Tale of the Forgotten Dancer

A/N: So does anyone know Sienn, the purple twi'lek in the tale of Jabba's Palace, Oola's story? Well if you do, good, if not, here's a little rundown of who she is: She is a Twi'lek who is seen with Oola before Oola is taken captive. She is rescued by Luke Skywalker. She then joins the Rebel Alliance. This is my interpretation of her remaining story.

Arbra is a planet for those who don't know, but I may have changed what it is really like, but you can forgive me for that right. Let me know how I did please.

Chapter 1: Return to Tatooine

The sounds of blaster pistols exploding resonated throughout the training grounds of the Rebel Base on the planet of Arbra. Sienn took a shuffle step to the side to avoid a blaster bolt from crashing into her arm. She grabbed her blaster and shot a few bolts in the direction of her training partner.

Her partner was a human male, about the age of Luke. His name was Faji Bog, an odd name for a human. He wore the average orange jumpsuit of a rebel soldier, just like Sienn herself. He had short, tangled brown hair that just barely touched his shoulders. He had a dark tan that made him look almost like he was living on Tatooine all his life. She knew that he grew up on Polis Massa and joined the alliance when Senator Bail Organa had asked him to. He was well built as if he had worked out every day for several years. He had finely tuned facial features and a small patch of hair on his chin. Sienn found him quite attractive though she preferred men of her own race.

He dodged the bolts just as she had, but he tripped on his feet as he took the step. Sienn smirked and fired two of her blaster bolts into his legs, sending immense pain throbbing through his body. She approached his body which was curled up into the fetal position as he gripped his legs trying to ease the intense pain. Sienn extended her hands and offered to lift him up. He slowly reached his trembling hand out and gripped her tightly. Sienn slowly helped him to his feet. Sienn watched as he trembled while on his feet. She grabbed his arms in an attempt to help him steady himself. Despite this help he still collapsed. This time he rose on his own, though very weakly.

"You okay?" Sienn asked him genuinely sincere.

"I'll be okay," he replied back with a very small hint of laughter in his voice. Sienn laughed as he limped forward towards the medical droid.

Sienn followed him there and after he was all healed up both of them proceeded to the makeshift cafeteria. The cafeteria was made of the finest metal the Republic could afford. Despite the nice metal, it was small and far too crowded. Most of the soldiers chose to eat outside in the nice Arbra sunshine, including Sienn. The cafeteria was decorated nice though. They had great tapestries that hung on the curved walls. They formed a timeline of the great Republic Era, from the beginning to the fall of the Jedi and rise of Emperor Palpatine. The tapestries were hand woven by Bail Organa and Mon Mothma themselves. The beauty of the cafeteria, unfortunately, was far greater than the taste of the food. Most of their meals consisted of nutritional meals served by the Bith cooks. The food tasted like the Arbra dirt, which was definitely not very tasty.

Sienn followed Fiji to a place they picked out to eat with their two other friends. It was a nice grassy area out behind the cafeteria. It was surrounded by a ring of yellow and purple flowers and in the center of the garden like area was a statue of Luke, the Rebels greatest hero.

Sienn looked up to Luke as a hero, not only to the New Republic, but also as a personal hero. He had saved her from what she imagined was a terrible fate. She had very realistic dreams almost every night, dreams about her friend Oola, who refused to go with Sienn. She could only imagine how horrible Oola must be in Jabba's lair. She dreamed that Jabba tortured her, he gave her no food and dressed her in horrible clothing and embarrassed her in front of all his goons. She shuddered at the horrific thoughts every time she awoke.

Seno, a Zeltron female, and Chet, a Cerean male, strode over to the spot where Sienn and Fiji sat. Seno was a red-skinned Zeltron whose hair was a jet black, the normal appearance for Zeltrons. She was only 23, an age Sienn wished she could still be, but instead Sienn was 29. Seno was in excellent physical shape, just like most Zeltrons. That is what made her such a great fight and because of that she was Chet's partner. Chet had the appearance of a typical Cerean. He had an elongated head and was bald at the peak of it. He had a brown mustache that just was barely noticeable, but he often told his friends that he wanted to grow it out. He was the same age a Fiji, 25, a very good age to be a soldier. Just like the rest of his friends he was slender and well built.

"Hey baby," Seno said as she ruffled Fiji's hair.

"Hey honey," Fiji responded stretching his arms out for a hug. Zeltrons were known for their attractiveness. Seno was no exception. She had a beautiful body and nice features. Fiji and Seno had been dating since before Sienn even arrived at the Arbra camp.

"So how did training go?" Sienn asked the Zeltron.

"Ah, it was okay," she said, "what about you two?"

"I won," Sienn said, and then after a few seconds said, "again."

"Hey! By my count I'm only behind by five, I can still catch up," Fiji shouted towards Sienn.

"Doubt it," Chet laughed. All of the friends burst into laughter.

