"Do we have more business on Coruscant?" Violet asked Liliana.
It was only yesterday that she left Coruscant, but after the events she went through it felt like a month thankfully however she managed to survive her ordeals. The young smuggler leaned back in her seat the past few days have been one thing after another first getting caught in a battle between Republic and Separatist ships then the invasion of Corellia and then on to fighting Death Watch then fighting alongside them against a battalion of droids.
"Things have been pretty crazy the past few days huh?" Liliana asked her droids.
Iron shuffled on his feet beeping rapidly in aggravated approval.
"Don't blame me" Liliana snapped at him, "Although I guess it is my fault. I did choose to go rushing in to everything".
"If I may" Violet began turning to fully face Liliana, "Perhaps it is time for a vacation. Some rest in a peaceful environment will do well to relieve the stress from recent events".
Liliana nodded, "That's not a bad idea…I wonder where we should go".
"May I suggest Tython?" Violet asked, "You were quite relaxed when we last visited. According to my memory banks when we were on Tython approximately eight months twelve days seventeen hours twenty min".
"I got it" Liliana shouted, "It's been a while since I've had some R&R hmm…I wouldn't mind taking Ahsoka or Alexandra with me for an undetermined amount of time alone" she grinned to herself, "Maybe even both of them".
"Liliana" Violet began, "Your body temperature is rising are you having fantasies again?"
Liliana's grin vanished, "And just like that my good thoughts are gone. Violet next time you observe such a thing from me. Keep quiet about it".
Taking hold of the controls Liliana steered her ship down to the surface of Coruscant. After getting clearance to land Liliana set her ship down and quickly departed calling a taxi to take her straight to the Jedi Temple. During the ride to the temple she could feel her body and eyes growing heavier she had no idea how long she was out after being brought to the Death Watch camp, but the fatigue from escaping the separatist attack was catching up to her. She lightly shook her head trying to keep herself awake thankfully the taxi had arrived at the Jedi Temple after landing in the hangar Liliana paid the driver and ran over to the first person she saw.
"Do you have permission to be here?" the maintenance officer asked her.
"I'm here to see Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano" she told him, "I'm relatively certain they're expecting me".
The officer gave an annoyed sigh and motioned for her to follow him, "First off I'll need to see some ID to verify who you are and you'll need to surrender your weapons and other personal items during your visit".
Liliana chuckled, "Yeah that's gonna happen. Just call Anakin or Ahsoka or even any of the Council I've been here before and I've been allowed both times to keep my weapons on me".
"Rules are rules" he told her, "Until you relinquish your weapons I cannot allow you inside".
"Wait" Liliana said to herself, "What the hell am I doing I have my comlink" backing away from the officer she raised her comlink to her mouth and switched it on, "Ahsooooka" she said in a sing song voice.
"Liliana?" Ahsoka's voice responded, "Is that you?"
"No it's the other girl that sounds like me" the smuggler answered sarcastically, "Since you answered that means you're in range so…how about coming to meet me in the hangar?"
"Wait you're at the temple hangar?"
"Yeah" Liliana answered, "I just got back wanted to come say hi and let everyone know I'm alright…well mostly alright".
"What do you mean?" she asked her, "What happened what did you do?"
"Nothing" Liliana said in a teasing tone.
"Just don't move" Ahsoka sighed, "I'll be there in a few minutes. Try not to cause any trouble".
"Since when do I cause trouble?" Liliana asked herself after switching off her comlink.
Liliana didn't have to wait long Ahsoka practically barged into the hangar and called to her in a clearly angered tone as she walked over to her.
Upon seeing the Togruta padawan Liliana smiled, "Hey there good lookin'".
"What is wrong with you?" she immediately snapped, "You asked the Jedi for help and then you just up and left without us".
Liliana's smile was replaced by an apologetic look, "I'm sorry I really am, but Hondo told me it would be too dangerous to bring you and Anakin with me".
"How?" Ahsoka asked her still angry, "What could have been so dangerous that having two Jedi with you wouldn't have helped?"
Liliana moved her hand to the spot on her stomach where she was stabbed, "Having the two of you with me would have helped, but I didn't want to risk either of you getting hurt…or worse".
"Dealing with one person and his guards?"
Liliana lowered her eyes, "It wasn't just Stagg and his guards. The Mandalorian group Death Watch was there as well".
"Death Watch?" Ahsoka repeated, "You went off to face Stagg and Death Watch by yourself? After all the incredible things you've done up until now you do something as stupid and running off to face against Death Watch".
