The story of Gabrielle Rybec Pike

Tears of sorrow ran down her face as she clutched her uncle's hand. After so much she had been through her uncle was taking her away. It seemed like yesterday that Captain Solo had found her and her mother on Corellia. It had been so nice having a "father" and of course Princess Leia. Leia had treated Gabrielle as if Gabrielle was here own daughter. But now her uncle had come to take her from them.

Leia bent down in front of Gabrielle. "No more tears now alright? Your going to go live with your real family," she said wiping the tears from Gabrielle's face.

"But I want to stay with you," Gabrielle told Leia almost whispering.

"Oh Gabrielle," Leia said as she wrapped Gabrielle in a hug. "You'll get along fine. Now go on with your uncle and be a good girl."

As Leia stood up Han picked her up and told her. "Your uncle will teach you well. Maybe someday you can be a good smuggler like me."

Gabrielle giggled.

"Come Gabrielle," her uncle Kasey said impatiently tugging on her hand.

"Bye," Gabrielle said softly as Kasey lead her to the Muerte Subita.

"I can not believe you could do this to me!" Kasey exclaimed. "I've provided you shelter, I've fed you, and I've clothed you. How the hell could you leave me like this?"

"Uncle Kasey we have been through this a hundred times!" Gabrielle said exasperated. "I believe that I could learn more from Master Skywalker than I ever could you."

"I have taught you everything I know..."Kasey said angrily. "You would leave just like that?"

Gabrielle looked away quickly.

"Fine. If that's the way you want it then that's what you'll have. We will land at Yavin in the morning," Kasey said angrily as he stalked off.

Gabrielle could feel her eyes beginning to burn with tears, but quickly brushed them away. If he wants to be that way then fine he can be that way. There would be no feelings lost with me, Gabrielle thought.

With that she fell back on her bunk and succumbed to sleep.
