Yeah I'm here and alive. I'm sorry I haven't updated (It's only been like 13 days, so about two weeks. It's a while, but still faster than some other up dates). I was busy than I lost my muse. Like I know where I want to go with my story (like I have written on a pad events that I want to happen and have even planed entire scenes)….problem is thinking up full chapters to get there. But I'm back now for Chapter 5.

Chapter 5: Date Problems

"Alright it is seven, we are officially off." Hera said.

"Okay," Kanan said, "I brought a change of clothes."

"So did I," Hera smiled, we can change in the restrooms in the back.

The two of them went into their respected bathrooms and quickly changed. Kanan wondered while he changed if he was dressed formal enough, or to formal, because he had no idea what Hera was wearing. He was currently wearing a pair of his nicer jeans and a green button up collared shirt. But stepping out of the bathroom he saw the Hera was also wearing a pair a dark jeans and a dress shirt.

"You look nice." Kanan said.

"Thanks, you do to." Hera said. "Shall we go?"

"You best lead the way." Kanan said. "I'm not sure where this diner is."

"Just a few blocks down, it's called The Asteroid Belt." Hera said, taking the slight lead, leading Kanan the opposite direction from his apartment.

"Where do you live Hera?" Kanan asked, wondering if she would walk home alone, not wanting anything to happen to her, even though Kanan was sure she was fully capable to fight off any potential attackers.

"A few miles away, I drive my car to work, we'll just stop by the station to grab it after we're done." Hera explained.

"Okay." Kanan said with a smile, glad that she would be safe.

The young new couple walked into the diner.

"Hello, table for two?" the waiter asked.

"Yes." Kanan said.

"Follow me," the waiter instructed. He led Kanan and Hera to a small booth in the corner. They took a seat and he gave them their menus. "What can I get you to drink?"

"I'll have a strawberry ice tea." Hera said.

"I'll have a lemon water." Kanan said.

"I'll be right back with your drinks." the waiter said and left the table.

"So, what is good here?" Kanan asked, looking at the menu.

"The burgers are good, but the fries are the best." Hera replied.

"Okay." Kanan said, looking at the burger section.

The waiter came back with their drinks. "Do you know what you would like to eat?"

"I'm ready," Kanan told Hera.

"I'll have the Philly Cheese Steak. Extra seasoning on the fries." Hera requested.

"I'll have the Bacon Cheeseburger." Kanan said.

"I'll get those going for you." the waiter said and left.

"So where did you live before you were dispatched here?" Hera asked.

"Oh, I lived over in Coruscant," Kanan said.

"What made you transfer?" Hera asked.

Kanan bit his lip, Hera had accidently brought up a touchy subject. "The new chief thought I was unstable from an event that happened a few months back, so when he came into power he transferred me over, thinking getting me out of the city would help."

"Oh, what happened?" Hera asked.

"On a drug bust, my partner, Depa Billaba, was KIA."(killed in action if you didn't know) Kanan said.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." Hera apologized.

"It's fine." Kanan said with a small smile. "You guys would have found out eventually."

There was a small awkward moment silence, Hera was silent not knowing what to say after that, and Kanan was too nervous to try to start a different subject.

Kana took a drink of his water, cheeks slightly puckering at the sourness of the lemon.

"Did they put like half a lemon in that water?" Kanan joked, trying to kill the silence.

Hera responded with a small laugh, 'Man,' Kanan thought, 'she has a beautiful laugh.'

"So, are you enjoying Lothal so far?" Hera asked.

"I guess, it is a lot smaller than Coruscant." Kanan said. "I really wonder about Phantom sometimes though."

"I know what you mean." Hera said. "I wasn't on the force when he randomly showed up but I have been trying to deal with him for the past four years or so."

"I mean, he's been doing this for what I have heard, nearly eight years. He's about fourteen or fifteen, that means he's been doing this since he was about seven." Kanan said. "Why would a seven year old pickpocket?"

"We may never know. We may never know who he is." Hera said.

The waiter came back with their food, "Enjoy your meal."

"Thanks." Kanan and Hera responded in sync.

The two ate with some small talk. When the waiter came back with the bill, Kanan grabbed it before Hera could, not letting her see it, "I got this." Putting the money in the sleeve and the waiter walked by and grabbed it.

"Shall we head out?" Hera asked. "Maybe get some ice cream on the way?"

"Sure." Kanan said, putting five dollar bill on the table for a tip.

Ezra was walking down the side walk, trying to find someone to pick-pocket. Finding a couple in their thirties, he saw how the woman had her purse place, it was in the perfect position to grab the wallet in it.

Making his move quickly he grabbed the wallet and looked inside. There was about $25 in it, so Ezra grabbed the ten dollar bill. But placing the wallet back inside the purse led to trouble. The man turned around and saw him.

"You!" the man said, Ezra quickly realized that this was the same officer who has been bugging him all week.

"You!" Ezra returned, before turning and running, he heard footsteps behind him and knew the officer, and possibly his girlfriend were chasing him.

Ezra ran and ran, trying to lose them, before he arrived back at the park. No need to let them know where he was currently living.

"Stop!" the officer demanded.

"Um, no." Ezra called back.

Ezra ran before he made the mistake of looking back to see how close his chaser was, before he ran straight into a bench, causing him to face plant to the ground.

The officer grabbed Ezra's wrists and held them behind his back and placed a knee on the small of his back.

"Fine take the money back." Ezra relented.

"I will, but you will be coming with me as well." the officer said.

"Where?" Ezra asked.

"The police department." the officer said, forcing him to his feet.

"While that sounds like fun, I have plans." Ezra said, he twisted himself out of the officer's grasp and ran the officer must have been in shock because he didn't follow him. Ezra didn't stop until he reached the park.

"Well, I guess I won't be eating supper, again." Ezra said, he had lost the money when the officer had him pinned on the ground.

He climbed up to the tunnel slide and got in trying to get comfortable, despite the pain in his arms from being pulled back, wrists from being gripped, and back from being pressed on. "Did he have to be so rough?" Ezra asked himself, rubbing his wrists before hearing his stomach rumble from hunger. "I know," Ezra told it, "But I don't have anything, like normal." Ezra took a while, but he eventually fell back asleep.

Hera was waiting for Kanan in front of the police station.

"I take it you didn't catch him?" Hera asked.

"Well I caught him, but he got away." Kanan said. "I got your money back though." Handing back the cash.

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Hera said. "I had a great time."

"Even though you got pick pocketed?" Kanan asked with a smirk.

"Well, that was a down side." Hera said. "Maybe we could do this again sometime, and hopefully not get pick pocketed again."

"I would really like that." Kanan said.

"Well, I better head home." Hera said.

"Me too." Kanan said. He watched to make sure Hera got in her car alright, before tuning and heading down the street to his apartment. Thinking about Phantom the entire time. He was so close to catching him. "I'll get him next time, I just know it." He watched TV for a bit upon entering his apartment but went to bed early, he was tired from his chase after all.

There you guys go, now I will update as often as I can. I try to make the chapters good so it is hard to whip out fast chapters that are also good. Remember what Sabine said, "you can have it good or you can have it fast." And I hope you all pick the good part. And Fact: telling me to update in your reviews with just the words, "UPDATE QUICK" in fact does not make me update quicker, if anything it makes me stressed and upset. If you tell me what you like so far then tell me to update I can live with that. Lots of love 3 :) (follow me on tumblr. ravenclaw-rebel3390
