Making her way to the hanger bay Amy received whistles and gasps. The gasps generally occurred after someone realized who she was. She entered the hanger deck and almost ran into the Chief. "Whoa sorry there miss."

He did a double take and realized it was Amy, "Wow Amy? Who would have thought you clean up okay kid."

Amy blushed, "Thanks chief you're not too bad yourself."

He chuckled and offered her his arm, "Please allow me to walk you to your carriage my lady."

Amy couldn't help but laugh, "My lady seriously?"

He chuckled but stopped when he saw Cally and Dee approaching. Amy heard him mumble a 'holy frak' and she smiled. "Chief I think maybe you should lead Cally instead."

He nodded not really even paying much attention. His eyes were glued to Cally who was walking in a blue dress. He walked over and offered Cally his arm, and Dee walked over to Amy. She playfully bumped Amy, "About time those two got together."

Dee watched the Chief help Cally into a raptor full of crew members and pilots going to the party. Dee turned to Amy, "You hun look stunning."

Amy smiled and took in Dee's dark purple silk dress, "Thank you. You stole the words out of my mouth. Dee seriously you look beautiful."

Dee blushed and Amy noticed Billy was no where to be seen. "So where's Billy?"

Dee sighed, "He's not feeling well so I told him to stay here."

Amy nodded and offered Dee her arm, "As it so happens I am dateless as well. Care to make it a girls night out?"

Dee smiled and took Amy's arm, "I would be delighted."

Dee paused as the approached the reserved raptor for The President and Commander. "I can just meet you there though. I am sure your mom isn't my biggest fan since I kind of yelled at her remember?"

Amy shook her head, "Dee my mom won't care and we have plenty of room so get in here."

Amy helped Dee climb up on to the wing, which was a difficult task in heels. It was only a matter of minutes until Amy saw Bill approaching. Her and Dee had both decided to just wait on the wing and Amy hugged Bill as he jumped up. Bill was wearing a black button up shirt with dark blue jeans and it made Amy think of him back on Caprica. "It's nice to see you out of the uniform. You should do it more often."

Bill laughed and looked at Amy, "Are you sure that is what you want to wear out tonight Amy?"

Amy and Dee both laughed, "You are such a Dad! Don't worry I have a date, and I don't think they are going to try anything regardless of what I am wearing."

Bill looked confused and Dee walked over and put her arm around Amy. "Sir I hope you don't mind that I am her escort for the evening."

Bill shook his head and laughed. Dee poked Amy and pointed towards the hanger bay entrance. Laura was wearing a dark green dress that almost matched Amy's red one. The material was silk but it was twisted around the underside of Laura's chest, which accentuated that feature. It flowed down to her ankles and although it was lose it looked like the bottom was twisted around Laura's body. Laura wore a pair of red strappy heels to complete the outfit. Dee was standing open mouthed and since Bill was facing Amy he had yet to see Laura. Amy smiled not really taking notice, because to her Laura always looked beautiful. "Madam President you look like a Goddess."

Laura blushed at Dee's comment and that was when Bill turned around. The sight of Laura made him not pay much attention and he stepped to far over falling off the wing of the raptor. Amy laughed knowing that the fall was to small to have caused any injury. "Laura she's right. You look… there are no words that would actually do you justice."

Laura blushed and kissed Bill on the cheek. He helped her onto the wing, and everyone took their seats. It wasn't until they were flying that Laura turned to Dee. "Dee that was lovely what you said back there. I didn't know that you and Billy were going tonight."

Dee looked at Amy, "Actually Billy is feeling a bit sick so I decided to go. Your lovely daughter here asked if I would accompany her since neither of us has a date. Thank you for the lift by the way."

Laura looked at Amy and smiled, "It's our pleasure Dee. The two of you are going to have so much fun tonight."

Bill had moved up to talk to the raptor pilots about calling into Cloud Nine before they arrived to let the protection detail get to the landing bay. Suddenly everything went dark for Amy and Laura.

Laura and Amy were sitting together inside Amy's quarters. There was another woman standing by Asteria's crib. "You know Madam President, Ms. Roslin, sometimes there's no other choice."

