Hey y'all!
Thanks everyone for reviewing... and to the person who emailed me, I'm afraid Jack can't go back and pick up all of her 'pieces'and put her in the sarcophagus. ;-)
Because you were all so nice, I decided to post thissooner that planned.
feb04: LOL! Um, I'll hope this will work for you...

Don't hate me... yet... enjoy this chapter.
Jack covered his head until the wormhole disengaged.
"SERGEANT DIAL IT UP!" he ordered.
"Jack?" Daniel demanded. "JACK! What happened?"
"Walter, do it NOW!"
General Hammond hurried into the gate room. "General O'Neill, what happened?"
"CARTER!" he cried too angry to care that he was yelling at a superior office, "she just blew up the whole damn place!"
"What?" Daniel demanded.
"If what you say is true, then why go back?"
"She could be ALIVE sir."
"AND YOU COULD GET HURT!"
"THEN SEND A M.A.L.P!"
"Jack?" Daniel whispered, "What happened?"
Jack swallowed hard. "She waited until we were gone then she- she dropped a-a grenade."
Hammond stared at him for a moment. "Send a M.A.L.P through."
-
Jack watched as the wormhole stabilized and the M.A.L.P went through.
"It should be there in 3, 2, 1... receiving images."
Daniel stared. The entire area surrounding the area was charred. Various body pieces-
"Shut it down." Hammond ordered. "I'm sorry Jack. There is no way any human could survive that."

She was walking. Walking where?
"Hello."
She spun around. "Oma?" she asked.
"Yes."
She looked around. "Where am I?"
"Here."
She nodded thoughtfully. "Daniel gets a diner, I get a... storage room?"
Oma merely smiled.
"Why am I here?"
"Do you wish enlightenment?"
"You mean ascend?"
Oma inclined her head.
Carter grimaced. "Death or Ascension?"
"Yes."
"Seem's like an easy choice."
"Yes."
"Then why isn't it?"
"We all cling to what we know."
"I don't suppose you have blue jello in Ascended land?"
"No."
Å
Jack quietly sat and allowed the Doctor to examine him, something that worried Daniel. It was very un-JAckish. Very.
"Jack?" he said quietly.
Jack looked up. "Daniel?"
"You wanna... go to the commissary and get a bite to eat?"
Jack considered this. No. Not really... "Ok."
Å
"Samantha, you must pick one of those two."
"I don't suppose you can ascend then 'descend me... can you?"
"No."
She sighed. "I don't know if I'm ready to ascend."
"You wish to die?"
"No!"
"There is no third option Sam. Death or Ascension."
Sam bowed her head.
Å
Jack stared at his pie. "Why did I get this?"
"You always get that."
Jack pushed aside. "I'll be back."
Daniel watched as his friend hurried over to the dessert bar. He returned with blue jello. Daniel swallowed the lump in his throat. "That's nice," he whispered.
Å.
Oma watched her. This was Daniel's friend. For him, she'd help her.
"Ascension. I pick ascension."
Å
Jack scraped his goblet clean. "She's right you know."
"What?"
"It does taste blue."
"She always is," Daniel said fondly. He paused. "Was."
"No Daniel," Jack said softly, "Is."
Å
Sam stood up. "Thank you."
Oma smiled. "Farewell Samantha. We shall see each other again."
Sam nodded and soared away. Oma looked after her wondering how long it would be before she would break the rules and force Oma to descend her. She smiled. If she was anything like Daniel, not very long.
Å
Jack sat on his bed staring at the framed picture of his old team. Daniel and Teal'c had stared at the camera with serious expressions while Sam and him had been cracking up over some stupid joke he had made.
"Why God?" he asked. "Why?"
A gust of cold wind blew around his head. He shivered slightly. Stupid ventilation system...
Å
"Good bye Jack," she whispered. "I'll see you soon."
And with that, she left.
This is NOT the end. Anyways, I hope you liked it and..
PLEASE review!
I was unable to send this to my AWESOME beta WarmTea as my email isn't letting me send emails. (sobs)
