Chapter two: president Adar visit to Galactica part two
It was a long night for the Thrace sisters. Kara wakes up several time because of coughing and not being able to breathe through her nose because of the nasal congestion. Krista could not get comfortable and the pain in her lower right side of her abdomen is not being relieved by the 400mg Morhpa pain pills and Krista is also started to think the antibiotics are not working either. At 0700 hours in the morning Krista gives up on sleep and gets out of bed, then changes into her dress gray uniform. Krista puts on her sash and then puts on the captain Insignia pin, a colonial fleet emblem pin on the right breast flap of the gray dress uniform jacket and then puts the colonial warrior pin, senior pilot pin that she just received a few weeks ago, star-shaped insignia pin, a gold octagon pin that middle is cut out, which toward base of sash and other pins earn onto her uniform and sash. Krista sits down on her bunk and then put her black combat boots on, a few minutes later Krista grabs her gym bag out of her locker then put her green battle dress uniform, flight suit, flight suit boot, pilot watch, helmet, her pilot belt with sidearm and other supply on the belt into her gym bag, but before close the gym bag Krista puts her antibiotics and pain pills into the first aid kit on her pilot belt and then zip the gym bag close. Krista set the gym bag on her bunk and then leaves the officer bunk to go get something to eat for breakfast and to take her morning antibiotics and pain pill that are in her left hand. A half hour later Krista walks into the officer bunk and sees Kara sitting up on her bunk taking some Caprica feel better severe cold and flu medicine. Krista walks over to her sister bed and sits down on the bed next to her sister.

"How are you feeling this morning Kara?"

"Tired, achy, congested and I still have a fever, watery eyes, sore throat, cough, keep sneezes and my ears have starts to hurt."

"That is not good and you should get dress then grab some breakfast before head to the viewing room to listen to president Adar speech and then part of the secretary of education Roslin speech."

"I am going to rest until I have to go do my pre flight check. If commander Adama asks where I'm at coughing tell commander Adama that I am resting until it is time to do the pre fligh check because I am still sick."

"Sure, do you have your alarm clock set Kara?"

"Yes,"

Krista stands up from her sister bunk and Kara lay down on the bed. Krista covers her little sister with the blanket and watch Kara shuts her eyes and drifts off to sleep. Krista walks over to her bed and grabs her gym bag off of the bed, then put the shoulder strap of the gym bag on her right shoulder. Krista then walks over to her sister bed and shut the curtains on Kara's bunk, then slowly walks out of the officer bunk. Krista quietly shut the heavy metal hatch door behind her, then the older Thrace sister slowly walks through the ship and up to the viewing room, which is on the third level and top of the ship. When Krista walks into the viewing room, she sees that there are only four other people in the room so for and the other people in the room are president Adar, secretary of education Roslin, Commander Adama and Executive Officer Saul Tigh. Krista Thrace also sees that at the front of the room is a podium, in addition Krista sees that President Adar and secretary of education Roslin are sitting in the front row in the two seats that are in front of the podium. Commander Adama sees Krista Thrace come into the viewing room and walk away from Tigh and over to one of his best pilots.

"Good Morning Phoenix and where is your sister?"

"She is resting until it is time to do her pre flight check, she is still feeling under the weather."

"That is fine and you and Starbuck do not need to fly back tonight. I want the two of you to go home to your apartments tonight and get a good night sleep, then fly back tomorrow. I have cleared it for your vipers to stay at the spaceport overnight."

"That will make Starbuck happy that she only has to fly to Caprica today and not fly back to Galactica until tomorrow. It would also be nice to sleep on my own bed for a night and check my mail because my mail has to be piling up."

"I thought that would make the two of you happy."

Commander Adama walks back to the front of the room and at the same time Krista walks over to the end seat of the back row that is on the left-hand side of the room and sits down on the seat. Krista then set her gym bag beside the seat and waits for the air show to start. The reporters from the news stations and publications are the first group of people to come into the viewing room and then the off duty crew members and pilots come into the viewing room. At 0840 hours (eight forty in the morning) the air show begins and everyone in the room is looking out into space watching the planes fly over head. Krista watching the vipers flipping and turning around in outer space and flying upside down at one point, then shut her eyes and waits for the speeches to start. Krista has almost fallen to sleep by 0940 hours when she hears commander Adama speaking.

