Disclamer: I own none of the characters or words, I just put them in an order that I enjoyed

by Kevin P aka CBlacksman

PG13

Let me set the mood.

Moya is basking in the glow of a Yellow dwarf star, with her observation deck open. As you get closer you start to see a tall dark figure sitting in the middle. Closer yet, you can make out that it is Crichton, he is sitting with his legs spread, and leaning back onto his elbows with his head tilted even further back talking into his recorder.

John: (sigh) Dad, I have been out here for a long time now, I cant even remember the last time we had talked. It seems with every passing day I lose another ounce of hope of ever returning. This whole time, this ship, this crew has become my family. It gives me new hope though.

John pauses to look at the star

John: You know it's strange, how much I want to go home..home, I dont even know where home is. Here, or Earth. Moya is incredable, she can take humanity to places we have only wrote about...

Aeryn passes by the door and notices John sitting in the light

John: Maybe one day we will see each other again, and you can meet her...

Aeryn stops in her tracks and hides by the door

John: She is everything you could think of and more...

Just then Rygel and Jool approach Aeryn.

Jool: You really shouldnt be evesdropping, none of us have any real privacy out here. Let him enjoy it while it lasts.

Rygel looks at Aeryn and says in a sarcastic voice: I long for this human, but he is not the John I fell in love with before.

Aeryn snaps a look in his direction. Rygel realizes he better get out of there and starts piloting his hoverchair down the corridor. Aeryn gives it a shove to help him along quickly.

John oblivous to whats going on: One day we might ride her together, do things you never dreamed possible...

Aeryns mood quickly changes from thoughtfull to pissed off Peacekeeper bitch and tries to enter the room but Jool grabs ahold of her arm.

John still oblivous: Explore as father and son.

Aeryn cant hold back the anger anymore and ripps her arm from Jools grasp. She storms into the room

Aeryn: (Pissed) What in frell are you talking about? I dont know the mating rituals of humans, but we subbacians dont agree with, sharing.

Startled John stands up: Whoa, whoa ....

Aeryn: I will not whoa whoa, you listen, there is now way now that I will go with you if your people are like that.

John: Lay off spaceranger, let me explane..

Aeryn: Ive heard enough, you stay clear of me.

She storms out of the room with John following

John: Let me explane!!!

but she doesn’t stop. John stops by the door and watches her tromp down the corridor kicking and shoving things out of her way. He walks back to the knocked over recorder still recording.

John: Dad, in case you microbes didnt translate that, it wasnt good. Perhaps the three of us will be able to laugh about this someday.

John is knocked off his feet when Moya suddenly jarrs.

"Half of it" part 2 "More of it"

We rejoin our hero's now.

D'argo: Pilot, what was that? Are we under attack?

Pilot: No, I cant understand.

Chiana: Well, something happened, I got knocked clean out of my berthing chamber.

Pilot: We have a problem, Moya is not talking to me. She just keeps repeating its him, its him.

Aeryn: Talyn? Is she talking about Talyn, he is right behind us.

Pilot: I dont know officer Sun, Moya is trying to starburst, but she has'nt had the time to recharge herself.

John: Pilot, I'm on my way.

John starts running toward Pilots chamber. As he reaches the door to Pilots room Jool stops him.

Jool: I dont think it would be wise to go in there. I saw what happend in the observation bay, she's more mad than D'argo when he found you playing with his qualtablade

D'argo: Something that I havent yet forgotten.

D'argo pushes John out of the way and enters Pilots chamber.

D'argo: Pilot, when will Moya be able to starburst?

Pilot: Within the arn.

Jool looks at John and puts her hand on his shoulder: Dont worry, when she finishes venting, she'll understand. It's just that she is, well, you know that time.

John: Great, thats what we need right now, intergalactic PMS.

With Johns back to the door he doesnt see Aeryn standing behind him.

Aeryn: Pardon me, but for you information Jool It is not "My time", and I would appreciate it if you both stayed out of my business!

(Talk about the pot calling the kettle black)

John: Wait a minute, hold on! What do you call that on the observation deck then, huh?

Aeryn: I dont need to explane myself to you.

Aeryn throws her arms up in disgust and storms off

Jool looks back at John: See.

At that time Chiana walks by

Chiana: You really messed things up this time flyboy.

John: Stay out of this Pip.

Chiana walks off with a smile on her face looking back.

John and Jool enters Pilots room: Pilot, whats going on?

Pilot: Like I said, I dont know, she keeps repeating its him, its him.

John: When you figure it out let me know.

Moya suddenly lists and give a violent shake

John: PILOT!!!

Pilot: I cant help it, she is routing all power to starburst.

D'argo: Pilot, how much time?

Pilot: Five hundred Microns. Maybe less.

