Hey guys. Here's a new chapter! They're back on Earth and meeting John's family (dûh!). I don't know anything about John's family, other than that is father is Jack Crichton and how he looks like and stuff. I don't though know if he has any siblings or such. I've noticed that in other stories the name Olivia comes up a lot as (one of) John's sister(s). I don't know if that's just coincidence, but I think it's not. However, I think that's probably from some episode I haven't seen yet and therefore I don't know her. Seeing that I'm the perfectionist I am, I don't like to do things halfway. Therefore, I decided I'd just make up my own siblings for him and not copy her personality from what I've seen in other fics. I hope you don't mind. Oh and Lisa, I don't know if they're gonna stay on Earth or not, but I'll try to keep it a bit realistic and put some angst in here instead of making it go fairy tale. Okay here it goes! Enjoy!

,,Where are we?" John gets out of the Farscape I and looks around at the people on the square they landed on. Next to him Aeryn also climbs out of the Farscape and jumps down next to him. Her Prowler is hidden in a nearby forest, not too close, but close enough to be used as an escape route should something go wrong, and equipped with their latest design of a camouflage shield.

,,We're at the shopping mall near my dad's house, it's like a commerce planet only smaller." Crichton answers, inhaling the smell of his home planet. ,,Ah, it even smells like home. Sure, it isn't like the countryside, but hey, at least it has people. Friendly people, frell, any people that don't shoot within ten microts of seeing us are friendly people!" Aeryn smiles, enjoying the sight of her lover as he bathes in the feel of this familiar place. After a few microts Crichton comes out of his musings and realizes a lot of people are staring at them. ,,Hey! What're ya looking at? Never seen a spaceship before? Oh, right, you probably haven't. Well, if you wanna hear all about it, return tomorrow at noon. Bring your families, notify the media, whatever ya want! I'll tell you all about it, then." He chuckles softly as he sees everyone's attention on him. ,,Come on, baby. Let's get out of here." And under an eerie silence they leave the plaza.

Half an arn later they stop in front of a large house with the number 16 on it. ,,This is my dad's house." John walks to the front door and rings the bell. It takes a few moments for the door to open, but then he looks in the face of a tall man that he doesn't know.

,,Hello?" The man asks after a while and John suddenly realizes he had been silent for a few microts.

,,Hey, can I talk to Jack Crichton?"

,,Who are you?"

,,I'm John. John Crichton."

,,John Crichton died over two and a half years ago." John is about to launch in an annoyed explanation of how he didn't die, but got shot through a wormhole, but a voice from within the house stops him.

,,Kevin? Who's at the door? If it's Caroline, tell her I'll be out in a minute."

,,Sorry to disappoint ya, sis, but it ain't Caroline." They hear a loud thump inside and then a short silence before a small blond woman with remarkable brown eyes appears in the doorway.

,,John?"

,,Yeah, Sarah, it's me." The sibling stare at each other for a few microts before Sarah breaks out of the stare and her face lights up in a smile.

,,Oh god, it's really you!" She squeaks and leaps forward to give her long lost brother a hug.

,,I missed you too, sis."

,,Come in, don't just stand there!" And John and Aeryn follow her inside, whilst Kevin gives Aeryn a searching look before going after them.

Once inside, the euphoria of seeing her brother again wears off and Sarah is suddenly lost for words. There is an uncomfortable silence for a while in which the tension rises. Getting enough of it, John decides to break it.

,,So, who're you?" The question is aimed at Kevin.

,,I'm Kevin Burkley."

,,He's my husband."

,,Oh." It's quiet again.

,,What happened?" This time Sarah breaks the silence.

,,You know that experiment? When I was trying out a slingshot-move?" Both Sarah and Kevin nod. ,,Well, I got shot through a wormhole. I kinda got stuck on the other side of the galaxy. For two and a half cycle I tried to figure out a way to get home. I finally did it. I learned how to create another wormhole. So here I am." He looks around to see the astonished faces of his sister and her husband. ,,I'll give ya a longer explanation once dad gets here. Where is he anyway? And can I call DK, I think he'd want to hear this too."

,,Dad moved. We live here now." Sarah can't get out much because she is still in a daze.

