I stumble forwards as the Ghost lands outside of the town i had seen Steel in a month ago. We all get out of the Ghost and head to the bar. Kanan and Ezra head to the hill on the outskirts of town to train. I walk in with Hera, Sabine, and Zeb behind me. When we get in not many people sit in the bar a few people are playing cards others are talking. In the farthest left corner i see three boys one with honey brown hair one with messy hair and another with dusty blond hair. I walk over to the table and Blast gets up. He opens his arms and hugs me and i smile at him when he lets go. Commit punches my shoulder and nods his head. Steel grabs my shoulder and guides me to the table. We sit down and start to talk.

"Empire day plans?" Blast asks me a look of excitement in his eyes.

"Yeah me and the others are attacking there big parade to night you guys can blow up a few ships if you know what i mean. We'll get seen and they'll think its us being Jedi you know." I say softly and smiles appear on their faces.

"Great idea... but that doesn't sound like some thing you would make up." Commit says. "Its like agents the rules and you follow all the rules."

"Since when does she follow the rules." Steel asks and i smile.

"All the time Steel maybe if you'd stop starring at her face and giving her goo goo eyes you would notice." My mouth falls open and Steel's face turns pink and he elbows Commit in the side. I clear my throat and continue.

"So whats up at the Sift?" I ask acting casual even after what i just heard. I'm sure my cheeks are pink.

"Food is in great demand at the Sift some of the of planet groups are sending food to help us." Steel answers and i nod.

"Good that"s great." I say calmly. Some people volunteered to go off planet to carry on my work farther. I wanted to but it was hard i was already leader of the Sift. Everyone goes quite and me, Steel, Blast, and Commit look up to see three Tie fighters landing.

The boys look at me and i nod. Steel puts his arm around me and acts like he's telling me a joke and i start to giggle. Kanan and Ezra walk in and watch them. As they walk over to the bar Kanan looks at me and meets my stare. I'm the first to look away. A storm trooper walks over to our table and out of the corner of my eye i see Kanan watching him. I already had my lightsaber in my hand under the table. Steel squeezes my shoulder to the trooper it looked like he is pulling me closer but to me i know its Steel warning me that we shouldn't start a fight that doesn't need to be started. The trooper turns and walks off and i look at the others. At they same time we let out a breath.

"The Imperial holonet broadcasts at all times." Says one of the troopers.

"No ones asked for it in for well ever." Says the store owner.

"Its the law." The trooper says threatening the man. He turns on the holonet and we look at each other. Steel whispers in my ear.

"Wish we were airing today don't you?" Steel asks me.

"Yeah i'd so love to see there faces when the Sifter cast breaks through on Dark day." I say softly and he smiles.

"This is Senator in exile Gale Travis." We all stiffen and look at the screen. "I bring you more news the Empire doesn't wish you to hear. I urge you to boycott all Empire day festival." He says and i smile as the troopers demand the holonet be shut off.

"Can't its the law." He says and the troopers storm out. I watch as Hera, Zeb, and Sabine walk over to Kanan. Me, Steel, Blast, and Commit walk over to. Ezra walks off and Kanan try's to go after him.

"Kanan he needs time to days not a good day for him." I say and he looks at me like he doesn't understand. I walk out of the bar with Steel, Blast, and Commit. Commit and Blast head back to the Sift but Steel stays.
