Shay: Djari! What was that for?
Djari: Oh.. nothing... (hides pin)
Shay: Hand over the pin... I felt you do it!
Djari: (innocently) Do what?
Shay: (growls)

I REALLY hope this chapter stands up to the overwhelming praise of the last one! and now... chapter 16!

Sitting in the middle of an ocean wasn't particularly fun after a while. You know, yeah the ocean was all pretty and blue and stuff, but after a while, it got boring. Especially after 10,000 years of it. It was the same monotonous view day in and day out. Then something interesting had happened, after these 10,000 LONG years people had come. People from Earth no less, imagine that!

The city sighed. When people weren't poking around her, the Stargate was fooling around with something, gods know what. When that activity died, Atlantis spoke to Arynn, the entity that was the Chair and liaison to Atlantis' power. Arynn was a good friend and had been ever since her soul had been placed into the Power Chair to guard it.

But friends too became old after 10,000 years. After that long you run out of topics to talk about.

Recently, a little excitement had come into the life of Atlantis. The Stargate had covertly asked her to send off a message, out into space, without alerting anyone. Naturally suspicious of attempts like these, Atlantis had wondered why. The gate had told her that it was something humans called "humor" and had invited her to read it.

So Atlantis called up Arynn who, recently falling in love with the Earthling doctor, knew much more about "humor" than she did.

The two met in the realm in which Atlantis' soul and Arynn existed as pure energy and conversed over the topic known as a Guide. Arynn had laughed at length and tried to explain the humor to Atlantis. After some time, Atlantis had gotten the joke and sent off the message. When this act had been completed, the scientists started poking around, nervous that another rogue program had gotten out. The two women laughed and came up with a rather devious plan.

The Entity Hitchhiker's Guide to the Pegasus Galaxy

1. Don't intentionally drown yourself.

... a. It's not pretty.

... b. Do you really want to see three shades of blue and the occasional fish in all the time that you wait for someone to find you?

... c. Not really. It's boring.

2. If you're abandoned on a planet for an indefinite amount of time, beg your captors for more companions.

... a. Trust us, it'll be the smartest thing you've ever done. You'll be glad you did.

... b. After all, not every being has the luck of being stuck with Dr. Kavanaugh poking at your systems.

3. When in doubt, do not simply remove a clear crystal!

... a. This hurts and if you hurt the thing that's keeping you alive, sweet revenge will soon come your way.

4. When you know of certain, but interesting, dangers, don't tell anyone.

... a. It's most fun to watch people run away screaming.

... b. Besides, this act of aggression will tell nosy ones to stay out. Hopefully.

5. Watch your step.

... a. You never know what's gonna eat ya.

6. Protect other, less fortunate, entities.

... a. If you don't, well let us remind you why you should. We're entities meaning we're pure energy – we're going to come after you if you leave us to wither away.

... b. Last we checked subspace travel is no problem. We can be at your place before dinner.

7. Don't give away the secrets of your power in one blast.

... a. It's so much more fun to let it seep out slowly so no one actually knows what the full extent of your powers are.

... b. If you do let it all out, scientists will start asking questions and poking at you – mark my words.

Giggling, the two entities of Atlantis put the finish touches on their masterpiece. This was their first attempt at actually making humor and it was addictive. Realizing it would be too much of a risk to send the Guide over subspace, Atlantis put it onboard the Daedalus for transfer to a safe galaxy. She didn't need the Wraith knowing that she was alive.

Arynn cackled with mirth at the fact that they seemed very cruel, but it was more a Guide for entities and for how to survive your encounter with one.

Doing a little fist punch in their imaginary world, Arynn went back to the Chair and Atlantis went on patrolling her systems.

Maybe, Atlantis thought briefly, she would try a little humor on the humans. She wondered how they'd take to that…

She grinned evilly and crackled her fingers.

well? Love it? Hate it? So-so? PLEASE tell me!

I need to know how this is going and i need ideas!
