Probably never will be. Distribution: Please let me know where. Feedback: er.br@sympatico.ca Summary: Three of the girls from the list have a close encounter with the Battlestar Galactica. It was a warm sunny day in West Virginia with the temperature climbing to 100 degrees when Betty, Jen and Jade decided to go for a hike in the woods. They had heard stories of ghosts and strange going on's at the base of the cliffs in the middles of the old forest and, being true fans of the strange and mysterious, the three young and beautiful woman packed up their sleeping bags and enough food for three days and off they went. By the time they reached the small clearing at the base of the cliffs Betty and Jen where both getting tired of the way Jade kept complaining about her sore feet. "Look you knew we were going on a long hike so why didn't you put on proper footwear instead of those damn high heels?" Jen scolded Jade. That's when Jade started complaining about how Americans just enjoyed walking through the woods too much. "Hey, just be glad we are *not* in Northern Ontario right now, its black fly season up there." Betty snickered. "Hahaha! Yeah Jade, then we would all be forced to put our tops back on." Jen laughed. As Jade sat down to remove her high heeled sandals, Betty and Jen jumped over a fallen log. That's when Betty noticed something strange. "Hey guys look at those carvings on the cliff wall." The other two came over quickly, Jade now barefoot as well as topless, and stared at the strange writing. "It looks like something that should be inside a pyramid in Egypt, not a the side of a cliff in the United States." Jade declared. "I didn't know the ancient Egyptians where ever in North America." Jen added. Shrugging, Betty said "Oh well, there's lots of mysteries on this stupid planet, guess this is another one." "What do you think it says?" Jade asked. "I don't know, but I'm going to take some pictures of it, maybe then we can find somebody who can read it." Betty said. "Yeah at the university." Jen agreed. As Betty snapped a few photos of the carvings, moving vines and other wild growth out of the way for better look. That's when Jen and Jade noticed that some of the images looked very familiar. "Hey Betty is it just me or you do notice what those carvings look like as well?" Jen asked. "What are you talking about?" Betty asked confused. Jade started giggling. "It looks like the Galactica." "Oh don't be silly, now why would ancient Egyptians carve images of a battlestar, there's no such thing silly, its only make believe, geez don't you know fantasy from reality?" Betty scoffed. "Maybe you should move back here and take a look." Jen suggested. Shaking her head at her two companions Betty moved back to where they were standing at looked at the cliff carving once more. The two were right, some of the images did indeed look like a battlestar. Betty was about to say something about it when the ground suddenly gave out and the three were pulled under the soil, landing in a heap on the floor of a cold, dark, underground cave. "Ouch my butt." Jen moaned "My head, somebody hit me on the head." Jade wailed. Betty slowly sat up and reached into her pants pocket and pulled out her lighter. "Give me something I can burn for light." She calmly said. "Here take this, I think its my shirt." Jen said as she handed the article to Betty. "Hey that's mine." Jade wailed again as Betty set the lighter to it. "I have an extra you can borrow." Betty told her. "Hey look there's a wooden door over there, and there's a picture of the Galactica carved into it." Jen exclaimed excitedly. "I think we should get out of here." Jade whined. "Oh come on girl where's your sense of adventure?" Betty chuckled. "I left it up there." Jade snapped as she pointed towards the ceiling, which had closed up behind them when the feel through the ground. "Well looks like that door is our only way out." Jen said. "Yup, come on lets get it open and see where it leads." Betty said as she dropped the burning T-shirt and joined Jen at the door. "I don't think that's a good idea guys, maybe we should try to dig our way out instead." Jade was really getting scared now and it showed in the way her voice trembled. Ignoring Jade, Jen and Betty tugged hard on the door, its old hinges screeching as it was forced open. Suddenly there was a gust of wind, blowing so strong that it picked the girls up and they sailed through the air. "*Why doesn't anybody ever listen to me*?" Jade screamed. The three girls landed with a thud . Jen found herself upside down. "Who was the fucking idiot who put these damn stairs here, I scratched my boobs." She yelled as loud as she could. "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." Betty said. "That's because we are in *West Virginia*." Jen screamed as she picked herself up and looked around. "Hey computers, think we can get on the net?" "Just who are you three half naked ladies and how did you get on my ship?" A stern voice said. Turning around slowly Jen looked into the yes of Commander Adama, who's lap Betty was sitting on. She wished she could faint when she saw Betty put her arms around the older man and put on a very Starbuck like grin as she said "Greetings from the planet Earth!" and give the great Commander a great big kiss. "I told you that carving on the cliff wall was the Galactica, but would you believe me, no, well I guess you have no choice now do you, and what's especially good is the fact that I got the prize." Betty and Jen turned towards Jade and saw that she had landed on the one and only lieutenant Starbuck. And she had her hand resting on his crotch. That's when they pounced. ***** Part 2 Jen was the first one down the steps, but only because she jumped down with a fury landing right next to the prone Jade and Starbuck. Grabbing Jade by the hair and pulling her up Jen screamed. "*Get your hands off him he's mine*!" "Oh no he's not, I got to him first." Jade yelled back as she dislodged Jen's hand from her hair and threw herself on top of Starbuck, her bare breast landing in his face. By this time Betty had finished walking calmly down the steps and was about to brake up the fight, but she found herself grabbed from behind. She quickly spun around. "Hey what do you think your doing?" She yelled at the man who had grabbed her finding it was Captain Apollo. The Captain gave her a once over with his eyes and grinned as he said, "Just checking out the sights." Betty was about to respond but at that moment Jade was yelling once more. "*Hey let me go let me go*" Betty turned to see jade in the arms of Boomer, who had pulled her off Starbuck.. Jades complaints stopped when Boomer`s hands moved up and cupped her breasts and started to lightly squeeze them. "Oh okay, you can do that, yeah that feels good." Jade smiled. That gave Jen the chance she needed. She quickly straddled Starbuck and bent down and whispered in his ear. "Well now sexy know any place more private we could go so I can ride ya?" Starbuck grinned and replied "I have my own quarters now, and speaking of riding I happen to have a pony boy costume in my closet if your game." Betty had overheard what Starbuck said and turned to Apollo "He's kinky? None of the books or shows said he was kinky, how come Jen gets the kinky one? Oh that's just not fair." Apollo grinned as he said "You want kinky? I can show you kinky." Betty thought on it a few minutes then asked the Captain "You got handcuffs?" Commander Adama couldn't take being ignored any longer and he shouted "Apollo, Starbuck and Boomer, take these three young ladies someplace where they can be properly dressed... NOW!" "Oh yes Sir, by your command Sir." The three warriors said together as they escorted the three Earth girls off the bridge. ***** So what will happen to Betty, Jade and Jen? Will Starbuck wear the pony boy costume? Will Apollo bring out his hand cuffs? Will Boomer let go of Jade's breasts? Has Boomer ever held a woman's breast before? Will the girls find a way home? Do the girls want to find a way home? And what happened to Colonel Tigh? How come he didn't say anything during all of this? Tune in again to find out, same Bat time, same Bat channel. ***** To be continued...
