CHAPTER TWO: DAY ONE ON THE FALCON…

Hey, Meg here. Welcome to day one on the Millennium Falcon.

LUKE SKYWALKER JUST TESTED MY BEST FRIENDS, OUR BOYFRIENDS, MY MUSICAL HEROES, AND MY DANCE TEACHER AND WE ARE ALL FORCE SENSITIVE! I THINK I AM GOING TO DIE.

And Carl and Maureen. They're Force sensitive too.

MAUREEN FREAKING JOHNSON IS FORCE SENSITIVE. MAUREEN!

Anyway, after we all were tested Leia decided that we all can't sleep at the same time because they only have two four-bed cabins and a captain's cabin. But Chewbacca sleeps in one and snores so they really only have ONE four-bed cabin. So she's devising a sleeping schedule.

She just told me that we are to be in "shifts" and that SHIFT ONE™ will be able to sleep nine at night to nine in the morning and SHIFT TWO™ will be able to sleep nine in the morning to nine at night. That would be weird, but every one is half asleep anyway. Taylor's leaning ageist one shoulder, asleep, and Summer's feet are in my lap because she is asleep on the bench I'm on with her head in Carl's lap. Carl is trying to help Leia come up with the sleeping plan. Here's what they have so far:

SLEEPING SHIFT ONE™:

*Han

*Leia

*Meg

*Lane

*Brandi

*Brad

*Elphaba

*Maureen

SLEEPING SHIFT TWO™:

*Luke

*Amelia

*Fiyero

*Taylor

*Summer

*Carl

*Michael

*Chewbacca

Fiyero just came in and asked if Leia could please, please, PLEEEAAASSSEEE switch him and me so that he could be on the same shift as Elphaba. Oh all right, Fiyero, but you TOTALLY owe me. Now the shifts go like this:

SLEEPING SHIFT ONE™: (Updated)

*Han

*Leia

*Fiyero

*Lane

*Brandi

*Brad

*Elphaba

*Maureen

SLEEPING SHIFT TWO™: (Updated)

*Luke

*Amelia

*Meg

*Taylor

*Summer

*Carl

*Michael

*Chewbacca

Han and Leia are taking the captain's cabin when they're sleeping and Leia just told Carl that he and Summer can use it when Summer and Carl sleep.

…

Every once and a while, Carl's hand drops from the table to stroke Summer's hair.

…

I just pointed out that couldn't SOME people sleep in Chewbacca's cabin when he's up? Yes, Leia tells me, they could, good idea. Taylor sits up, awake again.

"What time is it?" she asks.

"One A.M., Corustcant time," Leia says. But it's hard to tell, since we're in space, everything is dark.

"Three A.M. our time," I tell her, looking at the computer's clock.

"Oh, where's Michael?"

"Passed out in the cockpit."

"Hmm… maybe I'll join him."

"Yeah, 'kay."

Fiyero sits down where Taylor had been. I tell him he can't sleep there. He says he knows and he just go up, he was napping in the cargo hold with Fae.

"You were in the cargo hold?" Leia asks.

"Yeah. The tall, furry thing let us in," Fiyero replies.

"Chewbacca," Leia, Carl, and I correct.

"What I said."

"Where are we going?" I just asked.

"To a Star Destroyer on the outer rim called The Jedi's Angel," Leia tells me.

"Why?"

"Family meeting."

"But Luke's here!"

"With his father."

"What? VADER?" I cry waking Summer up a bit.

"Yes, although he prefers to be called Anakin," Leia says crossly.

"Wha-?" Summer says groggily sitting up.

Carl puts an arm around her shoulders, "But is he still, you know, in the suit? And evil?"

"No, Luke-" she paused before continuing, "And I used the Force to restore him to his original state. He looks very different now."

"Like Hayden Christensen," Summer just mumbled.

"Babooshka." I giggle.

Taylor was walking out of the cockpit when I said this and she is now laughing, "Hayden Babooshka!"

"BABOOSHKA!" Fiyero is now singing crazily.

