~HAI!!!! here's chapter 3! Sorry for not updating in so long! I got a new laptop, so I was busy checking all the new features. Plus, my sister's birthday slumber party was on the 18th of June, so I was at that. and I'm going on vacation next week...so I may not be here for a bit so I can spend time with my family at my cousin's wedding...who my siblings don't remember all to well...So my schedule's pretty hectic. And there were fireworks last night.
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING, except good old Sarai Skywalker and Jeffro Kelgar. And the Captain and Pilot. And Leia's best friend Lulu to.
CHAPTER 3
Salva Angel
Sarai continued to concentrate on the lightsaber in her quarters, imagining it in her hands...using the force....
And then it flew into her hands! Oh how happy she was!
"Gotcha!" She cried happily. Finally got that trick down! She thought happily.
"And it only took me...." She looked at her clock. "....a whole hour?! Just to do that five times?!"
No matter...Sarai assured herself, Just means I'm closer to Tatooine! Yeah, Tatooine....
Then Sarai thought she heard the faintest of whispers...ever so faint...
Hah! Tatooine? Its just a dust ball on the outer rim!
"Who's there!?" Sarai yelled, looking around franticly with her lightsaber at hand. After a minute, she slapped herself lightly on the head. "Duh, I'm in hyperspace!"
Sarai calmly got up and went over to check the control settings, that were in perfect order as is.
"Half an hour...." She whispered, running her fingers along the controls with a smile. Had to teach myself to fly. but there was an instruction manual....
Sarai sat down on her seat and meditated for a half hour until she got out of hyperspace. She saw the planet Tatooine in plain view.
"Tatooine..." She said in slight awe. It looks weird at the most part, and an unusual red-orange color....but at the same time where dad grew up and met mom....
"Jeffro, here I come!" She shouted happily, steering the Salva Angel onto the surface of Tatooine's atmosphere, as the black starry sky changed to a blue cloudless sky as she flew over the almost barren desert planet.
She flew over the sand ridden planet, looking for her friend. He never said anywhere specific....
Though..Sarai continued, He did say cave...So I'll check out the less civilian-ized areas....
So Sarai flew for a bit, then found a tall, jet black haired, late-teenage boy standing in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere, except for what looked like smoke coming from a canyon like cave behind him.
Sarai smiled. "O' Jeffro, crashed ag'in?" She mimicked, trying to do Jeffro's accent. "You big goof..."
The Skywalker youth steered the Salva Angel down a few yards from the boy, who happened to see this and wave as he ran towards the ship.
As the door opened, She grabbed her lightsaber and ran out happily. Right as she got out of her starship, she was met by a fierce hug from Jeffro.
"SARAI!!" He cried happily.
"Jeffro!" Sarai said happily as well, hugging back and, after a few minutes, they let go. "It's so good to see you again! How long has it been?"
"'Bout two mont's." Jeffro said with a goofy smile.
"Really? It felt like longer, my dear old best friend!" She said, playfully punching his arm.
"Meh, Like it matters now. At least we're 'ere toget'a!" Jeffro said, patting her on the shoulder.
"So.........Where's the Retro Mac 5?" Sarai asked, already knowing the answer that the Retro Mac 5, Jeffro's starship, had probably been damaged or lost.
"I......erm.....crashed 'er....." Jeffro said, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"Knew It. Why else would there have been smoke over there?" Sarai said, nudging her head in the direction of the smoke.
"Oi.....righ'....That gives it away to'ally..." Jeffro said obliviously, staring in the direction of his crashed ship in the distance with Sarai.
"So where's those crystals you were talking about?" Sarai asked, getting back on the subject of why she came.
"In the cave. See? Entrance is righ' ov'r there." Jeffro said, pointing to a giant crack in the rock wall a little ways back. "C'mon, I's really dark in there, so you should bring your ligh'saber thing."
"Fine by me-" Sarai said, but was cut off when she felt something...or someone...coming there way.... and the force signature was undeniably familiar...
"Sarai? Yoo-hoo! Sarai' ol' friend?" Jeffro said, waving his hand in front of her face. "Sarai in there? Sarai?"
"Oh-What?" Sarai said, turning her head franticly in Jeffro's direction.
"You spaced ou' there....somthin' wrong?" Jeffro asked. Sarai shook her head.
