Princess of Darkness

Chapter 3

A/N: So after asking my friends, which immediately told me too put her in, the star from my first one shot in that book is now here! I changed some of the dialogue in the previous chapters and the description a tad, but nothing major.

Lily Skywalker wiped her hands on the beige dress of Tatooine native girls. It was ugly, but the rebellious Skywalker cut the dress in to a form similar to that of her mother when she visited. Not that she knew anything about her mother. She dyed the bottom of the top a dark brown as well as the bottom of the skirt the same color. Her uncle nearly had a heart attack when she came out of the room she shared with her twin brother, Luke.

The dress now had oil and grease stains from working in her own little mechanic shop in Anchorhead for so long. How she came to own the little shop was quite a weird story.

Lily never liked the traditional way of Tatooinian women. She needed something more than getting married, raising  kids,  and looking after the household. When she told this to her uncle, he told her that if she could find a way to make money for the house, she could do something else than helping Luke fix moisture vaporaters and cook and clean with Aunt Beru.

What he didn't know was that like Luke had been visiting the strange man called Ben Kenobi, she had been visiting a Toydarian from Mos Espa called Watto, who was a junk dealer turned mechanic. Now this Toydarian was very old, and wanted Lily to take over his shop.

So, with the accidental permission of her uncle, Lily soon became known as a fabulous mechanic.

Now fixing things wasn't the only thing she did with her technical abilities. There was a pretty high price on an unnamed person for vandalizing Imperial property. Everyone but the Empire knew it was her, but no one did anything because they all hated the Empire as much as she did.

She did everything from dismantling engines  to making sure the brakes or gas didn't work, causing the steering  to be off so that a few speeders  would crash. She was responsible for most of the crashes there.

She checked the time and sighed. She needed to start going home. Uncle Owen wanted her back soon. Something to do with several broken vaporaters and some jawas that were coming by selling droids.

Locking the shop and climbing into her self-built speeder, she drove off at top speeds. Luke and her would race in speeders and their ships, and she would only win when she took a more dangerous route that Luke didn't dare try to go through.

Ten minutes later, she pulled next to her house, running toward her brother and Luke.

"Take these droids inside. I want them cleaned up before dinner to work on those vaporaters in the morning." Her uncle had apparently already bought his chosen droids. "Lily you can help him."

"Whatever." She shrugged.

"But I was going to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters!" Luke whined.

"You could've asked me to get some before I left." She pointed out.

"I-I didn't think of it then." He muttered. Lily rolled her eyes.

"You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done."

"Alright. Come on." He turns to the red droid. "Well come on Red!" The droid starts following the pair, when suddenly it stops and the top explodes off.

"Uncle Owen! This droid has a bad motivator, look!" He turned to the jawas and started arguing with them.

"Pardon me sir and miss, but that R2 unit is in prime condition. A real bargain."
