The next day, the court case was due, so all eight of the jury as well the judge had signed the secrecy form cause of the Stargate program. Harm walked into the infirmary and over to where Jack and Sam were.

"Morning" Harm said

"Morning commander"

"Sam's still sleeping?"

"Yes, she has been since yesterday"

"You care about her?" Harm asked

"Yes I do, like I do for the rest of my team"

"This is off the record, this visit"

"Oh, then yes, I love her; it is hard for the both of us, I know she loves me to"

"How do you know?"

"Last year, when we were tested by the tok'ra device, we had to tell the truth, we had no choice"

"Ok, so what are you going to do about these feeling you have for her?"

"Well I've been offered a CO job off world, since I won't be able to do much travelling now due to my back injury"

"I know all about that, Dr Fraser told Mac and me about what she did for you. I still can't believe it myself. All Sam talked about when we were in high school was going into space, being in the NASA program, now she's done that and much more!"

"What was Sam like in high school?" Jack wondered

"Sam was a tom boy, two years ahead of her classes, straight A student. In her spare time she'd either got her head in a book, or was working on something or helping tutor other students. She was well known in high school. When we had our prom, she had a date with a guy from our maths class, who turned out to set her up. When I overheard Trevor Jones talking to his buddies about setting Sam up, I was angry and told Sam about it. Boy was she pissed off, but she got her revenge"

"What happened?"

"She showed up at the prom; everyone was shocked to see her there, there was bets going on whether she would show up or not, she did. Trevor and his date Tina Ryan were talking to his mates over by the punch bowl. Sam was so angry, she lifted the punch bowl up and poured it over his head, even Tina and some of his mates got covered in red punch, and the icing on the cake is; they were all wearing white suits!" Jack laughed out loud

"What happened to Sam?"

"Well the teachers knew what Trevor did to Sam, so they just let it lie; though he got what he deserved. So just before she left, I grabbed her hand, grabbed my date, and pulled them both over to get our pictures done; there was one of Sam and me, and the second one was the three of us. But she wasn't home for long before Mrs Smith brought her back; after all it was her prom too, so when she returned, everyone clapped and cheered her for what she did."

"Wow, so what happened to this Trevor guy and his pals?"

"They had to go home, everyone from the prom didn't like them; they were so full of themselves, if you get my meaning"

"Yeah, I get the picture"

"Sam was voted prom queen that night; everyone knew she deserved it, and not just because of what she did that night, but because of who she was. She did something that the rest of us were afraid to do, but even if she didn't do it, she would still have been voted prom queen"

"Well it seems that she hasn't changed much by the sounds of it?"

"She has, she still helping others; there wouldn't be another Major Doctor Samantha Carter in the world that does what she does"

"True, she's always thinking, or working on one of her doohickies, or solving one problem or another"

"Yeah, she's good for that, sounds like she hasn't change at all actually!"

"No, she just gotten wiser over time"

"That she has; she has been through so much by the sounds of things, and I hope everything will work out for you both"

"Thanks" then they heard Sam moving about.

"She's waking up" Jack said just as Sam opened her eyes.

"Hey, morning" Harm said.

"Morning Sam" Jack smiled

"Jack?"

"Yeah I'm here, you slept since yesterday"

"Did I? Wow, morning!"

"How are you feeling?" Jack asked

"Groggy, but that will pass, what time is it?"

"Time for me to go; the court case starts in twenty minutes. Talk to you two later" Harm said on the way to the door
