Hey everybird! What's up!?

There is not much to say at the moment, so lets just get to today's questions!

So today's question is…

Which of the two Star Wars Stories movies so far did you like better?

Me: Definitely Rogue One, for many reasons, it offers a whole new set of characters, all of who were great, even thought they suffered a tragic end. The movie is a wonderful prequel to A New Hope and combines like the old with the new, which worked out well. And I'm a sucker for the story of the small, struggling Rebellion versus the powerful and mighty Empire. And that Darth Vader scene at the end… Still gives me chills, but in a good way! Now there are lots more reasons, but we will be here all day if I go on!

Moving on to your questions!

From Stormknight089, he asks, "With your permission, may I borrow your Amazonian life story?

Me: I'm not really sure… It's not that I don't trust anyone with my stories I pass on, but the concern is that it would end up a lot differently than I imagined and well the series loses what it's meant to be. So for now, I don't know, I'm in the middle at the moment.

From T8ECR34TOR, he asks, "What do you think would sound like the most awesome vacation for you and your family?"

Me: Well not so sure about my family, since we all have different ideas for a vacation, but I always wanted to visit Denmark, the birthplace of Lego, that has always been my dream since I was little and building things with the Lego bricks I have at home.

Chapter 14: End of the Beginning

A Year Later…

(Arthur's POV)

Today was the day, the day Tyler and I finally graduate from the academy, but first showing off our skills and all that we have learned through the years as Fleet Week came once again to the New Republic's capital, the majority of the Navy gathered for the celebrations. As the New Republic military personal was getting ready for the main celebrations, Tyler and I were in the academy's hangar, doing our own preparations…

"Yes Easy…" I rolled my eyes at a red and white BB model droid. "I'm sure everything is in order. "I told the droid as I was looking into the cockpit of a T-85 model X-Wing.

"Hey Arthur, looks like you're missing something." I heard my brother's voice from behind.

"What exactly?" I asked as I turned around.

"This." My brother, who had a blue and white BB droid next to him, answered as he tossed up my helmet to me, managing to catch it as I blushed. "You can't fly if you don't have that."

"Thanks brother, I guess I forgot it in all my excitement." I replied as Easy laughed at me.

Yes I was very excited as everything was coming together, a few weeks ago Tyler and I along with the rest of our classmates were given our new droids we would have as our co-pilots, the newer BB models, unlike Alex and Ashley, being old R2 units, BB models were balls, with a domed head, smaller and much more mobile, but had a stronger computer. And just a couple of days ago, we were all introduced to the most exciting part, our new fighters, the latest T-85 X-Wing models we would be flying in the celebrations and when we would join the New Republic Navy.

"Sure thing brother, but don't think I'll do it every time." Tyler chuckled as he looked down to the droid next to him. "Come on Lucy, lets go check if our fighter is all ready." Tyler spoke to his droid as Lucy beeped back a "Yes".

Getting back to my own preparations, everything was all set and in order as it was just about time for our part in the celebrations to start, jumping into the cockpit as Easy was lowered into the socket behind the cockpit, I took a deep breath as I had one wing on the flight stick and the other starting up the engines as I closed the cockpit, letting out the breath as mom's voice came through comms.

"Okay class, lets show everyone who's the best, I expect nothing less, keep calm and just remember everything you have learned." Mom told her whole class as her voice came back a couple of seconds later. "And Arthur, do your best son, I know you wouldn't disappoint me." Mom told me privately through comms as I knew that dad must be saying the same thing to Tyler.

"Don't worry mom, I got it, right Easy?" I replied back to my mom as I looked back to my droid, who beeped back a "Yes".

With the wingtip up from flight control, it was time to start our part in the week long celebrations as I gently guided my fighter off the landing spot to take position in line with the rest of my class, my mom, with of course the relic that was her fighter, being up first. With the ground signalman putting his wing down and stepping aside, it was time to go as the classes headed out, putting my fighter into full gear when I could, I flew out of the hangar, staying on formation with my classmates.

"So far so good…" I said under my breath as I enjoyed the feeling of flying, the complete freedom of it as the first classes started their demonstrations, showing off what they have learned to the crowd of onlookers on one of the large balconies on the academy, which I knew included Grandpa Blu and Uncle Nico. "No pressure." I told myself.

(Tyler's POV)

As I watched the classes show off their skills, I had no fear, I was sure I was going to do better and be one of the best cadets today. And well soon enough it was time for me to do so as dad's class turn came as his voice came alive through comms.

"Alright cadets, time to show that you're ready to become pilots." My dad spoke in confidence.

Speeding up, dad took his class through all kinds of maneuvers, twists, loops, inverts, you name it, we did it, it was easy enough as my dad put us to the limit of pure stress and endurance. And yet I didn't feel worse, but better as the adrenaline and excitement got to my head.

"Man, I should have been doing this a long time ago!" I shouted out excitedly as I couldn't contain myself, and if I did, I would realize…

"Tyler…" My dad's voice came through. "You have a live unit." My dad's voice told me.

"What?" I asked as I was confused.

"Your comms are on, all your classmates and I can hear everything you're saying." My dad clearing that up as I blushed deep red, clearly embarrassed."

