"John! John can you hear me?" Aeryn command into her comm. He had just vanished right before her eyes into one of his frelling wormholes. "John?" Aeryn asked again voice barley above a whisper. She felt a wave of despair come over her she couldn't lose him again not like this not with the way things were between them. Aeryn shook her head she wouldn't lose him she wouldn't let that happen not again.

"Aeryn?" Dargo's voice sounded over the comm "What's happened?" he asked concern for his human friend obvious in his voice.

"John's gone" Aeryn replied shock started to wear off and peacekeeper training kicking in "Down one of his frelling wormholes" Sadness turning to anger in an instant. She had to do something she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Dargo as sensing Aeryn's next move replied over the comms "Aeryn don't do anything stupid" He never got a chance to finish his sentence before Aeryn had switched off her comm and had headed for her prowler.

Aeryn had just entered the maintenance bay when she saw Chiana standing in the room blocking her way to her prowler. Chiana looked nervous and also saddened and Aeryn guessed she had heard about Crichton but she also looked determined and Aeryn had a good feeling of what Chiana was going to say.

"Aeryn you can't go" she said voice strong "I won't let you" her voice was thick with emotion but held a sense of determination and fear despite Chiana's best efforts. Aeryn just sneered

"You think you can stop me Chiana?" Aeryn asked cocking her head to one side.

Chiana shifted her weight from foot to foot and gazed down at the floor "Physically we both know I can't stop you" Chiana looked up at Aeryn "but if you cared at all about Crichton then you would stop" Chiana said voice just above a whisper. Chiana knew she was playing on Aeryn's fears and emotions but she just hoped it would work otherwise she was going to get very friendly with Aeryn's fist.

Aeryn stopped dead in her tracks grief stricken "It's because I care that I have to go Chiana" Aeryn said softly voice full of pain "I have to help him." Aeryn paused for a moment biting her lip "I cant lose him" she said softly eyes moist looking straight at Chiana "I love him Chiana. I can't just leave him to die"

"Could of fooled me" Dargo's voice boomed from behind her "You seem to have no problem leaving him, hurting him, ignoring him why don't you just do him a favour and kill him already?" Dargo asked inches away from Aeryn.

Cold from grief and stung because she thought Dargo knew her better then that, Aeryn sank to the ground her emotional defences crumbling, letting the tears freely fall from her face.

Chiana dropped to the ground and put her arms around Aeryn pulling her closer to herself in a desperate attempt of consoling the ex peacekeeper

"Dargo what the hell is wrong with you?" Chiana snapped trying at the same time to quiet Aeryn's pain "She just watched the man she loved go down a frelling wormhole! She's desperate and she's worried she doesn't need this dren from you!" Chiana hissed at him.

Dargo growled rage bubbling over "What! And you think the rest of us are not worried? that we don't care? She should stop being so selfish and think of the rest of us!" Dargo snapped back voice raising "And if she loved him so much then why does she hurt him all the time? If anything has happened to him I will personally see to it that Aeryn doesn't live to tell the tale" He threatened and he then turned and began storming away "Make sure she stays on Moya Chiana" he growled back over his shoulder.

Chiana stared at his retreating form and shook her head sadly.

"Chiana" Aeryn said her voice quivering "I didn't mean for this to happen" Chiana rocked Aeryn back and forth like a child "This is not your fault Aeryn" Chiana said soothingly. Aeryn shook her head and stared at him "Dargo's right. Because of me he buried himself in the wormhole research. If it wasn't for me" Chiana cut Aeryn off "If it wasn't for you Aeryn, Crichton would have been killed by Crais on his first day out here. You saved him then and at other times as well, this is not your fault" Chiana repeated "This is not your fault"

Aeryn slowly raised from the floor, as did Chiana. Aeryn looked Chiana straight in the eye "Out of all the people in the universe Crais, Scorpious, Maldis, Scarrens, Peacekeepers, Nebari who ever thought that Officer Aeryn Sun would be the one to kill the famous John Crichton?" with that Aeryn turned on her heel and stormed out of the bay in obvious pain.

