Hello everyone! When I submitted this yesterday (May 4th) it did not notify my awesome followers…unhappy face. So I am resubmitting this and hopefully I can have a happy face. This is what was supposed to read on May 4th, I guess the force wasn't with me:

Happy May 4th Everyone! Thanks for all the comments on the tiny chapter from yesterday, I always love to see what you think. May the 4th be with you…and also with Luanna Landrunner!

Luanna Landrunner's mouth is full of dust. She knows its dust because she tastes the nuttiness of nothing. She still spits it out.

"Dee Da Doop Dah," droid H2 sings as it leads the pack, it's wheels the culprit spewing the nothingness everywhere. When Luanna means leading the pack, she is referring to herself and the green tinted droid. It's not much of a pack, especially with the green tinted droid complaining the entire way, heck it would not even scare a baby motorcycle gang.

But at least it's something.

"Not much farther?" Luanna asks down to the tiny maintenance droid. Luanna knows the name Fan Khlobe; she's heard it whispered in the market every Sunday. But she has never seen this mysterious Fan Khlobe and thus has no idea where Fan Khlobe spends her time. The droid H2 with a location sensor is the only one able to track the household of the planet's mysterious spinster.

"Dee Doop," H2's bright yellow light blinks in agreement. Or maybe disagreement? Luanna does not speak maintenance droid as well as she would like. She glances over at the human-like droid, B-5DO, and raises an eyebrow.

The droid sighs, "really? Is my only real use to you a translator for the maintenance droid?"

"Dee Doop!"

"Shut up!" B-5DO lifts her arms up over her head. Luanna laughs along with H2.

The laughter doesn't last long.

Luanna tumbles onto the ground, a spray of sand billows around her and a pound of dust collapse into her eyes. She closes them instantly, but not instantly enough, her eyes burn and her vision darkens. She screams as more sand thrashes into her mouth, this time the dust tasting like perfumed pain.

"Hey what the-" Luanna shouts the pain out; as she feels a rope wrap around her ankles and a thick cloth blind her eyes.

"This is uncalled for! Do you know who I am?!" B-5DO's voice is to the left of Luanna, she thought B-5DO was behind her. She twists in the sand.

"De De Da Doo!" H2 blares.

Luanna kicks in the air, hoping to get her attacker, but instead feels a thick pair of hands grab onto her legs; they push her down, deeper into the sand. She claws out in the dark, as her arms are forced behind her back. Luanna thrashes around, trying to hit anything she can. She hears the yelp of her attackers as one of her hands punches something, but her head gets forced back into the sand of pain.

Luanna didn't think this would happen. She would have planned, been more aware of her surroundings. As the attackers tighten ropes around her arms Luanna Landrunner can't help but feel a devastating defeat.

That feeling doesn't last long.

A scream rips in her ears. Luanna throws her head back as another scream comes from an attacker to her left.

The force on her arms lessens; Luanna hears a thud of a weight against a rock. She kicks her legs freely from the rope. Luanna pushes herself up and rips the cloth out of her eyes. She opens them and squints, the light and dust in the air burning. Her eyes water but she doesn't notice. Luanna is too busy noticing the old woman.

The old woman whose kicking some ass.

The old woman in a long dark robe stands in the middle of their fight. Luanna sees the Sandwomen attackers circling her. Their tan figures not worried about Luanna's useless pack, instead, the group of five women sprints towards the old woman.

The old woman turns her back to them.

"Watch out-" Luanna finds herself yelling, only to stop with her mouth open. The old woman agilely flips in the air, flying up a few feet and landing like a pillow down in the sand. She points her arm out at a Sandwoman. The Sandwoman shrieks and falls to her knees, the attacker lifts into the air and hurtles towards a rock, crashing to the ground. Another Sandwoman is propelled up into the air and crashes into the large vehicle off to the right. The sound of the body against metal echoes through the valley with a combustion of flames licking the sky.

Luanna should close her mouth, the dust settling in like a long overdue vacation. But she can't, the next thing she knows, the old woman's hands erupt in a bright light. Luanna forgets to breathe as the old woman swings the light in the air and slices a Sandwoman. The Sandwoman voice curls in the air as blood pools out of her stomach. The bloody Sandwoman plummets. The old woman turns to another attacker.

The attacker pauses.

