Addy and Lola are mine, the rest are most deffinentaly not, please enjoy and review!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addy walked from the small cargo bay in the back of the ship to the pilot's compartment. She sat in the pilot's chair and gazed out of the shielded view of the stars. They had been flying for months and Addy was beginning to grow worried that they would run out of food and water soon. This new ship was in much better condition then the one Addy and Lola had fled in, but it did not go fast enough. She sighed, and leaned back. They had been very lucky when they crash landed on a planet and found this ship.
Lola walked into the compartment and slumped into the chair. "I. Want. Fly." She said like a child, not getting a cookie after dinner.
"You. Can't. Fly." Addy responded. For some reason the ship only responded to Addy's touch. To be honest, Addy thought it was a good thing, considering Lola's flying abilities. Lola spun in her chair, and then looked at Addy again.
"I'm hungry and we have no food…"
"What do you want me to do?"
"I don't know. Look for a planet with any sort of substantial energy source, a viable atmosphere, or any hope of edible food."
Addy paused for a moment, in shock of what had just come out of Lola's mouth. It was quiet possibly the most intelligent thing Addy ever remembered Lola saying. "What?"
"Like cookies," Lola suggested, it appeared that Lola had reverted back into her old self again.
"Maybe it was hunger induced geniosity" Addy mumbled to herself. Meanwhile she had begun gazing over the control board. She couldn't understand the language in the least, but still hoped she would be able to find a 'search engine' or something that would help them find an appropriate planet. Suddenly a large translucent screen popped up. It ran through an inventory of planets, until it stopped at one particular one.
"I didn't do it!" Lola screamed.
"I know." Addy checked what little she understood but it became clear to her that this planet not only was able to sustain appropriate life, but was an ideal match. There was just one thing.
"There are dottsies on it." Lola said. Those were life signs, there were about ten and one of them was blinking, which she assumed to mean dieing.
"You wanna give it a look-see?" Addy asked. Lola nodded. Now she wished she knew how to really change the course on this thing. Once again the ship responded to her thoughts and turned. Soon the planet displayed on screen was in actual sight. "Looks like I don't have to do any flying."
"Maybe they like to nice to the pilot's so that they can pack too."
"Who exactly are they?" Addy asked Lola as she got up to pack her bag.
"They are, umm… them."
Addy laughed and walked into the back compartment, thinking, well, at least she's making sense again. Lola followed her and they both began to pack their bags. Lola packed a purple and plum striped shirt, a light and navy blue striped shirt, and a green and olive green striped shirt. She packed a pair of pants some underpants, then went and waited in the pilot room for Addy to be done packing. Addy packed several guns, a few clothes, and some more weapons. She carried her bag into the frontward compartment and set it on the seat behind the pilot's chair.
Addy was ready for the 'auto pilot' to turn off because it would be too hard for a ship to land itself, no matter how impressive its mind reading abilities were. However, Lola wasn't. When the ship took a small, expected plunge Lola screamed loudly and jump-tackled Addy, pushing her away from the control panel.
"We're all gonna die!!!" Lola shrieked, pinning Addy to the floor.
"We will if you don't let go!" Addy yelled, pushing Lola off as best she could. Lola was a good fighter when she was filled with terror, which was unfortunately, was often. Lola continued to hold Addy down, this time screaming about how Addy hates her. Eventually Addy got Lola to calm down and get off of her. She lurched for the controls and pulled the little ship out of a nose dive just before it hit the tops of some very tall trees.
"Oops." Lola said, sitting next to Addy, "I made a boo boo."
Addy fumed silently as she brought the ship to a soft landing in a field. She got up, and left, leaving the bag, she now didn't know why she packed. Lola got up and followed, she grabbed her bag.
They walked to the back door and paused. "Umm, open?" Addy asked. Nothing happened. "Open?" She repeated. Still, nothing. As Addy grew angrier and angrier with the door Lola looked around and found a small lever. She pulled it and the door opened.
"I WIN!" She said triumphantly and walked out the door. The field they were in was large and beautiful, with many strange and exotic flowers. The wind swept past them and blew the scent of more flowers from the forest near them.
"Okay, we'll find some food, but first, you need to shower. There are some hot springs…" Addy trailed off and looked down on the small hand held device that had appeared mysteriously in the ship. "There is some hot springs that way," she pointed south of where they were, "just go straight, you can't miss them."
"Okies-padokies," Lola said skipping off in the direction Addy pointed.
Addy turned in the opposite direction and went towards the forest. The life signs were in that direction and she intended to find out. On the first planet that Addy and Lola had landed on there was a strange race of beings that addressed themselves as 'Wraith'. Addy didn't want to take any risk. She needed to find out exactly who was on this planet before she did anything else.
