VII I'm No Jedi
The last week had been spent flitting between the resistance and the first order aka my mother and my brother. And just floating about in space- I hadn't been back to Corellia since I completed my last job, needless to say I kind of missed it. Then why can't I just go back?Something was stopping me returning, and before you say something about the mysterious, all-powerful Force or the one controlling it, it wasn't that. I want to let go of that old life, the monotonous, boring one which was the same everyday, now I had a new life. Sure, it wasn't exactly super exciting, but it varied from day to day and it was filled with little moments that just made it interesting.
The walky-talky-comms-thing beeped.
"Hey," Ben thought it was funny to use it and ask me random questions at random points in the day. "Remind me why you gave me this thing again?"
"Because I missed you and I want to make sure that your not going to leave again."
"Hm, well I'm not. You can chill out, you've gone back into over-protective brother mode."
"And your still in stupidly reckless younger sister mode."
I scoffed, "Younger sister! By 2 minutes 43 seconds."
"Our birthdays are on different days."
"Yeah, because you were born before midnight and I was born after."
"I'm still older."
"Who cares!"
He was quiet for minute. "What are you doing?"
"Flying to the resistance base, why?"
"I'm bored."
"Don't you have plans to make and the downfall of the resistance to plot?"
"Yeah...I guess"
"Well go make them otherwise General Nuts is going to take your job."
"I'll kill him before he does,"
"Okay, I get it. You guys don't like each other," the smaller details of Crait came into view, "I have to go now. Get plotting!"
Poe ran out to greet me as I landed, "You didn't tell us you were coming,"
"What can I say? I like to retain an element of mystery,"
"Ha ha very funny, but one day it's going to get you killed."
"Taking risks is what makes life interesting. If you don't take in risks, what will you achieve?"
"Wise words,"
I stepped into the maintenance 'department', Rose was working on an old engine.
"A speeder bike engine? Cool."
"Only problem is the fan belt is rotten and I can get to it without disrupting the magnetic field-"
"And if you disrupt it it'll blow up. Yeah, nasty,"
"But I think I may have found a way in through the compresser if I can just... can you pass me that wrench?"
Handing it over I watched her work for a minute.
"You know if you-"
"What is this?" Rey burst into the room, a lightsaber outstretched.
"Where did you get that?" I paled in shock.
"WHAT IS IT?"
"What were you doing on my ship?"
"Tell me what this is,"