"I would like to welcome president Adar and secretary of education Roslin to Galactica and now I will ask president Adar to cone up to the podium."

President Adar stands up and then walks up to the podium and at the same time commander Adama walks over to the first row of seats. Commander Adama sits down on the end seat and Krista looks around the room. Krista then blinks her eyes several times and at the same time the president starts to talk.

"In three months and three from today the Jupiter class Battlestar ship called Galactica will be decommissioning from the Colonial Fleet. The ship will be turned into a museum as a memorial to the first Cylon War and to all the colonial fleet members and civilian that lost their life during the war. The museum will also be used to education the youth about the first cylon war. A few days after the decommissioning of the ship Commander Adama will be retiring for the fleet. I want to thank Commander Adama for the years of service in the Colonial Fleet. In addition to the pilots and the crew members of Galactica that are on they last assignment I want to thank them for all the years of service in the colonial fleet and thank all the pilots and crew members that are staying in the fleet and being reassigning to other battlestar ships for all the years they have service and for the years of continuing service. I am now going to let secretary of education Roslin come up to the podium to tell you about the education side of the museum."

President Adar steps away from the podium and walks over to the first row of seats and sit down on the chair that he was sitting on during the air show and at the same time secretary of education Laura Roslin stands up from the seat that she sitting on and then walks up to the podium. Once behind the podium the secretary of education Laura Roslin looks around the viewing room and then Roslin takes a deep breath before starting to talk.

"The Battlestar Galactica museum will be a great way for the students that come with they school or children who come with their mom or dad to learn about what a Jupiter class Battlestar looks like and what it is like to be on a battlestar."

At this point Krista stops listen to the secretary of education and stand up from her seat despite still having almost two hours before leaving Galactica for Caprica. Krista grabs her gym bag off the floor and then walks to the hatch of the viewing room. Krista open up the hatch door quietly and then walks out of the viewing room shutting the hatch door quietly behind her, then Krista start walking down the halls and to the officer head to use the head and then get changes, which will give her time to go check on Kara before going to the forward starboard hanger deck to do the pre flight check. When Krista walks into the officer head a few minute later, the head is empty, Krista set her gym bag on the bench and then walk into the first toilet stall on the left-hand side if standing in front of the stall's look at them. Fifteen minutes later Krista walks into the officer bunk still wearing her dress gray Krista shut the hatch behind her and then toss her gym bag onto her bed. Krista walks over to her sister bunk, then pulls the curtains open and sees that Kara is still sound asleep. Krista walks over to her bunk and set the gym bag onto the floor and then sits down on the bunk. Krista then unties her black combat boots and takes the boots off. Krista lay down on her bunk, then rolls onto her left side and watch her little sister sleep. Krista tries to stay awake, but falls to sleep two minutes later and does not wake up until she hearing Kara's alarm clock go off forty-one minutes later. Krista sits up in her bunk and sees Kara looking at her.

"Ahem I though that you went to the viewing room to see the air show and listen to president Adar speech and part of the secretary of education Roslin speech, sniffling?"

"I did Kara, but I left shortly after Laura Roslin start talking because I need to use the head and I was having a hard time stay awake, so I came back here to take a nap. In addition commander Adama say we do not have to fly back to Galactica tonight, he wants us to spend the night at our apartments and get a good night sleep then fly back tomorrow. He cleared it with the spaceport for our viper to stay there for the night."

"Good I ah-choo do not think that I will feel up to fly back tonight. But do you mind if I stay at your apartment because I forget to pay my electrical bill, which means that I have coughing no power or heat at my place and do you mind if I ride with you to your place in your truck that is parked in long term parking at the spaceport?"

"Sure you can stay at my place tonight and I will give you a ride there too."

