Entry 15
Today was one of the most exciting days of my life. Uncle Owen was still gone this morning. I got up and did all of my chores before suns were over the north range, so I was left with a lot of free time. I took the landspeeder off to Tosche Station and met up with Fixxer and Biggs there. Fixxer didn't seem to want to be around me... he's always had feelings for Camie, and after she gave me that kiss, I think he may never want to be around me again... So, Biggs got a new lanspeeder. It's an XP-38, one of the newer models to be available to moisture farmers. It's even got a double engine converter, so more power can be used for acceleration without eating at the mechanics. We decided to test it out, so we took it for a test run throughout the dune sea and through the Jundland wastes. Everything was fine until we were ambushed by a krayt dragon. It clawed onto the back of the speeder and kept us from going too fast... Biggs punched it and we drug it through some rocks, but it grabbed footing and stopped us completely. Biggs and I reached for our blaster rifles, but I dropped mine and the krayt broke his in two with his claw. We thought we were doomed. It kept clawing at us... it was sure it had its prey.
Suddenly, we heard a roar over the canyon. The krayt dragon looked around and just let go of the speeder. It ran as fast as it had showed up... over the lip of the canyon, we saw a figure. It was old Ben Kenobi.
The speeder was irrepairable, since the krayt had torn an engine almost out of place. Ben offered to escort us home in case of any danger. Biggs and I gladly accepted. Old Ben has been around Tatooine long enough to know how to steer clear of danger.
We all approached the homestead. Uncle Owen was out repairing a vaporator and gave us an evil glare. He stared hard at old Ben. He told Biggs that he'd better try to get in contact with Tosche station for a ride home and told me to go inside...
As we were walking towards the inside, Biggs and I heard uncle Owen tell Ben to "stay away from the boy". Biggs swore he heard uncle Owen tell him that "he won't end up like his father"... I brushed it off. What would old Ben know about my father? I got one quick glance at Ben before he walked off into the distance... he vanished as he had came in the canyon. Uncle Owen brushed past us and told us never to see him again. The stern look he gave me told me not to question him. At least not to question him right at this moment.
