The Daughter of Kenobi (A Star Wars Fanfic)

Part XVIII: Cantina Disaster

{3rd Person} {Cantina}

Jaydin got closer to her father as they lead Luke, Threepio and Artoo into the smokey cantina. She carefully placed the hood on her head. Inside was a ton of different alien species with an array of characteristics. Some had one eye, others had thousands. Some had claws and fur, while others had smooth, slimy scales.

Jaydin quickly and quietly made her way to the bar, hoping her father wouldn't see her and try to pull her away. It wasn't often that they ever got to go to a cantina, especially together. With the threat of the Empire lurking over the galaxy, Jaydin only ever got to go to a cantina when she any extra credits from a season or from selling something that her father and her had no use for. The bartender ignored her, instead focusing on Luke and the two droids.

"We don't serve their kind here!" The bartender yelled at a lost and shocked Luke. He looked at the bartender startled and confused.

"What?" He asked. Jaydin sighed quietly, shaking her head as she watched voth the bartender and Luke.

"Luke take the droids to the speeder. They aren't allowed in the cantina." Jaydin said over the music, ignoring the glares she got from the people and aliens around her.

"Your droids. They'll have to wait outside. We don't want them in here." The bartender explained rudely.

Luke looked at Obi-Wan, whom was talking with a Galactic pirate, then at Jaydin who just nodded to him from the bar, a signal to have them out at the speeder before they cause a fight. Then he noticed at least several gruesome creatures, also at the bar, give him very unfriendly glares. He turned to Threepio, patting his shoulder.

"Listen, why don't you wait outside by the speeder. We don't want any trouble." Luke said the golden droid.

"I heartily agree with you sir." Threepio said before he and Artoo go outside.

Jaydin looked back at the bartender, trying to decide what to have. Luke came up next to her and joined her.

"What can I get ya, little lady?" The bartender asked her.

"Oh um..." Jaydin glanced at Luke then over at her Father, whom was talking with a seven foot hairy animal. From what she could tell and remember, it looked to be a Wookie. She looked back over at the bartender.

"Do you have Ardees?" Jaydin asked. The bartender nodded.

"Then I'll have one of those." The bartender nodded and went to begin to make the drink. Luke stood close to a sitting Jaydin, clearly not use to being in the smokey cantina like she was. Jaydin searched threw her little bag of credits she kept attached to her belt, before setting some credits down on the bar top.

"Negola dewaghi wooldugger?!?" A large alien with multiple eyes said towards Luke. The alien was clearly drunk. A short human walks up to it, looking at Luke then at Jaydin.

Jaydin's and Luke's drinks got placed in front of her, she nodded towards the bartender, sighing as she knew what could possibly go down. Luke just tried to ignore the alien, instead taking a drink of whatever got out in front of him.

"He doesn't like you." The human said to the farmboy.

"I'm sorry." Luke replied.

"I don't like you either. But you girl, what's a girl like you doing with him?" The unknown person said, directing the last part to an uncomfortable Jaydin.

Jaydin didnt say anything, discreetly moving her free hand to where her lightsaber was hidden. The alien began to yell out unintelligible things and getting agitated. Luke was getting nervous as Jaydin remained calm, simply taking a sip of the Ardees she had ordered.

"Don't insult us. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have a death sentence in twelve systems." The person said as if that was a good thing.

"I'll be careful then." Luke said. Jaydin simply rolled her eyes at her best friend. He didn't know how to handle himself during a confrontation.

"Now boys. Don't get all agitated that I didn't reply to you. Maybe I'm just not interested. I don't need to be with such an uncivilized person. And I'll five you a tip when talking to women, never say you're a wanted man in twelve systems, some women don't want that. So back off, or Force help me, you'll regret it." Jaydin said, her voice steady and calm. The person and alien looked took back.

"You'll be dead." The unknown person said, as he reached forward to try and grab Jaydin's wrist. A rodent lets out a high pitched noise, causing everything to move away from them. Obi-Wan looks over as Jaydin jerk her wrist away from the person.

"I said back off! Maybe next time, listen to a woman you Bantha brain!" Jaydin yelled, her Ardees was spilled all over the counter top and the unknown person who had tried to grab her.

"This little one isn't worth your time. Let me buy you something..." Obi-Wan said, trying to calm the situation down.

Suddenly the alien let's out a powerful blow, throwing Jaydin and Luke across the room. They hit and crashed threw tables and ended up breaking a large jug. Jaydin hit the floor in a crouching position, Luke just hitting the floor. The alien held out his blaster, which was pointed at Jaydin's father. Jaydin found one on the ground, pointing it at the person near the alien. She held it in one hand, her lightsaber in the other.

"No blasters! No blasters!" The bartender yelled in a panic. Obi-Wan took out his lightsaber, the blade coming to life almost immediately.

Jaydin glanced at her father, waiting for a signal for anything. Her father glanced cautiously over at her, nodding. She lowered her lightsaber and the blaster. She scowled, looking over to see Luke standing up now.
