AN: Oh my gosh guys sorry for the occasional 'i' in the last updates! It seems FF doesn't like my format I typed it in.. :c
Everyone but Keeth was frozen in the cockpit. As if everyone was thinking if they moved the ships wouldn't fire.
Waxer knew they were wrong. Tisha screamed as the small ship shuddered as it was hit by the red laser fire. Waxer didn't watch Boil pull Tisha out of the cockpit, he was too worried on what to do.
"Commander? Orders?" Waxer didn't like flying, and this was why. He was helpless to defend himself.
Cody snapped his helmet on and Waxer did the same.
"Sir?" Waxer hit the wall as the their ship rocked again.
Cody recovered from the tremor and shook his head, " No guns.. dammit dammit.. Keeth! Jump NOW!"
Keeth snapped a reply," I'm trying. Setting coordinates to Ryloth.."
Waxer sighed in relief as he felt the ship tug underneath his feet into hyperspace. They were ok for now. He watched the commander sit down in the co-pilot seat fumbling with controls.
"Don't touch anything!" Keeth snapped.
Cody ignored him and Keeth stood. Cody looked up at the boy's eyes, face hidden by his helmet. Waxer wearily watched, ready to interfere.
"We are going to Ryloth, clone, NOT to your damn jedi generals." Keeth growled.
Cody didn't back down," Who said we were heading there? The ship is going to Ryloth. I am just setting coordinates for General Kenobi to-"
Keeth hardened, clenching his fists," My ship, my rules. Get outta here. Only Tisha and I are aloud up here from now on."
Waxer stepped between the two bristling males," Sir.. let's just go. We can contact the general from our helmet comms..sir."
Cody's helmet dipped down as if he were thinking the it lifted again," Fine, boy, be quick. Your fuel is dwindling." Cody shuffled out of the cockpit.
Keeth glared at Waxer," Go, you too. And tell your buddy to leave my sister alone."
Waxer snorted and turned away and out of the cockpit, almost running into Tisha.
"Oh, sorry Waxer, just wanted to check on Keeth-"
Waxer interrupted her," Miss... about Boil, please leave him be. There is no time for him to start liking you if we are leaving you on Ryloth. Keeth isn't happy about it either. So please, clear off."
Tisha was quiet for a moment before speaking out in a whisper," I know.. he likes me a lot already Waxer.. that's not fair to him.."
Waxer nodded grimly," Yeah, I know. But he can deal with it." Waxer stepped out of her way to let her pass and then walked right up to Boil.
Boil was scrubbing his deece of the dust that coated it. He looked up as Waxer approached.
"Hey there Waxer, goin to Ryloth again huh? Wonder-"
Waxer silenced him with a glare," We are leaving Tisha and Keeth behind Boil. I need to make sure you can let her go ok?"
Boil visibly froze then he was right on Waxer," Wax, you didn't let go of Numa, why do I have to let go of Tish?" Boil challenged him.
Waxer drew hs head back," You of all people should.." Waxer trailed off angrily then started up again," Numa was not like that. She is five for crying out loud! She is a friend." Waxer finished.
Boil looked at Waxer as if trying to meet his eyes then looked away," Yeah.. I know. It's just.. she's the first person that ever really liked me, for being me." he seemed to be struggling with words, "And she is perfect Wax.. I like her, she likes me." Boil sighed.
Waxer clapped his hand on his brother's shoulder," Hey, you'll find a nother girl Boil.."
Boil looked at him as if that statement was not true. Waxer looked up as Cody walked up to them.
"Sir?" Waxer and Boil said in harmony.
Cody nodded then sighed," We are nearing Ryloth. You two will know your way around too. We're back at Nabat."
