Hey everybird! What's up!?

So we got some red information regarding Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker, in that there's going to be a new First Order armor set for their troopers, the Sith Troopers, as they're called, which honestly isn't a big reveal, because it's just a normal First Order stormtrooper, except the white color is replaced by red… But maybe they'll be a bigger reason for this, most likely they're an elite unit.

Moving on to today's question…

Do you want to buy some death sticks? (If you get this question, I love you!)

Moving on to your questions…

From Stormknight089, he asks, "Have you ever thought about doing a crossover story?

Me: Honestly no, and I don't think I ever will.

From T8ECR34TOR, he asks, "Have you ever established what actress you would like to hear as Lisa's voice? Or Lisa's older-self for this story?

Me: Well it may be obvious, but I would like to hear Andrea Libman, aka the voice of Fluttershy (Who is best pony and that's a fact!) and Pinkie Pie, as Lisa. I could also imagine Tara Strong voicing her as well.

And with that done, lets move on to the next chapter!

Chapter 11: Set Future

One Year Later…

(Arthur's POV)

It was a few days before my brother and I would turn 16 and any day now the letter would come to tell us if we got accepted into the academy and begin our flight and combat training as pilots. Lucky for us, we had a distinction as our family, yes even Alex and Ashley included, were on a civilian transport heading for our mother's home world. Since my brother and I were… Well teenagers, we couldn't very well sit on our parents' laps anymore, in their own X-Wings, there was simply no more room for two occupants, well with one being an adult and the other a very young kid.

Only our mother wasn't bothered by that fact, for this visit to her home world again wasn't just for visiting her Uncle and our grandpa, Eddie, but to attend the anniversary of her parents' deaths, who were buried on a hill, underneath a mound of dirt and glass glowing on it. Dad was comforting mom as he had a wing wrapped around her, both my brother and I knowing that whenever we did come for this, it was hard for our mother.

"Mom, are you sure you're going to be okay, every year you get a little more emotional." I quietly asked, meaning no offense to my real grandparents, uncle, and auntie.

"Yes Arthur, I'll be okay, it's not like they didn't die in vain." My mother replied. "I still wish they could just enjoy this freedom that we're having."

"I'm sure wherever they are honey, they're living happily." My dad kissing my mom's cheek and giving a comforting smile as he helped wipe some tears away.

Soon enough we arrived, coming out of hyperspace to see the blue and white world of Belladoon, boy was it always a joy to see that lush world, so different than the mundane cityscape of Hosnian Prime. If it wasn't for the academy, I wished we lived here, mom's home world looked like a very peaceful place, considering that during the war it was under Imperial occupation and everything was all dull and grey. The transport made its way through the planet's atmosphere, passing through white clouds as it descended down and down until the cloud cover was broken and we could see the world's capital below.

"Attention passengers, this is your captain speaking, we're on final approach and been given clearance to land at the spaceport, please make sure you have all your belongings and remain seated." The captain in the transport's cockpit, announced through the speaker system.

The transport started to slow down as it went lower and lower until it gently landed down at one of the docking ports, the transport's airlock opening as passengers started getting off. As our family got up and walked out, we all smiled seeing that someone was in fact waiting for our arrival, mom being the first to give our greeter a hug.

"Uncle Eddie, it's so good to see you again, it's been awhile." My mom said as Grandpa Eddie hugged mom back.

"It's good to see you too Lisa." Grandpa Eddie said before he saw my brother and I. "Look at you boys, growing up and strong, just like your parents." Eddie breaking the hug with our mom as he gestured for a hug from us.

"It's great to see you too Grandpa Eddie." Tyler replied as we shared a hug with the elder male.

"And I really feel like a grandpa too, but still here, feeling great, and leading this world." Eddie smiled. "But, lets not waste anymore time for the true purpose of your visit, I already have a private speeder for us to travel to our destination."

So following Grandpa Eddie, we exited the spaceport, seeing the speeder waiting for us, the driver noticing Eddie as he waved to him, Eddie waving back. As everyone got in, the driver started up the speeder and after navigating the capital city's traffic, we were on the road, passing by lush green fields and rushing rivers as most of the day was spent just getting to my mom's old village.

(Tyler's POV)

As we were on the road, my brother and I just feeling the cool breeze going in our faces, Grandpa Eddie started up some small talk.

"So, I hear you two had your interview with the academy heads and waiting for their decision." Eddie started.

"Yes, it's been quite a long wait that I'm afraid we're not going to get in." I replied.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you boys will get the opportunity and if you don't, well they're missing out on two potentially great pilots." Eddie giving his vote of confidence. "And if you two are anything like your parents, I know you'll do great things."

"Thanks Grandpa Eddie, if only you could have convinced the heads as well." Arthur spoke.

"Governor, we're coming up on the village." The driver told Grandpa Eddie as sure enough a small village could be seen in the distance, not as rich or even large like the capital city, but it was of course even more quiet and peaceful, no wonder why our mother turned out so energetic and wanting to go out and see more, but that's not to say that this place is bad by any means, just too ordinary for like our mom is like.

