Chapter 9: Journey
"Nathaniel?"
"S-sire" Nathaniel stuttered getting up as soon Edward immediately released him looking angry.
"It was you! It was you all along!"
Nathaniel gulped. "Sire I-I can explain-"
Edward now held his sword and Nathaniel's throat. "How do we get out of here! Tell me now!".
"The Q-Queen" Nathaniel chocked. "S-She can bring you back, Sire you have to trust me"
"You've already lost my trust!" Edward yelled.
Nathaniel smiled. "Let me guess... The chipmunk told you? Sire are you really going to believe that load of-".
"-His name is Pip and he is a loyal friend" Edward cut in sternly.
"Hey! what do you think you're doing?"
Edward whipped his head around to see Luke and Wedge (Who he didn't know) "This is none of your business peasant!" he snapped turning his attention back on Nathaniel.
"Edward, Don't!" Giselle cried rushing up to him.
"He's a traitor"
"I know that Edward, but he might be the only hope we have of getting home".
Edward sighed and released him. Luke and Wedge watched the scene take place with total confusion. After a few minutes, Luke finally smiled "Hey, I'm Luke. Giselle I don't think we were properly introduced".
Giselle smiled back. "Hello Luke, I saw you earlier".
Luke nodded. Wedge felt uncomfortable around her. He had joined in with his fellow pilots earlier in the laughter. "I'm Wedge" he mumbled.
Giselle smiled brightly and clapped her hands in delight. "Oh! It's so wonderful to meet you both, I'm sure we're going to be good friends!".
Wedge seriously thought this woman was cookoo on the head!
Luke smiled. "Listen, I just talked to Han and Leia and we've decided to try and help you two get back".
Edward smiled. "Luke is it? anyway I appreciate what your doing, but we can figure this out ourselves"
"Edward! He might be able to help us" Giselle said desperately.
Edward sighed, he did want to go home anyway. "Ok" he replied finally agreeing. If this Luke could help, he would just go with it.
The next day Luke went over to check on the fairytale couple. He noticed a few curtains ripped out frowning he heard humming. "Giselle?" He stepped in and gasped droids were everywhere! Cleaning!
Giselle: All right everyone, time to tidy things up
Come my little friends
As we all sing a happy little working song
Merry little voices clear and strong
Come and roll your sleeves up
So that we can pitch in
Cleaning crud up in the kitchen
As we sing along
And you'll trill a cheery tune in the tub
As we scrub a stubborn mildew stain
Lug a hairball from the shower drain
To the gay refrain
Of a happy working song
We'll keep singing without fail
Otherwise we'd spoil it
Hosing down the garbage pail
And scrubbing up the toilet
Ooh!
You could do a lot when you got
Such a happy little tune to hum
While you're sponging up the soapy scum
We adore each filthy chore
That we determine
So friends even though you're vermin
We're a happy working song
Singing as we fetch the detergent box
Or the smelly shirts and the stinky socks
Sing along
If you cannot sing then hum along
As we're finishing our happy working song!
Ah...wasn't this fun?
Luke remained in shock as Giselle finished the song. All the droids went out of the room and began doing their usual work. Luke noticed Giselle was wearing a dress made out of the curtains ripped out. "Oh! Good morning Luke!" Giselle said brightly. "I hope you had nice dreams"
'I think I'm still in one' Luke thought, he chuckled. "Listen um... we gotta go somewhere. Tell Edward and Nathaniel to get ready".
"Ok!" Giselle said cheerfully. Luke liked her personality, she was one of those girls that were happy all the time. It took stress of his mind seeing her smile.
"What is this?" Edward demanded drawing his sword as he entered the hangar with Han to find a large 'beast'
Han smirked. "Relax preety boy, she's harmless."
Edward frowned. "She?"
Han nodded. "The Millenium Falcon. We've been through a lot together." he said explaining with grin.
Edward stood staring at the massive ship with total confusion. To break to awkward silence Han chuckled nervously. "You comin' or what?"
Edward nodded slowly and nervously made his way inside the spaceship (Of course, he didn't know what it was)
Giselle, Nathaniel, Leia and Luke were already inside. Giselle staring at her surrounding with curiosity.
"we're ready?" Leia asked.
Han nodded with a grin.
"Wedge's also joining us." Luke suddenly added.
Han was about to react when Luke again cut him off. "We don't have to wait for him. He said he'll meet us there."
"Where are we going?" Leia asked.
"Cloud City." Luke replied.
