A/N: I love the song I have in here. Actually I call it 'my' song. Plz R&R.

********************

Sam stood there freezing her ass off, but she really didn't mind. In her opinion, the AC was just a little too cool, but Siler claimed that it was the same as it was every other day. She just starting blaming her dress for it.

Yes, her dress. The perfect dress for one of the best evenings of her adult life. It was a dark navy blue; so dark in fact, that when she first saw it, she thought it was black. It was rather low in the back, and she kept getting the feeling that her butt was hanging out. Janet assured her, however, that it wasn't and that she looked fine.

She was currently sipping on her champagne and enjoying herself. It had been a while since she had done that. Probably the last time she'd done it was the night Daniel remembered everything from his life on Earth. They'd had a big party at the colonel's house, and she had enjoyed herself. The reason they were celebrating was the fact that the SGC had been in operation now for eight years to the day. It was certainly something to celebrate.

As the night wore on, she found herself wanting to dance. But, no one asked her. She was a little disappointed, but she didn't dwell on it.

Then he was beside her. He looked good in his suit and tie. It was completely gray, the pants, jacket, shirt, and tie. All of it. But damn, did he look good. (A/N: if you saw the interview that RDA gave on the Wayne Brady show, I'm basically describing that suit.)

"Hey sir."

"Carter."

"Nice party."

"Yeah it is. You look amazing by the way."

"Thank you, so do you."

While they both wanted to say so much more, they didn't.

The lights suddenly lowered, and some Lt. announced that it was going to be the last song of the evening.

"Sam, would you care to dance?"

"I would love to."

She took the hand presented to her, and as the music started, moved closer to the man who had her captured in his arms.

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way

Tell me did you sail across the sun

Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded

And that heaven is overrated

********************

As the music was playing, I found myself resting my head on his shoulder.

"Jack?"

"Hmm?"

"I want you to know something."

"What is it?"

"I'm making a promise to you right now."

"A promise, eh?"

"The promise that, I will never love another man. The promise that, as soon as this war is over, you and I can have a life together, with little kids of our own running around."

"Sounds good. I may just have to hold you to that promise Carter."

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

As the song comes to a close, we share a rather chaste kiss. It's just a promise of what's to come. And for now, I'm happy with that.
