It's Sunday October 22nd 2000,
I'm Samantha Simmons and today was one of those days that you look back on and have to just smile. Okay sounds mushy right? Well the thing is... Let me just tell you.
We see Samantha wake up the sun has just hit her face and a shadow moves about her room. Sam opens her eyes smiling to see Michael looking at her cds and picture frames on her desk. He senses she's awake and turns smiling at her.
"I hope you didn't mind I stayed, you know to talk and see if you wanted a ride to work this afternoon."
Sam looked to the clock it was 9am she had three hours before her shift.
"Sure that'd be great of course you would need to leave the way you came I'm not sure I could explain to my folks why you spent the night."
Michael nodded and smiled he picked up a picture of Liz, Sam, Maria and Alex from 8th grade.
"Some things never change."
Michael nodded and put the picture down.
"I just wanted to tell you that, well I'm not sorry I kissed you, nor am I sorry that I have been remembering us together."
Sam pushed herself more off the bed and grabbed the end of the mattress.
"It's not that I don't want you to remember I just don't know where to separate us from them."
Michael sat on the couch across from Sam.
"There's no real difference Sam."
Sam got up and grabbed her robe she tied it around her waste and slipped on her slippers.
"There has to be, I'm not her I mean I can't be her."
Michael stood up and grabbed Sam by the shoulders. "What did she do that was so wrong?"
Sam shook her head and tried not to remember the past the lingering question had been plaguing Sam she hadn't dreamed about it yet but what had happened how they had died. The feeling made Sam sick.
"We died Michael and I don't want to remember that, there are painful memories that will come with the good. Are you ready for those?"
Michael's eyes went to Sam's lips his hands fell from her shoulders to her hands and he smiled.
"Isn't that what love is about."
Sam turned away leaving Michael alone staring at her back.
"Michael this isn't like you, the way you're talking."
Michael nodded and sat down on Sam's bed.
"I know, but the way I've been acting for the past ten years it's."
He looked up at her and smiled.
"I have no responsibilities other than those here on earth."
Sam shook her head.
"You mean you don't want to go back?"
Michael shrugged and sat up straight.
"There's a war out there and that's why we're here right? Stay on Earth become powerful enough to save our people?"
Sam nodded and smiled, "Right."
Michael nodded with her.
"Right but this time I have no-one to please."
Michael looked down to Sam's hand and touched it gently.
"I can live for myself not for my kingdom, you and I can be together."
Sam looked up into Michael's eyes and wondered if it could really happen. If she could forget the past and let Michael in. She leaned in and kissed Michael they found themselves kissing for what seemed like forever.
When the two separated Michael kissed Sam's forehead and smiled he grabbed his leather jacket from her computer chair and winked at her as he headed out to her balcony to get his bike. Sam sat stunned, she had just started a relationship with Michael and now that it was there and going on things weren't ever going to be the same. Sam slightly worried but with butterflies in her stomach proceeded to put on her waitress uniform. Fifteen minutes later she found herself on the back of Michael's bike heading to his apartment.
The apartment was small, it had the feel of a frat house with a fooz-ball table in the patio. Sam sat on a stool as Michael smiled and looked for something to drink. He had grape and orange soda Sam nodded when he pulled them out and got her a glass he also handed her a bottle of Tabasco. They hadn't really talked on the way here and now they were just enjoying the silence. As soon as Michael had finished his soda he looked around the apartment and noticed it was a mess.
"I'm just gonna..."
Sam nodded as Michael grabbed some laundry and then pointed to the bathroom. A few minutes later the shower was running and Sam was now looking around his apartment. A large section of Michael's shelf space was dedicated to a stereo and a overabundance of every Metallica CD there was. All in some weird order, Sam smiled as she noticed the order was according to release dates. Laughing to herself Sam heard a knock and before she knew it Max was standing in the living room with an interested look on his face.
"Umm is Michael here?"
