on the planet
Aeryn, John, and KJ walked down the street looking at different shops. They stopped in front of a general merchandise store, KJ's face plastered against the window.
John turns to Aeryn, "Aeryn, I need to pick up some parts for D. Why don't you and KJ have a look in there?"
"For What?"
"For what ever got him so interested." Aeryn notices KJ's interest and has an idea of what he's searching for.
"Yes, go ahead. KJ and I are going to see if this shopkeeper sells any games.
"Okay, I'll meet you at the pod." John said giving Aeryn a quick kiss and ruffling KJ's hair, and disappear's around the next corner.

"So, see anything you like?"
"Yeah, can we get this cool virtual reality game."
Remembering the last experience with a virtual reality game Aeryn quickly replies, "How about another game."
"Okay." KJ says and searches for another game as Aeryn sighs with relief. Seeing another game, he quickly picks it up. Realizing it was an identical game to John's chess set. He quickly turns to Aeryn excitedly, "Can I have this game please," he begged.
"Why? You use John's."
"But I want one of my own."
"Alright." Aeryn says then turns towards the shopkeeper to pay for the game. On the way back to the pod, Aeryn starts to feel as if they were being followed. She stops and looks around the alley. KJ looks up at her, puzzlement written all over his face.
"What's wrong."
"I don't know."
She was about to turn to continued to the pod, when she saw what had been following them, it was a man. He was also pointing some kind of a weapon at them. Acting instinctivvly, Aeryn threw herself if front of KJ, just as the man fired. She could feel the pusle blast hit sending her and KJ to the ground.
Aeryn drew out her pistol looking for their attackers, he was gone. She turned towards KJ wincing as a fresh wave of pain assulted her. She had protected him.
Almost.
KJ layed on the ground breathing in short gasps covered in blood and had a gaping whole in his chest. Aeryn thoughts started to race. (How could this happen. I protected him.) Then she grew pale as her thoughts came to one conclusion. The shot went through her. Aeryn crawled towards KJ with a growing panic.
"KJ! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!." Still not getting a reply Aeryn shakly pulled KJ into her lap, and called to him again.
"KJ! Open your eyes! Please, don't do this to me. Open your eyes." She watched as he slowly open his eyes.
"Aeryn, I......my chest hurts."
"I know KJ, we'll get you help. You'll be okay." Aeryn despretely looked around hoping to see someone, anyone, but all she saw was that the alley was empty. She turned to her coms, "John."
"John." (Whats wrong with the Frelling coms.) She was about to call in her com again when she heard KJ gasp with pain. She quickly turned back to KJ in concern.
"Are you all right."
"No. I'm not going to live am I?"
"Of course you are. You're going to live to be a real old man you'll see."
She said trying to convince him and herself.
"No, I'm not. I can see it in your eyes."
"KJ." She said , as tears came to her eyes.
"Don't worry about me big sis. I'm fine now. Just like you said I would be..........."
"KJ." Aeryn said in rising panic. She watched in dispair as her darling little baby brother took his last breath, and close his eyes to never open them again.
"KJ! No! Wake up! Don't go! Don't go!" Aeryn choked off with a sob, tears freely flowing down her cheeks. It started to rain as a shell of Aeryn Sun, carefully picked up a postrate form of KJ and numbly started back to the pod.

"Aeryn." John called for the tenth time, he has been waiting for Aeryn for half-an-arn and was starting to worry.
"Aeryn." (The damn coms arn't working.) He was about to go out looking for them when he spotted Aeryn making her way towards him with KJ limply in her arms. He could feel the rattlers start up as he ran over to them. His heart nearly stopped when he reached them. Aeryn was badly hurt and KJ was deadly still.
"Aeryn. Is he....." It was all he could get out when he saw the look in her eyes. It was a mirror to the agony she was in.
"I promised......I promised he would be okay.....I promised he would be okay.....and now he's gone.....he's gone." She kept repeating with a low husky voice. With tears in his eyes, John crushed Aeryn to him, to block out the pain they were feeling.
"I know you did baby. I know you did."

It was a sad day for the crew of moya. They all stood in the pouring rain as they listened to a song John had found in his module two monens ago. Watching as they prepared to bury KJ body.
Every night in my dreams, I see you I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance and spaces between us,
You have come to show you go on.
Near, Far, Where ever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more you open the door,
And your here in my heart and my heart will go on and on.
Love can touch us one time and last for a life time,
And never let go until we're gone.
Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold too,
In my life we'll always go on.
Near, Far, where ever you are
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more you open the door,
And your here in my heart and my heart will go on and on.
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on.
We'll stay forever this way,
You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on.
(music keeps playing until it fades out).
Aeryn stood with a blank expression on her face as some of the towns people buried the form of KJ in the ground. She could feel her heart breaking all over again. She had failed him. She had failed another loved one. John quickly thanked the towns people and walked over to Aeryn. He slowly put his arm around her and buried his face in her soaked hair , giving each other comfort.
