"Four thousand."

Leia let the words soak in for a moment. "Just, four thousand?" they were in a used speeder lot not far from the alley where they had hidden the droids were. Ben stood at the front of the entryway, seemingly on watch from possible troopers, who would stand out from the normal grind of a day in Mos Eisley. Leia had thought about what the Prince had called him, 'General.' She figured it suited him, and yet at the same time found it humorous that Old Ben was now her defacto guardian slash bodyguard. Biggs would die from laughter if he knew that.

She was speaking with the head dealer, who loomed over her with his insect type body. "it is the best I can do." He motioned to the speeder, her pride, her joy. The one thing she had left of Owen.

"it is a XP-34, no?"

"An XP-34! Owen!" Leia cried as she rushed towards the speeder, then with a fresh coat of paint on the body.

Owen chuckled as he watched Leia inspect it, "but this is the newer model! Its worth…" Leia started to mentally count how much it was before Owen walked over to her, a large smile consuming most of his face.

"I had a old school friend on the other side of Anchorhead who gave me a nice deal for it." He hugged her, "I told him my girl had to have the nicest landspeeder, or at least one that she could drive back to Achorhead and back without breaking down. Happy Birth-Day."

Leia hugged back. "I love you Uncle Owen."

"Your Father would have been so proud." She heard him whisper.

Leia nodded. "It was used but in good condition. I've kept it up to date with everything sir."

The creature nodded. "Yes well…that was some years ago. The XP-38 came out a few months back, and this…" he motioned toward the speeder, "is basically a…how you say, training speeder?"

"A XP-34!" Biggs cried as he approached the speeder. "Your Uncle is spoiling you! My old Man won't even let me drive his old XP-21!"

Leia giggled to herself as Biggs jumped over into the passenger side. "What you say, want to drive to the service station in style!"

"Will Fixer wet himself in front of Camie if he sees this, Hell Yes!" Biggs punched the sky, "Lets go Skywalker!"

"Time is a terrible enemy, isn't it?" the Dealer noticed as he slid over the credits, "one moment you are young, the next you are wishing for death."

"Thank you." Leia muttered as she collected the credits, before walking over to where Ben stood. He came to attention as she pulled out the credits to show to him. "Four thousand for the last thing I have of Owen."

She could sense Ben was please. She knew he expected more for the speeder; after all it was still in good condition. "he said the newer model, the XP-38-" Ben began stroking his beard, as though she was reading to him a mission statement and he was thinking of how to escape in the off chance he got caught during said mission, "basically made my speeder be the student driver speeder, instead of a actual useful speeder."

Ben sighed and looked around for a moment before nodding his head. "Well lets see, fifteen hundred plus the four thousand plus mine…it will be enough."

"Are you sure?"

Ben smirked. "My dear, we were going to leave on that ship no matter what." He motioned calmly towards his weapon before hiding it behind his robe. "Now let us leave."

As they began to leave the speeder lot, Leia felt something in her bones and a chill down her spine. Someone was following them! "Ben…" she almost froze but Ben wouldn't let her. He linked her arm in his and kept moving. "You felt it too?" he asked in a whisper. "is this force powers?"

"Yes my dear." He said, moving her down a different alleyway, "I fear your powers are just as strong and as raw as your fathers. He did not train until he was nine but you…the Troopers that came to your farm."

Leia nodded. "Dead. Something came over me Ben. It was nothing like I ever felt before…"

"We'll have to make up for time on the ship. But first we must lose whoever is tracking us." They turned and found that this alley way could go left and right. "Right brings you to docking bay. Remember, Captain Solo's ship is nighty four, hurry."

"Ben, where are-"

"To get the droids, I'll meet you at the ship. And remember, don't look back."

With that, Leia turned right and Ben turned left. Leia pulled up her cloak and began to walk. Quickly, she stayed to the shadows, going quickly in different directions before finally jumping behind an abandoned stall. Just barely peaking over, she saw a figure walk to the stall and stop. It was alien, Leia was certain, for it had a large snot that ended just above its lips. It adjusted the black hood that covered its head before pulling out a communicator of sorts and speaking into it. It sounded similar to the droid language with its 'beeps and boops.'

"Did you find the girl and man yet?' a royal voice came from the communicator.

The alien answered in a negative tone.

"Well keep in that area, they won't be separated for long.'

The alien beep.

'The girl is dangerous than she looks; she took out a large squadron of troopers today. Basic questioning gone wrong it seems. The old man is a former general and is likely aiding her: Anyway, Vader thanks you for your corporation and aid during these terrible times. The recent attack by the rebels has frustrated him greatly. Keep at it and contact us when you see them next."

The alien buzzed a reply and turned off the communicator, before moving back in the direction it had come in. Once Leia could sense it was gone she quietly stayed in the shadows as she moved towards her destination.
