Chapter 3. Boba is still 6. This happens right after they come back from the second hunt they met the girl mandalor. time frames are given in the story enjoy!
P.s.: I do not own any of the characters except the girl mandalor.
Once Jango had landed the Slave I they carried the girl back to where Jango now lived.
Apon entering Boba rushed up but stopped and looked questionably at Zam. Then back at his dad carrying the girl.
"We found her and saved her,ok." Jango said.
"Oh. Is she going to stay?" Boba asked quietly.
"That depends on how she acts when she wakes up." Jango replied when he put the girl down on his bed. "I don't want you to come in here, Boba. I don't know how she will act when she wakes up."
Boba nodded seriously then walked back to the table where was drawing something. "So what are you going to do about her weapons?" Zam asked pointing the the girls guns and dagger.
"I keeping the ammo and detonators on the Slave I, I am locking the her guns in one of drawers in my room, with a password only I will know." Jango put the guns in the drawer and it closed and locked, beeping once.
"I'll get her in some fresh clothes." Zam said then she stopped and turned around. "Don't come in untill I say so, Jango."
Jango just nodded and walked over to Boba and sat down next to him. "Boba, what are you drawing?"
"Just the Slave I on the landing platform." Boba held up the drawing. a dark colored Slave I sitting on the platform with blue rain pelting down around it. "I am just about done."
After that day the girl stayed asleep. 8 days passed before finally on the night of the 8th day...
"Watch out!" I heard a cry from behind me. I turn around a second too late and get shot, the the senator shoots me in the back. I crumble to the ground. I don't remember much but soon I think I am lieing in the Rosethorn I. Now I feel allot better bed under me and some other faint voices... Wait? Other voices? I don't live with any one else.
Caitlyn eyes open and quickly ajust to the dark room. A faint glow comes from a small light in the corner to highlight the room. White walls. Where the hell am I? Caitlyn thought as she crawled quietly out of the bed. She looks down and see dark colored cloth surrounding her body. Not her armor. Where is my armor? She quickly spots the armor and walks over to it. She studies it, her weapons were missing including her dagger she made herself. Not surprising. She looks around and senses her guns in a locked drawer. Before going over to the drawer she gos to the door and listens very closely. She hears only faint snoring, must be sleeping. Then she walks over to the drawer. typing in a code it denies her. Caitlyn snorted, then typed in the universal code. the small light turns greens and it opens. There they were. She takes them out and studies them, not ammo was in them, smart. She quietly starts taking the two guns apart.
Jango was sleeping in the main living area. He couldn't sleep with Zam, who slept on the floor in Bobas room. When he heard a faint shuffle in his room his eyes opened. Dimming the lights to black he opened the door to his room abit.. and there she was sitting on the floor disassembling her guns. Damn she must of gotten the drawer open. He thought quietly.
Caitlyn didn't note Jango watching her. She just studied the pieces and starting putting them together in a different order. She built them out on different stuff so they could easy be taken apart and put back together. As she put them together instead of making to blasters...
She was making a rifle. Amazing. He had never saw anything like. Sure he had taken his blasters apart a couple times but never he seen any thing like this. He opened to door all the way and stood there.
Caitlyn was just about done. She took a piece of her armor and snapped a piece off. It was suppose to do that. She fitted it in place and stood up. Long range rifle. Capable of picking a fly of a stick 1,000 feet away. Caitlyn had trained her self with this to the point were she could nail the fly with out the scope. She stood up and studied the rifle proudly. It was almost as tall as her.
"Nice job." Caitlyn heard the voice from the door. By instinct she swung the rifle to her shoulder and pointed it at the guy in the door way. "You still don't have any ammo for it though." Caitlyn put the rifle down and stared wearily at Jango.
"Who are you?" Caitlyn asked.
Jango pushed a button on the wall and the room lit up. "I am Jango Fett."
Caitlyn eyes closed at the bright light and the white walls made it worse. Her eyes blinked then her pupils narrowed to the point of were she could see. "Nice to meet you. Why did you save me?"
