Summary: Cassie's first Bonfire night
Info:

Note: On the night of November 5th, throughout Britain, bonfires are set alight, effigies are burned, and fireworks are set off. The people do this to commemorate their country's most notorious traitor: Guy Fawkes who conspired to blow up the Houses of Parliament with the then king, James I, in them.

Dedication: To Geonn... just because

Janet Fraiser stared into the dying embers. Her daughter long gone to bed, she took time to reflect on the night just gone.

Guy Fawkes, conspiracy plots, the box of fireworks forgotten under her bed, Cassandra Fraiser, the daughter she thought she could never have, and Captain Carter, the woman they had both come to love.

Bonfire Night had seemed a good idea as Samantha Carter regaled Cassie with tales of Old England learned from her dear Grammy.

True, Janet and Cassandra had bonded lovingly as they cuddled around the fire, eating potatoes in their jackets and telling their own stories, but where had Sam gotten to.

Ahead, appeared glittering lights, behind the sheepish face of Sam Carter.

Sam stared at Janet across the dying flames, her eyes held not only apologies, but something more instead. Not daring to hope too much, Janet indicated the seat beside her.

Sam joined her and lit two more of the sparklers. Handing one to Janet, she smiled deep into her eyes and allowed her fingers to linger on Janet's, before turning around to write in the air.

As Janet watched the sparkling letters being formed her heart missed a beat. Turning to Sam with a question in her eyes.

"Yes Janet, I love you."

As their lips met, fireworks exploded.

Janet's last thought was, 'Thanksgiving is looking up.'
