A/N: WOW! Thank you guys sooo much for the reviews, it helps to get them. A couple of things: One, thanks Mayina Devaro for pointing out how long it would take to get from the SGC to Minnesota, I didn't figure it correctly, and therefore I will touch on that in this chapter. Secondly, since either my computer or Fanfic.net is being pissy, we are changing something. I cant use asterisks, they wont show up, so instead, I am using .... to show what they are thinking. Any suggestions are welcome, in fact- they are begged for! Some serious stuff will be coming up, so bear with me, please. R&R!

REVISED! A/N: I don't know what happened before, but here is the REALLY chapter 10. Chapter 11 coming soon, I hope, if I can just think of something. My boss thinks I am crazy cause I keep walking around going, "What if they did this.....what about that?....hmmmm R&R

After Daniel had finally dried off and all had had lunch, they returned to lying around and being bored. It wasn't unwelcome, however, to have nothing truly to worry about. In fact, as far as Sam Carter was concerned, she was relishing having nothing to do. After lunch, she returned to reading her book, but, like before, she wasn't able to rally concentrate. Jack had banished Daniel from fishing, to which please Daniel to no end, and the young archaeologist had decided to write in his journal. He was doing his best, and even half-succeeding, at keeping his thoughts hidden, but every now and then, something would leak through.

At Jack's cabin.....very nice here....jack was so mad, but eventually laughed it off, I don't think he is gonna kill me now. ...Sha're would have liked it here.....nice here with Janet though. I wonder....no, she wouldn't, but I wish.... Daniel mentally murmured in broken sentences. Sam knew that everyone, except Janet of course, could hear him, but no one was responding. She sighed and set her book down. "Hey, Daniel. Want to go for a walk with me?" She asked. Maybe she could talk him into asking Janet out, since she knew that Janet felt the same towards Daniel. Daniel looked up at her, then out the window, and smiled.

"Sure, why not?" He responded. He placed his journal in his room, then waved goodbye as he and Sam began to walk down the trail leading from Jack's house. Jack had told them all that it was a 3 mile hike, not too difficult, and went in a circle. Sam and Daniel walked slowly down the trail, taking in the beautiful scenery in silence. They had by now learned how to keep most of their thoughts to a minimum, though they could still hear Jack as he cursed the fish and blamed the bait for not attracting anything. They grinned as his voice slowly faded into the distance as he calmed.

"Do you think he has any clue that there aren't any fish in the lake?" Daniel asked quietly, trying not to disturb the comfortable silence any more than he had to. Sam grinned and shook her head.

"I doubt it. But as he says..."

"It isn't the fish, it is the act of fishing" they both said in unison, the laughed. They knew their friend far too well. They continued on in silence for a few more minutes. Sam kept looking at Daniel, trying to figure out how to begin her conversation.

"Just ask me whatever you want." Daniel blurted out. Sam looked at him for a moment in slight surprise, the smiled softly.

"Busted. Alright, well, I was wondering if you were ever going to ask Janet out." Sam said. Daniel stayed quiet for a moment, but Sam could hear his thoughts easily enough.

It's that obvious, huh? I don't know, Sam. I mean, what if she turns me down or something like that? Or worse, never wants to be around me again? He wondered. Sam smiled at him.

Foolish man! Of course she wouldn't do that, even if she didn't feel the same way. she thought and Daniel stopped to look at her for a moment.

She really feels the same as I do?

Yes, Daniel, although you weren't supposed to know that. Sam replied.

Yeah, well, I wasn't supposed to learn about how altitudes effect your...ya know...menstrual cycle...but I learned that, didn't I? he replied. Sam looked at him in shock.

How did you know that? she asked.

It was a long trip up here, Sam, and even if you try, you and Janet can't stop yourself from thinking for THAT many hours! Daniel replied with a grin. Sam grinned back, and focused on walking.

Oops. Well, anyway, you need to ask her out when we get back. Or just talk to her while you are here. I bet this would be a great walk at night in the moonlight. she said, wiggling her eyebrows. Daniel chuckled both in amusement and embarrassment at her suggestion.

Perhaps He replied in a very "Teal'c" voice. He paused again for a second and thought loudly to himself. Hey, Jack?! Can you or Teal'c hear me? he paused, waiting for a response, to which he got none. Good. So, when are you and Jack gonna finally get together?

Daniel! You know we can't do that. Sam admonished. She didn't even bother to deny their feelings; even without the telepathy, Daniel would have known she was lying.

I know, I know....Rules and Regulations. But, I think you should go for it anyway. Screw the regs! Daniel cried! A/N: I had to put it in there at least once There are more important things in life than obeying the rules, and this is one of them. Sam, I am sure you have thought this over dozens of times.

Try hundreds

Ok, well, you know all the arguments that I could give you then. But, you should try for it. You both deserve to be happy, and you wont be until you are together.

Daniel, you and I both know that it just isn't that simple.

Alright, let's look at it this way. You like Blue Jello, right? he asked. Sam grinned at the thought, alone.

I LOVE blue Jello.

And, you don't want any jello other than the blue one, right?

Right

So, what if you were told that you can't eat blue jello. It is against the rules to love the one thing that you love the most- blue jello.

That is ridiculous, Daniel. They can't stop you from loving jello. Sam retorted.

And do you think it is any different from loving the one man that you do? Daniel asked. Sam looked at him for a moment. She had fallen right into his trap. She sighed.

No. But eating Jello can't get you court-martialed. Loving Jack can. She pointed out. Daniel couldn't argue the point anymore, knowing that he wouldn't win anyway. They continued their walk in silence. They were getting closer to the house now, and were worried that the others would hear there conversation, so they fell silent again.
