(I Don't own Stargate Atlantis)

John sighed as he leaned back against the grass. It has been a week since he had been on Todd's hive and this was the first time they had landed. He missed the ground and smell of the leaves around him. Shilo was beside him.

"You like being on a planet, don't you John?" She asked him as they land there.

"I do enjoy flying but not for weeks. I need to a tree once in a while."

"Do you miss your home world?"

"Yes, yes I do. How about you?"

"I never lived on a planet. We would just make stops like this once in a great while. I think my dad is stopping for your sake."

"I see."

They fell silent and watched as the sun got higher into the sky.

"My life is pretty boring. See all I can do is learn. You get to go to planets and see millions of different things. I wish I could travel like you do."

"I had to learn as well. We go to a place called school to learn. I had to go through a lot to get here."

"I see. John, did you have a mate where you come from?"

"No, not really."

"Oh."

"Why?"

"Just interested. Want to see the river I found yesterday when you were talking to my father?"

"Why not?"

They both jumped up and John followed her into the forest. The went for about a mile before she lead him to a small river.

"Um…this is nice." It was more like a puddle.

"You don't like it?" Shilo looked hurt.

"Well it is nice but its not a river."

"I have never really seen a real river before. Can you find one and show it to me?"

"I can try but no promises."

"Ok, let us go."

They began to walk deeper into the forest. They walked until the sky began to change colors.

"We need to head back." John mumbled as he looked up at the sky.

"Maybe we can look tomorrow if we are still here."

"Maybe."

It took them until night to get back to where the camp was. When they walked through the forest there was not hive ship. There where no wraith.

"Um…Shilo are you sure we are in the right place?" John could hear himself become panicky.

"I thought this was where we parked. John look."

He looked to where she was pointing and saw an old broken cocoon laying on the ground. It was the same one that Todd was going to throw out then they landed.

They were now stranded on an planet with no known gate and no way to leave…..
