Chapter Five - Galactica #3

"Apparently, President Roslin ordered the Old Man to rest up." Starbuck said conversationally.

"Good." Lee grumbled, "He wasn't listening to me."

"Well," she drew out, "Maybe that's because you're male." She eyed him. "You are male right?"

Lee pushed her away from him and kept walking.

Starbuck jogged to catch up to him and smacked his arm. "All I'm saying is-"

"I know what you're saying Kara. My father is listening to the President because she's the boss and doesn't want the Commander of the Fleet to collapse in the middle of a Cylon attach due to over doing it after his surgery."

She stared open mouthed at him.

Lee glanced at her. "What?"

Starbuck broke out into a huge grin. "Nothing." She chirped.

"Good." Lee nodded.

Strolling past him, "Well, except that your Daddy is under a spell." She wiggled her fingers at him as she walked backwards.

Lee stopped and stared at her, "Oh come on-" he falters a second, "Like that's-" he shakes his head firmly. "Not happening."

"Live life to the fullest." Starbuck quoted awfully, trying to fathom where she got it from. "No idea who said that." She puzzled.

"Frack off." Lee grinned and laughed. "You're messing with me now."

"Nope." She continued walking backwards for a few seconds before, "If you don't believe me, ask the man himself."

"Ask who?" Commander Adama snuck up on Starbuck.

She jumped, "Frack. Boss, you trying to kill me?"

Adama chuckled.

"I heard you were with Doc Cottle most the night." Lee stood still. "You ok?"

"I'm fine." Adama assured them both.

"Sure?" Starbuck looked him up and down. "Cause you look a little green."

Adama stared at her.

"Nice." Lee muttered sarcastically.

She grinned. "Well, I gotta be places. People to see, asses to kick." She straightened up and saluted. "Sir."

Adama saluted back. He shook his head ruefully when she walked away. "What has she been saying?"

"Nothing." Lee said immediately.

"Right." Adama stared at his son.

Lee look over his father's shoulder, avoiding his eyes. "Well," he stuttered, then looked at his father and decided to just get it over with.

"Yes?"

"Starbuck has this crazy notion that you are under some sort of female spell." Lee watched his father furrow his eyebrows in confusion. "Listening to the President about resting, instead of me or the doc." He clarified.

Adama nodded. "I see."

"So," Lee waited.

"What?"

Lee grinned. "Thought not." He shook his head. "Kara was obviously messing with me."

Nodding, Adama stepped around his son, saying casually as he walked away. "Dinner in my quarters tonight."

"Yes sir."

"We have a guest." Adama informed him, his voice carrying.

Lee straightened. "Who?"

"The President." Adama turned the corner and left Lee standing in the corridor.

"Wooo, the President." Starbuck's hands landed on Lee's shoulders.

Lee stared at the empty space. "I thought you had-"

"I forgot something." She smiled. "So, the President huh? Wow. Who woulda thought."

Lee turned around with a sigh. "I'll have you know that I've eaten with the President a few times."

"Was the boss there?" She teased.

"Yes." Lee answered.

"Notice anything between them?" She grinned.

Lee huffed, walked past her and away from her.

Starbuck laughed and followed him. "Face it, Lee, your Dad is human, just like you and me."

"I really don't want to think of my father in a relationship Kara."

"Why not?" She paused, then nodded. "Yeah, I wouldn't want to know either, but," She rounded on him and put a hand on his chest to stop him. "It's the end of the world Lee. Everyone needs someone."
