“How’s science going?” Sam asked as she sat down across from him. It was weirdly habit finding out the Cam look-a-like, even though John and Cam shared some traits, they were very different. “Or are you missing us in engineering?”

“Science is great,” he answered, flashing Sam a grin as he reached for his drink, “but I still miss you guys in Engineering. Almost a shame I can’t be both places at once.”

“Of course you miss us!” Putting her spoon into her blue jello she took a quick bite. “We are some of the most fun out there.” Sam was just teasing. “Did you head down to the planet at all?”

“Alicia dragged me down for some pod racing.” Not that he wouldn't have gone willingly, but he hadn't been given much choice there.

Laughing she raised an eyebrow. “She dragged you? I’m sure you put up a good fight.”

“Oh, yeah.” John grinned at his companion and took a bite of his own food, pausing to chew and swallow. “It sounded terribly boring, you know, so she really had to convince me.”

Sam raised an eyebrow. “Did she have to pull you by the ear?”

Laughing, John shook his head. “Nah, she’s a witch. She could just float me the whole way,” he joked. Really, he’d gone on his own two feet and he was sure Sam knew that, but it was fun to joke about.

“What about you?” he asked her. “Did you make it down for anything cool?”

"Now, that's something I'd love to see, especially if she still managed to drag you by the ear," Sam laughed shaking her head.

"Yeah, pod racing, some exploring, my friend Daniel from home dragged me to something or other that was really cultural, but cool too."

“There was a lot of cool stuff to see down there,” John comment, nodding. “It’s a shame that storm came up and cut our time short.” With the few days when no one could go down to the surface, he was sure people hadn’t had the chance to do everything they’d wanted.

"It was, but I have to say, for once I'm glad I wasn't stuck on the desert plant during a storm," she'd done enough of that over the years. "They had some interesting technology for the pod racing, I sort of wish I would have had the time to take it apart."

John grinned at her. “I’m glad I’m not the only one,” he said. “I kind of wished I could’ve smuggled one back here to look at, myself.”

"That much sand just is impossible to clean out of everything," Sam wasn't the biggest fan of the desert plants sometimes. "You and me both, it would have been interesting to see how they made it work, especially the steering and acceleration."

“Shame we didn't get the chance.” He might be in science now instead of engineering but that didn't mean he didn't still like to tinker.

"Maybe next time," Sam agreed, it was a shame.

“Here’s to next time,” he said, grinning as he raised his glass - never mind that it was only water - toward her in a mock toast.
