Chapter 4
( After they split apart, the Rebellions won, for now, and Charlie felt proud and scared of the princess. She felt proud because she saved her, but she's scared because she broke the princess's rule. Now, we see her, on a bed, sitting, with Sushi on her side. )
Charlie: I'm worried…
Sushi: *concern* Why's that? You saved the princess!
Charlie: I know that. But, I broke her rule of staying on the ship.
Sushi: Charlie. Without you, she would've been dead. But, you saved her. You should be happy.
Charlie: *turns to Sushi* I am! But, scared at the same time. *she hears a knock at the door* Whose that?
Sushi: *shrugs* Let's find out. Come in!
( It was revealed it was the princess, with her brother by her side. Louis seems happy, but the princess looked concerned, which scares Charlie. )
Charlie: Um… *waves nervously* Hey, princess…
Princess: Charlie. I need to tell you about what happened back there.
Oh no… here goes…
Louis: *looks up at the princess* Are you mad at her?
Princess: *nods* No, no. She's not. But, I am disappointed. *looks at Charlie* You broke one of my rules.
Sushi: Princess! She didn't mean to-
Princess: *cuts off* No, Sushi. Charlie, I gave you my instructions to stay in the ship. Don't you realize what would happen if you get caught?!
Charlie: *stands up* I know that! But, when I saw you, you were in trouble! I have no choice but to get out there, and save you! I can't just leave you there, sacrificing yourself to Kylo! That's not what a princess would you! You should've thank me!
Princess: *sighs* I know. I appreciate what you did back there. If you weren't there, like you said, I would've died. But, when I looked at you, I saw… light. Even though we're still learning about you, I owe you a thanks. It would be sad to see my brother's reaction to my dead body.
Charlie: It's nothing… I just tried. It was the only thing I could think of.
Princess: Well, you made the right choice. *does a smile*
Charlie: *smiles back*
She's smiling! I had never seen her smile before!
Cozy: *walks into the room, and moans* Sorry to disturb your talk, princess. But, has anyone seen JC-07 around? I can't find it.
Princess: *turns to Cozy* What do you mean? Did you check every room?
Cozy: *shrugs and moans* I checked everywhere. No sign of it.
Princess: Odd…
Charlie: Where did you last see it?
Princess: He was out of the ship, fighting with us, and it- *stops and gasps* Oh no…
Louis: What is it, sister?
Princess: The First Order took it!
( Back at the Star Destroyer, we see a staff member walking down the hallway. He is holding a chip, to JC-07. While he makes their way, a doctor helps up with Kylo, healing his head wound from the stick. )
Kylo: *rubs his head* What happened…?
Doctor: *moves his hand away* You were hit on the head with a stick.
Kylo: *turns to the doctor* Who hit me?
Doctor: *shrugs* I don't know. Maybe one of the rebels.
( The staff member appears at the entrance of the door. Both Kylo and the doctor look at him.)
Staff member: Hello, leader. Sorry I disturb your conversation. But, I need to talk to you.
Kylo: *sighs* Make it quick.
Staff members: General told me to give this to you. It's evidence about the girl.*shows the chip* It's all in here, from their droid!
Kylo: *stands up, walks up to the staff member, snatches the chip, and puts it in a screen, showing up data*
Staff members: I know this looks a lot. But, if you click that picture, it can show information about the girl! *clicks on Charlie's picture, showing her everything about herself*
Kylo: *looks at the description* St. Louis, Missouri? Star Wars Theorist?
Staff members: We don't know much about her stats. But, we can understand her by taking her. What if she knows the map to Skywalker?!
Kylo: *turns quickly* What if she is? *takes the chip out, hands it to the staff, and leaves the room*
( Kylo makes his way to General Hux, standing on the bridge of the ship, looking out the window.)
Kylo: General. One of your members gave me the chip to the rebellion's droids. I appreciate it.
Hux: *nods* I am pleased to be here.
Kylo: Now, change the route to the resistance. We must get the girl.
Hux: *turns* What?! But, sir! Your head-
Kylo: *slams the rails* It doesn't matter! What matters is the girl! Change the course, and find her!
Hux: *clears his throat, and nods* Change course. Jump through hyperspeed. Follow the Bright Rebellions.
Member 1: Yes, general.
