Coruscant: Five years later
~Meghan's POV~
I pack my personal belongings into my bag.
We're moving to another base soon.
I stop to look around.
So much has changed in five years.
I finished school right before Endor, now I'm hoping to go to the University of Coruscant.
I live in Rogue Squadrons base, one of the only pilots left.
I still have the medal that I won after the defeat of the first Death Star.
It's in a medal case, right next to my bed.
I look at it often, to remind me where I came from, and what I have lost.
And what I have become.
I'm now a major in the New Republic, one of the youngest ones ever.
At the estimated age of twenty.
I still don't know what happened to my parents.
Or anything about my past history.
But I'm okay with that.
I have a family right here.
As a major, I could get an apartment anywhere, but I'm saving my money for college.
It's not going to happen anytime soon.
Not with the schedule of the New Republics pilots.
My comlink beeps, and I grab it: "Yes?"
"Meghan, can you come to my office for a second?" Wedge says on the other side.
"Sure, I'll be right over."
Another thing, I'm allowed to drop the formalities of the military.
I bet I'm the only one in the whole New Republic.
I jog over there.
When I reach his office, I stand there, leaning against the doorframe. "You wanted to see me, Wedge?"
"Yes, you'd better sit down for this." He says, looking very serious.
Curious, I plop down in the chair facing him: "What's up?"

Same Place: Same Time
~Wedge's POV~
I don't know how to tell her this.
We double-checked everything, and it still came to the same thing.
Now I have to explain this to her.
I look at her, she grew up too fast, not having a childhood, not being a civilian for most of her life, except when we took Coruscant, and the times that she went on leave.
She's an adult now.
Hoping to go to a university.
Never having a chance to be a kid.
Now I have something that's going to change her life.
Again.
"Some Bothan's were paying back a favor that they owed Rogue Squadron, by looking up information on your family and you. You can read this anytime you want. Consider it a late anniversary gift." I say, tossing her a datapack with her past history in it. She celebrated her fifth year of being in the Rebel Alliance/ New Republic last week.
"Great! Now I finally find out about my family and myself! Thanks Wedge!" She yells, hugging me.
I wait for her to sit down again before continuing.
"While looking through the information, I stumbled upon something that was quite shocking. I double-checked everything, but it's true by 99.99999999999999%." I say not wanting to continue.
"What is it?" She asks, a note of dread in her voice.
"It's nothing bad, but it's pretty shocking." I start.
I take a deep breath, 'here goes nothing.'
I look her directly in the eyes, and slowly reveal the bombshell: "your parents are still alive, and they don't work in the space mines of Kessel."
TBC.

A/N: Man, that was a short chapter, but I really wanted to start this with a bang, and I think that I did. If I shortened up the time, I'm sorry, but it was kind of important to have Coruscant freed. Please read and review.
