TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK OF IT!! EXACTLY!!!

I awoke in the middle of the night. The moon shone through my
window and laid its light to rest on the foot of my bed. I don't know what it was
that disturbed my sleep; I had had no nightmare, was not restless, I was
feeling just fine, not sick at all. "oh well,"I thought, sliding out of bed
and onto the harsh wooden floor. Then from outside there came a whirring noise.
Wondering what it could be, I leaned out my window, looking left and right.
There in the sky a light blinked weakly on and off. However weak it was,
though, it seemed to grow brighter by the second. I couldn't see the actual
craft, but I could tell it was having trouble staying aloft. It plummeted
and righted itself, then rocked and swerved. It was losing altitude. I
wanted to help it land but I would surely be punished for that.
"Maybe it will find a safe landing by itself," I thought. But, I knew that
to be impossible. With all the caves, crevices and irregularities in the area,
the roads were the only safe places to land. I hesitated for a second, then
ran to fetch the lights. There were more than six, but that's all I could carry
along with the wands - long sticks with balls of light on the
end used to communicate to pilots.
Out the door I ran and onto the street. I practically threw the
lights to places on either side of the road, the craft was getting closer,
I could tell by the light; but it couldn't be any bigger than a speeder,
because I couldn't see it at all. I placed myself in the middle of the road
and waved the handlights in the universal sign for a safe landing site.
The pilot seemed to see me and start toward my makeshift runway. Soon
I could see its smooth outline as it slowed. It didn't slow quite enough, running
right past me and about twenty feet more before it stopped. I had to jump out
of the way before it hit me. The craft was definately only a two-seater, if
that. I jogged toward it to see if the pilot was all right but then she
rolled out and came barrelling right at me. I swore, "The is exactly what
Aunt and Uncle warned me about. I've saved some sort of lunatic or bandit,"I thought.
I ran out of the pilot's way, but she proved the faster and was on top of me
before I knew it.
"Put the lights out!" she commanded, "Hurry, they will see!"
"They?" I asked.
"DO IT!!" The girl yanked the wands from me and smashed the bulbs on
the ground.
"What are you doing?!" I cried, "Stop!" The girl ran to my other
lights and I ran after her, lights did not come cheap. I ran to the row of
lights opposite her and turned them off, maybe the lunatic wouldn't destroy
them if they were off. I was right, she didn't. After all the lights were off,
temporarily or permanently, all the pilot did was stand there. Well, I wasn't
going to just stand here. I marched up to her, "What were you thinking, you
lunatic! You'll have to pay for those lights! I gave you a safe place to
land..."
She covered my mouth with her hand and dragged me into an alley near the road.
"Now listen here," she said, "Do you know what assassin droids are?"
I nodded, but couldn't get free to tell her off. "Good. Then you understand
what's after me and why I don't need lights or some little girl screaming."
Well, this much was clear, this girl was a criminal, either on the run or
trying to con me. She released me.
"How do I know I can trust you?" I asked.
"You don't have to trust me," She said, "All you need to know is that
my little friend here," she patted a blaster at her side that I hadn't noticed
before,"doesn't like it when people don't cooperate with me."
"oooh, dear," I thought, "wish I'd listened to Aunt and Uncle now.
What a stupid thing I'd done, now look at what a mess I was in!"
