Ten minutes before the shift finished everyone could see Cally was exited about something; by the way she was talking constantly and had lots of energy.
"Right, guys, lets get out of here" Chief Tyrol said to the crew that where finishing at 4pm.
So everyone headed out of the deck, Cally headed to her bunk to get her stuff so she could have a shower before meeting Crashdown.
She jumped into the shower and washed the grease and grime off of her skin and hair, then rinsed and quickly got dressed, when she got back to the bunkroom to drop off her stuff she noticed she had 5 minutes before she had to meet Crash.
She quickly walked down the corridors that lead to the observation room, and made it there at the same time Crash arrived, he unlocked the door for them and before closing it stuck a sign that read
'Closed for cleaning'
As she walked into the room Cally saw all the candles that where alight, and all the cushions and blankets that where on the floor to create a cosy little nest.
She turned to Crash "thank you so much, this is amazing, how did you manage to pull this off?" she asked wrapping her arms around his neck as Crash wrapped his around her tiny waist.
"I called in some favours" he said
"Well thank you, it's perfect" she said before pulling Crash down for a very passionate kiss.
They made their way over to the cushions and sat down, Cally sat between Crash's legs as they watched the stars outside the window.
"You hungry?" he asked
"Mmm, yeah a little"
"I brought some food" he said reaching across to the picnic basket he had borrowed from one of the older crew.
Crash pulled out some of Cally's favourite foods, he had been doing some digging, well mainly asking Selix what where Cally's favourite foods.
He had wanted it all to be perfect, Cally looked up at him when she saw chocolate cake, pasta, bread, strawberries, and a bottle of wine amongst other things for them to enjoy.
They sat and ate, and talked about their lives before galactica.
Cally told Crash how she had, had 3 siblings, all younger, 2 sisters, and a brother.
Her dad had died when she was a baby, so it was just her mom raising the 4 children.
And in turn Crash had told Cally he only had a younger sister, who was 12 when he last saw her, she would have been 14 in a week. And told her how he had never been in love before, and Cally told him she hadn't either.
They talked about school, and how they where both the more popular at school, and all the trouble they used to get up to, etc,
"You know, we have so much in common" Cally said laying her head on Crash's chest as she laid down
"I know I just realised that as well" Crash said kissing her head and tightening his arms around her.
Cally looked up from her place on his chest and leaned up and kissed him.
"Thank you for a wonderful evening…Sam" she said afterwards.
They where both content to just lye there for the rest of the night, sleeping in each others arms.
That night they both slept better then they had in a long time.
