Thank You to all of my wonderful reviewers. Your feedback is always appreciated. Also, thanks to my new beta Erin for all of her work.
The next chapter may take a little longer to get up because I have 9 huge projects due by next Friday. I chose a horrible time to start a story, but I may get bored with homework and write the next chapter instead.
Without further adieu, on to chapter four!
By 2:00am, only two people could be found in a bar on the luxury liner known as cloud nine. These people were known to the fleet as President of the Twelve Colonies Laura Roslin, and protector of the fleet Captain Lee Adama. At this moment however, they were not the leaders of the fleet, they were just two people; two very drunk people.
"Well I've succeeded in getting you drunk, but you have yet to tell me your deepest darkest secrets," Laura said as they stumbled through the hallways down to her room.
"Well, I have one secret I'm willing to tell."
"Yes…"
"I like when you call me Captain Apollo."
"That's not a secret, I always knew that," Laura replied as they came to a stop outside of their quarters.
"Well then, I do have one secret," Lee whispered as he opened his door. "I really wish that I could do something to make my dad proud of me." Lee said sorrowfully as he closed the door behind him, leaving Laura shocked on the other side.
Lee went to bed that night in a worse mood than he had ever been in. I thought drinking was supposed to take away all of your worries, not make you think about them more. So as he slept, more like passed out, he had the Cylons on his mind.
Dream sequence
"Come not Apollo, all you have to do is tell me where the rest of the fleet is, and I will let you go. All of this pain will end Lee." Doral was circling around a bound and bleeding Lee.
"Captain Lee Adama, CAG of the Battlestar Galactica," Lee replied automatically. Lee had no intention of giving them any more information than that. His thoughts were interrupted by the blow he received to the head.
"Come on Apollo. You're in pain. I can easily stop it. Don't you want this to end? It doesn't have to be this way."
"Captain Lee Adama, CAG of the Battlestar Galactica." Lee felt Doral's fist connect with his face before he passed out.
End Dream Sequence
Lee Adama shot up in bed, sweating and breathing heavily. No stop thinking about it! It's in the past Lee. Forget it! It was just a dream. They can't get you now. Lee repeated this mantra in his head over and over until he was finally able to calm himself down enough where he could actually breathe.
He knew he would not be getting any more sleep so he decided to get up and go for a walk around the ship. He really needed a run, but with his knee as it was, he wouldn't be running any time soon.
As he was walking around a corner, he ran into a mass of blonde hair. Blonde hair by the name of Kara Thrace.
"Lee!" She cried out as she threw her arms around his neck.
"Jeese Kara, breathing is a good thing you know." Lee laughed as she continued to cling to him. "What the frak are you doing here anyway Kara? I thought you were on the Galactica."
"I was." Kara responded. "I went to see your father, to tell him about the survivors of Caprica, and I saw him practically crying over a set of dog tags, your dog tags Lee. I thought something had happened to you."
Kara stopped her rant in order to hit him. "Don't you dare do that again mister!" Kara commanded before continuing her story.
"I asked what was wrong and he told me about your argument. And before you try to defend yourself, you were both out of line so don't even start. I told him I was coming here to convince you to come back."
"You just up and told him you were coming here? No asking involved."
"Nope. See the Old Man and I have an agreement. As long as I bring you back, In relatively one piece, I can do anything I want to achieve it."
"Sure he gives you free reign."
"Come on, even if he didn't, I would be here anyway."
"Of course," Lee laughed. "No one can come between the great Starbuck and what she wants."
"No, no one can come between the great Starbuck, and her wingman, the great Apollo. I thought I told you, nothing trumps Starbuck and Apollo."
"Oh yeah, nothing?" Lee asked seductively.
"Nothing at all." Kara replied, wondering where he was going with this.
Lee wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned in to kiss her.
"What about Lee and Kara? Are they unbeatable?"
"Well flyboy, you're going to have to try that again for me to decide." Kara replied as she leaned in to kiss him again.
Hours later on another level of cloud nine, two other people, Lee and Kara could be found sleeping peaceful in each others embrace. For once in a long time, Lee was able to sleep soundly knowing that Kara was there, and he was safe in her arms.
That is the end to chapter four. Chapter five will be the morning after, and possibly another father/son confrontation. They are such great moments! The more reviews I get, the sooner I will skip the homework and write the next chapter, so hit that little button. You don't have to say much. Just say hi I read it. Even if you didn't like it. Just say anything. One word will do. Come on you know you can do it.