Suddenly the scene was in Laura's quarters. The woman was there as well and Amy could feel the tension growing. There was a loud bang, and then darkness.

Amy and Laura both screamed and Bill and Dee both looked at them with worry written all over there faces. Amy looked to Laura who silently told her not to mention anything. Bill was kneeled down in front of Laura, "Are you okay? What happened to the two of you?"

Laura shrugged, "I must have fallen asleep and had a nightmare."

Bill nodded and turned to Amy who tried to look as surprised as she could, "She startled me with her scream."

Bill still looked worried, but both he and Dee bought it. They landed on Cloud Nine and began to make there way to the party. Once inside the main room Dee and Amy took off in search of Kara, Zak, and a few other friends. Laura and Bill had gone off to the side saying the bare minimum to those who approached them.

Amy was having a blast; since she was finally 16 she was drinking with everyone, and dancing with Dee. Zak had grabbed Kara during a slow song and Amy had seen Bill and Laura separate for a bit. Amy looked at Dee, "Do you mind if I go ask someone for a dance?"

Dee mocked shock, "and here I thought you only wanted me Amy."

Amy laughed and winked at Dee as she made her way to her mother. The tempo of the music was picking up as Amy approached, "Is there any way I could persuade our President to join me on the dance floor?"

Laura's face lit up, "Yes I have been dying to dance all night!"

Amy led Laura out to the center of the dance floor. They held hands and jumped around, twirling and spinning to the beat of the music. Eventually Kara worked her way over and joined in. Soon Dee and Cally had come over and the women were lined up and pressed against each other. They were moving their hips in the same motion and laughing hysterically. They then spread out a bit and started to do a well known Tauron line dance. Everyone was watching and started cheering when Bill joined in standing by Laura. Pictures were being taken and all of them were smiling like crazy.

When the song ended Bill grabbed Laura and started to sway as the music became slower. Amy grabbed Dee, and Cally and Kara went off to find their dates. "Amy I just want to thank you for spending this time with me. It's nice to have someone to let lose with you know. I mean I have Billy, but you know how he is. He's kind of clumsy and he's not much a girlfriend I can talk to."

Amy smiled and laughed at the comment of Billy. "That's what family is for Dee."

Dee looked at Amy with tears in her eyes, "You consider me family?"

Amy hugged Dee, "Yes I do and so does everyone else. I hate to break it to you Dee but you're kind of stuck with the whole group."

Dee just smiled and looked around at everyone. She saw Laura and Bill dancing, staring into each other's eyes with a look of pure desire. She saw Kara and Zak doing shots, and then she saw Lee off to the side talking with some pilots. She knew that the Roslin/Adama family was dysfunctional but she was glad she was being allowed in it. "I think I can handle all of you."

Dee smiled and hugged Amy before dragging her off to get another glass of Ambrosia. Amy was looking out through the crowd and was happy to see Laura and Bill together looking happy. As she watched she saw her mom throw her head back in a laugh, and then lay it against Bill's shoulder as they continued to dance. "They seem happy."

Amy was startled by Lee standing next to her. "Hey Lee, yeah they do look happy."

Amy was still not thrilled with Lee and he knew it. "I'm not going to do anything stupid Amy. I don't want to hurt anyone."

Amy scoffed, "it's a little late for that."

Lee turned Amy so that she was facing him, "Amy I'm serious. I want my dad to be happy and Laur.. and your mom does that. She makes him happy, and she is happy when she is with him. Can I tell you something?"

Amy shrugged as she took another sip of her ambrosia. "Amy this isn't an excuse for her, but when your mom was with me she always had this different look in her eye. I think that because of the Camalla she thought that I looked like my dad. I mean she knew who I was, or at least she always called me by my name or callsign. She did this thing once where she traced my jaw line like she was searching for the scars my father has."

Amy didn't let it show but she was pleased, maybe Laura had thought she was looking at Bill. "Lee if you're looking for pity then go somewhere else. I don't care if she thought you looked like my father, it still was a stupid mistake."

Lee nodded and took one last look at Amy before he left. Amy looked out to see Laura and Bill still dancing, completely oblivious as to everyone else around them.