"No, nothings wrong." She assured her friend, but then whispered, "Could've sworn I sensed something though....." or someone.
"Le's go in tha cave then, or my marks on tha walls'll be gone once we get inside..." Jeffro trailed off. Sarai turned around again, but this time to make sure the Salva Angel's door was closed-which it was-and then chased off after her speeding friend.
"My goodness you've gotten faster Jeffro!" Sarai said as she caught up with him.
"I exc'rsize." Jeffro said, putting his hands behind his head as he began to slow down with Sarai and enjoy the walk...sort of...
"Yeah, right. And I'm the daughter of the Emperor." She said, and they laughed together. Little did she know how close that she was to saying Darth Vader instead of Emperor, who she had no idea was her father and just thought he was a creepy old guy who killed the Jedi. Sarai so wanted to kill him.
"You ain't creepy enough." Jeffro responded. "You go'ta get a bit creepier, maybe some wrinkul's, but you definitely are ev'l enough."
Sarai's eyes widened. "Yeah right, Sherlock." She said. "To be a Jedi I have to be evil free, and I'm somewhat thankful that my training will pretty much never be completed, so I have no worries about the Empire coming down my trail and taking me to be one of them." she thought about that. "But if I never learned to hide my force signature from them I'd probably be Empire-meat..."
"Eh...whot?" Jeffro said, not understanding a single word she had said due to the speed of it all.
"Just leave it." Sarai said, as that funny feeling of someone being there went away. They finally got to the cave entrance as Jeffro led her inside (after trying to pull the 'ladies first' ordeal).
"So which way was it?" Sarai asked, turning her lightsaber on and holding it a great deal away from the clumsy Jeffro.
"I mark'd tha walls, so somethin' green'll lead tha way ta the old thing, an' my crash'd ship." Jeffro responded, trying to grab the lightsaber from his turned around friend. Sarai saw sensed what he was trying to do through the force, and thwaked his hand away from her lightsaber quickly.
"Darn stupih' force...." He muttered indignantly. "Somethin' gotta be done 'bout tha', before you save ma life."
"Already did that back on Endor." She said, as they began to follow the green marking on the walls. "We were exploring the caves when I sensed something coming, and you thought I was crazy. When a giant hawk bat appeared out of nowhere I pulled you out of the way and shooed it off with my lightsaber so you didn't end up being killed."
"O' yeah....." He replied, then whispered under his breath, "Darn stupih' Hawk bat..."
"Don't worry about it Jeffro." Sarai said, "It's all good. You're still alive, right?"
"Righ'....oi! there i' is!" Jeffro said, pointing to an ancient starship, and a few meters behind it a bit of light flashed down to reveal Jeffro's banged up ship, the Retro Mac 5.
"Jeffro old buddy, that ships really banged up! Are you sure you'll be able to fly her out of here?!" She asked her friend, a bit worried that her friend's transport was utterly unrepairable, in its current state of being.
"I don' think I'd be able to ge' 'er out of 'ere anyways...." Jeffro mumbled loud enough for Sarai to hear. Sarai frowned.
"Well don't worry buddy, you can fly with me 'til we can get you a new ship. Preferably one that would be hard to crash...." Saying the last part to herself, Sarai patted Jeffro on the back with a smile. That starship was like his pride and joy. Actually, it was his pride and joy.
"Aw, thanks Sarai Ol' pal." Jeffro said with a smile. "There are these Upgrad's I'e been dyin' to do for tha Salva Angel anyways...."
At that statement, Sarai went overboard. Not that she didn't think Jeffro was a good mechanic, its just the Salva Angel was her life's work and her home. No way was he touching it.
"NO!" She yelled, causing Jeffro to flinch, but then she regained control over her temper. "No..." She repeated. "Its my ship, so its my rules. And I say only I-" Sarai emphasized the word for her friend. "-can do upgrades and repairs on the Salva Angel."
"O-okay..." Jeffro said, a bit freaked out. "Tha ship's ova 'ere." He said, motioning for his female friend to follow him as he walked towards the ancient, dusty relic that was one a decent space craft.
