They broke off their kiss slowly, both staring into each other's eyes, hardly believing that what was happening was true, daring it to be the truth, afraid it would all fall apart if they asked the wrong question. "Jack," Sam started out hesitantly...

"Sssshhhh," he said softly as he placed a finger on Sam's lips. "Everything will be great, trust me," with those words he was awarded by one of her rare hundred watt smile blossoming all over her face.

"You sure," she asked tentively, quickly sobering up.

"Yeah," Jack replied, "you know... we could just go home and send a diplomatic team instead."

"Ya think," Sam responded, smiling at his idea, and then continued innocently, "and what would we do with the extra time that gives us."

"I'm sure we could think of something... after all you are a genius," he completed, smiling at the ideas that came to mind.

"Really," Sam replied with a grin, milking the compliments for all they were worth and coming up with ideas of her own to pass the time, but unfortunately they were interupted from each other's eyes by Janet's soft cough.

"Sorry Sam... Jack," Janet said as the two broke apart, as if surprised at where they found themselves. Janet then waved faintly towards the watching crowd as her resoponse at the two questioning faces turned towards her.

"Oh," Sam said, surprised, as soon as the implications of where she was hit her. She looked back towards Colonel O'Neill and met his eyes briefly before turning back and addressing the crowd. "Good people of Xyla," she started speaking, "I'm sorry, but I have to leave. I promise I'll send some friends to show you your new system of gouvernment, though. I'm so very sorry," she finished sadly.

The crowd cheered back towards her, trying to brighten her up. They had never had such a beautiful queen before, though she didn't stay very long and they were very proud of her. Something to tell their future grandchildren. Just then a woman stepped forward, interupting the cheers. "Samantha, we thank thee for saving us from the past system of gouvernment and making Xylena step down so gracefully," at that the crowd chuckled. "We weren't sure if we would be able to accomplish such a thing by ourselves. In honor of your grand achievement we rename this planet Fortement Belle. After your great strength and your deep beauty," she finished, amongst cheers and whistles. Sam and Jack grinned at each other as they were swept up, along with Janet into the arm's of the crowd. Janet's thoughts turned towards a certain archeologist as they were marched towards the waiting Stargate and heartfelt goodbyes.

The End