"I take it you've heard of them then" Liliana concluded.
"Yes I've heard of them" Ahsoka yelled, "Master Kenobi was almost killed by their leader. They are extremely dangerous".
Liliana chuckled, "Yeah no arguments there…they knew how to fight that's for sure" she massaged the spot where she was stabbed and Ahsoka zeroed in on the scar.
"What happened?"
Liliana removed her hand, "One of them stabbed me. I managed to take out two of them and injure the third, but he got back up and surprised me".
Ahsoka shook her head, "At least you managed to survive. What happened to Stagg?"
"I killed him" Liliana answered and to her own surprise she sounded guilty about it, "I had to Ahsoka…I'm sorry".
Ahsoka closed her eyes fully absorbing her words before nodding to her, "You're alive that's enough for me".
"Before I depart again I would like to speak to the Council again. Could you arrange that?"
"I can try" Ahsoka replied waving her hand for her to follow.
Just like the last time and the time before Liliana followed Ahsoka through the temple halls taking in as many details as she could about the home of the Jedi Order. Even she felt a strange sense of centered peace within these walls it was beginning to make sense why the Jedi preferred to remain here so often. Truly a serene environment Liliana wished she could spend a few days here just to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Stopping outside the Council Chambers Ahsoka told Liliana to wait as she went inside to speak to the High Council returning in under a minute to escort the young smuggler inside for a third time.
"Ms. Liliana you've returned" Mace Windu said as she entered the room.
"I have" Liliana replied to him, "But please if you're going to address me with titles I would prefer you to call me Captain. Ms just makes me feel old".
"Noted" the stalwart Jedi nodded, "What brings you back to us?"
Liliana looked around the circle of chairs there were many more Jedi here than there were yesterday, "Just information I learned during my trip to Nar Shaddaa".
"Ah yes you're little mission to Nar Shaddaa" Windu said leaning back in his chair, "I find it strange you petition the Jedi for aid in bringing down a dangerous criminal and after we grant you that aid you leave without it".
"I had my reasons Master Windu" Liliana admitted, "After making my preparations to leave I had learned that the Mandalorian terrorist group Death Watch had been hired by Stagg to hunt down and kill Hondo Ohnaka and his gang".
Windu raised an eyebrow questioning her judgment, "And you left without the support of the Jedi to face this alone?"
"Even I have heard stories of what the Death Watch has done. I did not wish to put Anakin and Ahsoka in that kind of danger and I was fairly confident in my abilities to handle the situation there were only four of them, but that's not important right now. While I was there I witnessed Stagg demonstrating some new weapon to them it was able to completely melt its way through the armor your clone troopers wear and it has one hell of an impact radius. Unfortunately even though I managed to kill two of them and Stagg the remaining two captured me and burned Stagg's estate to the ground. I just felt you should know of these weapons and the threat they could pose. Of course I'm sure they're just going to try and take control of Mandalore with them, but if they were to ever be used against your soldiers they would prove very effective".
"I see" Master Windu hummed while the rest of the council remained silent, "How many of these blasters were there?"
Liliana closed her eyes trying to recall what she heard, "Four or Five I don't remember exactly, but there are no more than five unless they've begun making more themselves. That's not all though after I awoke in their camp the Separatists attacked their outpost with missile strikes and a rather large battalion of battle droids. I don't know how they managed to do it, but from what I could understand their leader Pre Vizsla managed to piss off Count Dooku. I made my escape during the attack and returned to Nar Shaddaa to reclaim my ship before returning here".
"These weapons Death Watch have acquired are troubling, but news of them and Count Dooku no longer being allies is a good thing. We thank you for this information Captain".
"That's it?" Liliana asked him, "If Death Watch use these weapons innocent people could be killed. You are going to do something about that right?"
"I'm afraid without solid reason neither the Republic nor the Jedi Order can interfere with a neutral system".
"It's with the utmost respect that I say this Master Jedi, but this is the reason most of the galaxy doesn't trust or like the Jedi. You claim to be defenders of the peace and the innocent, but when innocent people are being killed including children you take no action until it's almost too late".
"I understand your concerns Liliana. Look at it this way if we were to intervene too quickly we could cause more trouble than we solve. Situations such as these and the Clone Wars must be looked at as a whole before the Jedi can become involved otherwise things may grow worse".
Liliana refused to accept that as an answer, but she knew arguing any further wouldn't accomplish anything so she resigned her argument, "I'm sorry Master Windu I guess I'm still a bit on edge after everything that's happened in the past few days".
