Disclaimer Roses are red, violets are blue, I don't own Star Wars and neither do you. Wow no wonder I'm single XP. But in all seriousness I don't own Star Wars, I own Kelsey and yep.
Note I only know of Han's home planet based on research. If they're wrong I can go back and fix it.
See you guys at the bottom.
Chapter 11
Kelsey
Growing up in Corellia, the weather changed. I didn't mind it since it would always change whether it would be hot or cool. As far as I remember, I don't ever remember dealing with harsh cold weather growing up. .
But being on Hoth?
It was so damn cold everyday.
I don't know how they did it but I wasn't used to it.
I wore a heavy jacket with a scarf as I was getting my tools to head over to the Y-Wing to fix up. I walked towards the ship where I saw Artoo waiting for me. Yep, the little droid has been assisting me and between Luke as well.
I know I shouldn't worry but something was telling me that Luke had something to do with that.
Artoo beeped at me as I took off my jacket. I only had a light tan long sleeve shirt and white pants with light grey boots on.
"Alright Artoo, let's see what suprises await," I said, unscrewing the hood of the engine.
All I was met with thick black smoke coming out of the hood of the wing. I coughed as I tried to blow the smoke away from my face so I can see what I was looking at. I stared down at the engine and saw some wires that looked either worn out or burnt out.
"Well Artoo, I think I might be in over my head," I said.
This would be a bit of a challenge but it's nothing I can handle, right?
He let out a low beep as I leaned my head against my arm. I heard a few noises and looked over my shoulder to see a small group of the rebel soliders getting ready to head out on patrol. I saw Luke all dressed up so he could stay warm. I couldn't help but stare at him in his full uniform.
I mean is it okay to look at him without getting caught right?
When he started to look back, I quickly turned my head.
"Ready for some fun Artoo?" I asked a bit too quickly.
He let out a couple beeps as I smirked at him.
Time to get to work on this ship.
-LINE BREAK-
All throughout the day I worked on the ship and managed to help the other pilots with theirs when they had trouble. I kept going but I loved the job. There were different ships I learned about even though there were a few that I've never worked on before but it was definitely
One day it was getting towards mid-afternoon. I was underneath the ship trying to clip some wires together. I had double checked the engine earlier and managed to salvage some of the wires and the others I know are going to need to be rewired at some point.
I lied on the stretcher so I didn't see someone coming to me as I saw a pair of feet.
"Hey Artoo, think you can pass that pair of small pliers by you? These ones here aren't working out" I asked.
"Is it this one?"
"Let me see," I said, sliding out from underneath the ship. As soon as I reached for them, I looked up and shocked to see Luke standing in front of me. His hair was covered in little bits of snow and he was in his winter clothes.
"Um thanks. This is a surprise," I said.
"Hey. Sorry I didn't mea to startle you," Luke said.
"It's fine I thought Artoo would be here," I said, looking around.
"He had to check on my ship for something. What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I'm trying to connect these wires to the engine," I replied. "In all the years, I've never seen an engine of a Y-Wing like this. I don't think my old ship was this bad when I had it."
"Could there be something else wrong with it?"
"I don't know. There's something else about this ship that could have another problem but I can't pin point it which makes it worse," I said, tying my hair up in a high bun after it came loose.
"I hope it works out," Luke said, leaning against the ship slightly.
"Thanks but for now, I need to finish these few wires," I said, slowly lying back down.
"Kelsey, when was the last time you ate?"
That question was out of nowhere. I placed the pliers on my lap and peaked out from my spot.
"Um, not for a while," I replied, sliding back out to face him.
"Meaning..."
My eyes diverted from him as I started slide back underneath the ship.
"Not since yesterday," I replied.
I was pulled unexpectedly out from underneath the ship with a light squeal. I sat up with my eyes darting to Luke.
"Are you trying to kill me?" I asked.
"You haven't eaten since yesterday?" he asked incredously ignoring my question.
"One. It was last night and two, so what? I have my canteen of water over there. I did have something to nibble on before and I can always get something later," I replied, getting up from my spot.
I headed up into the cockpit to see the control panel. By the time I got up there, I haven't set foot in it when I heard more noise and I turned to see Luke putting my tools away.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Putting your tools away," he replied simply.
"Why?" I asked, climbing down the ladder of the ship.
"Because I'm taking you for lunch," Luke said.
"No no. I need to work on this part of the ship. You don't have to do that," I said.
"I don't have to but I want to. You already been here almost a week and you're working hard. I don't want you to go starving and something were to happen to you," he said.
"I will eat something. While I do appreciate the gesture,you don't have to worry about that. I can just...get something later on," I told him reaching for my kit when his hand lightly held on to my wrist.
"Kelsey, just for my sanity and yours, just please have lunch with me," Luke said.
I stared at him for a good minute. Okay maybe he does have a point and maybe I was a bit hungry after all. Oh how does he always have to bedazzle me?
Oh kriffing hell.
"Would you mind if I wash up? I got oil grease on me and well..."
"Oh of course do you remember how to get to the dining hall?"
"Oh yeah I remember Chewie showing me there the other day," I replied, grabbing my kit as we parted ways as I was heading to my room.
-LINE BREAK-
I washed off the grease on my arms and dried them. I took a look in the mirror and patted my hair down after I made it decent looking and made sure I didn't have any other grease spots or dirt on me.
Oh for goodness sakes it's lunch with Luke. It's not a date.
Is it?
Okay now I'm getting ahead of myself.
I headed out of the bathroom and left my room. All the way down to the dining hall, I was starting to get a bit anxious as if I couldn't wait to see Luke.
Which I am since I hardly saw him after my release. Okay maybe it's been two days but who's counting really?
I got to the doorway of the dining all and scanned the room. There were some people in there but it wasn't too crowded. I spotted Luke across the way and slowly walked over there. I started to get more nervous with every step I take.
It's just lunch. Nothing to worry about.
I walked over and picked up a few fruits as I got closer to Luke's table.
"Sorry," I said, sitting down across from him. "I took a bit longer than I should've."
"Quite alright, is that all you're eating?"
"For now at least," I replied. I saw him relax a little bit.
"So now I'm wondering how did a former farm boy turned war hero wind up being in the Rebellion after you blew up that Death Star?" I asked.
His eyes went wide and I could've sworn he almost choked on his drink.
This would a very interesting conversation.
A/n Ever had one of those chapters that you plan out perfectly and when you go write it, it's in shambles? Yep my current struggle at the moment sounded so better planning it in my head I hope works out next chapter. Gotta remember the saying..this too shall pass. (It better).
And just to answer a few responses
To the Guest who left me a review about my other story- I do plan on finishing Midnight Roses (twilight) hopefully sometime this year so keep an eye out for an update at some point.
JynCobain- I like her as an actress and AH you watch Grey's Anatomy too I hope? We're on season 13 where I live I'm not sure about you so I won't spoil anything if that's the case XD.
We're almost near 20 reviews with this story! I do forsee this story going to be either 21 or 22 chapters the way this is going so we'll see what happens. Leave me some love on the way out!
Thank you all for your continued support! I'll see you all next week!
