Status: CLOSED-COMPLETE

John awoke feeling a bit homesick for once…not for his most recent home, friends and family on the starship, Moya, but for Earth…for a simpler time; he thought of his time as a boy doing things with his dad and his buddy, D.K. Knox. What great times they had playing ball, fishing, camping, riding their dirt bikes…he stopped and thought, They have mountain biking here…yeah…think I’ll check that out today!.

While in the shower, John made his plans for the day, he decided that, before he went mountain biking, he’d stop by the café and pick up a few snacks and wrap them up to stuff in his backpack for later on…but, his main decision was that it wouldn’t be as much fun to go alone as it would to bike with someone else. For some reason, Maxxie Oliver came into his mind. He laughed at how silly the boy looked when he first saw him, all sprawled along the ground…no shirt and a pink boa! Crazy kid was high on something and thought John was Brigitte’s dad…thought his arrival on the planet was all some elaborate joke being played on him. John lathered up his shampoo and shook his head remembering the poor boy when the truth finally hit him. Such a pitiful sight…John actually thought Maxxie was going to have a full out nervous breakdown.

Stepping out of the shower to towel off, John was never more sure of a decision. He figured that he could check up on Maxxie and make sure he was okay and be like a father figure to him…he was technically old enough to be his dad, him being 35 and Maxxie being 19…he grinned at himself in the mirror and said, “Well, let’s say big brother”. He dressed in forest-green cargo shorts, standard white wifebeater, ankle socks and biking shoes. Grabbing his backpack, he filled two waterbottles and tossed them in and also a first aid kit. With a smile, he hurried out to get started.

Stopping in the café, John selected four different prewrapped sandwiches, a couple bags of chips, four energy bars and several napkins. On the way out the door he saw a small rack that hadn’t been there before…it had Pez dispensers hanging on it. He laughed looking at the candy dispensers with the giant heads that spit candy out of their throats. He hadn’t been on Earth in so long, he didn’t recognize some of the characters, but a few he did… “Bullwinkle!”, he chuckled, “Gotta get this for Maxxie”, he tossed it in his pack.

Entering housing unit D, John took the steps to the second level, two at a time, and whistled as he strolled down the hallway to room #D225. Knocking enthusiastically, he called out, “Mrs. Oliver, can Maxxie come out and play?!”.

John laughed when Maxxie opened the door wearing a towel and a huge smile; he belted out 'John!' so exuberantly, that the older man grinned and took a step back... "Easy there, Sparky, you're gonna spontaneously combust before we get started!", he chuckled. In answer to the boy's question about doing something, John asked, "How do you feel about mountain biking? I packed us a few snacks and some water", he patted the backpack.

Being well aware that Maxxie was gay, John pretended not to notice when the boy looked him over, but he couldn't really overlook the complimentary "Hot!". He laughed and yelled behind the boy who had gone to get dressed, "Thanks, buddy! I think you're cute too, but I'm a married man!". He shook his head and leaned against the wall, "Crazy kid", he sighed.

Once Maxxie had his shoes and socks on, he looked up at John with such a sweet, innocent expression, the man couldn't help himself...he grinned and reached over to muss the boy's already mussy, blond hair, "C'mon, kid! Let's go pick out a couple'a bikes and hit the hills. What do you say?"

Leaving the building, they went out to the garage to pick out their bikes. The few people they passed seemed to be acting a bit strange...a bit too...hmmm...a bit too familiar. The air seemed different too. Not bad really...not bad at all. The air was actually quite nice...it had a faint floral scent to it. Strangely enough, John felt like he couldn't get enough of it...he wanted more air and was taking deep breaths. "Nothing like fresh air, eh, Maxxie, my boy?!", he asked, and patted the boy in the butt. Whoa, I shouldn't have done that! Maxxie's gay and will take it the wrong way. I know better than that. Besides, I never pat people in the butt...what's up with that?.

Entering the garage, John chose a bike and waited for Maxxie to choose his so they could hurry and get onto the trails. He needed to concentrate on biking, because he was beginning to feel a bit odd. Maybe it was being on this planet to long without Aeryn...but...no...that wouldn't make him want...no...he needed to think of biking...yeah..."So, which butt...ahhh...which bike BIKE you like there, Maxxie?".