"That is understandable" the Jedi Master nodded, "Now if you'll excuse us".
Liliana bowed to the Council and left alongside Ahsoka, "That went as well as expected".
"You never hold back do you?" Ahsoka asked her, "Not a lot of people would come out and say what you did to a Jedi Master let alone in the middle of the Council".
An assertive tone accompanied Liliana's laugh, "If I ever held back what was on my mind there wouldn't be as many people who hated my guts".
Ahsoka chuckled, "One of these days Liliana" she said shaking her head, "So what will you do now?"
"I was thinking of going back to Tython" Liliana answered, "It was such a beautiful place I wouldn't mind taking a vacation there for a few days. Care to join me?"
"I'm afraid I can't" Ahsoka declined, "Chances are Anakin and I will be given another mission soon".
"Come on" Liliana insisted, "We can drop by Corellia and grab Alexandra and then be on our way" a devilish smile spread across her mouth, "It'd just be the three of us all alone for a few days with no one else around".
Ahsoka took a quick step away from her, "That would be another reason I couldn't go. I like you Liliana, but considering what happened last time I was alone with you".
Liliana quickly stepped around behind her, "You mean this?" she said grabbing Ahsoka's waist.
Ahsoka's entire body tensed as Liliana touched her, "What are you doing?" she said forcing her stiffened body to move.
"You know if you struggle that only excites me more" Liliana as Ahsoka tried to move away, but Liliana held her tighter not letting her go.
"Liliana that's enough" Ahsoka said forcing the smuggler's arms away. Backing away from the smuggler Ahsoka hugged her arm tight against her body, "Liliana you can't do something like that here".
Liliana gave her a half bow, "I beg your forgiveness Master Jedi. I'm afraid I was unable to control myself in the presence of someone so attractive".
Ahsoka blushed and turned away from her, "You really don't know where the line is do you?"
"No I do" Liliana told her, "I just like to keep inching myself closer and closer to it. I really like living on the edge".
"Gee I never would have guessed" Ahsoka groaned.
Liliana stood next to Ahsoka and leaned her back against the wall, "Four days. Four days ago I never would have imagined I'd end up being friends with a Jedi let alone working with one. Hard to believe its been four days".
"Yeah" Ahsoka said slowly relaxing her shoulders, "A lot has happened in the past few days".
Liliana crossed her arms, "I don't suppose there's any way you could join me? I promise to behave".
Ahsoka smiled slightly, "I would like to I really would. Even if it was just for one day I would love to relax, but I'm afraid I can't, but thank you for the offer".
"Well if you ever change your mind" Liliana said pushing off the wall, "You know how to reach me" she looked down the hall, "I'd better get going then you stay safe wherever you end up".
Ahsoka nodded, "You too Liliana take care of yourself and try to stay out of trouble for once".
Liliana shrugged one shoulder, "I'll try, but I'm afraid I can't promise anything".
Liliana followed Ahsoka back to the temple hangar sad to say goodbye yet again, but she still smiled as she stepped into the taxi speeder that would take her back to the space port. Ahsoka reminded Liliana to stay out of trouble as the taxi hovered off the ground the smuggler simply waved back feeling her heart sink a little as the temple quickly faded into the distance. Despite her playful flirting she truly wanted Ahsoka to go with her a vacation no matter how short wouldn't be any fun if there was no one to spend it with that's when her thoughts shifted from Ahsoka to Alexandra. The girl she met and saved on Corellia, kind, loyal and stunningly beautiful the kind of girl Liliana was weakest against. Liliana wrapped her hand around her chin wondering if Alexandra would be interested in joining her for a short trip very few people her age would pass up the chance to see another world.
Landing at the space port Liliana paid her driver and promptly returned to her ship telling Iron to set the hyper drive coordinates for Corellia. The astromech droid beeped irritably rolling to the navi computer and plugged in setting in the coordinates as Liliana dropped into the pilot's seat smirking as she told the droid to cut the back talk. The engines of the Forgotten Star slowly blazed to life the landing gear retracting as the ship hovered off the ground before the engines flared and the freighter zoomed in to the sky quickly passing the atmosphere and entering the great infinite void. Liliana looked back to Iron asking if the coordinates were set to which the steel colored astromech gave a sarcastic response. Liliana grabbed the lever to the hyper drive and pushed it forward and the thousands of stars around them cascaded into stretching lines of light seconds before the Forgotten Star catapulted forward into hyperspace.
