Disclaimer Nope. Still don't own Star Wars. But I do own Aviana and Kelsey. Thank goodness. If I did, I wouldn't be working in my crappy job now would I?
Chapter 5
Aviana
I let out a squeal in fright as a blast almost came near us as we ran up the ramp in the Falcon. I closed the door immediately as I took a quick look around the ship.
Still the same as it was years back.
"Come on I'm going to need help pilot this thing," the woman said as we all ran into the Falcon. I hit the button and it slammed shut.
"Go on in I'll be there," I told her as I turned back towards Finn. "The gunnar is down below
"Have you flown this before?" Finn asked me before he headed down.
I looked around a second before letting out a smirk to myself. "Perhaps," I said, meeting up with the girl in the cockpit.
I hope she knows how to fly this.
I don't even know how long this has been flown or when it was last flown. I was about to find out now.
"I can do this. I can do this," the woman kept saying to herself as she pushing different controls.
"Hey," I said, sitting next to her as she turned her attention towards me. "You can do this. I got faith in you."
"This ship hasn't flown in years so I don't know how far we'll get with it," she said.
"Don't give up hope just yet," I said.
She can only nod as we heard the Falcon gearing up to life. A sense of feeling washed over me as the ship started to levitate off the ground.
Oh here we go.
The girl took the controls and it took her awhile to navigate as we took off. I could see the tarps flying off the ship as we started to fly away.
"Stay low!" Finn's voice shouted from below.
"What?"
"Stay low so it can confuse their tracking."
"Got it," the girl said as the Falcon went slightly low.
I could see on the scanner two TIE fighters were on our tail. I started hitting buttons as I tried to help in any way I can. A shot hit the ship and it made a jolt.
"Do you need help down there?" I shouted at Finn.
What the hell was going on down there? I was scared to even know.
"What is he doing back there? Are you ever going the fire back?"
"I'm working on it!" Finn's voice rang.
Oh this will not end well.
As we flew through the spaceships graveyard, one of the TIE fighters was still gaining on to us. I was working with the girl as Finn continued to try and shoot at the fighter. When the girl was maneuvering the ship, I saw that the fighter was then blown up and I couldn't help but smile.
"We got one down!" I called out.
"Nice shot!" the girl yelled back at Finn.
We weren't out of the woods just yet.
The girl then flew the ship in between the fall ships that lied on the ground. She turned the Falcon into an old star destroyer and I saw that the last TIE fighter was catching up. The next thing I knew, the Falcon jerked again as we flew out of the star destroyer.
"Um, guys? The cannon's stuck in forward position I can't move it!" Finn yelled. "You got to loose him!"
"Oh no," I said.
The girl then grabbed a hold of something on the control panel. "Okay. Get ready!" she said.
"Okay...for what?!" Finn asked.
"Oh god we're going to die aren't we?" I asked, holding on to my seat.
She didn't say anything as she sailed the Falcon upward into the rear of the old Star Destroyer. I could make out the shadow of the TIE fighter as it was gaining on us. I saw that there was no more room for the both of us to get out and I panicked.
We're going to die.
Then the girl yanked on the switch and the ship made a sharp right turn. I almost fell out of my seat as she did that. I sat up quickly and reached over for the power to shut down as the Falcon flipped upside down. I could see a shot fly out of the gunnar from the Falcon and the TIE fighter was hit square point.
"Aha! We did it!" I cried out in joy.
Finn gave a joyful shout as the last TIE fighter blew into bits. I couldn't help but grin widely as we flew of out Jakku and into space.
We actually did it.
-LINE BREAK-
"Oh my kriff," I said as me and the girl went out of the cockpit to meet Finn. "I didn't think we'd do it."
"Me either," the girl said. We looked over and saw Finn coming out from the gunnar below.
"Hey nice shooting," the girl said.
"Thanks, nice flying," he said. "How did you do that?"
"I don't know," she said.
