Book 3 of 3: Our Last Stand (Book 3 of "Family of Rebels")

Chapter 10: Dream Come True

Kanan's POV

Finally! I thought they'd never get here! I watched Ezra and Sabine come back on a speeder, going a hundred miles an hour. When they parked next to us, I saw that Ezra had a stormtrooper suit on, but it looked like it had dents in them. "Where were you guys? What happened at the Imperial base?"

Ezra breathed heavily and said, "We almost didn't make it out. There was this new assassin that tried to kill us. We barely made it out, but I think we lost him."

I sighed in relief. 

But, that didn't last long.

I saw Hera prepping the ship to leave. I didn't want her to leave; I wanted her to stay. Stay with us.

Stay with me.

I walked over to her. "Hera." She turned to me with soft eyes. "A-About what happened earlier..." I moved closer; she did the same. "I... I didn't mean--"

She pulled me in.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And we finally kissed.

I closed my eyes. I had been waiting to do that for years now.

It finally happened.

She pulled out slowly. I was reluctant to let her go, but I unwrapped my arms from around her and let her leave.

Hera got onto the ship and turned to me. "May the Force be with you."

The door closed.

And she left.

Now, I sighed in awe. Everything seemed brighter and happier. Not a cloud in the sky, even though in reality, it looks like it is about to storm. I'm walking on air. I melted in love.

I turned around. Everyone was staring at me. We all started laughing. It lightened the mood of everything. I looked back up at the sky. I smiled. She'll be back for us.

And we will be waiting.

Sarah's POV

I woke up again at the sound of an engine. I sat up. I felt a whole lot better after that. It felt like I was almost back up to full strength. It was also so much easier to see a ship flying off.

I heard everybody laughing. I "saw" Zeb, Sabine, Ezra, Chopper, and Ryder laughing their heads off at Kanan, who was feeling ecstatic. I walked over to Ezra and asked, "What did I miss?"

Ezra seemed to still not be able to keep his cool and continued to laugh. I turned to Kanan, who was now feeling bashful.

Hold on...

Where's Hera?

I pieced two and two together.

"I missed it?!" I said.

Everyone, including Kanan, nodded.

I pouted and laughed with them. I missed the kiss. THE kiss!!!!

Oh, well. Now that they've done it once, I'm sure they'll do it again someday, hopefully when I'm around....

That is probably going to be it for the week. I may post on Saturday, but I'm gonna be busy.
