Chapter 20

Kelsey

Seven months later

Three weeks before Battle on Hoth

"I know what I'm doing."

"Are you sure? I mean this is my prized possesion."

"Han Solo," I said, poking my head out from the top of the Falcon in a mocked tone. "Do you dare doubt my ablities?"

"No I just don't want nothing happening to the ship," he replied.

I looked up at Chewie and rolled my eyes. I reached over for a part and screwed it in.

It's been seven months since my arrival, kidnapping, and a whole bunch of adventures. To say that I've been adjusting here well; I have.

Han and Chewie have been helpful in my transistion to staying here on the base as well and Luke and Leia. It made me feel more like home than any other planet I've been on and to say that I'm grateful for them, I got no words.

Leia and I have a good friendship. Of course we're completely opposites but after that talk that night I found out how I was tortured and drugged, we've became close and I can talk to her about almost anything that I don't want to tell the guys (not that I don't trust them or anything).

Luke and I well, we've definitely gotten closer.

To say that he's been helpful and been there, I'm still speechless. As my feelings for him grow more, I know to take it one day at a time and who knows where this might lead us.

"Everything okay with you two?" Leia's voice rang out.

"Oh you know, just the usual," I replied.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"We're fine just my brother being a worry wart," I replied. "And we're done."

"Thank goodness," Han mumbled as I climbed down the Falcon.

"You're welcome," I said.

"Kels, there is a few things that came in I want you to make sure that they were the right supplies," Leia said.

"Sure after I check on Dak's ship if that's okay. He told me that a wire is out and I don't know his driod was fixing it but somehow it malfunctioned," I explained.

"Of course," she said.

"Meanwhile your worshipfulness and I will have a nice little alone time after this," Han said giving Leia a cheeky gin.

"Han only you can be so delusional," Leia said rolling her eyes.

"Well this is going to be awkward," I said, leaving the two love birds alone.

As if I need to hear another argument between them two. I walked past my ship before heading towards Dak's ship.

Oh, that Y-Wing I was fixing up?

Yeah it's mine now.

I'll admit, I was very hesitant to keep it only for the fact that a rebel soldier would be wanting it more than a pilot mechanic. However, after a while of debating (me vs. Leia and the higher ranks, with some persuasion from Luke and Han) I wounded up keeping it.

I mean, I do need a ship to go on small trips if necessary.

Just because one mission goes wrong, it doesn't mean I'm afraid to go on them all the time. There was no way I was going to hide and be scared after everything.

After staring at the ship for another minute, I quickly made my way to my destination.

-LINE BREAK-

I shoved the toolbox back on the shelf and let out a long breath. The day was done and I couldn't wait just to eat and rest until tomorrow.

I closed the door of the storage room and started to head towards the dining hall. When I got there, I saw some people around but not the usual crew. I headed towards the counter and grabbed some fruit and a couple pieces of bread. I filled my drink up with water and found an empty table nearby.

As I started to eat, I looked over and I saw Luke enter the dining hall. I saw that he was looking for someone when he spotted me. His face lit up as I gave a shy wave at him. I got back to my business for a few moments before I heard someone pull up a chair across from me.

"Hey," Luke voice said softly.

"Hi, I didn't expect you here," I said, looking up at him.

"Yeah well I'd figure get something now and I was surprised to see you here," Luke said.

"I want to try and stay alive and at least take care of myself," I said.

"Good," he said in relief.

We had bits of small talk as we ate. I know how busy he can get since he is Commander of the Alliance but if I see him at lease a few times a day or once, I'm happy knowing he's safe.

Yeah this love thing though, it's not bad.

Maybe one day Luke will know.

Just maybe.

"Listen, Kels are you doing anything after this?" Luke asked.

"Not really why?"

"Good I can show you something after dinner," he said.

"Are you going to show me those Tauntauns again," I asked warily.

He chuckled lightly as he shook his head. Awhile back, Wedge and Luke showed me those Tauntauns and let's say after one ride and I almost fell and broke my wrist, I refused to ride those again.

"It's not trust me," he said. "And besides, I didn't let you break a bone did I?"

"No," I mumbled.

"You'll like it," Luke said.

I guess I can take his word for it.

-LINE BREAK-

"How can it be this freezing?" I asked Luke.

"Don't worry we won't be out here too long," he said, leading me towards the exit of the hangar.

I didn't know why we were heading out. It was close to getting dark and the way I was bundled, wasn't exactly extremely cold weather protection.

"Okay and here we are," he said.

"What are we..." I said, looking out ahead and gasped lightly.

The sun was starting to set and it showed the most beautiful skyline I've ever seen. It was pink, orange and yellow mixed in as the cold wind flew past us.

"Oh Luke just, whoa," I said in awe. "It's beautiful."

"I knew you like it. I just wish you could've seen what Tatooine's sunsets were like," he said.

"I bet it was way warmer than here."

"Yeah," he said with a smile.

"Do you ever think of going back there?" I asked.

"I swore I never would. I have nothing left there since my aunt and uncle died. I don't see the whole point of going back there," he replied.

"I see," I said, still staring at the skyline.

"Kelsey."

"Yeah?" I asked, looking up at him.

I saw something in his eyes as he took a step closer to me. I crossed my arms over my chest as I braced the cold wind. I pressed my lips together and I saw that he continued to look at me.

"Do I have something on me?" I asked.

"No, you're perfect," he replied.

"I would hardly think that," I said, looking away.

I felt his finger underneath my chin as I looked up at him getting lost more into his eyes.

"Kelsey you are perfect don't think that you aren't," Luke said.

We were mere inches from one another. I stared at his lips making myself wonder what it would be like to kiss him. As our faces slowly start to meet, I was thinking is this happening right now.

"Commander Skywalker, Miss Solo."

A male's voice said as we jumped away in shock facing him.

"I'm sorry but the doors are going to be closing now," he said.

"Quite alright," Luke said as he led me inside.

Luke looked at me feeling bad about what happened. I surprised him and myself by kissing him lightly on the cheek.

"Thank you for that tonight," I said.

"Anytime," he said sincerely.

As the doors were closed for the night, Luke and I decided to head to one of the training rooms so I can see him work on his Jedi training. This whole experience so far has been hectic to say to least. But I'm glad that I found my brother and Chewie along with a few friends who've had my back since day one of being here.

I mean who knows what other adventures will come our way but I know we're going to face them together and not back down without a fight.

The End...For now.

Welp. Here we are. To say that it's ending, it's sad. But I got new stories coming up and hoping to finish some old ones from other fandoms, I can't wait.

Full reaction to everything that's been happeing at Star Wars celebration will appear in Past for Revenge.

Also...

May 13th.

What's May 13th you may ask? Besides being Saturday of course and the weekend before the last week of school.

May 13th is when I debut my TFA story! I know I barely wrote the first full chapter but I did get a head start so it's something. The title is called.

The Story of the Jedi Master and Pilot Mechanic's daughter.

Note it's an Poe/OC pairing with our heroes returning as well. Full synopsis and all that jazz will be revealed when that day comes and I may or may not (you never know ;-) ) reveal a teaser in the meantime.

Don't forget to keep me on your alerts when that day comes. I can't thank you all for your support and patience I have on this journey. I can't wait to share what's next.

Keep an eye out for an update on my other story. I should have it posted tomorrow if not Sunday, this week has been a bit chaotic to say to least on my part.

Until next time,
Spike
