      Greez was outside trying to fix the damage done to the ship as quick as he could. Aurora and Cal were sitting on the sofa having a quiet conversation, making sure nobody else could hear them. BD was situated on Ara's lap.

Meanwhile, Cere was looking at the hologram map, constantly glancing at the two. They didn't seem to notice the glances she kept sending their way. They were too occupied by each other. Cere grumbled and quickly turned her attention back to the hologram.

Cere felt like this mission would be compromised by the attachment Ara and Cal had towards each other.

Cal and Ara were barely apart since Cal arrived. Before, when it was only the three of them, Ara kept to herself. She also liked to keep distance, didn't want to talk about her past.

Cere had trust issues and she was honest with herself about that. She shook her head slightly, she never thought she would ever be concerned about those two when Cal first joined them.

There was so much on the line here and she was willing to risk everything for this to become successful, she thought that Ara had the same thought process. Along with Cal since he is the only hope left in Cere's eyes ...but now, Cere had doubts. She felt like if things came down to it, no matter how far along they came or how close they would be. Cere knew Cal would choose to save Aurora and that bothered Cere...a lot.

      "I'm fine though." Aurora mumbled and Cal sighed. "I know. Just want you to be careful." Cal replied and Aurora just nodded, not wanting to argue. She knew Cal cared about her safety and that is what she decided to focus on. Cal pulled Aurora a little closer to him causing BD to beep and move next to them on the sofa.

      Cere sighed and turned to quickly walk outside to talk to Greez. Interrogate him on how quick he can fix the ship. Aurora's eyes followed Cere's figure.

       Cal pulled Aurora into a hug, which made her focus on him. She was quick to hug back and wrapped her arms around him. She sighed in content. "Our journey so far has been really interesting." She mumbled, which caused Cal to smile. "Yeah it has been." He replied.

Yelling could be heard outside and Aurora pulled away from Cal to look outside. "It shouldn't take long!!" Greez's voice could be heard, followed by a small thud.

"Okay, now I have no idea how long this is gonna take." Greez grumbled and Cere groaned. "Well I'm not leaving you until it's fixed." Cere said.

Aurora moved to stand but Cal grabbed her wrist so she couldn't walk away from him. Aurora turned to look at him and didn't hesitate to grab his hand, tugging him up.

They walked outside and only took a couple steps onto the walkway. Greez was currently coughing as he walked away from the smoke surrounding him. He huffed in annoyance. "You okay Greez?" Aurora asked softly, Greez looked defeated but nodded. "Yeah princess, I'm fine."

"We are going to have to go back to the market." Cere stated and Greez rolled his eyes. Aurora let go of Cal's hand and walked towards Greez and Cere. "Why don't you give me a list and I can go into town." Aurora suggested as she sat down on one of the boxes. "Are you sure about that?" Greez asked her.

"Yeah, you've gone every time. Besides you guys clearly need a break." Aurora said and Greez nodded. "Okay." He said as he went inside to make a list. "Well I'm going to go with you." Cal said and Aurora smiled slightly but Cere shook her head. "No, we need to have a talk." Cere stated to Cal and Aurora frowned slightly.

"We are not having this conversation right now." Cal stated and took a couple steps forward to Aurora but Cere quickly stood in his way. "We should have this conversation right now. Besides Aurora can handle herself and we both know that, since she was able to take you down." Cere stated and Cal's eyes glanced over at Aurora.
