The hits on our ship make me even more nauseous than I already was. It began feeling more and more unsteady with every blast it had to take. I do not think i've ever been more nervous in my entire life. I turn to my friend with a worried expression on my face as she bends down and speaks to the R2 unit. She was wearing  all white, including a thick veil over her large buns on either side of her head, courtesy of me. 

"...you're my only hope." She finished.

"Leia-" I started, but interrupted by the sound of blasters coming from the hallway just outside. "Leia, they're entering the ship. You have to hide!"

"So do you! Why do you think you came with us? To avoid this kinda mess!" She replies as the Artoo-unit travels my way. "Aura, you must return to Tatooine right now. Its the safest option for you and you must bring this droid." She says, handing me a blaster and touching my blonde waves as she stares at me.

"Excuse me, Princess, but you better be coming with me on this sudden journey..." I question her. It's too dangerous for her to stay. "You have the plans. If they find them on you, I have a feeling they might ki-"

"I know. Thats why I put the plans in the R2 unit. You have to make sure it gets to Ben Kenobi," She says. That name struck me. I haven't seen that old coot in over five years...Damn. "I'm willing to get captured and held in their ship. My parents need these plans and the help of Obiwan. Please, Aura. I trust you like nobody else. You're like my sister." She finishes with a darling smile. She's been my friend and my family for so long, I can't just say no.

"I'll try my best." I reply with a dreaded sigh.

"I know you'll find the strength to get it all done when you arrive on the planet," She says with a friendly wink. "Plus, I have a feeling Old Ben misses you."

"Whatever. I just can't wait to see if his hair got any whiter." I say, earning a small chuckle to escape from Leia. I enjoy the silence and time we are granted. I stare at her for a moment and hug her. "This better not be a waste of my time, Princess."

"I promise it won't be, Princess.." She replies. She's always joking around with me, saying that I'm a princess, too.  Even though her parents legally adopted me when I was fourteen, I've never felt like a princess...especially not in this situation. Our goodbyes get cut short when we hear footsteps and the eerie sound of Darth Vader's breathing.

"Hurry! Get in the escape pod with the droids!" She whispers and points toward the pill-shaped blue droid and the human-like gold droid. I run in an sit down between the droids. I see Leia glance down the hallway. She rushes away and hides from what I assume are storm troopers. As the droid hits the escape button, I can already sense this trip will be a bumpy one.

Hey! Sorry it's short but I'm just trying to setup whats happening. First things first: Aura and Leia are not BLOOD RELATED. They're adoptive sisters. She is considered an Organa but she didn't grow up as one. If you have any questions, feel free to drop it in the comments! Thanks!
