Wanted Dead or Alive

Bane quietly crept forward, gun at the ready as he moved towards the single piece of machinery in the room with him. He knew he wasn't the only looking for this piece, but he didn't see the importance of it. It was this weird shaped box with some buttons and dials on it. It didn't look scary and its energy signature was weak, very weak. He came to stand over it, staring down at it, puzzled why he was being paid so much for one little box.

"I'll take that, Bane," A voice said from behind him and Bane turned to see Aurra Sing, her rifle aimed at his head.

"So, who sent you here?" Bane said smugly, leaning against the box. His elbow slipped and he hit a button. It coughed, then a weird blue light shown from it, blinding them. A high pitched noise filled their ears and they fell to the ground. When it was done, they both looked at the machine. It was the same as before, but now it was humming.

"Great, you broke it," Aurra growled.

"Hey, don't worry your pretty little head. You don't have a big enough rep to fear anything," Bane laughed as he examined the box.

"We're all the same to the Jedi. Just another bounty hunter for their lists," Aurra snarled.

"It's all the same, only the names will change. Everyday it seems we're wasting away. Another place where the faces are so cold, I drive all night just to get back to home," Bane starred at Aurra, eyes wide as he begins to sing. "I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride. I'm wanted dead or alive. Wanted dead or alive."

"Sometimes I sleep; sometimes it's not for days. The people I meet always go their separate ways. Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink. The times when you're all alone all you do is think," Aurra moved closer to Bane, fear in her eyes as she began to sing. "I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride. I'm wanted dead or alive. Wanted dead or alive!"

"Oh and I ride!" Bane grabs Aurra's hand, spinning her round. They start singing together as he holds her in his arms. "I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride.I'm wanted dead or alive."

"And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back," Bane starts to play an air guitar. "I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back."

"I been everywhere, still I'm standing tall," Aurra starts going pumping her fist in the air. "I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all."

"'Cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride!" They both start singing together as they come face to face with each other. "I'm wanted dead or alive!'Cause I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side! I'm wanted dead or alive!" Aurra and Bane go the rest of the way, kissing. Aurra pulls away, eyes wide," What did we just do?"

Bane shakes his head, confused," I don't know."
