AN: Alright so Cassie and I were trying to come up with a plotline for our Chastity and Grace crossover story we are going to do, and I had this brilliant idea for a story! So Destiny finally gets back to Earth. We've lost some people along the way, but how does Chastity deal with life changing? Takes place in the future. Chastity will be about 16 in this. In this story, I'm not going to be having Destiny, so Chastity is an only child in this one. Bear with me and enjoy!
I'm dedicating this to samcarter2 because even though she doesn't know me, the message she sent me when I was down helped me a lot, so thank you. And to Cassie cause she needs to smile… so SMILE DAMMIT! Hehe... Love you!
Disclaimer: I own Chastity! Woot!

Destiny had finally landed. Sixteen years later, it had finally gotten the crew back to Earth. Chastity looked out the window and could see what her father said was Earth. She picked up her only possession, the little toy truck her Uncle Riley had made for her. She was about a year old when he had died, but she had loved that truck. It was the only thing she could truly call hers.
"What are you thinking about Princess?" Everett asked as he walked in. Chastity smiled at him. She had always been a daddy's girl, ever since she was born. She and her mom had had a talk about that once because Chastity didn't want her mother to feel unimportant.
"I have nothing there Daddy. I don't have any friends or family and I don't know how to act. I mean I was raised on Destiny here. Aunt Chloe, Uncle Matt, and Uncle Eli have told me stories, but…."
A tear slipped down Chastity's face. Her bright green eyes were filled with tears. Everett pulled her into his arms and stroked her long brown curls.
"I know baby girl, I know, but I promise you, you will make tons of friends" he said. Chastity cried into her father's chest, scared of the unknown that she was going to have to enter in less than an hour. "Come on, it's time to go gather" he said. Chastity nodded and walked side by side with her father. Her baggy army pants and her too large shirt swished as she walked. Everett smiled at her sadly, realizing how difficult this was going to be for her.

Chastity walked through the gate. She paused at the other side taking everything in. She wanted her parents, but they were coming through last. Her father needed to make sure the crew was safely back first. Her mother was just stubborn and wouldn't go through without him. Chastity saw the gathered people smiling at her and she felt uneasy. She clutched the truck in her hands, wanting the comfort it provided her as a child.
"Chastity" a man called out. She whimpered and took a step back as he took one forward. She wanted her dad. The man smiled at her gently as Matt stepped up next to her. "It's me, Uncle Jack" he said. Matt nodded when she looked to him for confirmation. She stepped forward and hugged him gently. "Welcome to Earth" he said. She pulled away, still not having said a word.
"Sir" Everett said as he stepped forward, letting Chastity know that he was there and they were safe. That she was safe. "All personnel are here and accounted for" he reported as he saluted Jack. Jack smiled and saluted him back.
"Good work Colonel" he said. Everett wrapped an arm around Chastity's shoulders and watched his daughter start to relax. "Everyone's families are waiting in the commissary for your arrival. Shall we?" Jack asked. Everett nodded and everyone followed him. When they saw their families hugs and tears were shared. Chastity leaned against the wall watching as her parents greeted a large group of people. Rush shook his head and walked off. Chastity glanced at her parents, making sure they were ok before she went after him.
"You don't have family?" she questioned. Rush smiled at her sadly. He didn't like her per say, but things had gotten better over the years. It's a funny thing when you are stuck together on a ship and see each other daily.
"My wife died before we first dialed Destiny. She was my only family" he replied. Chastity stepped forward.
"I'm your family" she whispered. Rush smiled at her softly.
"I know" he whispered. "Why did you follow me Chastity?"
"I don't have family. I have my mom and dad, but everyone else is leaving me. I won't have anyone anymore" she said, tears filling her eyes. Rush looked at her in sympathy. It was difficult for them being on the ship because they had known so much more, but for Chastity, it was all she had known for her life. Now she was being thrust into this world of school and real life. She was old enough to drive, not that she even knew what a car was.
"I will make sure to visit. I'm sure Scott, Chloe, and Eli will too. Greer won't leave the base here so that won't be a problem" he assured her. She smiled at him sadly. Even she knew it wasn't going to be the same. Everything was changing and she had no idea how to handle it.
"Chastity?" Everett called out.
"Coming daddy" she yelled back. She pulled Rush into a hug. "Te amo. Ego desidero" she whispered to him. He had taught her Ancient when she was small.
"Ego quoque desiderium" he replied. She pulled back and kissed him on his cheek. He smiled at her as she turned back to go back to her father. She smiled at him over her shoulder, but he was already gone.
"Vale" she whispered. She caught back up with her father and smiled at him. "Miss me?" she teased. He rolled his eyes, but pulled her into a hug anyway.
"I saw that you had gone after Rush and just wanted to make sure you didn't get lost" he replied. Chastity rolled her eyes and walked next to her father back to the commissary.
"I didn't get lost thank you very much. If I learned to navigate Destiny, I can figure out Earth" she replied. Everett smirked as he led her back to the group of people he and TJ had been talking to. Chastity froze and her mouth shut. He sighed. She didn't know how to interact with new people.
"Come on princess. It's alright, this is our family" he whispered. Chastity looked up at him, her bright eyes shining with unshed tears. She was scared and confused and being thrust into a brand new situation that would only get worse over time. He sighed. "Your mom and I will be here the whole time" he replied. Chastity looked unsure, but nodded anyway. The group smiled at her kindly. She gave a small wave.
"Hi" she said shyly. It was going to take a while getting used to Earth. She was missing Destiny already.

AN: Alrighty then, so there was chapter one! Next we are going to take her shopping, at a mall, and the car! I feel bad for Chastity being thrown into a new situation head first! So, thanks for reading now PLEASE REVIEW!
Translation: Ok so I read that the Ancient language was close to Latin, so I used Latin which roughly translates to: I love you. I will miss you.
I will miss you too.
Goodbye.
