Pairing: Ginny/Luna
Prompt: space
This was all Luna's fault, Ginny thought, running down the corridor with blaster fire whizzing past her ears. To be fair, it had been Ginny's idea to take George's new experimental spacecraft for a spin, but it was definitely Luna's fault that they had ended up as smugglers – and not even particularly lucrative ones! It was just that Luna couldn't resist to help anyone that was in genuine need, and Ginny couldn't resist doing anything that made Luna happy.
Even if it ended up with her getting shot at by weirdly dressed aliens in a galaxy far, far away from the one they were born in.
She rounded another corner, and finally burst into the control room, where Luna had been waiting for her, surrounded by the Stunned bodies of the crewmen.
"Come on!" Ginny yelled, grabbing Luna's hand and risking a moment to cast her eye back at the aliens with bad aim.
"Did you get it?" Luna asked as they ran, simultaneously pulling her wand out and throwing up a shield to deflect the blaster fire.
"One Mesulthusean Sparkling Rainbow egg, packaged up and secure," Ginny said, flashing a smile at her, and patted the bag slung around her shoulders.
"Brilliant," said Luna, as they dove to squeeze through the set of giant metal doors to the hangar. With a loud clang, the doors shut behind them, conveniently cutting off their alien pursuers. Ginny and Luna shared a smile of success and dashed towards their ship.
"They're not gonna follow us, right?"
Luna shook her head. "They'll need a new warp core and hyperdrive."
"I'm fairly certain neither of those are real things," Ginny said, handing her bag to Luna and taking the pilot's seat, flipping the switches to power it up. "But do tell me what other surprises you left them with."
She knew Luna had done something; her girlfriend was looking far too smug as she carefully put the egg away in the incubator. Somehow, Luna even managed to walk gracefully over to the co-pilot's chair while Ginny was accelerating the ship out of the hangar and into deep space.
"Well, from now on, their replicators will only produce plimpy soup and pumpkin juice."
"Merlin, Luna, I love you!" Ginny laughed, and Luna smiled back innocently.
"Why, because I'm looking out for everyone's digestive health?"
"Yes, exactly."
