Chapter 2: Wedge Antilles
Sorry it took so long to update. This didn't end up the way I planned. Sorry if Wedge is OOC. There is no relationship between Wedge and Corran, except friendship. :)
Wedge had called Admiral Ackbar. He was talking about how Tycho was innocent. Then he heard a strangely familar voice say that it was Erisi Dlarit. Who is that? And why is he so familiar, thought Wedge. He shrugged it off. The good news was spread through the Squadron. Tycho was found innocent. He was happy. At least he didn't lose Tycho too. Luke was flying his X-wing with them. He smiled knowingly at Wedge when they had landed. He knew something.
Wedge walked to Tycho Celchu and hugged him with all his might. He didn't care what the Squadron thought. He was happy, but not too happy. Corran's death weighed heavily on his heart. He shouldn't have made friends with him, but it was hard not like him. He had everything Wedge was looking for in a friend. He had charm, but he was kind. He could be funny, but knew when to stop. He didn't take many things personally. Mirax walked forward and hugged Tycho.
"Congrats on your freedom, Tycho," said Mirax.
"Thanks," said Tycho. She walked off and wiped her eyes. She missed Corran. They all did. Gavin looked quite upset about it as well. Gavin shook his hand and said he was happy for him and walked away to his quarters. He knew this was going to be fun. They were going to be causing Wedge to go insane. Then Corran will talk to Mirax and Gavin Darklighter. Gavin will be happy for sure. Mirax might slap him, but oh well. He doesn't need to know that.
"Wedge, let's go to your office. He knew that Corran was already in there hiding. He knew that Wedge was going to deny it for a while.
"Alright. I'm glad you aren't charged for anything. How did you win?" Wedge asked.
"Oh, Rogues do the impossible," said Tycho, avoiding the question. Wedge wished Corran could do the impossible and come back from the dead. He wouldn't though. He never would. It would haunt Wedge until the end of his days.
"That doesn't answer the question," said Wedge.
"I know," said Tycho and he fell silent as Wedge put his password in. He walked into the room and froze. Corran was sitting in his seat. Corran got up and walked to a corner. He didn't even looked at him.
"Do you see that, Tycho?" asked Wedge.
"What?" asked Tycho.
"Corran," answered Wedge with tears in his eyes. Was he back?
"I don't see anything," said Tycho.
Wedge's world fell around him. Corran was dead and he was seeing things. The tears started falling. He couldn't do this. He needed to get out of there. He needed to go somewhere that didn't remind him of Corran, but that was the problem. He saw Corran everywhere. He tried to run away. Someone had grabbed his arm. He turned around to tell Tycho to go away. Corran had a small smile on his face and concern shown clear in his eyes.
"Corran?" Wedge croaked out.
"Yes, I'm here," said Corran. Wedge hugged Corran tightly. Tears of joy overflowing from his eyes. Corran wrapped his arms around Wedge. Everything was right for that moment.