John: See if you cant stop her.

Pilot: To late, prepair for starburst.

The end, of part 2 anyway. More to come.

"Half of it" part 3 "Even more of it"

For those still tuned in, here you go.

In a cold empty void of space all things were quiet. A bright flash, and a hole opened with the nose of a Leviathan coming through. Moya lists slightly and glides to a halt.

Pilot: We are out of starburst.

D'argo: When can Moya starburst again?

Pilot: Not for at least three arns if she keeps routing power.

John: Pilot, you sure about that or is it another (Sarcasticaly) five hundred microns.

Pilot: I am sure.

John: Good, I am going for a drive to cool off. Inform me if anything happens, anything Pilot.

He exits the room and heads towards the docking bay.

On the bridge Aeryn is looking out into the stars. Chiana gives out a cough to let Aeryn know she is there. Aeryn slowly turns around.

Aeryn: It's ok.

Chiana: You want to talk about it?

Aeryn: No, well maybe, yeah. I dont know. We were getting so close, but then this... It just doesnt make sense why humans want to share their mates.

Aeryn turns to see Farscape 1 fly past the bow of Moya.

Aeryn: I..., I got the impression that they were like sabbacians...

Chiana: Aeryn, it is not like that. If you just...

Aeryn: Just what, give him a chance? I have given him every chance, but he keeps... (Frustrated) Ahhhhh

Chiana: I have talked with him....

Aeryn: You should stay out of this, he has hurt me bad enough.

Chiana: Well, if you wont listen to me, then listen to Moya and Pilot.

Chiana turns and walk off. Aeryn continues to watch the module flying about.

Aeryn (to herself): Is it me? He tries hard to win me, but what am I to him? A prize, a shiny trinket for him to flaunt about? I dont know, maybe it is me.

Aeryn: Pilot, can I talk to you.

Pilot: Of course.

Meanwhile in the cargo bay

D'argo: Rygel, Chiana, I need your help in the cargo bay, our supplies are scattered all over the place.

Rygel is in Johns room snooping about

Rygel: You take care of it, I have more.. important things to take care of. Rygel continues to try to look through Johns room

Chiana and D'argo are in the cargo bay finishing up the cleaning.

D'argo: I hope pilot can figure what is wrong with Moya before she kills us all trying to starburst.

Chiana finishes putting up the last box of supplies and turns to D'argo Chiana: I am more cons.......

Moya Shakes even more violently than ever before and all the supplies fall back down onto the floor.

Chiana: I say we just leave this all here until this is over with.

Back with Pilot and Aeryn Aeryn is sitting on the floor with her back resting on Pilots console.

Aeryn: Pilot, does Moya know what John was talking about before I blew up on him?

Pilot: Yes, but you said earlier, to keep out of your business, I suggest you share the same respect for John.

Aeryn: I agree, but I must know, if I was wrong?

Pilot: If you need to know, you should ask him. I hear everything on this ship, (sigh) even Rygels um "brief solo recreating sessions" (The comment brought a smile to both of their faces.), everybody has to trust me on not telling anyone with what is said or talked about.

Moya shakes violently and starts powering up for starburst

Pilot: John, do you read me, Moya is going to starburst, you dont have time to dock. Get as close as you can and her wake should pull you through!!!

John quickly turns his module and heads back towards Moya's tail John: Frell Pilot, you said three arns, three arns! Not one not two, but three arns!!!!

Pilot: She is using everything she can, including our life support. Get as close as you can!

Moya starts her starburst just a Crichtons module tucks between her tails.

Rygel: Here we go again.

"Half of it" part 4 "The other half of it"

Time to catch up. I last left you with Moya Starbursting a second time.

Moya creeps out of a starburst, her hull still blue with electrical charge. Talyn follows slowly through, then the tumbling Farscape module. As Moya slows to a halt the module continues it's pace ramming into the back end of Moya.

Abord Talyn

Crais: Pilot, will you please tell me what is going on? Why have we starburst again?

Pilot: Well, it seems Moya has found something, or someone for that matter. Did Crichtons module make it?

Crais: I see it, he is floating away. Talyn, close in on him.

Talyn circles around and flys up next to the tumbling module.

Crais: Pilot, it is in bad shape, I dont see Crichton moving. You should have Moya bring it aboard.

Moya pulls the dead module into one of the docking bays, Talyn flys in behind it. Aeryn, D'argo and Jool wait patiently for it to come to a stop. As the module lands you can see the limp body of John resting in the cockpit.

D'argo: Jool help me get him to the medical bay

Jool and D'argo quickly grab John and rush him to the med bay. The whole time Aeryn has her hand in his.

The doors fly open to the med bay and they lie Chrchton on the table.