Kara and Krista get up and change into their green battle dress uniform. Kara and Krista then put their flight suits on and the two of them put their pilot belts on. The two sisters then sit down on their bunks to put on the boots that go with their flight suit. A few minutes later the Thrace sisters are walking toward the starboard hanger deck. Several minutes later Krista and Kara have starts to do the external inspection of their vipers, at the same time Sharon and Karl are doing their pre flight check too. Once Kara and Krista have finished the external inspection and made sure their viper tanks are fill and sealed Kara and Krista gets into they vipers and start doing the flight control check. Kara and Krista then put they helmets on and then the two sisters start to check to the canopy locks/explosive blots are set to safe, seat motors are set to safe and that the weapons are set to safe. Then the two viper pilots go through the start check to make sure the area is clear, commutation and navigation system are up and running and then make sure the canopy locked and escape pods are armed. Then Kara and Krista make sure their engines are spools up and have three green lights, which both do and then set their weapons to arm, which mean to set master safety to active. After launch tube one and two have been clear the deck hands move Kara vipers into launch tube two and Krista viper into launch tube one. Then the chief of the deck opens up the blast doors and a minute and half later Krista's viper is launch into space, followed by Kara's viper and Sharon and Karl in Sharon raptor join Kara and Krista in space. A few moments later Kara, Krista, Sharon and Karl are waiting for Eversun starliner colonial heavy number 798 to fly out of Galactica and into space.

"This is Boomer to Phoenix!"

"This is Phoenix, what do you need Boomer?"

"Just letting you know that we are following you to Caprica, but are only stays there long enough to refuel and then head back to Galactica, so we will not see you again in person until you get back to Galactica tomorrow."

"Thank you for let me know that Boomer, Starbuck did you hear what Boomer say?"

"Ahem yes I did."

Boomer, Helo, Starbuck and Phoenix see the Eversun starliner fly out of Galactica and start flying toward them. At the same time Phoenix, Starbuck and Boomer set their commutations so that their ships are set to the same commutation frequency as the Eversun starliner and then Phoenix gets a hold of captain of the Eversun starliner.

"This is captain Krista Thrace I will be fly along side of you as security to Caprica. Boomer Raptor and Starbuck Viper will also be flying security for you too. In addition my call sign is Phoenix, if you need anything let me know or you can let Starbuck or Boomer know."

"I will Phoenix."

The pilots stop talking and all four ships start to fly away from Galactica and toward Caprica. The five and half hour flight to Caprica uneventful, but for Kara it felt like a very long flight and her ears keep popping. When they reach Caprica the Eversun starliner lands first, then Boomer raptor lands. Krista lets Kara land her viper first and once Kara's viper is safely on the ground, Krista's lands her viper next to her sisters' viper and then looks over at Kara. Krista sees that Kara has her helmet off already and is blowing her nose into a tissue. Krista shut down the commutation and navigation system, transponder, timer and the weapons systems in her viper and then turns off the viper. Krista open up the canopy of her viper and then take off her helmet, but does not take her hair out of the ponytail. At the same time one of the spaceport crew members of the landing deck put a ladder up against the outside of the viper cockpit. Krista stands up and then steps onto the ladder and then climbs down, once the spaceport crew member has pull the ladder away Krista gets to work on her post flight external inspection to make sure nothing was damaged during the flight or landing. At the same time Kara start her post flight external inspection of her viper. Krista finishes her post flight external inspection first and Krista carrying her helmet in her left-hand walks over to her sisters' viper.

"Are you almost done Kara?"

"Sniffling I just finished."

