A/N: Hey guys! Another story inspired by a mini comic of meldy-arts on Tumblr. I suggest you also read the other two drabbles made by aceofstars16 and what-a-strange-little-star which are also on Tumblr, they are amazing! Anyway, enjoy. Mira Bridger-Wren is a character created by meldy-arts. I don't own Star Wars Rebels or the song. All rights to Disney and P!nk.
Bridge of light
"Where am I?" A four year old Mira asked.
"Mommy!? Daddy!?" She yelled hoping her parents could hear her.
No answer.
Mira started running when she spotted a small light. "Kanan…" The voice of her father echoed through the dark cave. The little girl ran towards them with a smile on her face knowing she wasn't alone. But when she rounded the corner, her eyes widen in terror.
Facing each other was her father and her grandpa, both had their lightsabers ignited but something was wrong with her grandpa, he had scary green eyes and when he talked his voice was different. He attacked Ezra and the younger Jedi blocked each strike but he didn't want to fight with his adoptive father.
"Kanan, please...stop this." Ezra said begging.
"Yeah...I don't think so." The old Jedi said and charged at Ezra. Mira just stood there watching the fight between her father and her grandpa. She saw the strikes and blocks until Ezra got distracted and a possessed Kanan stabbed him on the chest. Mira saw horrified how the blue blade passed through her father's chest and he fell on the floor lifeless.
Ezra and Sabine got out from bed like a lightning and rushed to Mira's room as soon as they heard her screaming.
"Mira!?" Sabine said as she turned on the lights.
She saw her daughter sitting up in bed and crying. She sat on the edge of her bed and hugged her.
"Everything is okay, sweetie." The Mandalorian cooed softly.
"Mommy, where's daddy?" The little girl asked crying.
Ezra came closer to the bed and sat on the other side. "I'm here baby." He said.
Mira separated her face from her mother's chest and looked at her father and threw herself at him. "Daddy, you're okay." She said.
"Of course I'm okay, sweetheart." He said hugging his daughter. "What happened?"
"I had a nightmare." The little girl answered.
"Do you want to tell us?" Sabine asked.
Mira nodded and started telling her parents about her nightmare. "And then...grandpa...killed you...with his lightsaber." She said while small hiccups escaped her mouth.
Ezra and Sabine looked at each other and then looked down at their daughter. "Everything is okay, baby. I'm here and I'm not going to leave you." He said and rubbed her back.
"Can I sleep with you?" Mira asked after a few minutes.
"Of course, sweetheart." Sabine said and Ezra nodded in agreement. He lifted Mira in his arms and they walked to the main bedroom. Once they arrived, Ezra climbed on the bed and laid Mira down, he laid down next to his daughter and Sabine laid down on the other side.
"Mommy?" Mira asked.
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"Can you sing me a song?" The little girl asked with puppy eyes.
"Of course, honey." The Mandalorian said and started to sing.

Just when you think
Hope is lost,
And giving up
Is all you got,
And blue turns black,
Your confidence is cracked,
There seems no turning back from here
Sometimes there isn't an obvious explanation
Why the holiest hearts can feel the strongest palpitations
(Chorus)
That's when you can build a bridge of light,
That's what turns the wrong so right
That's when you can't give up the fight
That's when love turns night time into day,
That's when loneliness goes away,
That's why you gotta be strong tonight,
Only love can build us a bridge of light
(Ezra)
When your feet are made of stone
And you're convinced that you're all alone
Look at the stars instead of the dark
You'll find your heart shines like the sun
Let's not let our anger get us lost
And the need to be right comes with way too high a cost
Mira started to feel her eyes heavy and snuggled closer to her dad while her parents continued singing…
(Both, chorus)
That's when love can build a bridge of light
That's what turns the wrong so right
That's when you know it's worth the fight
That's when love turns night time into day
That's when loneliness goes away,
That's why you gotta be strong tonight
'Cause only love can build us a bridge of light
(Sabine)
Deep breath, take it on the chin
But don't forget to let the love back in
(Both)
That's when love can build a bridge of light
That's what turns the wrong so right
That's when you know it's worth the fight
That's when love turns night time into day
That's when loneliness goes away,
That's why you gotta be strong tonight
'Cause only love can build us a bridge of light
Only love can build us a bridge of light…
Of light…
Of light…
Once they finished singing, the looked down and smiled at their daughter sleeping peacefully between them. They kissed Mira's forehead and fell asleep.
