In another time and galaxy, far, far away.
{Where are we this time?} Erica asked. Erick put out his hand and felt
around in the darkness. {Some sort of trunk, genius. What is it with
you and trunks, anyway?}
{Well. I tried to teleport out of this dimension, but it only ended up
going here. I can't help it if we're stuck in some sort of trunk. Fuzz-
lip!} he sighed and felt around a little more. {Too bad we don't have
that necklace. You must've taken all the good luck out of ourselves to
give it to him.}
{How do you think he'd survive?}
{Beats me...I never finished the books.}
Erica sighed discontentedly and tried to feel for a door.
"I feel a disturbance in the Force." Luke told Han Solo anxiously. "Relax kid. It's probably some sort of incoming asteroid or something." He replied carelessly. "You should listen to him, Han. After all, he is a Jedi Knight." Leia snapped. "There's something alive in where your smuggling cargo goes." She shot Han a supreme look. "See, I told you!" "Fine, fine. Whatever. Luke, does your Force thing tell you what they are? I don't exactly want to release Minocks in my ship." "Uh...I don't recognize the life form, but they're scared. Don't do anything stupid." Han rolled his eyes. "Hey, it's me!" He answered casually, walking over to the covered smuggling cargo pit. He opened it and looked inside. He fell down in surprise at what he saw. Two rather blue looking creatures climbed up and stared at the adults in astonishment. Luke blinked in amazement at how two kids could get inside without being noticed. Leia and Han just stared at the mere fact that these were one of the galaxy's most wanted criminals. Both sides were speechless at the sight of each other. Threepio ruined the moment, bumbling into Luke. "Master Luke? How may I be of assistance?" The yellow eyes of the twins widened as they saw him. {I do not believe it....} {Must be a dream...} Threepio whirled around and looked at the twins for the first time. "That is not a language I am familiar with. You really should update me sometime, master Luke." He said, rather snootily. "You mean, they're talking a language that you don't know? What good are you?" Han asked smugly. Artoo-Deeto ran into the twins and beeped in surprise. Startled, Erica vanished behind Luke and Han. "What the--?" they asked, before she disappeared in a puff of smoke. "So that's how they got rich. I wish I could do that." Han said mournfully, before Leia glared at him. "Beep-do-beep?" Artoo asked. Erick shook his head. "Beep-beep-do-beep-beep!" he replied. Now he was the one receiving arched brows. "Really, Artoo. You should watch your language, and you too, Erick." Erick and Artoo stuck their 'tongues' out at Threepio. "Beep-chi-beeep!" he retorted. If Threepio had facial muscles, his face would look horrified. "Shame on you! What despicable language you have, Erick." "Waitta minute, you understood what he said?" "Unfortunately, yes, sir." "Artoo? Can you ask them if they speak Basic?" "Beep!" Artoo answered cheerfully. "Beep-de-beep-beep-du-beep?" the droid asked Erick. "Vhat's Basic?" Leia smiled. "Uh...it's what most people speak. How in the galaxy can you speak droid?" he grinned. "It's a secret." Erica punched him lightly in the arm "Showoff..." she muttered. "So why are you two wanted as criminals?" The twins stared at Luke in shock. Then Erick faced Erica. "Vhat did you do?" he growled. "umm.." she said nervously, searching for the right answer. Then she pulled her hands from behind her back. "Are these yours?" she asked sweetly. Luke and Han stared at the items in her and. "How'd you—?" "What did you--?" "Shut up and let the kid talk." The men were silent at this proposal. "I uh, have...umm...sticky fingers." She blurted out. Luke looked at his lightsaber that had been missing for a few minutes. Some Jedi he was, not knowing if it had been stolen. Han stroked the handle of his gun lovingly. He should know better than to let some little kid steal it from under his nose. A violent shaking from the shipped ended the conversation. Chewbacca howled to Han. "I'm coming, I coming! Hold on!" He managed to get to the cockpit before the ship gave another violent shudder. Luke and Leia scrambled after him. A familiar ship shot by. "Why the— Leia covered his mouth. "Shh! We have children on the ship!" Han gave her a strange look, before continuing. "Boba Fett is hot on our tails. He knocked out the sublight engine and...is going to give us a shot with his wonderful ion cannon. We have precisely three seconds before he neutralizes us. Any suggestions?" Chewbacca growled a series of barks and howls at him. "Sorry, furball. It looks like our time is just about up. Static crackled on the com. "Solo...I desire to see your presence again. Put down your weapons, all of you. One false move, and your ship is gone." Han stared at the controls for a few seconds. "This is not happening..." A clang from above ended his statement. He walked out into the corridor and waited. He did not have to wait for long. Luke, Leia, and Chewbacca stood behind him. The twins looked at the ceiling as it opened. They gasped in astonishment as they saw who entered. Boba Fett strode in, feeling confident. He knew better than to trust Solo. A small movement caught his eye. "Boba?" Erica asked. He turned around and stared at them. "You." he replied in his deadpan manner. "Man, you have changed a lot since ve met." She pointed out. "You have not changed at all." She grinned. "Remember vhen ve left...vell ve traveled forvard in time. Very confusing." The rest of the adults gawked in amazement and bewilderment at this conversation. "Besides, you owe us." She informed him. "What do you want?" "You to leave this ship, to stop hunting mistah Solo here, and tae at least say goodbye vhen ve leave." Boba was silent for a moment. He put out his hand towards Erica. "Deal?" She shook his had warmly "Deal." Without warning, a blue mist started swirling around them. "Goodbye...Auf wiedersehen." He murmured. The last thing he saw of the twins was them waving.
