They walk over to where the bull riding is for young and old. There was the mechanical bull for young ones and for the adults. They all watch them ride and riders falling off before the thirty seconds are up.
"That looks like fun" Sam said Jack look at her
"You want to have a go?" Sam looked at him and smile
"Please"
"Ok" they walked around to where Jack could pay for Sam.
Then she had to wait till it was her turn. When it was, Jack watched her move around like a pro. They speed it up to the max for the last ten seconds till time was up then it stops. She got off with a smile on her face
"That was fun"
"Was it?"
"Yep" they walk away to look for a drink stand.
When they got a drink each they walked around looking at what else they got there. Hours later they both went to the rest rooms to relievethemselves then they carried on walking around; they saw helicopter rides and even air balloon rides.
Two hours later they heard screaming and they looked up to see the hot air balloon getting higher and higher so they walked over when they heard from the radio from the guy on the ground, he tried to calm a man down. Sam walked over and listens

"There man who controlling the balloon has collapsed, I'm going to get the balloon down, now move it there are people up there"
"Your nuts girl"
"I know" then they took off.
Everyonewatched what was happening, even the TV news crew showed up. When they got to the balloon Sam told the pilot where to go. When he is above the balloon, Sam picks up a pair of gloves and putsthem on. Then she opened the door and stepped on the rail then she jumped and landed on top of the balloon.
Then she undid her belt to her jeans and put a rope through then did it up again then she abseil over the side till she got into the basket and undid her belt again
"Are you guys ok?"
"He not he having problems breathing" Sam look at him
"Try to relax, ok, are you an asthmatic?" He shook his head for no
"Ok, just remain calm, ok" he nodded then she checked on the other guy, she could tell he was already dead. She stood up and looked to see if the firing chamber was locked on full.
"We don't know how to turn it off?"
"Where the radio" the guy pass it to her

"How do you know these things?"
"I'm a trainer paramedic and full qualified first aid instructor"

"A lot of people think I am"
"What is your name?"
"Samantha Carter"
"You're not from around here?"
"Nope Colorado, I'm just here visiting family for the holiday with other family members"
"Ok, why are you wearing that ring on that finger for?" he pointed to Sam left hand
"That is my engagement ring and yes I am engaged, my fiancee is also here for the holidays. We don't see much of each other cause of his work and my studies"
"Ok"
"You can stand up now and take a look" they stood up and look to where they are
"Wow great view"
"Yes it is" they could see where they were going. Sam tries the radio again
"Can you hear me?"
"Yes you made it in the balloon?"
"Yep and we are coming back down"
"How Brian?" Sam looks down at the guy
"Sorry, he didn't make it"
"Thanks, there a guy here who want to talk to you"
"Ok"
"Sam are you ok?"
"Yes Jack we will be touching down soon"
"You crazy you know that"
"Yes but you love me still?" she said smiling

