--May the 4th Special-- Gonky X Reader

[ Writers note: In honor of May the 4th, I present to you the following story. This is just for a bit of celebratory fun and not a part of the ongoing story]

It has been a long month living out on the lands of Ord Mantell. You were truly feeling like you were part of the team, which included some maintenance tasks and some occasional chores. Hunter was nice about some of the harder tasks he assigned to you, but this particular day involved rerouting some of the internal wiring for the computers.

The computer's battery system had gotten disconnected to power the fans in the 'cooling' room Echo and Tech had set up. Now that you were beginning to pack up, it was time to progressively reconnect the most important systems. Tech and Echo were working in the engine compartment under the ship, Wrecker, Hunter and Omega were off somewhere so you had all the time in the world to figure out this computer system.

You were not completely out of your depth because you have fixed computers a little before, and your only task was finding the wires they had connected to the fans and reconnecting them. However, this was not going to be your easiest task and you are nervous about screwing up their computers.

You go and grab the needed tools from Tech and after opening up the panel under the computers desk you start to rummage through the wires. As you're leaning in with your head and shoulders inside the compartment you feel something collide with your butt.

In a knee jerk reaction you pop upwards, bonking your head on the desk and drawing yourself out of the panel. You had turned around quickly to see who had touched you but none of the guys were present. It was possible that maybe Wrecker had come in and then run out but you can always hear him coming. As you're looking trying to find anyone Gonky leans forward and touches your shoulder "Gonk gonk".

You sigh and chuckle "so it was you. Well, what do you need, Gonky?"

"Gonk gon gonk '' the droid explains, apologizing for touching you inappropriately.

"It's okay, you don't exactly have hands. You wanted to help with the computer?"

"Gonk gonk"

"Well I've gotten most of the wires out of the way and I've found the ones connected to the fans but I haven't found what I'm supposed to reconnect them too"

"Gonk go gonk gonk" Gonky replies, and you scoot over so that his boxy head can get under the desk with you.

After looking for a bit and flashing on his little light to see more of the wires, Gonky draws his block head back out and explains which wire you need to connect. "Gonk gonk, gon go gonk".

"Okay" you reply and you crawl back under the desk.

In only a few more minutes you have the wires reconnected thanks to Gonky's direction, and you crawl back out, reattach the panel and take a moment just to sit on the floor and breathe. It's hard to believe that your time out in the wilds of Ord Mantell is almost over. It was only a month, but so much has happened that it feels like a lifetime has passed quickly through your senses.

You hear the steady thumps of Gonky's feet as he approaches from up the ramp outside the ship. "Thanks for the help" you smile at him as he comes up next to you.

"Gonk gonk" he replies, and leans his head forward causing a ration bar to slide off and into your lap.

"For me?" you ask with a chuckle.

"Gonk"

"Thanks".

You continue to sit on the floor with Gonky as you nibble your way through your ration bar.
