The day my world crumbled!
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars, George Lucas does but if I did own it do you think I'd be writing these stories?
(Luke's POV.)
As I approach my x-wing, I hear a familiar voice call my name.
"Hey Luke!" He shouts.
I turn and see my best friend from back home on Tatooine, Biggs Darklighter.
"Biggs! How are ya?" I call back in utter surprise.
"Fine, I'll be right up there with ya." He assures me.
"Boy do I have stories to tell you!" I say
" Tell them to me when this thing is over!" He says.
So we both see each other to our ships and climb into the one-person cockpit. I feel I can take the whole Empire myself and no one can stop me. I'm nervous and ready for the action at the same time. But I wasn't prepared for what was to become of Biggs.
We take off and the battle has begun. The battle is intense; I turn my X-wing into a diving roll, barely missing enemy fire. Later on, Me, Biggs and Wedge go down for our attack run on the Death Star. Wedge's ship has been hit and can't do any more good back where he is at so he pulls out. Then, suddenly my best friend is taken from the world.
NOOOOOOOOO! I mentally scream. At that very moment my world fell to pieces. I had vowed to blow this thing up for the Rebellion but now I was doing it more for Biggs. In one quick flash the gargantuan space station was blown up. I pretended to be happy as I climbed out of my X-wing but I was devastated on the inside. Biggs Darklighter, the greatest friend a 19-year-old Tatooine farm boy turned Alliance hero could ever have was dead. I wanted to die so much. But I knew Biggs wouldn't want that.
After the ceremony and after the burial of the fallen heroes, I go and sit by Biggs' grave and cry my heart out.
"Biggs I can't take the pain anymore!" I cry
I sit and think that this is just one big nightmare that I'll never wake up from. Suddenly, Biggs life force appears before me.
"Luke, we'll meet again someday. I'll be the first one to meet you at the gates of Heaven. Then you can tell me all those stories. It will be just like old times Luke, and remember I'll be watching you from up above." He told me.
Then it faded out. Han comes over beside me to see if I'm ok.
"Hey kid, you gonna be all right?" He asks me
"Yeah Han, I just want to be alone for a while" I respond.
"It's about Biggs isn't it?" He asks
"Yes it is." I said in a shaky voice
I put my head in my hands and began to cry. I let my tears steam down my face as I looked to the sky. One day I'd tell my kids about Biggs Darklighter, the greatest friend I'll ever have!
The End
