Why This Must Be Read: There is so much to love in this charming fic as Teal'c helps Sam make the move from Colorado Springs to Area 51 in that nebulous gap between S8 and S9. You will savor their easy friendship, their consideration from one another, their amusement and bemusement and the bittersweet notes of parting -- particularly their final exchange and the poignancy of Teal'c's final thoughts.
Great Teal'c POV, wonderful friendship piece, and delightful characterization make this a story you're sure to enjoy.
He walked to the U-haul and slid into the driver’s seat. He’d offered to drive the first leg of the trip to Nevada. Teal’c knew that Col. Carter would not have slept the previous night despite the exhaustion of packing, loading furniture, and worrying about leaving one life for another. He adjusted the mirrors and flipped through the meticulous trip plan Col. Carter had laid out for them. Cheapest gas stations, best locations for food, cleanest rest areas had all been color-coded on a map. Daniel Jackson and O’Neill teased her when they saw it; Cassandra Fraiser just grinned before saying, “It’s why we love her.”
He traced his finger along their route: I-25 to Co-470 to I-70 until Vegas and then a long drive north on a dark road until they hit Area 51, tucked within Creech AFB. The map printout said it would take roughly 12 hours, but he knew with the two of them driving, it would take less than that. The passenger door opened and Col. Carter slid into the van.
“Okay,” she said. “Let’s get this show on the road.”
Teal’c put the van into gear and gently pulled away so as not to jar the cargo behind him. Col. Carter did not look back as they made their way to the highway.
