They tried to catch a falling star.

Thinking she had gone to far.

She had but kept it hidden it well

Until she cracked and then she fell.

If all the history is true

She's gonna end up just like you

You made it to the other side

But tell me who will be my guide

They build you up so they can tear you down

Trust the ocean you'll never drown

Who's next

Who's gonna steal your crown?

You'll see

Sam sat on the couch watching Jack, Daniel, and Teal'c play a video game. This is just how I want to spend my Friday night, she thought, I should have gone to see Anna and The King with Janet and Cassie.

"Danny, stop running into the wall. Ya have to play." Jack said laughing.

"Sam isn't playing."

'She would be, but I can't find the fourth controller. Someone must have taken it." Jack said looking straight at Sam. Sam gave him an 'I'm innocent' face.

"O'Neill, I believe you have died."

"What!! Son of a but monkey." Jack said throwing the controller down.

"Real mature, Sir." Sam said laughing.

"Sidearm."

"So what are we going to do tonight?" Sam asked, "I'm not sitting around all night watching you guys play video games."

"We could go see a movie." Daniel said grabbing the paper.

"Bar Crawl." Jack said bouncing in his seat.

"NO!!" Sam and Daniel cried looking at him.

"What?"

"Jack do you remember what happened last time? Oh, wait you were drunk!" Daniel said looking for the movie section of the paper.

"Listen up, SPACE MONKEY…"

"O'Neill, I believe DanielJackson has a valid idea. There are a number of motion pictures I wish to see." Teal'c said as he put away the game controllers.

"Let's go to the movies." Jack said sighing in defeat.

"Jack! That was a red light." Daniel said.

"Nope, it was yellow. And no back seat driving."

"What do you guys feel like seeing?" Sam said reading the times.

"Galaxy Quest."

"Jack, that's a kids movie."

"Shut up, Daniel."

"I have an interest in the Green Mile, O'Neill."

"Teal'c that looks depressing." Jack said running another red light. "Toy Story 2, is my vote."

"Again, Jack…"

"Danny, do you want to walk home?"

"….."

"Excusse me?"

"Nothing."

"Carter, what movie should we go see? You choose. Just no sappy chick flick, please." Jack said pulling into a parking space.

As the group walked up to the ticket counter, Sam rolled her eyes at Jack and Daniel. They were like four year olds.

"SAM!!!" a voice yelled just as a body slammed into her.

"Cassie, hey," Sam said hugging the girl," I thought you were going to see Anna and The King."

"It's sold out. Help me convince Mom to go see Toy Story 2." Cassie said pulling Sam.

""We're not going to see Toy Story 2," Janet said as they got in line with her.

"Okay, Campers, Toy Story 2 it is." Jack said. Cassie squealed and began jumping up and down.

"What is this Toy Story ?" Teal'c asked.

"Danny, explain." Jack said pulling out his credit card to buy the tickets.

Great, Sam thought, I'm gonning to have to sit through this STUPID Movie, and listen to Jack and Daniel argue about it. At least Janet will be there.

"Carter!"

"Sir?" Sam looked up to Jack looking at her expectantly. They moved out of line.

"Jack. I asked if you wanted anything." He said nodding toward the concession stand.

"Oh, umm..a diet coke."

"I'll grab it. You make sure we get good seats." He said walking away.

"Major Carter, it is good to see you." A familiar voice said beside her.

"General Hammond, good to see you."

"General, you made it." Cassie said bouncing over to them, "See Mom, I told you he would come."

"General." The other said nodding at him.

"Carter, why are we just standing in the hallway? I thought I told you to get us good saets..General." Jack said walking up arms full.

"Colonel." Hammond said laughing.

"OK,OK, we all know each other. Can we go get seats now? I don't want to be stuck in the back with all the old people and the people making out." Cassie said with her hands ion her hips glaring at them.

"Colonel, Major, General, Doctor, Doctor, visitor from afar, Cassie, my Sweet." A voice said as Cassie was swept up.

Cassie squealed as the group of men swung her around.

"Makepeace, Ferrettii, …Sg's 4 thru 10, welcome." Jack said looking over the group in amazement.

""Cassie, how many people did you invite?" Janet said claming her daughter back.

"Um…everyone at the SGC." Cassie said laughing as Sg6 swung her.

"Cassandra Fraiser…"

"Oh, look at the time. Time to find seats." Cassie said dragging SG6 into the theater after her.

"Okay, is any one else at all worried that a kid has the power to manipulate us?" Daniel asked.

Jack laughed as he handing Sam her soda. "Well, Danny, we'll just have to keep her away from Maybourne."

Cassie quickly began 'assigning' seats to people. She had broken up most of the teams and was down to Sg1.

Well, the nights not a total waste, Sam thought. I swear I'm going to kill Janet for this though. 'Sam sit over here by me.' Of course, it was the only seat in the row left, which just happened to be next to Jack. Sitting in a dark, theater next to Jack. Was he wearing those jeans when we left? Could they get any tighter on that fine ass?

