Getting to Know You Again (CH1)
By obi's girl
I know the over-all plot of the story. The fic takes place in a possible Season Finale 4 or some show in Season 4 of Farscape. John's daughter, Katralla's daughter, finds him just as John and Aeryn are getting back together and it causes some problems for Aeryn. I've had this idea for a while, and I just had to get the general idea down before I forget it.
If anyone has any ideas for a title, please let me know in reviews.
John Crichton stared out at the blank night sky in Tier 5. He had been on Moya about 4 standard cycles now. Of course, a week ago, he might not have been on Moya at all. They found Scorpious command carrier, docked above a Peace Keeper research facility.
He and Scorpious had a brief, really brief, confrontation. At first, John couldn't bring himself to kill him. The nuero chip in his head prevented him from doing anything drastic. Scorpious told him it was pointless to resist the chip, because it was strong than him, blah, and blah. But at the last minute, Aeryn showed up and blasted through his stomach, killing him instantly. The two of them stared at each other a moment, speechless. As he stared at her, he wasn't sure but he thought she saw her smile at him before running away to join the other.
But before that, he had tried countless times to talk to Aeryn. After losing the `other', no, his brother, the twin, Aeryn believed she lost the real John.
It wasn't until he decided to go after Scorpious, instead of hiding, he realized he that he reached her. She volunteered to go with him, along with Crais (which was also a huge shocker). He tried to talk to her as she left Pilot's Den to prepare, but she simply continued to her quarters, not looking back. He was so sure she had come around; it was wishful thinking she had but it looked he needed to try harder.

Aeryn Sun stood in the doorway, watching John as he contemplated the stars. The former Peace Keeper felt horrible about avoiding him, but she just wasn't ready. Not yet. She smiled. If Zhaan were still around, the Delvian would soothingly encourage her to talk to him, open line of communication. She gasped, walking onto the tier and standing beside him. He didn't look immediately at her, which made things easier.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" John mused, staring at the many stars, clusters and whatever else was there.
She nodded, smiling herself, "It is."
"I remember, when I was a kid, I'd sit up really late, just watching the sky. My mom would call to me to come inside and go to sleep, but I never came in. I just wanted to sit there and watch...and wander, what else was out there." He laughed to himself, still staring, "Probably every kid wandered the same thing, but I always believed there was more beyond our boundary." Finally, he turned to Aeryn and smiled, "And I found it...here with you."
Aeryn looked at him; really looked at him. She wanted to stay with him, stay in his arms as he rocked her back and forth, but again, the warrior inside of her wouldn't allow it. She turned and walked off the tier.
