A/N: Sorry it's been sooooooo long since I updated. Once again, I own nothing. Enjoy, and please review.


Sam walked to school the next day. She looked out the window and saw that her dad's car was gone, so she went downstairs and read a note that had been left for her.

Sammie,

I'll be home at eight. I'm sorry we have to move, but that's the way it has to be.

Love you,

Dad

She scrunched it up and threw it in the bin. She decided to skip breakfast and went to knock on Janet's door.

"Hey," she said when Janet answered the door.

The brunette smiled. "Hey, you coming to school today?"

Sam nodded. "Yeah, let's go."

Janet grabbed her bag and the two of them headed to school. "So where were you yesterday?"

"Locked in my room."

She gave Sam a 'look'.

"Listen, I'm not in a very good mood, I don't want to talk about it," said Sam.

Janet shrugged and decided not to ask anymore questions. "Daniel and I are going to the mall later, want to come?"

"I don't know. I don't want to intrude or anything."

"Don't worry, we're only going to pick up a few things."

"OK, sure," said Sam. She didn't really want to, but she didn't want to ditch her friend.

At SG High she was bombarded with questions about why she missed school the previous day. She told them the same thing she'd told Janet and went to sit next to Jack. They may not have been dating for very long, but they loved each other and people knew that the two of them were off limits. "Hey, Sam," said Jack.

"Hey, Jack. I sorry I had to cancel last night, I feel really bad, can we reschedule?" she asked.

"Sure. How about tonight?"

Sam smiled. "Sounds great."

The gang were all sitting French class (the one class they all had together) and were goofing around. The teacher was known as DJ Walrus but her real name was Miss Franklin. Before she became a teacher she was a DJ and since then she'd also put on a few pounds, hence her nickname.

Ferretti was talking to Teal'c when his eyes drifted over to a slightly Japanese (was it Japanese?) looking girl with black hair on the other side of the room. "Wow," he muttered. "Who's that?"

Teal'c turned around and did a casual sweep of the room. "The new girl. Her name's Carolyn, I think."

Ferretti smiled and nodded. "Nice."

Teal'c laughed. "Here's some advice, if you want to ask her out, I'd wait until you eyebrow grows back."

"I've thought about that," he said.

He opened his bag and got a small medical kit out. He found a band-aid and stuck it to where his missing eyebrow would normally be. Teal'c smiled and nodded his approval. "Very nice," he said.

Ferretti then stuck another one on his cheek. "There, now it looks like I was in a fight instead of only having one eyebrow."

He got up and crawled over to Carolyn to avoid detection by DJ Walrus. "Hey," he said.

She looked up and smiled. "Hey."

"Um, I'm Ferretti," he extended his hand.

She shook it. "Nice to meet you. I'm Carolyn Lam."

"That's a nice name," he said. "So Carolyn, where did you move from?"

"New York. My dad got a new job and we had to move," she said.

"What's he do?"

She looked a little uncomfortable. "Err, he's the principle."

Ferretti's eyebrows – well, eyebrow – shot up. "But isn't his name Principle Landry?"

Carolyn nodded. "Yeah, but I took my mother's name."

"I see." He didn't, but oh well.


Sam sat at the lunch table playing with the food on her plate, completely ignoring what was going on around her.

"What do you think, Sam?" asked Kawalsky.

She snapped out of her train of thought. "Err, yeah sure, whatever."

Vala looked at her suspiciously. "Are you OK?"

"I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"Yes! I'm fine, please leave me alone!" she snapped.

Kawalsky ate a spoonful of lumpy mashed potatoes and asked, "Did you get your period or something? 'Cause your really cranky."

"I'm moving, OK. To Washington, is that what you want to hear?!" she demanded.

Everyone at the table suddenly fell silent and stared at her. Daniel was the first to recover. "Your what?"

Sam looked at the floor. "Moving," she whispered.

Jack got up and went to hug her. "When?"

"Two and a half weeks."