Han Solo just walked in. (Every time he walks in I swear I'm going to pass out. I've had a total crush on him since I was like 13. That's three years! Fangirling much?) He's asking Leia if he can go to bed now. She says yes, because they can sleep until nine tomorrow morning. Good, Han is saying now. Leia is telling us that she's going to go to bed now, and she'll tell the others that can go to bed to go to bed.

"Is that me?" Fiyero asks yawning.

"Yes," I tell him, "Elphaba too. And Maureen-"

"She's weird," he interrupted me.

"Yeah, you'll get used to it. So Maureen and Brandi and Brad and Lane. They can go to bed too."

Fiyero leaves to find Elphaba, Taylor sits down next to me again and Summer basically crawls into Carl's lap and falls back asleep.

"So…" Taylor just said.

"So…" I respond.

"This is weird…"

"I think I'm going to die."

"It's amazing."

"Space. The Millennium Falcon. Luke Skywalker."

"You said my name?" Luke just walked in.

"Yeah," I say, "It's cool being here. You guys are like, heroes where we come from."

Carl is giving me a look.

"Well close enough," I tell him.

"Oh thanks, it's no big, really…" Luke said as he sat down, "It's amazing that you guys are all Force sensitive!"

"Yeah!" Taylor agrees, "So we're going to see your dad?"

"Yes, he called a family meeting. Leia was less than happy about this. She hasn't quiet forgiven him yet."

"What? Why?" Taylor says.

"Because he destroyed her home planet! And he murdered so many people and killed the younglings and killed… you-know-who," I just burst out.

"You-know-who?" Both Taylor and Luke are asking me.

"You know… Natalie Portman," I'm saying in a stage whisper.

"Oh. Right. That sucks," Taylor agreed.

"Some one killed Natalie Portman?" Summer's now asking sleepily.

"Who's Natalie Portman?" Luke wants to know.

"Darth Vader killed 'Natalie Portman'" I explain to Summer.

"Oh, right, yeah…" she nods.

"WHO'S NATALIE PORTMAN?"

"So if we're, you know, in space with these people," Carl's saying, gesturing to Luke, "Does that mean that that Fiyero guy and Elphaba are, you know, fictional too?"

"Yep. Maureen too!" I tell him.

"What do you mean 'fictional too'?" Luke's asking.

"Oh nothing!" Taylor answers.

I nod too, "Just an expiration!"

"So weird…" Summer whispers to Carl. (In case you're wondering, every one is sitting at a round table in the galley. On the booth-like-bench-like-chair, it goes: Luke, Taylor, Me, Summer on Carl's lap, Carl.)

Luke says the bunks in the cabins are big enough to fit two people so maybe me and Taylor can take one, and him and Michael can take one and Amelia can have the other since Summer and Carl are in the captain's cabin. I told him that sounds good and Taylor's making a face like SHE wanted to bunk with Michael but- HEY! Askjidfel77777khfsiodg!&*#%*

Taylor here. That's not why I made a face, in fact I was not making a face, I'm just tired and was tying not to yawn. So there Meg. Here's the computer back.

Meg again. Okay whatever. Sorry. Just don't poke me in the stomach. It HURTS.

Yes it does Taylor.

YES, it does.

It does.

Uh-hu.

*Sticks tongue out.*

Summer just leaned over and read what I was typing. She says we're funny. Now Michael is coming out of the cockpit, yawning.

"Hey," he is saying.

"Hey," Taylor says. He kisses her on the cheek.

"Aw! Young love!" Summer giggles, and Carl gives her a looooong kiss on the lips.

"Ew," Michael moans in reference to Carl and Summer's make out session.

Luke, Taylor and I laugh.

"Want some dinner?" Luke asks when the Jacobsons were done, "Or lunch, I guess… do you want food?"

"Sure! I'll help you!" I said.

So long for now, dear computer. I must assist a Jedi Knight make dinner! Or is it lunch?

Hello! Fiyero here! It's officially Nine A.M. Corustcant time (whatever that means). We jut traded sleeping spaces. Luke and Michael took the bed Fae and me were sharing, Taylor and Meg took Brandi's bed and Amelia took Maureen's bed. No one's sleeping in Lane's bed or Brad's bed because they were sleeping in THE BIG TALL FURRY THING's room. And Summer and Carl are in Han and Leia's room.

