A/N: Okay, don't own Atlantis but I own the ghost so P
Just kidding, oh and in the beginning of every chapter is a bit of writing on the walls of John's room. And no they aren't really there in the series. I just put it to help with the story a bit. Those aren't mine either, they're the translation of the song, Hiru No Tsuki (White-Sand Moon) and that belongs to Arai Akino.
"One soundless mid-day,
the wind was so cheerful.
Flower petals swayed in the breeze
as if they were sleepy."
In Dreams or Reality?
Late at night, as all of Atlantis is at a slumber, a Major Sheppard awakens from his sleep to the sound of humming coming from the corridors outside his room. Sighing heavily, he gets out if bed, grabs a jacket, and takes a peek outside of his room. As the door slides open, his head pokes through his eyes scanning the hallway only to find it empty.
Frowning to himself, he heads back to bed, but as he heads into his room, he sees a tall slender figure standing outside his balcony looking back at him, a content expression on her face. Disbelief spreads across his face as the figure disappears, and awarm breeze sweepsthough the room.
'Well that doesn't happen everyday…' he thinks then goes to bed not wanting to think of it anymore.
As the major drifts off into sleep, the humming continues, but this time sounding more like a lullaby.
"Major you have a go." Dr. Weir says as she watches the major's team watch the event horizon shoot out like always.
As John's team steps through the gate, he looks back and waves to Weir then the wormhole disengages.
John looks around and sees trees, trees, trees, but the beautiful weather made up for it. Clear skies, nice breeze, he was starting to regret not bringing the 'jumper but then again, the village wasn't far.
"So, McKay what are we looking for?" he asks as they trod through the planet's forest.
"Well, we need food again remember? The Athosians don't think that this year's harvest will be enough for us both and you know, we don't want to be greedy." he says.
"Ah yes, I remember last time that happened. You drank a lot coffee because you wanted you're 'fair share' and in term, making you use the bathroom so much that we had a plumage problem." John says smiling at the though.
"Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later! Those bathrooms are thousands of years old. And it's better sooner so then we don't have to deal with it later!" he says defensively.
"I'd rather not deal with it at all." he says distastefully as they approach the village entrance. A young girl stands by the entrance to the village and does not move. "Excuse me." John says politely as he tries to pass thought without success.
The young girl looks at John and walks up to him, a serious yet innocent look on her face. "They are here. They will kill you, the traitors." she whispers into his ear then steps back as the bushes begin to shake and the Genii reveal themselves. Ford, Teyla, and McKay are all on alert but John looks at her in disbelief.
"You mustn't die, you must help me John!" she yells at him as Kolya cocks his gun and has it pointed towards his abdomen and fires.
"John!"
"John!"
He shakes his head, shocked a bit and turns around seeing Weir look at him with a confused yet annoyed look on her face.
"You have a go, now go!" she says looking as if she was about to laugh. He turns around and sees his team looking back at him strangely. They then enter the even horizon. As he was just about to step through the gate, he looks back and sees the same slender figure from last night looking back at him on the steps. He blinks pretending that he saw nothing and waves to Elizabeth.
As they arrive on the planet John looks around at the many trees, good weather and such and such and wonders a loud. "Hey McKay, have we been here before?"
"Nope." he says as he fiddles with the locator thing. They enter the forest and walk.
"Are you sure?" he says unsure.
"McKay's right sir, the only one who's been here before is Teyla." Ford says. John just shrugs and follows Teyla.
"Here it is the village of the Kilosians. I am sure they'd be more thanhappy to trade with us." Teyla says with a smile. Her smile fades quickly though as they become surrounded by Genii, Kolya being one of them.
"Look Kolya, I let you go once, I won't do it again." John warns as he steps closer.
"I don't think you're in the position to make such a threat Major." he says smiling. His smile fades just as quickly as a Wraith Dart flies over head. "Why now, of all times, why now!" Kolya says angrily.
"I will be back Sheppard." he says as his team regroups still pointing their weapons at them. "This," he shoots John in the stomach. "will remind you to watch out for the Genii."
John falls to the ground and Kolya's team leaves for the Stargate. Ford, Teyla, and McKay rush over to John who is unconscious.
"Teyla, get the villagers out of here!" Ford says as him and McKay lift John onto their shoulders and carry him to the gate.
A/N: I'm sorry if Kolya seems OOC. Not too use towriting his character. Review Please.
