The next day Sam was working on her homework while Jack, Mark and Ann went for a five-mile run. When they return they were all tired so they went and have their showers to freshen up and gotten dress before going into the kitchen to get a drink. Then Jack went to see how Sam is doing. When he walked into the officer Sam was writing, when she finish she look up and smile

"How was your run?"

"Good, how the home work?"

"Getting there"

"Ok, well I'll leave you to it then"

"Ok" he walked out, closing the door behind him.

He went to see what Ann and Mark was doing. That night after dinner they talk for an hour before Mark and Ann left to head back to the base. Jack and Sam went to bed not long after.

The next morning Mr Thomas picked Sam up like he dose every Monday morning and took her back to university. On the way they talk about what they did over the holidays. Sam thanks him after he drops her off then he left like he always dose.

On Tuesday morning at the pentagon there was normal end of month meeting they were finishing up when the chief of staff asked

"Is there any report on Samantha Carter?"

"Yes sir, I got reports yesterday on how well she has done"

"How did she do" the general sat backs and looked around the room

"From the reports, she talent, and one hell of amazing young girl, for starts fire arm training" he sat ford and open the file and had a quick glans at it then he look up

"For a normal air force officer seven point five seconds… Samantha Carter did it in five seconds"

"How many times did she do it for her to do in that time?"

"Once"

"Go on" Every one was shock

"From the colonel report he states that she is the top shooter he has even seen in the twenty years of being in the air force, from the shots that she did with the five different fire arms. She got one hundred percent on all of them and he tested her on sniper shot, from the time she loaded the bullet up to when she fired the gun… three seconds, hitting the bull eye dead center" Every one in the room was shock

"Three seconds that impossible"

"Well she did it and there are five witnesses can testified that she did it in that time"

"What about her flying lessons?"

"According to the colonel report, she a natural, she knew what she is doing and even landed the plane, the colonel states in his report it was a smooth landing"

"Well keep us posted on how well she is doing"

"Yes sir"

"If there is nothing else, this meeting is close"

Then they all stood up as the chief of staff walk out of the room. He goes and gets into his waiting car and goes to the White House and report to the president.

On Friday afternoon Jack went to pick up Sam like he always dose and drive back to his house. They talk about how they week been and planing on what they want to do over the weekend. When they pulled up into Jack driveway there was a car there. When they got out they look over to see the chief of staff getting out of his car

"Sir" Jack stood at attention and saluted which the general did in return

"At easy captain"

"Thank you sir… why are you hear sir"

"I for the papers for Miss Carter and family member to sign"

"Well then come in side where it is warmer sir"

"Thank you"

Jack help Sam take the bags in side and put them in the living room

"Jack can you call Mark please"

"Sure" then he walk out of the room to make the phone call

"Please take a seat"

"Thank you, captain got a lovely home"

"I know I help him pick it out"

"You got good taste"

"Thanks you" they both sat down

"General sir I've been doing a lot of thinking over every thing since the offer and I know I can't join the airforce till I'm seventeen. Well I know that there are airforce cadets who are living on campus for a year to do get their degrees, is there any chance for me to be on that list even though I'm almost thirteen"

"Well to be a cadet you will also have to have other airforce training"

"I know that sir I did a lot of research and I'm doing them now and I'm a civilian" he looked at her and smile

"I'll talk to the president and I'll let you know soon as I know"

"Thank you" then Jack walk in

"Mark will be here in twenty minutes"

"Ok, sir would you like a cup of coffee while waiting?"

"Yes thank you"

"I'll take care of the drinks and my bags, if you will excuse me General"

Sam stood up and she made the bags float in the air and walk out of the room. Jack saw the shock look on the general face as he sat down. The general looked at Jack

"It amazing with what powers she has got"

"We both got them sir" he nodded

"Captain what is your option on what Sam has done so far with her training wise?"

"She knows what she is doing and she is a great shot for one and she really knows how to fly, as for the seminations, you couldn't pick any one better than Sam sir"

"How is she doing in school?"

"Great, strait 'A' all the way"

"How long do you think before she could become a full qualified pilot?"

"Well with what she is doing right now and the hours, I'll say three to four weeks, she knows her stuff sir, ask her pilot trainer next month sir, that would answer your question"

"Ok what about fire arms?"

"The same time, if you want to then your could give her the finial test when you think she is ready for it"

"I'll think about it"

Then Sam walk in with drinks in hand she pass one to the General and the other to Jack before sitting down next to him. They talk till Mark showed up fifteen minutes later. Both Mark and Sam sign the papers and Sam fill out the rest of the paper work.

