ENIGMA ↠ Luke Skywalker

"Are you sure this is safe?"

The small amount beeping comes from the Artoo-unit seems to answer Threepio's question.

The trip may seem like it is going by fast, but being crammed in a pod as small as this makes it seem longer than ever. As I adjust my black silky dress, I feel my annoyance toward the two bickering droids grow as their arguing intensifies. I cannot stop them; believe me, I tried. I decide to breathe deeply, close my eyes, and hope that we land on Tatooine very soon.

My relaxation was intensely interrupted by our craft jolting heavily as it hits the atmosphere of the sandy planet. I can only wish that we land somewhere near Ben Kenobi.

Artoo latches his metal arm-like probe to something in our pod, setting off an airbag to bring us down safely.

"Is there anyway you can track Obiwan Kenobi so we don't have to search all of Tatooine?" I question, looking between both the droids. Artoo beeps in reply.

"Sadly, but no, Princess Aura." Threepio replies. I sigh heavily and return to staring out the window as our descent into the planet comes to an end.

The final jolt of the trip results in the three of us in a sand dune. The feeling of the sand flying against my body is a feeling I could have held off for a while. I squint harshly and already begin to sweat as the sun beams down on the land.

"How did we get into this mess? I really don't know how." Artoo complains.

"I'm not really sure either," I sympathize. I lean down and take of my shoes, making it easier to walk down the dunes. After some more walking and more chatter between the droids, we reach our first problem. Artoo begins to whistle and beep, signaling us to go his choice of path. I trust Artoo more than the metal man, so I barely even think before I start traveling with him.

"Where do you think you two are going?" Threepio questions.

"I just need to find Ben," I point to the droid "Artoo needs to find Ben," and I roll my eyes with a sigh, "and he seems to know where to go." I tune out the droids arguing once and for all and watch as the golden man walks away, and Artoo and I start traveling toward the rocky structures.

We traveling for a short time and come along a path between some tall rocky caves and other hills. It was pretty creepy, earning a few whistles and cries from the droid next to me. I stop in my path when I hear some cackling. It sounded very unhuman-like. Chills ran down my spine and the little voice in my head kept repeating run, run, run!

As I start considering my plan, Artoo screams as a lightning bolt shot by some short creature hits and stuns him. My eyes widen and I try to scream, but before any sound can come out, a jolt of electricity runs through my body and I hear the thump of my body hit the dirt. Darkness...

Hello! I know this chapter is boring but its just to get a feel for Tatooine and the casual relationship between R2, C3P0, and Aura. PLEASE comment and vote for my story! It keeps me motivated to continue this. :) I'm excited for Aura to meet Luke and start their adventures together <3 Thank you!!!