Kara grabs her helmet and then Krista and Kara walks over to the long term parking lot, which is behind the main building of the spaceport where travelers buy their tickets at. Then the two sisters walk over to Krista's new black trunk, which Krista brought three months ago. Krista pulls her key ring that her truck key and apartment key are on out of the first aid kit that is on her pilot belt and then close the first aid kit. Kara reaches the trunk first and lean up against the bed of the truck to wait for her older sister to unlock the truck. A few moments later Krista unlocks the doors of the truck and Krista and Kara gets into the truck at the same time. Krista looks over at her little sister after starts the truck and sees that Kara has lays her head against the seat head rest and has shut her eyes. Krista looks into the rear view mirror and check to make sure no one is back out or driving by and sees no one. Krista backs out of the parking space and then drives toward the exits. A few minutes later Krista is driving through Caprica City and toward her apartment building, which is twelve blocks from the Caprica City Colonial Fleet Academy location, but about an hour and half from the Delphi colonial fleet base and Kara's apartment. When Krista pulls her truck into the first parking space by the main doors to the light gray apartment building Kara open up her eyes, a few minutes later Krista and Kara walk through the main doors of the building. Krista walks over to the mailbox units on the left-hand side of the main doors if looking at the doors and gets her mail out of her mail box. Then Krista and Kara walk up to apartment number four and Krista opens up the door of the apartment, which open up onto a landing of a spiral staircase. Kara walks into the apartment first and then Krista walks into the apartment shutting and lock the door behinds her. Then the two sisters walk down the stairs into the living room and Kitchen, which the black cabinet and base cabinet are up against the far wall across from the stairs. Kara walks past the master bedroom door and walks up to the couch, which is up against the right-hand wall if your back is to the spiral staircase. Kara then sits down on the tan couch and looks around the apartment that has all white walls and natural stain wood floors throughout the whole apartment. Then Kara looks up at the flat screen tv that is on the wall across from the couch, the door to the main/guest bathroom is on the right-hand side of the flat screen tv if sitting on the couch and second bedrooms in the apartment is on the left-hand side of the flat screen tv, if sitting on the couch. In addition on the wall behind the couch is a painting that Kara paint of Krista playing in her final Caprica Buccaneers pyramid game and in the painting Krista has just scored the winning goal of the game. At the same time Krista walk through the living room past the master bedroom, couch and coffee table in front of the couch and then walks past the breakfast island and into the kitchen. Krista then walks past the silver freezer and refrigerator unit that is up against the right-hand wall if your back is to the spiral staircase, also the silver stove and oven range are across from the freezer and refrigerator unit on the left-hand wall if your back is to the spiral staircase. The base cabinet start right after the refrigerator and ends right before the stove and oven range. The upper cabinets start after the refrigerator and when you get to the first corner there are four half circle shelves, which is one shelf above the other shelf and has Krista's bottles of Ambrosia, plexus (type of rum, see in season four daybreak), Leonis Estates sparkling wine and other wines on the shelves. Then the upper cabinets begin again until the next corner then there is four more half circle shelves that are one shelf above the other shelf, which has Krista wine glasses, shot glasses and beer glasses on them. Then the upper cabinets start again and the upper cabinets end right before the stove and oven range. In addition the counter tops for the base cabinets and the breakfast island are concrete counter tops that are stains a coal color that is a light black. Kara takes her boots off and lays down on the couch, with her head resting on the arm of the couch facing the kitchen. At the same time Krista set the large pile of mail onto the breakfast island and a few moments later open up the last cabinet that is next to the stove to see what nonperishable food or can foods is not passed the use by date that she could fix for dinner. Krista takes a couple cans, a box of food and a box of tea bags out of the cabinet and set them on the breakfast island. Krista then walks over to the freezer and refrigerator unit and open up the freezer door that is on the top half of the freezer and refrigerator unit and pulls out a large thin box, then shut the freezer door. Krista set the box on the breakfast island and then open up the refrigerator door, but the only things in the refrigerator are bottles of water, a bottle of milk post the use by date, which Krista takes out and set in the right side of the kitchen double sink that in the center of the counter top of the base cabinet, which is up against the far wall across from the spiral staircase and there are also two half full jugs of apple juice and grape juice in the refrigerator that is post there use by date. Krista takes the jugs of juices out and set them in the sink by the milk, then shut the refrigerator door and walks over to the breakfast island. Krista leans up against the island and then looks at her sister.

"We have a choice of frozen cheese and tomato pizza, a box of powder cheese and noddle, a large can of tomato soup and a large can of vegetable soup that I can make dinner. The choice of drinks I have is water, herbal tea or alcohol. What do you feel like eating tonight Kara if it something I do not have we could order take out?"

"Coughing, I am not hunger Krista you do not have to make anything for me or order Ah-choo any take out for me!"

"Have you eaten anything today?"

"Sniffling no!"

"Then you need to eat something tonight, so what do you want to eat?"

"Fine how about you make the large can of vegetable soup, I am going to take a shower as you are making the soup. Can I go get a pair of pajama pant and nightshirt from your bedroom to wear tonight?"

"Yes."

Kara stands up from the couch and walks into the master bedroom and Krista puts the frozen pizza, can of tomato soup and the box of powder cheese and noddle away. Then Krista pours out the bottle of milk and the two jugs of juice down the kitchen sink drain and then throws the empty bottle and jugs into the trash can that is in the cabinet under the kitchen sink. At the same time Kara walk out of the master bedroom and walks across the living room and up to the breakfast island and to the center island stool, there is a total of three stools. Then Kara pulls out the black high back kitchen breakfast bar stool and sits down on the stool.