She walked slowly up the hill and pulled out the gun she kept at her hip. When she reached the top she saw what remained of a decimated village. There were two Wraith standing on-guard near where she hide. Addy checked her weapon to make sure it was fully loaded, and then took them both out. She knew she didn't have much time before others came, so she climbed into a tree and waited.

"Remind me again, why we're doing this?" Rodney asked from the back of a Puddle Jumper.
"We're checking to see if all the Wraith are dead." Sheppard said from the front.
"Can't we just assume and carry on out way?"
"NO!" Came the group's response, which consisted of Sheppard, Ronan, Teyla, and Carson.
Rodney slumped back in his chair angrily. He had been running some very important tests and didn't think his presence was very important. But he was part of the team, so of course, he needed to go.
"We'll be landing in soon folks," Sheppard said as he brought the Jumper down.
The group gathered near the door and left as a group when John had landed and cloaked the Jumper. "Alright folks," Sheppard said looking at his life signs scanner, "there is one rouge guy over there, we'll get that one first, then get this little group." He didn't notice that two of the life signs had just bleeped-out.
"So… they are still alive?" Carson asked.
"Appears that way, doesn't it?" Rodney said smiling.
"Alright, everyone, this way," Sheppard said pointing towards the south. "Rodney, you stay here."
"What, why?"
"Oh, you want to go?" Ronan asked.
"Well, no, not really…" Rodney trailed off. He didn't want to go, but he felt bad not going. Oh well, he figured, at least I'm safe for the day. He went back inside the cloaked Jumper and pulled out his trusty lap top.
The group headed out.
-- -- - -- --
Lola swam around in the hot spring she had chosen. She started to bathe after she got used to the hot water and occasional bubbles that protruded from the bottom. She heard the occasional animal life pass by, but in general, she was too happy to be clean to pay too much attention to any of it.
-- -- - -- --
Addy dropped from her tree and took out two more Wraith. According to her scanner there were six left. She saw four running at her and killed them quickly, then proceeded towards the tent that held the rest of them. She reloaded and opened the flap shooting one of them twice. She pulled back and waited for the other one to come out, it didn't take long and she killed the last one with little effort.
When he dropped she carefully stepped over the dead Wraith and walked into the tent. She gasped in surprise; there on the bed laid a dieing Wraith. He was looking at her only semi-aware of his surroundings. She walked up to him slowly. He didn't try to fight her. Addy looked on him and saw something different about him. He was not as the other Wraith was. He waited for her to kill him, but when she hesitated, he opened his mouth.
"Kill me," he said, almost as a plea.
"I can't. I'm going to help you." Addy came close to him to pick him up, but suddenly she saw something that made her panic. There were five life forces approaching Lola's position. She backed away, and then turned to save Lola. Before she left, she turned to the Wraith, "I'll be back." She promised, and then left.
-- -- - -- --
Ronan was the first to notice that it wasn't a Wraith they were approaching. They were coming down wind from the life force and the scent that filled his nostrils was that of a human and some odd perfumes, not of a Wraith. He also felt steam; he had never known Wraith for taking showers. "This isn't a Wraith," he announced once he was absolutely sure.
"Are you sure?" Sheppard asked.
"I do not sense the Wraith any more than when we were at the ship. In fact, I would say I sense them even less," Teyla said.
"Well, that's… good." Carson said, relieved. He still wasn't sure why he was here. He thought that staying back at the Jumper was a good idea. Even if it meant that he'd have to sit with Rodney.
"Could it be a Wraith that hasn't turned yet?" Sheppard asked.
"I doubt it, it's been too long." Carson speculated.
"Well now what are we going to do?"
"I will approach this person to see if they are friend or foe." Teyla said. Sheppard nodded and she walked forward, cautiously. After awhile she came to a clearing, a hot spring lay in the middle. There was a woman in it, she looked younger that Teyla, but not like a child. She waited a moment and assessed the scene.
This strange female appeared to have no idea what was going on. There were bathing supplements and clothes near the edge of the spring. Teyla didn't see a gun, but didn't doubt that there could be one anywhere. After a moment she called out, "Hello." She said.
The person in the spring flailed when she heard the voice, but quickly swam to the edge and called out. "Hello?" she called, scared and confused. "Who are you?"
"My name is Teyla Emmagen, I am friendly, and may I approach?"
"Umm, okay."
Teyla walked forward, holding out her hands, to signify peace. "Why are you here and what is your name?"
Lola made sure that the woman couldn't see anything before she answered, "My name is Lola Hallenfortrapath. I'm here with Addy…" she trailed off, because she didn't know Addy's last name, "well Addy isn't here but she's here. And we're here to rest, relax, and maybe find food. Why are you here?"
"I am here with a group of people and we are making sure all of the Wraith here have been extinguished."
"Wraith!? Well, that's not good. I need to get out now, so please turn around so I can get dressed?" Lola smiled and waited for Teyla to comply. When she turned around, Lola got out and quickly dried and dressed. "I'm all done now. Can I come with you? I need to get Addy."
