He never intended to get involved. That's what he would tell his sister when all of this was over.
Camie had never been off Tatooine before but now she sat in the gunner's seat of Luke's tiny X-wing, gazing awestruck at the stars. He remembered that feeling; the galaxy spreading wide before you like the petals of some rare flower you'd only ever heard of-
The chiming of his comm startled Luke from his thoughts.
"Skywalker," he answered it.
"Did you get her?" Han asked, glancing over his shoulder.
"Yes, but-" Luke started. Han cut him off.
"Meet me 'n Chewie at these coordinates." Han cut the connection before Luke could respond.
"Do you know why those bounty hunters were after you?" Luke asked Camie. She tore her eyes away from the sky, glancing back towards Luke. Absently, her hand stroked the necklace her mother had given her.
"No- I don't have anything valuable, not really."
"Don't worry, alright? We'll figure this out."
Onwards he flew.
They met up with the Falcon on some burned out world, one that had been dead for centuries- maybe longer. In the silence, their footsteps echoed menacingly. The world was cold in the force, steeped in the dark side. Camie grabbed Luke's hand fir comfort.
"What is this place?"
"Welcome to Ziost, this particular place ain't much, but over thataways," Han gestured, "Is a big haven for smugglers and the like." He leaned over to peer at Camie.
"Good job, farm boy- you actually brought us the girl."
"Excuse me?" Camie bit out.
"Nothing like that- Few weeks ago, group of tomb raiders unearthed a biolocked cache that everyone's pretty sure used to belong to the Voidhound," Han explained.
"What does that have to do with me?" Hands on her hips, glaring at him.
"You're the descendant of one of the Voidhound's crew-" Luke cut in as Han led them towards their destination, Chewbacca bringing up the rear.
"And so Luke and I are trying to cash in on the possibility that you can open it because your ancestor was on his crew-" Han continued without missing a beat.
"We think whatever is in there might help us overthrow the Empire," Luke says, he reaches for her hand. She lets him take it.
"Please, Camie, help us?" She bit her lip, trying to avoid looking at those earnest blue eyes. Luke was so cute- she needed to start bullying him again.
"Fine," she said.
So naturally that was the cue for the ground to start shaking...
