Welcome Everyone!
I decided to mix together all my one-shots (except Choices, because there may be a second chapter... one day... maybe... :3 )
This first one was a gift for a wonderful friend.
I deeply hope you'll enjoy it. Love you AgnieszkaPL! :D
Have a nice reading time!

Unveil : Operation K. D. H. H.
...
-"Is everything ready?" Asked Kanan, whispering.
The Mandalorian and the Lasat nodded, leaning over the lounge's table with the Jedi to whisper too.
-"The uniforms are." Answered Sabine.
-"Bwoop Beep Bwoo". Added Chooper.
-"The troops too, but some were delayed..." Confirmed Zeb.
-"How long before they reach rendezvous point?" Inquired the man.
-"More or less 20 minutes." Replied the Lasat.
-"Just enough to keep the battle plan active before they become suspicious." Stated Kanan, taking a pondering pose. -"Is Commander Sato briefed on his task?"
-"He is waiting for our call." Answered Zeb.
-"Good, now we..."
Kanan's talk was interruptep by the door opening, Hera and Ezra entering in the lounge.
-"There, we got everything you wrote on the list!" Claimed the boy, holding a big box.
-"Explain me again why this was first priority before the next mission?" Questionned Hera, a bag in each hand.
-"If we are successful, we may be too occupied after to refill correctly our supply." Smiled the man, taking the bags to relieve Hera.
She raised an eyebrow, smiling mischievously. -"Too occupied to refill our food supply? What would you do without me?"
-"You know better than anyone that I'd be nothing without you." He smiled more warmly.
Sabine suddenly jolted. -"Incoming transmission."
Ezra posed the box not far from the table, frowning. Did he just see her calling more than receiving the call?
Commander Sato hologram appeared. -"I see everyone is there. Good. We need to hurry to the rendezvous point now. There was a leaking and the plan is jeopardized!"
-"What!?" Voice everyone. Kanan, Sabine, Zeb and Chopper jerked more than the others...
Hera leaned a hand on the table. -"What happened exactly?"
-"Most of our fleet reached temporary base 'Kilo Delta Hotel Hotel' (Or KDHH for short), and, when they landed, they were ambushed by Imperial's troops on the ground. They need back up, now!"
-"We're on our way, Commander Sato." Replied the Twi'lek, rushing to the cockpit.
Ezra dashed too, but stopped at the doorframe. -"Why are you staying around the table? We should arm the Ghost's cannons before arriving."
Everyone beside him exchanged looks before Kanan motioned to Chopper who rolled toward the boy. -"We know, we'll take positions. Take the cannon under the cockpit."
-"But..." Chopper interrupted Ezra's talk by pushing him to his seat.
When the door closed, the man sighed. -"This was not part of the plan..."
-"When did one of your plan never had to be changed halfway?" Mocked Zeb, patting heavily Kanan's back before rushing to the Phantom's canon seat.
-"Don't worry" Added Sabine, a hand on his shoulder. "As soon as we get rid of the troublemaker, we can continue with the plan as planed. I'll leave the main canon to you. Maybe you could vent some frustration on the enemy's ship." She winked and dashed to help Hera.
Kanan sighed soundly once more. Why, today of all day, must the Empire prove to be a thorn in his foot?!
Nevermind, he needed something to disperse the butterfly in his stomach. Shooting down a few Tie should do the work...
...
Finally passing the enemy's ship blockade, Hera took the incoming call.
-"Good job." Said Sato. "Continue to KDHH, we'll finish the job in space while you rescue our men in the base."
-"Understood." Replied the Twi'lek, moving the Ghost command to initiate their landing.
As soon as the Rebel's ship touched the ground, the docking ramp opened to let the passage free for the crew.
Grabbing Sabine's arm just before she jumped out, Ezra frowned looking at her. -"I thought you hated secrets."
-"I don't see what you're..." She tried to deny, but he cut her speech.
-"Don't even start, I saw you calling Commander Sato while you said he was the one calling."
-"Look, I realized that, sometimes, secrets are needed. Now, we chat or we shoot and save our comrades?"
He released her arm, still frowning. -"This isn't over."
-"I know, but I promise you'll understand everything the minute this battle is over." And she wore her helmet before jumping.
-"I hope so." He muttered under his breath, taking his lightsaber in hand before rushing into the action too.
...
After a few minutes of battle, the enemies were still surrounding the Rebels and they were most than happy when the fleet took finally care of the space battle and landed to give a hand. Everyone, the entire rebel fleet and their close friends, were giving everything they had, but the battle soon look like it could be their last!
Kanan grunted, his frustration reaching a summit Ezra had never seen before.
He turned to the boy. -"Kid, this may be our final battle, but I need to do something before hitting the bucket."
-"If you wanna hit a bucket, aim at the Imp." Retorted the boy, still angry to have been let out of their little secret.
