A party. A party to celebrate the destruction of the Wraith. It had been decided that there would be karaoke. Everyone had to sing something they know. The humans from Earth had to sing Earth songs. The Athosions had to sing Athosian songs.
John sang Humpty Dumpty.
Rodney sang fryer Jacko.
Ford sang Mary had a little lamb.
Elizabeth sang 1000 words
As she sang images flashed in front of everyone.
I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
You're words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didn't say good-bye before you left
But I was listening
You fight your battles far from me
Far to easily.
Wraith ships appeared in the sky.
Save your tears 'coze I'll come back
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain when I turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I cried my eyes out?
And begged you not to depart
But now I'm not afraid to say
What's in my heart
An ancient appeared and took a solid shape. She looked like Elizabeth but with long hair. Then she started to sing. Elizabeth stoped singing to watch what was going on.
'Coze a thousand words
Call out through the ages
The puddle jumpers where launched.
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see
I know they're reaching you
The ground troops ran to their positions.
Suspended on silver wings
Oh a thousand words
In the control room John gave Elizabeth a quick hug before leaving the room.
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
The ground troops loaded their P90's.
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever
There was a lot of shooting and a lot of people being taken. The last puddle jumper launched and took out the final Wraith hive ship. The puddle jumper landed and John stepped out. He got to the control room just after a Wraith dart attacked it. Thankfully nobody was hurt. Elizabeth ran into John's arms and held on tightly.
Oh a thousand words The ancient sang.
Oh thousand words Echoed Elizabeth.
Have never been spoken
Ooh yeah
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home Carry you home And back in to my arms
Suspended on silver wings Sang Elizabeth.
Oh silver wings Now the ancient echoed.
And a thousand words
Oh
Call out through the ages Call through the ages They'll cradle you Oh yeah
Making all of your lonely years
To only days
Only days
They'll hold you forever
Oooh a thousand words
The ancient disappeared.
John realised that Elizabeth had somehow shown what had happened during the Wraith attack a few days ago.
But now the Wraith were dead. All they had to do was look forword to a good future and forget an unhappy past.
