no_takebacksSo, it turns out that The Powers That Be lost an arm-wrestling contest to the Shipper Nation, and Kara and Lee are going on their very first date!
As you can see, they're pretty excited. And they should be! Because YOU get to plan this event! That's right. This is your show! You can put them wherever you like-- they can be in the BSG 'verse, our universe, heck, you can put them in Casablanca and give Lee an awesome hat. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT, FOLKS.
So... Where are they going? How did they get there? Where are they staying? What are they wearing? Did they go to a movie? Did they go the firing range? Did they go to a fancy restaurant? Did they eat cheap fast food in the park? Did they cook for each other? Was there even any time for dinner? ;)
BE SAPPY, BE SMUTTY, BE SHIPPERS. ♥ Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!!!

Date: 2010-06-04 03:44 pm (UTC)She really did. So she had no idea how she'd managed to ruin a perfectly good long weekend by agreeing to going on one. With one of her nuggets' hotshot flyboy brother, no less.
If there was anything Kara hated more than blind dates, it was blind dates with other viper jocks. All they ever wanted to talk about was stats and maneuvers, and while she loved flying, she didn't need to sit through Advanced Flight on her off hours, thank you very much.
That's why she'd had to make this worth her while. Kara'd agreed to the date (Ok, so maybe she hadn't exactly agreed so much as she'd lost a bet) if and only if she could set the agenda. She smirked to herself as she climbed into her jeep to pick up the unsuspecting War College cadet and whisk him off on the whirlwind tour she'd planned. After the firing range, paintball arena, kickboxing class, and a stop at Spike's Bellybusters, he wouldn't be able to run screaming fast enough.
Yes, she thought proudly, Lee Adama wouldn't even know what hit him.
(There might be more later. Maybe! No promises!)

Kara: Not really. A little puttering.
Lee: So... How about dinner?
Kara: Gods, not that horrible Italian place.
Lee: It's not that... Alright, fine. Where do you want to go then?
Kara: (names a bar she likes)
They go, they nom pub fare, the band is good (which Kara expected, otherwise it wouldn't be one of her favorite bars) so they drag each other out onto the dance floor and voila. Date.

Date: 2010-06-04 05:24 pm (UTC)"How, Apollo? You ruined my last box of cigars. There's nothing in the fleet that's gonna get you out of this one." She groaned at him, dropping the scattered remnants of her cigars into the garbage and wiping her hands on her pants.
"C'mon, Kara. I said I'm sorry." He looked at her sheepishly, like a little boy who was being scolded by his mother.
"How? How are you going to make it up to me? Gonna grow some tobacco in the gardens on Cloud Nine?" She drawled, doubtful.
"That's it! Cloud Nine. I will take you to dinner on Cloud Nine. We can go when we make our last security checks - there should be time." He smiled at her, excited about his idea.
She shot him a dubious look and pulled on her fatigues. "You're frakking kidding me, right, Apollo? I hate fancy dinners. Give me some pizza and beer - now that'd be a date." She swallowed at her slip of the tongue. It wasn't really going to be a date, was it? She pushed down unexpected twinge of excitement, and maintained her bland expression.
But Lee was deep in thought and didn't seem to notice her slip. "Okay then, why don't you let me surprise you. Neither of us are running CAPs tomorrow evening. Meet me in the observation deck at twenty-one hundred hours."
Kara rolled her eyes, feeling the slightest bit of remorse for yelling at him. He was such a earnest frakker sometimes and he was staring at her with those godsdamned gorgeous eyes. She relented. "Okay, Apollo, but you'd better make it good," she warned, slamming her locker door closed. "I'll be missing a good triad game for you."
In her arrogant Starbuck way, she sauntered out of his sight, leaving him standing there wondering how in the frak he was going to impress her without making a total fool of himself.

From: Captain Adama
To: Lieutenant Thrace
Subject: Cloud Nine recon op
Starbuck,
Meet Racetrack and Skulls in the hanger bay for immediate transport to Cloud Nine. Bring civilian clothes and an overnight bag for undercover work. SitRep- top clearance. Will debrief upon arrival.
Apollo
~~~
The note could have come from any superior officer and been perfectly believable at face value. The problem was, the note hadn't come from Tigh, or the Commander, or just any other officer. No, it had come from Lee. And she and Lee had made a bit of game, in recent months, of using military-speak to obfuscate the details of their illicit hookups. What is he up to?
Odds were pretty good he was up to something. At the very least, he must have chuckled to himself when he typed "debrief", because they'd used it before - with less than military results. Only one way to find out, she thought, and grabbed her kit and a change of clothes.
[TBC]

Date: 2010-06-04 06:05 pm (UTC)this is the Adama Brothers 'verse and ever-so-slightly NSFW :)
Date: 2010-06-04 06:22 pm (UTC)Just be cool, Sam had said. You'll love Kara. She's a riot.
Lee had tried to explain that the words "cool" and "tax lawyer" had probably never been used in the same sentence at any point in human history, but Sam wouldn't hear it. He's contemplating just telling her that he's an actor who plays lawyers when she appears at the table. She's wearing jeans and a t-shirt and he has completely lost the ability to form words. He hopes he's not drooling. Dee had said she was pretty, and while his sister-in-law wasn't wrong, she wasn't right, either: Kara's more than pretty. Kara is a level of beauty that he doesn't think he could describe if he had a lifetime to mull it over.
"Lee Adama, huh? Kara Thrace," she says, sticking her hand out for him to shake. Her grip is firm, but not unpleasantly so, and his mind is already wandering to what might happen later, if he can manage not to screw this up. She looks him over, just once, before she sits down. "Well, you sure don't look like Sammy. Maybe Zak. Guess the family resemblance is all in the arms, huh?" She gives him a wink and sits down, and she has half of a breadstick in her mouth before he can even think of a reply that doesn't make him sound like a caveman.
Lee knows it's love before they even get the menus open, and by the time they get to dessert, it's all he can do not to say it. She kisses him in the cab on the way back to her place, and he finds that he's irrationally angry at the driver for being in the car. Kara laughs like she knows what's he's thinking, and he joins in after a moment, because he's caught up in the vibrant energy of this enchanting woman and he can't not laugh, he can't stop himself from finding an outlet for this sudden burst of joy. They don't stop laughing until they're in her apartment and they have better things to do. Much later, as he's leaving, she tells him that he better be free next Friday, and he can't say yes fast enough.