"I didn't Zam made me." Jango said stepping in to his room and closing the door.
"Thanks." she said. Caitlyn put the rifle down. "How long have I been here?"
"About 9 days right now." Jango paused when he saw the time. "It almost time for breakfast. People will be waking soon, do you want something to eat?"
Caitlyn lips curved in a faint smile. "Thank you."
Jango face remained nutral. "Come." He walked out with Caitlyn following. He turned on the rest of the lights and started to dig though the aviable food. Soon he found some food and started to cook it.
Caitlyn sat quietly at the table studying Jango intently. He had a belt on and she saw a a case tucked in to it. She stared at it for a bit the realized it was her dagger. Caitlyn snorted softly. She heard shuffling coming from one of the other rooms. Smiling she slipped around and quietly creaped up behind Jango while his back was turned. Never turn your back on the enemy. In this case Caitlyn wasn't an enemy but she treasured that dagger and she wasn't going to ask for it because she knew she wasn't going to get it back.
Then she quick grabbed the case and gave it a swift tug. the straps holding to the belt broke and Caitlyn ran back to her side of table taking her dagger out and gave it a quick look over to make sure it wasn't ruined.
So Jango did stupid things and turning his back to Caitlyn was one of them. He thought her saw Caitlyn creep around the table, but what surprised him was the jerk he felt. Caitlyn sent him to the floor and had her dagger back. Never turn your back on an enemy. Go he forgot one of his most important rules. He mentally slapped himself for not being as careful. He quickly jumped up and faced the girl. She didn't look like she was going to attack she just looked worried about the dagger as she carefuly turned it back and forth the blade glistening in the white light.
Citlyn placed the dagger back in the pouch and sat back down her face bright. She gave a a smile to Jango.
Jango relaxed a bit. "I won't even ask why." He paused and turned back to the cooking food, almost done. The aroma of the food filled the air. "Whats your name?"
"Gemidi or Caitlyn. I'd prefer if you called my Caitlyn." Caitlyn said turning towards the door.
"Hey Zam! Come look! The girl is awake!"
Boba rushed up to Caitlyn. "Hello my name is Boba what yours?"
"Mine? I don't know if I can tell you that." Caitlyn paused and glanced at Jango. "I think your dad would get mad at me."
Boba laughed as he sat down next to Caitlyn. "Come on, Please!"Boba stressed leaned forward eagerly.
"Okay I give. Its Caitlyn." Caitlyn held her hands up in a mock surrender.
"Oh so she finally decided to wake up." Zam yawned and sat down next to Boba.
Jango turned around and served the food. everyone ate quietly, even Caitlyn ate quietly. When Caitlyn was done she got up and put the dish in the sink. Then she sat back down staring at her dagger. Jango didn't get why Caitlyn was acting like she knew her way around. But he got up and turned away..
Then BAM! A shot sounded and a thud. Jango whipped around and saw Boba holding a toy blaster, with real sound effects. Zam was laughing quietly and Boba was smiling. Jango walked around the table his face serious. Caitlyn had fallen out of her chair and she was acting dead. Very convincing act. He knelt down and checked her pulse because Caitlyn didn't look like she was breathing. Went he felt her neck, he didn't feel any pulse.
All of sudden, in a flash Caitlyn had sprung up and pounced at Boba. She grabbed him and tucked in to a ball as they rolled out of kichten. When Jango followed with Zam right behind him he saw Caitlyn had pinned Boba down. "I guess you can't trust anyone can you." Caitlyn said.
Jango was just about to pull Caitlyn off of Boba when Boba pushed both of his feet in to her stomach. Caitlyn stumbled back and fell back down acting dead again.
"I like her. Can we keep her Dad?" Boba asked pointing to Caitlyn lieing on the floor.
"We can't keep her if she dead," Jango pointed out "or if she acts that way all the time."
Caitlyn sprung up brushing some dust off her shirt. "He started it!"
Caitlyn opened the door to Jangos room and actually slammed it. Something very hard to do when the door only opens at the push of a button.
"She is only 13 after all." Zam said rubbing her head.
