(AN: Nothing really to say. I got made fun of by a couple jerks at school for liking The Greatest Showman and then my principal roasted everyone by saying P.T. Barnum's autobiography is his favorite book and then we had a conversation about The Greatest Showman and P.T. Barnum. Then our drama club acted out This Is Me for no reason except we we're bored and that made my day.)

"Leianna?"

Leianna wiped tears away from her face angrily, Asher panted and tried to catch up with her as she walked. They were miles away from the base by now.

"Go away." She said, he groaned and walked in front of her, stopping her.

"What's wrong? Where are you going?" He asked. She walked around him.

"I'm finding a ship and leaving here." She stated coldly. Asher's face fell. Leianna briefly remembered that she was his only friend.

"Why?" Asher looked concerned. She huffed.

"General Organa, that's why" She spat. Asher looked confused.

"What happened?" He questioned.

Leianna sighed and stopped walking to catch her breath. She sat in the grass.

"She said my dad never loved me." She muttered. Asher raised an eyebrow.

"I think he did. You probably wouldn't be alive if he didn't." Asher said simply, sitting beside her.

Leianna smirked and laughed a little.

"I guess that's one way of viewing it." She said, Asher laughed slightly and looked to his left.

"The city should be about two miles that way. All we have to do is walk through those forest. The people say it is cursed."

"The city or the forest?" She asked curiously. Asher smiled.

"The forest. They say a beast lives in them and eats anyone who enters."

"How do you know?" She asked, Asher shook his head.

"When we first moved to this base my dad said no one would find us because the only city in about one hundred miles won't cross over or through the forest." Asher explained. She nodded and stood up.

"Well then, I will be going that way I guess. You should go back to base, it will be getting dark soon." She started walking, he walked with her.

"Where will you be going when you get a ship?" Asher asked, Leianna shrugged.

"Back to my dad, I guess. He gave me an untraceable credit chip with more than enough money to buy a ship, before I left." She explained.

"I'm coming with you, at least until you get a ship." Asher protested. Leianna shook her head.

"You belong here, with the Resistance and your family." She said, he shook his head.

"The Resistance is no place for me. I don't want to be a fighter... or a Jedi for that matter, and my family... my family has ideas about my life that I don't want." He trailed off.

"What do you mean?" She asked. He grinned.

"I want to be a performer, a circus master or something." He said, she smiled slightly.

"I can see you doing that." She said, he grinned and bowed.

"My parents don't, neither does Luke." He looked upset.

"I don't want to be a light or a dark side user either, but I never really thought that force users could be anything else." She said, he nodded.

"If you could be anything what would it be?" He asked, she shrugged.

"I don't know." She sighed, looking around the forest. It seemed like a normal forest to her, no signs of any beast.

"I'm going the city with you!" He said softly, but firmly. She exhaled quickly. She was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"I'm not going to argue. Come on."