The door was rusted shut, but somehow Jeffro had managed to open it last time. Before Jeffro could say anything about how to get in, however, Sarai used her lightsaber to quickly cut through the metal that blocked their entrance. Once she cut a decent size hole, she kicked the metal down and it collapsed into the ship, giving it a good sized entry way.
"Um...Sarai...?" Jeffro said, a bit aways from her.
"Yeah?" Sarai asked, panting from the work she just preformed.
"I open'd tha window las' time....We coulda went in through there....." Jeffro said, rubbing the back of his neck.
Sarai went wide eyed, then laughed nervously at the damage she had caused to the old starship.
"Oops..." She said, smiling nervously.
Upon entering the Spacecraft, the two found it to more cramped than they expected it to be, and devoid of most light, except for what seemed to be a screen in the cockpit.
"Tha cap'in's log shou' be 'ere...." Jeffro said, sitting in the dust filled chair. Sarai stood next to him as he pushed some buttons on the nearly twenty-year-old control panel, and a man appeared on the screen. He had dark brown hair that covered his right eye, and a scar on his left. His eyes were hazel, he had barely any emotion on his face, and he spoke as though he were in a trance.
"This is The captain's log of the space vessel the Scavenger, year (insert whatever year it was). I, Captain Roy Tistu, and my pilot Scavin Leto-"
"Yo!" Could be heard, as a blonde, blue eyed, teenager bent over to be seen on the screen. He had a big smile on his face, and wore some red goggles on his forehead, as if they were the latest fad. The captain quickly pushed him out of the way and continued his monologue.
"-as I was saying, I, Captain Roy Tistu and my pilot Scavin Leto have crashed on Tatooine for some unknown reason. Our cargo of Crystals that were to be delivered to Corosaunt is still intact, (no thanks to the clumsy pilot)" The captain muttered under his breath, only to hear a snide remark from the pilot.
"You try flying this hunk a junk!"
Captain Roy just glared at him for a second, then continued. "We were out here because Scavin received a message that was believed to be a distress signal from Tatooine, but now we know it was just a static message that was collected over the years and just now broad-casted. We can only take the crystals we can carry in our packs with us to get a new spacecraft, So the crystals in the back will have to be left here to rot. And if your seeing this, then please don't disturb the crystals. They're more important than you think."
And with that last sentence, Roy had turned the camera off, and static fuzzed in the place of the image.
"So Sarai, What're we gonna do 'bout them Crystals?" Jeffro asked, but when he turned to look at his friend, he discovered she wasn't there, and so he looked around hastily, only to find Sarai raiding the cargo hold for it's crystal supply.
"Man, where are those dang crystals?!" Sarai muttered aloud, throwing random junk that supposedly belonged too the previous crew.
"Girl, you got yer heart set on fine'in' them crystals!" Jeffro thought loudly, causing Sarai to turn around slowly to face him.
"This is possibly the only crystals left in the universe I'd be able to salvage! We don't know where they are otherwise! The dang Empire probably destroyed the Republic's old place for getting these things!" She explained, as though all life depended on finding these crystals.
"Woa, Sarai, take a chill pill, ya know I was on'y kiddin'!" he said, using his hands to signal for her to back off, which she did. She then resumed to looking endlessly for those crystals. "Whadda 'bout these two I found?" He asked, holding the two crystals – one blue, one green – up for his pal to see.
He waited for a response, then heard her respond; "Just...hold them or something!"
After what seemed like eternity, Sarai let out a sigh of relief, then proudly called out; "Found them!"
Jeffro jerked his head over to See Sarai holding about six green and blue colored crystals in her hands, and a smug grin on her face.
"Atta girl!" He said happily. "Now le's get outta 'ere! I's begginin' ta creep me out!" Jeffro called desperately to his friend, already at the hole Sarai had cut before.
"Aw....da big bad Jeffwo afwaid of da big bad dawkness?" Sarai teased, talking like one would talk to a baby. She then got a big grin on her face and began to laugh uncontrollably.
"Shu' it!" Jeffro replied hastily, looking around at the dark room that was lit only by the blue cerulean glow of Sarai's lightsaber and the static from the screen up in the cockpit. "C'mon, I wanna ge' outta 'ere already!"
But Sarai was still laughing her head off, so Jeffro resorted to dragging her out. She let out a small shriek as Jeffro tugged her out by her clothes.
