Previously on Stargate SG-1...

"The End."

Everyone stared. "That's it?" Daniel asked. "Sam didn't dial… Edora or something?"

"That's it Daniel."

Paul stood up. "Thank you for letting me stay General. Major Carter, Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c, I'm glad you're safe. Daniel Jackson, I'm glad you are feeling better and farewell!"

With that, the Major hurried out of the room.

Daniel looked decidedly disgruntled. "I can't believe this. That was a sucky ending," he said siding up to Jack.

"Daniel!" Jack said exasperated "You're making it sound like we are making this up!"

"Didn't you?"

Now... the continuation!

"What?"

Daniel watched him carefully. "You make that all up didn't you?"

"Jack!"

He looked up "Yeah?"

Jacob gestured to him "I want to talk to you"

Jack escaped Daniel's clutches and went closer to him. "Yeah?"

"What's going on with you and Sam?"

Jack looked around wildly "Uhh, I think Teal'c needs me-"

"Jack, I'm totally ok with this, but as her father, I really think you should have spoken to me first-"

"What?" Jack demanded completely befuddled.

Jacob laughed. "Go for it... and now, farewell, I have to skeedaddle!"

Jack stood with his jaw wide open.

"O'Neill, if you continue to leave a certain part of your anatomy hanging down, a flying insect may-"

"Fly" Jack corrected "and... Will you excuse me?"

Teal'c allowed Jack to pass as a small smile crept across his face.

-----

Sam was engrossed the Replicator block she had been forced to leave to debrief when her dad hurried in.

"Hey Sam, I have to go"

She looked up guiltily. She had been so eager to return to the block she had forgotten all about him.

"Already?"

"Yeah"

She stood up, "Good to see you again Dad"

"Walk me to the gate room?"

She nodded and arm in arm they meandered to the gate room.

-----

"Bye Sam"

"Au revoir, mon general." Jack called as Jacob stepped through.

"I am unfamiliar with that term, O'Neill."

"Au revoir? It's French. It means ciao. Ciao means adios. Auf- wait... didn't we already go through this when Urgo was 'with' us?"

"You never finished it O'Neill"

"Oh, ok. Auf wiedersehen. Sayonara. Which all, very loosely translated, means…" he stopped. "Shoot. There is a rip in my jacket!"

'What does it mean O'Neill?"

Jack looked up "Goodbye"

The Jaffa looked exasperated "Then why do you not just say good bye?"

"Because Teal'c, we have many different cultures on our planet so there are many ways to say good-bye"

"I have noticed."

"So..." Jack began when Daniel hurried in.

"Jack-" he began.

"Not now Daniel" Jack said pushing past him. "My bed calls"

Carter stopped mid-sentence and turned slightly towards Jack.

"So, 'night everybody and... Ciao!"

Carter automatically finished her statement while her mind drifted back to one very special night in Jack's tent. He had said the exact same words. "Does it mean anything?"

"I beg your pardon?" Janet asked looking up "I didn't-"

"Nothing" Sam assured her "Umm, I think I'll hit the hay... catch you later Janet"

Janet looked at her watch and frowned. It was 6:00, nowhere near bedtime

Jack threw the ball and caught it. 107, 108, 109, 110. The little rubber hit the wall, bounced across room and into the hand of one Samantha Carter.

"Hey sir" she said rather nervously. "Your ball"

He caught it automatically. "Thanks"

"What are for friends for?"

Jack stood up. "We need to talk"

She nodded.

He patted the end of his bed and she obediently sat down.

"So?" she asked.

"I never told you to take it easy did I?"

She paused "What?"

"MAJOR CARTER!" he whined "That is insubordination!"

"You told me to take it easy!" she called

"Did not"

"Did too!"

"When we were climbing up the stairs to enter the house," he explained.

She thought for a second then shook her head.

"I knew it"

A knock on the door made them both freeze for a second. Another knock was heard. Carter quietly rolled under the bed while Jack went to answer the door.