,,And DK?" That question somehow seems to pull her out of her shock for her eyes become clear again and she exchanges a look with Kevin before continuing.

,,I'm sorry, John, but he died about a year ago."

,,How?"

,,Car accident. A drunk driver who didn't see him. He was dead within seconds." John doesn't get to answer for the bell rings. Sarah gets up and opens the door. Before she can say as much as 'hello', Jack Crichton rushes past her, bursting into a flood of words.

,,Turn on the TV, they're showing reports of John landing at the mall. He and a wo-" He abruptly comes to a halt when he spots John and Aeryn.

,,Hey dad." For the third time that day, the room is filled with silence.

,,John, do your people always have such long pauses between talking? I've never noticed it in you, you never shut up." Sarah, Kevin and Jack look kind of shocked at Aeryn, the former two had totally forgotten about her. John however bursts out laughing.

,,No babe. Usually not. We just don't know what to say."

,,What did she say?"

,,She asked why we kept falling silent. Oh, we forgot those translator microbes. Where are they?" John searches his pockets to find the tiny syringe filled with fluid containing the special translator microbes. After a few microts of futile search Aeryn rolls her eyes and fishes the needle from his right pants pocket and holds it in front of his eyes. ,,Oh right. There you go Aeryn." He injects her with the microbes and then returns his attention back to the other people in the room. ,,Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Aeryn, my sister Sarah, her husband Kevin and my dad, who I'm sure you remember. Sarah, Kevin and dad, meet the lovely Aeryn Sun."

,,Hello." Aeryn says in perfect English and giving a slight nod by way of greeting. This time the silence lasted even longer than the other three.

To Be Continued

Explanation: I didn't think Sparky's clarification of: ,,translator microbes colonize at the base of the brain and allow us to understand each other." Tells us much, so I decided to give it a go and try to come up with an explanation myself. So, a quarter of an arn and a bit of surfing on the net to get some facts straight (as you can see there weren't many of those) later and I had a well-thought-through rationalization. The way I figured, the sebaceans and scarrans and everybody hadn't met any humans before, so they, and by extension the translator microbes, didn't know English. I can't remember if D'Argo and the others understood John when he first came aboard Moya, but I believe not. I think they couldn't understand him until he had translator microbes. In the episode where D'Argo tries to communicate with his ship, which speaks ancient Luxan, Pilot says he downloaded all the knowledge in Moya's database about ancient Luxan into some translator microbes and had a DRD inject D'Argo with them, so he'd be able to understand a bit of what the ship is saying. Based on that, it's obvious that the translator microbes can only translate something they're familiar with and they weren't familiar with English. Okay, here's where my explanation comes in. I think the translator microbes implanted in John, learned within seconds the rules of English, but they couldn't transfer that knowledge to the rest of the translator microbes, so instead of just translating what the others said and leaving the other translator microbes to translate what John said, instead they translated everything John said, as it was leaving his brain, into Sebacean or Nebari or Luxan or whatever language that they did know, so the others could understand it. Okay, a quick recap, that means that John thought in English, but spoke, without knowing it, in an alien language, thanks to the translator microbes. Got it so far? All right. Now, because they wanted Aeryn to speak English, Pilot replaced one of John's original translator microbes for a new one and downloaded the info from this microbe to Moya's database, so that now also contained a translation to English. Using that knowledge, he then created translator microbes that also understood English and those John implanted in Aeryn. Those microbes were programmed especially so that if she came into contact with someone who spoke English, they would do the same thing with Aeryn that John's microbes had been doing with him, meaning she now spoke English when around humans. And John of course spoke English again around other people that spoke it. I hope this makes any sense to you and that you can follow this.

(PS. I just finished watching Bog with two Bones, and you know what? I frelling hate season finale's! Actually, not so much the whole episode, I actually like the finales, but then there's just the last five or ten minutes of those which I hate! First there was the last episode of Alias' season two yesterday, that whole vanishing-for-two-years-and-coming-back-to- find-Vaughn-married-thing. Ugh! And now here with Farscape. I actually liked those two episodes I just described, except for the last minutes, is this just to keep it exciting? To make us watch next time? Or do they actually think we like this? I kind of hate Alias at the moment, all because of that stupid finale! Huh. Okay, I'm cooled off now. I hope you like this story and please review).
