"Once you have chosen, you have to let go of everything."
"Ok. Done."
"What about your feelings for Jack?"
"What?" I was stunned by his openness.
"Come on Sam. I'm not stupid. I know that the only reason you want to return to Earth is because you want to see him."
I grinned sheepishly. "It's that obvious, huh?"
Daniel took my hands in his own and looked me straight in the eyes.
"Sam, I always knew how you felt about me. I felt the same." He kissed me on the forehead. "Tell Jack I said hi."
He took a step back and quoted a line from my favourite song.
"'If the sky can crack,
There must be someway back,
For love and only love.'"
Then, with a quick glance over my shoulder, he disappeared as abruptly as he'd arrived.
"Ok, think brain, THINK!" I said aloud. I was getting frustrated. Obviously Daniel was intending for me to return. But how? I'd spent the last hour thinking about it, and still hadn't come up with an answer. Daniel's words kept coming back to me. I finally gave up trying to think of a solution and thought back to what Daniel had said.
"Ok, obviously when he said it, it meant something," I thought aloud. "But what? Ok, he said it and then he looked over my shoulder and then he left. No. Wait…..."
"'If the sky can crack,
There must be someway back,
For love and only love.'"
Then, with a quick glance over my shoulder-
"At the Stargate!" I leapt up, overjoyed, and ran out of the room.
I ran straight to Colonel O'Neill's office.
"Jack, sir, I found a way to-"
He continued staring straight ahead. I suddenly remembered he couldn't hear me. I leaned over and tried to type something on his computer. My hand went straight through the keyboard.
"Damn it!" I yelled. I was so close! All of a sudden I heard Daniel's voice in my mind. I listened carefully.
"Thanks Daniel!" I grabbed Jack's hand.
"Sam?" Jack whispered, his voice cracking with emotion.
"Sir, listen to me." Somehow he'd been dragged into my little world. We were standing in front of the Stargate. "I know how to treat the virus. You need to send an amount of naquada into a state of particle decay-"
"What?" He was absolutely lost. I smiled. Remember who you're talking to here, Sam.
"Ok. You need to activate the Stargate………………."
Colonel O'Neill ran into the debriefing room.
"Colonel, what is the meaning of all this?!"
Uh oh. General Hammond sounded pissed.
"Well I just thought we hadn't been spending much time together lately and-"
"Colonel O'Neill!"
The colonel grinned smugly.
"I know how to make Carter better."
