"I got this Sophie, I'll do the talking. We're in the market for a sith trooper helmet. You happen to have one of those?" Annaween asked
The pirates looked around and saw some battle droids walking nearby.
"Not here, meet at our ship at the end of the station" said the captain
The kids did as the pirate captain asked and met at a small freighter docked at the end of the station. The pirates tore open a crate to reveal a red and black helmet, the helmet of a sith trooper.
"I got the helmet ye seek Halloween girl, I just need ye to sign some paperwork" said the captain
"That's it? No money or anything?" Annaween asked
"Arr, it's just a standard pirate contract. Everything will make sense once signed" said the captain
The captain handed her a contract which she promptly signed without reading it. The captain gave her the helmet, but the pirates stunned Sophie with blasters and quickly brought her aboard their ship before taking off into space.
"Anna, what did you do? What did you just sign?" Petermint asked
Annaween looked closely at the contract.
"I, Annaween Orangeboar, in exchange for this sith trooper helmet, give my friend Sophie Shaw to the space pirates in return for a bounty from the Haxion Brood"
"The Haxion brood? Isn't that the gang that kidnapped her and Lucy when we went on that trip to that Star Wars game?" Petermint asked
"We gotta tell Lucy" said Baking "she'll know what to do"
"We don't need to tell Lucy, we just have to-
Petermint and baking glared at her. Annaween sighed in defeat and agreed to go to Lucy 1 to talk to her.
(With Lucy)
Lucy, now with her hair fully grown back and in its ponytail, was bored. She sat on her throne in the bridge twirling the heart on her necklace, while her droids tried to solve her problem.
"Care for a trip to the library?"
"I don't want to read right now" said Lucy
"Fresh fruit or candy?"
"Head massage?"
Lucy politely declined both offers.
"You do have an execution to perform"
"Rocky is undergoing trial. I can't execute him til the end of the month at the earliest. I have to be a somewhat fair ruler after all" said Lucy
"Uh, perhaps a walk around one of the colonies could-
"Your majesty, sorry to interrupt, but some of your school friends wish to speak with you"
"Send them in" said Lucy
Annaween, Petermint, and baking entered the bridge and faced Lucy.
"What do you want?" Lucy asked
"Yeah, funny story really, you're gonna laugh" said Annaween
"I'm waiting"
"She sold Sophie to a bunch of pirates for a helmet for miss Honeys birthday" said Petermint
"And we had nothing to do with it" Baking whispered
"You what?" Lucy angrily asked
"Hey in my defense, my dad said pirates can get anything" said Annaween
"Mr gloyd is wrong. Space pirates can not be trusted. Ok, before they ran away because I'm sure they did, did you at least get a look at their ship?" Lucy asked
Annaween nodded.
"Finally, something to do. I'm gonna show you some holograms of ships in this galaxy, you're gonna tell me what they're flying. Droids, contact all ships and alert the imperials about a high priority hostage taken by the pirates" said Lucy as she got up from her throne
"Roger roger"
Lucy showed Annaween some holograms of ships and she chose which ship the pirates had
"Stolen light cruiser, nothing one of my ships can't disable. Those pirates made the mistake of marking it according to security footage from the oasis and wasp. It'll be easy to find" said Lucy
"Your majesty, General snowball says a ship like this has been seen refueling in Raxon space. Imperial tie fighters are pursuing" said a droid
"Tell snowball to order the empire to only disable the ship. Then have him bring the cruiser aboard his ship" said Lucy
(With Sophie)
Sophie was handcuffed and in a cell aboard the pirates stolen imperial light cruiser.
"Arrr, the Haxion brood will pay a hefty price to get you, Jedi" said the pirate captain
Suddenly the ship rumbled, it was being attacked. Outside, imperial tie fighters were trying to take out the 4 laser cannons aboard the ship while tie bombers attempted to disable it. Meanwhile, General snowballs battleship was moving in to bring the ship into its tractor beam.
"Sir, the droid ship is trying to pull us in" said a pirate
"Fire all batteries, disable that tractor beam" the captain ordered
"We can't, we only have 4 cannons and they're busy with the ties"
"Sir our weapon systems are down"
"Launch fighters" the captain ordered
"I can't, I don't know how. And no one here knows how to fly a tie fighter"
Snowballs Lucrehulk battleship positioned the stolen cruiser between its 2 hangar bays and it was quickly boarded by droids. The pirates were taken into custody and imprisoned while Lucy and the imperials decided what to do with the light cruiser. In the end Lucy allowed the empire to take their ship back on the condition they transport Sophie home, which they did. Upon arriving at her house, Honey was briefed by an officer and a tactical droid about what happened. Honey was shocked her daughter was kidnapped. When the officer and droid left, she had a chat with her
"I just wanted to get you a nice birthday present. You do so much for me and this game, I thought you deserved it. I didn't agree with this, it was Annaweens idea. I don't even like pirates" said Sophie
"Oh Sophie, you didn't have to get me anything special. I'm happy to have around as part of my family" said Honey "Now why don't you go upstairs and rest, you've had a long day"
(June 15th, victory plaza park)
Today was Honeys birthday, and she was turning 26. All of honeys friends gathered to have a picnic and bbq in the park. Soundwave and his minicons played music while Tails showed off some inventions, while his wife Zooey talked to Sunkirst. Kids played tag while Fudge finished decorating the birthday cake. Honey was by a table stacked with presents and was looking up with her friend Daniel at a gift from Lucy and her family. After her war she got reparations in the form of imperial vehicles, and they were gifting Honey an AT-ST Walker and a drivers uniform for her collection of stuff.
"A scout Walker, pretty deadly" said Daniel
"And it's awesome to look at when it's not shooting at me" said Honey "I can't wait to take it to my ship in space"
"I'll have it delivered personally, after you come to my new casino down the block" said Daniel
"Daniel I've heard what you do to cheaters" said Honey "Seems sketchy. And I'm not much of a gambler"
"It's a mob thing, we have to break cheaters hands. And I know you'll never cheat"
"I'll think about it. Right now I want to enjoy my birthday" said Honey
Soon the food was ready and everyone dug in. After eating Honey started opening her presents. Besides the scout Walker she got some new black and yellow clothes, some new shoes, a tablet, some books, a few random toys since she liked to play, among a couple other gadgets. She also found herself with another purse with a keychain of a bumblebee on the zipper.
"Thanks Sunkirst, now I have 3 purses" said Honey
"You have 3? When'd you get a second?" Sunkirst asked
"My wedding. Ok 1 present left" said Honey
It was marked from Sophie. Honey opened it and saw it was the sith trooper helmet she almost died trying to get.
"Lucy I thought you confiscated that" said Sophie
"I'm allowing it to be released in Miss Honeys care" said Lucy
Honey put the helmet on and giggled with glee. She took it off and hugged her daughter.
"Thank you Sophie, you're such a good daughter"