Well at lease she's still on Moya thought Chiana as she too slowly exited the bay

***************************************************

Aeryn slumped back against the wall. She had decided to remain on Moya for the time being and had buried herself in trying to figure out what had happened to Crichton. Aeryn threw down John's notebook where he had written down some of his wormhole knowledge, her English skills had not advanced enough for Aeryn to work out all the scientific dren he had written and from all the information she had gathered in the past four arns (from going through Moya's data banks and the Farscape 1) was that the wormhole or more specifically a wormhole was going to open but she had no idea when or where. Aeryn heard soft footsteps coming towards her and knew instantly it was Chiana coming to check up on her.

"Aeryn" Chiana said calmly as trying to sooth a child's tantrum "Found anything?" she asked hope in her voice.

Aeryn shook her head regarding Chiana's presence but keeping her gaze locked straight ahead "Nothing. All I know is that a wormhole will open up when, where, how or which wormhole will open is still a mystery" she replied her voice mixed with fatigue and sadness. Chiana just nodded and let a silence hang in the air before picking up the convocation again.

"Dargo has been doing scans of the area for the past few arns" Chiana paused and shook her head "But its fruitless he can't find anything and Moya can not detect him anywhere near us" Chiana added sadly. Aeryn just nodded

"Rygel suggested that maybe you would like to take your prowler out just to make sure he's not out there," Chiana said slowly

Aeryn would of laughed at the thought of Rygel actually caring about anyone but himself, but regretted the thought immediately after, Rygel had changed just as much as the rest of them and Aeryn was not in a laughing mood.

"He won't be there Chiana we both know that it would be a waste of time" she said voice soft but no emotion.

Chiana looked uncomfortable "we have to hope Aeryn" Chiana said kneeling down next to Aeryn. Aeryn rose quickly from her place on Moya's floor. "Fine" She snapped "I will go and I will find the wormhole and then¡K" Aeryn trailed off unsure of what she was actually going to do after she found the wormhole, She shrugged she would figure that out later after she found Crichton. Aeryn sprinted to her prowler, leaving Chiana alone once again, lost in her own misery.

***************************************************

Aeryn stared at the blackness of space through the prowler's screen and looked at the stars. The stars were just a chemical reaction as far as she had been concerned when she had been a peacekeeper, but when john had come tumbling into her world after he had taught her compassion, truth, love, understanding those stars had become more to her. Again her mind drifted back to her time on Tayln with the other John how he had told her that she was his guiding star, the centre of his universe, and how much she wished that this John would tell her the same as he had. That she was his world, that he cared and he wouldn't leave. Aeryn almost laughed fat chance she muttered, that wasn't going to happen not in this lifetime anyway.

"Aeryn!!" pilot practically screamed at her through her comm, which was very unlike pilot.

Then the prowler systems in the prowler started beeping and screaming at her as Aeryn tried desperately to figure out what the frell was going on. "PILOT??" Aeryn screamed desperately but Pilot never got the chance to reply before Aeryn and the prowler were engulfed by a wormhole.

***************************************************

Aeryn shook her head trying to shake the dizziness that she felt, which made her groan in pain. She slowly opened her eyes and quickly closed them again, her head felt like it had exploded but still seemed to heavy for her neck to hold. Then what had happened came back to her. Pilot screaming over her comm and then a flash of blue light and then blackness. Aeryn managed to open her eyes then, and slide herself over to the prowlers view screen and what she saw shocked her. John Crichton. He was right there in front of her eyes. Aeryn quickly activated her comm "John?" Aeryn commanded into her comm voice full of hope "John!" she called again fear creeping into her voice, still no reply. Aeryn moved the prowler closer to John's form. "John?" she called again this time there was a groan from the other end of the line. Aeryn couldn't understand a word he was trying to say but Crichton's voice was enough for her and she quickly scooped Crichton up from space and brought him into her prowler.

***************************************************

"Pilot what the hell happened?" D'Argo asked furiously "What do you mean you don't know where she is?"

The whole crew (minus Scorpy and Sikozu) had gathered in Commanded after Pilot had commed them all and tolled them about Aeryn's disappearance.

