"Red Leader this is Red Five," Jaina said into her X-Wing comm. "Finished sweep of the area, all clear."
An older voice came over the comm, "Copy that Red 5, return to base."
Jaina looked over the planets mountainous surface. Although it was around sundown, she could still make out the forms of the mountains. Something could sneak up on them easily. First, the enemy would have to find the base, and then they'd try a ground assault. By that time, many of the people would have evacuated. Genius.
"I'm going to make another sweep." Jaina said. She put her X-Wing into a tight turn, and then headed toward the dawn as if the sunlight was calling her.
Jaina sighed, in fact, she had gone sight-seeing. It was a relaxing way to get out of the hustle and bustle of the base.
When a load voice came over the com she jumped out of her skin.
"You are not supposed to be in this sector." It said, "What is your business here?"
Jaina gulped, she didn't know she had gone out of her own area.
"Sightseeing." She said into the com, and waited while there was a pause.
"Wait," the voice said, and Jaina could have sworn she almost recognized it. "Jaina? Is that you?"
Jaina sighed in relief, "Zekk! You scared the sithspawn out of me!" She heard a deep chuckle over the radio. It was him alright.
"From the way you answered I guessed I had." Zekk said.
Jaina squinted, looking out of her cockpit. "Where are you?" She asked.
There was a burst of static, "Right beneath you." Jaina was puzzled for a second, but she quickly pulled up the control stick as Zekk's ship climbed right up from underneath her. "For cyin' out load!" Jaina exclaimed as she saw the nose of her ship barely missing Zekk's ship by mere inches.
Zekk laughed. "Gotcha." he said.
Jaina followed Zekk's X-Wing up into the bright sky, "So you think you're a good pilot huh?" She asked into the comm.
"Oh I know I am." Zekk replied.
Jaina laughed as she brought her ship right up beside his. "That sounded like a challenge." She said.
"Yep." Zekk said.
"Well, then." Jaina said, "After you."
"You're on." Zekk said pulling his X-Wing up, and Jaina followed him right up into the starry sky. She knew this very well, it was like follow the leader, only it was much harder. What the leader did, you did, no matter what- and sometimes Zekk could pull off some hairy maneuvers.
Zekk sent himself inot a tight spin, and Jaina went down right along with him. Jaina was so close to him he was almost blinded by her engines. Nonetheless, she stayed with him. Zekk went through loops, spins, and hard turns. "You still back there?" He asked.
Jaina let out a tight laugh, "Right behind you," She said, "But now it's my turn." Jaina turned her ship down toward the planet. Quickly Jaina's eyes scanned the planet's surface, and off to her right she spotted a long canyon. Without a second thought she headed to the end of it.
"Full speed." She said, dipping down into the canyon. Before long Jaina found that going through the canyon wasn't such a good idea. Soon sweat was forming on her forehead from the concentration. She piloted her craft underneath a stone bridge, then around a sharp corner. Her wing scrapped against the hard stone wall of the cavern and Jaina shook her head.
This was getting too close. Then...the canyon came to an abrupt end. Jaina took in a harsh breath and pulled up an the stick. Her craft zoomed up and into space.
Jaina leveled out her X-Win and sighed in relief, looking around. "Zekk?" suddenly she remembered her friend who had been in full speed also. No reply. "Where are you?" She asked, her voice quavered and sounded weak even to her. Could Zekk have crashed his X-Wing? All because she wanted to play silly games?
"Zekk!" Jaina yelled into the comm, "This isn't funny." Then, to her relief she heard a laugh.
Jaina looked up. There was his X-Wing, hovering right above her. However it was turned upside down so that the two cockpits were so close that she could see the twinkle in his green eyes.
"Was it my imagination, or were you worried about me?" Zekk asked, still laughing.
"It was your imagination." Jaina lied. It was sort of maddening that Zekk would pull a stunt like that on her. Jaina paused and looked up. "Are you going to hang like that all day, or do you want to come to my place for supper?"
"Anything thing would beat the fighter-pilot's cafeteria." Zekk replied.
Jaina laughed. "That bad huh?" She piloted her ship down toward the planet. TO BE CONTINUED!
(Well, I hope you guys liked that chapter, I'm churning the out so fast because I've already had them written for about a year now. It'll get more exciting soon. Review, and maybe I'll keep 'em coming!)
