"Here they come," said Mace.

Qui-Gon looked up. "Finally."

Leila went wordlessly on board.

"What happened?" asked Qui-Gon.

"She was having trouble," said Obi Wan. "She started stuttering just like she used to."

"You did well, Obi Wan," said Qui-Gon. "Get onboard." He looked at Mace. "May the Force be with you, friend."

"And with you."

The ship left the hanger and made for space.

Leila was quiet. But about ten minuets into the journey, Obi Wan had her laughing.

Qui-Gon was in the control room but he could still hear them through the intercom. He doubted they knew it was on. He smiled.

"That was your fault with what happened to the Sand People," said Leila.

"Who's idea was it to go to Tatooine in the first place?"

"Who's idea was it that it was too late to travel and we had better make camp there?"

There was a moment of silence.

"Oh, you're not going to pin that on me," said Obi Wan. "It was your idea to go and visit Gardulla."

Qui-Gon dropped the projector he was inserting and whirled. He spoke through the intercom. "You went to see Gardulla!"

Again there was silence. And then the sound of a thump and Obi Wan's yelp.

"Good one, Obi Wan," hissed Leila. Her face appeared on the view screen and she peered at her Father. "Yes, we went to see Gardulla. What of it?"

"Leila, how many times have I told you that that gangster is dangerous!"

"She's not half as dangerous as Jabba. And Jabba likes me."

Qui-Gon stared at the screen. "You had better be joking."

"That's why Gardulla didn't hurt us." Leila was standing on tip toe and talking into screen now. "We where smart enough to go and see Jabba first. And he sent Bib Fortuna with us. Gardulla couldn't do anything Jabba's main man there."

"He's not really a man, though see," said Obi Wan.

Leila's face disappeared from the screen for a moment and there was another thump. And Obi Wan shouted again. Leila's face reappeared.

"Are you beating up my apprentice?" demanded Qui-Gon.

Suddenly Obi Wan let out a yell and shot from his seat.

Leila whirled in surprise.

Obi Wan tackled her and they crashed to the floor.

"Don't tear up my ship!" called Qui-Gon. He heard the crash and sighed. He ducked out of the control room and headed for the front.

He entered the flight room and jumped backwards.

Leila and Obi Wan where going at each other's throats on the floor. Obi Wan had her pinned to the floor. But Leila bucked hard and rolled over.

Qui-Gon sighed and stepped over them. The ship had by now entered space. "We're getting ready to make the jump to lightspeed." He turned.

They had ignored him.

Qui-Gon shrugged and made the jump.

Leila and Obi Wan flew through the door and down the hall away. They slammed into the wall and slid to the floor.

Qui-Gon turned with raised eyebrows. He smiled and turned back around.