Under the bed, Carter watched as boots, tennis shoes and high heels entered.

"Doc, Daniel, Teal'c. What do you need?"

"To talk" Daniel said while Janet continued with "about Sam"

"Umm, this really isn't a good time..." Jack began nervously.

"On the contrary, I believe it the perfect time" Teal'c said, his expression blank.

"Yeah, we were going to do this later" Daniel said "But Teal'c insisted this would be a great time"

Jack gave Teal'c a pleading glance. If he knew Sam was in here, he could make this a real-

"Do you love Sam?"

Under the bed, Sam blushed. Janet!

"Uhh, guys, this is NOT a good time, come back tomorrow around 800, I'll-"

"Are you concealing something O'Neill?" Teal'c asked 'innocently'.

Sam froze.

Jack shifted his weight "No, no, not at all"

Sam rolled her eyes and looked around for something to do. A piece of paper caught her attention. She pulled it. A flood of pictures followed.

Daniel cocked his head "You hear that guys?" he asked.

Janet shook her head "I didn't hear anything"

Teal'c shook his head as Daniel looked at him questioningly.

"Oh, ok, anyways, Jack-"

Under the bed, she breathed a sigh of relief. Ignoring the paper, she flipped through the pictures and nearly gasped. There were fun ones with her in a clown outfit, one of her and Teal'c making snow angels, one of her in her swimsuit that she was obviously not aware was being taken, and some not from the planet. One was taken of her on his roof one night after they had killed Apophis (the first time that is), one showed her and Daniel fighting over the last cup of coffee in the commissary... there were dozens of pictures and all had one Samantha Carter in it. She got to the last one and froze. It was her and Jack, together, she was in a wedding dress.. What the heck? She flipped it over.

You keep it. Maybe you and YOUR Samantha will get together in this reality.
Thank you for everything.
The 'other'Sam.

She turned it over and noticed the long hair. A wave of sadness swept over her. They looked so happy! It wasn't fair! She had-

"Daniel, Janet, Teal'c. Leave. Now."

Sam stifled a giggle. How awkward poor Jack must be feeling. She put the pictures back under the bed and was about to put the paper back when the word 'personal' caught her eye. Her eyes widened.

-

Jack was in agony. He had heard the pictures fall and knew she'd look through them. He tried to focus his attention on the three intruders. When he heard a slight gasp he knew Sam had found the picture or… His eyes widened. Or his resignation form!

Carter stuffed the form under the bed and silently willed the guests to leave.

Teal'c had heard the gasp as well. "It is time for us to depart Daniel Jackson" he said evenly. "We shall continue this conversation later."

"But Teal'c-" Daniel began when Teal'c opened the door and pushed him out. Janet gave Jack a puzzled glance and hurried after him. Teal'c leaned closer to Jack.

"Do not be a fool O'Neill" and with that he left.

Jack shut the door and sighed. He turned around to see his 2IC on the bed.

"So sir. Anything you would like to tell me?" she asked casually.

No

"I can explain…" he began. "See-"

"Jack."

He sighed. "Samantha…" he half whined.

"Yes?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Can we… go get…"

"Get what?"

He ran his hand through his hair. "Will you…" he stopped again. "Oh for cryin' out loud, Samantha Carter, will you go with me to O'Malley's?"

She grinned. "I'd love too."

-----

As Carter took her second bite of steak she sighed with pleasure. "Thank you sir"

"Anytime" he stopped playing with his soda. "So, what's the REAL story behind Zip-a-dee-do-dah?"

She froze. "Who says there is one?" she asked finally.

"No one"

She groaned. "There was a talent contest at Disney World. I entered and sang that. If you go there, my portrait still hangs in the hall.

He laughed. "Go Sam"

She rolled her eyes "So sir… you're retiring?"

THE END!

This was such a fun story to write and...

APRIL FOOLS!

Sorry, this is NOT THE END!

Couldn't resist... it was my friends idea! Muhahaha!

Didja like it? Nice long chap next time...
