Chapter 2

20 years later:

Lana Kenobi, or Trigger as she is known to Rogue Squadron, has grown up to be a exceptionally

beautiful woman of so much normal height, eyes the shade of the blue waters of Chad, and chestnut-

corlered hair that cascades down her long, slender back.

She is new to the Alliance and just starting to fit in. She became the first female to fly a

X-wing and was proud of that fact, for she has taken a step to show men men that women were as good

as they were. She did have some friends but she they didn't fill the void that she has had all her

life. She didn't know how to explain, but it felt a piece of her was missing. That is until she met

Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa.

In the hanger bay of the new Rebel Base on Hoth (This is set in Empire Strikes Back):

Wedge Antilles was frantically looking for one of his best friends, Luke Skywalker, for he needed

to ask a favor from him. It took him about 15 minutes after he entered the hanger bay to find Luke.

He was near his X-wing talking to some other pilots.

They were discussing the new recruit that had just join the squadron. They were all surprised it was

a woman. Some of the men were giving her a really hard time, but Luke didn't see what the big deal

was.

"What's the big deal?", Luke asked. "So she's a woman. She's just as good as the rest of us!"

"Yeah, but she's a woman", replied Hobbie.

"I definetely know what to expect", said Wes. "Every time before a battle, she will say that she

can't fly because she broke a nail, or that she deosn't have any makeup on. I'm mean who is going to

see her. She'll be wearing that helment".

"I can't believe your treating her like this!", luke exclaimed. "What did she ever do to you?"

Wedge took this time to step in to the little group. He had been listenignt o what they were talking

about.

"Luke's right you all", Wedge said. "I mean, what did she ever do to you? Except for being a woman

that is the only thing that makes her different from the rest of you guys. I need to talk to Luke

for a second in private."

After a second, only Wedge and Luke were the only ones left in the spot that the group have been in.

"What can I do for you Wedge?", Luke asked.

"I don't know how to say this, but Trigger's parents are dead."

"What?", Luke said in surprised.

"They were killed when the building they were working in exploded. it is believed to have been a

bomb the Imperials planted. Trigger already knows, but she is really upset", Wedge said. "Maybe

you can go talk to her. You've shared similar incidents with her."

Luke hesitated for a moment then decided. "I'll go talk to her."

"Good", replied Wedge. "She's up in her cabin."

So Luke went off to talk to Trigger.
