Interlude- Fun…In several meanings of the word
President Laura Roslin was trying her damndest trying not to lunge across the table and throttle Colonel Tigh. It was really very hard to restrain her baser instincts from doing just that.
"Now if the president would so kindly explain this memo we have about fun? This is a battleship not a playground, we're not here to have fun."
"I think out of everyone here you would benefit the most from having a little fun seeing as how you are a real pain in the ass," Laura remarked with a sweet smile
Tigh glowered at her while both Billy and Lee tried desperately not to laugh out loud.
"I'm not talking about playing roller hockey in the corridors colonel. I'm talking about card games, and movies or chess…fun."
Commander Adama, who had been watching this interaction silently had to admit that this was a good idea. Sighing heavily he spoke, "I agree with you madam President."
Everyone turned to him in surprise as Adama rarely agreed with Roslin on anything unless it was matters of security or something equally as multifaceted.
"Thank you commander," Laura responded after a moment's hesitation
Adama inclined his head.
"See now that wasn't so bad," Lee commented as he and Laura walked out of the conference room with Billy trailing at a discreet distance
"You weren't the one that had to propose 'fun' to the good commander and Tigh."
"That man really pushes your buttons doesn't he?"
"How can you tell?"
"You calling him a pain in the ass may have something to do with it," Lee remarked with a wide grin
"Don't you know that I call everyone that I respect and admire a pain in the ass?"
Lee laughed, "I didn't know that no."
After turning into another corridor they separated to a respectable distance and walked in silence till they got to Laura's rooms.
"I'm going to go see D," Billy remarked, "Did you need anything ma'am?"
"No thank you Billy."
With a smile he left them alone in her rooms. Laura turned to Lee to see him leering at her.
"What?"
"So what other kinds of fun can we do?"
Laura rolled her eyes at him, "I want to teach you something."
He smiled, "Oh do you."
"Sit," Laura remarked pushing him into a chair
Lee sat in the chair at her small table.
"Close your eyes."
With a wide smile he did just that. He heard Laura shuffling around the room and good hardly contain his excitement for what was going to come, whatever it may be.
"Open."
Lee snapped his eyes open to see Laura standing before him fully clothed. What the? Looking down at the table he saw chess set laid out.
"What did you think I meant," Laura asked with an innocent smile
