ficlet: RPF, Katee and Trucco
The Conspiracy... inspired by people at
prolix_allie's...
It was a Starbucks (of course), and Trucco snickered as he wandered inside. She was at a table near the back, and he ignored her until he had his double-espresso-latte thing that Sandra would smack him for, claiming it was bad for him. He made sure they put the extra whipped cream on and then wandered back and dropped into the chair across from her.
"So," he offered up, setting his mug down and blowing at it.
"So? That's all you can say? So?" She regarded him over the silver-tinted sunglasses she was still wearing inside and snickered. "Trucco, you are never going to get ahead in this business if you don't talk."
"Hey." He shrugged, but grinned at her when she looked like she'd throw her napkin at him. "So, what's the plan?"
Katee blew out a breath and leaned back in her chair, "I thought you'd never ask. See," she waved her hands, beginning to sketch out her plan for world domination. Or what could have been world domination, except that she was focusing on a much smaller field, "I figure, we convince Rhymer and Ron, first. You know they're the pushovers. Then it's Eick, next. And David loves me, so that shouldn't be hard."
"Ok." Trucco stuck a finger in his whipped cream and licked it clean, "Although I'm still not sure what we're trying to do."
"Didn't I tell you?"
"Uh, no."
"Oh. Well." Katee leaned forward again, giving the whole conversation a conspiratorial air, "You know how the fans are all just ga-ga over the whole Starpollo thing, right? Only, y'know, Starbuck kinda thinks Lee is lame, but whatever."
"Er, I guess?" He wasn't much for poking the internet. Hell, he was lucky if he could remember how to get online without Sandra there.
"Anyway. They're all into the whole starcrossed lovers/romance thing," Katee's tone made it sound like she wasn't impressed, her next words confirmed, "Which, gag me with a spoon, I'd rather Starbuck hooked up with Doral, than the boring, by-the-book Apollo thing."
Amused, Trucco raised his eyebrows, "Bamber know you mock him like this?"
"Of course! This was kinda his idea, after all--" she waved a hand, "So, anyway. I figure, if we bring Anders back, he can sweep Kara off her feet and they can go be mocking and in love or whatever, and do a lot of drinking."
Trucco processed that and raised both of his eyebrows, "So, this would be another paying gig. I could use one."
"Aw, that Cage movie not working out so well?"
He shrugged, then took a sip of his espresso. "So. The plan is, I come back, and we keep Apollo and Starbuck from getting together, right?" After all, that seemed to be the basic gist of what she'd been getting at.
"Yeah! After all, Kara is so not boring enough to hook up with someone so lame." She tossed her hair, hand reaching up to flip the ends back. "So. You in?"
"Mmm..." Considering carefully, Trucco took a long swallow of his not-particularly-great coffee, then nodded, "Yeah. I'm in."
"Yes!" Katee punched the air, "Operation: Get Rid of Apollo And Starbuck Forever has begun!"

And so the TRUTH!

It's all a result of your twisted mind, I'm sure.
I love that she's wearing her sunglasses inside.
no subject
Oh, definitely. My mind? Very twisted. And insane.
They are even SHINY sunglasses, though I didn't convey that well. Sadly.
no subject
Actually, I pictured them as very shiny and reflective, so that MT kept seeing his own reflection when he looks at her... and he sees all the whipped cream that ends up on his face while he drinks his coffee.
Hee.

Also, Kandyse totally tried to steal Katee from Jamie, which was what really caused her to be married off to Lee.no subject
Oh. Yeah, that Kandyse is such a SKANK. I hear she also stole Christmas. And eats kittens for lunch and puppies for dinner.
Is it wrong that I ship Lee with that cute Ishay chick?
no subject
and now I really want to write Katee/Kandyse rpf. hrm.
no subject
Romo... Ugh. I couldn't stand him either. Is the other exception Papadama? :lol:
no subject
Actually, the other exception is Kara, because incest isn't even on the table. But if I must add incest, then, Lee-anything-with-a-pulse-bar-three-living-people-and-two-dead.
