A/N: Hey I'm back. Sorry it's been so long. Well, this is something I wrote in the middle of English Class (I know, I'm bad!), and it may be a little short, but it's very fluffy and sweet. Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Under the Stars

Walking home under the stars, Jack didn't remember anything about the movie that he'd taken Sam to see. All that he knew was the girl walking beside him. The golden hair, blue eyes, and the smartest person he'd ever met. They had talked about their plans for the future, and learned that she wanted to go to the Air Force Academy.

"I want to go to the stars." Sam had told Jack. She looked at Jack who was walking beside her, his eyes twinkling. She couldn't explain the connection between them, but she felt at ease, with his precence beside her. "That's what I've always wanted, and the Air Force Academy will get me there. What about you? Where are you going after high school?"

"I'm not sure, my parents are both military. My mom's Navy, and my dad's Air Force. Their stationed oversees, that's why I'm living with my uncle. According to my teachers my Math and Science grades are good enough for the Air Force Academy, and my dad's pushing for it, but I don't know." Jack said sighing, looking very serious, but then his eyes changed looking at her, "But our senior year hasn't even started. I have plenty of time to worry about the future. Right now, this moment. It's perfect.," They were both silent for a moment, but Jack interupted the silence with, "Here you are," when they had reached Sam's front door, "do you want me to show you around on Monday?"

"Sounds great," Sam almost whispered. Jack leaned down, and their lips connected and the world disapeared around them, as Sam slipped her hands around Jack's neck, and Jack pulled Sam closer to him. The kiss seemed to go on forever, but finally, Jack, not wanting to either scare Sam away or anger Sam's mom, broke off the kiss, and stepped back, smiling.

"I'll pick you up at 7:30 monday morning?"

"I'll be here." Sam said, still recovering from the amazingly passionate kiss that they had just shared. Jack watched as Sam walked into the house, smiling. Some guys would have pressured her, tried to get her in bed. But not him. He didn't know what it was, but he felt something about her, like she was his everything and forever, as long as he didn't do anything to screw it up.

Sam leaned against the closed door breathing heavily. She smiled at herself, never had she ever felt anything remotly like that before, and it was breathtaking. Then the living room light came on. It was her mother. She had waited up for her, "Have fun?"

"Yes. And don't worry mom, he was a perfect gentleman. We walked to the theater, he showed me a little of the town, we watched the movie and then he walked me home."

"What about that kiss?"

"I can't believe you were spying on us!" Sam said, not shocked at all. She had expected the audience of her mother. "Oh, well, I hope you enjoyed the show!" With that she walked upstairs. She knew her mother, she wasn't mad. Their tight nit relationship was one of teasing and love. Sam went upstairs and laid on her bed, dreaming of the amazing man who had walked into her life, dreaming of a future that she hadn't consitered two days before.

"All right Colonel, I'm relieasing you from my infermery, however, I want you to take a week, possibly two, and relax. I don't want you driving either. I'm sure Major Carter or Daniel could drive you home." Jack would have jumped up and danced, if he wasn't in danger of falling over.

"Thanks Doc." Just then Sam walked in, obviously checking on her CO. "Hey, Carter, mind if I bumb a ride off you?"

Sam smiled, close to giggling. Jack looked like he was close to begging. She could tell that he would do anything to get out of the infermery, and she had just heard Janet's compromise. "I'd love to sir. Give me a few minutes to get ready to go, and then I'll take you home. Janet, does he need any looking after?"

"Not constant survailance, no, but you might want to check his fridge and cupboard, make sure he actually has food in his kitchen, and check on him once a day, make sure he hasn't fallen down a flight of stairs or anything."

"Hey!" Jack said, acting more insulted than he actually was. He didn't have any food in his house, and he knew it. Sam and Janet just smiled at Colonel O'Neill. Janet was just letting him go, because he was a nucense and he could as easily recover at home as in her infermey.

"Oh, and you should pick up his pain meds, which he only should take if the pain is too bad. Otherwise just take tylonol. It's just a few brused ribs after all." With no further ado, Sam got her stuff together and totted one crabby colonel to her car, and they were off.

TBC...

A/N: Hope you liked it. I fugured in whatever they went through, Jack wouldn't go down without a fight, and therefore has more complicated injuries, plus I love to write a crabby Jack, it's so much fun. Hope you enjoyed, show me, and REVIEW!
