Well, I’ve already failed in my New Years Resolution to post something for every challenge. Sigh.
Six looked over at Gaius who, it had to be said, was looking depressed. Ever since the insurgency had taken to more violent forms of resistance, he was becoming increasingly unhappy. The poor baby really didn’t cope with being disliked.
Three brushed a finger along her arm, pointedly. “I want to play.” She announced sulkily “and he won’t co-operate.”
“You have to remember they are governed by their emotions.” Six made the excuse for the oblivious Baltar.
Three sighed. “That’s a stupid design flaw.”
Six nodded her agreement. “We need to cheer him up.”
Three looked thoughtful for a few minutes; then a smile lit up her face, the kind that sent shivers up your spine. “I have an idea.”

A short time later Gaius was more than a little worried. Six was almost skipping with girlish glee, and that was never a good thing.
“I…err…have…” his voice trailed off as he was pinned by a threatening gaze. “Well of course. I wouldn’t want to disappoint you.” If Six wanted to do something nice for him, refusing the gesture could be very painful.
When they got to the bedroom door she put her hands over his eyes and walked him in. “Now don’t open your eyes until I tell you. You don’t want to ruin the surprise, do you?”
He heard movement and a gasp from the bed.
“You can open them now.”
Gaius opened his eyes to admittedly his greatest fantasy. Laura Roslin sandwiched between Six and Three.
