So far, the camping trip that Cara was on had been disastrous. Her best friend had been bitten by a snake that- guess what- had been poisonous. Her enemy had almost drowned in the nearby ocean. It hadn't been supposed to rain, and yet it had rained- and it had been freezing. Not only that, but the rain had been nonstop.

Needless to say, Cara was glad that it was finally time to go. She stood next to a stream off the side of the road, waiting for the gray and blue charter bus to show up. A few other people stood next to her, all of them older than her and louder than her. They stood in a circle, laughing loudly and pushing each other around.

Suddenly, Cara looked down and saw a flat rock that was a complete circle. It was a beautiful shade of blue. "At least something good might come out of this trip," Cara muttered, reaching to pick up the stone.

That was when the charter bus pulled up. Cara stood up straight and picked up her backpack. The rowdy kids next to her pushed their way onto the bus, and coming up the street were the rest of the campers. Cara stood in line after the rowdy people and found a seat near the front of the bus.

Then, as Cara looked out of the window, she realized that she had left her water bottle outside, on the ground, and since the trip was going to be a nonstop, four hour trip, she needed that water bottle.

After darting outside, grabbing the water bottle, and rushing back onto the bus, Cara sat down in her seat. She placed the water bottle down on the seat next to her, and then suddenly gasped. The beautiful blue stone was in the seat next to her.

Cara had not put the stone there. She hadn't even touched the stone. So how had it ended up in her seat?

Cara picked up the stone to examine it, and that was when everything went dark.

Screaming, Cara tried to drop the stone, but it was glued to her hand. Suddenly, Cara had a feeling that she had been slammed back against the seat of the bus, and vision returned.

She was alone on a what sounded like a plane. It was cold, and there were voices coming from a doorway to the left, but other than that, the place seemed abandoned. As Cara sat up, she had the strangest feeling that she was very far from home.

As Cara sat up, she heard yelling, and then something bright blue shot over her head. Screaming, Cara scrambled under a table as she heard whoever had shot at her shouting.

Something large, furry, and brown stood in front of the table, and Cara had time to smell it before the table was lifted up. Once Cara saw the bearlike face of the bigfoot-like monster that had lifted the table, she fainted.

The next thing she knew, she was lying on a couch with three people, two robots, and a monster in the room with her. Without thinking, Cara sat up, and suddenly everyone had pointed their weapons at her- the oldest human in the group having a green sword that seemed to be made out of a laser.

"Who are you?" asked one of the humans. He was wearing a white shirt and a navy blue vest which I didn't think anyone on Earth would wear.

"My name is Cara." Cara answered quickly, eyeing the gun that the man was pointing at her. "Look, I have no idea how I got here-"

"Oh, I know how you got here. You stowed away." The man interrupted. "So are you from the empire? Or are you one of Jabba's people?"

"What are you talking about?" Cara asked. "Where am I?"

The monster made a groaning sound, and Cara flinched.

"Wait!" The younger human said suddenly. "I know you!"

"What?"

"I know you! But you vanished before we got R2D2 back when he ran away, and so much happened since then-"

"Look, I have no idea what you're talking about." I told him. "Who are you?"

"I'm Luke, remember?" He said.

"No, I don't. Who are the rest of you?" I asked.

"This is Old Ben- Obi-Wan Kenobi," Luke told me, pointing towards the old man. "And that is Han Solo." He pointed to the other human.

"What are they?" I asked, pointing to the robots and the monster.

"That's Chewbacca, R2D2, and C3PO." Luke answered.

"Luke, are you positive that she's not a spy for the empire, one of Jabba's bounty hunters, or- god forbid- going to steal any of my money?" Han asked.

"I'm positive." Luke answered.

"Well, alright then." Han said. "I'm going to want extra for bringing her along."

Luke glared at Han but nodded his head.

"What are you guys doing?" Clara asked. "What's your big plan for the moment?"

"That's a suspicious question-" Han began, but Obi-Wan interrupted.

"I sense that she is not a danger." He told Han. "Set your mind at ease."

"Yeah, that's going to happen. We're going on the Death Star!"

"What?" I asked. "Why would you want to go to someplace called the Death Star?"

"To rescue a princess..." Luke replied with an unfocused look in his eyes. "We're the only ones who can help her."

"Well, then. Nothing makes you feel quite as good as that." I muttered sarcastically. "So what's the chance that you will survive the Death Star?"

"Almost none." Han answered angrily.

"What's the chance that I'll survive the Death Star?" I asked.

"Higher if you come with us, instead of staying on this ship." Obi-Wan told me.

"Well, isn't that wonderful."

Chewbacca made his growling sound, and I gave a little shriek, causing the others to start laughing. I glared at them, and that was when one of the robots made a beeping noise.

The robot that made the beeping noise was a smaller one, shaped like a trash can with blue paint here and there on it. Once it made the beeping noise, the other robot- a solid gold one the size and shape of a human- gasped.

"R2D2! What has gotten into you?" The gold robot, C3PO gasped.

I turned my attention back to the living creatures. "Does everyone have a gun like yours?" I asked Han.

"Everyone on the Death Star will." He promised.

"Everyone but one." Obi-Wan corrected.

"Who won't have a laser gun?" I asked.

"Darth Vader. He uses a lightsaber." Obi-Wan replied calmly.

"Why does he get a different weapon?" I asked nervously.

