Keira was under very tight surveillance. She couldn't eat without everyone watching her. She couldn't walk place to place without anyone watching her. She couldn't do anything without anyone watching her. But being a 'very important prisoner' has its perks. The Rebels gave her clothes, food, and her own private space. But all the clothes she was given had the Rebel insignia, so when she was all by herself, she put her Imperial uniform back on. One day though, someone knocked on her door. She immediately took her Imperial uniform off, put her pants on, but her shirt was on her head when the person walked in. "I see you're busy." The voice, which was masculine, said jokingly. She pulled her shirt down and saw the man. He had a dark beard that was short, shaggy black hair, and stood awkwardly. "Who are you?" Keira cautiously asked. "I'm Caluan Ematt. You can call me Ematt if you want." He replied with a smile. Keira snarled, "Didn't you ever learn not to walk into a room when someone is changing clothes?"
"I'm sorry. I didn't think you were changing." Ematt said. "Well I was. What are you doing here, Ematt?" Keira said harshly. "You're the first person I've seen with red hair like that. It brings out your eyes." Ematt trailed off, with Keira replying, "Excuse me? Are you trying to flirt with me? Is this what you rebels do?"
"No… I'll… I'll just leave." Ematt walked out with a sad look on his face. The door slammed shut and Keira said to herself, "Crap, I was a little harsh. Maybe if he comes back, I'll be a little bit more polite." She laughed to herself and said, "Maybe I shouldn't change when someone tries to come in." She wanted to apologize to Ematt, so she put on her boots and walked out of her room. She saw him turn the corner and she started to follow him. When they got a little closer, Ematt figured out she was following him. So he tried to lose her. Keira noticed he was going to go into the mess hall and lose her, so she started to jog and he started to run. He ran into the mess hall, while Keira was in hot pursuit. He started to hurdle over tables and push people out of the way, but that didn't stop Keira. He ran outside through the other entrance, ran into a janitor's closet, and locked the door. Keira started banging on the door and yelled, "Let me in!" People looked at her like she was crazy, but they went on. "What do you want?" Ematt yelled back. "Can we talk?" Keira asked. Nothing happened for a few seconds and Ematt opened the door.
"Talk."
"Let's not do it in the closet. I don't want anyone getting ideas." Ematt nodded and they went back to the mess hall. They both got some hot caf and sat at a table. "I was a jerk. I thought you were…. you know. I thought all of the rebels were."
"That's the Imperial perception, it's okay. I was trying to comment on your beautiful features, not flirting."
"Thank you. You aren't so bad yourself." That comment made Ematt grin and they began to talk. "So where are you from Ematt?"
"I should ask you the same question."
"Ha ha. I'll tell you. I'm from Coruscant and my family is in the government somehow. I joined the academy and I joined the Navy as a officer on a Star Destroyer."
"So tell me this," Ematt asked, "why did you wear so much makeup, to the point your face was a black, puffy mess when you started to cry?"
"It was my first day. I wanted to look pretty. But now that I think of it, I overdid it a bit." The comment made them both laugh and they talked more. Keira started feeling a connection between her and Ematt.

Walker liked having Courtney back. But now he needed to make a decision. Propose or give the relationship time. Courtney loved Walker, but he didn't know if she wanted to go that far. Then there was the decision if he wanted to go back to Dagobah or not. Yoda was on his deathbed and he might not hold out much longer. He made his decision. He would go back to Dagobah and see Yoda for one last time. He had to see his master again before he died. But he forgot about that after his leg fell asleep. He literally couldn't move without waking up Courtney. She would probably be grumpy if he did. He flexed his leg up, but Courtney, who was half-asleep, said, "Stop it Walker, I'm sleep deprived." He whispered in her ear, "Do you want me to take you to your bed?"
"Can you stay with me? I don't want to be alone."
"I'll sit right next to you and keep you safe."
"I like that." She smiled and fell back to sleep. He picked her up and went to the personal quarters. He put her down on his bed and sat on the bed across from her. He got to move his legs and make them not feel weird anymore. He heard Lando call his name in the cockpit and he walked up there. As he walked by, Han was looking at Leia, who still wore her outfit. He looked at Han and he mouthed, "Do you see what I'm seeing?" Walker nodded and Han went back to work. When Walker got to the cockpit he asked, "What's up?"
"We're almost there, I just wanted to tell you."
"Thanks Lando. Mind if I stay up here?"
"Go right ahead." Walker remembered all of the times he was up here. There were good times and some bad times too. "Where you from Walker?" Lando asked in his smooth voice.
"It depends. I lived on Alderaan, but I was born on Tatooine. I'm not going to try and explain my past."
"How'd you join the Alliance?"
"I didn't like the Empire." Walker answered. "Where's Chewie?" Walker asked. "He's taking a dump." Lando replied.
"Wookies…. crap?"
"I guess so. Where else would their junk go?" Walker looked at Lando and asked, "Of everything we could talk about, why are we talking about Wookie crap?"
"I know as much as you Walker." A few buttons started beeping and Lando added, "We're almost here. Pull that lever over there." Walker and Lando pulled out of hyperspace and they saw the Rebel Fleet. "It's good to be home." Walker said. "Is this General Solo?" The officer said from the Remembrance.
