Author's Note- So it seems my muse has no clue what time of the year it is. These are very very short and are pretty much fluff…though there may be angst in the later ones! Enjoy!

Set near the end of Season 1

Yellow- Friendship

Samantha Carter hated this holiday. Valentines Day. The one day out of the year that she wanted to stay curled up in bed and sleep the day away. Somehow this day managed to depress every woman that was single in the world. And really why did people think if you didn't have a man in your life, that you were somehow defective and incapable of lasting in a relationship. Maybe the person just hadn't found the right one yet.

Sam sighed as she walked back to her lab. She had really hoped that she'd be off world today, it was so her luck that she wasn't. Her plan was to get as much work as possible done and then drown herself in blue Jell-O.

She walked into her lab but stopped in her tracks when she saw what was laying on her desk. It was a single perfect yellow rose. She tenderly picked it up and stroked the silky petals.

A small note was attacked to it. Thank you for your friendship it read. She looked at confusion at the note. Who could it be from…and on Valentines Day?

Her first thought was Daniel. He of all people would know that a yellow rose meant friendship…but it didn't make any sense. He didn't even seem the type that would give her a rose.

"Secret admirer Carter?" A voice said from her doorway.

Her head shot up at the unexpected person leaning against the frame of her door. "Oh…sorry sir I didn't see you there." She said embarrassed to be caught with the flower in her hand.

She quickly put it on her desk and Jack walked up to her.

"So…who's it from?" He questioned.

Sam shifted uncomfortably. "Well to be perfectly honest I'm not sure sir."

"You're not sure…what does the note say?" Jack said his gaze on the flower.

She handed him the note and he read it over.

"Well there's no name, maybe it's from Teal'c?" He said brightly.

Sam coughed. "Somehow I can't see Teal'c giving a woman a rose."

"Yes you're right. That would probably clash with his warrior image that he has going on." Jack said.

"Probably." She said laughing.

"Well maybe it's from Daniel." He said after a moment of thinking.

"Daniel is in love with Sha're, he wouldn't give someone a rose either."

"I guess I can't help you Carter." Jack said as he started to head to her door. "Have fun trying to figure it out, I'm sure there's a lot of men on this base that want to give a lovely lady like yourself flowers."

Sam bit her lip. It couldn't be…the Colonel wouldn't really send her flowers…would he?

"Sir…did you give it to me?" She asked him as he was about to walk out the door.

Jack turned around and grinned at her, his eyes dancing with mischief. "I have no idea what you're talking about." He said as he walked out her door.

Sam laughed and picked up the rose once more, knowing full well who the man was who left it for her.
