Note: Sorry for the delay, but I've got classes, homework and roleplay writing stuff to keep me busy. Hope this little John & Sam scene helps. It's part one of two of a scene that's been on my mind for a while, but I've just never got around to it.

John looked out the window as he sipped his coffee. He was so used to seeing nothing but the stretch of ocean for so long, that the view of outside world full of people, cars, bridges and buildings just didn't seem.. right anymore.. He couldn't explain it.. It just was so unnatural.. Not at all like the worlds in Pegasus either. Maybe it also took into account his time before Atlantis and seeing nothing but snow in Antarctica also helped him feel alienated on his own homeworld.

Sam watched him with curiosity as she drank her own coffee across from him. She remained silent for a few minutes as John took in the view then decided to speak. "How are you liking Earth, John?" She asked.

"It's.. Strange.." He looked at her for a moment trying to piece together how he felt. He was never really good at this type of thing.
"Takes a while to get used too."

Sam nodded. "I know.. New Lantea was so peaceful.. Here it's busy and alive. Can be noisy too."

John leaned back. "You know what I miss the most?... Taking a Puddle Jumper out and flying over her calming oceans. Blue waves as far as the eye could sea.. It was nice.." He looked over to Sam. "You?"

Sam shrugged. "I've flown a lot of things, but a Puddle Jumper wasn't one of them."

John raised an eyebrow. "Never? Why?"

"I hadn't gotten the gene in time." She admitted. "I got it right around the time I had too leave."
Sam looked distant. "I didn't know then it was a one way trip back home.."

John thought for a moment then decided. "Then let's do it!"

Sam frowned confused. "Do.. What?.."

He grinned. "You're going to fly a Jumper."

Sam sat up. "Uh.. Really?.." She looked around. "Now?..."

He pushed him self up and away from the table. "Well no time like the present."
He offered her his had. "Come on Carter." John gave her his best lazy smile.
"I'm gonna teach you too fly."