Aeryn mumbles to herself: Dont leave me again, please. She thought no one had heard her, but D'argo glances at her. He had heard.

Jool quickly checks him over: He is alive, a little bumped up, but he is alive.

Pilot: D'argo, we have a problem. Go to the docking bay immediatly.

D'argo grabs his qualtablade and places it under Crichtons hand: Hold onto this for me, friend. He then runs out of the room saying: Aeryn, I might need your help, Jool can take care of Crichton.

Aeryn hesitates for a second then follows D'argo.

In the docking bay Crais is in the Farscape module franticaly pulling Johns posessions out Crais: Chiana, help me with this. He hands her a large piece of equipment

D'argo and Aeryn round the corner to see the two of them removing components from the broken ship Aeryn: What do you think your doing?

Crais: Saving this ship, and our lives.

Aeryn: What?!

Chiana: His module is going to explode, and if we cant get it out of here real quick, so will we. Now help us! D'argo notices the fluid leaking out of the ship.

Crais: We have no more time, take his things and run. Pilot, get rid of the module now! Crais jumps out just as the module starts to take off. they watch as it is jettisoned out the bay door, and in an instant and a bright flash the module breaks apart and explodes.

D'argo: What the dren is going on? What did you do to Crichtons ship? He grabbs Crais and slamms him to the wall lifting him off the ground

Crais (choking): There was nothing we could do, it was imminent. Chiana: Crais is right, there was nothing we could do. D'argo drops Crais to the floor

Aeryn is still standing looking out the bay doors, she is in shock of the recent event. It still hasnt fully hit her what had happened. She looks down into her shaking hand. Johns recorder.

Pilot: Everyone, I have good news, Moya is under control, I have her calmed down for now.

Aeryn: Pilot I will be right there.

Crais, Chiana , and D'argo pick up the remains of Johns ship and equipment, as Aeryn leaves the bay.

1 arn later in Pilots room Pilot: Are you going to listen to that?

Aeryn: I need to know She rewinds the tape a little just as she seen John do so many times before, and plays the tape.

Recorder: (sigh) Dad, I have been out here for a long time now, I cant even remember the last time we had talked. It seems with every passing day I lose another ounce of hope of ever returning. This whole time, this ship, this crew has become my family. It gives me new hope though. You know it's strange, how much I want to go home..home, I dont even know where home is. Here, or Earth. Moya is incredable, she can take humanity to places we have only wrote about. Maybe one day we will see each other again, and you can meet her. She is everything you could think of and more, one day we might ride her together, do things you never dreamed possible. Explore as father and son. (Aeryn's voice Pissed) What in frell are you talking about? I dont know the mating rituals of humans, but we subbacians dont agree with, sharing. Aeryn stops the tape, and drops her face into her hands.

Aeryn: It is me. She stands up and walks out.

In the med Bay, Jool is busy picking stuff up from their last starburst and Rygel is looking through Johns pockets.

Chiana walks in and sees Rygel: What are you doing you little toad, get away from him before I...

John groans and Rygel floats off just before John regains concusness.

John: (Dazed) What happened, last thing I remember is coming out of starburst then everything went black.

Jool: John there was an accident.

John: Let me guess, it somehow involves me.

Crais and Aeryn enter the room. Crais: John, there is something you should know, in the accident you lost something.

John reaches for his groin

Crais: No, it's not that, your ship.

John: What about my ship?! He sits up. Taking a quick notice to the qualtablade under his hand.

Aeryn: It was going to destroy Moya, we pushed it out the landing bay. We almost didnt make it. She nonchilantly places his recorder into his jacket pocket that was on a chair by the Table. No one noticed.

John grabs his head and groans: Do you want to run that by me again. What happened to my ship?

D'argo: It could not have been prevented, I'm sorry.....John.

John stands up and walks towards the door grabbing his coat on his way out. Aeryn attempts to follow, but she is held back by D'argo.

D'argo: Let him go, he has just lost something more important that you understand.

3 arns later. In the Observation bay again John sits. Talking to his recorder. John: Dad, all hope I ever had is gone now, the last thing that seperated me from this end of the universe, is gone. I have no way of getting home now, unless I take the rest of the crew with me. But I know how humans would react, and that scares me. I cant subject these people, my friends to that. I dont have anybody out here, I know now that I, I dont even have you anymore...

Aeryn: But you do have me

John turns to see Aeryn standing in the doorway with a single tear rolling down her cheek.

Aeryn: You have me.

She runs towards him, and he meets her halfway. They embrace once again.

Pilot: Everyone, Moya has told me what is going on, It seems that she has found another Laviathan, and she claims it to be her father.

To be continued.

I hope you enjoyed it twice as much as I enjoyed writing it.
