"I hope you invited your Boba friend, we're gonna need all the help we can get and he's a good fighter."

"I did. He's going to meet us at the gem diver station with two of his friends." Mara replied a little teasingly.

"Something's up." Mara thought "Arden never admits she needs help."

"That far! Gem Diver is nearly 40 parsecs away from his station!" Arden exclaimed then changed her face realizing that Mara had been teasing her.

Back at Gem Diver....

"Chewie would you calm down for five minutes please!" Han said backing Leia up.

"Hey has anyone seen Lando?" Luke said interrupting the groups bickering.

"Yeah he went to go clean up the casino arena in case the braze gets to thick." Han replied.

"I'm going to go help him. Those gamblers sure can cook up a mess." Leia said happy to get away from the disturbed walking carpet.

"Rawr Rawr!!" Chewie added noticing her purposeful escape.

"Shut up!!" All three of them yelled back at the wookie.

With that Leia took her exit through the door. She turned to the right heading down the breezeway that led towards the casino. She sighed deeply and then laughed to her self for how childish she and the wookie had acted.

"Thanks for coming, Leia." Lando said almost under his breath.

"No problem." Leia said in tone that related to her own difficulties with Chewie.

Leia took the gloves Lando handed her and went to work picking up trash.

"O.K. lets get a move on before those rebels feel relieved." Arden said shrugging off the look Mara had just given her.

Mara and Arden walked up the ramp and into Mara's ship Jade's Fire.

On the Mandolorian station....

"General Fett your ship is prepared."

"Good the last time I was late Mara blew the top of the roof." Boba replied in an urgent tone.

Boba approached his gleaming independent fighter Slave One. The general smirked underneath his helmet. His fellow fighters, Chrysta his daughter and Laurra Sing were approaching him in a military fashion assuming the usual Mandalorian salute.

"We better get a move on, father, before Mara lets a bomb on us!" Chrysta said anxiously.

Fett jerked his head in reply, a low tone in his voice, "Well in that case you better be early next time."

"Can we just leave please!?" Laurra said interrupting the two's bickering.

"Yes I suppose we should." Boba said turning back to Slave one, sighing under his breath, he mumbled "How did I ever get stuck with these two?"

"I'm sorry I didn't hear you what did you say?" Said Chrysta with a slight hint of anger in her voice.

"I said your hair looks nice." Boba replied grinning underneath his helmet, for now Chrysta was beet red with fury.

"I'll get you back for that!!!" Chrysta said.

"I'll be ready, after all I always am." Boba replied.