With that question the shower water turned off and Michael emerged from the bathroom moments later to see both Max and Sam looking at him in his towel. Sam looked down as Max gave him and what's going on look.
"Michael can I talk to you for a minute?"
Michael shrugged as Max followed him into his room where he looked around for a clean uniform.
"So is something going on Michael?"
Michael shrugged and dug out a clean shirt from a laundry mat bag.
"I don't know yet Maxamillion but when I find out I'll call you okay."
He smiled slyly at Max and patted his shoulder as he made his way to another basket at the far corner of his room.
"Are you two, dating?"
There was a long pause, Michael scratched his right eyebrow as he remembered his previous life and being with Sam.
"I think we're beyond that."
Michael smiled as he pulled out folded black work pants and a new crisp chef's apron.
"Wait what do you mean beyond that?"
"Maxamillion it's simple, we're in love, we remember who we were to each other and now we're picking up where we left off okay, now I have to change.
With that Max was ushered to the door and it closed as Sam stifled a small giggle while Max turned red. He walked over to Sam.
"He's acting weird."
Sam nodded, "I know."
Max nodded with her. "Well I guess I'll have to talk to him about History notes later I'll see ya."
Sam nodded, "Oh wait Max."
Max stopped, "I know this is weird to ask but can you just keep you know, Michael and I to yourself it's complicated but things would be easier you know for a while."
Max stopped and then smiled and nodded. He was out of the door and in his jeep just as Michael came out ready for work. Michael's spiky hair was perfectly managed and made him look very cute as he came out in his work clothes.
"Did he leave?"
Sam nodded and motioned to the door. She stood up just as Michael came closer to her and started kissing her the two were on the coach for a half and hour when Sam noticed it was ten minutes to twelve.
"Oh Michael we have to go we're going to be late for work."
Michael smiled and kissed Sam as she tried playfully pushing him away and getting up.
"Michael, just one thing though, I'm not ready to deal with everyone so can this stay between us for a little while."
Michael tilted his head to the side and then smiled.
"Sure."
With that they were off to work.
Meanwhile at John's house Lucas was trying to calm him down enough to understand why he was so upset.
"So I saw him leave this morning out of her window and then they took off on his bike."
"John, what does this have to do with us?"
"They're getting back together Rath and Macaria."
Lucas shook his head at John, "No, Michael and Sam."
"Look we don't even know the details of what happened before, and Michael, he has no clue."
Lucas stiffened with John's tone.
"Are you suggesting that it's Sam's fault for what happened? Don't let your feelings get in the way of how you perceive the situation."
John stood erect and eyed Lucas.
"What are you talking about?"
Lucas shrugged, "If you still have residual feelings for Sam you have to be fair to Sandie and Sam. But deal with them on your own."
"I don't.."
Lucas jumped in, "I remember too how it was we all felt something for her we all fought for her we loved her in our own way and that made dying or fighting for her worth something. But you tried to work out a relationship and as we know your destiny was to be with Sandie."
John sat down on one of his bean bag chairs that was facing his Play- station.
"Maybe you're so comfortable with Michael being with her cause that means no chance of Maria falling back into his arms."
Lucas smiled at John's jab and shook his head.
"I'm not afraid of loosing Maria, I know that whatever happens, well happens and you can't change your mind nor can you have it all."
John nodded, "Why does this come so easy for you?"
Lucas shrugged, "I've always had faith in Sam and in us."
He stood up and patted John on the back and left the room to go home while John sat quietly thinking.
I guess you never really know how your life is going to turn out. I mean I have these powers I see things sometimes and yet I can't even find out when a huge change like this is going to occur. Maybe this is as close as I'm going to get to being normal. I suppose there's tons of other girls who are dating their long lost love from another lifetime.
I'm Samantha Simmons and today was one of those days that you look back on and have to just smile. Okay sounds mushy right? Well the thing is... Let me just tell you.