"Hey why'd you do that?!" She demanded, shaking Jeffro's hand off her shoulder.
"We shou'd ge' outta 'ere now, I' cou' be dangerous..." Jeffro said, looking around worriedly. Then he heard the sound of running feet.
"What could be so dangerous about a cave?" Sarai asked, oblivious to the danger they were in now.
"Well..." Jeffro said, walking towards the exit slowly, and looking around cautiously. Right there and then, a couple Sandmen came jumped out into plain view, prepared to trample the two.
"Sand men." Jeffro responded, stepping in front of Sarai, prepared for the oncoming attack.

Alderaan
Leia Organa was laying on her bed, while searching the holonet for something to do, when her holocom started beeping. She answered it, and it appeared to be her best friend, Lulu Maracala.
"Lulu! I'm so glad to hear from you! How's your summer been treating you?" Leia asked her friend, turning to lay on her back.
"Oh, I've been good Lei." Lulu said, using her nickname for Leia. "My Dad said I could come over some time, as long as its okay with your dad. How about say, tommorow?" Lulu asked, and you could basically hear the anxiousness in the girl.
"Lu, My Father's okay with anything." Leia said, turning back to lay on her stomach. If they were using nicknames, Leia would be using her nickname for Lulu as well. "I'm sure you could come over."
"Great! We can do all sorts of stuff together Lei!" Lulu said happily. "Like....go to the park!"
"I thought you wanted to come to my house, Lulu." Leia said, a bit confused of how that had anything to do with coming over to her place.
"Well....I just feel like climbing a tree all of a sudden!" her friend cried. "Pleeeeeeeeeeeease!?" she asked desperately.
"oh, alright. As long as we can go to the mall afterwards and hang out." Leia compromised.
"Booyah!" Lulu cheered. "Thanks Lei! You won't forget it! We'll go to the old tree house and do other stuff to! Like, um....."
"We'll think about it when we get there." Leia said. "Oh, and Lulu...."
"Yeah Lei?" Lulu asked with her usual innocent smile.
"My Mother and Father told me something today....." she trailed off, but Lulu but in.
"Oh no! Don't tell me! They're making bacon flavored bubblegum!!!" Lulu cried dumbly.
"What are you-" Leia began, but was once again interrupted.
"IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!!" Lulu shrieked. "First, they made Bubblegum flavored Bacon, then they made MNM flavored bubblegum! IT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN LEI! BACON FLAVORED BUBBLEGUM! WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO!?!?"
"Oh shush Lu, thats not it." Leia said with a smirk.
"Aw......" Lulu said, her hopes and dreams crushed by that sentence.
"Its something else...." Leia began, and, guess what? SHE WAS INTERUPTED!
"Did they give you 'the talk'?!" Lulu asked in a serious tone.
"Wha-no! Of course not! I'm not sure what that kind of stuff is anyways!" Leia practically yelled.
"Wha? Oooooooooooh! You mean that talk! I wasn't talking about that! I meant the talk that Santa Claus doesn't exist!" Lulu cried, and Leia relaxed. "My parents told me that last year, AND THEY ARE SO NOT GETTING ANY PRESENTS FROM SANTA THIS YEAR!!"
Leia laughed at her friend's stupidity. That was one of the many reasons she enjoyed having Lulu as a friend. She was practical, caring, kind, and yet funny, innocent, and care free. She never cared what Leia's status had been, and she would have kicked the school's butt in the second grade if they had spread that rumor any further saying that it was Leia who wrote those love notes on random people's desks.
"Well, Lu, it turns out I was adopted." Leia said, and an eerie silence descended amongst the two friends.
"Seriously?" Lulu asked.
"Mm-hm." Leia responded.
"Really?"
"Yup."
"No kidding?"
"No kidding."
"Cross your heart and hope to-"
"Oh for the love of- YES LULU! I'M TELLING THE TRUTH!" Leia snapped.
"Geeze...no need to yell...." Lulu cringed, causing Leia to sigh.
"So.....your parents didn't want you?" Lulu asked in a kind maner.
"No.....they died." Leia responded in a cool way.
"And you're taking this so well becaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause....?" Lulu asked, slightly creeped out at Leia's less-than-usually-emotional response.