"We've been heading home a lot more these days" Liliana said leaning back and kicking her feet up on the console.
Iron beeped again and shuffled back and forth on his legs.
"Yeah, yeah" Liliana replied to the droid, "I haven't forgotten. Its time to get you and Violet cleaned up. You'd better behave though or I'll have them give you a memory wipe in addition to a bath".
Iron remained silent as Violet entered the cockpit, "Liliana should I attempt to call Alexandra and inform her of our visit?"
Liliana shook her head, "No I'd like it to be a surprise, but do contact Hondo and ask him to meet us on Tython I still owe him that bottle".
"Understood" Violet said moving to the console to contact the Weequay pirate leader.
Reaching their destination Iron beeped breaking his silence and Liliana took her legs off the console sitting up and lowering the lever for the hyper drive. The background vanished in a flash of light returning them to the ocean of stars known as space with Corellia in view right ahead of them. Violet informed Liliana that Hondo had agreed to rendezvous with them on Tython within the next cycle. Landing the ship at the Coronet City Spaceport she left the safety of the ship to Violet and Iron before leaving. Paying the docking fee on her way out Liliana took a quick moment to prepare herself it had only been two days since she was last on Corellia, but the repairs around the city were only just beginning.
Coronet, the capital city of Corellia was hit the hardest during the Separatist attack and saw the most casualties in addition to the most destruction. The thought alone was enough to stir Liliana's anger thankfully restoration projects were well underway and even though she suffered a personal loss Liliana had gained something from the surprise attack. Taxi services had been exclusively contracted to aide in the restoration efforts leaving Liliana to walk from the spaceport to Alexandra's home thankfully that was only a few miles away. The immediate area surrounding the spaceport was only lightly damaged during the attack allowing the relief workers to move easily between the spaceport and their established HQ at city hall, but the rest of the city was heavily damaged from the attack. Liliana stopped in front of a large board with several lists printed on it after scanning her eyes over them she realized it was the first attempt at a memorial wall keeping track of and honoring those who had died in the attack.
There were easily a thousand names on the combined lists, "All of this for a fucking heist" Liliana growled clenching her fists, "All of these people…They had nothing to do with this. They need to pay for what they did those Separatist bastards are going to pay".
"Liliana?" someone gasped from behind her.
Turning around Liliana's eyes met with Alexandra's who had a surprised look on her face.
Alexandra ran over to her, "What are you doing back so soon?"
The anger in Liliana's mind quickly subsided when Alexandra ran over to her putting a smile on the smuggler's face, "I think the better question is what are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be at your home?"
Alexandra shook her head, "No I'm helping in the relief efforts. I'm not doing much, but I'm helping to survey the damage and determine where the crews should focus their efforts".
Liliana noticed the datapad in her hand with recorded data about a nearby mall that had been demolished, "I see that's great".
Alexandra beamed a smile to her as she lightly bounced on her feet, "Oh you'll never guessed what happened yesterday".
Liliana immediately laughed, "You sure are excited just calm down a bit".
Alexandra stopped bouncing and looked at the ground a bit embarrassed, "Sorry I'm just happy".
"Well out with it already" Liliana told her.
Alexandra looked back to her still smiling, "When I started surveying the mall this morning I heard something so I went to check. I heard crying coming from under some of the rubble and debris so I started digging and I found a baby".
Liliana's eyes widened in surprise as Alexandra kept going, "A baby girl aside from a few scratches she was ok".
"That's great" Liliana smiled, "What about her parents?"
Alexandra continued to smile, "We found them as well" he expression lessened a bit, "The baby's sitter didn't make it, we found her body a few yards away from her, but her parents are alive, Master Kota found them".
"Master Kota?" Liliana repeated, "Who's that?"
"He's a Jedi Master helping with the relief effort" Alexandra explained, "From what I understand he was returning form a mission in the Outer Rim with his private militia and decided to stop and help us here".
"It's good to know there are still some Jedi that care" Liliana said returning her eyes to Alexandra, "Speaking of Jedi remember Tython, the world Ahsoka and I told you about?"
Alexandra nodded, "The world that was the birthplace of the Jedi Order right?"
"Yep, I was thinking of heading back there for a couple of days. Relax a bit and maybe see if I can find some more artifacts. Want to come with me?"
"I can't" Alexandra replied quietly before blushing and looking away.
"What are you blushing for?" Liliana asked with a laugh, "I'm just inviting you to go on a short vacation with me. It would be good to get away from all of this for a couple of days wouldn't it?"
