Date Night

by Spector7

After the Empire's brutal attack on Chopper Base, Ezra and Sabine suggest that Hera and Kanan take the night off and go out to dinner. Everything goes fine until the Empire finds out about Hera and Kanan's date and pirates try to stop Zeb's supply run. Before they know it, the crew on the Ghost in more trouble then they can handle.

1. a proposal

THE GHOST, KANAN'S ROOM

"A date night?!" Kanan asked, shocked by the proposal.

Both Ezra and Sabine nodded in unison.

"Besides," Sabine added, "I think you and Hera could use some time off."

Kanan groaned. "I'll think about it." Though secretly he had already made up his mind.

Sabine and Ezra nodded and turned to leave the room. Zeb met them in the hall.

"How did it go?" the Lasat asked.

Ezra shrugged. "He said he'd think about it. That isn't a no."

Sabine sighed. "It's about as good as one. I doubt Kanan is interested in going on a date with Hera. But if we told Hera about it…"

Both Ezra and Zeb's face lit up, almost in unison. "Think it'll work?" Zeb asked.

Sabine shrugged. "It's worth a shot."

"Well," Ezra told the others excitedly, "Let's go ask!"

THE COCKPIT OF THE GHOST

"A date night? With Kanan?" Hera asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice.

Ezra nodded. "I think it would be a nice break. Besides, you always work so hard. You and Kanan need a night off."

"Why don't you ask Kanan? I'm sure he would have an answer."

The teen avoided Hera's gaze. "I already asked…"

"And?"

"He said he'd think about it."

Hera smiled, knowingly. "Which is his way of saying no."

Ezra nodded.

With a defeated sigh, Hera admitted that it may be a nice way to get some time off. "Very well," the Twi'lekk finally conceded. "I suppose it couldn't hurt. What date did you have in mind?"

Ezra smiled. "Tomorrow?"

Another defeated sigh from Hera. "Done."

Ezra's smile grew as large as all the grasslands on Lothal combined. "Can I go tell Kanan?" he asked.

Hera nodded, suppressing a smile. "I'll tell Commander Sato that we will be taking the night off." She turned to ask Ezra something, but the boy was gone. The Twi'lekk smiled to herself. She could use a night off. Besides, what could go wrong?
