CIC Communications Station

" Dee, what does this frakking thing I'm hiding in the remote storage locker look like?" Sharon asked completely exasperated after having spent the last hour searching for it in the storage room Dee had told her it would be in. "Cause I sure as hell can't find it. And hasn't anyone ever heard of labeling all of the frakking shit that's in there?"

" Sorry sir, but considering what's been going on here, labeling things hasn't been a top priority, plus most of us know what a transmitting relay looks like, sir" Dee replied harshly.

Taking a deep breath " Alright, we're both a little on edge do to the Commander's little pet project. So how about we start this conversation again?" Sharon suggested.

Smiling Dee replied, " Sure, the part you're looking for is about this big" as she moved her hands apart. " There are three green processor chips on the mother board and a small orange bulb. Also I grabbed the last one from the third shelf on the right side, and the red spool of fiber optic cable should be next to it."

" Alright I'll look again, thanks." Sharon replied.

"You're welcome sir." Dee said in return.

Hanger Deck

" Hey chief you got a minute?" Cally asked the man who was currently elbow deep in a Raptor.

" Sure, what can I do for you?" he asked in reply.

" I was wondering if you had, had the chance to repair the door to the remote storage locker, cause if you haven't I could take care of it for you. I just finished my work on the Viper you assigned."

" I've already taken care of it. Why don't you show Sanchez how to repair that gimble she's working on. I've shown her twice and she still keeps frakking it up."

" Sure Chief" she replied smirking, before turning around to find Sanchez.

" One more thing Cally." Tyrol said

" What is it chief?" she asked as she returned to his side.

" Did you put all the fuel seals back in their place?"

"No sir, Lt. Valerii did."

" Alright thank you."

" No problem chief" she said whilst turning and going to find Sanchez.

Commanders Quarters 2000 hours

Knock, Knock

" Enter", said the voice from within.

Sharon quickly opened the door and stepped inside of the office and stood at attention in front of the commander's desk.

"At-ease Lieutenant, is everything in order?"

"Yes sir, we are ready to commence with Mission Cupid" Sharon replied having trouble keeping a straight face.

Chuckling the Commander replied, " Very well, lets put this plan into action tomorrow. But I do have one question, who came up with Mission Cupid?" after which he started laughing fool out.

"Well sir, Specialist Cally did."

"Thank you. You're dismissed."

"Sir" Sharon replied as she saluted the commander before doing an about face and leaving his office. She then went in search of her fellow conspirators to inform them that their mission would be a go first thing the next morning.

Chow Hall 0530 hours

"Ok, everyone ready to get this show on the road?" Dee asked as she took a seat with her three co-conspirators the next morning during breakfast.

"Well, the fuel seals and the transmitting relays are now in the storage locker. So that takes care of my half of this crazy mission." Sharon sighed praying Starbuck would never find out about what they were about to do.

"The door to the storage closet is rigged so that it can only be opened from the outside." Tyrol added, " So are you to ready for your acting gig?" he then asked Dee and Cally.

"Honestly no. I'm scared of what will happen to me if Starbuck finds out I tricked her. However, will I do it? Yes, cause those two need to start talking. I'm tired of suffering from frostbite when they're around." Cally told the group truthfully.

" I'm not thrilled of lying…tricking the Capt. but Starbuck and Apollo need to clear the air if nothing else." Dee then added.

" Alright everyone lets get this show on the road and finish our mission. " Sharon said as she got up from the table.

Hanger Deck 0800 hours

They had been working together for almost two hours, when they came out from underneath the viper they had been working on.

"Sir, would you be able to get a part for me?" Cally asked hoping that her nervousness wasn't showing.

"Why not? It's not like I'm being all that helpful to you with this thing on." Kara replied holding up her broken hand. " So what do you need?"

"I need a couple of fuel seals sir."

"Where do I find them?"

"They're located somewhere in the remote storage locker."

"Take ten and I'll be back," Kara told her as she headed off towards the locker.

Once their Kara opened the hatch and stepped through it. She let it close behind her as she walked through the isles of shelves looking for the fuel seals. After fifteen minutes of searching she found them behind a box of various size copper coils. She quickly grabbed what she needed and headed back to the hatch, however when she tried to open it, it wouldn't budge.

Kara tried banging on the hatch for several minutes, however no one came to her aide. So filled with frustration, she through the seals into the corner of the room and then sat down on the floor her back leaning against one of the bulkheads.

