"Dinner time!" Shyma yelled.

Just about a second later, Leia heard a knock on the door to her deck. She turned to see a young
man with shaggy black hair. He opened the door.

"So," Boba spoke softly, "you wanna have that date now."

"Ofcourse," Leia didn't know Boba knew where she was, "I need to tell Shyma first though."

"Wow," Boba said as he walked into Leia's new room, "your dad overdid himself."

Boba followed Leia downstairs and into the kitchen. Shyma was wearing a long pink dress with
her hair tied back in a bun.

"Hey Shyma," Shyma turned to face Leia, "I was wondering if I could go out to eat with Boba
tonight?"

"Umm, sure."

"Oh," Boba said, "and can I sleep here? I have a sleeping bag."

"Okay, I guess." Shyma wasn't very good at parenting.

"Thank you." Boba and Leia said.

Boba walked Leia to his ship, called Slave I. He pressed a button on the side of it, and the
door swiped up revealing an open room with cages to the right. The ceiling was covered in
white christmas lights and the floor was sparkly clean, which must of took Boba a long time.
Knowing Boba, Leia thought his ship would be messy and covered with trash. He must've fixed
it up for her, Leia thought. Leia was fascinated by the ship. It seemed like an unexplored jungle.

"I know, it has a lot of cages and stuff." Boba said, "It used to be my dad's."

Leia didn't complain. She followed him to the cockpit. Boba sat down in the pilot seat, so Leia
sat in the one next to it. He switched a couple switches in front of him. Leia never flown anything before,
although she wanted to. Boba grabbed on to the wheel ahead of him. He guided Slave I over lakes,
forests, and waterfalls. It slowed down when they came across a city on the shore, called Kaadara.
Boba landed the ship a few meters away from the city. Leia followed Boba out of Slave I and into the city.
Boba grabbed Leia's hand and helped her through the crowded roads. Leia put up her hood when she
realized they were surrounded by bounty hunters, because she was always on their wanted lists.

Meanwhile, back at home, Anakin and Shyma were arguing. They never argue. Luke was getting
scared. He could hear the whole thing while playing video games, in his room, on the floor above them.

"Why would you let her go?" Anakin yelled through his mask, "She could be on the other side of the
galaxy by now!"

"But don't you trust Boba?" Shyma said calmly, "He wouldn't do anything you wouldn't allow."

"Why, because he's scared of me?"

"No, he sees you as a trustworthy king," Shyma started walking towards her bedroom.

"Goodnight," Anakin regretted yelling at her.

On Kaadara, Boba and Leia were sitting on the beach, looking at the millions of stars, above.
Leia grabbed his hand. Boba kissed her forehead. They fell asleep lying in the sand.
