Chapter 12
Good Luck
On their second day of living on the ship Dakota found Emily quieter and closer to him at times. When Dakota was working with a small problem with the hyperspace activator, Emily came in and gave him some lemonade.
"Where did you get this?" Dakota asked as he took the glass.
"I brought it in my bag. When we were at lunch two days ago I was about to make some but before I could, the droids took us away. So I put it in my pocket." Emily replied taking her glass then, she sat down beside Dakota who sat up to drink. "Do you think you could get Lauren and Reagan to believe you?" she asked after a few moments.
"Hey I got you and Ben, so I don't see why not." Dakota replied.
"Good luck." Emily said sighing.
"Why do you say that?" Dakota asked as Emily stood up.
"They don't believe crazy stuff like this, especially Reagan." Emily pointed out. "I should get going, Ben is probably wondering where I am. Bye." She said as she walked out.
Dakota sat there wondering about her. "Is she mine?" He thought as he sat there then shook his head "Nah, like she said good luck Dakota. Good luck with getting her." He thought then after sitting there for five minutes he went back to work. He finished up right as Ben called for dinner.
"We're having soba!" Ben said excitedly.
"Wow I never thought you like soba so much Ben."Dakota said chuckling.
As Dakota fallowed Ben down the hall to the mini dining room he found Travis tag along.
"Who's controlling the ship?" Dakota asked.
"It's on autopilot don't worry." Travis replied.
Dakota felt relieved to hear that. They all walked into the room where they were eating and sat down. The room was small, big enough to fit about ten people, with a stove, a fridge, and a microwave. The smell of soba flooded the room as Emily passed out the plates.
"Smells really good." Travis commented.
"It does but, don't complement me, its Ben you want to thank." Emily replied as she finished passing out the plates.
Ben got the pot and put it on the table then, he sat down next to Travis and Emily sat next to Dakota. They all bowed their heads and prayed and once they were finished they all fought for the spoon to get the soba out. After the little fight and everyone had some soba they started to talk about life as a jedi and Dakota went through all the procedures to become a master.
"Sounds hard." Ben said with a mouth full of soba.
"I only passed the first floor so far and I won the battle the first day I got there but, I think the higher floors will get harder." Dakota replied.
"It is…."Travis said putting down his plate gently. "Floors twenty through forty are extremely hard. I can't even pass forty-one and, floor fifty is just…unbelievable. It's that hard." Travis replied remembering his fail at floor forty-one. "But, I'm sure you guys will be able to do it." He said smiling.
He waved a quick bye and sped off to the control room.
"Well we should be arriving soon to the school so I should finish what I promised Travis. You guys should get your stuff ready for the school day tomorrow." Dakota said standing up. They nodded, stood up and went to their room. Dakota walked back to the engine room and got to work.