"Does the main/guest bathroom have towels, bar soap, shampoo and conditioner or Ah-choo do I need to get them from the master bathroom?"

"There are always towels, bar soap, shampoo and conditioner in the main/guest bathroom, the clean towels are on the towel rail that is on the wall between the shower and soaking tub. The bar soap, shampoo and conditioner are in the shower and there is a large basket of lavender and vanilla shower gels, body lotions, bubble baths, bath salts, scented sprays, bath soap and soap confetti on the floor between the shower and tub and in the medicine cabinet that in the center between the two mirrors, which are above the double sinks are four brand new and unused toothbrushes and two tubes of toothpaste."

"Ahem thanks and I always thought it was nice that you keep a large basket of shower gels, body lotions, bubble baths, bath salts, scented sprays, bath soap and soap confetti in the main/guest bath for your guest to use, so that do not have to aks to borrow some from the master bath, coughing."

When Kara stop coughing, she stands up and walks into the bathroom, Kara walks past the double sinks on the left-hand side and soaking tub on the right-hand side if your back is to the door and then walks over to the toilet that is next to the double sinks and across from the shower. Kara put the toilet seat lid down and then set the nightshirt and pajama pant onto top of the toilet seat lid. At the same time Krista is pouring the can of vegetable soup into a soup pan that is on the front right-hand burner if standing in front of the stove. As Krista is waiting for the soup to come to a boil, she starts to go through her mail. The first piece of mail Krista picks up is for Kara from Prometia high school, which is where both Krista and Kara went to high school at, Krista shakes her head thinking why is Kara still use my address for the Prometia high school alumni association. Krista set the envelope back on the breakfast island in front of the center island stool, then pick up the second piece of mail that is for her and from Prometia high school. Krista open up the envelope and take out the letter and see that it is about the all-stars vs. varsity team pyramid game that is in two weeks and the school is asking if she wants to play on the all-stars team. Krista sees the school needs an answer back so she grabs a pen and marks no, because she will not be able to get time off to play in the game this year, which is the first time she is going to miss playing in the all-stars vs. varsity team pyramid game. She then put the letter into the address envelope that has a stamp on it that the school enclosed to send the reply back in. Krista then walks over to the stove to stir the soup, at the same time she starts thinking back to the day of the first all-stars vs. varsity team pyramid game she played in on the all-star team, which was during the school year of 14BCH through 13BCH and on the second Wednesday of January, it was also Kara's ninth garde year of school. Krista starts to have a flashback, it is ten o'clock in the morning and the start of second hour at Prometia high school but the student body and teacher are sitting in the stands of the high school pyramid stadium and the varsity team and coach is on the court, along with a group of former varsity team players that make up the all-stars team. Krista who turned seventeen two weeks ago and is a first year student at the Colonial Fleet Academy is standing in the left corner of the high school pyramid court with her hair in pigtail braids, with the other four members of the all-star team that are starting players in the game and there are five more players that are sittings on the bench outside the court. All of the all-stars players are wearing gray pants and red shirts that say Prometia high all-stars. Kara and the other four members of the varsity team that are starting players in the game are in the right corner of the pyramid court, wearing gray pants and red shirt that say Prometia high varsity pyramid team and there are five other players sitting on a bench outside the court for the varsity team and the team coach is standing beside the bench. Krista looks at her little sister who hair is just above the shoulder in length and pulled into a half ponytail and gives her a smile and Kara give Krista a smile because it is the first time the two of them see each other since Krista got kick out of they moms' apartment and moved into her own apartment on May 1, 14BCH, after announce that she was retiring from playing professional pyramid for the Caprica City Buccaneers, so she could go to the Colonial Fleet Academy in the autumn to become a viper pilot. The all-star team starts off with the ball and Krista has the ball as the two teams' starts to move around the court. After three paces Krista shoots the ball at the goal and the ball makes it into the goal scoring the first point for the all-star's team. Kara gets the ball next and Krista tackled her little sister and Kara passes the ball to her teammate and the teammate sore a goal. Kara and Krista get up from the ground and Krista notices that Kara is a little pale then normal and looks tired too. The two sisters go back to playing the game and the all-star's team gets the ball next. Krista has the ball but cannot get a clear shot because Kara keep blocking her, Krista passes the ball to a teammate who scores the next goal. It is a tough long game and a tie game up to the last seconds of the game, when Krista makes one last goal, which wins the game for the all-stars team. The two teams shake each other hand and then walk off the pyramid court. A few minutes later Kara who is eating an apple walk over to her older sister who is putting her gloves and knee pads into her gym bag, Krista looks up at her little sister and at the same time zip her gym bag close. Krista notices that Kara has her right arm wrapped around her stomach and has starts to look flush. Krista also notices that Kara has just taken the last bite of an apple.

