Here's another chapter. Sorry if they seem short, blame the voices that talk to me.
I own nothing recognizable
When people find one thing beautiful, another consequently becomes ugly
When one man is held up as good,another is judged deficient.
The wise person acts without effort and teaches by quiet example.
He accepts things as they come, creates without possessing, nourishes without demanding, accomplishes without taking credit.
Because he constantly forgets himself, he is never forgotten.

Sam walked through the snow, able to ignore the chilling wind. She barely even looked over when Jack fell instep beside her, his arms folded across his chest to keep in warmth. "Cold?" Sam asked.
"Little chilly, but this is nothing like Antarctica," he said.
Sam smiled a little. "Don't remind me," she returned. "Daniel told me a week ago what all was happening on Earth."
"Yeah, life on Earth is beginning to suck. I think he and Teal'c might stay here."
"Teal'c I can understand if they want to experiment on him, but why Daniel?" Sam asked, confusion on her face.
"Hasn't really been all there since you left. He'd spend his free time trying to figure out where you could possibly be. That boy even got a hold of the Asgard and asked them if they could keep an eye out for you. I think he likes you."
Sam folded her arms, her hands going into the sleeves as they walked. "Why hasn't he said anything then?"
"Come on, you know Daniel. He's afraid that you'll reject him or something bad will happen to you. I mean, Sha're did become a Goa'uld then die later. And I think before you left he was about to confess how he felt about you and then you're suddenly gone," Jack said.
"And you know all this how?" Sam asked, looking at him sideways.
"He told me," Jack admitted.
"What about you?"
"As soon as I get back to Earth I'm gonna go look for Janet and Cassie. Never realize how much you miss a person until they're gone," Jack said.
"So that's why you two always bickered," Sam smirked.
"Yeah well, I can't go looking for them as long as Maybourne is out and about."
"Then why not join us to stop him then?"
"I don't know Carter. As much as I hate to admit it, he still is my CO."
"You really think Maybourne is fit to command troops? He's an idiot every day of the week," Sam said. "Just think on it. You got all winter to do so." Jack nodded and they headed inside to go eat.
Yeah, I know. Very short chapter. I apologize. The next one should be a bit longer, but we'll have to wait and see 'cuz I gots the exams this week. So blame the shortness on that.