Teyla led Lola to where the group was waiting. Then they started to head back towards the cloaked Jumper.
"Your friend's been busy, all the Wraith are dead." Sheppard observed.
Lola nodded happily, "Well that's Addy for you."
-- -- - -- --
Addy ran down the slope at high pace, and came crashing out of the forest at speed's she didn't know she could control. Before she had lost moment she crashed into something quite invisible. She took a step back and looked around, bemused. Her nose was throbbing and she was pretty sure it was bleeding heavily. "What the hell?" She screamed angrily.
As Addy staggered about in pain a man came out of no where that could only be described as Canadian. He held up a gun, shakily. He seemed semi-relieved that Addy wasn't a Wraith, but if he knew what he was about to get into, he may have retracted that emotion.
"Is this wall yours?" Addy asked angrily.
"Actually, it's a Puddle Jumper that's been cloaked…" he trailed off as Addy steadied herself and glared him down. "… umm, what are you doing?"
Addy smiled sadistically. The only thing she hated more than getting hurt was whipped cream, but there wasn't any around, so she would just have to take out her frustration on the man. "Oh, nothing…" Addy said, her eye twitching.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, well that's good, for a moment, I thought you migh---"He stopped talking when Addy dive tackled him. She pinned him down, threw his gun to the side and hit him square in the nose. One might have said they were now even, but Addy didn't care for even and not even, once she started beating someone, she probably wouldn't stop. This man gave little to no resistance.
-- -- - -- --
As the group lead the way Ronan spotted a strange person on top of Rodney. She seemed to be beating the crap out of him.
"Oh Addy's beating some guy." Lola said when she noticed Addy. Ronan and Sheppard took off to try and get Addy to stop trying to kill Rodney. Teyla and Carson stayed with Lola, but they did walk faster. Carson was suddenly glad that he went with the group.
Ronan reached Addy first and threw her off Rodney, then went after her and pinned her to the ground. He wasn't playing any games with this girl. She must be a good fighter if she could take out so many Wraith without a scratch on her. The thing wrong was her nose, but Ronan doubted that Rodney could have even done that much damage to her.
When Addy hit the ground something took over. Something in her instincts told her to kill. She couldn't reach this mans throat she hit him hard in the ribs and when his grip loosened she went for the throat and began choking him until he stopped holding her. She took the moment to flip him over and pin him to the ground. She didn't see Sheppard approach. Addy was about to pound Ronan's nose in when Sheppard tackled her away. If Addy could take Ronan down so easily she certainly would have problem fighting Sheppard, but suddenly she stopped.
"Addy, stop beating the nice people," was all Addy needed to hear from Lola to turn off her aggressive side. She hoped up and rushed to Lola.
"Are you okay?" She said checking Lola in a motherly way for any bumps or bruises.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
"But he's not. Bloody hell, what did you do to the poor man?" Carson inquired leaning over Rodney. "You could have killed him!"
"Oops." Addy said, smiling sheepishly. She looked around, Sheppard was helping Ronan up and Teyla was trying to gently wake up the unconscious Rodney. "Sorry… well I'm Addy."
"They know you're name! That one, with the crazy man hair is John Sheppard, the one with the accent is Carson Beckett, the girl is Teyla Emmagen, and the strong man is Ronan Dex. I dunno that guys name." Lola looked around and smiled, she felt proud for her accomplished roll call.
"This is Rodney McKay," Teyla said from his side. "Doctor, will he be okay?"
Carson looked up, "he will if he gets medical attention immediately," he said looking up. "We need to get him to the Deadalus as soon as possible." Ronan and Sheppard walked over and helped carry Rodney into the Jumper that Sheppard had just uncloaked.
"We have one of those!" Lola shouted happily.
The group looked at her shocked.
"It's over there," Lola said pointing.
"Well, let's go and---" Sheppard started.
"No son, I'm sorry. I don't think you realize how bad Rodney's condition is. He needs medical attention now." Carson looked worried.
This worried Sheppard so he went into the ship and started it up. "You two are coming with us," he instructed.
Both Lola and Addy got into the Jumper, and as the doors closed Addy thought of something. "When this gets taken cared of, we need to come back."
"I'm sure that can be arraigned." Teyla said. Rodney's head was in her lap and she was busy trying to stop the bleeding along with Carson. Ronan stood to the side, watching Addy carefully. He couldn't quite figure out how she worked, but he knew he wanted to.
Addy looked down at Rodney and suddenly felt very, very bad. "When he wakes up, can you tell him I say sorry?" She asked quietly.
Carson looked up and gave her a half-smile, then said, rather seriously, "If, my dear, if."

I hope you liked it, please review.
P.S. I swear there will be more SGA later on. I just had to introduce the charecters.
