Summary: a bet drives John and Aeryn to disscover some interesting feelings!!!

---

~7~
For the next three days there's no work to be done, so Aeryn and John aren't out of bed, for a moment, unless it's absolutly nessassary.
Then on the forth day they both appear refreshed and happy, well, as happy as they could be on an uninhabited planet, thinking there'd be nothing to do for the next two and a half weekens. Boy were they wrong!
Aeryn was sitting on the terrace, hugging her knees, she was always amazed by the sight, she'd never told anyone though.
"Aeryn?" Zhaan asked, unsure as to whether this was the right time to put foward her proposition. "Aeryn?" she asked again.
"Yes Zhaan?" Aeryn asked. "Oh good, she's in a happy mood and she isn't tired anymore," Zhaan thought.
"Are you feeling better?" "Yeah, the dreams they're still there, but know I sleep all day so I get plenty of rest, but........."Aeryn trailed off, she had no idea what this all meant to her, she couldn't explain it to herself. How could she explain it Zhaan?
"You need something to get your mind of those dreams. I think you should just become friends with Crichton. Here, I'll make you a bet, I bet you can't make John like you and admit it in front of us. The catch is that you're not kiss to him until we leave Zorn. It'll give you something to do and it will help get rid of your dreams. What do you think? Can you do it?" Zhaan asked, careful to hide her growing smile.
"You challange me? I am not one to dismiss a challenge..no matter how easy or stupid. I will do it. I supose I should start, I only have two and a half weekens, oh and I will never think of kissing John Crichton." she said, aware that even as she said it the thought of his lips and her lips together was creeping into her head.
"Good, I'll see you around then," Zhaan begins but is cut off by Aeryn's voice, "Wait, what do I get if I can do it?" she says.
"Well.......if you can do it I'll do all you're work for the next three weekens. Okay?" Zhaan replies.
"Ummm okay, deal."

Meanwhile, D'Argo was still trying to work out hw to approach Crichton when his problem was solved for him. "Frell, I'm bored!" cane a voice from behind him, "What are you doing? D'argo?" Crichton said.
"Me? I'm trying to think of a way to entertain us men." he replied. "I've only got one idea and well it isn't that entertaining........."
"Well what is it?" Crichton asked, walking over to sit beside him.
"A bet" he said, "I bet you can't make Aeryn say that she loves you in front of all of us. Lets say you make her say it once we leave Zorn, but you can't kiss her until then, I bet you can't do it! If you can I'll do all your work for a monen" D'Argo said after a few microts hesitation.
"I don't even like Aeryn, why..."Crichton began but was then interupted by D'Argo.
"Well, it should be easy not to kiss her then. So do we have a bet or not?" he asked
"Well... I supose it'll give me something to do. Yeah, it's a bet! I'd better get going, planing to do you know." Crichton said, smiling to himself.
He got up and left, leaving D'Argo to his thoughts about how easy their disscussion had been and with that last thought he got up and left.

"Hmmm. What the hell was that about?" Crichton thought to himself, "An interesting preposition. Well, what can I use................" he continued his train of thought and put together his plan of attack."
Elsewhere Aeryn had decided the best thing to do would be to approach John and ask him if he wanted to go for a walk on Zorn, who nows maybe he'll know something of interest, she thought to herself, with a snort of laughter.
John had finished planning and was agout to go and find Aeryn when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." he said guessing the knocker was Zhaan as noone else ever thought of knocking.
He didn't even look up until he heard a voice, Aeryn's voice with something else: nervousness.
"Hi"
"Hi"
"You wanna go for a walk?" Aeryn asked her voice unussually high.
John couldn't believe it she was doing what he wanted her to.
"Ah..um well................"
"Forget it, be bored" Aeryn said and started to leave.
"No, wait. I.. yeah. I'd love to."
"Then lets go." yelled Aeryn and half-walked half-ran from the room.
John jumped up from the bed and followed Aeryn. He had no idea how or why but this was going perfectly, maybe too perfectly.

Part 4 is on the way!!