THE BIG TALL FURRY THING just asked me if I wanted some breakfast, Han Solo has informed me. Oh, yes I want some please, I tell THE BIG TALL FURRY THING. (THE BIG TALL FURRY THING is actually on the other sleeping shift, but he's making breakfast before he goes to bed.)

"Where are we going?" Elphaba asks Leia who apparently is a princess even though she doesn't look/act like one.

"To the Star Destroyer The Jedi's Angel," Leia says, "for a family meeting."

"Who's family?"

"Luke's father."

"But I thought you said Luke was your brother."

"Yes."

"So isn't it both you and Luke's father?"

"No."

"Ah."

"She doesn't like her dad either," I tell Leia. Elphaba whacks me and Han laughs. Leia simply raises one eyebrow (How does she do that? I have tried for HOURS to raise ONE eyebrow and every time, EVERY TIME, both of them come up! How does she DO THAT?) and gave me a small smile.

Brandi just walked in and said hey. Hey back! She's giving me a look. Nah nah, you can't get- OW!

"Did you have to hit me?" I asked Brandi.

"Yes, You were being weird." she said, Elphaba, Leia, and Han are laughing now. Nah.

"Good morning!" Brad says walking in, Lane and Maureen (WHO IS WEIRD AND LOOKS JUST LIKE ELPHABA) are behind him.

"'Morning," Maureen says flirtily to Han who doesn't give her a second look. Leia, on the other hand, does give her a second look and it's The Infamous Glare Of Death™.

No I want to keep it! C'mon, Fae, PLEEAAASSSEE? Please? Plea-

Hello, this is Elphaba Thropp because I just KNEW that Fiyero was going to go on and on about his Infamous Glare Of Death™ that he swears by or something. Here's what's happening right now: Chewbacca (a species called a "Wookie") is making breakfast, Maureen Johnson-

"Who is annoying and weird," Fiyero just whispered.

Yes, Maureen-who-is-annoyingly-weird-Johnson is flirting with both Han and Lane, Leia is typing on a high tech computer of sorts (called "Datapad"), and Brandi and Brad are whispering sweet nothings in one another's ears. The rest are asleep.

Oh, alright, Yero, you can have the computer back now.

THANK YOU. Yo, Yero here. Did you know the milk is BLUE here? Yes BLUE! I've always liked blue, especially blue diamonds. I wonder what Princess Leia is typing….

FROM THE DATAPAD OF LEIA ORGANA:

There has been a turn of events since I last wrote. We have picked up twelve people who some how landed on the roof of the Falcon. Yes, really. And as it turns out, they are all Force sensitive. ALL OF THEM.

Luke is beside himself with joy.

Han is beside himself, but for a different reason, and he told me as much last night when we went to bed.

"I don't like carting all these people around on my ship," he said as we lay in bed.

"I know," I replied quietly, "But it's for Luke, really."

"Hmmpph."

"Are we on course for The Jedi's Angel?"

"Yeah."

"I wish we didn't have to go. Especially now, with all these Force sensitives."

"The kids got his heart sent on it."

"Han-"

"Leia-"

"WHAT?" we said simultaneously.

"I can't forgive him. Not yet. Not now."

"I know sweetheart," he said pulling me close. We soon after fell asleep.

Millennium Falcon's Ship's log: Day 13, Month 7, Year 12874

Okay, so not all the weirdoes are that weird. The girl, Brandi, isn't weird. She and her boyfriend we're interested in how the ship worked and what planets there were and how long it was going to take us to get there. Kinda annoying, but not weird.

That Fiyero guy is weird though. He sings ALL THE TIME, and it is SO ANNOYING. "Just ignore him," Leia says.

I also don't like people sleeping in MY room. "It's just until we get there," Leia says, "And it's not that bad, Carl and Summer seem like nice people." All bet that's what they said about Admiral Tarkin when he was young too.

"Oh, that boy Tarkin! He seems like a nice person!"
