Hello everyone! Tis my birthday to day and to celebrate I have put up this chapter!

I basically wrote this story cause I HATE the original COPL because none of the characters act like they should so I took it upon myself to write this story. So this is how I imagine COPL should have been.

Holly and Tiberion (also in School, Slavery and Solo) are in it because I started this story a long time before SSS and they've always been in it, I just happened to finish SS before this.

Discalimer: Don't own anything, sadly.

So hope you enjoy...

Chapter 1The Mon Remonda sailed through the emptiness of space. Deputy communications officer Holly Mentiri sat in her seat swivelling it around. It was boring. Her job was to watch the comlink and talk to the people who called until she found out what they wanted. The problem was space was big, and very few people really needed to call a New Republic star cruiser and she wasn't actually the communications officer, she had just been shoved randomly in the post because there was nothing else she could do. Rummaging in her bag, which held things to keep her sane; her hand touched the scaly neck of a sleeping dragon. She picked it up. The dragon was as long as her arm, although his long tail and neck made up most of his length. He was called Tiberion and shape shift into any form, as long as it was a dragon. His mistress's hand picked up his small body and pulled him out. The long tail fell as he came out, but he opened his eyes and looked at Holly with piercing ice blue eyes.

"Hello lovely," Holly whispered to him as he made a gurgling noise.

"Why did you have to wake me up," Tiberion could talk by projecting his voice into others heads.

"Because you're lazy, and I'm bored," was the reply, Tiberion closed his eyes in pleasure as Holly rubbed him under the chin, then dumped him onto the control panel.

"Ow," he said as he curled up, "You didn't have to do that you know," he had a drawling voice, which could get on your nerves, he was sarcastic and proud, but he had a heart of gold underneath. As a joke Holly sometimes called him 'Mr Darcy', to which he tried to eat her fingers.

Both of them came from Tindris Anoka, a planet near Corellia, it had a wonderful reputation as the most paranoid planet ever. During the Emperor's reign, the planet had shut its self up and shot at any unauthorised traffic, like Star Destroyers. Holly had very short blond hair and piercing green eyes and the appearance of a 25 year old, she couldn't remember how old she really was, because after being banished from her planet, she had had her memory wiped, all she could remember was that she had a brother and sister and who Tiberion was, and of course how to fly ships. After being exiled she had become a smuggler and somehow had ended up on some back water planet, where one of her smuggling contacts picked her up.

"Holly, Holly," Tiberion said in a slow voice bringing her back from her daydream and waving his thin tail in front of her face, "There is a light flashing."

Holly looked, "At last, someone wants to talk to us," she looked at her dragon, "Bet it's the General's girlfriend," Tiberion sniggered.

"How much do you bet?" he asked as Holly reached for the button to answer the call.

"I don't bet, you silly dragon," Holly went to press the button, "Much," She gave a mischievous smile and hit the red button. "Hello," she said in a business like manner, "This is the New Republic Star Cruiser Mon Remonda, Communications Officer Holly Mentiri speaking."

Tiberion rolled his eyes. There was silence on the other end of the line.

"Great," Holy muttered savagely, "that's the third call this week with no one on the end."

Tiberion yawned, stretching, "Does it matter?"

"Probably not," Holly replied noting down on the call register what had happened and then she looked at the time. It was about time someone took over her post. All around her people were walking off to their beds. Finally someone came to replace Holly and she wandered off to her bed.

Please review, but please be nice. I had to watch a video about how an atomic bomb will kill you today, so I'm slightly depressed, but reviews will cheer me up.