Entering the village, the speeder slowed down as we began getting off, Eddie speaking first to the driver. "Should be only an hour or two before we're done and back to the capital."

"Yes Governor, don't worry, I wouldn't go anywhere outside the village." The driver nodded in understanding as Eddie got off and joined us.

Getting off the speeder, we could see we were already popular or should I say my parents, especially mom, every bird either bowing or waving as they recognized our mom, who smiled back, it was always nice to see that her fellow townsbirds were past, well their past, and living their life in happiness now. However we weren't here for simple reasons as we walked through the village, passing by more townsbirds as we exited the village, up a little hill.

And there it was, the small mound where our grandparents, Albert and Maria, Uncle Alex, and Auntie Liz were buried, flowers of various colors planted and growing strong. Our mom was the first one to go up and the first to knee down, lowering her head as I could hear the tears and soon enough see the watery drops fall down to the ground. Dad came to her side and made sure she didn't completely collapse as Grandpa Eddie, Alex and Ashley, as well as my brother and I were behind our parents. It took a few minutes for our mom to relax and form complete sentences.

"Hello my family, another year has passed without you, another year that has passed since the war was won and peace has returned, I wish you were here, enjoying this, how you all would have loved to see our home world once again alive and well." Our mom spoke. "I'm thankful I got a chance to live on and what's more, I have my own family to love and care for, in fact your grandsons and nephews may in fact become pilots, just like me and their father, they just have to be accepted into the academy and I hope you're wishing they get in as well, they sure need it."

It would be nice to think that not only those who my brother and I know personally, but those who are related and no longer here, are rooting for us. As our mom was finished mourning her family, the rest of us got our moment to say how much we miss the four birds buried here, even my brother and I said a few words in respect, even if we never saw our mom's family.

(Lisa's POV)

After we were finished with the visit to my family, in which Tiago had to help walk me down the hill, holding onto me, we waited for the driver to take us back to the capital city. By than, the evening sun was coming down, as the sky turned a bright orange, as we entered the capital city and the speeder took us to Eddie's home. Staying the night to rest up for the trip back to Hosnian Prime, we slept, waking up the next morning to board the next transport back home.

"Goodbye Lisa, I'll see you next time you come visit." Uncle Eddie told me.

"Hopefully it wouldn't be too long." I replied as I gave the closet bird to my past family a big hug.

After we broke the hug, I got onto the speeder where my family was waiting for me, to take us to the spaceport for our trip back home. Once we arrived, we boarded the next transport for Hosnian Prime and left my home world, as the transport prepped for hyperspace, I stared out the window, seeing the green and blue world and for some reason, I felt like that one day I might never get to see it again…

I put that feeling away as after a few hours of hyperspace travel, we arrived back at Hosnian Prime, the city world of course much different than my home planet as the transport made its way down to the cityscape surface, gently touching down at its dock at the spaceport.

"Home, sweet home…" Tiago joked as we exited the transport.

Taking a taxi back to our apartment building, we saw a very familiar bird waiting at the building's entrance, a male Scarlet macaw, who was holding onto an envelope. As we exited the taxi, Tiago and I saluted to the Scarlet.

"At ease you two." The Scarlet saluted back.

"Commander Felipe, this is strange, what can we do for you?" Tiago asked.

In the months after the Battle of Jakku, as Blu decided to retire from active military service and become a director at the Starfighter Academy, he gave command of the reorganized Blue Squadron to Captain Felipe, who was promoted to Commander. With his new duties, Felipe wasn't around too often, but still maintained a relationship with his friends.

"Actually it's not about you two, but your sons." Felipe answered.

"Us?" Arthur asked, confused.

"Yes, I was just at the academy, as a guest speaker to a class, when I was done, Director Blu asked me for a favor, to deliver this to you boys." Felipe holding out the letter for my boys to take, which Arthur did, my son opening the envelope and taking out a letter while Tiago and I came to my sons's side to read it as well.

"To Arthur and Tyler,

First off, I wish you a happy 16th birthday, I'm sorry to say that because of pressing matters that require my attention at the academy, I will be unable to say so on the day. However please accept this letter as like an early birthday present…

Arthur and Tyler, you both have been accepted as cadets into the New Republic Starfighter Academy as soon as your 18th birthday passes. As cadets, you of course will learn all there is to know about being a Starfighter pilot, to one day join the New Republic Navy to safeguard the galaxy from any threats. Now it wouldn't be easy, you will face challenges and have to work hard to achieve that goal, you may fall, but you two can get back up again. However I have no doubt in your abilities and will to make it. I wish you both the best of luck during these years."

From your Grandpa Blu."

"We did it…" Tyler said slowly in slight disbelief as he finished reading.

"I… I can't believe it…" Arthur agreed with his brother's dumbfounded expression.

"Well believe it boys, it's the truth." I told my sons as I knew that inside they were screaming with joy, they just couldn't express it for real.

I just hoped that they made the right choice in wanting this, for I had a funny feeling that things could very well go wrong…

And with that… The two brothers have secured their destiny, only time will tell what will happen now…

And I think that's it for now, so…

See everybird later!
