TITLE: CHAMPAGNE AND CYLON'S

AUTHORS: AmandaC / Vryan


DISCLAIMER: NOT OURS JUST PLAYING WITH THE CHARACTERS THANKS RON

SUMMARY: A KIDNAPPING AND SOME CHAMPAGNE

Laura's head snapped back, Tom Zarek had her by the throat his strong arms holding her down. He had no intention of doing the President of the Twelve Colonies any serious harm until she threatened to order Adama to have his arrogant head snapped off. He had lost it at that point. He slapped her hard she fell back against a bulkhead heavily struggling to catch her breath. He punched her repeatedly only stopping when she had lost consciousness

William Adama paced C.I.C. The President had been missing for two days they knew she was being held somewhere in the fleet but where was beyond him. He was feeling guilty enough over the situation she had been abducted from under his nose. He had just finished dancing with her. She had been talking to Zarek in fact she had argued with him told him the only part of him she would smack would be his jaw with a baseball bat which amused him no end. Laura then excused herself to go to the ladies and that was two days ago.

Laura awoke to find the ever disgusting Tom Zarek on top of her grabbing at her clothes. She struggled against him but his superior strength won out but still she wasn't giving up without a fight she kicked him in the balls as hard as she could and pushed him off her.. Zarek responded by grabbing her again and punching her into her stomach all the while laughing at her.

Laura looked at him something wasn't right then it hit her he's a Cylon his eyes were glowing oddly. Tom Zarek was a bloody cylon. They were all frakked now well she was anyway or soon would be if she didn't get her arse in gear and kick his.

She fought hard against him even as his mouth came down hard to claim hers in a kiss that was animalistic and horribly cruel. Laura called out for help she pushed against him as he lifted the hem of her skirt. His intentions were now clear...

When he walked in on this despicable scene his stomach lurched at the sheer disgustingness of it there was his Laura half naked screaming her head off with none other than Tom Zarek on top of her making every attempt to violate her in the worst possible way. That was it Adama Lost his marbles and freaked out he was going to kill the bloody bastard he legged it over at warp speed. Grabbed Zarek by the scruff of his unsuspecting neck and pulled him of the President.

An eight man SWAT team had been sent to get Laura back when William Adama had received notice she was on the Starry Night. He wasted no time in contacting the captain of the ship and informing him in no uncertain terms what would happen to him if a hair was touched on Laura Roslin's head.

Laura was shaking her clothes torn. Adama Bent down on his knees looked her straight in the face "Madam President what the hell were you thinking? Were you thinking at all?". Adama was furious with her........... "you went willingly with him to get a book have you lost your frakking mind woman".
"Must have I'm dating you aren't I" she tried to smile but at that moment her self control crumbled and Commander Adama was faced with tears, something he had never had to worry about with her. She was a strong woman at the best of or worst of times obviously Zarek had succeeded in scaring the hell out of her............... he gathered her in his arms ignoring the stares of the other members of his SWAT team including his son. William helped her to her feet.

No too long later Laura Roslin President of the twelve colonies of Kobol emerged from her bathroom with a towel draped around her waste and a very mischevious grin on her face. Adama knew this spelt trouble he would be knackered in the morning ah well he was getting used to it now besides she kept worse hours than he did and the lack of sleep didn't bother her at all. Laura approached him extending a glass and a bottle of champagne gesturing for him to pour it out. He did placed the bottle on the table and raised his glass to her. Laura walked over put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. Adama looked down at her glad of her presence he thanked the gods of kobol everyday for her. He proceeded to kiss her thoroughly passionately and without hesitation he ran his hands from her shoulders to her backside enjoying the partial feel of skin and towel. He pulled her towel from her body pulling her to him fully, before lifting her into his arms and taking her to the bedroom.

[AmandaC]

Both of us will be, but only if they fail to give us Season 2 BSG. Only joking. Lazy bones Ryan is gone home early lucky sod. Whats the story folks any craic (irish term means fun).

Just thought I would share some words of wisdom and some interesting bits of info read below.............

