Title: You're what?!

Chapter 1

Aerilon – One week before the fall

Apollo wandered the festival grounds, he was due onboard the Galactica in seven days for the decommissioning ceremony. "What joy," he muttered as he was suddenly pushed from behind.

"Sorry," stuttered a girl as she glanced over her shoulder making sure that she wasn't being followed.

"You ok?" Apollo questioned as he glanced toward the entrance, a very angry man was storming his way into the crowd.

"Yes."

"Who's that?" questioned Apollo, gesturing his head toward the approaching male who had not as of yet seen them.

"My ex," she replied. "He doesn't want to take 'no' for an answer," she docked down in front of Apollo in order to escape Tyln's sweeping gaze.

Lee made a split decision as he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the nearby tent.

"Welcome," the priestess gestured for them to sit down on the cushions in front of her.

"Thank you," Lee said as he lead the brunette to an empty spot in front of the alter. "The name's Lee."

"Cally," she muttered back as the priestess continued on with the ceremony. "Thank you for the help."

"You're welcome," Apollo replied with a grin as he took the chalice offered to him. "Most fun I've had in years," as he passed the chalice over to Cally, he noticed that the room was completely filled-with couples-and a lot of them were in their best clothes. "Which temple is this?" he questioned under his breath as he bowed his head in the final prayer.

"Hera," she replied as the repercussions of what they had just done swept through both of them.

"So say we all."

"Congratulations upon the journey of your marriage," the priestess stated as she stepped forward in order to congratulate the couples.

"Married?" gasped Cally as she gazed into the equally disbelieving eyes of Lee.

"How old are you?" he questioned- his gaze studied her face.

"Eighteen," she replied quietly. Just, she thought to herself as her birthday was the day before. "And yourself?"

"Twenty-four," Lee frowned as he watched the other couples exchange rings and sign their marriage papers in front of the priestess. "Ok, my name's Lee Adama, 24, born on Caprica, and I'm a pilot with the Colonial Fleet stationed on the Atlantia."

"Calyn Henderson, 18, born on Gemenon, and I'm a mechanic with the Colonial Fleet," she paused as they were interrupted by the arrival of the priestess.

"Congratulations," she smiled as they signed their names to the register. "Rings?" she questioned softly.

"Here," Apollo removed one of his dog tags and placed it onto Cally's chain removing the heart shaped locket that was residing there. He quickly placed the locket along with his remaining dog tag around his neck, as he gently kissed his 'wife's' cheek.

"Captain Adama!" a familiar voice called out from beyond the temple's entrance.

"Damn it," he muttered as he quickly wrote down a string of numbers and pressed the paper into her hands. "I have to go, but we need to talk Cal."

Cally watched as Lee vanished into the crowd. Did that just happen? She wondered to herself as she reached for the dog tag that now resided on her necklace. "Lee Adama 'Apollo,'" she read aloud. "Adama," she repeated, was it possible that Lee was related to Commander Adama?