"Well, I didn't really know them. Its like a goldfish sorta. It dies, you bury it, and get a new one the next day." Leia said, looking at her manicure she had recently gotten. Truthfully, though, she was sad about not knowing her birth mother and father.
"hm......................I'm not buying it." Lulu said. "I'll get it out of you that you wish you knew your parents! I will, Leia Organa! Or, whatever your last name was. Trust me, I will! And Lulu Maracala NEVER fails!!! I SHALL BE VICTORIOUS!!! MWUAHAHAHAA!!" and then she hung up.
Leia let out a chuckle, and then just layed on her bed. Oh Lulu, you crazy girl..... she thought to herself.
Then there was a knock at her door.
"Leia, sweetie, are you okay in there?" It was Bail.
Leia sighed, then answered; "I am Father. Oh, and Lulu invited me to go to the mall with her tommorow, can I please go?"
"Sure Leia, have fun then. Oh, and make sure you bring C-3P0 along so you have supervision."
"Wha-Bu-oh, fine. I will Father." Leia responded, giving some thought of C-3P0 nagging her senseless.
"Okay, Love you sweetie."
"Love you to, Father."

Tatooine, somewhere near the farm areas...
"We finally finished Luke! And it didn't take as long as I thought it would!" Biggs said happily as he and his friend Luke Skywalker skipped (not literally) out of his house to play in the suns.
"Told you." Luke said, walking ahead of his buddy.
Then, he could of sworn he heard someone say something.
No matter...The voice assured itself, Just means I'm closer to Tatooine! Yeah, Tatooine....
"Hah! Tatooine? Its just a dust ball on the outer rim!" Luke whispered, rather loudly.
"Hm? Luke? You say somethin'?" Biggs asked his buddy.
"No, did you?" Luke asked as he and his friend began to walk along the desert land.
"No." Biggs responded.
"Oh." Luke said, then what was that voice just then? He wondered.
So Luke and Biggs walked until they were pretty far from their homes, and they were going to go near a cave that they would play around at normally. What they didn't intend on seeing was a starship parked out a bit aways from the cavern that day.
"What the heck it this?" Luke asked himself, coming closer to the ship-enough to touch it, which he did, like the stupidly curious boy he was.
"Luke, I don't think you should touch it..." Biggs warned, but the warning was ignored, because Luke continued to touch the cool metal of the ship.
"Its so weird for the metal to be this cool....." Luke mumbled to himself, walking around the ship, examining it. He found a control panel on the outside (seriously, who are the stupid people who made these kind of things?)
"Luke! What are you doing?" Biggs asked his friend, who opened the control panel and is now trying to hack it.
"I wanna see what's inside." Luke said simply.
"But, what if the owner comes back?" Biggs asked, as Luke finished using the handy dandy screwdriver he had in his pocket to hack the control panel to open the door, which it did.
"Well, then we'll make a run for it." Luke said, running up the ramp and into the ship.
"Hey Luke!" Biggs said, reaching out to stop Luke, only not reaching in time as Luke got inside, but the young Skywalker boy stopped to look back at his friend.
"Aren't you coming Biggs?" Luke asked impatiently. "Its not like the owner'll fall out of the sky!"
"......but...er....well....fine!" Biggs said, stomping up the ramp. "But if we get caught its your fault." Biggs said, waving his finger in Luke's face to complete the threat.
"Fine, 'cuz we won't get caught!" Luke said proudly, practically running down the hall.
"Woa....this place is cool!" Biggs almost screamed, admiring the flashing buttons that were all along the walls as he walked along to meet Luke in the Captain's quarters.
"Hey Luke! What are you doing!?" Biggs shrieked, as Luke was going through the dresser next to the bed.
"I'm seeing who owns this ship." Luke replied, throwing clothes everywhere, then seeing a framed photo on top of said dresser.
"Hey look at this!" Luke said, grabbing the photo and flonting it in Biggs' face.
"Luke! Your invading someone's privacy!" Biggs said, very annoyed and trying to push it out from his face. I mean, Luke would hate it if someone went through his stuff!
"But look! Its probably the family of the captain!" Luke said, bringing the photo back so he could examine it.
