Minutes after Lee and Kara had left Helo walked into the rec room to see a very shocked yet confused nugget and quite a few confused pilots.
"OK what's going on here?" Helo asked.
"Errrmmm... Starbuck and Apollo had another fight sir" one of the pilots explained.
"Really, what happened this time?"
"We're not quite sure but... he was sort of stuck in the middle," the pilot explained pointing at the nugget.
"Ahhh," Helo said understanding the nuggets shock, "don't worry I'm sure you just happened to be in the wrong place"
"Yes sir" the nugget mumbled.
"Alright, so what was it all about?" he asked turning to everyone else.
"Errrmmm Kara wanted some time off from what we gathered, and she called him an ass."
"Doesn't sound so bad."
"No it wasn't until she called him a bailer?" the pilot explained confused.
"Ohhh I bet he didn't like that"
"No he said it was low, and then he called her a grounder?" another confused pilot explained.
"Ohhh, ouch" Helo cried surprised, "I take it that's when it all got uncomfortable."
"Yeah she looked like she was going to hit him, but then they just stared at each other and he left, I don't get it what did they mean by grounder and bailer?" the pilot asked.
Helo laughed slightly, "I haven't heard those names in years... we used to use them in the academy a bailer is someone who can't fight... they could fly, but as soon as they got into trouble they bailed out, that's a harsh insult for a fighter pilot."
"Yeah I can see what you mean," the pilots agreed.
"Now a grounder, that must have hurt," Helo continued, "A grounder is someone who can't fly, basically someone who crashes all the time, now for any kind of pilot that must have hurt, where did they go?"
"We don't know, Apollo stormed out with Ali and then a few minutes later Starbuck left as well, no ones seen them since."
"Alright, I'd better go and find them before they hurt each other" Helo added walking out the hatch.
Instead of going to find them he walked to the flight deck, where Cally had just finished her shift. He quickly talked to her and then they both walked off the flight deck together. 10 minutes later and Helo was spotted walking into a storage room.
"What are we going to do with you two?" he said as soon as he closed the hatch.
Hearing his voice Lee and Kara stepped out of the shadows with huge grins on their faces.
"You should have seen his face though" Kara cried, laughing again.
"I wish I could've been there, but I can imagine, he looked like he was going to wet himself even after you had left" Helo laughed.
That just made Lee and Kara laugh even more, "This just gets better and better" Kara laughed.
"And now I have to bail you out again" Helo said, trying to be serious but not succeeding.
"Yep and for that we are eternally grateful," Lee said still laughing.
"Right we have 3 mins before me and Kara have to go" Helo stated trying to get rid of the giggles.
Lee knew what that meant, Kara had just spent the last 10 minutes trying to get him to agree to this part, he turned around and closed his eyes, this was one thing he just couldn't watch. He only turned round when he felt Kara's hand on his shoulder.
"The things I do for you" he sighed as he turned around to find two flustered pilots.
"I know, but you get to have fun with Cally..." she teased, "What?" she added when she saw his horrified face.
"She's like my little sister," Lee cried horrified, "Your asking me to kiss my little sister"
"I'm sorry I didn't think about it like that" Kara said looking genuinely sorry.
"It's alright, I'll get over it, go on or your going to be late" Lee said quietly.
They watched Helo slip out before Kara turned back to Lee.
"I love you" she whispered, pressing her lips to his.
Lee leaned into the kiss before finally pulling away, "I love you too"
He watched Kara leave before he sat down and waited for Cally to turn up.
She turned up about 5 minutes later and it went about the same way as Kara and Helo, this time Lee left first followed by Cally a few minutes later. The rumor mill went mad with this latest development and the whole ship became slightly uncomfortable around all four of the participents, even Ali. This however was just another part of Kara's plan, but Lee couldn't help but pray that Kara knew what she was doing.
A/N sorry guys bit of a bob chapter but I thought some things had to be explained before the next part, I'm not sure when I will be able to put the next part up because I am going on a skate camp for the weekend and still have exams to finish so it might be a while. Still review though please.