-"Ezra," He grabbed the kid's shoulder tightly in his hand, deflecting a shot while staring intensely into his electric blue eyes. "This is probably the most important thing I'll have ever done in my entire life, and, to do it now, I'll need cover up." He tightened even more his grip. "Can I count on you?"
The boy swiftly moved under the man's arm to stand behind his back, deflecting another shot. They looked at each other for a second and, without another word, they both nodded.
Running toward Hera with Ezra on his heel, Kanan shot two Stormtroopers menacing the Twi'lek before finishing his course by grabbing the woman's arms.
-"Hera, I wanted to tell you something and, before you protest, let me finish." He took a deep breath and spoke so loud that his speech could be heard by everyone despite the battle's uproar. "I said that, without you, I'd be nothing. And I think what I said. Before meeting you, I was a shadow of my old self. But, then I met you, and you changed my life for the better. You gave me your light so I could continue on and, today," He dropped on one knee, getting a little box out of his pocket and opening it to show a ring. "Today, I would like you to give me your hand."
Hera's face changed from exasperation to total astonishment!
Ezra turned his head to look at them, incredulous. -"What, that was the secr..."
A blaster shot landed near Kanan's foot. -"Ezra, less talking and more Cover Up!"
The boy turned back to his duty, smiling widely.
Kanan turned again toward Hera's watering eyes. -"Hera Syndulla, would you be my wife?"
The tears started to roll down her cheeks. She dived to hold him, kissing him so strongly that they fell on the ground. Rising on top of him, she smiled while wiping her eyes. -"Yes, Kanan Jarrus. Yes, I want!"
An epic roar arose from all around them, the Rebels shouting to show their support. The shout startled the Troopers, giving them a second of hesitation that was fatal to them. They got submerge by the Rebel's renewed determination and drove away from their secret base!
...
After the retreat of the Empire's troops, the Ghost crew and their Rebels friends reunited around Kanan and Hera who were holding each other closely.
Ezra bumped gently Sabine's arm with his fist, smiling. -"So, this was what you were secretly planing?"
-"Yep, secret projec H, A.K.A Kanan Demand Hera's Hand."
-"Still, you could have counted me in." Pouted the boy.
-"You did your part, we could never have sent Hera on a market errand without getting her suspicious and, you not knowing made it the more easier." She smiled back.
Commander Sato approached a little more, speaking to Kanan and Hera. -"I think that, with the defeat of our enemies, we'll never have a better occasion to seal this union without any more disturbance."
Hera was taken aback. -"But, we shouldn't rush it. It would be preferable to organize it well and, I mean, we aren't even dressed for the occasion!"
Sabine walked beside her, offering a rectangular box. -"I took care of the groom and bride's uniform."
-"When did you take my measurements!?" Jolted the Twi'lek.
-"You know, this time after this big battle when you woke up really late the morning after..."
-"What did you d... wait, you gave me something to drink before I got to sleep, didn't you!?" Frowned Hera.
-"Don't look at me like that! It was chamomile! You were already so worn out that you didn't even winced once while I was taking them!"
-"Let's say I pass on this one. We still need someone to marry us..." Added Hera, calmer.
-"A Senator can marry people on his planet."
She turned to see the Senator Organa walking toward her, smiling widely.
-"But, if we are seen on your planet by Imperials, you may end up with a lot of problems!" She insisted.
-"No need to go there. My ship belongs to my country, being aboard is like being in my land's territory." He smiled more widely and moved to let the Princess Leia tend a bouquet of flowers.
A few minutes after, everyone had given a hand to clear the place from the battle's mess and were forming two groups beside each side of the Senator's ship docking ramp. A big red carpet was unrolled and Hera walked on it, holding her father's arm.
Her white dress was magnificent, with green decoration matching her shining eyes and the veil covering her head was split in its middle with white flowers fitting perfectly with the curve of her lekku.
She reached the docking ramp, walking on it to rejoin Kanan. He was formally dressed in black suit, Zeb behind him as a witness.
Senator Organa pronounced the vow, repeated by the couple with so much warmth that they could have made the planet Hoth melt.
-"You can exchange the rings." Claimed the Senator and Chopper bumped into Ezra's legs, opening a compartment with two rings inside.
The boy took them clumsily. He didn't think he would have to participate and he was way more used to act unnoticed. Walking slowly with the precious items, he handed them both, but Hera and Kanan took his hands in theirs.
-"Ezra, there is something we wanted to say before." Started Hera.
-"We had talked about it before, Hera and me, and we decided that, if one day we could become a real couple..." a ball formed itself inside Kanan's throat and Hera needed to continue.
-"We would ask you to become our son."
Ezra stunned, speechless. Tears of joy accumulated in his eyes and, out of voice, he nodded to confirm his accord.
The three of them moved to hold each other in one big embrace under another victory roar from the assembly.
Smiling and laughing with all his heart, Ezra decreed it was the best day they ever had!