There were two adults, and a little girl with a backdrop that looked like Naboo. The male figure, who looked like he was the father, had shaggy blonde hair that went a bit past his ear, had a couple scars under his sky blue eyes, and he wore a long black robe while his arm was around the woman who is most definitely the mother of the three. The woman had brown hair that was braided up and had chocolate brown eyes. She wore a fancy dress, as if she were someone important, and had a smile on her face, with her hand on the little girl's shoulder. The little girl, in return, had dirty blonde hair and sky blue eyes, and looked really anxious. She had a big smile on her face and her eyes glistened like crystals, while she was wearing a simple getup that any usual girl who looked like she was six would wear.
"I'm guessing the captain is the guy." Luke said, pointing to the man and shoving it in Biggs' face.
"Quit shoving it!" Biggs whined, putting his hands in his face to try and force Luke to move the framed photo.
Instead, though, Luke quickly ran out of the room, throwing the photo in the air, which Biggs caught hastily and put it back on the dresser. He then made sure it wouldn't fall and ran quickly after the now-hyper Luke.
"Luke! Your treating this place as if you live here!" Biggs said indignantly, coming into the cockpit to find Luke siting in the Pilot's seat.
"Luke!" Biggs said, stomping over to his friend.
"Thats my name, don't wear it out." Luke said, looking around the controls for something to push.
"Luke! don't push anything! You don't know what these buttons do!" Biggs pleaded.
"Oh be quiet, you cry baby." Luke said. "'Don't push anything!' 'Luke! Luke! LUKE!!' Quit it already, will you?" Luke mocked, looking at the many colorful buttons he could be pushing.
"But when we get caught, Its all your fault." Biggs said, looking over Luke's shoulder at the rainbowy buttons.
"I've heard it before, I'll hear it again." Luke replied bluntly. True, Luke had led the two into many troublesome spots like this where Biggs would beg to go and Luke would push the stay to the limit, but he had always managed to get them out before any real trouble happened.
Luke pushed a few buttons and managed to get onto what seemed to be a written form of the captain's log. Luke, being the curious one, wanted to read every last entry. Biggs, on the other hand, was pulling on Luke's arm trying to prevent him from touching the buttons.
"Luke! You can't! That could be PRIVATE!" Biggs pleaded, pulling on his friend's arm to keep him from reading the log.
"But I wanna find out who owns this ship! A name! Something! Even if its the name of a DOG!" Luke begged, forcing his finger towards the button.
"But-"
"BIGGS! Geeze!" Luke wailed, very, very annoyed. He let out a sigh and finally gave in to his friend's plead. So, he just sat back and sighed some more.
"Gosh, Biggs, its like-"
"WHAT THE SITH ARE YOU DOING IN MY SHIP?!"
Luke and Biggs paused for a moment, scared. Afraid to look behind them. Afraid to look at each other. Heck, even afraid to breathe next to each other!
"Biggs?" Luke began, still not daring to look behind him.
"Yeah?" Biggs replied, also as scared as his friend next to him.
"Was that you?" Luke asked.
"No." Biggs replied, a hint of fear in his voice. "Was it you?"
"No." Luke responded, the same amount of fear in his voice as well.
Ever so slowly, both Luke and Biggs turned to see two looming figures; two teenagers, a boy and a girl. The girl looked really mad, and the boy just looked as though he was flinching for an unknown, yet really known, reason.
"Run." The jet black haired boy warned as quietly as he possibly could.

Tatooine, somewhere in the caves...
"What could be so dangerous about a cave?" Sarai asked, oblivious to the danger they were in now.
"Well..." Jeffro said, walking towards the exit slowly, and looking around cautiously. Right there and then, a couple of Tusken Raiders came jumped out into plain view, prepared to trample the two.
"Sand men." Jeffro responded, stepping in front of Sarai, prepared for the oncoming attack.
"Sand men?" Sarai questioned, then got a look as though she had just solved one of life's mysteries. "Oh, you mean Tusken Raiders!" Sarai said, but then realized they were in danger so she pulled her lightsaber out, but didn't put it in full view for the Sand men.
"Not now Sarai, we're in dang'r, so what'll we do to ge' outta 'ere?" Jeffro said, getting his gun out from his belt and holding it out to defend himself.
"Well one, we shouldn't kill them. Maybe, just, frighten them off." Sarai said, pulling her lightsaber into view so the Tusken Raiders who were circling in on them could see it.
