Feedback: vipercadet@crosswinds.net Starbuck came rushing into Apollo's quarters, his face flushed and his breath ragged. Boxey looked up from the game he and Muffit had been playing, and tried to hide is grin. 'Hi uncle Starbuck!' 'Boxey, is your dad here?' 'No uncle Starbuck, I haven't seen him all day, I guess he's busy' the boy said, turning back to Muffit to resume their play. Starbuck dashed out of the door, missing the smug look on the little boy's face. He bumped into Boomer as he was running down the hallway to see Athena. 'Heya partner, what's the rush?' his friend inquired. 'Boomer, have you seen Apollo anywhere? He... he'd agreed to meet me at the shuttle bay after I came back from patrol, but he wasn't there! And Boxey hasn't seem him either, and...' '...and now you're worried that something terrible's happened to him. Relax Bucko, the Captain's a grown man, he can take care of himself'. 'Yeah... I guess so...' Starbuck pouted. After a playful slap on the shoulder from Boomer he dashed 'round the corner and practically ran to Athena's quarters. 'The... 'Thena have you seen Apollo?' Athena rolled her eyes, not failing to notice that, as always, Starbuck was more interested in her brother than he was in her. 'I haven't seen him Starbuck, have you looked in the Officer's Club yet?' 'I've looked everywhere!' Starbuck was beginning to get desperate. I can't find him, 'Thena, you've got to help me find him!' 'Sorry honey, but I've got a date tonight over on the Rising Star'. Starbuck retreated with hanging shoulders, thinking on how unfair life was. He had hoped to have a date himself tonight, with a nice bottle of ambrosia... and his lover's body draped over his... but his all of a sudden his secret lover had gone missing. And here he was, alone, worried sick about Apollo. No, life wasn't fair. He decided to go to his quarters and wait for Apollo there, in case he might decide to show up. He opened the door to his quarters and listlessly sat himself down on the longseat, pouring himself a glass of ambrosia. He stopped suddenly when he heard a suspicious sound coming from the bedroom. There was someone in his quarters! He put his hand on his gun and sneaked up to the door. 'Hands up! Wha... Apollo!?' Apollo was stretched out on the sheets, naked, and visibly aroused. 'April fool's, Starbuck' he grinned. Starbucks mouth fell open. 'What are you doing here?' he yelled angrily. 'Get the frak out of my quarters, now!' Apollo's grin faded, his lip trembling in disappointment. 'You... you mean you don't want me here?' His lover grinned. A sly, wicked little grin. 'Just kidding. April fool's, 'Pollo... remember?'
