I'd like to thank Bibliophile109 for the inspiration behind this drabble: you wanted to see something about Galen's childhood. Unfortunately, this didn't quite come out the way I originally had in mind, nor did it follow your idea, for which I apologize, but this is where my brain and fingers wanted to take me, and who am I to refuse them? Still, I feel both Galen and Juno are a bit OoC here, which I don't like, but I couldn't seem to make this work any other way. *huffs in frustration*
Review?
They are replacing PROXY's burned out holoemitters when she pops the question he's been waiting months for her to ask.
"How old are you?"
"Seventeen."
The hydrospanner ricochets off PROXY's torso with a deafening clang and skitters to a stop on the floor. "Seventeen."
He retrieves the hydrospanner and holds it out. "Yes."
"I... can't..." The words are whispered, but he can see molten anger beneath the crystal shards of her eyes.
She reaches for the hydrospanner, then latches onto his wrist. "Vader will die for what he's done to you."
He brushes a thumb across her knuckle. "For everything."