Upon seeing the glowing cerulean blue lightsaber, The Tusken Raiders went into a state of panic. Jeffro and Sarai looked questioningly at them, then at each other.
Sarai raised her lightsaber a bit towards them, and they began to back off in fear. She went towards them and waved it in their faces, causing them to run off in terror and leave them alone.
"Huh..." Sarai said, looking at her lightsaber. "Weird."
It wouldn't be weird if she had remembered the halloween story her dad had told her when she was six. Her Dad had watched her mom die in her arms, and used his cerulean lightsaber to kill the Tusken Raiders who had done that to her. supposedly, it had turned into a Sandman legend, and now they thought she was some crazy reincarnation of her Father. Totally crazy, right?
"Don't say weird, say buh-bye cave." Jeffro said, still a bit panicked. He grabbed onto Sarai and rushed the two of them out of the cave of a thousand Sand men.
"Your such a chicken Jeffro." Sarai said as they exited the cave. "Don't you want your stuff from your ship?"
"Tha on'y thing I had in that ship was my digna'y." Jeffro responded, looking a bit serious, thought that statement caused Sarai to laugh.
She realized he wasn't laughing with her, so she took it that he was not joking. "Oh, you were serious?"
"Yup." Jeffro said, not caring how hot the desert heat was now, even though it was beginning to make him a bit delirious. "Ma stuff was burnt in dat fire when I was fourteen. I had nothin' lef' 'cept ma digna'y an ma mem'ries. Plus a bi' a clothin'."
Sarai stared at her traveling companion. True, she had already known that about him. More important, he had opened up and told her a bit about his past, which he rarely ever did.
Sarai chose to leave it at that, so she put her hand behind her head and they began to walk back to the Salva Angel. Man, this is one adventure they would not like to repeat.
But as they walked to the ship, Sarai felt as though something were wrong. In the very fibers that made up her soul. Her brain was yelling at her. Her very life force was screaming it. She sensed it.
And guess what? Her feeling was proven correct when she saw the ramp to the Salva Angel on the sandy ground.
"oh....my....sith....SOMEONES IN THE SALVA ANGEL!!!! CRUD!!" Sarai yelled furiously, running into her ship, followed quickly by a now scared-for-the-trespasser's-life Jeffro. Jeffro managed to calm down the young Jedi-to-be, so they creeped up and snuck into the cockpit, unnoticed by the trespasser-trespassers-who, apparently fighting in Sarai's pilot seat.
"....That could be PRIVATE!" They heard the first voice say, as he tugged on what would be the second one. Needless to say, he was a kid with black hair..
"But I wanna find out who owns this ship! A name! Something! Even if its the name of a DOG!" The second one begged, looking as though he were forcing the first one to hold onto him for good reasons.
"But-"
"BIGGS! Geeze!" the second voice wailed, seeming very, very annoyed. They hear a sigh and, after a minute, a second sigh was heard.
"Gosh, Biggs, its like-"
"WHAT THE SITH ARE YOU DOING IN MY SHIP?!"
Sarai couldn't take it anymore. She just had to scream. She needed to strike fear in these boys' hearts, and make them get off her property. Even if it meant killing them. Seeing as though they were silent and didn't move, she presumed that she had made her point.
"Biggs?" The second voice said, still not facing Sarai, Jeffro, or his partner-in-trespassing.
"Yeah?" the first replied, supposedly the one known as 'Biggs', doing the same as his partner.
"Was that you?"
"No." there was a pause, and fear in his voice. "Was it you?"
"No." the other responded, fear in his voice too.
Ever so slowly, both turned to see Sarai and Jeffro; Sarai, ready to kill them. Jeffro, not so much.
"Run." Jeffro warned the two, trying his best to keep quiet, even though he knew Sarai could hear what he had just said.

Hey guys! This took like, a couple of days to do (that, shopping for my new dress and stuff for the wedding, updating my other stories, and trying to re-adjust my schedule, etc.,) so, I hope this makes up for all the time! Chapters will be coming out faster now, I PROMISE you, so no more worries!!! But, it may be another week, because I'll be headed to Connecticut for my cousin's wedding. And I'm not sure my wireless internet will work in a different State. But, I'll have plenty of time to write more, so expect faster updates!!
