Kanan and Ezra were away for a couple days doing another Jedi test. So that meant, Kanan and Ezra wouldn't be involved in any of the crew's shenanigans. Hera and Sabine were in the cockpit when a small siren went off.

"What is it?" Sabine asked, looking for the button that was blinking.
"Something went wrong after The Phantom disconnected," Hera replied, then pointed towards a monitor. "Look, something must've gotten torn off."
"Let's send Zeb and Chopper out to fix it," Sabine suggested.

Zeb heard the conversation from outside and he began to run towards the ramp to escape. He was really hoping that he wouldn't have to do anything this weekend. Especially with Chopper. Zeb and Chopper's relationship recently had increased in tension...a lot. Zeb was about to make it, but a Mandalorian was standing in his way.

"Where do you think you're going?" Sabine asked.
"Uh...outside?" Zeb replied.
"Oh, we don't think so...," Hera said from behind, with Chopper by her side. "You and Chopper are going to fix The Phantom before Kanan and Ezra get back! Got it?"
"Yes...," Zeb sighed.

Chopper made a bunch of noises and then ran off to the roof of The Ghost. Zeb trailed behind.

"He's not betting on my droid again...," Hera muttered.
"Yea, and I'm not going to be happy if we run into that guy again..., Sabine agreed.

"Ugh! Why do we even trust you two?" Hera shouted as Sabine and she stared at the mess on the ship.
"Oh my...," Sabine trailed off. "What happened here?"
"Uh...technical difficulties," Zeb weakly laughed.
"Tell us what happened," Hera ordered.
"Okay, so this is what happened...," Zeb started.

****

Zeb walked onto the roof of The Ghost and saw Chopper. He watched Chopper reconnect wires.

"Uh...Chopper isn't that wire supposed be connected to that wire?" Zeb questioned.

Chopper made some noises and then shocked Zeb for questioning him. Zeb lost his temper and began to attack Chopper. They'd both failed to notice that they were wrecking the ship.

"The next time we have you two work on anything, we're going to need to supervise you both!" Sabine said.
"No kidding!" Hera agreed.
"Specter one to Ghost, Specter six and I are coming into land," Kanan announced over his comm.
"Oh no!" Hera gasped.
"Hurry, up! Do something!" Sabine shouted.

Zeb and Chopper sprung up and began to connect wires. Hera and Sabine jumped down and threw up scraps of metal that fell from The Ghost from when Kanan and Ezra left.

****

A few minutes away from The Ghost, Ezra and Kanan were about to reconnect to The Ghost. Ezra could barely see the ship. Correction. Couldn't see the ship. Kanan was preparing the ship to reconnect. He was pressing buttons as The Phantom's wings closed.

"Hm...I don't think we should land," Ezra said.
"Why?" Kanan asked as he turned his head.
"Because of that!" Ezra yelled.

Kanan turned back and saw Zeb, Chopper, Hera, and Sabine trying to make last minute modifications.

"Ah!" Ezra and Kanan shouted in terror.

Kanan swerved to the right and nearly crashed, landing on Lothal. Kanan and Ezra were both breathing heavily staring out from The Phantom. Kanan lowered the ramp and they walked out, still shocked. The rest of the crew embraced them in hugs.

"What was going on here? We told you we were landing!" Kanan shouted.
"Ask Zeb and Chopper," Sabine said.

****

After a long story-telling session, Kanan and Ezra sat in the kitchen. They were utterly exhausted.

"I'm going to take a nap," Ezra said.
"Wait," Kanan interjected.
"What?" Ezra inquired.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but right now, you're my favorite," Kanan replied.

Ezra thought for a moment.

"It feels nice," Ezra nodded and smiled.
"Don't get used to it...," Kanan sighed.
