Disclaimer I solemnly swear I'm up to no good. I'm only kidding, I don't own Star Wars I do own Kelsey and any other characters I have yet created. And a cat that likes to sometimes freeze my laptop for no reason XP

Note In my Pilot Mechanic series, Kelsey Solo is portrayed by Camilla Luddington (I know finally!) Only imagine her hair color a dark red.

See you all at the bottom.

Chapter 10

Kelsey

I stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom inspecting my gunshot wound on my hip early one morning. After I was almost knocked down the other day, I was surprised that no more damage was done.

It has been only a few days since I was released and settled into my room. It was just a regular room with a bed and bathroom with the necessities. I still hear the doctor's orders in my head as I was being released.

No heavy lifting or any strendurous activities until the wound was healed. It's not like I plan on lifting the Falcon anytime soon.

As for me being drugged, that's still remains a mystery.

Will I ever find out about that? Maybe or maybe not. I want to but at the same time I'm nervous about it.

I could see in the reflection of myself fully after I examined my hip. Dark circles underneath my eyes, I was a bit paler than I was when I was first brought here. Hey at least I got some color back, and my hair was up in a messy braid. I wore a white shirt and matching pants with a light grey vest and white boots.

Taking a deep breath, I walked out of my room and into the hall. I didn't know where I was going to go or who to see for that matter but I needed to be out of my room. I walked down the hallway and since I had no idea where I was going, I wounded up in the hangar.

All I saw were different ships of all kind. A cold air breezed past me and I rubbed my arms for warmth.

Maybe I should invest in a jacket.

But holy crap. I felt like I was in heaven.

I stood there in awe and I could tell that the Falcon was nestled in the far corner of the hangar. I walked inside and past the different ships as people around me were working on them. I stopped suddenly in front of an abandoned Y-Wing. It looked similar to mine only it looked new.

I walked towards the ship and inspected it. As I was doing that, I wondered why no one uses it.

"It's no use," a voice said.

I looked up and saw Leia and another man standing next to her.

"Sorry," I said, stepping away from the ship. "I was just looking I didn't mean no harm."

"Quite alright," Leia said.

"She is correct when this ship doesn't work anymore," the man said.

"It looks new though," I said.

"I know but the last owner was killed in action awhile back before we located here and even getting the ship here almost caused quite a mess," he said. "My apologies I'm General Rieekan."

"Kelsey Solo sir," I said, shaking his hand.

"It has come to our attention that you're a mechanic," he said.

"Yes sir," I replied.

"We've been talking and if you want the job here to help fix ships that the other pilots can't be able to do and the same with the driods," Leia said.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Um, yes of course," I said. "I don't know what to say but thank you."

I saw Leia trying to supress a grin as I was still reeling from the news. The fact that I can work here is something I couldn't believe. I thanked them once again and headed back into my room to grab a few things. When I went inside, I grabbed the part that Han needed and left my room.

As I was walking past one of the training room, I heard buzzing and stopped short and hid behind the doorway when I saw Luke inside. I saw that he was swinging a lightsaber around with a stimulator ball floating midair.

What the hell?

I had no idea any Jedi still exists from what I was told when I was younger. I have heard of stories about them when I was young. Han always called it mumbo jumbo since he doesn't believe in the force.

I took my time to study him quietly. His dirty blonde hair was a bit of a mess but I didn't mind it. He was wearing a white tank top with grey pants and his jacket was aside on the floor nearby. In the days of me being here, there was something about Luke. I don't know what it is but somehow I've been wanting to be near him. Though we talked a bit when he came and visit daily when I was in the medical center, I always felt...safe with him.

Could I be falling for him?

No way. That's impossible, isn't it? I barely known the guy for a few days at least. And besides, why would he want to fall in love with a girl like me anyway?

When I saw him stop, I darted down the hall.

If he would've saw me standing there ogling at him, who knows what the outcome would be.

-LINE BREAK-

Coming back into the hangar, I saw Han and Chewie by the Falcon working on the piece of junk. Barely containing excitement, I almost ran there trying to past people without bumping into them.

"I see you're finally moving around," Han said as I came closer. "You try not to go back in the med center."

"Oh relax, I don't plan on getting myself killled here as far as I know. And besides, it looks like I'm offically a mechanic for the Alliance after all," I said.

"You did? That's great," Han said as Chewie growled happily.

"Yeah apparently someone let slip of my mechanical skills while I was recovering," I said, raising an eyebrow.

"Don't look at me sis, I couldn't help but let them know how good you are despite of everything," he said.

"It's cool. I mean, I didn't expect to have a place here," I said, sitting down on a crate nearby.

Chewie groaned as he ruffled my hair which I swatted his arm playfully.

"So what do you got going on here?" I asked.

"Well that part you managed to give us works however one of the lines started to act up again," Han replied.

"Do you want me to take a look?"

"Thanks but we got this," he replied. "As soon as we try to get this going, we need to go pay off Jabba soon."

"You still haven't done that?" I asked.

"Why don't you announce that louder?" Han said rolling his eyes.

"Sorry but can you blame me? You know what would happen if you don't pay him," I replied.

"Kels, you got nothing to worry about," Han said.

"That's what I'm afraid of," I said.

Before Han and I reunited, I was off fixing ships and getting parts to different parts of the galaxy. We did reunite and I've helped him on his smuggling jobs for awhile until I had to take off after I almost got killed on one of the jobs.

"Does Leia and Luke know?" I asked.

"Not at the moment," he replied a bit quickly.

I raised an eyebrow at him. Maybe Han's crush on Leia was a bit more than he knows. I'll grill him on that another time.

"Oh."

"Why? Are you going to tell them?"

"No that's your thing to tell," I said. "I didn't know Luke does more training."

"Huh?"

"Training with that lightsaber. I didn't think it was his thing. I was walking by one of the training rooms and that what he was doing. He doesn't seem the type to be stressed or something," I explained.

"Oh that," Han said. "It's some mumbo jumbo he's training to be or whatever it is."

Chewie growled at him.

"Same thing," Han said. "You have a crush on the kid or something?"

"Uh what? And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you it'd be awkward," I said. Chewie let out a laugh at my statement.

"Oh laugh it up and don't take her side," Han said.

I looked between them two and shook my head.

"Okay then. Is my big toolkit still in the ship?" I asked, getting up from my spot.

"Should be," he said.

I walked up the ramp and into the Falcon. Looking around the ship, I couldn't help but grin a little at the memories of being on the ship when it was the three of us. I walked towards one of the storage compartments on the floor and opened it up. I climbed in and grinned when I saw my kit.

I placed the kit on the floor and climbed out of the storage compartment and sealed it shut. I took another look around and I couldn't help but get the sense that there was something else that was about to happen.

I just didn't know what.

A/n Oh Kelsey, deny deny deny all you want. You'll know your feelings for Luke soon ;-)

I know it felt a bit boring and nothing major happens (yet anyways) but it's something for now.

More of Kelsey's back story will be revealed in the next chapter or so. Also a mission is coming up for the heroes. I wonder what adventures will they get into next. I will write Luke's POV at some point in this story.

Don't forget to review! Also this story has 1,000 hits! Thank you all so much! I know most of you are reading it and I do appreciate the support, just drop a note on the way out. I don't bite and I never beg for reviews either but pleaseee review! I forever love you all.
