Star Wars Rebels: May the Force be with You

Me: First Star Wars: Rebels shoutouts! SO excited! First shoutout goes to Friendlylittlespark8 and erzaSWrebels for favoriting me and my story and following me and my story. A special shoutout to sabineandezraforever for a very nice first comment(I will try to get them some nice scenes together). I also got a nice comment from Flowerpetal. Thank you as well. I hope you all keep following.

Ezra: Give me one good reason why they would stop reading.

Me: They could become uninterested.

Ezra: I said a good reason. It's really hard to become uninterested in me. (smug smile)

Me: (playfully punches in the arm)Shut up!

Hera: (enters)What are you two doing?

Ezra: Just discussing the story.

Hera: (pushing Ezra through doorway) Well, you still have errands to run. (looks at me) And you still have a chapter to finish. (leaves with Ezra)

Me: I guess she's right. Here you go. Chapter 2.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Star Wars anything.

Chapter 2: Long Lost Friend

Kyra's P.O.V.

Sometimes I just have to ask myself, WHAT WAS I THINKING!? That was so stupid! Now, I'm riding to who knows where on a stolen speeder. Yes, the former Little Miss Do Gooder just stole a speeder and not one, but two crates of supplies from the Empire.

I was weaving through the town trying to shake the imperials off of my trail, but I wasn't doing as good a job as I had hoped. If any of these people had seen my face, I probably wouldn't have even gotten as far as I had. Mostly because they would probably have a grudge against the person who just destroyed their livelihood. I think I wrecked a good amount of the city before I found a dead end. I was in so much trouble. Then I felt something strange.

Whatever it was, it felt comforting and I could tell it was leading me somewhere. It focused on my right side, so I used the speeder to follow it. Turns out, there was a secret passage to the outside of the city. As I emerged from the city, I saw a very tall building. Maybe hiding in there would be a good idea, I thought.

As I rode towards the building, I had a feeling that I was being watched. I turned around to find no one there, but as I turned to face forward, sure enough, someone was there. I stepped on the break(or whatever stops a speeder) to make sure I didn't hit the person in front of me. I stopped so suddenly that I had almost flown out of the seat.

"Hey! Watch where you're walking! I could have killed you!" I screamed mercilessly. Then, I felt something familiar about this pedestrian. His head was facing the ground, so I couldn't see his face.

"Maybe you should watch where you're steering, you little thief!" he chided. As he said this, he lifted his face to meet my eyes - well helmet. As I looked at him, I gasped. Maybe it was because he was so rude. Maybe it was because he was cute (she's a teen. You can deal), but I think it was because of who he was.

"What's your name?" I asked just to make sure that he was the one I was looking for. He met the description-Blackish hair, blue eyes, tan skin-but it meant nothing without the name. When he said it, the tone of his voice and his answer almost made me scream.

"My name is Ezra Bridger."

Ezra P.O.V.

"Ezra!" the cadet exclaimed. "I've been looking for you." I wasn't sure whether I should be cautious or let my guard down. Yes, this kid just stole from the Empire, but for all I know, it could just be to deceive me.

"Who are you and why have you been looking for me?"

"You don't know who I- Oh! I should probably take my helmet off. Maybe then you'll recognize me." The cadet took off his helmet to reveal the he was actually a she. Whoops! Glad I didn't say anything. As I looked closer, I saw she had brown eyes, tan skin, and dark brown hair stuck in a ponytail with light purple highlights on the ends. The energy I felt around her grew stronger as memories had started flooding back into my brain.

"You sure know your way around a TIE fighter for a kid off the street."

"I've never 'stuck it' to the Empire before. That was fun! Should I feel guilty?"

"I have to get home now, or I'm DEAD! Don't worry. I'll come back and visit in the future. I promise."

"Kyra! I haven't seen you in ages! Where have you been?" This runaway cadet was Kyra Morgan. I met her four years ago on Empire Day. I had just turned 11, and I tried to celebrate on my own. Then, I had run into her while trying to pick out a birthday gift-my energy slingshot. She had actually picked it out for me saying it made me look heroic. To return the favor, I picked out a boomerang for her. After that, we spent the whole day playing pranks on Imperials. Funny as it was, she was my first crush. (again "was." You can deal) That was one of the best days of my life...until she had to go and wreck it by leaving and not showing up for another 4 years! I still don't know why, but I'm about to find out.

"Why did you run away on my birthday?" I spat angrily. She took a step back as her eyes widened with fear.

"I'm sorry, but I did keep my promise. I said I would come back." That's true, but that didn't answer my question. I decided to let it go...for now. An even more important question needed to be answered.

"Why are you wearing a cadet uniform, and why did you steal from the Empire?" She looked down and shifted nervously. I used the force to tell that she was not only nervous but reliving some painful memories. When she looked up, I saw that she was trying to hide something.

"I was...training to be a... a Stormtrooper." She what!?

"You WHAT!?" All this time, I thought I hated everything about the Empire, but no. In fact, I was buddy-buddy with one of it's future soldiers.

"Was training. I'm not anymore. I-"

"You what? What did you do now?" Out of all of the other things she could have been doing when she left on my birthday, she was running back to the Empire and stayed there for four more years?

"I ran away! I found out what I was really being trained to do, and I couldn't stand it. So I ran AWAY!" I was taken back a little by how harshly she said it. She sort of reminded me of Sabine at this point. Imperial girl turned rebel. Maybe I should take it a little easy on her. She did just run away from most of her life.

"I'm...s-s-sorry. I guess I wasn't being fair. So...what do you have in those crates?" She shrugged and pulled the lids off. Blasters. About 40 of them in each crate. I stared in amazement.

"How did you pull this off? You've only stolen once before in your life!"

"I don't know, but what I do know is that there is no way I can use all of these blasters. I only need one. Do you know anyone who could use them?" One thing I still like about Kyra, she has never been greedy. She was willing to give up who all of those balsters which were worth who knows how many creds. I knew I would never have done that before I met my new family. Speaking of which...

"Actually, I do have some people in mind who could really use these. They took me in a couple months ago. C'mon. I'll show you. Kyra and I walked behind my former hideout to where Hera had landed the Ghost. "Spector 2, come in," I said into the comm Hera replied immediately.

"Spector 2 to Spector 6. Are you ready to board?"

"Yes. I brought along a passenger willing to help the cause."

"Alright. Prepare to board. Over and out." When my comm clicked off, I turned to Kyra.

"Ready to meet my new family?"

"As long as they don't bite, it's fine by me." I playfully punched her in the shoulder, then thinking of Zeb, I added, "no promises." As we boarded the Ghost laughing, I thought to myself, maybe we can both start over.

Ezra: (walks in) You post fast.

Me: Do I have to explain every single time? This isn't fast. I just had some time on my hands. I like to get stories going before I stop could for a month because of school.

Ezra: Okay. Kanan wanted me to tell you training is starting soon. He wants both of us in the Phantom.

Me: (surprised) Really? Why?

Ezra: (shrugs) I don't know, but we'd better hurry. (runs out)

Me: Okay, guys. Have a nice weekend. See you next time. (runs out to catch up with Ezra)
