With the devastating Tatooine hut raid and the death of her mother.

Tyto must find her way out of a very grim future. . .

Tyto was running just in the door frame when she heard a shout behind her.

Kludd had shouted,

"Hey look buster! We missed someone!"

Before buster could even speak kludd started sprinting.

"Cmon! Get your ass moving!" Kludd shouted.

Buster started sprinting catching up to kludd, who was now following tracks up a sand dune.

"It's up here somewhere!" Kludd bellowed.

Both of the men got to the top of the sand dune to find a few rocks.

"The tracks are leading to this rock" buster shouted pointing to a massive rock.

Meanwhile Tyto had jumped over the rock and wriggled her tiny body down into a tunnel.

She had moved the rock over her tunnel to make sure she was out of sight.

The two men bickered with each other about no witnesses.

Then slid down the sand dune and continued bagging credits from the hut.

Tyto had waited a full 30 minutes before she got out of the tunnel.

She heard two speeders start up and zoom away.

that was her que.

As soon as she got out of the tunnel she raced

into the hut and grabbed a large backpack.

She packed the last weeks worth of rations, a

pocket knife, the 100 credits she kept under

her bed, and 1 pair of undergarments.

Tyto was a young and naïve pathetically small child with every will to be independent.

But she had no accurate knowledge on how to be a successful individual.

She thought the universe was a forgiving place that would help children.

Tyto would soon find out how untrue that would be.

The one thing she new was she was safer looking like a boy.

To pull this off, she stole male child garments from cloths lines.

These clothes were many sizes too big for her as there were not many young boys around.

She had no bust but she wanted to make sure she was too safe.

She then cut her hair 2 1/2 inches above her shoulders.

It was very messy and fluffy because of her fine reddish dirty blond hair

Now She looked like a boy with a messy spiked short haircut.

Tyto was now ready to face mos eisley and it's many dangers.

Tyto walked into the vast dunes, guided by the ever brightening stars. . .
