Chapter 1
Sabine's P.O.V.
"So you're saying that the best time to sneak into Hera's room would be when we're landing on Raada?", I said confused, "I know we concluded that while it is late now, we pretty much woke up like three hours ago, but I think you might want to consider going to bed Ezra".
"Haha, very funny Sabine, but think about it. Hera can't afford any distractions when she is landing, especially on Imperial territory, which makes it the only moment in the near future when we can go in without having to worry about her checking", he explained.
"Aren't you the one that said we should wait because she might be suspicious or something? She is acting pretty strange", I said, raising an eyebrow.
"Hey! Don't use my words against me, you're the one that got curious in the first place", he said.
I rolled my eyes. There has to be a better way to get in sooner or later.
"What if we just get into so much trouble, we get grounded from a mission?", he suggested.
"What?! I don't want to be grounded! And Chopper would probably stay and keep a close eye on us, it wouldn't work", I said looking at the floor.
Maybe what she has in her room isn't really that important. We should be concentrating on different ways to defeat the Empire.
"What if we devise a series of pranks that are going to distract everyone long enough for us to go in and check out the closet. At least for a slight glance. You could stand watch and I could go in. If anyone comes, I'll be able to squeeze into the vents for cover", Ezra said.
Has he been mumbling different plans to break in while I was thinking? He sure has a wide imagination.
"I think this last week or so of traveling has left your brain a bit jumbled. Are you sure you don't want to go rest?", I said.
"Hey! Maybe that's it!", exclaimed Ezra.
"What's it?", I asked confused.
"Yeah! That could work", he keep saying, looking at nothing.
What the heck got into him?
"Sabine, what if we sneak in while she's resting or relaxing?", he said.
"Are you crazy!", I exclaimed standing up, "Go into her room, while she is there and risk waking her up?!".
"Of course not! That would be flat out suicidal. I meant while she and everyone else in the ship are taking a load off and relaxing, we can sneak in no problem. Hera and Kanan would probably be in the cockpit, Zeb would be in his room, Chopper will be recharging, and we can just walk in and out", he said.
"You mean like right now?", I answered.
He's in deep thought for some weird reason. Maybe he thinks this is the perfect time, actually, it kind of is.
I stand up and walk towards the door.
"Where are you going?", asked Ezra.
"To check out Hera's closet. It's the perfect time", I said.
I quickly made my way out into the hallway, "Hey wait up!", said Ezra, rushing behind me.
Unfortunately, someone was out here too.
"Zeb, hi, we were just going to get some food", improvised Ezra.
"Oh, well that's what I was going to do", Zeb answered, turning around and walking away.
"Did we just get away with this?", I whispered over to Ezra. In that moment Zeb turned around and looked at us, waiting for us to go join him.
We messed this up.
Ezra started walking in Zeb's direction with me close behind.
Kanan's P.O.V.
Well this whole trip was definitely, something.
Hera's gone with Chopper to set the course for Raada while everyone else went to their rooms. This might be the perfect time to talk to her about, everything that just happened.
I make my way to the cockpit and open the door.
"It wasn't that exciting Chopper, stop being such a grump", said Hera. She must be talking about our mission.
"Mind if I intervene?", I said walking in and sitting on the copilots seat.
"Not at all Kanan. I was just telling Chopper to go charge his battery", she answered, I'm assuming while glaring at Chopper.
Chopper grumbled something and proceeded to go away.
"Thank you for saving me from that droid for a while", joked Hera, chuckling.
"At your service captain", I answered.
We stayed silent for a moment, Hera setting a course and I'm just here thinking.
"So Kanan. Did you enjoy our little filed trip?", asked Hera.
"In a way I did. It was just so, dream-like, I wish I could've seen the temple in all its glory", I answered.
My feelings are all mixed, I have to release them. For the third time today. Relax….
"That sounds, conflicted", said Hera, "My feelings are stuck on seeing the dead".
"Don't remind me of that. Hearing and sensing everyone that was, IS dead. It felt wrong, all of the acceptance and peace I had with all of them now feels irrelevant, knowing I can just go back to a time where they're still alive", I rambled.
Hera seems to be in deep thought. Maybe she's thinking of something from the past.
"I know this seems to be related to me more than anyone else, but, are you alright?", I asked concerned.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just got stuck thinking on what you said of going back to see people. Imagine if you could save them. Hundreds of innocents could be saved. Of course, meddling with time doesn't exactly seem correct", she said.
What?
"I guess you have a point. The weird thing is we had to go back in time as part of our timeline. Maybe if we end up saving people in that way, would time actually change?", this is starting to make my brain hurt.
"You're bringing up some interesting points. But going back to you, did you ever feel overwhelmed by anything?", she asked.
"My senses for starters. Seeing a young Ahsoka also felt weird, especially as a non-Jedi, force user even. And I have some questions about that guy, who was he?", I started.
"I guess we'll never know now", Hera answered.
"Then being in the same room as the Jedi council. I felt like a padawan again", I said.
It was silent for a few seconds.
"I finished with the coordinates. I think we should go rest", she said, standing up, "Would you like some help getting to your room Kanan?".
"An excuse to walk with you? Sure", I answered. 'Smooth' Kanan…
I can just see her rolling her eyes.
