By the name of this chapter, you may or may not be able to guess what's going to go down today. But don't fear! Derp is here! To completely mess up everything (Or make it amazing (it really depends on what I'm listening to. The sadder the song, the sadder the chapter))!

Also, I have pretty much written the next four chapters... maybe I'll start posting more often.

I don't own anything.
========================================
Grand Moff Tarkin leaves the Raider to transfer over to the Grand Admiral' Thrawn's ship, the Chimera. You're actually very happy about this. Finally! Tarkin is gone! The ship command falls to the highest admiral onboard, Admiral Priar, who still can be a bastard at times but at least he's not Tarkin.

Since the maintenance on the Raider is taking so long (for some reason) everyone gets a good half day of leave time. You're on duty for the morning half, which is the better time anyway. You're more alert in the morning than in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, you and your other two roommates Collin Dayner and Rina Ceeds go out shopping (Felici, Merrit, and your other roommate Daeny Klives had afternoon duty). It's been a long time since you have been off the Raider. You and your roommates estimate it's been about four years; since the time you celebrated after a successful orientation and first Day as an official Imperial private. So when you, Collin and, Rina are released from duty, the three of you act almost like children in a candy store. At the same time you are forced to keep your composure because you're still wearing your imperial uniform.

You, Collin, and Rina decide to go shopping. Normally you all hate shopping but who knows? It might be better this time. And it was. It was worth cent you spend on food and supplies you buy. The three of you stock up on the ingredients needed to make cookie dough without the egg. You also buy quite a bit of chocolate and other sweets. Other officers might think you were crazy, but, hey, it never hurts to pretend to turn back time back to your teenage years now and then.

With all the excitement and adventure, you forget about your failed apprenticeship with Krennic. And it feels good to spend time away from those thoughts. However, as you were heading back towards the Raider with your gold mine of food tucked in bags hanging from your arms, you see Krennic. He's staring at you, an angry expression on his face. In your attempt to pretend you don't notice him, you lock eyes with him for a split second. Then you averted your eyes away. For some reason, you feel slightly angry at him. You're not ready to pretend you forgave him already for yelling at you.

You, Collin, and Rina put the groceries away in your hotel room, which all the officers were staying in for the night (the stormtroopers got to sleep outside or in parts of the ship that were fixed). "We should go for a nighttime walk once Felici, Merrit, and Daeny get back," you suggest.

"Maybe," said Collin. "We'll see what the other three-" He stops talking when the three of you hear knuckles rapping against the door.

Frowning, you, Rina and Collin pass glances around at each other. The two then stare at you and you realize you're stuck with greeting the visitor/intruder. You stand up and open the door. You're frozen solid when you see Director Krennic at the doorway. You're not sure what to say. Thankfully, he does. "Private (L/Name), I'd like to have a word with you right now. Alone."

You're too shocked to move until you hear Rina clear her throat. You look back at your roommates. Rina mouths the words 'I thought you said he didn't want to see you again?' You raise your eyebrows to signal 'I dunno!'