She excused herself from the table and no one saw her until class. The others had decided not to ask about it, she'd talk when she was ready. Sam buried herself in her work and avoided talking to anyone until she met up with Janet and Daniel after school. The trio silently made they're way to the mall.

"What are we looking for?" asked Daniel.

"I want a dress for the winter dance and I need you to say what makes my ass look big," said Janet.

Daniel sighed and shook his head. He hadn't actually asked her to the dance yet, he just assumed they were going together. "Janet, we are going to the dance, right?"

She looked a little taken back. "Of course we are."

"Cool."

They looked in various shops but didn't find anything that Janet liked. Well, actually she liked a lot of them but was really out to see what Daniel liked so she could dazzle him at the dance. She stopped walking when they went past a fashion shop. Janet took a couple of steps backwards and looked at the display. "Now those I have to have," she said, pointing at a pair of silver high heels.

Daniel and Sam came to join her. "Why? Don't you have enough?" he asked.

Janet gave him a 'look'. "Daniel, there shoes, I'm a girl, do the math," she dragged her boyfriend and an unusually quiet Sam into the shop and brought the shoes.

She was beginning to get worried about Sam. Even though her best friend was moving to another state, she wasn't that bothered. She knew that Sam would come up with some brilliant idea and would be able to stay with them, however the fact that she'd barley said anything since lunch was worrying. They gave up on the search for a dress and went home. The girls bid Daniel farewell and Janet quickly popped back to the mall to pick up the dress that Daniel said made her look like an angel. It was light blue, strapless and had glitter at the bottom.

"So, your moving," she said, once they were outside.

Sam nodded. "Looks like it."

"I'd ask you to stay with me, but you know how little room we have. Remember how crowded it always is when you and Vala sleepover?" she asked, receiving another nod from her friend. "Can't you rent an apartment?"

"No," Sam sighed. "All the ones round here are way to expensive. And how would I pay the rent? I'm way to busy to get a job."

"We'll think of something, Sam. Don't give up," she said as they came to their houses. "And have run with Jack tonight."

Sam froze. Her date with Jack! She'd completely forgot. She unlocked her front door, tripped over the dog and ran up to her room to get changed. She still had a few hours before her dad was due to arrive home, but only had a few minutes before she was supposed to arrive at Jack's house. She changed out of her cheerleading uniform and into a pair of denim jeans, a T-shirt and jacket.

She grabbed her car keys and drove to Jack's.

She parked in his drive and knocked on the door.

"Hey," she said when Jack answered the door.

He looked annoyed. "Moving? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I…I only found out a two days ago. I didn't know how you'd take it," said Sam.

He invited her in and lent against the door. "It's for sure, your defiantly moving?"

She nodded, unable to meet his deep, chocolate brown eyes.

"Then we have to enjoy every moment together," said Jack, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close. "And we'll still keep in touch, we can write and talk on the phone to each other. Besides, we'll be going to college soon, maybe we'll both get into the same one."

They sat down on the couch and switched on a movie they had rented for the night before. However, neither of them could get into the mood so they gave up and turned it off.

"Hi, Sam. Good to see you again," said Jack's mom as she came home from work.

Sam smiled. "You to, Mrs O'Neill."

She shook her head. "How many times have I told you to call me Margaret?"

Margaret took her coat off and hung it up. "So, what are you guys doing?"

"We were watching a movie, but we're not in the mood," said Jack.

"Why not?"

Jack sighed. "Sam's moving."

"Moving to where?"

"Washington," said Sam. "In just under three weeks."

Margaret looked upset. She really liked Sam and she made her son happy. Heck, she hadn't seen him this happy since before his brother died. "That's terrible," she said. "You know your welcome to visit and stay with us when ever you like."

"Thanks."

Jack smiled. Suddenly he had an idea that just might work, but he'd have to ask his mom about it later.


TBC...

BTW, DJ Walrus is an actual teacher at my school, although I changed her name.
