Death Star: episode #29
Sandpeople
Previously:
Luke was introduced to Rhun, Marion,
Riana, and Nicole. The Sandstorm has stopped, so Owen goes to Coruscant. He also met hi grandfather, Summoner. I was then introduced. Samantha makes contact
with (I was about to write Anakin ha ha funny) the Rebels that know she's
alive. She will be going by a different name...Mon Mothma. Joseph and Biggs got away from their class.
Luke went to go to Anchorhead with us.
Luke then tried to find out about is
father through his cousins.
Bet
before either had time to answer, 2 people came in landspeeder.
"Hey,
guys."
They pull up beside him. Luke feels a little strange with his cousins.
Nicole is 6 years older than Luke, and Riana is 1 year older. This puts them at 24 and 19. Actually it's
Nicole that Luke feels strange about, since she's 6 years older. Luke hadn't really been placed in a position
where he had to converse with people much older besides his uncle and aunt. But
if Luke felt strange, I really did, since I didn't even know them and they were
older than I was. I judged Luke and I
to be about he same age...I hadn't asked him how old he was...but we were
probably within a year of each other. The two people go tout of their
landspeeders.
"These are my friends Joseph and
Biggs."
Nicole really didn't want to be with a bunch of 18 years
olds...she didn't know our ages, but she knew Luke was 18, so she pegged us all
at the same age.
Nicole says, "I think I'll go back now.
Come on, Riana."
So the two sister left leafing Luke, Biggs,
Joseph, and me.
"Who's this?" asks Biggs of
me.
I say so that Luke doesn't have to speak for
me again, "Well, I'm someone that he found, and I need to get back home.
I'm from another dimension. Luke's been kind enough to let me stay
with him until I can get back home."
Luke smiles.
Then Biggs says, "Where's the old
man?"
'Uncle Own? He went to go get a prescription for me on
Coruscant."
Joseph looks at
Luke like don't get near me; I don't want to catch what you have.
Luke says, "It's nothing...just my
inhaler...my asthma medicine. I ran out
of it last time I used it."
I look at him, "You ran out? How come you didn't' tell me that?"
Luke
says, shrugging, "I didn't want to worry you."
Then
Joseph says, "So your uncle's gone?"
Luke nodded.
Biggs smiled and said, "Want to go
racing in our landspeeders?"
Luke
says, "I'd love to...but if anything happens to it, I'll be in big
trouble."
One
thing neither Luke nor I noticed was that R2-d2 had followed.
Joseph says,
"You've got a droid?"
Luke
says, "What? Oh I found it. I suppose it can come too. We need to do this
before my uncle comes back."
What
about me?" I ask.
Luke says, "Care to ride along?"
"Sure."
I climb in with Luke's help and Biggs
and Joseph get in their speeders and we're off.
"Are we going back to that canyon
thing?"
Luke
says, "I don't know...wherever they want to go."
After a little following along, Luke leans
over to me and whispers, "looks like they're going to the Judland
wastes. I have an idea...
Luke presses on the accelerator and he turns
a hard right.
"I sure hope you know what you're
doing."
"So do I. There's a shortcut I'm trying to take here, but...crap..." he
stops the landspeeder.
"What is it?"
"You know I
think I'm lost. I'd thought it was
this way."
"What do we do now?"
"I don't know...just hope I don't have
an asthma attack.
"You think you
will?"
'No, but I don't know what's out here...and
if there's a sandstorm, I might. Lets'
see here..."
he takes out some binoculars.
"This isn't good..."
"What is it?"
"Bantha over there and, hey...where is that little droid.
There are Sandpeople out here that
could kill us or salvage a droid. I
wish... he stops.
"What is it
this time?"
"There's something over there. Let's check it out."
but as we start
heading in the direction, a sandperson pops out from the side and starts making
a noise.
Luke says, "Run!"
When I don't, he says, "don't'
worry about me, I've got a blaster."
I run, even though I'm worried about Luke.
R2-D2 takes shelter next to me. Luke
pulls out his blaster and the sandperson tries killing him with his stick. As
the sandperson raises it, Luke puts his blaster up instead of firing it out of
instinct and then faints. What this does is instead of break Luke's'
skull, which the blow would have if he hadn't put his blaster up and broke the
blaster. The sandperson thought Luke
was dead...he hadn't fainted on purpose, that too was out of instinct. I was scared. I didn't know if Luke was dead
or alive, and if he was dad, it would be my fault.
Until next time!
