The next day…

Luke, Leia, and Han were at the pep rally carnival as they walked around and watched students playing carnival games, eating food, or talking to one another. Suddenly, the trio swore they saw Xanatos and Brendol pointing different locations out to various Stormtroopers who ran off to their locations: they were still working out the plans.

"Alright, boys, here's the plan: Luke, go take the fight to Xanatos if you can before they perform the most important part of the agenda which is to embarrass all of the jocks during their speech. Han and I will go handle the Stormtroopers and Brendol." Leia explained.

"Got it. Remember we're doing this as a team, ok? Text me or something once" Luke reminded his sister and best friend.

"It's totally clear that we're a team, kid." Han grinned.

"We'll get through this together. Got that, boys?" Leia told them while holding out her hand.

"You know that we're always in it together." Luke nodded before he put his hand on top of hers.

"I'm really in on this team thing. I can't be by myself all of the time, you know." Han said as he put his hand on top of Luke's.

They then threw their hands up into the air and cheered in unison, "GO REBELS!"

With that, the trio went off their separate ways. Luke sighed as he watched Leia and Han go off in the other direction before he saw Xanatos heading towards the stage where the jocks would make their speech. He cringed and followed the black haired menace in hopes of stopping him.

Meanwhile, Han and Leia were trying to follow Brendol and some Stormtroopers who were snooping around the carnival games, supposedly getting ready to break or screw them up somehow.

"HEY!" Leia called out to the group of Imperials.

They turned to the two and glared at them while Brendol crossed his arms.

"What?! How did you escape?! And why are you with Solo?!" The red head demanded.

"He helped me escape your incredibly convenient prison in the gym, what exactly are YOU going to do with those carnival games?" Leia told him with an annoyed sigh.

"We'll never tell you!" Brendol retorted.

"Really?" Han asked while smirking.

With Luke, he was finally able to catch up with Xanatos who was trying to mess up the microphone.

"Stop right there!" Luke yelled at his enemy which made him stop and look at him.

"Luke Skywalker…I've been waiting for this moment…" Xanatos grinned evilly.

"Don't do this to the jocks. They don't deserve it. Heck, the whole school doesn't deserve it!" Luke pointed out.

"You really think that acting like a pacifist will solve everything? Pathetic!" Xanatos taunted.

"I can't believe you! You captured my sister and imprisoned her in the equipment room and now you decide to destroy the jocks' reputation because it feels good to you?!" Luke yelled at him.

Then, he charged at Xanatos who ran at him before they started fighting.

Meanwhile, Han was dunking Brendol's head into a container of water in order to get information out of him while Leia confronted the Stormtroopers who were retreating.

"Now, tell us what you were REALLY doing, you slimy crazy red head!" He commanded while pulling up his head.

Brendol coughed some water out and gave Han a death glare before he yelled, "I still won't tell you anything!"

"Just tell us already!" Leia demanded.

"Fine, I'll tell you! We wanted to destroy everyone else's reputations aside from the jocks! That's what Xanatos was doing!" Brendol groaned.

"Where's Xanatos then?" Han asked while holding Brendol by his shirt collar.

"Over there." Brendol answered before pointing to the stage where Luke and Xanatos were fighting.

"Luke…" Leia gasped happily as she noticed the scene going on and Brendol ran off nervously.

"Would you look at that? The kid's doing well on his own." Han commended with a chuckle. "He better not get cocky with this…"

Once the fight was drawing to a close, Luke quickly jumped over Xanatos and quickly hit him so hard that the Imperials' leader went flying into the bushes. He sighed in relief as the crowds cheered and Han and Leia came running up to him while complimenting him and giving him hugs.

"You did great, kid." Han told Luke, giving him a pat on the back.

"Congrats, Luke." Leia smiled.

"Thanks, guys." Luke said happily.

After that, they got off of the stage and went to enjoy the pep rally carnival. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
