A/N: Hi everyone! Okay, so I'm going to basically rewrite the whole story. I know it's weird, but my beta (you know who you are) gave me advice to rewrite the story. She'll be helping me with the chapters, so I'm giving her the credit (once again, you know who you are).

Starring: Natalia Dyer as Brenna Rini and Jodie Sweetin as Lena Alden.

Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars. I just own Brenna and the other OC that might show up later in the story.

Never in my life I imagined this could happen. When I left Alderaan that morning, I thought that this day would be just like any other normal day. I had gone to my friends party on Naboo and then I would be back in a few hours.

Unfortunately, that never happened and I never got to see Alderaan's magnificent landscapes again. That same day was the day my life changed forever.

"Come on, Brenna," my friend Lena said, "Do you really have to leave?"

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah. I need to get home before my mom explodes," I said with a smile, not thinking that it had literally happened by that time.

"Alright, I'll see you around!" Lena chuckled. "You know, you should join me in the Alliance. You'd be a great pilot and a great help to us," she then added with a serious expression on her face.

I shook my head. "Nah, I got a family to take care of," I justified with a wink. Honestly? I wanted to join the rebels with Lena, but for some reason my family liked the Empire and I didn't want to hurt them by joining something that was against it.

"That's too bad. I'd love to have you there with us," Lena replied before waving. "Goodbye then!"

I was already heading towards my ship when I called out to her, "Bye!" I couldn't really wait to go home.

But I would not be going there ever again.

...

It wasn't a short trip through lightspeed as Naboo wasn't that far from Alderaan. Then I arrived in the system. I was already regretting pulling the trigger. When I dropped out of lightspeed, there was no Alderaan. I quickly became confused.

"What the kriff? Is my navicomputer broken or what?" I thought out loud while I checked it out, but it wasn't broken at all. I looked out the window of my ship and frowned. I was in the system where Alderaan was, but no Alderaan. Just a dark, empty space. A horrible thought entered my mind as tears started to fill my eyes. I tried to stop crying as I proceeded to call Lena.

"What's up Brenna? Miss me already?" Lena asked with a smirk. She was wearing her Rebel uniform so I figured she was back with the Rebels.

"I need you to help me," I answered as I put myself together. "I'm in the Alderaan system, but no Alderaan! Do you know what could have happened?" I asked her.

I watched as Lena's eyes went wide with shock. "Oh no!" she cried as she covered her mouth. I gave her a confused look.

"What do you mean 'oh no'?" I asked worriedly.

"Alderaan must have blown up! It's this weapon the Empire built called the Death Star! It's capable of destroying an entire planet!" Lena yelled,

"Alderaan was the first. I'm so sorry Brenna."

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I started to sob. My family, my friends, and everything else on Alderaan was gone. I would never see the greenery again. Or the snow, or the castle or anything again! My family was dead because of the Empire. I started crying loudly. Lena kept saying comforting words, but it wasn't helping at all! My hatred for the Empire grew more and more. I knew what I had to do.

"Lena, what planet are you on right now?" I asked firmly.

"Yavin IV. Why?" Lena asked with a confused tone.

"Is that option of joining the Rebellion still up? The Empire needs to pay for what they did."

Lena smiled proudly. "Of course it's still up. I'll send you the coordinates and I'll see you there." The holocomputer turned off.

Once I got the coordinates from Lena, I made the jump to lightspeed.

...

I landed on Yavin IV, only to meet several armed soldiers as I stepped out of my ship.

"Wait! Don't shoot!" a voice called out. It was Lena running towards the crowd. "She's my friend. She wants to join the Rebellion!" she quickly explained.

I sighed in relief before she took my hand and we entered the base. There were many green neon displays in the room. Then I saw a woman wearing a white dress. She had auburn hair that was in a boy's style cut.

"Hello there. We hear from Lieutenant Lena Alden that you want to join the Rebellion," she said to me.

"Yes ma'am. The Empire needs to pay for what they did to Alderaan," I said with determination in my voice.

The woman smiled. "Welcome to the Alliance, young one. I'm Mon Mothma. Leader of the Rebellion," she introduced, holding out her hand.

I grabbed it and shook it. "Thank you. I'm Brenna Rini."

A/N: So what do you guys think of the rewrite? I'm sure that chapter two will come soon. My beta said it would be soon (wink wink to you out there!).

I hope you like the rewrite so far! Please review!
