A/N:Hi, first off i'd like to say this is my first fanfic so please no flames.And second enjoy the story. Please R&R. And also after two people talk with each other for a while the person who's speaking alternates, I just thought might be a problem for some people.

I do not own Star Wars or any main characters from Star Wars that may be in this story.

Chapter One: The Desert Can Be Harsh

Out in the harsh deserts of Tatooine, two jawas carried a disabled droid to thier sandcrawler.

"We should make some good money off this one at the swap meet.", Jinta said.

"What should we do with the blaster it was holding?" Said Vintan.

"Just leave it. You know weapons are forbiden in our tribe."

"But it's a tusken rifle."

"Really? Let me see!"

"It's never been used. Wait, what would a droid be doing with a tusken rifle?"

"It could be a bounty hunter droid and it was keeping it as a trophy. Come on if we take much longer we'll probably get in trouble."

"Ok," said Vintan in a disappointed voice. But he picked it up anyway and quickly stashed it under his cloak while Jinta wasn't looking. He started to run back to the droid, but he stepped on something sharp and stumbled to the ground.

"What happened?" Jinta said in an annoyed tone. Vintan paused to look at what he tripped on and to his delight it was a durindfire.

"I tripped a durindfire in the sand! This'll be worth alot." He exclaimed happily.

"Ok, now can we go back to the sandcrawler? This heat is killing me." They hastily rushed back to the sandcrawler to get a nice drink of water.

"There's just a small bit left to the route the shaman gave us then we return home to the fortress," said Dintey, the clan leader, as he and Vintan walked down a long corridor in the sandcrawler.

"When do you think we'll return?" said Vintan.

"In about two days."

"Good because I miss being home. This was one of the longest journeys we have ever taken."

"Indeed. Well, have a good sleep, for we have a long day's work ahead of us."

"Ok Dintey, good night."

But Vintan didn't get any sleep because he stayed up all night studying and tinkering with the tusken rifle he found earlier. After a few hours he just started to doze off when he noticed some inscribing on the blaster's side. There were many pictures of jawas on it. He gasped and started thinking about what he had found. Then suddenly he heard a loud bang that sounded like a gun shot. He continued to hear loud bangs until silence befell the quarters.

He slowly started to hold up his gun and suddenly his door swung open slamming up against the wall and a bullet went through his arm and he quickly picked up the gun again and shot straight where the bullet came from. He heard two thuds and saw he had just killed two tusken raiders. He quickly closed the door and reached for the first aid kit and wrapped a bandage around his arm. He started to hear the constant growling of the tusken raiders' language. It started to get louder and louder until it stopped short. He had guessed they had noticed the two dead ones. He quickly opened his secret hiding hole and jumped in, quietly closing it. It was very cramped, even for a small jawa. He heard the door open and some loud crashing as the tuskens destroyed his room looking for him. After a while he heard a few seconds of silence then a slam as they closed the door. He slept in his hiding spot until morning. Then he quietly crept out of it and started to look around. His gun was gone and the entire place looked like one big massacre. He quickly looked in Jinta's room and saw he wasn't there. Then he began the long journey back to the fortress.

A/N:Hope you liked chapter 1. Chapter 2 will be up shortly.
