Ryo switched off the hologram as fast as he could, he hated looking at the smug face of General Hux, but he wanted to know what this was about. The First Order?! Contacting his father?! How come he never knew about this? Why hadn't his father told him? He had to find out what this was about, Ryo ran as fast as he could towards the house. And crashed right into the family Astromech Droid.
"R5?! Where you spying on me or something?"
The little R5-D4 Astromech responded with a series of beeps and whistles.
"Wait, aren't you meant to be working on the Speeder Bike R5?
R5 clicked and beeped as he grumpily rolled back to where he was meant to be.
"Ryo! I said dinner's ready!"
"Yep! Coming Papa!"
Ryo hurried inside and took off his shoes and makeshift pilot's helmet. Ryo's father, mother and protocol Droid sat down at the table.
"Remind me why the Droid sits with us?" Ryo asked.
"He's a part of the family as well, he may not be able to EAT the food but he can still sit down with us and enjoy family time."
"Okay then, and now you can tell me why The First Order is sending you Holo messages!" Ryo shouted at his father accusingly.
"Von? Is this true?" Ryo's mother asked, looking up from her food and cup of blue milk.
"Hey Li, I think we need to go and have a little chat." Ryo's father responded, the two got up and quietly left the room leaving Ryo with the family Protocol droid.
Oh, I'm sure it's nothing master Ryo." The droid said with his usual cheerful voice…
The next day…
Ryo walked out to the Speeder Bike still wondering what had happened the night before, he had been up all night thinking about it, his parents had never acted like that before and it felt weird. R5 rolled out in front of Ryo.
"Did you finish working on the bike R5?" the little droid beeped happily in response.
"Okay, thanks bud. I better get to town." Ryo jumped on the bike, started it up and instantly whizzed off into the distance...
