Hey guys! First off, I am really really really sorry about the delay. There's been some stuff going down and.. You know what, no more excuses.
Yeah, you read the chapter title right. It's here. The one you've all been waiting for. They're on a mission, and Ezra, Choppef and Kanan have to escape into the Phantom. There's no time for too many words and sorrows - will Sabine tell him how she feels? Before it's too late....Ooh I am getting BETTER at summaries aw yeah! And I hope you like my art. Read on if you want to find more... I guarantee you will like this one, and forgive me for my late comings so please R&R and tell meh what you think!!!
Springing into action without a fully formed plan was no new thing for the Ghost crew. But they'd become larger in number, this rebellion, thanks to Captain Hera and her A Wings, Sabine and the Protectors as well as Sato's people. Now, with stormtroopers led by Agent Kallus aiming straight for them, they had a plan - a risky plan - to get Ezra and Kanan off-world, just like on Garel, and regroup.
Ezra and Sabine were now off the rooftops, Ezra force-jumping through the air and Sabine shooting up with a newly found jet pack, taking a leap onto the back of the wind and touching down in a milky billow of smoke and steam. Ezra drew his lightsaber, and Sabine raised her blasters. The padawan rolled his shoulders, eyeing up the enemy.
"Well, they've outdone themselves this time," he quipped. "Sand troopers, chicken walkers - heck, even AT-ATs!"
"The whole shebang, then," Sabine replied.
"Should be a piece of cake!"
Ezra grimes devilishly at her, and the scene around him.
"Sure, as long as there's no spiders around," he spoke into the comm.
Zeb grunted from the cargo bay, "That was one time, kid. One time!"Sabine's eyes sparked, and she realised she was slightly enjoying herself, even as the imperials were closing in. She decided then that there was no one she'd rather be with right now.
"You got my back?" She asked, and they turned so their backs were together and weapons pointed at the surrounding troops. His reply was not what she'd expected.
"Always."
And then they really did spring into battle. They moved effortlessly as a team, two parts of a whole. Ezra leapt into the foray with his lightsaber, effortlessly knocking down stormtroopers without touching them. Sabine, to his right, shooting and kicking their feet from underneath them as Ezra moved, reaching out to the chicken walkers approaching. "This one's all yours!" She called, and he flashed a small smirk before saying, "How 'bout you do the shooting and I'll do the dirty work?"
She snorted, "Don't you always?" and he tried to do what Kanan did, cutting down the legs, but the walkers began firing away, and he dodged the shots.
"Cover my butt!" He yelled, and her eyebrows flew up before instinct took over and she waved at the walker.
"Over here, bucketheads! Stop hiding and face me like men!"
Bad move, she intoned as it turned on her, started the chase and she fired bolts upon bolts but it kept coming. One shot hit her, she knew, and she could kiss her butt goodbye instead of covering Ezra's (gods, he would tease her about that later).
As if from the sky, Zeb came to the scene, roaring as he promptly jumped onto the walker and reached inside.
"Incoming!" He shouted, and she stunned a trooper who was flung off by the Lasat, who now grinned wolfishly as he commandeered the chicken walker.
"Always wanted to try one of these things! Now go get Ezra!"
She gave him a two fingered salute and sprinted towards Ezra, where he was ducking and dodging and trying not to get shot while Zeb pulled off his distraction, and the other troopers focused on the big guy.He arrived at the Phantom, and Sabine couldn't help feeling she might not see him for another while. And she knew right then and there that she had to tell him how she felt, before it was too late. But something held her back, and she knew it could never happen. She didn't want any more pain.
"Sabine - " he began, but she cut him off, before she could feel worse. "Go."
Ezra turned to face her. She was so close he couldn't stand it. She still smelled of those wonderful Jogan blossoms and spices - and he thought he'd never smell anything that good again for as long as he lived.
"I - you know the drill. I'll be fine. I'm coming back for you."
She nodded. Her eyes were red, but it was hard for Ezra tell in the dark.
"I know that. But you, you need to come back safe. No more sight lost or - or collateral damage. Don't give me any stupid excuses or - or false promises."He butted in, looking more determined than she'd ever seen him.
"How about a real, sincere promise? Because I'm telling you now that I'm coming back. You know why? You know how? Because! Because you are the reason I'll always have someone to hang onto, to come back for. Because I lo-"
And then she did the thing he never expected her to do in a million, billion years. She took hold of his face in her hands and pulled him into a kiss, which completely and utterly rendered him speechless.
He'd never actually kissed anyone before, let alone have anyone kiss him - despite all his flirting and trading, terrible as it was. But now this feisty, artistic Mandalorian with beautiful brown skin and eyes the colour of falling leaves set alight, and whom he thought would never like him back, was kissing!!! him!!!
There were no more things that should have been said, no communication lapses and words that wouldn't come out. For a moment, he didn't know what to do with himself. Then, as if woken from a dream, he took hold of her hands and kissed her back, the feeling that he was flying rising tighter and higher. Electricity pulsed through him, shocking his system and coursing through his veins. For a second, their hearts beat as one. There were no more ifs.They broke apart, and Ezra was stunned. Blown away. Shell shocked. He couldn't actually believe what had just happened, that his wildest dreams had just come true.
"If you die, I'm gonna kill you," she muttered, and he choked out an "uh," before stuttering, "Okay."
His voice came out squeaky, and and a moment passed. Then she wrapped him in a quick hug and pushed him into the Phantom.
"Get going, Bridger - before you make me do something else stupid."
The doors shut, and Chopper started up the Phantom, and they soared up into the horizon.Later
Eza sat in a daze. He couldn't believe it. She... She knew? And she reciprocated his feelings? What? Was? Happening? Today?
He touched his lips. Then something hit him.
"Chopper!?" His voice came out strangled. "Did you.. Did you by any chance.. Show her?"Chopper warbled an 'don't kill me it was for your own good' series of beeps and hoops, and Ezra sat back, exhaling. Well, he thought breathlessly, at least now I have something else to look forward to! If it actually happened, that is. Did it? I really hope so. I'm in the mood for more kisses today.
Well, how about that! Now you've definitely forgiven me. The future of these fics is that some will be pre relationship and going with canon (like Healing Wounds and Smell You Later) for Season 3, and some will be POST relationship, which I am very very excited about!!! So don't be too hasty folks, there's good stuff coming your way! Hope you liked this and PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!
*cue evil laughter* I can't wait for your reactions...