Once every thing is done, then general shook Sam hand before Jack shows him the door. Once he was in his car, he was gone, Jack return back to the living room to see Mark and Sam talking. He walked in and sat down and listens

"Sam I called mum and dad last night"

"How are they?"

"Good, they told me that they had a great thanks giving and they ask why I haven't showed up for the holiday"

"What did you say?"

"I had other plans and that they already had plans at the time"

"Ok"

"I'm going to see them next weekend" she nodded

"Did they ask about me?"

"No" he said sadly Jack look at Sam and he pulled her into his arms then look at Mark

"I'll leave you two alone, but I'll see you tomorrow in the mall Sam"

"Ok Mark, thanks for coming and signing the papers"

"No worries, I'll see my self out"

He stood up and looked at them before turning and walking out of the living room and out the door couple of minutes later. Jack held on to Sam till she was ready to pull away, when she did, she look up at him

"What am I going to do Jack?"

"For now do what you want to do… reach your goals and make your dream come true"

"I would like that"

"Same here… so what would you like to do?"

"Well how about dinner and a movie"

"Sounds like a plan to me" he gives her a kiss before they both stood up and left to go into town.

They went to a restaurant close to the movie theatre. Then they went to see a movie, then return home when it was finish.

On Saturday afternoon Sam, Jack, Mark and Ann went to Peterson air force base for Sam flight training. They all watch and listen to what being said between Sam and the pilot.

They heard that the pilot was letting Sam take off for the first time so they all watch and smile when she did a perfect take off, then he wanted her to do a few things that she did do.

"Sam that is great well done"

"Thanks, so what next"

"Target practice"

"Ok what the target"

He gave her instruction on what the targets and she went in and destroys the targets, then they all heard

"Congratulation Sam you got them all"

"Cool, so what next"

Sam spent four hours flying then return landing the plane. When she and the pilot got out Sam was smiling when she walk over to where Jack and the other were

"How did it go sir?" jack asked

"It went great, next week we will do one more then three weeks off for the Christmas holiday and then we will be right back into it again, how that sound"

"Sounds good to me"

"Ok same time, next week"

"Yes sir" then he walked away. Jack gave Sam a hug

"Sam I'm prod of you"

"Thanks Jack"

"Sam you going to be one hell of a pilot"

"Thanks Mark, we better get going for the fire arms lessons"

"Ok"

They walk over to their cars and got in then they went to the firing range where Sam did her firing practice and dismantling a fire arm and putting it back together.

When it was night time Sam did some more shooting with night vision goggles that she shot all her targets Jack and the others waited for Sam and her instructor to return. When they did, Sam was grinning

"How did it go?"

"She pass, she got the whole lot including the sniper target" Jack smile

"Well done Sam, how are you feeling?"

"Good" he nodded

"See you next week Sam"

"I'll be here with my supporters"

"I'm sure you will, night"

"Night sir" Jack said.

Then they walk back to the cars and got in then they drive back to Jack place where they had some dinner and play poker for the next few hours before turning in for the night.

The next day Sam did her homework while the others talk for few hours before Mark and Ann left to head back to the base to get some work done. Jack did some work out side for the rest of the day then got some dinner on for him and Sam.

Then next morning it was starting to snow when Mr Thomas showed up to pick Sam up. She gave Jack hug and kiss before leaving to head to Denver. Sam study hard that week, she was lucky to buy some winter clothes since it been getting cold few days before it snow.

On Friday Sam had three tests that day. She whiz through them with no problems and afterwards she spoke to the ones she was helping out to find out that they manage to answer most of the questions and knew that they will have to wait for the results to return.

When she walk back to the dorm after her last class of the day, she smile when she saw Jack jeep there. When she walk inside her dorm, she walk up to her room and unlock her door and open it. She smiles at the sight before her.

Lying on her bed was Jack, he was sleeping, so she walk in and close and lock her door. Then she put her bag down and walked over to the bed and bends over and gave him a kiss. When she pulled back she was looking into his brown eyes.

"How long have you been waiting for me?" he looked over at her clock and back to her

"An hour, how has your week been?" she sat down on the bed

"Busy, had three tests today"

"Ok how did you do?"

"Great, so how things at work?"

"Good, we finish on the eighteenth for three weeks but still on call for any missions"

"Ok well we finish here at the same time then for three weeks"

"So just one more week of work and study then three weeks off cool"

"Yeah so any plans for New Year?"

"I was thinking of us up to my cabin for new years, what do you think?"

"Sounds good to me"

"Cool so shall we get out of here"

"Sure" they both got up and Sam pick up her things then they left.