( As soon as they were prepared, they jumped through hyperspeed, all their way to Charlie's path. )
( Back with the Bright Rebellions, we see the team get off ship, as they landed on Fasgawn )
Charlie: *goes downstairs, taking a deep breath*
Sushi: *turns to Charlie* Are you okay?
Charlie: *sighs* I just have a bad feeling about this. *turns to Sushi* Are you sure this person is trusted by you guys?
Princess: *hears them talking* We can trust him. He's my old friend, when I was a kid.
Charlie: *nods*
Hazel: Relax, kid. Nothing is going to happen. And, *turns to Charlie* acted normal. People are strange when you don't act normal. *continues on*
I seriously got a bad feeling about this.
( The team makes their way towards a bar. The door opens itself, showing a group of critters, droids, and humans. At the counter, we see a human man, looked normal, but with an eyepatch )
?: *notice the princess* Ah! If it isn't my good old friend! *walks up towards her, giving her a pat*
Princess: Oh, Belius, great to see you! It's been a long time!
Belius: *laughs* It has. *looks at Hazel* And, Hazel! *pats her* Great to see you! How's your girl?
Hazel: *turns to the princess* She's doing well.
Wait… the princess and Hazel are… couples? Huh. I never knew that.
Belius: *looks around* Where's your little brother?
Princess: Getting his lesson done.
Belius: *sighs* I like your brother. He's like a brother to me. *notices Charlie* Ah. A new member?
Oh great. He notices.
Princess: Indeed. Her name is Charlie. She's not around here, or anywhere.
Hazel: We just found her in Jakku.
Belius: What do you mean? *examines Charlie*
Sushi: *moves up* She got hit by a rock, making her have a twenty- four hour coma here, in this universe!
Belius: *turns to Charlie, confused*
Charlie: *chuckles* It's a long story.
A really long story, I mean.
Belius: I see… *turns to the princess* Has she got into trouble?
Princess: The First Order notice her first back at Jakku. Now, she's the target of the leader of the First Order, Kylo Ren.
( Everyone stops what their doing, looking at them, shocked when they heard the name Kylo Ren )
Belius: Uh… *turns to the rest* What are you guys doing? There's nothing wrong here! This is personal business!
( Everyone turns back, like nothing happened )
Belius: *turns back to the princess* I think I can help you with that. *pauses* Oh! *turns to Charlie* Miss. I want to give you something!
Charlie: *backs up* Oh, no no. It's fine. I-
Belius: No, no. You need something protective. It'll be quick! *rushes to the back of the room*
Sushi: Well, that was something…
Hazel: *scoffs* Tell me about it.
Tell me about it.
Princess: *turns to Charlie* Belius is only helping you. He's giving you something so you can be safe from Kylo.
Charlie: I-I don't know. How about we can just go?
Princess: No, Charlie. We're not going anywhere. He's here to help us.
Charlie: Well, what about me?! The more we stand here, the faster First Order can come to us!
Princess: *raises her voice* THEY DON'T KNOW THAT!
Charlie: *shouts* PRINCESS!
( Everyone turns to Charlie and the princess )
Charlie: I know what's going to happen! I sense it! I saw what they did! They can track a rebellion any minute! I saw it before! They are not just cowards like us, they are like dogs, hunting down their prey! We're the prey! If we stand here, doing absolutely nothing, they would get here fast! But, with your plan, this can't happen to me! This can't happen to the resistance! Unless, you get off your lazy ass, and FIGHT BACK WITH THEM!
( Everyone gasps )
Princess: *shocked what she heard, takes a deep breath*
Charlie: *gasps, knows what she did wrong* Princess, I-
Princess: *angry, but spoke softly* I'm trying my best to keep my group safe and hidden. I'm doing what the general told me to do. It's not being a coward. It's called doing the right thing. *turns away*
Hazel: *turns* I think she needs some time alone, Charlie.
Charlie: *felt like crying, but holds her tears, running out of the bar*
( The princess and Sushi turn to where Charlie ran. Sushi didn't move, it felt bad for her. The princess turns away, sighs, and nodding her head. We see Charlie, running to the woods. Louis sees Charlie running, turns to the others, doing their stuff. Louis decides to check up on Charlie. He runs out of the ship, not getting notice, and goes into the woods to find Charlie )
( The Star Destroyer hover above Fasgawn. In the ship, we see General Hux and Kylo, on the bridge, looking at the planet )
Hux: *turns to Kylo* Are you sure this is where they are?
