"Are we almost ready to go?" Sabine hurriedly asked. Her excited quite obvious in the way she spoke and dashed around outside of the spacecraft, which had been fueling up so the Mandalorian and her accomplice could finally head out. The Twi'leks had tried to get the two to rest for the night so that the ship could be fueled and checked over for repairs, but Sabine had declined, instead running a diagnostic on the ship herself and, now that diagnostics and fueling had finished, they could leave immediately
"Sabine, before you go," Hera had appeared in the doorway of the ship and set a box down next to her. "Here's some of Ezra's things. And You'll definitely need this." Hera handed Sabine something wrapped in a cloth. "It's Ezra's lightsaber."
"Thank you, Hera. I can't believe you kept this stuff all this time. I'm sure he'll be happy to see it." Sabine wrapped Hera in an embrace. Over the years, the Ghost crew had grown to be more than just a crew. They had become family, an even more tightly knit family than any Mandalorian clan Sabine had seen. "When we find Ezra, I'll bring him to see you and Jacen."
"That would be great." Hera said with a smile. "Now go find your Jedi."
Sabine's felt heat brush across her face at Hera's words and she shook her head with a smile. "You ready to go, Ahsoka?" Sabine asked as she turned to look at her companion.
"I am if you are!" Ahsoka said energetically. Anyone could tell that she was also excited to finally have a lead to find the missing Jedi.
"Well, I guess it's time for us to go then." Sabine turned back to Hera once again. "Thanks for everything, Hera." Sabine embraced Hera again before walking with her to the ship's entrance. "I'll see you soon."
"I know you will. Good luck." The sound of Hera's footsteps on the metal ships silenced as she stepped onto the ground of her planet again, the door closing behind her.
The ship seemed to be buzzing with Sabine's excitement as she walked back to the cockpit. The colors and light that the ship held seemed to shine a little brighter.
The colors of the Ryloth sunrise burned through the cockpit and spread through the ship, illuminating it bright red, orange, and yellow. The beautiful colors making Ryloth somehow even more pretty.
"Go find your Jedi."
Hera's words came to Sabine's mind again causing her face to heat up slightly again. How had she never realized her feelings for him until now? Her hand gripped the packaged lightsaber tighter. She remembered Ezra having to remake it after his first one had been destroyed.
The humm of the ship taking off woke Sabine from her thoughts. She stood in the doorway of the cockpit and watched as the city below them grew smaller and more distant and the sky around them grew darker.
"As long as we stay on track and nothing goes wrong, we should be able to make it to Rakata Prime within the week." Ahsoka spoke as she started typing in the coordinates Hera had given them.
"Sounds good to me," Sabine said optimistically. The stars around them turned into white streaks as the ship launched into hyper space. "I think it's my turn to watch the ship while you sleep. I'm the one that kept everyone awake last night."
Ahsoka smiled, "thanks ,Sabine, if you need anything just call." A yawn escaped her as she walked out of the cockpit towards her cabin.
ACROSS THE GALAXY….
Ezra's eyes snapped open.
Sabine. She had figured it out.
He could sense her getting closer. Now if only there were a way to reach her, and let her know he could sense her coming.
authors note: sorry for the short chapter guys, but hope you enjoy, see you next week!
The blue waves splashed against the rocks beneath his meditation area. He couldn't remember how long he'd been in this spot, trying to reach out to her, but not knowing if it had worked or if they were both just as lost before, but now, he sensed her coming. Someone had been able to send her a message, even if it hadn't been him.