"Ok see you on the ground"
"Ok, how is the view?"
"Great, we will there soon"
"I know you going to make the evening news"
"That's nice. see you soon Carter out" then she hooks it up to the rope.
When they got close to the ground they ran out of gas. They could see the TV crew there with their cameras. And the cops were holding them back. When theytouched the ground, the three men got out just as the paramedics showed up.
"Have this gentlemen check out, he had a mild asthma attack while up there"
"Come with me sir," the women said he followed her
"This gentlemen didn't make it, he had a heart attack"
"Ok" Sam got out of the basket and step back and watch them lift the guy out
"Sam" she turned around and smiled. Jack said something to the cop and he let him through. He ran over to her and they both hugged.
"Are you ok?"
"Yes Jack I'm fine" they both hug and kiss just as everyoneclaps and cheers them on.
They turn to every one who is there and Sam puts her head onto his chest while smiling. Then they walk over to their family. They all hugged her while the media was still recording. Then the media tried to get her attention, so she turned to them as they yelled out questions to her.
"Please one question at a time" Sam said
"What is your name?" one asked
"Samantha Carter"
"Are you related to General Jacob Carter of fort worth air force base?" another asked
"Yes… yes he is, he… he my father"
"Sir what is your name and are you family?"
"I'm Jack O'Neill and as for family one day, I'm her fiance and we are having a long engagement"
There was one question after another that Sam was able to answer before she and Jack said their goodbyes and walked away over to their family.
Jacob and Elizabeth were at home when their phone rings, so Elizabeth answered it
"Hello"
"Elizabeth turn TV on to four, there breaking news and I saw Mark and Sam on the news"
"Thanks" she hung up and walked over and turned the TV on and turned it to TV4 and sat down listening to the breaking news.
While she was watching it not knowing that Jacob walked into the room, he stopped when they showed Sam getting into the helicopter and taking off. Then they saw Sam jump out of the helicopter and what she did then it showed the balloon landing and what happened over the next few minutes.
Then there was the question, which Sam answered them. Jacob looked at his daughter, seeing how happy she is and how much she has grown up and how much he misses out on. He was shocked when he saw Jack and Sam hugging and kissingin front of the media and finding out that they are engaged.
He saw the whole thing, seeing Mark and a young woman with him which he thinks isAnn, his future daughter in law, his brother and sister in law giving Sam a hug. He could see how happy she was, and then he turned and walked out of the room.
Everything from the show grounds returned back to normal and the media left half an hour after Jack and Sam spoke to them. Jack and Sam talk to the rest of the family who was there for an hour before Sam left to go to the ladies rooms.
When she returns, they talk for another ten minutes before going their separate ways. Jack and Sam went and got a drink each then they walked over to a bench and sat down to talk while having their drinks for a while then they both got up and walked around some more.
They shared candyfloss, hot dogs and popping corn. They enjoyed themselves the whole day. When it was getting dark, they worked their way over to the fountain to where they were meeting the others. They both were hugging and kissing till they heard
"Don't you two get enough" they turn and smile
"No do you Mark?" Sam asked
"Yes" Sam rolled her eyes.
They talked for five minutes when the others showed up. They all walk over to a spot where they all can watch the fireworks. When it started Jack and Sam were hugging while watching the display till the end. When it was all over people started to leave. Sam was still looking up at the sky seeing the stars
"Sam what are you looking at?"
"The sky, one day I'll be out there"
"I know" then Sam saw a shooting star
"Hey a shooting star"
"Make a wish" Sam close her eyes and made a wish then she open them then she turn and look at Jack
"Come on let go and find the others"
"Ok" they walk toward the exit with their arms around each other. When they got to he two cars, the others were waiting for them
"Come on you two"
"We know" they got into the cars and drove back to the ranch.
When they got there they helped take everythinginside the house and they all got themselves a drink. Then walk outside and sit around the outdoor table and chairs. They talk for the next two hours before calling it a night.
The next morning Jack, Sam, Mark and Ann were all sitting up on the hill. Sam was sitting between Jack's legs and Ann was sitting between Mark. They were all watching the sunrise together.
"Sam I can see what you mean about how beautiful it is in the morning up here"
"I know"
"Are you two looking forward to next weekend?"
"Yep, you?"
"Yes, so where are you two going for your honeymoon?"
"Hawaii for a week" Mark said
"Nice"
"What about you two?"
"We haven't talk about our wedding plans, we still got plenty of time"
"Ok" they talked for the next hour while the sun was rising up over the hills.
When they all returned, they were all laughing and joking around when they walked inside to see Tracey there. They said their good mornings to her on their way to the room, when Tracey heard
"Last one in the kitchen will do the morning breakfast dishes, deal"
"Deal" they all said, then she heard doors closing. She walk into the kitchen to see Phillip drinking his morning coffee
"Was that the kids I just heard?" he asked
"Yes, Sam made a bet with them" he look up at her
"Oh what the bet?"
"Last on in the kitchen dose the dishes, they all agree then he heard doors closing" Phillip grin
"Sam is getting good"
"I know and who started of with these bets?" she raised her eyebrows at him
"I know," he said smiling then he took a mouth full of coffee
