Chapter 9 There was a storm on Hoth so fierce, that the Mellinium Falcon Ix4 could not land. Takara initiated a life reading scan and it came back negative. Still Rika insisted on landing and doing a thorough search of the planet. Rayne convinced him to follow through.
After two and a half hours the storm weakened to a point where they could decend through the atmosphere and land on the planet.
Rika said,"Its kinda late. I;m super tired shouldn't we stop and sleep?"
"Yeah Takara," Rayne said,"I think that it would be a good time to stop for today."
Takara shivered as he spoke,"Yes I see what you mean. Everyone grab your blankets, and lay out your beds, we're stopping here!"There was a hint of sarcastic enthusiasm in his voice.
Takara pushed a few buttons and with a bit of confusion involved the walls opened to show three small, compact rooms with retratable walls and doors, all in a row.
Rika said her goodnights and went to bed; without her usual protests.
Silently Rayne slipped into Takaras room."You wouldn't happen to have an extra blanket with you?'
He stared at her kind of blankly. "Nope, sorry," was all he said.
So Rayne went back to her room, and sat huddled in the corner. It was so cold she thought, and shivered. About an hour and a half later she was still awake.
Worried Takara came in and saw her shivering. He sat down in one corner and said,"I'm not expecting anything, but you can't go on being cold like that."
Rayne just nodded and sat down next to him. Takara pulled her in close and she laid her head on his shoulder, and she fell asleep soon after. He wraped his arms and the blamket around her. Before he fell asleep he thought to himself. she looks like an... angel. Then all was quiet; everyone on the mellinium Falcon Ix4 was sound asleep. Their dreams carrying them off on silver wings of memories, beating to the feint but vital rhythms of the force.
