The Starship
Lyra groaned as she heard a small, beeping noise. She forced her eyelids to open, and tried to wipe the crust from it, before remembering that she was sort of in restraints. Sighing, she wondered where the strange beeping was coming from when a white and orange droid appeared, popping up out of practically nowhere.
Lyra had seen this style of droid before, of course. It was R2-D2's sort of cousin or something. The droid beeped in happiness, as Lyra stared it at, completely dumbfounded.
"Ummm... Hi." Lyra whispered as the droid kept on beeping. Lyra half wished, she had her phone or something so she could use Google Translate. Did they even have the droid language on it? She would have to google that.
"Who are you?" Lyra asked as the droid continued to beep, excitment running through its circuits.
Lyra decided it either said, 'Hi, my name is (blank)' or 'I hate you'. Either way, she still didn't know what its name was.
"Umm... I'll call you Orange." Lyra finally said. Somewhere behind the one way mirror, Darth Vader sighed. Her memory didn't click yet. She didn't know who she was.
"Did mean old Vader put you put to this?" Lyra asked the droid. He beeped something back, which was either;
'Yup, and he's not old!' Or 'Potato is a funny word'
Lyra guessed it was the first one.
"Darth Vader is very old, Orange." Lyra said matter-of-factly. "Now, why are you here? To torture me? To get information out of me? If you are, well then, you came to the wrong girl. I don't know nothing about the Rebels and whatnot. Those jerks never tell em anything!" Lyra grumbled the last part as, suddenly, a hologram played from Orange.
Lyra saw a girl, with the same dark brown curls as her. She was five, Lyra guessed, and had the the same facial shape as well, just a little bit chubbier. She had two dolls in her hands, one was a Jedi, one was a Sith, and she was talking. She rambled on and on, Lyra didn't exactly regonize the voice. Too soft and innocent. She made the two fight eachother, and the Sith said... Lyra, maybe? Lyra shook her head, a coincidence. This couldn't be real.
When the hologram faded, Darth Vader walked into the room.
"Now do you believe that you were once my child?" Darth Vader asked as Lyra smirked.
"I believe that you are fairly good at Hologram-shopping, you know, like photoshopping." Lyra responded. Lyra wouldn't believe Darth Vader, because the whole idea of Darth Vader being her father was simply unlogical. Darth Vader stormed out of the room, mad. He would need to find another way to convince his daughter that he was, indeed, her father.
***BACK TO LUKE***
"Hey, Luke, whatcha doing?" Leia asked Luke as he began working on his lightsaber techniques.
"Shhh. I'm training to have an ultimate battle with my father which will happen in the next movie!" Luke complained as Leia raised an eyebrow.
"You actually train for that? I thought you just called yourself a Jedi Master and called it a day." Leia pointed out when Luke shrugged.
"Hey, you guys, I'm going out to McDonalds! You want anything?" Caroline suddenly said. Everyone stared at her as she shrugged.
"What're you guys staring at?" Caroline asked when they all adverted their eyes.
"Sure, give me a large serving of fries." Leia said as Luke nodded.
"I'll have the Happy Meal." He said as Caroline smiled.
"Sure, be back in ten!" She walked to the first ship she saw, The X-Wing Fighter, and booted it up before flying away.
"How did you make that lightsaber anyway?" Leia asked Luke. He laughed.
"You thought I actually made this thing? I ordered it on E-Bay, they weren't kidding when they said they did international shipping." Leia nodded at that and stared at it.
"So that's, like, a legit ligthsaber?" She asked. "Wouldn't that cost, like, thousands of credits." Luke shrugged. "Where'd you get the money?"
"Well, the Rebellion's credit card was already logged in, so..." Leia widened her eyes.
"You payed for that ligthsaber using our bank account!" She screamed as Luke waved it off.
"Oh come on, Leia. You guys are rich." Leia held her head with her hands.
"C-3PO is going to be so angry!" She whined.
"He does the financing?" Luke asked, surprise evident in his face.
"Duh." Leia replied and for a moment, it was silent. "Are you ever going back to that Yoda guy?" Leia finally asked.
"That's for the next movie, Leia."
***BACK TO CAROLINE***
Caroline searched the GPS for a McDonalds and sighed when she saw that it was all the way in another star system. Why couldn't they have more convienent locations? She sighed and left for McDonalds. When she arrived a few minutes later, she went through the drive through and ordered her food. She ate up her meal before realizing that she was still thristy and got some Starbucks, which was in another star system.
When she got her Freappacino, she started back for the Rebel ship. It went on hyperspace for a few seconds, before it stopped, leaving Caroline int he middle of nowhere. Something let out an anonying beep.
"Oh, come on!" Caroline whined when she saw the icon. No Hypermatter, which was the gas in star wars (or at least that's what Google said) The last person to use this jet was Luke, when he went to pick up his ligthsaber from E-Bay. He couldn't have it sent directly to the Rebel ship, for security reasons, and obviously, he didn't refuel it.
"Darn you, Luke." Caroline cursed as she picked up her radio.
"Luke, Leia, someone come in." Caroline whined. She waited for a few minutes, nobody responded. "You guys, I am sort of stuck in the middle of nowhere. Sending my coordinates now." It was then when Caroline realized that she had no idea what the sending coordinates button was.
She didn't press the red one, since that was the eject button (or the self destruct one). She knew the triggers weren't it either. The radio button obviously wasn't it. Which narrowed it down too... about eighty other buttons. Caroline never understood why a ship needed so many buttons. Like, seriously, the ship designers made it to be confusing.
Eventually, she finally found the coordinates button. After sending the coordinates, did someone finally pick up.
"Caroline? Come in Caroline." A voice said. Caroline pressed the button.
"Luke, is that you?" She asked.
"Yeah. We'll come ASAP. Hand tight." He replied as Caroline mumbled.
"Not like I have a choice."
Caroline amused herself with some games with herself, before looking on her radar for any ships to come and help her. Nothing. She waited for a minute before checking it again, and to her surprise, a huge ship was approaching. It was coming out of hyperspace. Caroline raised an eyebrow. Perhaps Luke brought a big ship.
Then, a Starship came, floating majestically through the space. And it opened its tractorbeam, slowly bringing Caroline towards them. Caroline frantically pressed all the controls she had, but absolutely nothing worked. When her ship landed inside the STarships's humongous landing bay, Stormtroopers surrounded it. Caroline gave her best smile, when on the inside, she was shaking, before holding up her McDonald's bag.
"Happy Meal anyone?"
***S'up***
