Sorry for the small wait: I've had a lot of traveling in the past month. This chapter begins to explore Candace's feelings about her rebel leaders a bit, more on that later. For now: enjoy!

"Urg." Candace groaned as the ship came out of hyperspace. The ride to Naboo had been extremely bumpy, and she now felt space sick. This confused her, as she had never felt space sick before, not on any of the sleek Imperial transports, or the bus-pod to the Death Star, not even that pilot girl's ship after their escape form the battle station. "So why now?" she wondered aloud.

"Why now what?" a voice asked. She jumped a little, hitting her head on the roof of her turret.

"Buford!" She shouted at her friend.

"What." he replied. " I was just hiding in the access tube to your turret, eavesdropping on you talking to yourself. Nothing wrong there."

"Well you can drop your eaves somewhere else!" Candace shouted, and kicked him back down into the corridor. She sighed, and shut the door to her turret. As she started to relax again, a voice came over the intercom.

"This is Leia Organa. We are landing in three minutes. Please report to your Senior Officer for reassignment." Candace groaned again. She opened the hatch and climbed down. Buford and Baljeet were already standing there. The intercom turned on again. "This is Leia Organa. I repeat: Please report to your Senior Officer for reassignment."

"I know, I know!" Candace shouted, slightly grumpy.

"You know she cannot hear you, right?" Baljeet said eagerly. He had been the most enthusiastic about joining the Rebellion among the three of them.

"Come on," Candace said, ignoring Baljeet. "Move it!" After a minute of hurried searching, they finally found the Chief Engineer bent over a pipe in the hydraulics room.

"The three of you are being assigned as guards to the princess while she negotiates the agreement with the Gungan leader, Boss Nass." He stood up. "Get your blasters from that locker. The trio looked where he was pointing. The 'locker' was a greasy box filled with wrenches. "No over there." He said. They looked where he was pointing. The actual locker was a locker, albeit a smelly one.

Ferb ignited his lightsaber. He was taken aback to find it had the distinctive red blade of a Sith, but then remembered that he had not gotten a chance to rebuild his own after being freed from the dark side. He chided himself for his laziness. Something rustled in the kitchen behind him. He whirled around, finding himself face-to-face with a deadly...Womp Rat. The desert rodent was known to be deadly to settlers in large groups, but a lone rat was no more dangerous than a Jawa (unless you were a droid). The creature stared at him for a moment before bounding out into the courtyard, and up into the desert above. Ferb sighed. He turned around, and headed into the kitchen. Womp Rats normally wouldn't wander into their compound; they had a shield that prevented the creatures from coming near. The only reason that would be down was if someone had forcefully entered the compound, and kidnapped his parents. Ferb quickly ruled out Tusken raiders, as he had not seen any bantha tracks near the compound. Jawas would not attack, just steal, leaving his parents behind, safe but angry.

Ferb headed to the garage, and pulled a tarp off of his father's old swoop bike. After refilling the tank, he pointed it towards Anchorhead, the nearest settlement. He could start his search for answers there.

"WEESA GUNGANS HAPPY TO HELP YOUSA!" Boss Nass said.

"Well that's great-" Leia began, but Nass started shaking his head from side-to-side, spraying water out of his mouth. He stopped, and Leia began to ask him something else, but he began shaking and spraying again. This went on for some time. By the time he finished, all five of them (Han, Leia, Candace, Buford, and Baljeet) were thoroughly soaked, with only Leia putting on a diplomatic face. The three former stormtrooper's new uniforms, standard Rebel Fleet Trooper issue, were especially sticky. With a start, Candace realized that it was because the princess and Solo had waterproofed their outfits before hand.

"So just who are these soldiers we're fighting with anyway?" Solo asked, the first time Candace had heard him speak.

"MEESA REPORTNG FOR DOODOO!" A gungan voice called out, startling the small group of rebels.

"NO! NO! NO JAR JAR!" Boss Nass shouted. "YOUSA BEING BOMBAD." The gungan turned and headed home with his regiment.

"That's a relief." Solo muttered

"THEESA ARE THE SOLDIERS WEESEA GONNA BEING FIGHTIN WITH!" The group turned and saw, much to Candace's horror, a dozen or so green-skinned gungans of Boss Nass' breed. They to began to shake their heads to, spraying so much water that the group was knocked backwards towards the edge of the lake.
