Nayr bolted upright in her bed, breathing heavily. She groaned, and lay back down on her pillow, the same nightmare kept returning. She pulled the covers up to her chin, groaned again, and pulled them over her head.

Mirrewell, Nayr's Wookiee friend, stirred.

"Nayr? What's wrong?" Mirr grunted, and sat up as her friend climbed out of bed. Nayr put a hand on her forehead as her hair slithered out of the bed to fall over her back and shoulders.

"Not feeling well?" The Wookiee remarked, stretching, then yawning.

"No, it's that nightmare again Mirr."

Mirr frowned as she folded the blanket on the bed, and searched around for her blaster.

Nayr combed out her hair, and twisted it up on her head, almost like a crown. A few stray pieces of orange hair dangled down below her shoulders. The young rebel looked to her left, and pulled on the cloak of her father's murder, along with her hip holster.

"You really must concentrate on other things Nayr." The young Wookiee remarked slipping her blaster into her holster, and standing patiently for her friend to finish dressing.

Nayr slipped a blaster into her hidden holster on her leg, and another in the remaining one. She turned to her friend and nodded.

"Let's just get off this rock." She smiled, and Mirr returned the smile with a delighted nod.

Neither of the girls wanted to stay on Alderaan any longer, they were both being transported to Naboo today, and didn't want to miss the flight.



"Last call for Naboo! Last call!" The loud, booming echo-of-a-voice of the announcer droid greeted Nayr and Mirr as they entered the docking bay.

"WOAH! WAIT! We're on that flight too!" Nayr shouted loudly as she and Mirr dashed up the ramp onto the ship.

"No running in the bay please.. thank you." A droid said in its droning tone.

"Yeah, yeah." Nayr said sarcastically, bowing to the droid as she slowed her pace and ascended the ramp.

As the two settled into the remaining seats in the back of the ship, a loud, un-emotional voice began giving instructions.

"Please remove all weapons and place them in the holding compartment over head. Please connect your restraining garments, and have a nice trip."

Nayr nodded sarcastically.

"Nayr? Your not taking off your blasters?" The Wookiee pointed out as she started to remove her blaster.

"No." Nayr said, leaning back into her chair, and folding her hands behind her head. "I'm not."

Mirr gave her friend an odd look, and put her own blaster back. Smiling, she too leaned into her chair. Since the two were in the back, they didn't have to worry about the people behind them. Not that they would have anyway.



The trip was long, and bumpy. But the two rebels didn't mind at all, as long as they were off that rock of a planet they were happy.

Nayr and Mirr were the first off the ship, not caring what the other passengers would have wanted. Nayr and Mirr pushed past them, racing to see who would set foot on the new planet first. The girls, at only thirteen, were very excited and couldn't wait to start living on the new planet. Both girls were escorted to Theed with a guide, they soon took off in their own direction to find a place to stay.

They soon found a room in an apartment complex. Unpacking their things, the girls decided to have a look around their new home, without the help of a guide.

Putting together all the money they had earned, they had just enough to buy a landspeeder, and took off down the busy streets of Theed, supposedly the biggest city on Naboo.

And it was.

It took them four hours to get around the entire city, plus stops of course. They soon found work, Nayr as a weaponry assistant for the palace, and Mirr an engineer in the palace hanger. Considering themselves lucky, they celebrated that night at a casino, the biggest casino in Theed.

As the girls talked about their new jobs, and their new home, a stranger on the other side of the casino took interest in them.

Bathed in her dark cloak, Redav watched the two newcomers. Her master would be pleased with her if she could find information on these two. She had already uncovered names, Nayr-Isabuea Solo and Mirrewell. As well as the job titles they now held. Both of them now worked at the palace. The human girl with weapons, and the Wookiee female in engineering.

Something was bothering the Sith though, something about this girl, Nayr, it reminded her of her sister, Centara.

She blinked under her cloak as one of the Jedi from around Theed wondered into the casino. She gave a slight groan, and headed out of the casino, her long cloak trailing behind her like a dog on a scent
