Hello people, this story follows after the events in Infinite Possibilities II: Icarus Abides. I, and probably a lot of you too, thought that that episode sucked, well, not so much the episode itself, which I liked, but the fact that Crichton dies in the end. I never liked the whole cloning thing, because I knew from the beginning that one of them would die and that that would probably be the wrong one. But to make a long story short, I decided to 'fix' the ending of this episode, so I came up with this. I hope you all like it and review.

,,Don't worry about me. I've never felt better." John whispers. He blinks once more before remaining still. Her eyes welling up once again, Aeryn closes his eyes and pulls the blood red blanket around her, huddling closer to the still warm body of her lover. Mourning for her one true love.

John can feel the life slowly going out in him, his cells dying from the radiation and his soul slipping away. His whole body is going numb, but he can still feel the kiss, Aeryn's kiss lingering on his lips. He tries to tell her he loves her one last time, but realizes he can't move, he can't feel his body, and everything is suddenly gone. His world is black for a moment until he feels something in his mind shifting and he sees all blue around him.

,,Zhaan?" He calls out the first thing coming to mind, noticing that he seems to be able to speak, although there's something different about it.

,,Yes, John." Her voice, like all he sees and feels, seems to be strange and familiar at the same time.

,,Where are we?"

,,Don't you remember this?" Suddenly he becomes aware of he fact that he doesn't seem to hear her, but rather sense her words.

,,Unity?"

,,Yes."

,,But I am dead?"

,,Almost. I was able to perform unity with you just before you died."

,,Why?"

,,Because I have a way to bring you back to life."

,,Whoa! What do you mean, bring me back?"

,,John, do you remember what Kaarvok did?"

,,Of course I do! He twinned me. He made two perfect replicas of me."

,,That was his intention, but he failed to see the effect his technique has on humans. It seems you are a bit harder to twin. Instead of making two perfect replicas he made one clone. What you thought in the beginning is true, you are the real Crichton."

,,I'm the real Crichton? I guess that should make me feel a bit better if I wasn't dead."

,,Patience, John. You see, because the other Crichton is your clone and not your twin, he doesn't have the same life expense you do. His mind will soon shut down, leaving his body as a kind of... I believe you call it a 'zombie'."

,,Great, I'm dead and the only piece of me left is gonna turn into a zombie. Any more wonderful news, Zhaan?"

,,Your body is dying, but your mind and soul are still alive. So if we transport all the life energy from your clone to you, you will be able to live on."

,,You mean like, what you did with Aeryn?"

,,I believe that's an suitable comparison."

,,Hang on a microt, Zhaan. That would mean he'd die so I could live!"

,,That's true."

,,I can't do that."

,,He doesn't have much time to live either way."

,,I don't care, I can't let him die so I can live."

,,John, if you were in his position, what would you say?"

,,I'd tell him to stop standing around and get on with it." John says after a bit of hesitation.

,,Precisely John, I suggest you take your own advice." Zhaan replies gently.

,,Alright, what do I have to do?" He reluctantly agrees.

Aeryn had fallen asleep against Crichton's body, her dreams plagued with images of his staring eyes, seeing nothing, his body cold and stiff in a coffin, seemingly at peace, but dead nonetheless. Between those horrifying figures she sees pieces of their lives, their happy times and their arguments, how they got to know each other and fall in love, her death and his.

She wakes up expecting to feel his cold flesh, as a cruel reminder of his death, but instead feels his body warm as hers. She must only have been asleep for a little while then, so that his body hadn't had time to cool off. A lone tear escapes her eyes, rolling down her cheek. Suddenly she comes to the realisation that someone is stroking her hair, his hand gently smoothing away the locks that had escaped her braid.

,,Don't cry, baby, I'm right here." His voice says, a finger softly wiping away her tear. She opens her eyes, anticipating the sight of his dead body and the awareness that she just imagined his presence. Instead she sees his eyes smiling down at her, his hand continuing to caress her hair.

,,John?" She is still afraid that he'll disappear at any moment, leaving nothing but the emptiness in her heart and a bereft feeling where his body touches hers.

,,It's me, baby."

,,How?"

,,Zhaan brought me back. She did a unity thing." Not caring any longer how he's back, she smiles broadly and kisses him, needing the reassurance that it's real. The kiss is gentle and comforting, giving serenity to both of them. John softly breaks it, looking at her instead, his eyes not dead and staring like in her dream, but loving. They stay like that for a long time, until Aeryn drifts of to sleep once again, her dreams this time filled with happiness.

Crichton feels strange, somewhat floating. One microt he is at Moya and then suddenly the world turns black and he feels as though the gravity is gone. He opens his eyes to see all blue around him.

,,Hello?" He calls out, trying to figure out what happened. He knows he isn't on Moya anymore, the gravity for one, but also the strange blue all around him. On top of that he has the feeling that he knows this place, like he's been there before, although he can't remember where or when.

,,Yes John."

,,Zhaan? Where are we? What am I doing here?"

,,I'll explain everything. Do you remember what Kaarvok did?"

Aeryn looks at John, he had just finished telling her how Zhaan had helped him get back to life. They stay in companionable silence for a few microts, in which Aeryn contemplates all he just told her. Still, there is something wrong. She can feel it. John is keeping something from her, something he feels bad about.

,,I'm glad you're back." She says, drawing lazy patterns on his cheek with one finger.

,,Me too."

,,Me too." He is happy to be alive, but he can't shake off the feeling that he shouldn't be here, that he made the wrong decision. He can't help but feel guilty for the other John.

,,What's wrong?" Aeryn finally asks.

,,Nothing." She looks at him sternly, not letting go of the subject.

,,I know something's bothering you, John. What is it?" Crichton sighs before answering.

,,I just can't help but feel guilty."

,,For what?"

,,The other John is dead because of me."

,,He wouldn't have much of a life after his brain shut down anyway." Her voice is soft, comforting.

,,But he would be alive."

,,John, remember when those Peacekeepers invaded Moya and we had to turn on the heat to drive them out? I made you promise to kill me before the Living Dead occurred. I would rather die than become a 'zombie'." He knows she means well and wants him to feel better, but his guilt won't go away. Suddenly he hears his own voice in his head. I don't blame you. It's better this way. The voice is soft, like a whisper. ,,What?" He realises Aeryn had been talking and is now staring at him, wondering what the strange expression on his face means.

,,I heard him."

,,Who?"

,,The other John, he told me that he didn't blame me. That it's for the best." Aeryn smiles up at him, relieved to see that the gloom expression on his face has made way for a happier one. ,,Now, about before I died. What did you say about coming with me to Earth?" He says, smiling back at her, his eyes sparkling once again.
