=================

'All right come on Jack get it together, pull yourself up, get over it, and move on. Sam had no intrest in those guys on '864 sure she flirted with them but it didn't mean anything right?' Jack thought to himself while drivng himself and Teal'c to the club the band was playing at. 'I mean sure they were all right looking but come on......no way she could have liked any of them. Ah hell just forget about her, we'll never be more then friends any way. Just gonna end up driving myself mad thinking about it.'

After nearly getting killed a few times Jack finally managed to get them to the club in one piece.

"You ok there Teal'c? Jack asked suprised to see that Teal'c was actually gripping his door handle and was looking kind of pale.

"Next time I shall be the one to drive, O'Neill" Teal'c answered staring stright ahead out the front window.

'Ok note to self no driving and thinking about Sam at the same time' "Uh......sure thing Teal'c."

==============

Back stage, with his mind still on the whole Sam and other guys issue, Jack decided to make a slight change to the song list for the show. So after talking to the guys and making the needed changes they were ready to go on stage.

"Hey folks glad you you could make it to tonights show. Before we start the show I want to give you a little backround on the first three songs we're going to sing 'For You to Notice', 'Can't Go On', and 'I Think I Love You'. I got the inspiration for these songs from one of my best friends, a very special and important women in my life, but unfortunely, as much as I'd love to, different things just keep conspireing to keep us from becoming anything more then really good friends. So the only way to express how I really feel is through my music. First up is 'For You to Notice'."

(Music starts and Jack begins singing)

I'm starting to fashion an idea in my head

where I would impress you

with every single word I said.

Would come out insightful or brave or smooth or charming

and you'd want to call me

And I would be there every time

you'd need me

I'd be there every time...

But for now I'll look so longingly

waiting...

For you to want me, for you to need me, for you to notice me

(music stops)

"This next one is called 'Can't Go On'."

(Music starts up again)

How can it be easy to forget you when I think about you all the time

I never know how I miss you when I never had you, you were never mine

I move on, but I can't go on without you

Said I try, don't know why, what to do without you

Can't move on, can't move on

It'd be cool if we never met, if we never locked eyes

Then I'd feel so happy, not knowing you're so fine

I move on, but I can't go on without you

Said I try, don't know why, what to do without you

Can't move on, can't move on

I get so nervous when I'm around you there's nothing I can say

I wish you'd get outta my head, I think about you every day

I move on, but I can't go on without you

Said I try, don't know why, what to do without you

Can't move on, can't move on without......

ROCK!

I move on, but I can't go on without you

Said I try, don't know why, what to do without you

Can't move on, can't move on, can't move on, without you

(Music stops)

"Ok this one is called 'I Think I Love You'."

(Music starts up again)

I'm sleeping

right in the middle of a good dream

when all at once i wake up

from something that keeps knocking at my brain

before i go insane

i hold my pillow to my head

and spring up in my bed

screaming out the words i dread

I think I love you!

this morning i woke up with this feeling

i didnt know how to deal with

and so i just decided to myself

id hide it to myself

and never talk about it

and did not go and shout

when you walked into the room

i think i love you

i think i love you

so what am i so afraid of

im afraid that im not sure of

a love that theres no cure for

i think i love you

is that what life is made of

though it worries me to say

that i've never felt this way

believe me

u really dont have to worry

i only wanna make you happy

and if u say hey go away i will

but i think better still

i better stare out and love you

do u think i have a case

let me ask you to your face

i think i love you

i think i love you

so what am i so afraid of

im afraid that im not sure of

a love that theres no cure for

i think i love you

is that what life is made of

though it worries me to say

that i've never felt this way

i dont kno what im up agaisnt

i dont kno what its all about

i got so much to think about

i think i love

so what am i so afraid of

im afraid that im not sure of

a love that theres no cure for

do you think u love me?

i think i love you

i think i love you

i think i love you

The show went on for about another two hours before the band decided to call it good for the night. Once all the equipment had been taken off stage and loaded into the right cars Teal'c choose to take a cab back to the base instead of riding with Jack.

Making it back to his house just has it started to rain Jack hurried inside, changed into some dry and comfortable clothes, started up a fire, grab a beer from the fridge, and turned on the tv, looking for a hockey game or something to watch.

A little while later just has Jack was starting to dose off, there was a knock on his door. Getting up and opening the door Jack was shocked to see a sopping wet Sam standing on the other side.

"Carter what you doing? Get in here before you freeze." Jack ordered as he lead Sam into the living room and sat here down by the fire place. "Geeze Carter you look like a drowned rat. Wait here I'll be right back."

Jack hurried back to his room and pulled a pair of sweat pants and a sweater out of his drawer along with some towels from the bathroom.

"Here are some towels to dry yourself off with and some dry clothes you can change into. Jack handed the clothes and towels to Sam. "You know where the bathroom is."

"Thanks" Sam headed towards the bathroom.

While Sam was in the bathroom Jack grabbed some blankets out of a closet and then put more wood on to the fire. Once Sam came back out Jack ushered her over to sit by the fire.

"So once again what are you doing here? I thought you were off world with SG-10 intill tomorow."

"We got back early. And I'm here because I wanted to know if you really ment it what you said tonight at the begining of your show and in those three songs."

"Wo...wait you were at the show tonight?"

"Yeah I got a cab and went stright to the club from the base. I got there just as you guys got on stage. After the show I went for a walk to think about things, then it started to rain and then next thing I knew I was at your door. So did you mean it?

"Come on do you even have to ask? Of course I ment what I said every word of it."

"So where do we go from here?"

"I don't know. Theres really not a whole lot of options, but that can wait 'till morning right now I say we just sit here and enjoy the moment."

And so Jack and Sam spent the rest of the night sitting by the fire just talking about everything and nothing, while enjoying each others company. As the sun rose both knew that not only did it mean the start of a new day, but also a new stage in their relationship: moving from really good friends stage to the not quite a couple stage just yet. But one day, one day they knew that they'd get there some how, some way.
