A/N: Sorry I took so long to get chapter 3, so here's a short filler chapter to make up for it.
Later that night the Senators slept on cots in the cargo hold. Hera and Rex were in the cockpit going over the data Chop had managed to steal. Kanan was asleep, and Zeb and Chop were playing holochess. Sabine had just gotten out of the shower and changed into her black jumpsuit that went under her armor.
"Move that piece to the left." She said to Zeb as she walked back to her room. "He'll have you in three if you don't."
Zeb looked at her, then at the table, then at her. Chopper laughed and made a series of rude remarks in his droid language.
Sabine walked into her room and sat down at her desk. She looked at her sketchbook and thought about drawing until she fell asleep. Then she looked at the dress that the Senator had let her borrow. She remembered the dance that she and Ezra had shared and smiled. It had been a good night, but had been cut short by business. She wondered what it would have been like if they had actually been two Imperials at a dance together, instead of rebels crashing the party. An idea came to her, and she began digging through the box that served as her extra storage. Most of the stuff was either art related or explosive related, and a few were both. But there was one item in there that she was looking for in particular.
She finally found it at the bottom of the box. It was an old music player she had picked up just after she had joined the crew. It had a few songs on there, she knew, but not like the ones she was wanting. She hooked into the holo net and used a program she had designed to download a couple of songs. Once she had what she needed, she poked her head out the door. Everyone was still to occupied with what they were doing to notice her cross the hallway to Ezra's room. She walked in and found him sitting on the floor, meditating.
"Hey." He said as he opened his eyes. "Some night, huh."
"Yeah, it was." She laughed.
"I had fun though." Ezra said as he stood up.
"Me to." Sabine replied. "You wanna have some more fun?"
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Come on" Sabine said as she took his hand. She looked out the door, and when it was clear she pulled him over to her room.
"Sabine, why are we in your room?" He asked nervously.
"Because." Sabine replied "Our dance tonight was cut short, but luckily I found this." She said as she held up the music player. She pushed the play button, and soft music began coming from the little box. "So let's finish this dance." She put her arms around him and pulled him closer.
Ezra laughed and did the same, and they began to dance. "You've got more surprises than I do." He said.
She smiled softly and they spun around the tiny room for a few minutes, then Ezra pulled her closer and kissed her. They fell on the ground, but neither of them cared. As they lay in each other's arms, Sabine felt the Ghost lurch as it came out of hyperspace. A few minutes later, the two teens were still pressed together as the Ghost was rocked by blaster fire.
The alarm began blaring, and they could here Chopper beeping frantically.
"Kids, get to your stations!" Hera yelled from the cockpit.
"What's going on?" Sabine asked as she ran to the nose gun.
"We made a pit stop for fuel and were recognized." Hera said "Hyperdrive is still recharging, so we have to hold these TIEs off until I can get a jump."
The crew jumped into action, firing at any fighter that came into their sights.
"How much longer Hera?" Ezra yelled.
"Three minutes." Hera replied.
As Sabine blasted another TIE, there was a bright flash, and a star destroyer exited hyperspace right in front of them.
"Karabast!" Hera yelled as she flipped the Ghost around. Two more star destroyers exited hyperspace, and they were surrounded.
"Great, what now?" Zeb asked. They flew around for another minute, and as Sabine shot another fighter, something caught her eye.
"Guys I don't think the destroyers were here for us." She said. "But I know how we're getting out of this."
"What do you mean?" Kanan asked.
"Those destroyers are headed for the fuel depot." Sabine explained. "If we can rupture the fuel tanks, boom, three less destroyers, and a distraction to get out."
There was a pause. "It could work." Hera said. "But we're going to have to be fast. That blast is going to be massive."
Hera swung the Ghost around to line up for a pass on the station. "You ready Sabine?" She asked
"Let's go" Sabine replied.
As they flew toward the station, Sabine poured as much fire as possible onto the main fuel tanks. They ruptured, and the entire station was engulfed in blue flame. Hera turned the Ghost up and away from the explosion. Seconds later, a massive explosion rocked the Ghost as the remaining fuel tanks exploded under the pressure and heat. Sabine ran to the Phantom, where Ezra was sitting. She looked out the window to view her handy work.
A massive blue green sun had appeared where the station had been. The nose of the closest star destroyer had been sheared away and sent hurtling into the command tower of the destroyer next to it. This caused the second destroyer to list to one side. As they watched, it crashed into the third star destroyer, taking a large chunk off of one side.
"Hang on everyone!" Hera called. The burning star destroyers disappeared as the Ghost shot into hyperspace.
"Nice shot." Ezra said
"What can I say?" Sabine laughed, "I have a thing for making stuff go boom."
"You sure do." Ezra laughed. "Now where were we?"
Sabine wrapped her arms around him and kissed him slowly They stood together for a moment, then Zeb walked into the Phantom.
"Hey Sabine, great sho- ahh!" He cried as he saw them. "Karabast! I'm never going to be able to unsee that now"
Sabine and Ezra both laughed. "You better get used to it Zeb." Sabine said "You'll probably see it a lot more."
"Gah at least you were only kissing, not doing...other things." Zeb said as he turned to leave. Sabine laughed again, then wrapped her arms around Ezra again and pulled him close.
