#1 - Motion - Expanded
This is for roofietoof who has spent a lot of time reading and reviewing these lately and specifically asked for 'motion' to be next. :)
ooooooooooooooooooooo
Is it ever going to actually happen? Adama wondered, watching them yet again. Apollo and Starbuck, Lee and Kara - two halves of the same soul. Apollo and ARtemis, he'd taken to calling them. Only to himself of course - they would have taken offence at anyone even remotely suggesting there was anything to 'them', other than two people who enjoyed flying together.
But for those watching them, well, it was something different entirely. he himself had tried to think of poetic ways to describe them but he was a practical man and the best he could come up with was to say they were like magnets. Magnets with opposite charges who drew each other closer and closer but whose charges suddenly flipped when they touched, and then pushed each other away. Maybe it wasn't totally accurate but it was damn close according to what he was seeing.
He'd been watching them for months, their orbits colliding then pulling apart, wondering if they could ever let go of the baggage that always stood between them and happiness together. He knew Zack was a big part of it and felt a little odd about that himself, but it was obvious to see, when one took the time to observe closely, that Lee and Kara were definitely opposite sides to the same coin; two souls divided who were spinning out of control in their haste to deny the truth. But true it was, and though he'd been prepared to see Kara as part of Zack's life, he now knew that she belonged with Lee.
It took them more than a year, surviving vast rifts in their relationship, and failed relationships with others to see it, but they finally had. Both of them. And their wildly spinning circles stopped as two soul-mates were joined back into one whole being again.