"Because he knows how to use the power of the force, like me, and like how Luke will learn. The lightsaber is the weapon of the force."

"What is the force?" I asked.

As Obi-Wan Kenobi explained what the force was, there was suddenly a blue glow, and Han ran out of the room. "We're being pulled in!" He shouted.

We all ran into the room with Han, except for the robots. When I looked out of the window in that room, I screamed. For some reason, I had assumed that we were all on nice, stable, solid ground- not space.

A blue beam of light was all around the spaceship, and it was pulling us towards a massive grey structure that was floating in the middle of the nothingness that was space. It looked like it was still being built at the top, because it was clearly supposed to be a perfect circle but wasn't.

Within a couple of minutes that seemed to stretch on forever, we were inside of the Death Star. It was a busy place, full of people who were all wearing the same white uniform that appeared to be made out of plastic. All of them held the same kind of gun.

Two of the people outside prepared to walk inside, and I asked, "What are we going to do when they come in?"

Chewbacca and Han just laughed, and went into the adjoining room. There was the sound of something slapping the ground, and then Luke and Han came back dressed as the people in white.

"This is the deal. Chewbacca and the girl-"

"Cara-"

"Are going to pretend to be prisoners, while Luke and I pretend to be stormtroopers. The droids are going to come with us, and..."

"I can look for Leah on my own." Obi-Wan said.

With everything figured out, a pair of futuristic handcuffs were placed on me, and the same for Chewbacca. They weren't closed around my wrists, thank god.

We left the ship and ventured out into the open in the Death Star. I thought my heart was going to pound its way out of my chest.

Han and Luke walked with Chewbacca and me between them, and seemed to know where they were going, even though I knew neither one of them could have been on this thing before.

After about twenty minutes of walking in silence, we made it to the outside of where all the prisoners on the Deah Star were at. Two people wearing the plastic white were behind a counter in front of the door.

For some reason, as soon as Han and Luke started trying to talk their way in, I stopped paying attention to what was going on. That is, until I got pushed into a wall and a laser bullet hit the wall that my head had been in front of.

I screamed.

"Well, pay attention then!" Luke shouted at me as he grabbed a gun from the enemy and hit the person on the head with it. The person crumpled.

Meanwhile, Chewbacca had torn his handcuffs off and practically ripped the other guy to pieces.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side." I whispered.

"I'll get the princess, you three stay here and make sure nothing happens." Luke said. Then he vanished behind the prisoner door.

Not long after that, some machine behind he counter buzzed and a voice said "we got reports of a disturbance. Is everything okay?"

I glanced around anxiously.

"Everything's fine." Han replied.

"You sure? Because screaming and yelling was heard."

"You don't sound very professional." Han told the voice.

"Okay, that's it. I've had a rough week. My girlfriend broke up with me and my wife wants to get a divorce." The voice said in a tone that hinted towards a rant. "I've tried really hard to keep it together. Now I'm going to send someone down there of you don't-"

Han shot the machine. "Oops." He muttered.

"Seriously?" I asked.

"Well, talking wasn't helping." Han pointed out. "Sometimes you just have to, you know, shoot machines."

Just then, Luke came out of the prisoner area with a woman behind him. She had her brown hair braided into a two buns around her ears, and she was carrying Luke's gun.

"This is Princess Leah." Luke introduced.

Footsteps were heard around the corner of he hallway we were in.

"Let's go." Leah said, and we ran, choosing hallways at random. All of a sudden, we got to a narrow hallway that only I could fit through. The adults were stuck.

"Come on!" I should from inside the hallway.

"We can't fit! We're too big!" Luke cried.

Leah looked around and found a largish hatch that was locked. She snatched Han's gun and shot the lock, opened the hatch, and looked at the others. "We have to go through here." She told them.

"Give me back my gun-"

"Just go down there!" Leah snapped at Han. The footsteps of our pursuers got closer and closer, and so the adults jumped through the hatch.

There wasn't time for me to jump through, so I stayed in the narrow hallway and continued to run as fast as I could.

At the end of the narrow hallway was a normal- sized hallway, and I ran down that as fast as I could. I could still hear footsteps behind me.

Suddenly, I got to a place where everything was completely silent. There was a chair and a desk and that was it.

Since it was silent, I decided to rest. My heartbeat slowed and I tried to decide what to do. Should I hide here or try to make it back to Han's ship?

Obviously, the ship, and I knew that the adults would not wait for me to find it. I needed to find it now.

I went back to running, and tried to retrace my steps back to the ship. Luckily, I didn't see or hear anyone as I headed back.

Finally, and by some miracle, I made it back to the place where Han's ship had been. The area was filled with the people who worked on the Death Star, and so I decided to make a mad dash for Han's ship.

Just as I started running though, the ship left. Just like that. I was trapped.

I backed up as fast as I could into the shadows, thankful that nobody had seen me. Then I looked over and saw Obi-Wan Kenobi's robe on the ground.

I walked over to it and picked it up. Did this mean that Obi-Wan was dead and vanished or did it mean that he had lost his mind and ran around this place naked?

Suddenly, someone behind me said, "You," and I spun around to see someone in all black with a black mask on so that I couldn't see their face.

"Excuse me?" I asked nervously. My voice was shaking.

The person pulled out a red lightsaber and swung it at my head.

I screamed, and then everything went black.