CIC 0900 hours

"Gods damn it" Dee muttered as the transmitting relay shorted and shocked her.

"Everything ok down their Petty Officer?"

"No sir." Dee replied.

"What seems to be the problem?"

"Well, I've been running a diagnostic on the communications console and the transmitting relay just blew a circuit sir."

"And shocked you in the process" Lee said pointing to her palm.

When Dee looked at her hand she noticed burn marks on her hand, "Damn I didn't even feel this."

"Go to the Life Station and have one of the medics look at that."

"Sir I need to finish this first." She told him adamantly.

"Fine" Lee said chuckling " what do you need to finish this?"

"A new transmitting relay."

"Ok, I'll get it for you, and in return you can go to the Life Station, by the time they're done with you, it will be here waiting for you."

"Is that an order sir?"

"I'll make it one if I have to."

"Yes sir" Dee answered, " Also sir, do you know where to locate the new relay?"

"No Petty Officer I don't, but I'm sure you'll tell me." Lee said smirking in true Starbuck fashion.

"They are located in the remote storage locker."

"Very well now will you go? Or do I have to escort you?"

"No sir" Dee replied snapping a quick salute before leaving her station and heading out of the CIC towards the Life Station.

Lee followed her part of the way before turning to head down to the hanger deck. From there he walked over to the locker, opened the hatch and stepped inside. Then just as the hatch was closing he heard a voice "Don't let that hatch close!" however that voice came too late.

"Great! Just frakking great!" Kara exclaimed with a raised voice.

"What's your problem Kara?" Lee asked confused.

"The lock on the hatch is broken, I've been sitting here for the last frakking hour waiting for someone to open that damn door. And what do you do? You let the damn thing close behind you."

"How in the in the hell was I supposed to know. Do I look like a mind reader?" Lee snapped back, exhausted due to tossing and turning in his bunk the previous night.

"What so there is actually something the great Lee Adama doesn't know? I guess there is a first time for everything, even though you do seem to know everything about me like who I'm frakking." She bit out the last words.

"Can't we just talk? Us fighting with each other is getting frakking old." Lee replied frustrated.

"Now you want to talk? When I did all you could do was yell at me, you wouldn't even let me explain. You actually thought I'd screw around on you with that pompous jackass." Kara took a couple of shuddering breaths as she willed the tears in her eyes not to fall. "I may be a screw up Lee but I never would have intentionally hurt you like that. And do you know why?"

"It's because I love you, or at least I thought I did." She mumbled that last part as the tears started to slide down her face.

Lee walked over to where she was sitting "You love me?" Lee asked looking down at her "you sure have a funny way of showing it, hell you've been ignoring me for weeks, refusing to talk to me. So yeah I thought you were frakking him behind my back, shit Kara what did you expect me to think."

"I expected you to just trust me," she sniffled. "You say you love me, but you won't trust me? You can't have one without the other."

"I do love you. I just got jealous, considering you've been talking to every other male on this frakking battlestar." Lee replied.

"Yeah you trust me with your life, you trust me in the air but you don't trust me with your heart." Kara told him.

"But…"

Before he could finish his sentence Kara continued, "I don't think we should see each other for a while or at least until Doc Cottle puts me back on the flight roster."

"Why?" Lee asked confused, he figured since they were getting their feelings out things would be ok.

"Lee who are we trying to kid, this" she said waving her hands between the two of them is never going to work, we're both to set in our ways." Kara told him honestly now that the tears had stopped.

"That's Bullshit Kara! You're not just the woman I love, but you're also my best friend. I don't want to loose you."

"Well, maybe it's too late, maybe you've already lost me."

"I don't believe that for one minute Kara, and I don't think you do either." Lee told hoping that they could get past this. He then knelt down in front of her and placed a searing kiss on her lips.

At first Kara was too shocked to do anything but after several moments she pushed him away, because as soon as he touched her fleeting images from her night with Baltar started flowing through her mind. "I can't do this Lee, it's too much too soon," she said stuttering and implying everything that was going on between them.

When she pushed him away Lee couldn't look at her, he felt his heart rip in two again. So instead of sitting with her like he had planned he instead stalked behind some of the shelving units and found a secluded spot where he didn't have to look at her.

Kara then sat quietly for some time so thinking about everything, before her emotions flared up again. This time she got up and went to where he was sitting "Lee please just talk to me." Kara asked him.

CIC
