ENIGMA ↠ Luke Skywalker

1.04

"I'm Luke Skywalker, by the way," the boy says to me. I smile and reply,

"My name's Aura. Pleasure to meet you." He turns his head and looks into my eyes. My heart thumps an extra beat when he does that. Gross.
We walk into his house and past his Aunt, I assume.

"Aunt Beru, this is Aura. We purchased her because we think she was captured by the Jawas." Luke said, introducing us. Beru wipes dirt off my cheeks and smiles.

"You think she was captured? Why don't you just ask her?" She slyly says to Luke. I laugh at her remark.

"Don't worry. His assumption was correct." I smile reassuringly at the two.

"We'll talk more over supper!" She says, turning back to her duties.

Luke moves from her side and pushes me lightly in the small of my back towards a garage. I felt embarrassed when I got chills after he touched me. What the hell is wrong with me and this kid?!

The droids are already in the dark, cemented area that has tons of beeping and computing noises all around. Pretty high tech for the middle of nowhere. Luke sits down for a moment as I look around at all the wires and other gadgets on the walls. In the corner of my eye, I see him moving something mid-air. I inch my head to fully see a model spaceship toy in his hand, and him playing with it. I giggle at the sight.

"Farm boy wants to be a Pilot?" I question, smiling. His face goes red and he places it next to his seat.

"I am a pilot...occasionally." He says, shooting up from his seat and walking toward a tool box on a ledge. Threepio starts rambling to Luke, which gets him to start whining about something to all three of us. "It's just not fair. Biggs is right, I'm never gonna get outta here!" He shouts. He walks toward R2 and examines him.

"You want to leave?" I ask.

"Of course I do! I like my friends and all, but I've been stuck here too long. I need to get off this rock." He replies, going back to the toolbox. Luke and Threepio go on some more about themselves, and he eventually introduces himself. While they're communicating, all I can think about is how we're supposed to casually leave and find Obiwan. My thoughts are interrupted by the sight of Luke picking away at the carbon scratching on Artoo.

"Looks like you boys have seen a lot of action," he looks up and glances at me, noticing my stare. He raises and brow but I shake my head brushing it off and looking the other way. If he pushes the wrong button, the video transmission of Leia for Ben will show, and the mission will be a fail. I hear Threepio start mentioning the rebellion, and I cannot help but face palm myself. Shut. the. hell. up. Threepio.

"You know of the Rebellion against the Empire?!" Luke asks, moving away from Artoo. Before Threepio can reply, I stand up and say,

"-No. He only knows because I've mentioned a few things about it. I-I have some friends who know stuff about it...a-and I told these two because they asked about the Rebels and I-"

"Okay, I get it. You don't know anything. Calm down." Luke says, turning back to Artoo, giving me a chance to wipe the sweat off my forehead and glare at Threepio all in one motion. Luke starts jamming his tool into Artoo and attempting to pry something out. "Well, my little friend, you got something jammed in here real good." I stand up and take a step closer to Luke.

"Luke, stop."

"Shh, I know what I'm doing."

"Luke, STOP!" I take another step closer.

"Why?!"

"Because I don't think that's a good idea-," but before my sentence is completed, a stream of light escapes Artoo's video transmitter, displaying a message from my best friend. I fall on Luke when trying to leap on him to stop his droid nonsense, but it was too late. I look down at him and frown as I hear Leia's voice ring around the room. I lean my face close to his and whisper yell, "Here's an idea, let's listen to me from now on because its obvious that I know best." I sit up quickly and push myself off of him to discontinue our awkward conversation. I try my best to forget about it by watching my sister's call for help part of the video repeat over and over. I remember her making it like it was yesterday...oh wait, it was yesterday.
