Rating: K
Genre: Friendship
Rey woke up and stretched out on her sandy bed, looking ahead to another day of long work for Unkar. She stood up and yawned, looking around at the other slaves. Then she frowned. Something was supposed to be special about today. The scavenger shrugged it off and headed outside.
Outside, the atmosphere was different than normal. More relaxed. Even...happier. Something really was special about today.
Unkar Plutt came up to her. "What do you have for me today, Unkar?"
Plutt chuckled. "It's Christmas, little one! All the slaves work until noon, then get the rest of the day off!"
Rey's eyes at that moment could have lit up Coruscant. Christmas! She had been waiting for this day ever since she had been kidnapped by those awful pirates! "Do you really mean it?"
"I do, young one. Now go get me your payment for the feast." Unkar pushed her towards the cleaning table, and the little girl gleefully ran to do her work, having something to look forward to for the first time in a long time.
Aww, Rey's so cute! Anyways, sorry for the shortness, but then again, this is a flash fiction. Review, please.
