Dammit, why do these aliens keep tryin'a shoot me!

O.k, situation summary. Lotsa Goa'uld, not a lotta bullets, and I'm hiding behind a boulder.

On the plus side, Sam is here with me.

<Boom> <Boom>

Two down, taking my total up to- "Twelve."

"Fourteen," Sam counters. "You'd better catch up lover-boy." She grins.

God I love her. If we weren't fighting I'd - Argh

I bend over and kiss my love.

Are we going to survive this? Chances don't look good. I want her to know how much I love her...

Well, no time like the present.

"Sam, will you marry me?"

~ (Sam) ~

"Twelve," Jack challlenges.

"Fourteen. You'd better catch up lover-boy." I love teasing him. I love him.

We're running out of bullets and those Goa'uld are mad. I don't like our chances... Enough pessimism, Jack's kissing me. How did I get so lucky?

"Sam, will you marry me?" He asked suddenly.

? ... ...?... ...!... ...!... ...?... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will I ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I won't have him winning.

"One condition." His eyes sparkle. Condition?

"We both have to survive this."

"Deal." He grabs me and kisses me, harder than before.

A "just in case - goodbye" kiss. My heart aches with love.

<boom-ba-boom-bom-boomboom-ba-boom>

Not us...

Reinforcements!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....

Fights over.

"Sorry we're late Jack."
