Obi Wan's Daughter Part 11
Nemesis was cooking breakfast when her father returned. He smiled at her as he sat down at the table.
"Anything new?" She asked as she set a plate of food in front of him.
Obi-Wan shook his head and sighed. "Not really. Your bounty has been raised, but most of the Bounty Hunters have given up. They're calling you "The Empire's Dream Girl."
Nemesis smirked. "How sweet, I'm becoming a myth." Obi-Wan smiled. "Too bad the Empire won't give up." Nemesis added quickly.
"They never will, not until..."
"I know, Daddy." She sighed. "But we can still hope."
Obi-Wan nodded slightly. "We always need hope."
Nemesis frowned at how exhausted her father looked. "Finish your breakfast, Daddy. Then get some rest. I'm going to go talk to Luke today."
Obi-Wan smiled. "Wait a minute, who's the parent here?"
Nemesis giggled. "The last time I checked, you were. But that doesn't mean I can't offer some advice, does it?"
"No." Obi-Wan chuckled. "And it's good advice too. Maybe I should start listening to it."
"Maybe." Nemesis said as she cleared the table of the dishes they had finished with.
Obi-Wan smiled again. "What would I do without you, Nemmie?" He asked before he finished his breakfast.
****
Nemesis finished the dishes and made certain her father was asleep before she left to see Luke. She pulled the hood of her cloak up before stepping out into the hot desert sun. Her lightsaber was hidden, yet easily accessible, just in case.
~ Not like I ever need it, but it makes me feel safer. ~
She smiled to herself, wondering what her father would do without her.
~ He wouldn't be running himself ragged all the time. ~
She frowned at the thought. ~ That isn't what he meant. ~ She chided the other voice. ~ That isn't what he meant at all. ~
****
Luke picked at his breakfast. He sighed, barely noticing that Owen was talking to him.
I said..." Owen sighed. "Is something wrong, Luke?"
"Hmmm?" Luke looked at his uncle. "Oh, sorry, Uncle Owen, I just kinda miss Nem."
Beru Smiled. "Oh, is that all? We were afraid it was something serious."
Luke looked at her. "I guess it is silly."
"Not at all." Beru said as she put her hand on Luke's. "She'll come back."
Luke smiled. "Thanks, Aunt Beru."
"Now, as I was saying..." Owen began again, only to be interrupted by a knock at the door. "...I'll get the door."
~ It's her. ~ Luke thought suddenly. He somehow knew it. ~ She's come back. ~ He sighed as he watched his uncle leave. ~ But how could I know? It's just wishful thinking. ~
Owen returned, smiling. "Look who's here, Luke. I think you wished her here."
"Nemesis!" Luke grinned. ~ I knew it! But, how? ~
Nemesis smiled. "Hi, Luke. Oh, you're still eating breakfast. I'm sorry, I can come back later."
"Don't be silly, dear." Beru said. "Sit down"
Nemesis blushed slightly as she joined them at the table. "I keep forgetting no one else gets up as early as father and I do."
"Don't worry about it." Owen said. "We were just talking about you."
Luke grinned. "Yeah, I would have said speak of the devil, but," He smiled, looking slightly embarrassed. "You're an angel and no one can argue with that."
Nemesis blushed. "I...thanks." Luke nodded and Beru and Owen exchanged knowing glances.
"Well, Luke, I had a day of chores set out for you..."
Luke groaned. "But Uncle Owen..."
Owen held up his hand. "But, considering you have such a lovely guest..." He smiled at Nemesis. "I suppose I can let you go without doing them."
Luke grinned. "Thanks, Uncle Owen."
"Provided..." Luke frowned again. He knew it had been too good to be true.
Owen smiled at Nemesis again. "Provided Nem stays for dinner."
Nemesis nodded. "I'm sure my father won't mind."
"Good." Owen said. "How is your father?"
"He's fine." Nemesis said. Though as always she was curious about why her uncle was asking. "A bit worn out, but fine. Thank you for asking."
Owen nodded. "Glad to hear he's well. Now, you two run along."
Luke stood and walked around the table to Nemesis. He took her hand. "Lets go before he changes his mind."
Once they were in the other room Luke sat down. "You won't believe this, but somehow I knew it was you at the door."
"Really?" Nemesis smiled. "Lucky guess." Luke grinned.
~ I thought I sensed something. Luke is tapping into his Force ability and he doesn't even know it. This could be dangerous. I'll have to talk to Dad about it when I get home. ~
