Chapter 6: Happy Ending?

Written by: Alanafanatic3222 a.k.a. Michelle

Kara pulled her Viper into a semi-controlled landing in front of the Caprica City Museum of Antiquities. The two pilots preformed the acrobatic act of disentangling their bodies and falling out of the cockpit.

"Owh," said Kara as her hand thunked loudly on the wing before winding up with the rest of her on the ground.

"Kara?"

"Yup."

"Why are we in front of a museum? I thought we were gonna steal a ship,"

"I think they have a Stargate here."

"Oh. That might work. But didn't they say that it takes an enormous amount of power to get a catipillarhole between galaxies?"

"I think the word is wormhole."

"KARA!"

"You made the last plan. This one's mine." Lee groaned. She was right, though; it was her turn to make a plan. The pilots trekked up the stairs into the trashed museum.

"This place looks like the Museum at Delphi," Kara commented as she skirted yet another hole in the floor. Just as they reached what appeared to be an information desk, a voice yelled,

"Stop right there or I'll shoot!" Both Pilots froze.

"Easy, easy, were not cylons!" yelled Lee. Starbuck groaned.

"Oh yeah, and what if THEY are?" she whispered.

"Hadn't thought of that."

"Nice going." Starbuck was moving her hands to show that she was unarmed (which she wasn't) when the nice man who was supposedly pointing a gun at them said,

"I said FREEZE."

"Genius. Real genius," muttered Starbuck.

"Just keep the guy with the gun happy."

"We don't even know if he has a gun!" The argument was conducted in haggard whispers. Starbuck wanted to just keep going, but Apollo felt that they should stay. Starbuck finally won because it was 'her plan'. She was just going to take a step when a man approached them.

"Are you a… KARA?"

"Friend of yours?" whispered Lee.

"ANDERS?" Kara yelled as she ran towards him. The two (former) lovers hugged. Lee stiffened. It was no secret that Lee had a 'thing' for his second in command.

"What the frack are you doing HERE?" asked Kara when they pulled apart. Anders grinned.

"Well… we thought about how you were using the Arrow Of Apollo to get to earth, and we figured that if something so old could be so helpful to ya'll, then there's gotta be something here that could help us. Ya know?"

"Well I, for one, don't know," cut in Lee. Anders raised his gun as he turned around, a military trick he had learned from Kara.

"Anders, this is Lee. 'member, I told you about him?" Kara put her hand over Ander's gun. It would not be a good idea if her ex shot her CO.

"Oh yeah, Apollo. Right. Your friend." Anders seemed a little intimidated by Apollo, but that happened to most people. Kara couldn't wait for him to meet Telk, one of her new friends.

"Starbuck didn't mention you in her report. As a matter of fact, neither did Helo," said Lee warily.

"It was kinda personal," said Kara, defending herself.

"I can tell."

"Your mad." It was a statement. After all they had been through, Kara could definitely tell when Lee was mad.

"No."

"What then? Tell me," Kara pleaded softly. Anders stood by, staring. He was obviously fascinated. He couldn't tell what the other man was thinking. He almost looked like he was wearing a mask.

"Jealous," whispered Lee. Kara stared.

"Wow." Before they could finish their heart-to-heart, a kid ran up.

"Boss!" Anders was jerked out of his reverie.

"Yah Jake?"

"Murna said to tell you that we've got incoming. Lots of them." Anders looked at the two solders hopefully.

"Any way you could help us?"

"Actually, yah there is," said Kara, finally tearing her gaze off Lee, "have you seen a big stone circle anywhere?"

A/N- I couldn't resist, Anders just HAS to come back. In case you can't tell, I am also a big Lee/Kara supporter. This is my first -attempt- at (gasps) ANGST, so be patient with me. It takes time… SO HIT THE BLUE BUTTON!
