*cutscene to the desert where Fennec is teaching Tierra to shoot. The scene goes to a perfect bullet hole in the middle of a prop dummy's head."

Fennec slowly looks over to Tierra. "Are you sure you've never fired a gun?"

Tierra looked shocked at the dummy and then to Fennec. "I promise I've never even held a gun til today."

*It jump cuts to Tierra perfectly executing headshots on multiple dummy's from all sorts of angles and distances.*

Fennec let out a shocked laugh. "I don't think you need any training with guns."

Tierra chuckled nervously. "I guess not."

*cutscene to Tierra training with Boba*

She uses one sword and completely dominates the fight.

Boba looks at Fennec in shock. Fennec gives him the 'I told you so' look.

He clears his throat. "Good work. Now let's try both swords."

"Are you sure? I don't know if I can handle both." Tierra said, intimidated by the thought of using both swords.

"Absolutely. You've shown that you have natural fighting instincts. There's not a doubt in my mind that you will excel with both. With some practice of course."

Tierra takes a deep breath. "Okay..."

After pulling out the second sword, they start dueling. She struggles for a few tries. After an hour and several attempts later, she starts getting better. "We should stop for the day, it'll be dark soon." Boba stated.

Tierra shook her head. "One more go."

Boba nodded, getting into stance. Tierra was dripping with sweat and breathing hard. She put her swords up, ready.
She swung her swords toward Boba and he swung his gaffi stick in reply. They fought for what felt like forever, Tierra slowly gaining the upper hand. Tierra eventually knocked the gaffi stick out of his hands and held a sword to him.

"Dank Farik! You said you had no prior training of any sorts yet you fight like you've trained your whole life!" Boba exclaimed.

Tierra shrugged nervously. "Like you said, I guess I just have natural fighting instincts?"

"You're ready for whatever comes your way. I feel pity for whoever has to cross paths with you." Boba said, almost beaming with pride.

"Uh..thanks?"

"Come. I believe you've earned yourself a drink." Boba said, gesturing for Tierra to follow him.

*cut to Din arriving at Boba's*

He walks in to see Boba, Fennec and Tierra sitting at the table laughing and having dinner.

Tierra looked up and saw him first. "Din! You're back!" She got up and gave him a hug.

Din stiffened, not sure what to do. He pats her back, not used to giving hugs.

Boba and Fennec smirk at each other and look back at the sight.

Tierra released him from the hug, patting his shoulder. "Just couldn't stay away could you?" she chuckled and playfully winked at him.

He cleared his throat. "I was..just coming to see how your first day of training went."

"First and last day of training." Fennec interjected.

Confused, Din looked at Tierra then to Fennec and Boba. "What?"

"She far exceeds past needing any training. She fights like a professional assassin almost." Boba explained. "It's quite impressive, actually."

Fennec gave Tierra a smirk. "She shoots almost as good as me. One heck of a marksman you got there."

"I thought you'd never done any of this before." Din said.

Tierra shrugged. "I didn't until today. I'm just unusually good at fighting I guess."

"She even gave Krrrsantan a run for his money. Knocked him right on his ass." Fennec said, impressed.

Tierra looked at Din who was staring at her.

"What?" She asked.

"I'm heading to Endor tomorrow. If you're still wanting to come with me, you obviously can take care of yourself, you're welcome to join." Din offered.

Tierra's eyes lit up. "Really?!"

"If that's what you want. I'd be happy to have y....another set of guns with me"

Boba and Fennec exchange looks.

"After we get back I'll be back here. I still want to hear about my mother." Tierra said to Boba.

"You are welcome always, Tierra Gaelexi." Boba said.