Sienn laughed with her friends for a few seconds and then went back to eating her "scrumptious" food. It tasted decent compared to the usual food, but still not even as good as the food she ate on Ryloth, which was as dry as the sand on Tatooine. She went back to thinking about Oola. She thought about how fun it was when she was dancing with Oola on Ryloth, she thought about the times when she would laugh with her like she did with her friends now. She imagined Oola was sitting next to her laughing and singing just like they used to.

"Sienn! Sienn! Sienn!" Fiji shouted.

"What!" Sienn said as she fell backwards, startled.

"I was just telling you that Luke finally returned from Tatooine," Fiji told her calmly.

"What? He's back already?" She said as he jumped up and ran toward the landing platform. She saw a man with blonde hair and an orange pilot suit walking out of a custom made X-Wing. Landing just a little ways away was an old republic carrier ship that dropped off three sentient beings, two humans and a Wookie. Sienn immediately recognized them as Princess Leia Organa, Pilot of the Millennium Falcon Han Solo and his trusted Wookie companion Chewbacca. Sienn had never actually met the three in person, but had seen a lot of pictures, statues and other memorabilia of the three Rebel heros.

She ignored the three rescued captives and made her way directly towards Luke. He was greeted by and entourage of beings, but Sienn fought her way through the crowds to greet Luke.

"Luke!" she yelled from a distance.

Luke scanned the crowd for the voice and located Sienn's, "Sienn, it's good to see you."

"You too," she told him as she finally made it to his landing platform. The crowds cheered like a roaring wave. They congratulated the Jedi for rescuing their companions. While the crowds cheered for Luke, Sienn admired his ship. The custom made X-Wing, which she called Sal, was beautiful. It was made for speed. The weaponry was highly advanced, but the beauty and speed were unparalleled. It had a deep crimson paintjob, with a beautiful white line painted on top and bottom of the crimson line. It had extremely large, but incredibly light weight engines, with a special compact, less powerful hyper drive, which allowed the X-wing to go into light speed. It was definitely a ship Sienn desired to pilot one day, but for now she just wanted to talk to Luke.

"Luke, can we talk later," Sienn whispered to him.

"Um, Sure Sienn," Luke said in a puzzled and slightly confused manner.

"Thanks," Sienn told him as she skipped off into the distance.

It was close to 5 standard galactic time and the fiery sun of Arbra was setting behind the stunningly beautiful snow-capped peaks. The Arbra weather was drastic at times, it would go from a heat stroke like that of Tatooine to a blizzard like one would experience on Hoth. Haven Base, the Rebel base was probably the nicest place on Arbra. It was in the only clear patch of land for miles and to the left of the cavern that held the main base was a small lake. In the lake many exotic creatures swam and lived. Inside the cave smelled like pine, probably from the pine forest located near it. The cave was packed with sleeping bags and tech stuff, making the living conditions not so good, but bearable.

Sienn stood at the edge of the lake, where she asked Luke to meet her, and watched the orange glow of the fading sun. She was mesmerized by the absolute beauty of the sunset. This is what she lived for, this and Luke of course.

"Hey Sienn, how's it goin'?" Luke asked as he approached the edge of the lake. Sienn almost didn't hear him as she turned her attention to the soft soothing sound of the sea as it flowed peacefully within its boundaries. She watched as a fish hopped up at of the crystal blue waves and the sun hit it, reflecting light off of its scales in a beautiful pattern.

"You know you picked a good spot Luke?" Sienn said as she continued to gaze out over the water.

"You okay Sienn?" Luke asked with genuine concern.

"Luke," Sienn turned towards Luke and now spoke with a soft, almost sexy voice, "please let me know, did you find Oola?"

"Oola?" Luke said tapping his chin inquisitively, as if he was thinking hard about who Oola was.

"The Twi'lek girl who was with me when you first found me, she was captured by Jabba, did you see her?"

"Sorry Sienn, but I didn't see her," Luke said remorsefully, "but that doesn't mean she is dead, I mostly only saw people on the sail barge, and I'm positive not all of the dancers were on the barge. I have a feeling some of them are still alive in the palace, which was unharmed when I left."

Sienn's eyes lit up like the sun, "are you sure some dancers were still in the palace?"

"Positive," Luke said smiling.

"I have to go to Tatooine," she said, "I have to try to find Oola, if she is alive she has to be on Tatooine."

She looked out over the water, then towards the mountains, then towards the sunset, then at Luke and the base. She knew she would miss this place so much. She would miss Fiji, Seno, Chet, and especially Luke. She would miss the lunches with her friends; she would miss sleeping in a comfortable place where she would wake up to find her friends and allies.

"Are you sure?" Luke asked her.

"If she's alive, I have to find her, so I will," Sienn said with hardcore determination written all over her face.

"You wanna take my ship?" Luke asked one last question.

"You mean you won't fight with me?"

"Not if this is what you think you have to do."

"Thank you," Sienn sighed as she grabbed Luke and pulled him into a tight embace, "and of course I would like to take Sal to Tatooine, but what if I can't return for whatever reason?"

"You will," Luke said as he walked back towards the cavern, "you will."
