Copyright: You should know it by now...for those who don't, Stargate SG-1 belongs to Richard Dean Anderson and all his buddies and their companies. This is for entertainment purposes only, no copyright infringement intended. I'm just borrowing the people to make a story that wouldn't fit into Stargate. For if it did fit into Stargate then it wouldn't be called fanfiction, and Stargate wouldn't be called Stargate. I'm really good at confusing people so if you aren't confused by now you're doing great. This story is mine though
Author's Notes: Just a little daydreaming on my part. School got too boring. The song used in this fic is "fall into me" by Emerson Drive. This story takes place 1 month after they finally save the universe once and for all, rid the universe of the goa'uld/systems lords/baddies, SG-1 are heroes, yadda, yadda, you get the drift.
A/N2: Thanks to Karrie-Beth for the beta reading.

*Right here waiting, staying strong, come and fall into me...*
Sam sat on the couch, facing the window while listening to a radio station. She watched the leaves fall from the trees on a late autumn day in November.
"Maybe I'll go rake leaves. It's kind of hard not having anything to do and having lots of downtime...and I mean lots of downtime, few months of downtime to be exact. We defeated the Goa'uld after all. Maybe after this downtime I could see Jack and discuss retirement. Okay, now I'm talking to myself...this is bad. Alright, stay focused," She said slowly, "raaaake leeeaaves."
A few minutes later she was outside in the backyard, using a leaf blower to get the leaves into a pile. Once she got them into a pile, she gracefully fell backwards into the leaves. Having her headphones on, she flipped through the radio stations and found her favorite song, "Fall into me." She turned up the volume for the song.
*And I need you to know, you can fall into me, that me arms are wide open, and will always be, right here waiting, staying strong, come and fall into me…*
She closed her eyes and moved her head to the beat. Jack pulled up into the driveway in front. He knocked at the front door and no one answered. He saw the garage door open though. He went in the back and saw a figure in the pile of leaves on the far side of the backyard. He knew it had to be Sam. A grin came to his face. An idea came to mind. While he was at the backyard gate, Sam was in the pile, now singing the song.
*I'll follow any road, any road to get to you, I'd open up my soul, if that's what you need me to do, now babe it's your move, all you gotta do is believe in love, just believe in us…*
All of a sudden a multitude of leaves came flying at Sam's face. She cleared the leaves from her face to see her 6' 2" Commanding Officer towering over her. She took off her headset.
"Hey Jack."
"Hi Sam, watchya doin'?"
"I'm raking leaves."
"Correction. *Was* raking leaves."
"Fine...*was* raking leaves."
"How long have you been out here?"
"Maybe an hour or so."
He saw a small section of leaves in the pile. There was obviously much more to do.
"Need help?"
Sam grinned, "uh...sure, why not?"
Jack helped her up out of the leaves and brushed off the leaves on her back. They both smiled.
"There's a rake in the garage," Sam said.
"Thanks."
They started working, occasionally glancing at each other. After they were done with the yard, Sam went on the roof to blow all the leaves off the roof and out of the gutters. Sam got on the roof.
"What an I supposed to do?" Jack shouted from the ground.
"Catch me if I fall."
*Baby, I need you to know, you can fall into me, that my arms are wide open, and will always be, right here waiting, staying strong, come and fall into me*
