A/N: First, I would like to thank cinderella2122, Skwerels, and SamJackShip for the reviews. I appreciate it.

Secondly, I would like to tell you guys that school starts on Tuesday and that I will try my hardest to get a lot of this story done before then. I'd say that I'd update maybe once a week after school starts. I'll go as fast as I can, but I have a very challenging schedule this year promising lots of homework.

Thank you for the support and keep reviewing,

Last Train to Clarksville

Chapter 2: THOR!

It was amazing how her demeanor changed when the formalities of rank were dropped. They caught the 9:00 train, and were talking animatedly the whole way up. They arrived at their destination around lunchtime, and Jack rented a car at a rental place near the station and they drove up to the cabin.

When they arrived, they were greeted with the sweet smell of the fresh mountain air and the soft song of birds chirping in the trees. Sam walked into the cabin and laid down her bags in the living room. Jack walked in, carrying the rest of the gear, and shrugged his shoulders.

"There's only one bedroom here, so, I'll sleep on the couch if you want," He said nervously.

"No, Jack, it's alright, I mean, I don't want you to spend your vacation on the couch because of me, I mean,"

"Really, it's alright, its no bother, I'd do it for anyone else-"

"But 'anyone else' wouldn't mind sharing a bed with you." She said, finishing with a note of finality and, unless he was seeing things, a hint of a suggestive wink.

"You win." He said, throwing up his hands in surrender.

He took their bags to the bedroom, and Sam walked into the kitchen to see what they had in terms of food. 'Anything can be better than those MREs." She thought.

After a thorough analysis, she found that they had only two things.

"Beer and beer cheese?" she asked Jack as he walked into the room.

"Hey! I like beer cheese! My friend from KY introduced me to them and I got hooked!"

"Looks like we're going out." Sam said, walking out of the room to get freshened up and dressed for dinner.

Jack took her to a nice, upscale place for dinner. It was a little place nudged deep in the mountains, with a breathtaking view of the mountainside, complete with indigenous life and a little stream running down the side of the mountain, eventually dumping out into a lake that as smooth and glassy.

Sam had dressed in a grey wool skirt and a pink cashmere top, Jack opting for chinos, a burgundy shirt, and a leather jacket. To the general public, they gave off the impression of a cute, happy couple, and both of them thought of that, and of how nice it would be if it were true.

They were sat at a small table right next to a huge picture window with the best view in the restaurant of the mountainside. It was breathtaking, the sight of the mountain with streaks of moonlight, and the streaks of the moonlight on the lake that was moving ever so slightly in the gentle breeze. It really was picturesque and both thoroughly took in and appreciated the view.

"Wow." Sam said, at a loss for words at the sheer beauty of the scene before her. "No wonder you love this place so much."

"Yeah," he said, equally mesmerized. "The company's much better now, though." Sam smiled at that comment and was about to say something when their waitress came up with menus and told them about the nights specials.

They ordered and ate their meal talking about the state of affairs, and the fate of the galaxy, and other random topics. When they had finished their dessert and after dinner coffees, they drove back to the cabin and went out back, sitting on the dock, Sam still speechless over the view.

They sat in relative silence, each just thinking, close to each other. After a while, Jack reached over and placed his hand over hers, uncertain of what her reaction would be. She didn't pull away; in fact, she turned her hand around underneath his and allowed their fingers to intertwine.

They both smiled at themselves, content for the moment. When Jack thought the moment was right, he leaned in to kiss her. She turned to meet his lips. They were inches apart. Years of pent up emotions finally catching up with them. Their lips were a millimeter apart when. . .

"THOR!"
