Disclaimer: I do not own Battlestar Galactica or Thunderbirds. I didn't like the end of Season Four. So I wrote this. Unsurprisingly it's AU. Oh and it's gonna have SLASH in it too!!!

Finding Home.

~ Prologue ~

Starbuck woke slowly, finding herself leant forwards in the cockpit of her Viper; the only thing keeping her from folding forwards the harness around her shoulders. Her Viper was powering down, drifting in a slow spin. Groaning she straightened out and had to shield her eyes as a bright star shone through her cockpit. It was gone in a couple of moments as the Viper continued to turn. And then she saw the planet, a blue and green planet with white clouds ghosting over the continents.

"What the…?"

She tried to stop her Viper from spinning but there was no power left in her engines or thrusters, it was a miracle that she even had life support. Cursing quietly she waited until the Viper was facing the right way and looked as closely as she could at the planet. It looked…it looked like the Scrolls description of Earth. It looked…beautiful. But…

"It can't be that simple…" she mumbled to herself, checking the readouts of her Viper. The on board computer, simple as it was, had no idea where she was. The light on her emergency beacon was flashing, showing it was active and broadcasting it's signal. Not that there was anyone to pick it up out here…or so she thought.

"Thunderbird Five to unknown space craft. Are you in need of assistance?"

"What the frak?" Starbuck asked, jumping in her seat, "Who is that?"

"You're coming through garbled. Change you're radio frequency by 0.5." The voice was male and very calm, giving her orders as if they were used to it. Strangely enough she found herself obeying.

"Who the frak is this?" she demanded once she was done.

"This is Thunderbird Five. I ask again do you require assistance?"

"Where am I?" Starbuck was facing the planet again by now.

"Currently you are in orbit over Europe. We received your distress beacon. Are you in need of assistance?"

"Would you stop asking that?!" Starbuck snapped, "Where the frak am I? What planet is this?" There was a pause before the answer came this time, the previously sure voice now sounding a little worried,

"Are you low on Oxygen?"

"No! Well a little but that has nothing to do with this! What planet is this?"

"Earth."

"Oh frak!" Starbuck gave a loud whoop. "I did it! I found it! Oh My Gods!"

"Are you sure you're not running too low on Oxygen?" the man asked gently.

"No! I've found Earth! It's real!" Starbuck was laughing so hard it almost hurt. "I've found it." There was a long pause as she laughed and then the man spoke again, his voice back to calm,

"Our space craft is on its way to assist you."

"Ok…I found Earth. Frak."

A/N What do you think?
