🌟CHAPTER II: MEETING THE SKYWALKERS🌟

"Thank the maker!" C3PO said as he was lowered down into the metal tub. "This oil bath is going to feel so good. I've got such a bad case of dust contamination; I can barely move." Nakia was taking a dirty cloth she had and cleaning her droid companion. R5 hated being dirty.

"It just isn't fair." The boy said, standing up and walking over to C3PO. "Oh, Biggs is right. I'm never gonna get out of here."

"Is there anything I might do to help?" C3PO asked.

"No." The boy said, walking away to R2 and kneeling down in front of the droid. "Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest, or teleport me off this rock."

"I don't think so, sir." C3PO said as the boy walked away and grabbed something before going back to R2 and continuing to tune up the droid. "I'm only a droid and not very knowledgeable about such things not on this planet anyway. As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure which planet I'm on."

"Well, if there's a bright center to the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from." The boy said.

"I see, sir." C3PO said.

"There is one." Nakia said, causing them to stop and turn to her. "There are many systems in the galaxy. One of them has a bright center, called the Sun. It gives plants energy to survive and living things that bright light in the darkness. It also helps them survive as well, but off many different things that benefit from the Sun."

"*Beep Blip*" R5 said as she put the cloth away in her pocket and turned to see them all looking at her. 

"What?" She asked.

"How'd you know all that?" The boy asked.

"My father used to travel for work." She replied, vaguely and shrugged. "Plus, R5 knows almost everything about the galaxy. He used to work with my parents."

"*Beep Beep*" R5 said, proudly.

"That's amazing." The boy said.

"Thanks, um..." She said, not knowing his name.

"You can call me Luke." He said, simply. She nodded, smiling a bit.

"I see, sir Luke." C3PO replied as Luke walked away to grab another part. Luke chuckled.

"Just Luke." Luke replied.

"Oh..." C3PO said, as Luke walked back to R2. "And I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations. And this is my counterpart, R2-D2."

"Hello." Luke said.

"*Beep Beep Blip*" R2 responded.

"And what's your name, assuming you have one?" Luke joked.

"Nakia." Nakia answered. "And this is R5, my droid companion."

"*Beep Beep Whirl*" R5 responded.

"Not that our names matter anyway." Nakia said, standing up.

"What do you mean?" Luke asked.
