Oscar Wilde said: Long engagements give people the opportunity of finding out each other's character before marriage, which is never advisable.
"How are you doing Kara?" Laura inquired when she and the Admiral came for dinner on Thursday.
"I'm fine thank you." Kara replied.
Bill was already checking on his granddaughter.
"Dinner is ready when we are." Lee said.
They all sat down to eat.
When the meal was over there was a knock on the hatch.
"I'll get it." Kara got up and opened the hatch. Four men stood there dress head to toe in black. "Can I help you?"
"We're here to kidnap the Admiral."
"Then come right in." Kara stepped back to let them in before returning to their seats.
"Kara what's going on?" Lee inquired.
"They're here to kidnap the Admiral." Kara stated.
"Excuse me?" Lee looked at her.
"Admiral you're coming with us." Two men grabbed his arms.
"What the hell is the meaning of this?" Adama bellowed.
"You can come with us too." The other two men grabbed Lee's arms.
Bill eyed Kara who was showing no concern.
"Starbuck."
"Just go with it." She told him.
"Kara, what is going on?" Lee demanded.
"Just remember it wasn't all my idea."
"Kara." Adama said in a patented parent / commanding officer tone.
"Okay, so it was mostly my idea. But go we'll see you both tomorrow. Carry on gentlemen."
"Admiral, Major." The men in black prompted.
"What's going on Kara?" Laura asked once they had left.
"A little revenge."
"Revenge?" Laura questioned.
"Between the two of them they managed to drag me up the aisle. So I think a little turn around kidnap is perfectly fair."
"Kidnap for what?" Laura asked.
"A bachelor party. They'll get him a little drunk, but he should be fine."
"You're throwing him a bachelor party?"
"Colonel Tigh and company are. You get me and Caroline."
"I'm not sure if that is sweet or crazy."
"I'd go with crazy. Or at least that's the way the crew is looking at me."
"They don't think you're crazy Kara." Laura assured her.
"They certainly don't think I'm sane."

A/N: With the wedding and hospital tests and my muse still being held hostage by the Cylons I'm sorry for the delay. The wedding will definitely be in the next chapter.