The next time you are washing your hands and
complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

Here are some facts about the1500s:

Most people got married in June because they took
their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting
married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into
the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds
came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway.
Hence the saying a "thresh hold."

(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew
had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat."

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust."

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake."

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would
tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."

And that's the truth... Now, whoever said that History was boring ! ! !

Just goes to show that nothing really changes. 500 years ago you'd have the animals living in the roof. Nowadays, if you're unlucky, you can poke your head into your loft and see a family of illegal immigrants hanging out up there...

When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

Indeed. And as slate roofs began to take over from thatch, the cats and dogs phrase was superceded by the far more modern "Nothing but the rain"....


Where did you say that Prozac was Amanda? ;D

[CylonGodess]

hmmmmm... interesting but what it got to do with shipper? who is it again who need prosac??? ;D

[Ely]

First off, within any given fandom, slash is a term used to describe romantic or sexual relationships between persons of the same sex. In most cases, it referrers specifically to male/male encounters with female/female encounters being labeled femslash. The term comes from the way the ships are written shorthand being said out loud (ie, Kirk/Spock would be said, "Kirk slash Spock").

Second, for the person who asked, yes, shipper is slang rooted in the word relationship and is used to describe those who believe in one (or more) possible romantic relationship(s) between two (or more) characters in fiction.

Now, on to the shippiness. On almost every show out there, in every novel out there, shippiness can come into fandom play. Sure, I can sit and ponder the exact details of the viper's cockpit or the raptor's jump system, but if you're not writing fict I can't see why it would matter. Details are fact, Ships are theory and I find theory fun.

My BSG Ships That I Can Buy List:

Dulla/Billy (so cute)
Geata/Dulla (mebbe)
Geata/Baltar (questionable, but someone brought it up somewhere I've not made up my mind yet)
Baltar/Six (duh)
Tigh/Hand (nuff said)
Lee/Kara (too much to say in this one post)
Cally/Tyrol (so happening in future seasons)
Cally/Crashdown (could work)
Cally/Socinus (eh, mebbe)
Hotdog/Cat? (eh, dunno)
Boomer/Tyrol (oh the angst!)
Boomer/Helo (oh the wtf?)
Six/Conoy (more interesting than the ship below)
Six/Doral (a cold, non-sexual version of Lucius/Narcissa)

I'm sure I could add William/Laura on there, but frankly I think that would be something we won't see for ages. Hints, maybe, but eh, it's going to take quite a bit for them to be a ship I make a banner for. Maybe season six or eight? I don't see her illness as an obstacle - in her circumstances, life, love and living are very, very important things. I see her and Adama as the self-denying parents of the fleet, and as part of that self-denial, I expect romance to be the first thing thrown out the window.

As for any of the Laura/Lee or William/Kara - I don't give a flying frack about their age differences, but I would have to put either of them on my squicks list because of the creepy student/teacher vibe that would be coming off those ships. Just, ew, no, can't deal.

I can't agree with Zarek being seen as the sort of "bad boy" type that "the girls love" - he's a flat out pain in the arse. OH! Now I have a ship for him! Tigh/Zarek!

And seeing some of the, ahem, fantasy chatter already on this thread it makes me wonder - why aren't there handsome/hot male cylons? The boys get to ogle Six and Boomer but Doral and Conoy so aren't oglesome - totally not fair! (Though I will say that Conoy is further ahead on the oglesome scale.)

[Dangermouse]

But we (the girls) get compensated by being able to ogle Apollo (the aptly named), Helo and Tyrol. Hey, even Baltar is not too bad if you turn off the lights, close your ears and pretend he is someone else

Thank you. I was wondering when someone would get round to answering that! ;D

And seeing some of the, ahem, fantasy chatter

Not the slightest idea what you mean!

Speaking strictly personally, I find looking at the same two models all the time takes a lot of the initial appeal away. Plus, it's even worse when you know that one of them is a borderline psychotic and the other schizophrenic.
