CHAPTER 9

Jack and Sam had been working in the kitchen for a time, when Mark came in.

"Sam can I use your computer" Mark asked

"Yea sure"

Mark started to boot up the computer.

"Ah Sam I need a password to get in."

Sam went over and put in her password, making sure that Mark wasn't looking.

"Thanks Sam"

Then she went back to the kitchen to see what Jack was up to. Once the first Pavlova was done, they cleaned up the mess, than started to make another one. By the time they finished getting the second one done, both Mark & Kath had gone to bed. Sam went over to her computer to check her e-mails when her friend from New Zealand popped up to say hi.

'Hi Sam, I haven't seen you on here in the past few days, I hope every thing is ok over there' Annie wrote.

"Hey, Jack come here, Annie is on line"

So Jack went over to see what Annie wrote.

'Hi Annie, how's it going? You are up late, what is it, 2am down there?' Sammie says.

' Yea, I thought I should be up just in case you need to ask me something about the Pav's since it is Thanksgiving tomorrow, your time' Annie says

'Well you are right, it is 2am here' Annie says.

'Ok thanks, I've got the first one in the oven now' Sammie says

'Ok, what colour is it' Annie says

'Blue, my CO accidentally put half a bottle in to the mixture' Sammie says

'LOL' Annie says

'How big is the batch?' Annie says

'Six times' Sammie said

'Woo, are you feeding the whole base' Annie says

'Well, I know a few people who have a sweet tooth' Sammie says

"Hey Sam, what dose L.O.L mean"

"It means Laughing Out Loud"

"Oh ok" He said watching them talk on the net.

'Hey Sam, don't forget the little one for Jack' Annie says

'I won't. That will be the next pav we will be making' Sammie says

'Ok, what colour is it going to be this time' Annie says

'I am going to make it pink this time' Sammie says

'Ok, so long as you put the food colouring in this time. I'm sure you don't want a red one' Annie says

'Ok I' will do that Annie' Sammie says

' Hey, Sam is he there with you right now?' Annie says

' Yes, he is watching us now' Sammie says

"Would you like for me to go home Sam and let you two talk" Jack said.

"Would you like to say hi to her first"?

"Yea, ok"

'Hey Annie would you like to talk to him' Sammie said

'Yea ok' Annie Says

Sam got up from her chair and Jack sat down and started typing.

'Hi Annie' Sammie says

'Hi, am I talking to Colonel Jack O'Neill' Annie says

'Yes you are' Sammie says

'Ok, what should I call you then, Colonel or Jack' Annie says

'You can call me Jack' Sammie says

'Ok, Hi Jack, or I thought you shouldn't say that on a plane' Annie says

'Very funny Annie' Sammie says

'Look Jack I better get to bed, got to get up at 5am for milking' Annie says

'Ok then, it was nice to meet you although I don't know what you look like. Sammie says

'Sam has some pictures of me; my husband sent one to her last week. I was in my blue overalls and gumboots, I had just finished the afternoon milk, and my charming husband took the picture of me, when I had a green head. One of the cows hit the jackpot, my head. Any way It was nice to talk to you too, Jack' Annie Says

'So your hair was green then, I'll have to ask Sam to show me the picture some time' Sammie says

'Ok, you will get a laugh from it, anyway Jack, look after Sam will you, she has been telling me a lot about you. Well, I think she has got the hots for you. I have seen it from the pictures she has mailed me, from what I have seen in the pictures, the way you two look at each other, I think you are in love with her. I know about the rules and regulations. Don't be angry with her for telling me, ok. I know how to keep a secret, especially this one because I do know what will happen if your CO finds out.' Annie says

'Thanks for telling me Annie, since you have known Sam for a long time and you are over seas and not here, well you are right, I am in love with her, I have been for a long time' Sammie says

'That's good that you have feelings for her also. Ok, before I sign off, tell her how you really feel about her, when you talk to her, speak to her from your heart, ok. Say good night to Sam for me, will ya? & good luck, both of you' Annie says.

Then Annie signed off.
