(Jie's POV)

I didn't particularly have a destination in mind seeing as I know nothing about the moon and was basically blindly following Han earlier. I'm terrible. There was also no obvious sun seeing as this is the moon.

I grumble some profanities as I kick a rock and take off the annoying helmet. What am I supposed to do now? I think, tossing the helmet to the side. Walk around for hours hoping somehow I'll find the rebels or until someone, anyone, finds me? Yeah, that's a fantastic plan.

A few minutes later, I heard rustling not too far away from me. I ducked down behind the nearest bush and slowly took out my blaster. Then I saw a local, an Ewok. I put my blaster back in my belt, knowing that I wouldn't need it. But the thing I saw next shocked me. Leia was following him.

I abruptly stand in surprise. "Leia?" I inquired. Both the Ewok and Leia turn to me in shock.

"Jie?" Leia replied. "Jie!" The former princess smiled and I grinned back at the sight of a familiar face. "I'm so glad you're okay. Where's Luke?"

I walked closer and said, "I don't know. Last I saw was his speeder running into a tree. I doubt he's dead, but I haven't seen him since."

The Ewok said something and tugs on Leia's sleeve. She glanced down at him before telling me, "Come on. I think he's taking me to his tribe."

I looked over the furry creature questioningly. "Why?" I asked.

"Not a clue," she said honestly. "But I gave him food and now he likes me."

"Ah," I mused. "The perfect way to someone's heart. Food." Leia laughed a little and the little guy tugged on her sleeve again. "Alright, I guess we should go before he pulls your arm off like a Wookiee."

Leia and I followed the Ewok. Soon we came across the camp they stayed in. It is amazing. Houses in almost every tree with rope bridges connecting them all and ladders to the ground and to the ones even higher up in the trees.

We came across other Ewoks but eventually we were shoved into one of the houses with what seemed to be female Ewoks. One of the four was holding a cub. "They're so cute," I tell Leia as the females started hustling around the hut.

"I never thought I'd hear an assassin say that," she replied.

"Just because I'm an assassin doesn't take away from the fact that I know something is adorable when I see it," I stated. One of the Ewoks sat us down on some wood benches.

"What else do you think is cute?" Leia asks me. At first I wasn't sure what she was talking about, but she raised her eyebrows suggestively, so I knew she was talking about a man. The baby got set in a crib and it's mother joined the others in getting stuff. I wasn't sure what until I noticed cloth in their hands.

"I'm not after Han," I tell her. "He's all yours."

Leia rolled her eyes. "That's not who I'm talking about."

My eyebrows furrow as I scrunch up my face in confusion. Then it dawns on me. "Luke?" I ask incredulously. "You're talking about Luke?"

"Well, I'm certainly not talking about Lando," she states matter-of-factly.

"Gross. I haven't talked or even thought about guys that way since I was fifteen. I'm not going to start when we're in the middle of this. Whatever this is." I gesture to the four Ewoks making a few things from animal skin.

Two more Ewoks enter the hut as Leia says, "You'll have to start thinking about it sometime." The two new Ewoks then start messing with our hair. "What is going on?"

"I think they're trying to make us into one of them," I point out. Not too much later, mine and Leia's hair were done, and we were in new clothing made by the Ewoks most likely from animal skin. "This is so strange," I tell her. "I never thought I'd wear a dress again. Or even see you in a dress."

"I know, right?" Leia replies. Our other clothes were folded neatly in a pile on a wooden table.

Leia's long brown hair was left down and the front parts were braided with twine. Her dress is floor-length with short-sleeves, but she wore her white long-sleeve shirt under it. And the dress is light brown everything else. My hair was in a more complex braid than before. My dress is floor-length and short-sleeve as well, yet dark brown with three layers for the skirt.

I like them, believe it or not. Not just the dresses, but the Ewoks. They were cute, kind, and just looking out for themselves.