She and Finn went at it talking about how they managed to do everything without being taught. Even I was impressed by both of them.
"I've never left the planet, but I did flown ships before," she said, making me catch the last sentence she said.
"You've never left that planet at all?" I asked her in amazement.
"No," she replied. "I'm sorry I don't know your names."
"I'm Finn," Finn said, introducing himself.
"Rey," the girl said.
"I'm Aviana," I said, pausing for a second. "Skywalker."
It was time for them to know now rather than later, right?
"Wait a second, you're his daughter?" Rey asked in shock.
"No way," Finn said.
"I am. I'm sorry I had to hide that from both of you. Given the situation we're in now and I couldn't risk it. Not that I don't trust you both or anything it's just..."
"It's alright," Rey said interrupting me. "I feel horrible for calling him a myth."
"No don't be. When my father disappeared for almost 15 years then yeah rumors do tend to float around," I said in an almost bitter tone.
The three of us stood around as Bee then rolled over to Rey. Bee let out a couple beeps as I knelt down next to him.
"It's alright Bee," I told him. "We're going back home and we'll find Poe. I'm not giving up on him."
"Yeah I know these two can help you get back to the Resistance," Rey told him.
"Yep, we will," I said, raising an eyebrow at Finn.
Something burst behind me as I saw steam come flying out of it. The three of us ran over and Finn and I remained outside of the compartment as Rey jumped in. She went to find out what the problem was as I kept a close eye on Finn as he helped her out.
I would've known if he was part of the Resistance unless...
No. No way he could be part of something else.
Could he?
"Jakku?! Why does everybody want to go back to Jakku?" Finn asked.
"Wait who is?" I asked, turning towards them.
"I am. Once I get you three back to your base in the Illenium system," Rey replied.
I looked over at Finn who was nodding his head vigoursly at me. Confused myself, I gave him a tight smile. Yep, I was so getting down the bottom of this when I do have a spare moment with Finn.
Something was definitely up.
"But why?" I asked. "And how would you get your way back?"
"Yeah why go back? Got family there? A boyfriend? Cute boyfriend?" Finn asked.
"None of your business that's why," Rey replied in a snippy tone to Finn.
A low noise interrupted everything making the lights dim a little. I looked over at the two of them and we had matching worried looks on our faces.
"What the hell was that?" I asked.
We ran towards the cockpit and looked out the window. I couldn't see well and Finn was trying to get a better look even though he had to push Rey out of the way which made her grunt a little.
"We're getting pulled into it," Finn said.
"What would they want with us?" I asked.
"You fixed it right?"
"Yeah?" Rey replied.
"Can you unfixed it?" Finn asked.
"We better do it quick like now," I said, leaving the cockpit.
We all rushed towards the main hold and Rey quickly disabled what she had fixed. I ran and grabbed my blaster as I climbed down into the compartment. Rey then jumped in after me as Finn helped her with Bee. Rey quickly reached over to cover the compartment and we had oxygen masks over our faces so we wouldn't die.
This felt like it was years ago when my father had abandoned me and my mother after everything was destroyed.
We remained quiet as we heard heavy footsteps. I was trying to calm myself down as I looked to Rey, Finn and Bee.
It wasn't until the compartment opened above us and the three of us stared at the person, I was in complete shock as I haven't seen them in six years.
"Vee?"
"Uncle Han? Chewie?"
A/n Hi all! Hope you're doing well and enjoying the beginning of summer wherever you are in the world! Though it's yet to start here, heat waves are no fun XP.
Normal update should go back on schedule next week fingers crossed.
I think I'm good for the rest of the month to update until the end of July since I'll be out of the country for two weeks on vacation. I'm still not sure whether to put my stories on a hiatus or what but I'll have a plan somewhat figured out by then.
Anyways, thank you for the birthday wishes and love! You guys rock and stick around for what's about to happen next! For those who are finishing up school/finals I wish you all luck and see you all next week!
Until then,
Vicky
