Chapter Five:
Jack and Sam had managed to make it though their 'first date'. Since Jack wasn't really part of the SGC anymore, they weren't seeing each other on a daily basis, the way they used to.
It had been kind of weird for all of them when Jack left the team. He had been their first leader, and was for a long time. They all just fit together, like it was meant to be, and when he left it was as thought a piece of the puzzle was missing and it head left them all with a dull heartache.
Of course, by this point they had all grown used to Jack's being gone – and the addition of Vala and Cam on the team. But Sam supposed that they all still thought of each other as the 'original four'. They had been so close, for so long, no one could understand the things that they had been though together.
Since their night out they had talked on the phone once, and not yet made planes for another date, but Sam wasn't worried. They would take it nice and slow and be content.
Their conversation on the phone had been proof of the progress in their relationship. They had been less tongue tied and more open with each other.

"Who are you talking to?" Daniel whispered to Cam as he carried on a conversation on his cell phone.
"Your girlfriend." Cam mouthed back with a smirk.
"Funny, real funny."
"Don't worry, I've moved on to new women – you know, the close distance kind. They're more my thing." Cam wrote on a piece of paper, then shooed Daniel away – wanting privacy with his new girl.
"I guess that's one thing Jack and I never had a problem with." Daniel muttered to himself as he walked away. Jack had never dated while on the team – at least not as far as Daniel knew, and he would know. Then again, Daniel hadn't done much dating either.
It had been years since he had lost Shar're. He had managed to push her from his mind – mostly. There had been a girl here and there, but he didn't feel as though he had found a woman he could be with like that. He wanted more than a fling – but she had to be just right.

Tara had forgotten mostly about her brother's 'blind date' set up and was back in reality. Between work, school, and her painting, she barely had time to think about relationships. A few guys from school had asked her out, but she had turned them down.
There had been two serious guys in her past. The first relationship had been in high school, with a cool guitar player with his own band. That relationship had fallen out when they graduated.
Her first year of college she had dated a guy she worked with. She had let herself fall deeply for him way too quickly, and months later she had found that he wasn't the guy of her dreams, and felt so hurt that it seemed she would never be able to like a guy again. That was three years ago.
A/N: Sorry it's so short! It's kind of a 'between chapters' chapter. Just a little bit of what's going on with everyone. The next chapter will be longer, promise!