"That would be nice" Alexandra agreed, "But they need help here".
"Ms. Wolf" someone called out to Alex.
A tall dark skinned man in dirty, light brown armor came running over to them, "Master Kota would like to have a word with you. Please follow me".
"Oh that's right" Alexandra gasped, "I was coming back to turn in my survey report".
"Looks like someone's in trouble" Liliana said in a sing-song voice before laughing, "Maybe you shouldn't have gotten distracted".
Alexandra turned and lightly slapped her with the datapad, "It's your fault you should have told me you were coming back this soon".
Liliana laughed again, "Alright fine I'll take…ten percent of the blame".
The man in the armor turned to Liliana, "Ma'am you're not wearing a badge. Are you assisting in the relief effort?"
"Not at the moment" Liliana answered.
The soldier spoke firmly, "Then I'm afraid I'm going to have to escort you away from the area. Currently the entire district is off limits to anyone not assisting in the relief work".
Liliana grinned, "What's your name big guy?"
"I am Neil Rogers, sergeant of Rahm Kota's personal militia".
Liliana nodded, "Oh so you work with the Jedi? Good, since you're taking Alex to see him I would like to speak to him as well so please lead the way".
Leading Alexandra and Liliana to City Hall where the relief HQ was stationed the militia sergeant walked over to an older male human informing him that he had returned with Alexandra and a newcomer. Rising from his chair the white haired old man set his eyes on Alexandra and held his arms out.
"It's good to see you again Alexandra. What do you have to report?"
Alexandra stepped forward and handed him her datapad, "The damage to the immediate area around the mall isn't as bad as we initially thought. It seems most of its damage had been caused by a weakened foundation. If I had to guess the bombing made the foundation give way which led to the actual collapse, most of the shops in the mall are still intact no bodies have been found so I think it's unlikely that we'll find anyone else there".
"Good" the old man nodded turning his gaze to Liliana, "And who might you be?"
"Liliana Ashford" she answered, "I'm a friend of Alex".
He smiled at her, "So you're the one she was talking about. When I first arrived to aide in the relief efforts Alexandra told me she wanted to help so she could repay the person who saved her life. Her parents have also been very generous as well their donations toward the repairs and helping to take care of the wounded have been quite substantial".
Liliana made a quick glance to Alexandra, "So how is everything going so far?"
The old man sighed and locked his hands behind his back, "Not as fast as I'd like, but they are going quite well. Many of the locals are aiding in whatever way they can, but I'm afraid I must return to Coruscant to give my report to the Council so I will not be able to stay for much longer".
"Any idea how long everything will take?" Liliana asked him.
"Maybe a few weeks to clean up all the debris" he answered pacing, "As for complete repairs that could take a bit over a year".
Liliana stepped forward and held her hand out to him, "Well I thank you for helping my home Master Jedi".
He smiled and shook her hand, "You're thanks are unnecessary it is a Jedi's oath to help the people of the Republic whenever and however needed, but you're welcome".
Liliana stepped back glancing at Alexandra again, "Actually Master Kota there is something I would like to ask you".
"And what would that be?" the aged Jedi said sitting down again.
"I'm going to be taking a trip soon to Tython and I was hoping to take Alex with me. Think you'd be able to survive without her for a few days?"
Kota gave them an amused smile, "She has been a valuable worker, but I think we can manage if she took a few days off".
"I can stay if you need me" Alexandra told him.
The Jedi Master gave a hearty chuckle, "We will be fine Alexandra. You're still young you should be enjoying your youth while you can. We will manage without you go and have fun Tython is a beautiful world and the birthplace of the Jedi Order. There's a lot of history in that big marble I'm sure you're father would love the chance to go there as well".
"Love a chance to go where?" a voice asked from behind Liliana.
"Ah Mr. Wolf you're finally back" Kota said as Liliana and Alexandra turned around.
Standing in the doorway was Alexandra's father Ryan Wolf, a tall man standing easily at six feet. His green eyes met with Liliana's and he smiled stretching out his hand as he welcomed her back.
"Nice to see you again" Liliana said shaking his hand, "How is Cassandra?"
Alexandra's father straightened his tie, "She's fine now. All she needed was some rest. She's helping at the hospital right now I'm sure she'd be happy to see you again".
"As would I" Liliana said, "But I'm afraid my stay won't be for long this time. I'm going to be heading to Tython pretty soon and I wanted to invite Alex to join me".
