Thank you all for the follows, favs, and reviews! You guys are the best!
Heheh…*sigh* Sorry for the long wait for an update. Also, It's the end of the school year for me, so I have a lot of essays due and that means that updates might be one every week or so. Or I might need a break because I absolutely hate what I have to type for school and therefore you all could be getting an update every other day. Any who, Enjoy~!
Also, I do not own Star Wars Rebels.
Chapter 3: Long ride, Longer explanation
Afters sitting down in my seat, I put on my seat belt and watch Sabine do the same after taking out her phone and earbuds. She had only put one earbud in her right ear, leaving the other dangling. "All the boxes are secured, right Spectre 5?" I ask while pulling out the car and proceeding down the road.
"Yup," she says, not looking up at me but rather at her screen. My guess, looking for something to listen to. Eventually, she must have found something cause she sets her phone down and looks out the windshield before turning to look at the kid. I mimic her and look back at the boy now known to us by the name of 'Ezra'. I notice his messy raven-ish blue hair and dirty backpack sitting next to him. 'Since when did he have that? I must not have noticed it.'
I also notice that he's not wearing his seatbelt. "Kid, put on your seatbelt," I tell him. Sabine hears me and turns to look at him again.
"Why?" He asks, a smug look on his face.
"Do you really need a reason 'why'?" I say with a sigh. "Come on, before we get on the highway."
I look through mirror and see him roll his eyes. "Look kid, don't make me come back there and buckle you in myself," I say, turning to drive up the ramp that leads to the freeway that will take us home.
"Yeah, kid. He'll do it," Sabine chimes in, shaking her head, probably remembering the couple of times I had to do it to her. "Plus it's illegal and I don't think we need or want more trouble with the police."
A quick couple of seconds later I hear the click of a seatbelt being buckled. 'Of course.' Sabine turns back around, facing forward. She looks over at me and says, "Wow. So was it nice getting to see your 'old pal' Kallus?"
I look over at her with a disgusted look. "What do you think? Hell no!" I say before slapping my hand over my mouth. I'm not really supposed to be cursing in front of the kids. I look over at her before saying, "Please don't tell Hera."
She just chuckles and looks back out the window before muttering, "I will."
I roll my eyes and ask her, "So how was your visit with Kallus?"
"Heh," she chuckles. "It was so wonderful. I'm sure he misses my artwork at the academy ," she says sarcastically.
"Yeah except your 'artwork' involved destroying half of the academy," I point out. "Plus, that's why we have you now."
She grunts and props her feet up on the dash. I look over at her before shooing her feet off. "Come on, Sabine. Hera will be mad if we mess up her car," I say sternly. She groans before reluctantly pulling her feet down.
"How much longer?" She says, flicking her bangs out of her face.
"Mm. You tell me," I say, turning on the ramp that would lead us home. "About 10 minutes."
I hear her mutter "okay" as she turns to look out the window. I look back at Ezra and see him staring out the window lazily, his head propped up by his hand.
I turned onto our street, a quiet lane filled with fairly large houses that were nicely spaced apart. I look back at the kid and notice him to be a bit more attentive. I pull into our driveway and stop in front of the garage. Sabine unbuckles her seat belt and gets out quickly. "Come on, kid," I say as I get out of the car. Sabine and I walk up to the door, leaving the kid to follow us. I unlock the door and call into the house, "Hera! We're home!"
So this was a lot shorter than I wanted but I didn't want to leave you guys without an update. Hope you enjoyed!
May the force be with you!