Kylo: Believe me, general. This is where they lie.
Hux: Very well, then. *clicks on the radio* Captain, release the TIE fighters. We found them.
Phasma (radio): On it. *cuts off*
Hux: *turns to Kylo* Speaking of the girl, we're still charging up the Starkiller. Should we-
Kylo: Not now, general. We're here. *walks to his ship*
Hux: *turns, and sighs*
( A group of stormtroopers runs to the TIE, setting up, and flies down to Fasgawn. We see Kylo, walking his way towards his ship. He goes in, and the door closes. The ship zooms out of the Star Destroyer, to Fasgawn )
( We see Charlie, slowing down, and taking a deep breath. She sighs, turning her head towards her path. Then, she sees someone. It's Louis, following her this whole time )
What the?! How did he find me?!
Charlie: *gasps* Louis! What are you doing here?! You're not supposed to be here!
Louis: *worried* I wanted to know where you were going. You were running out of the bar. Did something happen?
Charlie: *sighs*Yeah. But, what's important is you! You need to get back to the ship or else your teacher would notice!
Louis: *stomps* No!
Charlie: *sighs. But, she felt the wind, blowing fast. She hears zooming from somewhere. Looks around*
Louis: *confused* What happened? Are you okay?
Charlie: *gasps, turning to Louis* The First Order found us!
( Back at the hospital, it's been three hours, and Gilbert waits for Charlie to wake up. He was sleepy, and tried to keep himself awake. Then, Dr. Hal enters in the room )
Dr. Hal: Still awake?
Gilbert: *turns to the doctor* I thought you left.
Dr. Hal: Yeah, I was. But, my neighborhood has a curfew, and if I enter the neighborhood, they would think I was dangerous.
Gilbert: *sighs* I hate those kinds of areas.
Dr. Hal: *chuckles* Yeah.
Gilbert: *yawns, rubbing his eyes*
Dr. Hal: *sighs, walking towards a chair, and sits* Why don't you go, and rest? There's another bed near hers. I can keep an eye on her.
Gilbert: No, no, doctor. I- *yawns* I got this.
Dr. Hal: *frowns, then looks at Charlie* You two looked like good friends. *turns to Gilbert* How long have you met her?
Gilbert: *sighs* We met back at elementary school. I was alone, no one wanted to play with me. But, that's when she came. We played, and played. Until, we became friends. *turns to Charlie* Best friends. *turns back to the doctor* She was like a sister to me.
Dr. Hal: I can see… I also heard she was a fan of Star Wars. Am I correct?
Gilbert: Definitely. She's a huge fan of Star Wars. She would play a game that relates to the movie. She has this wild imagination every time we play. She would *yawns* pretend we would fly on a X- wing, using the force, and fighting with toy lightsabers. *sighs, nodding his head* She was so creative. I love her personality. *rubbing his eyes* Another thing is she would describe me as Finn, a nice, brave, but scared boy. *chuckles, turns to Charlie* I would describe Charlie as Rey.
Dr. Hal: *curious* Has she called herself that?
Gilbert: Actually, *nods* no. She thinks she would describe herself as forgettable. She left her family to go to high school. As soon as she got out, she felt heartbroken. She cried, thinking about seeing her parents again. She planned on meeting them after her Junior year. But, this happened, and… and… *tears fell from his eyes* Oh, I miss her so much! *hugs the doctor, crying*
Dr. Hal: *hugs back, patting his back* Oh, please don't cry. *breaks off* Listen, we're trying our best to bring your friend back. We're still not giving up. All we need is time, and it might be a chance she can wake up. *stands up, dragging Gilbert to an open bed* Right now, how about you get some sleep? You looked tired. I can watch her. You can count on me, sir.
Gilbert: *looks at Charlie, sighs, and nods* Okay.
Dr. Hal: Great. Now, get some rest. Tomorrow is a new day.
Gilbert: *gets on the bed, laying on his side, looking at Charlie, and closes his eyes, slowly, sleeping*
Dr. Hal: *nodding, sits near Charlie, and watches her*
