"Rey, who?" Obi-Wan asked quizzically.

"I don't have a surname, Just Rey." She replied, seemingly used to reciting that one.

"Oh," Obi-Wan frowned. "I'm sorry." Rey smiled sadly and said, "Its fine. And who might you be?"

"I am Obi-Wan Kenobi."

Rey eyes widened as if she had been slapped. "Obi-Wan Kenobi?" She exclaimed. "You mean the Obi-Wan?"

"Yes, I mean, unless there's more than one." He replied with a shrug. I smirked at this. As the two most well know Jedi in the galaxy, we often revived this kind of feedback.

Rey began to pace back and forth while muttering things like, "No, no, that's not possible... how can this be happening?"

"How can what be happening?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.

Fwshwee!

In an instant, I managed to ignite my lightsaber just a man with blonde hair and blue eyes jumped from the rocks behind us. In his hand was a brilliant emerald green blade with a hilt quite similar to Obi-Wan's. Following his lead was another woman who upon closer inspection, looked creepily like Padmé.

Lastly, they were tailed by another in a scrappy tunic and trousers. "Whatever you're thinking kid," he mumbled. "Make sure it doesn't almost get us killed like the last time."

"Shut up, Han!" The woman snapped. "Han" just rolled his eyes. I glared at them, glancing from one to another. Lightsaber boy, stared warily at me, while the other two pointed their weapons at Rey and Obi-Wan.

I was about to attempt a threatening intro, aiming to scare them off, when of course Obi-Wan had to step in.

"We mean no harm, we are just as confused as you are. If we could possibly come to a temporary arrangement, perhaps we can work together to find a way off this planet."

The blonde kid shared a look with his companions, before nodding and retracting his lightsaber. "Yeah," he replied. "We were trying to find a way off as well."

"Oh wonderful," I snorted, rolling my eyes. "Looks like we can all have a magnificent time working it out together."

Obi-Wan gave me an annoyed glare and shook his head at my antics. I chuckled. "As I was saying," continued Obi-Wan, "We must have all been sent here for a reason. If we all arrived here the same way, someone probably did it for a purpose."

The sound of a ship ricocheted overhead, and we all spun around to find a speeder skidding across the sky. Drawing our respective weapons, our unlikely group of six scanned for any possible foes.

Blondey twirled his blade. "Well, it looks like we're about to find out."

"Let's just hope it's not the Empire." Han stated.

Before I could ask what Empire he was talking about, the Force screamed a warning, and I whirled around to spot 6 figures with blasters and dangerously red lightsabers ominously stalking to our position.

"It appears we have company," quipped Obi-Wan as our group turned to face the oncoming force. "Looks like we're going to have to have a skirmish with some more Sith scum," I spat. Rey sighed. "It's looks as though we don't have much of a choice."
