***Chapter 1*** The Meeting
"Attention all passengers. We will be starting landing procedures in five minutes. Please return to your seats and remained buckled until further notice," came the muffled voice of the flight attendant through the overhead speaker. Dana Solo looked up from her book as she heard the voice and slipped back to reality. As she checked her watch she exclaimed to herself, I've been reading this book for five hours straight! Oh well, it made the flight seem shorter. "Wake up you sleepy head! Trudie, wake up. We're about to land," she said aloud to her sleeping female companion. The short blonde stirred but just turned her head the other direction. "Alright, alright. I'm up!" she said to Dana after being poked and nudged for a few minutes. "You don't have to poke me like a hungry rancor though," she muttered to herself. Dana heard the comment but bit her tongue knowing that Trudie was always in a bad mood when she woke up. "So what've you been doing the past five hours?" questioned Trudie as she slowly emerged from dreamland. She buckled her seat belt and glanced at the book in Dana's hand. "Reading again? I thought you'd be done with that book by now." "I am. Just thirty minutes after you fell asleep I started Balance Point. I'm like half done with it already!" replied Dana looking down at the Star Wars book in her hand. She was completely obsessed with Star Wars. Every toy in her room was an action figure or some sort of toy relating to the books and movies she was inseparable with. "My goodness, girl! I love Star Wars too, but you're out of control!" exclaimed Trudie. "Well, I can't help it if I like it! Anyway, look out your window. We're landing!" Dana replied as calmly as a Jedi would in the midst of a crisis. "Ladies and gentlemen. We are descending and will touch down in less than a minute. Please stay seated until further notice. Repeat: please stay seated." The overhead speaker announced, interrupting the girls' conversation. Trudie cast a nervous glance at Dana. "Are you sure you want to do this? I'm not so sure about this." Dana interrupted her with a laugh and replied, "Calm down. I'm sure everything will be fine." With a mischievous grin and a spark in her emerald-green eye she added, "Just pretend that we are on a mission from Yavin IV to find the evil Sith Lord known as Darth Exterminator. We are arriving on Coruscant and meeting with Master Luke's contact." "Thanks. That sure helps." Trudie replied sarcastically. Just then a jolt ran through the plane. Of course Dana made it into a Star Wars scenario by pretending pirates were attacking them although in reality it was just the touch down. "Passengers: please remove all personal belongings off the plane as you file out in an orderly fashion," the speaker repeated over and over again.
Dana and Trudie grabbed their carry-on bags out of the overhead bins and started moving towards the exit. As they reached the baggage claim Dana was informing Trudie all about their "mission" and to look out for suspicious looking men who might be working for this new threat. "You sure know how to calm a girl's nerves, don't you?" asked Trudie in a voice dripping with sarcasm. Laughing the girls found the two bags that belonged to each of them and headed outside. The walk through the airport was an interesting experience. There was a musty smell in the air because of the many bodies traveling down the halls. The hall was very gray and monotonous and reminded Dana of the 'Death Star' from her favorite trilogy. As they walked, the never stopped talking as if talking would calm their nerves. After a while of wandering the crowded, noisy building the girls found an exit. When they reached the outer parking lot, Trudie asked, "Are going to meet our 'contact' here?" "No," replied Dana as she hailed a cab. "We are going to her house." "But we've never met her!" objected Trudie. Dana rolled her eyes and said, "I've talked to her on the internet for three years. I know her; I've just never met her in person. A cab pulled up and they climbed in although Trudie couldn't help but let out a groan.

At fifty-four Elm Street a brown haired, blue-eyed girl waited patiently in her room while playing with her action figures. She had just logged off of the computer in anticipation of her friends arriving. While she was acting out the speeder chase from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace she heard a low knocking sound. She knew her mom would get the door so she waited in her room with the scene paused in mid-air and her breath held in excitement. "Meghan, your friends are here!" called her mom. Meghan flew down the stairs two at a time and raced to the door. The one on the right was a tall, blond-haired, green-eyed girl who was heavily built and was wearing a huge grin that spread from ear to ear and filled her emerald eyes. This one was obviously Dana, the girl she had met on the Internet three years earlier. It took just a moment to process all of this information and embrace her in a huge Dexter-like hug. As she stepped back from Dana they shared the same smile. "Hey Meghan! I see we made it to the right house!" Dana commented to her hostess. Laughing, Meghan exclaimed, "Yes. I had no doubt a Jedi like yourself would get lost." They shared a short laugh before Dana said, "Meghan, this is my friend Trudie Jade. Trudie, this is Meghan Skywalker, my 'contact'" Meghan shook hands with Trudie as she studied her. She was shorter than Dana by about a head, but had the same blonde hair and green eyes. She was very thin and looked like a girl who liked fashion where Dana just wore t-shirts and jeans. She had the grin on the whole time and could not keep her excitement in check. "Come on in. Oh yea, welcome to Orlando, Florida!"
The three girls went up to the guest room to put their stuff away. The room had an air of an outdoor courtyard and was large and cozy at the same time. There were two twin beds at opposite sides of the room. There was one dresser that had six drawers in two columns. There was a large window that opened on a beautiful garden full of flowers and vegetables. Off to one side was a door that led to a 'fresher, as Dana had come to calling bathrooms. There was a sink with a medicine cabinet above it. The door of the cabinet had a mirror and the bathtub had a green curtain that separated it from the rest of the room. The color theme of the bathroom was a green that was complementary of the light blue in the main room. Dana and Trudie seemed to love the colors and the room in general. They split up the dresser each using three drawers and started to unpack. That took Dana just about two minutes. Trudie on the other hand took closer to five. After the girls were settled in Meghan took them to the kitchen. She grabbed three coke cans and three cookie bars and led her guests to her room. As she handed the cookie bars to Dana and Trudie, Dana exclaimed, "These remind me of ration bars. Remember the time Yoda asked Luke how he got so big by eating ration bars?" The girls all traded laughs and then Meghan remembered something. "Dana, when you unpacked you only unpacked your carry-on and one suitcase. Why did you not unpack the other one?" she asked curiously. Her answer was Dana's mischievous grin as she ran to the other room. What could possibly be in there? The suspense is killing me! Urgggh. Trudie's look was just as clueless as she felt. Dana ran back in with her suitcase and opened it to reveal more toys and action figures than Meghan could imagine. They started watching the Star Wars movies in order and acting the whole movies with the figures and toys. "I just can't wait 'til tomorrow!" Dana said with as much excitement as a Jedi receiving her first mission. "Why? What's tomorrow?" asked a confused Trudie. The other girls exchanged predatory grins and said, "It's a surprise."