"I am sorry captain" Pilot replied voice full of sadness "But like Commander Crichton she seems to have vanished down a wormhole"

"Do you know if she's alive?" Chiana asked. Pilot just shook his head from over the clam shell "I am unaware if she is still alive or not Chiana however judging by our past experiences and the facts, if Crichton is still alive then Aeryn should be too"

"D'Argo what do you want us to do?" Asked Rygel

"We cannot do anything until we know more information. Aeryn was unable to find any valuable information from John's notes and she was the only one of us who can read any English" Dargo informed them.

"Scorpious might know something," Rygel said casually

"What makes you say that?" Chiana asked

"He tortured him for weakens and he did extract information from Harvey, he would know something"

D'Argo nodded " get him in here"

***************************************************

"John" Aeryn called quietly. Crichton had been unconscious when she had gotten him onboard. She had asses him for damages and when she found none she assumed he had passed out from lack of air. She had taken off his suit so he was left with his black t-shirt and leather pants and had laid him on the floor close to the back and was waiting for him to regain consciousness.

"Aeryn?" he whispered Aeryn sat herself on the ground next to him "what happened?" he asked "why are you out here?"

Aeryn stared at the ground for a moment the distance between them obvious at that moment. They were very awkward around each other and Aeryn hated it. "I got shot through a wormhole" she answered back. God that sounded familiar how many times had she heard that line? Crichton seemed to be reading her thoughts and let out a laugh relieving the tension between them. "God wonder what that's like" he croaked "Aeryn what do you know about the planet we are orbiting?" he asked sitting up. Aeryn stared at him for a moment and tucked her hair behind her ear "seems to be a commerce planet of some sort. There are life signs but no space travel coming in or out of the planet," she said quickly. Crichton nodded " When you were on Tayln what did he ever tell you about Earth?" he asked pain in his voice. Aeryn really didn't want to go there at that moment "Why?" she asked not wanting to remember. Crichton let out a sigh and looked her in the eyes "We are orbiting Earth" he replied

***************************************************

"Let me get this straight" D'Argo roared "You went through Crichton's mind more times then I can count and you can't read his frelling language?"

"I am sorry Ka D'Argo but that was not the information that I needed from John, I had no use for it so I never extracted that information" he replied

"What about the wormhole information? You needed that" D'Argo replied

"Yes I did. But I never mastered it. I can make a wormhole but not a stable one, which is very useless to this cause"

"Let me reminded you Scorpious you are here because of Aeryn, If she dies you die" D'Argo cocked his head to one side "Have I made myself clear?"

Scorpious just nodded

***************************************************

"E-Earth" Aeryn stuttered "This is-is Earth?"

Crichton nodded "Yeah, we need to find out the date and a few other things before we go down"

Crichton was checking the prowler's systems while Aeryn just stood in the middle of the craft in complete shock.

"WE did you say we?" Aeryn asked terrified.

Crichton looked at her then and was shocked to see how frightened she was "Aeryn?" he asked, "What's wrong"

Whatever had made Aeryn stay in shock had just worn off but the fear was still in her eyes and she just shook her head "Nothing, Nothing at all" she said quickly as she climbed into the pilot's seat "Let's go down to Earth"

Crichton eyed her strangely and nodded "I'll direct you where to go" Aeryn nodded in reply

***************************************************

The prowler swum through the Earth's night sky like a magnificent bird soaring in the wind. Aeryn carefully landed the prowler in a small forest of trees away from any populated areas.

Aeryn surveyed her surroundings. The smells and the noises were basically the same here as many other planets she had visited, but this time it was so new and different and she knew it was because of John, because this was Earth.

"Come on" John said softly "we need to leave our guns here" he added snapping Aeryn out of her thoughts. Aeryn's Peacekeeper training kicked in then "Have you gone farbot?!" Aeryn hissed at him "I'm not going any where unarmed"

Crichton sighed "Unless you brought a long coat when you came through the wormhole we have nothing to conceal our weapon's and it is illegal to carry guns without a license on Earth" he whispered back. After about fifteen minutes of arguing with Aeryn she finally gave in and left her weapon in the Prowler. Crichton and Aeryn had been walking for about half an arn in silence when they reached a small country town. They both looked very out of place in their black leather and drew a few stares as they slowly walked into the town's bar.

They entered the bar but something seemed off to Crichton. This bar looked the same as most country bars he had been too, but it had an odd feeling to it, a kind of strange vibe and then he found out why.

