I'm so sorry that I haven't updated any of my Star Wars Rebels fics, and please be nice about this chapter, I haven't written anything like this in a long time.
Ezra grabbed his sister's hand, trying to pull her back from where she had almost fallen over, straight into the water. The young girl had almost fallen into the water, thanks to being pushed by some drunk guy who was way to impatient to look where he was going and watch out for the God.
This was one of the many things that Jinx hated about humans, they were so greedy. When she was comparing something to humans, she would use the chess analogy.
They saw themselves as the king, and everyone else around them was expendable. Not only did the young goddess realize that the king was the worst piece in the entire chess set, but it is the only one that has to die….
The young bridger shot a glance towards Ashoka, who was currently trying to enjoy herself with a small glass of one.
The tipsy woman suddenly looked over at Ezra and noticed Jinx, before hurrying over to the two to help them out.
"Well, finally. What on earth are you doing Ashoka?" Jinx asked, brushing herself off before rubbing her now sore wrists.
The trio were on their way to Europe, at some place called 'Eday' where they would find the next piece. The island itself was rather large, and didn't have much population, which would have made it a great place to hide something.
"Well, trying to enjoy myself, since we are probably going to take a while at this 'Eday,' if that woman was even correct which," Ashoka's voice dropped a few pitches, "Isn't probably very trustworthy, considering that she is a human, and probably has no idea what we are talking about, or the fact that you two are Gods that control every little thing possible,"
Jinx stole a glance at Ezra, who was nodding thoughtfully. Jinx smiled at the thought of whatever was going through her smarter, older, and more experienced brother's head.
It was clear that, between the two of them, Ezra was the better sibling. He was a boy, the fan favourite, he was smart, he had experience, he was responsible and he was older than Jinx, who was untrustable. She was reckless, did things without a moment's hesitation and didn't bother to understand any of the context behind anything.
In other words, the only reason anybody ever liked her was because of her amazing brother, and Jinx would admit that she was often very jealous of him (not out loud of course,) and, just like Ezra, Jinx was not originally a God, she had characteristics similar to a humans.
"Jinx, are you okay?" Ezra's voice cut through her, snapping the young female god out of her thoughts.
"yeah, just a little annoyed at someone, who may have just almost sent me falling into the ocean, so totally fine,"
Ezra rolled his eyes and Ashoka gave her a 'and who could that be?" glance.
"Look, I said that I was sorry, you probably just didn't hear it. Wait, of course you didn't, you're Jinx, so of course you didn't hear it. You never hear anything."
With that, Ashoka walked away, leaving a shock Jinx and Ezra in her wake. The younger bridger began to tear up as Ezra turned to his sister.
"Yeesh, I wonder what her problem is. Jinx, don't listen to Ashoka. She is being, well, she is being, well, with a lack of better word, a bitch,"
Ezra watched as his foul language got a small smile out of her, the young girl was at least smiling again, which was probably a good sign for the older male.
When she was upset, Jinx was hard to get to smile without some encouragement. The female was, well, a female and she sometimes proud of that, but she often found that it got in the way of her life. Though, she'd never want to be a stinky boy like Ezra was.
"Ezra, this is random, but what is it like to have a crush?" Ezra stared at his sister with a baffled look on his face, earning a small, but still a laugh, laugh from Jinx.
He was glad that she trusted him enough to ask him for help on something, even if it was completely and utterly random.
"Well, you are right, that is a very random question. I suppose that it is like when your heart goes all, like it just about hammers a tattoo against your chest and you feel like every little thing that you do is silly around the person that you have a crush on and you just want to kiss them all the time and, well yeah,"
Jinx smiled and looked at her brother, her bangs covering her eyes.
"Why though? I mean, you can ask me whatever that you want, but that is an extremely random question,"
"Because, because I have a crush on…..Ashoka,"
Ezra gasped, staring at his sister with wide eyes, who looked very sheepish, yet a little bit happy at the fact that she had managed to confide something within her brother.
"That means, that means that you are…" "gay, I know."
Ezra smiled at his sister, grabbing her hand and squeezing it ever so slightly.
"well, just know that I will be here to protect and help you no matter what, okay? I love you so much Jinx-y, and I never want to see you hurt or anything like that, I promise, okay? I love you so, so much,"
"You are my brother, you kinda have to, but I love you to….."
"I know, but you should really tell her how you feel, I mean you two are only a couple or years apart, eight or nine I think, so you guys could end up together without it being pephodille or whatever that word is… I guess that what I am saying is that you should totally go for it Jinx.."
Jinx smiled at her brother, knowing that he was there to support her no matter what. After all, what were brothers for?
"thanks Ez, I'll keep it in mind. Oh and by the way, did you know that Hera and Kannan are about four hundred years apart, give or take?"
Ezra let out a small laugh as he looked at his sister, who was now smiling from ear to ear, the happier young girl was also laughing. Back home at SWR, as the young teenagers often called their home dimension, love didn't matter about age, gender, a race, or any other stupid thing that humans, well some humans judged it on.
