Not Exactly
My take on the comment by Sam "Not exactly" in last weeks episode. Since the scene cut off I am assuming that Sam and Agent Barret continued their conversation and she spelled things out a little more. For those of you who are wondering, I will be continuing After the Divide here shortly. I am just having a bit of writers bloc on how to get where I want the story to go. This is just a little side trip.
Oh, I don't own em!
"So you're single again?" Agent Barret asked hopefully.
Sam hesitated, not really sure how to say it. In the end she opted for, "Not exactly."
"Not exactly? What does that mean, either you're single or you're not." He quipped.
"Well, if you put it that way, then no I'm not single." She said a little curtly.
Agent Barret for his part did seem a bit chastised. "I'm sorry, Sam. I guess I had hoped maybe I get a chance to take you out some time."
Sam smiled sadly, and said, "Look, to be honest, even Pete never really had a chance. I shouldn't have even gotten involved with him to begin with. It took my dad dying for me to really put things in perspective."
"I read in the reports about your father. I'm sorry."
"Thanks, like I said, after Dad died I began to put things in perspective, and admitted that Pete and I were not going to make it. How can you commit to spend the rest of your life with someone, when you're in love with someone else?"
"Gen. O'Neill?"
Sam looked stunned a bit. "How did you…"
"Hey, I am NID, remember? I guess I was just hoping that my info was wrong."
"Yea, we're together now."
"As long as you're happy."
"I finally am. Took a long time to get there but I am finally happy with my life."
"Do me a favor though, if anything ever happens, I have dibs on taking you out to dinner first, ok?"
Sam smiled knowing that the chance of something happening to her and Jack were slim to none, she couldn't help but say, "Alright, if we ever break up, you have first dibs to take me out to dinner."
"Cool." At that moment Daniel showed back up in the Van and all conversation turned to the matter at hand of capturing Baal.
There it is folks. It's a one shot. Just my thoughts on how the conversation could have played out. It seems that each week, they are giving us a few more hints about Sam and I hope Jack's relationship.
ATD will be back soon I promise….
Please R&R!