"Krista will you give me a ride home?"

"You still have three hours of school left Kara."

"I know that Krista, but I am not feeling well and I wake up this morning with a stomachache."

"Did you let mom knew that you were not feeling well this morning?"

"Yes when I sat down at the breakfast island, I told mom that I had a stomachache and mom say I was nervous about my first all-stars vs. varsity team pyramid game and that why I had a stomachache and she says that I was not sick because I haven't got sick for three years. Then mom set a bowl of oatmeal in front of me, I did not want to eat because I was not hunger but I do not want mom to start a fight so I start to eat breakfast but could only eat half the oatmeal. When I told mom I could not eat any more she told me to get ready for school, so I went in my bedroom and get dress and then went into the bathroom to finishes getting ready. Once i was ready for school I get the glass thermometer out of the medicine cabinet and put the thermometer into my mouth. Then I went into the living room and sat down on the couch until it was time to take the thermometer out of my mouth."

"That must have made mom mad?"

"It made her a little mad, but at the same time a little worried about me because I haven't got sick for three years now and here I was on a day that I was really looking forward to and I was sitting on the couch and resting my head on the back of the couch with my eyes shut, as I take my temperature. After a few minutes' mom took the thermometer out of my mouth and told me that I was running a lower grade fever of 99.1 degrees Fahrenheit, but I had to go to school because she felt the fever was too lower to keep me home from school and that I would regret miss school today if I stay home and I thought that mom might be right about that, so I come to school. But five minutes into the first class of the day I was wishing that I had stay home because my stomachache had getting worse and it felt like my fever had gone up too, I would have left school after first-hour because by then mom is at work, but I do not want to miss playing in my first all-stars vs. varsity team pyramid game today, so I stay in school and tough it out until after the game end. But I do not think that I can make it through the rest of the school day because my stomachache is really bad now and I have started to get nauseous after eat that apple."

"If the school nurse gives you a pass to leave school then I will give you a ride home."

"Thank you."

Krista takes Kara's gym bag and then the two sisters walk out of the high school pyramid stadium and Kara throws the apple core into the trash can that is outside the stadium. Kara and Krista walk to the brick high school building that is paint a cream color and building has started to look run down and has seen better days. Once inside the school the Thrace sisters walk down the front hallway of the school, they walk past the front office that is on the left-hand side of the hallway. Kara walks into the nurse office that is the first door after the front office and Krista Thrace stand in the doorway as Kara walk up to the nurse desk that is on the right side of the door. The high school nurse who is wearing a white nurse uniform and in her late fifty with long gray hair and brown eyes, looks at Kara Thrace.

"How can I help you Kara Thrace?"

"I'm not feeling well, I had a stomachache all morning and a lower grade fever and now my stomach is upset. Can I go home and since my mom is at work, will you let my sister give me a ride home Nurse Stark?"

"Take a seat on the exam table and I will check to see if you have fever if you do then you can go home."

"Ok."

Kara walks over to the exam table that is in the center of the room and sits down on the exam table. A few moments later the nurse puts the glass thermometer into Kara's mouth. At the same time Krista walk into the nurse office and stand by the nurse desk. A few minutes later the nurse takes the thermometer out of Kara's mouths.

"I will write you a pass to leave school, because you are running a fever of 100.9 degrees Fahrenheit and it looks like you are feeling under the weather this afternoon."

The nurse walks over to her desk and start writing the pass, at the same time Kara hop off the exam table and runs over to the trash can by the nurse desk. Kara then starts throwing up into the trash can. Three minutes later when Kara has stop throwing up the nurse hand Kara the pass and Kara sees the nurse pass say Kara Thrace is leaving school at the start of fifth-hour because she has a stomachache, fever of 100.9 degrees Fahrenheit and has been throwing up. At the same time Krista signs her sister out of school, then Kara and Krista walk out of the nurse office and two of them walks to the main doors of the high school, two and half minutes later the two sisters are walking out to Krista's three-year-old red truck that is parked in front of the school. When Krista and Kara reach the truck Krista unlocks the doors and then the Thrace sisters get into the truck. Krista set the gym bags on the center of the bench seat and ten minutes later Krista pulls her truck up in front of her moms' apartment building, then puts the trunk into the parked position. Krista then looks over at Kara who is rest her head against the window and has her eyes shut.

