Oh whew. Only a few people still hate me. Thanks for reviewing!

Happy Halloween y'all!
A funeral was held two days later. Jack stood dry eyed as an empty coffin was lowered into a grave. He turned to leave but encountered a man.
"You Colonel O'Neill?"
"General now. You are?"
"Mark Carter."
Jack pulled off his sunglasses. "I'm sorry about your sister."
He nodded. "Someone said that-that you were there when she died... I uh-"
"She went quickly." Jack said quietly, "I'm sure it was painless."
"Sam was a trained solider. How on Earth did she manage to blow herself up?"
"Accidents happen."
Mark gave a small shrug. "Maybe."
"Listen, you need a place to stay for the night?"
Mark shook his head. "We're leaving right after this."
Jack gave him a small smile. "I knew your sister really well. She is a really special woman."
Mark tilted his head. "Is?"
Jack paused. "Was."
Mark nodded. "It was nice meeting you General."
"Jack."
Mark smiled. "Jack."
Å
Carter watched people slowly left 'her' wake. It was... WEIRD watching everyone mourning the fact that you were dead. No one had thought of Ascension.
She sighed and 'flew' away.
Å
Jack slowly resumed his job as Commander of the SGC. All he really wanted to do was retire but as of yet, they had found no suitable replacement for him.
Yippee.
"SG-12 you have a go."
Colonel Jacobs nodded and hurried through. Jack sighed. Fishing. He wanted to go fishing.
Å
Keith Jacobs hadn't expected anything spectacular to happen. Just to go and fetch the device. That's it.
He was not expecting to encounter a nude body.
Å
Jack quickly shrugged on his leather jacket and hurried for the elevator. If he could get in it in time, he was safe-
"UNSCHEDULED OFF WORLD ACTIVATION!"
Å
"Hand me a blanket Major." Keith ordered.
The Major rumbled through her pack for one. "Here sir."
He slowly covered the form. "I wonder who-" he stopped, a shocked expression on his face.
"Baker, Tibs, get back to the gate NOW and get General O'Neill!"
Å
Jacke sighed and pushed open the elevator doors. This had better be important. He almost ran to the control room.
"What is it Walter?"
"It's SG-12."
"What happened?" he demanded.
"I don't know sir."
The iris opened revealing two of the members of SG-1.
"Captain? What is it?"
"We found her."
"Found whom?" Jack asked curiously. As far as he knew, they weren't missing anybody.
Major Baker gulped. "Samantha Carter. Sir."
Å
"Chevron 6 encoded!"
Jack and Teal'c looked at each other, both hoping thatthe Colonel wasn't wrong and both sure he was. How the hell could anyone survive being blown up?
Daniel had joined the archeological team on 945-2E2. Something about keeping his mind off of 'it'. Jack left a message for him there.
"Chevron seven... LOCKED!"
"Walter, keep the lights on 'tilI get back!" Jack called barely waiting for a response as he jogged through. Teal'c gave the technician a smile and followed O'Neill through.
After being demolecularised then rematerialized on the other side, Jack set off at a brisk pace, soon followed by Teal'c and the two members of SG-12.
Å
Keith Jacobs didn't know what he should do. She was obviously cold but should he dress her or...
"Jacobs!"
His head shot up. "General O'Neill sir!"
Jack got closer. "What happened?"
"We were just walking towards the town and... We found her."
Jack took in her unclothed body that was semihidden bythe blanket. "Uh, Teal'c, should we get the Doc or..."
Teal'c settled it by carefully picking her up and adjusting the blanket around her. "We must get back quickly O'Neill."
Å
They made quite a stir coming back through the 'gate. Doctor Carmichael shooed them all out and refused to let them come back in until she was dressed. She still hadn't waken up.
"But she IS alive, isn't she?" Jack asked.
"Yes, but we have no way of knowing how long she was out there. She could have been out there for days, but…" he trailed off. "Right now she needs to get warm."
"I saw her get blown up!" Jack protested. "I watched her drop the grenade and-"
"Maybe the Asgard transported her aboard." Teal'c suggested.
"And returned her to a planet nude? Only one person I know does that and that is…"
They looked at each other. "Oma."
Å
"OFF WORLD ACTIVATION!"
Teal'c looked at his friend who was half asleep. "I believe Daniel Jackson is here."
"Good." He mumbled.
Teal'c silently rose and hurried to the embarkation room as Daniel hurried through.
"Teal'c!" he cried, "What happened?"
"We have found Colonel Carter."
"Where? How? When? Who found her?"
"On the planet designated PRR-736. SG-12 discovered her on their way to the village approximately two hours ago."
"Is she ok?"
"Dr. Carmichael believes so."
"She isn't awake? Hasn't said anything?"
"No."
"I thought she was blown up."
"As did I."
"So how…?"
"O'Neill and I believe she was ascended."
Daniel's eyes widened. "Ascended?"
"Yes."
"Oh. Wow."
"They found her uncloth-"
"Thanks Teal'c," Daniel said hastily, "Um, I'm going to the infirmary, you wanna come?"
Teal'c stared him.
"Ok, silly question."
Å
What a headache. Something was wrong, a headache? 'Ascendee's' didn't have headaches!
Someone was calling her. Wasn't there a silly cliche for that? One hears what one wants? It sounded like Jack... Impossible.
"Sam!"
Who was that?
"Carter? Doc, her eyes are opening!"
No they weren't... this was a dream...
She forced her eyes opened. "Jack?" she whispered.
Muhahaha... Hmm...
Well, hope you liked it...
And... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
