The next morning Jack knocked on General Hammond's door. "Enter." With a smile Jack asked how he was feeling. "Like I drank too much."
"You did."
"Thanks for inviting me to go though."
Jack nodded. "Next year we'll get a hotel room. I already have two booked." He smiled, pleased with himself.
"That would be better I think."
Jack left Hammond's office a few minutes later and ran into Teal'c and Daniel. "Jack, thanks for last night."
"It was interesting." Teal'c told him.
"We needed the night off, and I knew we'd have fun." Jack explained. He already got thanked by Janet when he ran into her on the way to the general's office. "We'll do it again next year."
Daniel nodded. "Have you seen Sam yet?"
"Not yet, why?"
Daniel tried to hide a smile, it didn't work. "No reason."
"Daniel..." Jack said, warning him not to leave him hanging like that.
"See you in the briefing room Jack." Daniel said as he and Teal'c walked off.
Scowling, Jack turned to find Sam. Carter. She was Carter again. He reached her lab and heard music playing. She never played music in her lab. Walking in he caught her asleep at her computer. She was leaning on her arms, and the music was coming from her computer. Jack walked around to get a look at her screen, while trying not to disturb her. He saw that she was watching the fireworks again, with the music being what was played last night. It was a replay.
He backed up when she stirred, so she wouldn't sense his presence, and backed into a shelf. Sam jerked awake and turned to stare at him. "Sorry, sir. I didn't get any sleep last night."
Neither did he. "After the briefing of our mission tomorrow, I'm ordering you to get some sleep. I think I'll do the same."
Carter nodded. "Last night was fun Colonel."
"Yeah, well, I have good idea's every once in a while." He smiled.
"I missed the ending, and Teal'c told me it was spectacular, so I thought I'd watch it again." She said, nodding towards her computer.
"How'd you miss the ending?" Jack asked. He didn't remember anything happening to distract them.
"My eyes were closed." She answered. Jack didn't press. He'd closed his eyes a few times, soaking in her closeness. If she was doing the same, he couldn't know, not now.
Jack nodded. "Briefing in fifteen, then bed." He said as he left her lab. As he walked to his office to grab some papers, he was thinking about early retirement. It was sounding better and better.