"I don't get why you made me bring her here." Jango growled. then he went back in to kichten and sat at table resting his face in his hands.
Zam glanced at Boba, he smiled at Zam she smiled back. Maybe they could get use to having Caitlyn around. Then Caitlyn walked out in full armor, minus the mask and looked in to the kichten. When she saw Jango sitting there with his face buried in his hands, she raised an eyebrow and sighed.
"I am going to go have a walk around." Caitlyn put her rifle in a pouch and slung it around her back. "I guess I'll come back." She smiled and walked out of Jango's house.
Jango looked up and said. "She like another Zam, I don't know if I can handle that."
"Oh I think you like her." Zam teased playfully gabbing Jango in his ribs.
Jango flinched a bit but smiled.
So Kamino wasn't that bad. Although the white walls were getting boring. Caitlyn stopped over a training area for the,what looked like clones, of Jango.
She watched intently as they stood in neat lines and listened to every thing thier instructor said. Must be modified, because Jango would never be like that, ever. Caitlyn turned away and went to an open landing platform. She stood in the ever lasting rain. She watched as lightning stabbed though the sky and thunder answered it. She saw her comm was finally working. Caitlyn turned it on and said. "Rosethorn I Please relay the my coordinates and come to me." Their was and answering static then silence. Caitlyn walked back in side and took off her helmet. About 10 minutes later a ship landed on the platform. Caitlyn sighed and walked out to the ship, as she entered the ship named the Rosethorn I, she didn't know she was being watched.
Zam was amazed. She could of stared at that ship for hours. It was a Firespray-class ship. She saw didn't even know where this ship came from. It was exactly like Jango's. The coloring was a bit different, but the colors were cammo, perfect for hiding in the middle of a swamp or forest. Zam looked the ship over from the safety of inside. Finally her curiousdy got the best of her. She walked out in to the rain. As she drew closer she saw in pale pink symbols. She didn't know how to read these symbols. She traced a smaller one, curious about it.
"That's an e." Zam whipped around and saw Caitlyn standing there, staring at her with that T shaped visor. "Came on, follow me." Caitlyn motioned her to come inside the firespray. Zan followed slowly. When she got inside the difference between anything was 0.00. She looked around and saw something odd lieing on the floor. She picked it up and saw the outside was made of tough flimsi, but the inside was fully flimsi, with more of those weird symbols.
"That is called a book." Caitlyn said.
"It dosn't look like any book I've seen." Zam questioned. "Is this some type of secert code?"
"No, it just a different set of letters than what you use." Caitlyn snatched the book from Zam and placed in somewhere else.
"What do the letters on the outside say?" Zam asked, looked around even more intently.
"It says Rosethorn I." Caitlyn watch Zam walk over to the control board and and she started touching it.
"You know, even I wasn't that curious about this ship when I first got it! Any ways Jango got one and you been in it a million times! Whats the big deal?!" Caitlyn snarled. Zam was seriously starting to think that Jango might have a lost relative or something.
"Sorry. How did a young kid like you come across a ship like this?" Zam asked seriously. Not every 13 year old had a Firespray ship at their hands.
Caitlyn looked annoyed. "Stop asking so many questions. Just go." Caitlyn pushed Zam towards the door. Zam glared at Caitlyn then left.
"Finally alone!" Caitlyn feel back in to her chair, running a hand though her long brown hair. "Now lets see what I can give Boba." Cailtyn dug around until she pulled out a holoboard. (A skateboard the floats in other words, more dangerous that a regular skateboard.) It was blank compared to the next one she pulled out. Hers had late Boba Fett on it, in his green and red armor shooting a beast on the other side of the board. If Boba asked she would make something up. The blank one was just white. If Boba wanted something painted on it she would do it, but first Jango had to leave.
Caitlyn pulled up recently posted bounties and found on assigned to Jango Fett. Caitlyn smiled, perfect timing on her behalf. Just gotta wait.