"Oh… Right, sorry about that." I replied as I turned back to my droid. "You could have warned me Lucy." I told my droid as she laughed at me a little.

"Okay cadets, time for the big finish." My dad told the class. "Execute dive." My dad told us as he was going to copy mom's move, to which I had to smile from.

With the class forming into a "V", with my dad at the tip, we dove down, down aiming for the balcony, the onlookers getting bigger and bigger until at the last possible safe moment, dad pulled up, the rest of the class following as the onlookers cheered, clearly impressed, I wonder how mom's feeling right now about dad copying her move…

(Lisa's POV)

"Hey that's my move honey!" I complained to my husband as his laughing voice answered me back.

"All's fair in love and war my love…" Tiago chuckled back as he was clearly enjoying the impression he made on the onlookers. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll come up with something that's equally good."

"You just want me to buy the rounds don't you…" I snapped back as I turned off comms to Tiago and turned back on the frequency with my class. "Okay class, our turn's coming up, it's time to show what we're made of." I said as I turned to Alex. "You ready Alex?" I asked my droid as he gave back a very positive "Yes".

As Tiago's class were finished, they made their way back to the hangar, to rest up from all the flying as I and my class stepped up to take center stage. With the onlookers watching, I started out simple, making my way from the basics to the more advanced as I pushed my cadets to the best of their abilities. Eventually came our time for the big finish as I quickly thought of how to impress the onlookers even more than Tiago did, speaking to my cadets, I gave them the instructions on what we would do.

"Okay, the first half of you closer to me will follow me, Arthur you lead the second half split off, I'll come in from the bottom, Arthur, you come from the top." I instructed.

"Ma'am, what exactly are we doing?" Poe asked.

"We're going to almost fly into each other, right above the onlookers and then shoot up straight." I answered.

"Ma'am, are you sure this is a good idea?" Arthur not sure as he then expressed his greater concern. "And are you sure I'm up for it?"

"Trust me Arthur, you'll do fine." I reassured my son as we quickly set up for the big finish as Alex beeped back with sorry at me.

"Yes Alex, I'm sure, Arthur will be fine." I told my droid as I was in position, seeing Arthur's half in position. "Okay cadets, now!" I ordered as I sped up, heading straight for just above the crowd of lookers, Arthur diving down in turn…

(Arthur's POV)

"Okay, okay, I got this…" I told myself in my head nervously as the crowd of onlookers got bigger and bigger in the cockpit view, mom and her half of the class coming in, I waited and waited until the last moment. "Pull up!" I told the half of the class with me as in reaction I closed my eyes, too scared to keep them open and see if we successfully pulled off the move.

The roar of my fighter's engines was drowned out by the sound of my rapid beating heart, only with Easy beeping at me did I finally open my eyes to see I was alright. My fighter still intact as I was relaxed and looked around, everything in one piece as my comm unit came alive.

"Arthur, you still there?" My mom's voice coming in.

"Yeah, what happened?" I replied back with haste. "Did we pull it off? Did anyone crash or get hurt? I'm sorry I missed everything, I closed my eyes."

"It's oaky son, we did it, turn your fighter around." My mom chuckled back and then realized… "Wait, did you say you closed your eyes?"

"What? No…" I blushed. "You heard wrong…" I replied as Easy was beeping at me. "Yes, I know I closed my eyes Easy, you better not say anything to mom after." I sternly told Easy as I turned my fighter 180 degrees to see the crowd of onlookers cheering and giving wingtips up for the exciting big finish as I could finally smile.

"Okay cadets, lets bring it in." My mom's voice came through comms again as I rejoined with my classmates, flying smoothly to the hangar at the academy, gently going in and then landing down on the spot for my fighter.

After the landing gear touched down on the ground, I could finally take off my helmet as I opened the cockpit, waiting for the ladder to be brought for me to climb down. As I climbed down, I was met by Tyler, Poe, and Tally, who came to congratulate me on the good job.

"Nice move brother, looks like mom really put you up for it." Tyler playfully slapping my back.

"Yeah, now I doubt we got first place this year." Tally added.

"Well, lets not just stand here, lets go check it out." Poe urging us as the rest of the cadets went to see the scores and sure enough mom came out on top yet again…

After that, we all changed out of our flight suits, to our more normal clothes before the two classes headed for the bar to celebrate for the night. As the classes were going, I could see the disappointed look on dad's face as mom kept teasing him. Arriving at the bar, the classes went in and started the party, getting drinks and toasting each other. As I was sitting with Tyler, Poe, and Tally, I could see dad getting the drinks for him and mom as they toasted each other, happy with the day.

"Hey brother, stop looking at mom and dad and focus on celebrating!" Tyler said loudly to me as he handed me my first drink of the night as the four of us raised our glasses for a toast.

"To our futures in the Navy." Poe toasted.

"Copy that." I smiled as I touched glasses with my brother and two friends as we then each took a hearty drink from our glasses, the feeling of accomplishment in the sip as I turned to my brother. "Well brother, looks like this is the end of the beginning for us."

If only the boys knew that soon enough the First Order will emerge and make their presence known…

So I hope you enjoyed and I think that's it for now, so…

See everybird later!