"Tython" he hummed, "Isn't that the world where the Jedi Order first originated?"
"Indeed" Kota said, "Even after so many centuries and conflicts it remains a beautiful world that seems to ignore the growing conflict in the galaxy".
"You're right" Ryan nodded, "I would enjoy a visit to such a place".
Liliana slid her hands into her pockets, "Well I originally planned to only invite Alex, but you and Cassandra are welcome to join me".
"It is a tempting offer, but I must decline. I am directly funding most of the relief effort so my attention is required here".
Liliana concealed her smile as she looked at Alexandra through the corner of her eye, "Then would you mind if I took Alex with me?"
Ryan looked to his daughter who nervously met his gaze, "If you need me here" she began before looking away, "I can stay".
Her father quickly smiled at her, "If you want to go Alex you can. You're still young so go out and have some fun while you still can".
"Well I'd better go home and start packing then" Alexandra said to Liliana thanking her father and Master Kota before leaving with Liliana right behind her.
Once outside City Hall, Alexandra turned to Liliana, "So…how long is this trip going to be?"
"I was thinking a few days" Liliana answered before her tone changed to a more seductive one, "But it can last as long you want it to we can even explore other worlds and…places just the two of us".
Alexandra's face turned red and she looked away a nervous smile twisting its way across her face. Arriving at her home Alexandra led Liliana inside and up to her room so she could pack a change of clothes.
After entering the room Liliana closed the door behind them, "You need to learn to think before you act" Liliana said with a chuckle in her voice and a tease in her tone, "I did tell you what happened the last time I was invited into another girl's room didn't I?"
Alexandra's face turned red again and her shoulders visibly tensed up drawing closer to her neck and raising up. She didn't turn around to look at Liliana she kept her back to her unmoving as if she were completely frozen.
Liliana stepped over to her and another teasing, seductive whisper flowed from her mouth, "Or did you want us to be alone in here?"
Alexandra tensed up even more to the point her shoulders were hugging her neck, "I was just I mean I wasn't" Liliana began laughing at her fumbled words.
"Relax Alex I'm only teasing you".
Alexandra hugged her arms, "Are you going to treat me like this the whole time?"
Liliana smoothly ran her hand up Alexandra's back and over her shoulder to her front, "Not the entire time, but it is hard for me to control myself around someone so cute".
"Not helping" Alexandra said with a nervous shaking voice as her face grew brighter.
Liliana stepped back, "Sorry I'll stop…for now. What all do you want to take with you? I have a lot of room on my ship and if you like we can even visit other worlds if you want".
"I just need some extra clothes" she answered her face slowly returning to its normal color, "Although I wouldn't mind taking my holo recorder with me so I can take some pictures".
Liliana crossed her arms and tilted her hips to the side, "Well just tell me what you want to take and I'll help you get ready".
After they finished packing Alexandra and Liliana began walking back to the spaceport arriving after an hour's walk. The long walk was well worth it when they step inside the Forgotten Star though their feet were tired the rest they would be taking soon would be immediately followed by their landing on Tython. Alexandra contained her excitement as did her host though Liliana was overjoyed to have her company she kept her expression restricted to a casual smile as she fell back into the pilot's seat. Looking back to Iron as Alexandra sat in the co-pilot's seat she told the steel colored droid to enter the coordinates for Tython and warm up the hyper drive.
"Here we go" Liliana said grabbing the controls of the ship.
Alexandra tightly gripped the edge of the armrests as the ship hovered off the ground and the landing gear retreated into the ship. Bracing herself Alexandra closed her eyes and the freighter lunged forward flying into the atmosphere and into space. Once the momentum passed Alexandra released her imprisoned breath and stood up running to the window and looking back at Corellia.
"It's been a long time since I went off world" she said placing her hand against the window.
"Yeah?" Liliana asked looking over to her, "How long?"
"Almost eight years" Alexandra answered turning back to her, "My father had an investor on Coruscant so he took mom and me with him".
"Did you enjoy it?"
Alexandra nodded and quickly sat down again, "I did. It was a lot like Corellia, but I guess that's to be expected since both of them are city worlds".
"That's true" Liliana smirked as she reached for the hyper drive lever, "You may want to hold on we're about to make the jump to hyper space".
"Let's do it" Alexandra smiled.
Liliana gave her a quick suggestive look, "You may want to rephrase that".
Alexandra immediately realized what she meant and blushed falling silent as the ocean of stars around them cascaded into strands of light and the Forgotten Star lunged forward into hyper space its destination, Tython.
