FIREWORKS
A/N: The title says it all! Happy 4th of July to all here and across the pond
"That was… Wow! Inever imaged it could be this great!"
"Told you. You don't know what you've been missing all these years. I told you you'd I'd make you see fireworks Carter. I'm happy you're not disappointed."
"I know sir but it wasn't what I expected but now that you've shown me how fantastic it could be I'll be forever in your debt. What can I do to make up for all those years?"
He looked at Carter and the smile on her face glowed it had been perfect if he did say so himself.
"I don't know Carter its gonna cost you. If I'd known you'd be this excited about it I'd asked you years ago but now that you've got a taste of it you want more. I don't blame you it's the best ride in town."
"Your right it made me all tingly inside and well I never got to experience something so wow! When can we do it again?"
"Well I have to reset my equipment and well timing is crucial."
Jack started to position himself and she waited and saw that with all the fiddling he still wasn't ready.
"Come on sir I'll help you with it, I don't mind really. Do you want me to play with it to see if I can get the right angle?"
Jack saw the eagerness in her but knew he could do it on his own. He tried to suppress the smile but knew it was a losing battle. To think she'd be this excited over...
"Nope I've been doing this for years I think I know how to get my equipment set up so just relax and let me do all the work."
Carter bit her lip and watched him try to get the right spot.
"Sir, really I don't mind I feel like I'm not participating if I just lay here. Come on let me help I bet I can get it to work faster."
She moved over to where he was sitting and started to help him move his telescope so they wouldn't miss the next firework show.
"I've got it!"
Jack moved out of the way so she wouldn't miss a thing. Her smile was his reward.
He never knew she had been such a firework fanatic but when he mentioned that he had his own access to shows across the cities in Colorado she jumped at the chance to watch them with him.
She pulled back from the telescope.
"This should be a new tradition for us sir."
Jack nodded and handed her a beer, "I told you Carter you wouldn't be disappointed."
She nodded her head
"Happy 4th of July sir."
"Happy 4th of July Carter."