"No this is Lando Calrissian, I have General Solo, Princess Organa, Captain Codbrun, and Courtney Wolf." Walker whispered, "Uh, Lando, I'm not a Captain anymore, I'm a Commander."
"So this is the Millennium Falcon?"
"Yes we are. Do we have permission to land?" The transmission was silent for a few seconds and the officer replied, "You have clearance to land." They pulled into the small hangar and landed. Walker saw out of the window a huge crowd of people around the Falcon. The group walked to the center of the ship and Lando said, "Welcome home guys." Han took it to more an extent and said, "Han Solo is back in the freaking Alliance." Walker didn't see Courtney and he went to her bed. "Wake up Courtney." He whispered in her ear and Courtney whispered back, "Walker, can I tell you something?"
"Sure. You can tell me anything." Walker replied quietly.
"I love you." She said
"I love you too Courtney. But we're home now." She shot out of bed and went to the center of the Falcon. "Let's go." Walker ordered. The hatch opened and everyone walked out, expecting a huge crowd. They were bombarded with questions, hugs, and even things to autograph. The group tried to get out in a hurry, even though they weren't in a rush. They didn't even know what to do. When they finally got out of the crowd, Leia asked, "When can I go back to my room to get some new clothes? I got some looks from some guys back there."
"The feeling is mutual." Courtney added.
"I think we should report to our leading officers and tell them the mission passed with flying colors." Walker said. "Let's go then." Han ordered. Walker stood there for a second and didn't move. Courtney turned around and asked, "Are you coming?"
"I can't. I have to get to Dagobah to see an old friend."
"But we just got back, and I need to spend some more time with you."
"I'll only be gone a day or two."
"Okay… Two days tops." "Two days tops. I love you." Courtney hugged him and kissed him and then caught up with the group. Walker had to find an A-Wing. He walked back to the small hangar, which had cleared out some, and saw Ematt inspecting some ships. But he wasn't alone. Keira was right by his side. He ran over to Ematt and asked, "What are you doing?" Ematt opened his mouth, but Keira cut him off and hugged Walker and said, "Walker! It's good to see you again! As you can see, I met Ematt, and we've become friends!" Walker looked at Ematt and he nodded. "What brings you here Walker?" Keira asked. "I need an A-Wing. Is there one here?"
"Yes, there is, but you need permission from the-"
"Ematt I don't have time for that. Can you just put my name on a piece of paper and make me do it later?"
"But that's-" He was cut off by Keira saying, "He would love to do that, wouldn't you Ematt?"
"Um, sure, take the A-Wing." Walker walked over to the A-Wing and opened the hatch. He got inside, put the uniform on over his Jedi robes, and took off. It felt good to be piloting again after a few weeks. When he got a ways away from the fleet, he put in the coordinates for Dagobah and jumped to lightspeed. As the tunnel of blue light went past him, he noticed this A-Wing was almost out of fuel. "Crap, hopefully Yoda has some sort of herbal fuel in his hut." He pulled out of lightspeed and saw the green planet of Dagobah. He flew into the atmosphere, and without a scratch, landed next to Luke's X-Wing with ease. Walker got out and smelled the humid, swampy air. He looked over and saw Artoo waiting outside the hut. He turned his head, saw Walker, and started joyfully beeping and chirping. Walker smiled at the droid and patted him on the head. he walked in and saw Yoda laying down on his small bed. Luke turned his head and said, "You made it, and just in time too. Welcome back, Walker."
Yoda piped up, "Good to see you, it is."
"It's good to see you too Master. Don't mind me, continue talking to Luke." Walker took a knee next to Luke next to Yoda's bed and Luke asked, "Like I was saying, am I a Jedi?" Yoda replied, "Ohh, not yet. One thing remains: Vader. You must confront Vader. Then, only then, and Jedi you will be." Luke looked sick to his stomach and asked, "Master Yoda… Is Darth Vader my father?" Yoda dodged the question and turned on his side. "Master, Luke asked you a question." Walker said. "Your father, he is." Luke sat still for a moment and Yoda asked, "Told you, did he?"
"Yes." Yoda coughed and said, "Unexpected this is, and unfortunate." "Unfortunate that I know the truth?" Luke asked. Yoda looked at him and said, "No. Unfortunate that you rushed to face him… that incomplete was your training. Not ready for the burden, you were."
"Well, I'm sorry." Luke said. Yoda looked at the both off them and taught, "Remember, a Jedi's strength flows through the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side, are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever it will dominate your destiny." Yoda beckoned for Luke and Walker to come closer to him and he said, "Luke…. Walker…. Do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor, or suffer Vader's fate, you will. When gone am I," Yoda started to cough, but continued, "the last of the Jedi will you two be. Pass on what you have learned." Yoda leaned close to Luke and finished, "There is… another… Sky…. walker." Yoda closed his eyes for one last time and rested his head back. The small Grand Master started to fade away into the Force. After a few seconds, Yoda was gone. Luke looked stunned. Walker had no expression on his face. Grand Master Yoda was dead once and for all.
A/N: Yoda died… I don't own any of Star Wars, but man if I did, I would have probably given Yoda a different death, instead of just disappearing into nothingness. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, remember to Fave, Follow, Review, and May the Force be with You!
