He looks at me wide eyed. "Jyn! And Cassian! It's you guys, right! Why are you here? What happened to the plans? Did you get captured, too? Is that why you're in Stormtrooper gear? Because you're escaping?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up. What's going on? Who are these two?" The other 'Stromtrooper' takes off his helmet, revealing a scruffy looking guy with a no-good aura around him. 

"We're here to rescue the princess. What are you doing here?" Cass fires back.

I try to speak up, but I can't get a word in with this- this scoundrel 's retorts. "Oh, I'm sorry for getting in your way. Hey, wait. We're here for the Princess, too!"

Cass falls silent. Luke is silent. The Wookie can't talk for fear of being discovered. My turn. "Luke, we're here from the Rebellion. You should leave and save your skins. But- Hey! Where's Obi-Wan?"

"Gone to shut down the tractor beam," says the other guy.

I turn to him. "Who are you?"

"Han Solo, Captain of the Millenium Falcon. And you are?"

"Jyn Erso. Criminal. Rebel. Co-Stealer of the plans for this battle station we're standing on right now, with Cass here, and... a droid."

"Show off," Cass teases, poking me.

"You know it's true," I joke back.

Han looks at us back and forth.  Oh, no. I feel a twinge of heat rise in my cheeks. He thinks-.

"You two- ah, got something going on?"

"Me and-, ah, no!" Cass laughs, a little uneasily.

"Nope, just friends," I add.

"And fighter buddies!" Cass protests.

I laugh, genuinely. "And fighter buddies."

But Han won't let this go. He smirks at us.

"You'll be married before the end of the War, mark my words."

R5 wheels back to us, beeping. Apparently, the princess is in Detention Block AA-23, in Cell 2187. I relay this to the others.

"Right. Okay, I have an idea. He somehow found a pair of shackles. "If you could just-." He tries to put them on the Wookie.

How dumb.

The Wookie- who's name I learned is Chewbacca, protests. And I don't mean that lightly. The Wookie tries to jerk his hands away from Luke, then roars. Really loudly. 

"By Jabba! Han, make that thing shut up and put those shackles on. I think I know what Luke's plan is, and I think it's a good one." I am so tired of this!

Can we hurry up and get to saving the princess already?

  /./././././././././././././././././././././././././././  

We march the hallways, four of us pretending to guard Chewbacca, who's pretending to be a prisoner. We head into the elevator, all five of us. "Remember," I hiss. "The plan. Stick to the plan."

"Yes ma'am."

By the great space gods, this man is annoying!

I sigh a frustrated sigh as we walk out of the elevator, in Detention Block Twenty-Three. Some Imperials manning a control panel of sorts look up at us. "Hey, that's-." Han pulls out his blaster and shoots them all before he finishes his sentence.

You have to give it to the man. He has a very fast draw.

"Why did you do that?" I half-yell at him.

"To shut them up and stop them asking questions!" he half-yells back.

"That's why the Wookie is in chains!" Cass is a stickler for plans, too.

"This was faster!"

"You're impossible." I sigh and stalk down to the princess's cell, and jam my thumb on the button.

The cell door hisses open.

There she is, in all her white-dressed glory,the princess, Leia Organa herself.

Luke, being the hero that he is, charges into the cell as she its up. "You're a little short for a stormtrooper," she quips.

"Stormtrooper? No, I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you!" he says. taking off the helmet.

"Who are the other people with you?"

Han steps up and says like the old rascal he is: "Name's Han Solo, Princess, and let it be known that I didn't volunteer for this!"

"Your statement is noted!"I say, angrily. Shaking, my bead, I turn to the princess and remove my helmet. "I'm Jyn Erso."

"Oh, I remember you! You're that criminal we hired because your father-. Anyway,you survived Scarif then? What about-." She's cut off by an angry Cassian Andor storming into the cell.

"Solo, killing the guards made it so no one could contact this cell block. There are Imperials coming-." he sees Leia. 

"Captain Andor! How lovely to see a familiar face!" she smiles.
