Pew Pew: A Collection of Star Wars Shorts

"Angry" + Rose Tico

She shut her eyes.
PaePae, I'm sorry.
But no.
No.
Rose could not let Paige down.
She kicked out, she rolled her limbs, she refused to be held still.
Whenever she felt her strength sapping, she'd focus on the thief who betrayed them.
Sold out their last hope.
For what?
For credits?
They were all worth far more.
No metal could be so valuable.
Soldiers shoved her onto the gleaming floor.
She caught Finn's eye.
She smiled.
One last act of defiance.
Comfort offered at the end.
Then
As if bursting directly out of her hopes
Everything around them exploded.
