ok here it is his big announcement! thanks for reading. now its time to write chapter 4 ;)

When the movie ended Jacob decided it was tome for him to share his news.

"I've been re-assigned to Colorado Springs." He let out a heavy sigh.

"What?" the out burst from Sam was unexpected and snapped everyone's attention to her, "we just got her 4 months ago and now they're moving us again?"

"Sam I'm sorry I know how this is for-"

"No!" she cut him off "you don't! You've always put your work above us! How could I expect this time to be any different!" she stalked to her room trying to not slam the door as she went. Jacob looked up flabbergasted how could she think I put work above family? Do I? No Mary would say something.

After Sam's outburst silence encompassed them and Mark walked to his room leaving Jack with their parents. "I'm sorry you had to see that. "The words made him jump slightly because he wasn't expecting them. Jacob sighed and went to his room.

"Jack, are you going to sleep in Marks room or in here?"

"Marks room I guess, but thanks." He smiled at her, a smile that she returned. Sam looks a lot like her, he noted. "Good night Mrs. Carter"

"Night Jack, and please call me Mary." She laughed she liked him he was a sweet boy.

Jack woke up several hours later. For a minute he wondered why he was on the floor then he heard someone snore. Oh, marks house. He briefly wondered what had woken him as he got up to get a glass of water. Heading towards the kitchen he heard Sam quietly crying as he passed her room. Should I... no...Well she is crying... just do it Jack before you lose your nerve. He stepped up to her door and knocked.

"Yes? Um come in"

"Sam is everything alright?" he asked coming through the door. She looked away trying to not show that she had been crying. She was wrapped in a blanket it was freezing in her room. "Is there anything I can get for you? Water, yo-yo, jacket." She snorted. And turned to look at him trying to smile at him but it came out as more of a grimace. He smiled at her. He liked this blonde she was funny and beautiful not to mention quick as a switch. He went and sat on the end of her bed hoping she would talk to him

"I don't want to move. Not again." He nodded he often moved around with his army family a lot. You make friends in some places then you lose them he understood that and the tears that came with it.

"I know" he said.

"You do?" she turned towards him full on looking at him with a confused look on her face. He nodded again

"Yeah my family moves a lot too. I know how you feel. You just got here you've made some friends and you don't want to leave them and start over." He moved to sit be side her he knows what is needed to comfort someone.

"That's not all. Prom is in a few weeks and I don't even have a date." A new round of tears washed over her falling onto her bed as jack wrapped her in a hug. Gee, I knew prom was important to girls, but I didn't know it was this important.

"Hmm no date? That's a problem." She nodded into his chest as she continued to cry. She didn't know why she was letting him hold her or why she was even telling him this, but she liked jack he seemed to understand her even though they didn't know each other "you go to the same school as Mark right?" again she nodded "well if you'll still be here and you still don't have a date, would you go with me to the prom? I would be delighted if you would."

She looked up at him "you mean it?" he smiled and nodded. She settled back into his chest and said, "I'd like that, Jack, thank you, but you realize of course that you're stuck with me now right?"

"What do you mean?" he asked confused

"For the prom I mean!" she stumbled over the words. "No one would ever dream of asking a straight A, blonde, student whose dad happens to be a two star general out to the prom. Every guy in school is scared to death that dad will kill them at the slip of a word."

"Every guy? That can't be true I can think of at least two." She gave him an 'explain' look "Mark for one and the other is yours truly." She giggled and flashed him a mega-watt smile. "You need to ask your dad when you're leaving tomorrow at breakfast and if you are leaving after prom I will take you to the prom. I promise."

They sat like that for another few minutes before jack said " we had better go back to sleep before your dad comes to check on you and if he finds us like this he really will kill me." She laughed and hugged him tighter reluctant to let go , having him here just felt right. "Goodnight Sam"

"'Night Jack" she said and with that he walked out of her room closing her door leaving her to fall asleep smiling to herself, pleased that she had a date to the prom. She would have to talk to her mother about a dress. She couldn't help it she was so excited there was no way she was going to miss prom.

As jack walked back to Marks room his head was spinning. Had he really just asked Samantha Carter to go to prom with him? Whoa! More than that she had agreed to go with him. When he got back to Marks room he was grinning like a guy who just had his first kiss.

Mark smiled as Jack lay back down to sleep. It worked! Jack was going to take Sam to prom! This was what he wanted for Sam. Forget Pete, he had asked mark to hook him up with Sam, Mark wanted her to go with Jack. Besides Pete is a jerk and all he wants with Sam is her body, he had said so, and there was no way mark was going to let that happen.

im not sure im entirly pleased with how this turned out but you tell me. what do you think? and i need an opinion, should i bring Pete into this? thanks! send a review please!
