Sam blinked a few times as she took in her surroundings. She was still in her flower covered room but, her bed was rather empty and she didn't remember climbing under the covers. She closed her eyes a moment as she took her time to stretch. Her moment was interrupted as the bed bounced and Sam looked up to find Jack back in bed with her, a pint of ice cream in hand.

"Hi," she smiled lazily at him.

"Hiya," he said as he held out a spoonful of ice cream. She took the treat with a smile and watched him. "What do you want to do tonight?"

"Um, what time is it," she asked as she buried herself further into her bed.

"Going on five."

"What," Sam asked as she pulled herself up just enough to see the clock on the side table by Jack's side of the bed. "Holly Hanna, how long was I asleep for?"

Jack spared her a grin before he set down the ice cream container and then leaned over her, pushing her back into the bed. He leaned down, kissing her and she could taste the ice cream on his lips. "Well," he mumbled against her lips. "You're awake now." Sam wrapped her arms around his neck only to be interrupted by the phone ringing. "Don't answer," Jack offered as he continued to kiss her. She tried to ignore the phone, she really did but when Daniel's voice came out on the answering machine they both knew they weren't going to finish what they wanted to start.

"Hey Sam … uh …So I heard that … um … have you seen … well I guess … Yeah, so Janet, Teal'c, and I are gonna take Cassie to the amusement park. We thought you and … well … that you'd like to come with. And um … well … I can't get a hold of Jack … so … if you hear from him … yeah, just give us a call … bye."

Sam couldn't help the laugh that busted out as Jack buried his head in her shoulder. "God, he's got awful timing."

"And I guarantee you he's going to call back in a few minutes when he realizes he didn't leave any details," Jack offered as he started kissing her shoulder.

"We should go ahead and get up then," Sam offered as she gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Why?"

"Because then we can test your theory about kissing on the Ferris wheel."

Jack held her hand tightly in his as they walked towards their group of friends and then right past them.

"Jack," Daniel cried.

"We gotta make a stop at the Ferris wheel Danny; meet us there when you're ready!"

"Jack," Sam laughed as she let him lead her exactly where she knew he would. They arrived rather quickly and to her amusement found themselves standing in a long line. She wrapper her free hand around his bicep while she leaned her head against his shoulder. "How many times are we going to ride this tonight?"

"As many times as we can," he offered before placing a kiss on the top of her head. "Have I mentioned the fact that I like your hair?"

"Mmm hmm."

"The short hair always looked good on you but I like this too."

Sam lifted her head to spare him a contented smile and Jack leaned in enough to give her a soft slow kiss. "This is nice," Sam sighed as she replaced her head on his shoulder.

"It'd be nicer if Daniel hadn't interrupted," Jack grumbled.

"Maybe, but it's nice to have such a normal night; especially when I'm going out of the country for three more months."

Jack squeezed her hand tighter as they moved up the line. "I think you're right. I think the universe is conspiring against us. How long is this command going to last exactly?"

"According to the powers that be, 'three month intervals until further notice'. We actually need to talk about that –"

"Sam, let's talk about it later."

"There isn't much time Jack. I leave in just over 48 hours."

"Samantha … please? We'll talk later. I just want to spend what time we have left enjoying it."

"If you make me a promise I'll agree to table this until your liking. But it has to be before I leave."

"What's the promise?"

"Since we have to figure this out over long distance will you promise to keep writing me every week? Even if you feel like you don't have anything to say it can be something as short as 'I'm clueless' or 'I'm too pissed to talk'. I'd worry if I didn't get a letter from you every week while I'm there. I've come to rely on those … a lot."

"If you can promise the same then it's a deal."

"Hey," the guy operating the Ferris wheel interrupted their moment. "It's your turn, you gonna hop on or what?"

The two climbed into the seat and as the Ferris wheel began to turn Sam cupped jack's face in her hands and gently kissed him. "I promise."

Sam returned her head to his shoulder and they silently watched the scenery pass them by until it was their turn to stop at the top of the Ferris wheel. There Jack turned to face her as best he could while he cupped her face. "Now this is what I had in mind in South America." Jack pressed his lips to hers in a hungry kiss that reminded her of the time she had kissed him in South America. Except so much better.

"Hey lovebirds! Rides over. Hello!"

"Jack," Sam practically laughed against his lips.

"Damn." He finally ended the kiss before he helped her out of the seat.

"That was quite a make out session," Cassie offers with a bright smile. "Hey!"

"I told you not to be a pest," Janet chided as justification for elbowing her own daughter. "Come on you two. Let's go hit a few rides before the Colonel just has to come kiss Sam on the Ferris wheel again."

At Sam's giggling Jack eyed her, carefully watching as she started to blush under his scrutiny. "You told her?"

"I write her letters too you know."

"Told her what," Daniel jumped into the conversation. "Ow," he cried at Janet hitting him upside the head, hard. "What was that for?"

"I was hoping you'd take the hint to shut up," Janet offered with a sigh.

"Okay," Jack whispered into Sam's ear. "Not such a bad runner up for the nights events after all."
