Dear Jack,

Thank you for the 'memos.' Since I am not as sentimental or quirky as you, I went the traditional route, and sent you this letter. I don't really know what to say and I don't know where to go from here, but I just want you to know that I love you too. Although, we can't establish a relationship because our country comes first, heck, even the galaxy. I'm completely irrational when it comes to you; you drive me crazy. Well, I should go. I need to work on some naquadah generators. I hope you are doing well in Washington. Don't work too hard.:)

Love, Sam.

Sam finished emailing Jack, closed her laptop, and sighed. It seemed like no matter which reality she was in, they could never be together, no happy endings. All the people she ever loved died…Martouf, her parents…and now, the only person she could ever give the remaining pieces of her heart was out of reach. Sam sat there in reverie when a knock snapped her out it; it was Daniel and Teal'c.

"Hey Sam." Daniel initiated.

"Colonel Carter." Teal'c bowed.

"Hey guys, what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, Sam. We just wanted to drop by and see you were doing."

"Oh, well I was just finishing up on my mission report. If you want to wait a few minutes, I can drop this off at the general's office on the way to the commissary, and we could have lunch together?"

"That is an excellent idea, Colonel Carter. I think we shall join you." Teal'c replied with a small smile.

And so the midday ended with a nice blue Jell-O, coffee, and grapes snack. After lunch, Sam decided to go home, because she had requested some time off after the reality switch,plus they didn't need her at the base at the moment.

On the way home, she actually took the time to notice her surrounding neighborhoods, and recognized the beauty and familiarity of it all. It reminded her of what she was fighting for all along.

She got out of the car after a relaxing drive home. She entered the house and slumped down on the surface of the door. This was the same place where the other Jack and Daniel had 'kidnapped' her, and it was a total shock all of that had happened in the past week.

From that day on, Sam would never look at a mirror the same way again. After encountering the quantum mirror the first time, she never really did have time to look at mirrors just for the heck of it, but its true purpose was now clear to her; the reflection is not only who you see yourself as, but who you might become. And even though she would be looking at her reflection alone, sometimes she could see where life would take her, and today was only the beginning.
