The Clone and the Jedi
Chapter 3: Moving on
Repairs were complete.
Nines was now fully operational, and committed to helping our two heroes.

And with Nines helping them, Chara and Stitch were able to get many different supplies from the droid camp.
They also gathered a plethora of different things to make food with from the surrounding jungle.
It took nearly 3 hours, but they made it.
It was surprising that they didn't have to fight their way out. After all, Order 66 may have been issued, but the droids were still enemies, present company excluded.
They immediately ran back to camp, gathered everything together, leaving a small pack for Rico if he got back to camp, got onto the ship, and flew off the planet, The 3 of them.
And it was now on their ship, that Chara and Stitch finally had time to talk about this whole thing.
Stitch, "so…."
Chara, "so…."
Nines, "so…."
They looked at Nines.
Nines, "Oh, sorry, go ahead."
Stitch, "Do you think any other Jedi are still alive?"
Chara thought for a moment, the pain still lingering, but finally said, "I sense only a few left. Strong ones. Master Yoda perhaps. And I also sense Obi Wan Kenobi. Those are the only 2 I can sense right now, as I sense 2 other beings of the force. Dark ones. A Sith Lord, and his apprentice."
Stitch, "maybe there's more on the holo-news?"
Chara, "I think we should check."
Once they switched on the screen, they saw the horrors of Order 66.
They saw the Jedi temple in smoke and flames.
They saw the Chancellor, now calling himself, Emperor, was disfigured.
And they saw the Sith apprentice.
Darth Vader.
A very skilled warrior, who was leading the 501st, slicing through others with a red lightsaber, a common color for a Siths weapon.
Stitch, "Makes me sick. They guys YOU spent time looking for, are now leading my brothers to kill so many people we trusted and protected."
Chara, "Yes. It indeed saddens me. The only comfort I have now is that some Jedi and clones are not affected, and you 2 as my only companions now."
Stitch, "You don't have to worry Chara. Me and the droid have got your back!"
Nines, "Indeed. You have saved me from destruction, and for that, I'm eternally grateful.."
This helped ease Chara's mind, as she was glad she had these 2 for the road ahead of them.
But she was tired, and checked the time. It would've been nighttime on Chorasaunt. So she made her way to her quarters on the ship.
A standard issue bed, with plain white sheets, and a comfy enough pillow to greet her.
Once she was sitting on her bed, she noticed Stitch walk into the room.
"Oh, Stitch, I'm sorry, I forgot I'm the only one with quarters on this ship."
"It's fine", he said, "what do you think we should do?"
She replied, "I suppose we could share the bed tonight? A- at least until we get another bed, which mayt- take some time but-"
Chara just stopped, flustered more than she's ever been. She looked at Stitch for any feedback.
Stitch nodded his head, his blush showing now that his mask was removed.
"We'll get another bed eventually. But for now, sharing works fine."
Chara was relieved, but also kind of excited at the prospect.
Stitch sat on the bed next to her, removing the rest of his armor until he was in nothing but a pair of republic issue shorts.
Chara had to look away the whole time as not to blush, not realizing that Stitch was also blushing from how she removed her robes, and slipping on a pair of baggy pajamas she had gotten as a birthday present last year. Luckily, she wore plain white underwear and a bra underneath, so it wasn't extra revealing when she slipped on the clothes.
Now that they were ready, they yelled for Nines to put the ship on Auto-pilot.
He complied, and set the ship on a course for, well, pretty much nowhere.
They both layed down on the bed, Chara under the covers on her side, while Stitch was on his back above the covers.
Both still kept their emotions in check, as they were too tired to admit any feelings for one another, even in a galaxy where it wasn't the most absurd thing to happen.
But there was one thing Stitch COULD do though.
Before they fell asleep, Stitch left a small kiss on Chara's cheek, making her blush before both of them drifted off to sleep.