The old woman smiles as she twirls the light sword in the air. The Sandwoman gives a shout of alarm and immediately sprints away. The tiny sound of feet through sand vanishes as the fire burns away.

The old woman laughs and the light in her palm vanishes as quickly as it appeared.

Luanna closes her mouth, the taste of dust now disbelief.

That's a lightsaber.

A rush of energy blows through Luanna's frozen body and she rushes over towards the other droids, ripping the nets tied around them.

"Took you long enough!" B-5DO angrily wails in her ear. Luanna should have left B-5DO tied and bound, but she wasn't thinking. She turns and stops. Luanna is too busy thinking about their-

"That was quite fun wasn't it?" the old woman's face pops into Luanna's. Luanna stumbles back into the sand, she catches herself and stares up at the old woman. Old as in wrinkled, not weak, Luanna shakes her head, this woman is anything but weak.

"Ahhhh….ummmm...thank you," Luanna finds her voice at the last possible moment.

The old woman smiles back. Her thick braided gray hair falls around her shoulders and her green eyes shine with life. She isn't breathing hard, nor is their sweat on her forehead. Luanna suddenly feels embarrassed; she hears her breath come in and out like a dying pig, and the perspiration on her head clinging to the sand everywhere else. This woman is more fit than her.

"Not a problem," the old woman smile's cracks open, her teeth white and clean. "What brings a strange pack like yourselves out to this dangerous and thief-ridden part of the planet?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" B-5DO huffs and crosses her arms.

"Ignore her," Luanna apologizes, she glares at B-5DO the droid only grumps back. She tries to tell B-5DO with her eyebrows that this woman did just save them. But the annoying droid only rolls her eyes.

"I don't really need to know who you are...but I did just save your shiny ass," the old woman's smile is still shining whiter than bleached sand.

"Ummm we were looking for the planet's spinster, Fan Khlobe," Luanna beings to rush, she does not want this lightsaber owner of a woman to get mad at them, "Would you happen to know where-"

"I'm Fan Khlobe, but just call me Fan," the woman laughs, "and not a spinster. I choose not to marry or have a family. So whatever anyone has told you about me, forget it!" The woman flings her hand in the air like she is shaking all the haters off.

"Oh," Luanna feels her cheeks redden, she shifts her feet from left to right, "honestly no one has really told me about you. I just assumed-"

"If you assume what every man tells you, you're just an ass. My advice, don't be an ass," Fan doesn't smile this time; instead, her green eyes stare behind Luanna. Way behind her shoulder. The old agile woman's voice pauses.

Luanna follows her gaze.

"You're not royal or extremely rich are you?" Fan's low voice asks.

"No…" Luanna stares at H2.

"Then tell me, where did you get that specific…very expensive model of maintenance droid?" Fan points to H2.

"Dee Da Doo!" the droid happily sings back, swirling in the sand.

"You stole it!" Fan's green eyes stare back at Luanna. Luanna bores holes into the maintenance droid, she has no idea what the droid just said, but from the look on Fan's face.

It was not good.

"My aunt traded for it! Legally!" Luanna quickly replies just as B-5DO sulks again.

Fan's cracked lips stretch into a straight line, "I don't believe you." All evidence of her laughing and bright sand smile gone.

"No, but I was just-"

"Save it," Fan holds up her hand, Luanna winches, expecting to be thrown into the air like a Sandwoman.

Luanna stays on the ground. She opens her mouth and adds, "Please the hologram message in the droid said to find-"

"I think you need to come with me," Fan interrupts with a monotone manner.

"No, but I think you are just mistaken-"

"Now!" Fan yells as the brilliant sound of her lightsaber erupts out. The bright green light of the sword lit in her hand is almost the color of her vivid eyes. Her eyes when she was laughing. Not now, her eyes are a cold green. If green could look cold.

Luanna glances around at the Sandwomen's bodies skewed around the ground, she peers at H2 still happily circling and B-5DO enjoying this more than she should, Luanna doesn't really have a choice. When a crazy not-spinster with a light saber tells you to follow, you can't say no.

Luanna Landrunner stares at the cold green eyes of Fan, a shade darker than the light saber bending in her hands.

Luanna drops her head and nods.

Too bad, because if Luanna was looking up, she would have seen Fan blink.

Hey let me know what you think for next time. I don't know if I should jump over to a chapter with Prince Leo or stay with Luanna for the next, any ideas?