After a 4 day time span Jango had put up with Caitlyn so far. She might be annoying, but she often rough housed with Boba something he could do but didn't have the time. Now he got a break from it all. A bounty with his name on it, it said it Jango could only subcontract one partner. He choose Zam.
Jango armored up and looked at the clock, 6:00? Boba will still be asleep.He quietly opened the door to Bobas room and saw Boba sleeping with his beloved animal toy and Caitlyn sleeping on the floor next to his bed. Jango walked over and saw two eyes staring at him. "You are awake?" Jango asked softly.
Boba nodded. "I heard you were going to leave this morning."
"From who?" Jango said sitting at the foot of Boba's bed.
"Who do you think, Dad?" Boba said trying to keep a sraight face.
"Caitlyn?" He rasied and eybrow as he looked at the sleeping form on the floor.
"Yep." Boba smile was growing wider. "See ya Dad."
With that Jango got up and left Bobas room closing the door behind him. The second the door was close Caitlyns eyes flew open and she crawled up on to the bed and sat next to Boba. "Good Job. I think you could of done better with the last part though." Caitlyn whispered to boba.
"Did you get it?" Boba asked quietly, eagerly.
"Yep." Caitlyn mocked when her reached down one pulled one of Jangos blaster from under the covers on the floor.
Boba was starting to snicker. "I am so glad Dad brought you back!" He covered his mouth to try and stop from laughing to much.
"And wait." Caitlyn paused. "5..4..3..2..1." She pointed towards the door.
"God damn, my blaster is missing!" Jango yelled frustrated. He swore it was in is holder when he got armored up. He not a clue where it went until loud uncontrolled laughing sounded from Boba's room. When he turned on the lights a fort had been made out of sheets and pillows. He heard, now more controled laughing from inside. Jango furiously stared at the fort. As if by his command the sheets in front fell revealing Caitlyn and Boba sitting there playing a game of which he did not know. "Hi dad." Boba said briefly glancing up from his cards. Caitlyn was staring intently at the cards she had in her hand.
"Have you two seen my blaster?" Jango asked.
"No" Both replied in unison. Caitlyn layed a three down and then Boba layed a five and a two down. "Darn you!" Caitlyn growled softly as she pulled another ca from the deck.
"Are you two sure?" Jango questioned, wondering who was going to crack first.
"One minute its there the next second its POOF! gone." Caitlyn threw her cards up and they fluttered down all over the place.
Boba gave a very quick glance down. He started to snicker. Jango pulled away the sheet on the floor and saw his blaster lieing there. He picked it up and put it back in his belt. "Caitlyn take good care of Boba. If I come back and he is hurt, you will die."
"Realy? I never would of guessed!" Caitlyn gasped in fake shock. "Just go, I'll be careful. I have a lot of child exspirence anyways."
Jango nodded and left.
After finishing the card game they were playing, in which Caitlyn lost, she gave Boba 20 cash. "I can't belive I lost at a game I created." Caitlyn paused as she looked at the time. "Ok he got to be gone by now. Here take this." She threw Boba the white Holoboard. "A present. Holoboard, I can paint something on it if you want."
Bobas eyes were sparkling. He had reseached it up once before Caitlyn came. When he asked Jango for one, he said they were too dangerous. "My dad is going to kill you when he comes back!"
"So? You want me top take the holo board back?" Caitlyn started to reach for Boba board.
"No way!" Boba ran out in to the hall and stepped on to it. The board lifted off the ground. "This is so cool."
"The one you have can go the same speed as mine." Caitlyn said leaning in the door way.
"How fast is that?" Boba asked as he leaning forward, making it go forward a little bit.
"100 mph." Caitlyn said simply as Boba pressed it a bit more forward. It went faster. "I'll teach you everything about it, even how to go full speed around turns."
"My dad is still going to kill you." Boba pointed out. Caitlyn shrugged and hopped on to her holoboard.
"If he can catch me!" She said and went full speed forward, Boba lost her from sight, but followed going as fast as he could with out hurting himself, which was about 80 mph.
Holoboards are awesome. The next chapter will skip to when Jango comes back from the hunt. He will be in for a big surprise.
