((closed to Starbuck and the Doctor. Takes place a while after Una and Starbuck's night of drunken revelry. Also after the Rani's arrival.))

Sador had been gone all day. Which wouldn't have been anything special except for the fact that she hadn't come in to get lunch. Which meant that someone had probably fed her horrible park food. Starbuck was going to have to put up warnings about that dog: "May Throw Up On Your Shoes If You Feed Her Pizza". Oh, well. Not her problem for now.

Later that evening, she sat around in Space Mountain, bouncing her pyramid ball off the walls and humming to herself. When the humming got to be too much for her ears, she put on the recording of her father, the mysterious gift she'd gotten for Christmas. The first track wasn't the happiest sounding thing, but she didn't really care.

Sador came back a few minutes later. And she had a strange (well, not strange as in someone Starbuck didn't know, but the guy was strange) visitor. She caught the ball and paused.