"Aeryn we've got to go" he said turning abruptly and leading her out the door and leaving the bar as quickly as he could. It wasn't until half way down the street that Aeryn managed to shake her arm out of his grasp and stop him walking.

"John?" Aeryn hissed "What the frell is wrong with you?" she asked, "Your frighting me what is going on?"

John turned to her and looked into Aeryn's eyes he smiled sadly when he saw the fear and worry in them "Aeryn it is the year 1968" he informed her. Aeryn shrugged "why is that a problem? How long have you been gone?" she asked.

Crichton sat down on a park bench and pulled Aeryn down beside him, he stared into her eyes and spoke softly to her it reminded Aeryn of her time on Tayln she would of smiled if it wasn't for the fear that she was feeling, what had John so frightened?

"Aeryn" John said slowly as if struggling for words "I haven't gone yet" Aeryn stared at him taking in the information "So there's two of you, when is the Farscape mission scheduled?" she asked still not seeing what was so wrong, she was sure that if he talked to his father that they would be all right "When he sees you look exactly like his son he will believe you if that's what you are worried about" Aeryn replied

"Aeryn" John started again. Aeryn was growing confused and frightened more then had been already "John, if there is something wrong then just spit it out? We need your fathers help why don't we just get this over and done with?"

"Aeryn, its 1968" John started again, Aeryn shrugged "I'm not following your repeating the date what does it mean?"

"Aeryn I left in the Farscape in 1999" Aeryn shrugged still missing the point "So its 29 days before you left"

John sighed "Aeryn it's 29 years before I left" Crichton stared at Aeryn's face waiting for her reaction "29 years" voice barely above a whisper. Crichton nodded. "Aeryn, Earth hasn't even been to the moon yet" Aeryn stared at him. "Oh" she looked back at him "oh frell" Crichton nodded "Yep, frell"

************************************************ Leslie Crichton was just finishing cooking the evening meal. She separated half of the meal onto two plates one for her four year son John and one for herself. Her husband Jack was working late again, he was in the running for the first ever man to land on the moon and she hadn't seen him at all for the past three weeks. Shame Leslie thought to herself he has two twin girls almost one and he's missing out on so much of there growing up, not to mention his son. Leslie sighed this was important to her husband and she would stand by him even if she didn't agree with his decisions.

"John" Leslie called from the back porch "Dinner is ready" As soon as he heard the word dinner the small child came bolting inside "Is daddy gonna come home for dinner?" he asked throwing his arms around his mum's waist and looking up at her with innocent eyes. Leslie sighed sadly "Come on now Johnny you know your fathers working real hard right now" John looked down at the ground Disappointment clear on his face "I know" he whimpered "Come on now" said his mother "Go wash up for dinner and don't wake up your sisters I only just got them to sleep" John bolted up the stairs the childish grin back on his face "ok mamma". Leslie smiled she had the most beautiful son. I wonder what he'll be Leslie thought to herself Doctor, athlete, insurance man, Leslie wrinkled her nose up in disgust at the mention of an insurance man but then shrugged it off the possibilities were endless, just as long as he's happy she thought to herself.

***************************************************

Aeryn stared at Crichton they had decided to rent a room at a hotel. They had decided to "borrow" some money from a past out drunk on the sidewalk, and being the sixties there were a lot of past out drunks to choose from. They had also brought some clothes from a local store to make them blend in more and Aeryn couldn't help but laugh at John's appearance. John Crichton was dressed in blue jeans that were designed to "flair out" at the bottom, well that was what John had said, he was also dressed in a blue and yellow striped shirt that hung loosely around his form. Aeryn was disgusted at her outfit as well, she was wearing a long white gown down to her ankles, with something called "spaghetti straps" and a very plunging neck line, as well as some kind of foot wear with bells on it that Crichton had called "Sandals" Aeryn was quickly snapped out of her thoughts by a groan from the other side of the room.

"John?" she called but there was no reply he was just standing in the middle of the room, staring at the walls.

"John?" Aeryn called again

John slowly twisted his neck around to look at her, he looked her square in the eyes.

"John!!" Aeryn screamed

As she saw him fall to the floor

"John" she screamed again. But Crichton couldn't hear her he had already lapsed into unconscious
