*Review for a shoutout! It will help the reviewer and myself out a fair bit.
*These chapters will take a lot longer now.
For the entirety of the week, us rebels decided to take a break from fighting the Empire. And for good reason, as the Empire was tied up with pirates elsewhere in the Outer Rim, because the pirates had taken advantage of the Empire's setback here at Yavin. Autonomous time, eh. I kinda need that for today. Upon seeing Lanywe, I kiss her, and tell her that I need to talk to her about something. Consenting, she walks with me towards an empty corridor. Then I decide to put my plan in action. I kneel down in front of her, and I begin speaking.
"You mean everything to me. Love for you makes me blind. Love is what makes us perfect together. Throughout my life, you have showed so much support for me when I was down, and I could never reciprocate in turn. Without you, life would be completely meaningless. Lanywe Alterf, will you marry me?" I reveal a ring I picked up from one pilot in another squadron, concealed in a small black box. I already have mine on, but my pilot gloves cover them.
"Yes!" Lanywe basically screams, which attracts a few looks. With an urgent fervor, she slips the ring on, and locks me in an embrace, crying into my chest. I notice that pilot who gifted me the ring in the hangar bay looking at us, flashing me a thumbs up. I reciprocate, and return to the passionate embrace. When we finally end, we kiss each other with more passion than ever before. We stay fixated in that position for ten solid minutes. After we break the kiss, we jointly decide to talk to our troops.
My squadron members are doing questionable acts. Procyon, Eviscerator Three, is staring into space, likely fantasizing of the day that he will lose his virginity. Talitha, the only female in my squadron, Eviscerator Four, is "fixing" her damaged X-Wing, despite ruining it in the process. Sonade, the guy from Christophis, is loudly shouting for a fifth of jet juice. Asfen, the pilot from Naboo, is actually doing something productive, and is staring at Imperial vehicle schematics.
"Everybody, please come over. I have some important news that needs to be shared," I announce. Complying, the rest of my squadron comes over. "So recently, just now, really, I got engaged." The guys look at each other, and appear passive, neither supportive nor unsupportive. They don't understand, I guess, until they begin whooping and cheering. Guess they really cared.
As the sun sets, Lanywe and I sit on a ledge overlooking the wide, thick forests of Yavin IV. "Sometimes I look back on our first days on Kebleshan, and in the Empire. That was, what, four years ago? So little time has gone by. Afraid too much is happening," I tell Lanywe. "Don't worry. We'll always be together. No matter what." We kiss in the beautiful sunset.
