DPP: In the beginning...

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Good morning, Shipper Nation.  Welcome to day two of my reign of terror the land of rainbows and kittens.  I have one question for you:


How did those crazy kids meet?

Disregard the lame-ass flashbacks in Daybreak for a moment.  I know that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU has their own version in their head of how Kara and Lee met.  So guess what, peeps?  I want to hear it.
 
Was it funny? Angsty? Silly? Did sparks fly? Was it the traditional rom-com meetcute or a full-out confrontational exchange? Did the earth move and angles weep?  Did they know each other as kids?  Meet at the Academy?  Attend band camp together?


Whatever it is, I need to know, so spill, m'kay?  *g*

NOTE:  For purposes of this discussion, I'm asking you to forget about the DB flashbacks and go back and remember what your theory was before we were bombarded with all that.  (Not just because of the controversial table scene but because the meeting and subsequent early interactions of K/L deserve their OWN FRAKKING MINISERIES-- NOT FIVE MINUTES IN A HASTILY-WRITTEN FINALE.)

Great question!

In my head I always think that they met through Zak. I'm not clear on whether Starbuck was breaking Apollo's records and that's how Apollo heard about Starbuck. It is possible assuming they both went to the Academy. I think they would've an instant connection with other because of their love for flying but never ever would they do anything to hurt Zak. I can see them being good friends with each other, hanging out and such but with that invisible line ever present that they couldn't cross.

The mystery of the pilots past and their initial meeting in canon is one of the reasons I love the pre mini fics. It could go so many different ways.

I know! It's what makes pre-mini so fun. Sooooo many possibilities. : )
