A/N PLEASE COMMENT AND VOTE! PREFERABLY COMMENT BUT THEN AGAIN I MIGHT JUST BE WEIRD AND PICKY. I WANT TO READ OPINIONS!!!!!! but I still love my readers who are sticking with me.

The odd group, consisting of a mechanic, a farmboy, a smuggler, and a Wookie, made their way to the elevator to take them to the Detention Center.

"Can't see a thing in this helmet." The two Skywalkers muttered. Solo looked at them with a weird look. Do twins normally act this... in sync? ARE they twins?  They might just be the same person in two different bodies... Nah, they're definitely twins

They were shortly joined by another, who, (thankfully), didn't ask any questions. The elevator slowly descended to the lower levels of the station. They then tried their best to blend in, though Luke and Lily were a head shorter than everyone else, and their marching was out of rhythm. Lily wasn't sure if the Imperials were unobservant, or just stupid at this point. The quartet walked down the mostly empty before coming to the door to the Detention Block.

"Where are you taking this... thing?" The officer asked.

"Prisoner transfer from cell block 1138." Luke stated, being almost convincing.

"I wasn't notified. I'll have it cleared." He said, obviously slightly suspicious. Lily slipped Chewie a spare blaster, who threw off his binds.

"Look out he's loose!" Solo said with mock fright.

"He'll tear us apart!" Lily deadpanned.

Luke stared at his sister. He knew she was a better actress than this, how many times did she have a wild but believable story to cover up her cuts and bruises from fights, or anything else. He rediverted his attention to shooting the cameras and guards. Soon, the room was clear and they took off their helmets.

"Right, let's find out which cell this princess of your's is in." He walked over to the control panel and hit a few buttons. "Here it is, 2187. You go get her." The panel was beeping. "Uhh, everything under control here, situation normal." Lily face palmed.

"What happened?" The officer through the mic said.

"Uhh small weapons malfunction but we're all good here now, we're all fine. How are you?" Lily was about to go smack Solo in the face but decided that his immediate cringe and regret was enough.

"We're  sending a squad up."

"Negative negative we've got a large leak, very dangerous. Give us a few minutes to lock it down." This was getting worse. Were they anywhere near the reactor. By the officer's reaction, Lily guessed not.

"Who is this, what's your operating number?"

Solo hesitated before shooting the mic. "Luke! We're gonna have company!"

"Only cause some idiot blasted the controls." Lily muttered.

"I heard that, Skywalker!"

"Good!"

"Shut up and get ready to shoot!"

Lily rolled her eyes but got out her blaster.

"Wait, when, why did you ditch the armor?"

"Took it off while you were being stupid to an officer, which is why we're in this mess, and our cover is kinda blown anyway, plus it's super uncomfortable."

"It means unless you miraculously have time to put it back on, you aren't going to be able to use it."

"Our cover is blown anyway, Solo." In that moment, stormteoopers blew the door down and started shooting. They fired back, slowly moving away to meet up with Luke and the princess.

"No way to get out there." Solo announced.

"Really? I couldn't tell." Lily said sarcastically.

"Looks like you cut off our only escape route." The princess said.

"Maybe you'd like it back in your cell, your highness."

"You had a plan for getting in and not out?"

"They're the brains, princess!" Han shouted the same time Lily muttered, "We had a plan?"

"Oh, shut up Skywalker!" Solo shouted. Lily didn't respond. She was trying to remember the little she knew about Imperial space stations. In the mean time, Ava had enough of the bickering, took Luke's gun, and shot a hole in the trash compactor. "What are you doing?" Solo exclaimed.

"Saving our skins." Ava told him. "Down the garbage chute, flyboy."

"I like her." Lily muttered. "You heard her, boys." She told them before following her.

Meanwhile, Leia was watching the security tapes with increasing interest. She hadn't missed when the older man called the girl Skywalker, and no one could could have missed the similarities between the girl and younger man, in a sibling way. Of course, the younger man she could correctly say was a Skywalker as well, only needed to look at the cameras from a few minutes before. She supposed they were twins, and undoubtedly Force sensitive, though barely trained. Her father was searching for Kenobi, so perhaps she could ask him about them when he got back-

No.

This was going to be her project, and only hers. She would look into what Skywalkers existed, what relation they had to her, birth records, anything to tell her who they were. She watched as they made it to their ship with the tracking beacon but stopped.

On another screen, at a different angle, Leia could see her father and Kenobi with ignited sabers, merely circling each other before striking.
***

The quintet made their way to the ship, but Luke and Lily paused, seeing Vader and Ben in a duel. Ben made eye contact with them, before smirking just barely, and raising his blade straight up in a meditative way. Vader didn't hesitate to strike, but Ben just evaporated into nothingness, only his old robes left behind.

"NO!" Luke and Lily shouted, drawing the attention of the nearby stormtroopers. They began to shoot blindly, Lily coming to her senses after getting grazed by a bolt on her arm. They both heard Ben's voice in their ear, Run, you two. They did so, and soon, they were blasting off into the stars.
***

"You're sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship? I'm taking an awful risk. This'd better work." Tarkin told them skeptically.

Just after takeoff, Lily approached the princess.

"Hi. I never got to properly introduce myself. Lily Skywalker, that idiot's twin sister." Lily pointed out Luke.

"Nice to meet you, Lily. I guess you know who I am." The two girls smiled at each other.

"That was one crazy day." Lily said.

"Couldn't agree more." They burst into laughter again. Lily walked over to Luke, rubbing his back in comfort.

"Can't believe he's gone." Luke whispered to her.

"There's nothing we could've done." Lily had to be told that often, but it was time the advice was repeated back to her brother.

"Come on, we're not out of this yet." Solo told them as something began beeping, announcing the arrival of TIE fighters.

"Well, hope everyone's ready for round two." Lily said sarcastically.
