Disclamer: These charaters do not belong to me (exept for Kasey). They all belong to George Lucas. I am not getting paid for this, it is for mine (and yours) entertainment only. Please do not sue, press charges or anything like that.

The story starts off after Ben Kenobi is lost and now the Rouge Squadron and getting ready to Destroy the Death Star...

The air in the Rouge docking bays was eerie. Kasey Craten pushed herself out from underneath the x-wing she had been working on, hearing the sound of approaching footsteps. She brushed her bangs from her eyes and pulled her greasy gloves off her hands. The new guy, Luke Skywalker, was coming to the ship she was working on. "Nerves?" she asked.

"Just a bit." Luke said, climbing up the ladder.

"You'll be fine, just trust in yourself." Kasey said, finding a little liking in Luke. "You know Biggs right?"

"Yea. We have known each other since we were young." Luke said.

"Good. He's part of the red group, like you. Just stick with him and you'll be all set." Kasey stepped back as the cockpit slid shut. She jumped down, walking out of the way of the departing ships, turning once to wave, as she pulled her hair into a tighter bun.

After the battle was always the worst of times, and the best. Kasey hated being in the comm room listing to what was going on outside, and when someone didn't make it. She felt bad for telling Luke to stick with Biggs, and now he didn't make it.

The best thing is the after-party. It's were all the pilots go to the local bar and celebrate. Kasey looked up seeing the door open and Luke come in. She motioned him to come and sit down at the table she and Wedge sat at.

"I herd you took the shot. Good job." Kasey said as Luke sat down across from her, next to Wedge.

"Thanks. Good work on the x-wing, it runs great." Luke said, nodding as other pilots came and congratulated him.

"You ok? You sound a bit stuffed up or something." Kasey said.

"Yea, I'm sorry. Everything is just going by so fast." Luke said, feeling the loss of his friends.

"Here. I know that something that will cheer you up." Kasey raised her voice to call the waiter. "Can you get us to Ice Reds?"

"No, no. I can't let you do that." Luke said, glancing at Wedge, who was deep in conversation with someone.

"It's not a heavy drink," Kasey said ignoring Luke. "Besides we can't let you have a hangover the day of the awards ceremony."

"Awards ceremony?" Luke asked before he took a sip of his drink/.

"Yea, you can the two freighter pilots are getting one." Kasey said.

"I don't think we were properly introduced. Names Luke Skywalker," he said, giving out a hand.

"Kasey, Kasey Craten. "She said, shaking his hand.

"Listen Kasey, do you have a comm number, or something I can contact you with?" Luke said, glancing around the bar.

"Yea, my number in 10255592." Kasey said and watched as Luke entered it into his comm's memory. "Do you have one?"

"Mines 16278513. "He said as Kasey entered it number-by-number.

It was well into night when the bar finally slowed down. A very sleepy Luke and Kasey finally left and walked each other to their apartment buildings. They were both surprised when they found out that they only live a few floor from each other.

As Kasey started getting ready for bed, she felt something different about herself. Was she in love? She thought about Luke and all they talked about at the bar. Did Luke like her back?

The same thoughts were also running threw Luke's mind as he also got ready for bed.
