A/N: First fanfiction, everyone! I sincerely hope you all enjoy it! Reviews are much appreciated, as well as a few suggestions for what the hell to do in the next chapter. And Dad, if you're reading this, how in hell did you find this! I never linked you to thiiiiiiissssssss. At least, I wasn't going to when I wrote this.

It had been nearly two weeks since the crew of Destiny put themselves into stasis. Two weeks since Eli was left all alone, to try and save himself. He had tried every approach, from restarting the pod, to messing with some of the fundamental code of the pod itself. All that did was use up precious, precious oxygen which Eli couldn't afford to waste. When it became time to turn off the oxygen, he realised that a different solution was needed. Obviously, the stasis pod wasn't going to be fixed with the few hours of breathable air remaining in the ship. But maybe, somebody would be willing to share a pod…

All of a few minutes after this epiphany, there was a small hiss at one of the stasis pods, followed by a whirr and a slide, as the door to one of the pods slid upwards. Chloe took a gasping breath for air, and nearly slumped out of the pod, into Eli's waiting arms.

"Eli! Did we make it to the next galaxy?" She asked, trying to stand up independently at the same time.

"Uhhhhhh, not exactly." Eli replied. Chloe then realised that something had gone very wrong. Otherwise Eli wouldn't have needed to wake her up in the first place. "I need to ask a favour of you."

"Sure thing. What do you need?" Chloe asked, not exactly liking where this was going.

"Well, I've been trying for the past two weeks to fix my pod so that I could, y'know, not die. Next thing I knew, it was two weeks later, and I'd made no progress. And I was kinda hoping that we… could share a pod?" Eli requested. Deep down, he knew Chloe would agree. But on the off chance she didn't… well, Eli didn't think Chloe would be so horrible as to deny the right to live another day.

"Okay, sure. I don't see why not." Chloe replied, before leaning over and propping herself against the wall of the stasis pod.

"Thanks!" Eli hugged Chloe tightly, before trying to squeeze into the pod with her. "It's a bit tight, but I think we can manage three years in here." He said, before jabbing at the button to activate the pod. The door slid back downwards, and the stasis pod activated almost immediately. And Destiny sped on, as if nothing had ever happened. And, as far as the ship was concerned, nothing did happen. At least, nothing worth thinking about for more than a few seconds.

A/N again: No, this doesn't mean I'm pairing up Eli and Chloe. Yes, this is directed at you, Dad, if you're reading this, although the rest of the audience can take heed as well.