I have learned my lesion well

The truth is out there I can tell

Don't look back and don't give into their lies and goodbyes

Northern Star

Sam slammed the door shut and threw her jacket across the room. I could kill him. That argent, stupid, son-of-a-b….. Well, what did you expect, Sam thought to herself.

She threw her keys and change onto the table in her room. The evening had gone great tell they had gotten to Oddballz. After the movie, all off the SGC present had gone out. To blow off steam, do some bonding, and of course, some drinking. What could possibly go wrong?

Sam stabbed her answering machine, and listened to the messages.

BEEP

"Sam, look call me when you get home. Oh, It's Daniel."

BEEP

" Sam, it's Janet. Call me as soon as you get this. What happened?"

What happened? Oddballz happened.

It looked like a nice bar. It was done in a theme that the members of the SGC knew. They had all almost fallen over laughing when they walked through the door. It looked as if a museum had exploded in the bar. Daniel was in heaven. Things were going great, until SHE had walked in. Janet had gone out of her way to make sure Sam and Jack were left alone. Threats of physical harm had no dough be used. The two of them had talked about everything. They had laughed at their friends, being silly a few tables over.

Teal'c had asked her to dance. Turns out, he was an excellent dancer. While they were dancing, SHE had come in. All 5 foot 7 inches, blond hair, and perfect in every way.

I beat it isn't real; Sam thought stabbing the machine again, what kind of name is Candy?

BEEP

"Sam, it's Mark. Call me when you get this message. It's nothing really important. Just want to see how my little sister is doing."

I wonder if Mark would beat up Jack, Sam thought, as she grabbed the phone to call him back.

Fulfill the longing in your heart

Then we will never be apart

And if they dare to question you

Just tell them that our love is true

They build you dreams so they can sell your soul

Is it any wonder we've lost control?

Feelings come

Feelings go

Sam sat at her kitchen table eating ice cream and thinking. I can't believe he LEFT with HER!! Oh, sure, he asked if it was okay. What was I suppose to say; no you can't go with the bimbo, because I'M in love with you. That would look sooo good. No, I said it was okay. And he LEFT, with HER!!! I tried to stick around Oddballz, after they left. Janet was making her way toward you, with that 'what the heck is going on' look on her face. And what did I do, I panicked and split. I can face down aliens, but I can't tell my best friend that the man I love left with someone else.

'Why do I always fall for the freaking lunatic fringe!" Sam yelled out. The sound echoed off the walls of the kitchen.

Sam shoved the ice cream back in the freezer and went to bed.

I have learned my lesion well

The truth is out there I can tell

Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes

Live your life with out regret

Don't be someone who they forget

When you're lost reach out for me

And you'll see she's not far

Northern Star

"Sam, the General wants to see us in the control room. " Daniel said popping his head into the lab.

"Thanks Daniel." Sam said forcing a smile. She didn't know who she was going to kill first, Daniel or Janet. All weekend long, they had called her. Thank god, we're going on a mission, Sam thought, I can get away from Janet, but I'll be stuck on a planet with Daniel. Oh, and HIM.

General Hammond, Teal'c, Daniel, and Jack were all waiting for her. Jack gave her a look when she entered. Sam ignored him.

"Major Carter, your father has asked that Sg1 help the Tok' ra with something. And I have agreed. SG1, you leave in twenty minutes."

Sam fled the briefing room and grabbed her things. Thank you, Dad. Now I can get away from Jack and Daniel. Sam wondered what the Tok'ra could need.

" MAJOR CARTER!!! You can't hide from me forever." Jack bellowed as Sam ran around a corner.

Sam rushed past her father into on of the labs. Behind her she could hear her father stopping Jack.

"Colonel O'Neill, would you care to tell me why you're yelling at my daughter? And why she can't seem to stand to be in the same room s you?" Jacob said glaring at the younger man.

"'I'm sorry, General Carter, I don't know why she is avoiding me. I need to talk to her, Sir."
"See that you do, Jack. But later please." Jacob said turning him away from the lab.

Sam looked up as her father entered the lab. He gave her a look.

"And, what was that about?" he asked.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I thought I could handle this. I thought I could avoid Jack, I mean Colonel O'Neill, here. I wouldn't have to deal with it. I mean, it's nothing." Sam said trying not to cry.

Jacob walked over and pulled his daughter into his arms. "What happened, Sammy?" he asked softly.

"For starters, I fell in love with my commanding officer. Who, by the way is a back-stabbing, skirt chasing ,…"

"Sam." Jacob said pulling her tighter.

"Oh, Dad," Sam said as her tears beagin to flow, " He's…"

"He's dating someone else." Jacob said rubbing her back.

Sam nodded as the dam broke and tears poured out of her.

"Honey, I'm sorry."

I have learned my lesson well

The Truth is out there I can tell

Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes

Live your life with out regret

Don't be someone who they forget

When you're lost reach out for me

And you'll see she's not far
