"Kyla, come on!" A young, blonde girl yelled over her shoulder as she sprinted up a hill. She wore her golden locks in two pig tails, seemingly matching her youth. Her red robes billowed our around her, swaying with each step she took, though her cameo jacket seemed to help contain it. She had one hand on her head, holding her pilot goggles in place so that she didn't lose them.
Soon after her call, another blonde girl came running from the other side of a tree, following the younger one up towards the top of the hill. This one, by the name of Kyla, was a few years older and wore her hair in a low, messy bun. She wore a pair of brown trousers, with a white blouse and vest to finish the look.
When Kyla made it to the top of the hill, the other girl was no where to be seen.
"Zoey?" Kyla called out, turning in circles to look for the young girl.
"Zoey, now isn't the time for- Ah!" Kyla yelped, as Zoey jumped on her back from behind a tree. The two girls fell over, giggling. Soon they sat side by side, looking up into the bright blue, cloudless sky.
"One day, I'm going to be a pilot and explore the galaxy!" Zoey said, reaching with both hands towards the sky.
"You and I will be the best team they've ever seen!" Zoey rolled over to face Kyla, with a look of wonder and excitement for the future she had planned for the two of them.
"Zoey," Kyla laughed, "what would we even do?" The girls looked back up towards the two stars that sat in the sky.
"What ever we wanted of course! We could be hero's, like dad! We could help anyone we come across, and the First order would be shaking in their space boots! No one could beat us! You and I are unstoppable!" Zoey spread her arms out wide, but Kyla only rolled away from her.
"Yeah, unstoppable..."

My eyes flew open fast, as I heard a bang coming from outside my room.
I never got a rest flying on this old piece of junk.
"K-5D9 what's going on?" I yelled to my K-5 unit who sat in the cock pit of the space craft. I started walking down the hall, but the ship rumbled and I fell against the wall.
What in the galaxy is going on?