"Kara I am at our moms' apartment building!"

"Krista I do not want to be alone, will you come inside with me and stay until mom gets home?"

"Mom and I have not got along since I retired from playing professional pyramid or do you not remember mom telling me I was throwing my life away by retired from playing professional pyramid and then disowning me in May and kick me out of the apartment. So it might not be a good idea for me to come in and stay with you until mom gets home."

"Please I feel awful and do not think I should be gagging alone."

"Fine I will come in and stay until mom gets home."

Kara grabs her gym bag off the seat and at the same time Krista turns her truck off and then the two sisters get out of Krista truck. Kara start walking toward the outside staircase that leads to the second floor that is on the right-hand side of the building, as Krista grabs her backpack from behind the bench seat and then Krista locks her truck. Krista then walks over to the staircase, which Kara is standing beside and then the two sisters walk up the stairs and to apartment 2A. Kara unlocks the door of the apartment and runs through the door, then Krista walks into the living room of the apartment shutting the door behind her. Krista locks the door and at the same time Kara runs through the bathroom door, slams the door close behind her. The bathroom door is the center door, which is on the far right-hand wall if your back is to the apartment door, the two bedroom doors are on each side of the bathroom door and the kitchen is on the far left-hand side of the apartment, with a breakfast island with light gray concrete counter top and the island divides the living room from the kitchen. The stove and oven range is up against the far left wall if your back is to the apartment door and on the left-hand side if standing at the island, then the light base counter starts and the counter have the light gray concrete counter top. The kitchen sink is in the center of the counter top and at the end of the counter top is the freezer and refrigerator unit on the right-hand side if standing at the island and there are light upper cabinets on the wall above the base counter. Krista looks around the very familiar apartment, which has white walls and the only thing hanging on the living room wall is by the apartment door and is the Medal of Valor that Socrata Thrace was awarded during the Cylon War, from the Colonial Marine. There are also three pictures of the three of them in the living room, one on the coffee table and one on each of the side tables at each end of the couch. Krista walks over to the tan couch that is across from the apartment door and up against the wall and set her backpack on the floor between the couch and the coffee table and then walks over to the bathroom door and knocks on the door.

"Are you all right?"

"I am fine, I thought that I was going to throw up again but it was a false alarm."

Krista then sees that Kara still has posters of her favorite pyramid teams on the wall above her bed too.

"The bedroom has not change at all, I thought for sure that mom would throw out the posters that I left here and throw out my bed after kicking me out of the apartment."

"I would not let her Krista, you will always be a part of the family even if mom does not want you around."

"Thank you and do you need anything?"

"Why is Kara sleep at this time of day and then tell me why you are here?"

"Kara was sent home from school after the pyramid game during fifth-hour because of having a stomachache, a fever of 100.9 degrees Fahrenheit and throwing up.

"I was thinking about the day that we both play against each other for the first time in the all-stars vs. Varsity team Pyramid game, me on the all-stars team and you on the varsity team and about after the game when I take you home because you were sick."

"The game was a lot of fun despite playing sick and getting to spent time with you that afternoon was nice and it was cool of mom to let me go to your house the following day when I was still too sick to go to school and she could not get off work, so I do not have to be alone."

"You were in no shape to be alone the day after the Pyramid game, because you were very weak from being up all night dry heaven and running a fever that became a high grade fever an hour after getting to my house and then you start to have stabbing pain in your lower right abdomen."

"Ahem and you had to rush me to the emergency room and we found out that I had appendicitis and was rush into emergency surgery, coughing."

"You should have seen mom when she ran into the surgery waiting room, I have never seen her look so worried in my life and she was crying and was thankful that I agree to stay home from my classes to take care of you that day and that I get you to the emergency room before your appendix bust."

"Sniffling but the happy little family did not last long once I was well mom was back to not let me see you and scream at you if you call the house to see if you could talk to me."

"But we still find way to see each other behind her back and we talk on the phone when she was not home."
