Sabine:

Rex, Zeb, Hera, and I were all sitting on the Ghost just waiting.

"You think there on their way back yet?" Zeb ask.

"I hope so. I can't wait to see Ahsoka and the Kid again." Rex says.

"What about Kanan?" Zeb ask.

"Him too, but I don't think we'll ever be close. I don't blame him for not trusting me." Rex replies.

"Hera? Can I talk to you in private?" I ask.

"Now what can possibly be so important you can't talk about it in front of me?" Zeb ask.

"Well I'm sure we can talk about girl things like boys, nails, makeup, and other girl things like that in front of you and Rex, Zeb." Hera says. "Sure we can talk in the cockpit, Sabine."

The boys look at each other. Hera and I get up and walk into the other room. Hera locks the door behind us.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Hera ask.

"What did Kanan tell you before they left?" I ask.

"He promised me that we'd see each other again." She replied.

"Does that include Ezra too?"

"I hope. Why?"

"I talked to Ezra shortly after Ahsoka got back."

"What he say?"

"Nothing really. He had to leave before we finished talking."

"I'm sure you can talk to him once there back."

"If they come back."

"They will come back Sabine."

"I just have this feeling like something happened. Like even if they do it's not going to be the same."

"What makes you think that?"

"Not sure. Hera, when did you realize that you and Kanan were more than friends and crew mates?"

"I don't really remember. We spend so much time together. We became friends immediately. I guess it just evolved from there. He had a crush on me. Eventually I fell in love with him. I'm not sure when though." Hera replied. "Why?"

"Was it like how Ezra flirts with me?" I ask.

"If Ezra was drunk and constantly getting into fights maybe. After he joined me it was less frequently."

"So by the time you met Zeb?"

"We were going out by then. Zaluna said we were like a mom and dad. She was the grandma. She called Chopper my pet. Kanan and I joke about it all the time. That's why we call the three of you the Kids." Hera says.

"So others saw it before you did?"

"Zaluna did. Ahsoka thinks there's something between you and Ezra. Is that what this is about?"

"Kind of. Was there ever a mission that you knew that Kanan wasn't going to be the same when he came back from it?"

"Not really. There was a series of missions I knew that once they were over he wasn't going to be the same Kanan I had come to know."

"Did he change?"

"What do you think. Since we met Ezra has Kanan changed?"

"I guess. Wait that's when you felt like that?"

"Yes. Kanan was so reckless and carefree when I met him. I watched him change into a man who really cares about others. I knew he was a Jedi. Most of the time he didn't seem like one. Once Ezra came along that changed. Kanan was a Jedi again. The Jedi I knew he was. The Jedi that saved you and Zeb. The Jedi that saved me. That's when he became himself."
