Hey guys. I'm new here and this is something I thought of late a few nights ago. The inspiration was from a Wiz Khalifa quote, "Someone asked me if I knew you. A million memories flashed through my mind but I just smiled and said I used to." Please review, only constructive criticism please.
I own nothing, all rights go to George Lucas.
I was buying apples at the market place on Shili, when I noticed a tall figure approach a nearby stand. When I finally gathered the courage to turn and look I saw him. It had to be him. I recognized his blonde hair, which was still long and shaggy, his lightsaber clipped to his belt, and his deep blue eyes were staring right into me.
I tried to walk away but he caught my arm.
"Excuse me?" He said turning me around. I prayed he wouldn't recognize me. After all, it had been 10 years, surely he had long forgotten all about his old rambunctious young padawan from 10 years ago.
"Yes?" I responded, calmly. But on the inside my heart was pounding so loud I was surprised it didn't burst out of my chest.
"Do I know you?" He asked, curiously, as if he was trying so hard to remember his old friend.
I looked up to find he was looking right at my face, analyzing every feature. Oh, how I so wanted to tell him that it was really me and to tell him how much I missed him. But another part of me was reminded about the trial, and my vision of what he would become.
Plastering fake emotion onto my face I shook my head. It always hurt to lie to him.
"No." I said. "I don't think so." He doesn't know me. I told myself. Not anymore.
He nodded and mumbled an apology as he walked on. I watched every step he took as he walked out of my life.
I opened up our old bond one last time, just to be sure. But it seemed he had done the same.
"Good bye, Snips." I heard the words echo through my head. I almost responded but then I accidentally let my shields down for a moment.
He whipped around to look at me, as if it just hit him. But by the time he did I was gone from sight. I watched the hope in his eyes fade as he turned and walked away one last time.
"Bye, Skyguy." I said out loud. Then it was my turn to leave. As we vanished from each other's lives once again, I left the all of the memories behind me vanish as well. Memories of the order, the 501st….of Skyguy. I was finally free.