"You know, I think that this calls for some kind of song, what do you think? I'll let you choose and you can do it by yourself if you want," Ezra suggested, and Jinx nodded her head, telling her older brother that she wanted to do this by herself
"yeah, I think that I would like that. I mean, it would cheer me up a little and anything that cheers Jinx and Ezra bridger, the Bridger siblings up is awesome! I mean, if it makes you happy, then why not, huh? It only makes so much sense to some people…."
"This is an anthem for the homesick, for the beaten,
The lost, the broke, the defeated,
A song for the heartsick, for all the standbys,
Living life in a shadow of a goodbye,
Do you remember when we learned how to fly?
We'd play make-believe; we were young and had time on our side.
You're stuck on the ground,
Got lost, can't be found.
Just remember that you're still alive.I'll carry you home.
No, you're not alone.
Keep marching on,
This is worth fighting for,
You know we've all got battle scars.You've had enough,
But just don't give up.
Stick to your guns,
You are worth fighting for.
You know we've all got battle scars.
Keep marching on.This is a call to the soldiers, the fighters,
The young, the innocent, and righteous.
We've got a little room to grow.
Better days are near,
Hope is so much stronger than fear.So if you jump, kid, don't be scared to fall.
We'll be kings and queens in this dream, all for one, one for all.
You can light up the dark,
There's a fire in your heart,
Burning brighter than ever before.I'll carry you home.
No, you're not alone.
Keep marching on,
This is worth fighting for,
You know we've all got battle scars.You've had enough,
But just don't give up.
Stick to your guns,
You are worth fighting for.
You know we've all got battle scars.
Keep marching on.On and on, like we're living on a broken record.
Hope is strong, but misery's a little quicker.
Sit, and we wait, and we drown there,
Thinking, "Why bother playing when it's unfair?"They say life's a waste, I say they lack belief.
They tell me luck will travel, I tell 'em that's why I've got feet.
Left, right, left, right,
Moving along to the pulse of a heartbeat.This could be the last chance you have to fly.
Do you like the ground? Want it to pass you by?
Man, you had it all when you were just a kid.
Do you even remember who you were back then?What do you want in life? Will you be twice as strong?
What would you sacrifice? What are you waiting on?
Don't stop, march on.I'll carry you home.
No, you're not alone.
Keep marching on,
This is worth fighting for,
You know we've all got battle scars.You've had enough,
But just don't give up.
Stick to your guns,
You are worth fighting for.
You know we've all got battle scars.
Keep marching on.Keep marching on."
Jinx smiled, finishing her lullaby, barely noticing as Ashoka walked up to her and put her hand on the younger female's shoulder.
"Look, Jinx, I'm sorry about earlier, wine does silly things to your brain and I am so sorry, but I just wanted you two to know that we are here, and awesome song by the way,"
Ashoka smiled and turned to Ezra, who smiled back at her and tossed her a small, but almost cheeky glance as he watched Ashoka pull Jinx into a slight hug, watching as his little sister's eyes widened slightly as Ashoka pulled her tightly into the hug, before the young woman hugged her back.
Ezra watched as his little sister watched Ashoka walk away, waiting until the older woman was out of view before giving a giant punch into the air, smiling from ear to ear in happiness.
"you know, I think that for now, I just want to remain friends with her. That way I can get to know her a bit more, okay? I mean I love you and I think that your advice is great, but for now I would just like to remain friends before I tell her how I feel about her, because Ashoka is a wonderful friend and I might ruin it by telling her, and I think that by now you know what I mean, right, ez?"
Ezra nodded, staring straight at his baffled sister who suddenly, without any warning what-so-ever, gave him a diving hug, causing him to topple backwards onto the cold, hard wood of the floor of the ferry, ship thing that they were currently on.
Jinx and Ezra both smiled as they heard the next words that the announcer said over the radio thing attached to the sides of the ship.
Ezra slightly pulled his sister into a cross between a cuddle and a hug, the two of them more than excited at the fact that the next piece of their quest was almost complete, meaning that sooner rather than later, they would return home and be able to re-commune with every friend and 'family member that they had.
"And now folks, to the front of our wonderful little ship, you will see the large, but scarcely populated island of Eday, meaning that we have successfully arrived at out destination.
So, so, sorry for not updating sooner, I've been busy with a next generation gravity falls project, and I have had barely anytime to update this. I'll try and get a couple more chapters in, but school is really annoying and gets in the way of my story updating.
*Looks at the word count of chapter* at over two thousand words, I hope that this makes up for ever single time that I haven't updated over the last couple of months (!)
The song is 'Battle Scars by Paradise fears'
I'm also official a teen (well, I was a couple of months ago, but..) so I've kinda got a lot of stuff going on without having to update my story? and by putting a swear in my story without a censor, I feel so rebellious? won't do it ever again, I promise.
I'm sorry if the crush thing doesn't reflect something that happened to you, but I got my first crush on a girl that goes to school with me a couple of months ago, and that is kinda what it felt like for me, so *fist bumps Jinx* girls forever!
If you want to support me, or like GF or SVTFOE, come say high to me on deviantart, I'm estelariatherebel, just put deviantart dot com after it and you should be able to find me. I don't post much SWR stuff there, (never have, actually) but, Support=happy star, happy star=more updates.
