 "Aeryn."

Aeryn turned to see a glowing form of KJ.

"KJ? Am I...."

She was interuppted when KJ started giggling histerically. "You not dead, Aeryn." Then KJ's face grew serious. "I came to tell you that it wasn't your fault and you have to move on."

Tears came to Aeryn's eyes as she recalled KJ's recent death. "I can't. You're gone."

"I never left you sister. I'll always be with you as long as you keep me in your heart. What happened to me couldn't be prevented,it was just my time to go."

"Yeah, but it hurts so much." Aeryn said as tears spilled from her eyes.

"It always does, instead of looking at what you lost, look at what you gain in return. Love. Me dying brought you and John closer together. You don't have to worry about me, I couldn't be happier. I've met mom, she told me to tell you that she loves you, and I met someone else who wanted to see you."

Aeryn watched as her John came up behind KJ with a warm smile on his face. "Hi, Baby. You don't have to worry about KJ anymore, he's here with me. I've come to tell you that I miss you very much and that I'm always watching over you.

"Miss you too." Aeryn said with a watery smile.

"There's my sunshine. Now it's time for you to go back to the other John."

Aeryn watched as the form of KJ and John faded away.)

"Aeryn."
"hmmmm?"

"Aeryn, look at me , are you alright?"

Aeryn slowly opened her eyes to the concerned face of John.

"John?"

"Yeah, baby it's me. You alright?"

"I'm fine. What happened?"

"After you pasted out, I carried you back to the pod. Jocan took the other one and flew back to moya." John watched as a look of sadness crossed her face. "Whats wrong?"

"John, what if I lose control again. What if I hurt more people than I did this time."

"You want."

"What if I do. How many people are going to suffer because of me?"

"This was not your fault. You counldn't help what happened. Don't do this to yourself, Okay?" John said gently moving a long strand of hair behind her ears.

"Okay."

"You have streaks now."John said touching his forehead to hers.

"mmmm. It must be an after affect." John was about to make another comment when his coms sqawked to life. He could barely make out Dargo's voice over the static.

"John.....moya....wormhole."

John and Aeryn exchanged a worried glance and began starting up the pod. By the time they broke orbit moya was no where in sight. It was and empty void.

"Frell." They both said in unison. They were stranded on the planet, and low on fuel.

Kranick turned the corner to get to his ship when he ran smack into a scarren. Knocking him to the ground with a wave of heat, the scarren bent over him and asked,

"What happened here sebacean. Tell me or you will die a most painful death." The scarren snarled.

"Do you know Officer Aeryn Sun.?"Kranik said with fear.
