"YOU THINK REX AND MASTER OBI-WAN MADE IT OUT OKAY?" Ahsoka questions Anakin who tinkers with the ship. I do the same but on a different part. "If I know my old master, he has things well in hand. Now help me with this. I want the primary systems fully repaired by the time we reach Tatooine." Ahsoka nods her head and takes something from Anakin's hand.
Darana is watching the Huttlet who sleeps and making sure he is alright. "You grew up on Tatooine, right? So, for you, this trip is like going home." My gaze moves to look at the back of Anakin's head. I recognise this emotion, rage. "Yeah." He calls out and looks out at the space surrounding us.
"Home." I keep my gaze on the back of his head before finishing tinkering with my part of the ship. "I've finished, what else do you need help with, General?" I question and my husband turns his head to look at me, moving away from the window.
"I think we're good for now, thank you, Etta." I give him a nod and a small smile before turning my gaze to look back at the sleeping Huttlet. Darana stared at him before lifting her gaze to look at me. She seems as though she wants to ask me something, but she doesn't.
"I was hoping I'd never have to lay eyes on this dust ball again." Anakin says and I follow his gaze, staring at the planet we approach. "Okay... what happened?" Ahsoka questions and I move away from the Huttlet. "I don't want to talk about it." Anakin says sharply.
"How's Stinky holding up?" He questions and I answer. "He seems to be feeling much better. His fever is gone." I make my way into the co-pilot seat beside Anakin. "Even you have to admit he's cute when he's asleep." Anakin chuckles slightly and glances at me. He's not the only one. I can hear his thought through the force and I glance at him, holding in a smile.
"I admit I do like him better when he's quiet, but only a little." Anakin says and R2 beeps. "No, R2. I want the cannon operational first. Leave the rear deflect shields for later." I stare out at the planet. "No rear shields, Master? That's awful risky." Ahsoka calls out. "A strong attack eliminates the need for defence, Snips." An alarm sounds and I press a button on the control panel.
"Attack ships closing." I call out to Anakin. "Someone doesn't want the Huttlet to get home in one piece!" Darana calls out from her seat. Anakin and I prepare for impact. "Wow! Quite a welcome home party!" Ahsoka says as the ship rocks forward.
I set the approach vector and prepare to land. I go to activate the guns but they don't move. "All guns are locked in the forward position." He didn't ask me to repair the rear deflector shields. "R2, see if you can unlock those guns!" Anakin yells to the droid.
"Ahsoka, Darana, secure the Huttlet!" I say to the girls and my hair ties itself up through the force. "Hang on back there, girls." Anakin says to them as she ship pulls upwards. I stop them rolling around by freezing them with the force.
The baby wails and Ahsoka groans. "Great, you woke the baby!" She says with a hiss. "We're a little busy here." Anakin replies and a ship appears opposite us, blasting at us. I manually blast one whilst Anakin flies. "What about the other one?" Ahsoka asks and I unfreeze her, along with Darana and the baby.
"One thing at a time." Anakin says and a blast from behind makes us fall down slightly. "I think we needed those rear shields after all." I tilt the ship for a better flying angle. "R2, can you turn the guns around." I say to the droid who beeps. The guns flip and R2 fires at the ships.
"Get 'em R2!" Anakin calls out and one of the ships go up in flames. "Good shot, buddy. You've been holding out on me." Our ship is smoking as it makes its way through the atmosphere of the sandy planet. "Girls, strap in." I tell them and they do as I say, clipping into the seats against the walls behind us.
"Obi-Wan, come in. Do you copy?" Anakin presses a button on the com-link, calling out to the master. "Kenobi, here. Anakin, Etta, have you reached Tatooine yet?" I stare down at the holograph of Master Kenobi. "Almost, but we ran into some old-" Anakin gets cut off.
"Anakin, did you get shot down again?" Master Kenobi questions and his eyes move to me. "Etta?" He questions and I nod my head. "Yes, we did. None of us are harmed." I say to the Master. "This ship is too slow. I haven't had time to modify it yet." Anakin retorts with a slight chuckle and a glance at me. My heart pounds faster from the look.
"I'm still cleaning up your other mess, but I'll get there." The holograph disappears. "So much for reinforcements." The flaming ship goes crashing through the atmosphere. "Hang on, this landing is going to be a little rough." I can feel the heat of the flames burning from the ship as we get closer to the ground.
"Crashes are rough. Landings are not." Ahsoka calls out. "Then it's a crash landing." Anakin retorts and I take a glance at him and at the reflection of the girl. They are alike, more than they know. The ship crashes into the sand with a thud, and I'm left with a pounding head.
