Nicky

Chewie moaned out a question as Luke pressed the button for the door to close.

"You said it, Chewie. Where'd you dig up that old fossil and the little minion?" Han asked.

"Ben is a great man." Luke stated as he came back away from the door.

"Yeah, great at getting us in trouble."

"I didn't hear you give any ideas." He shot back.

"Well anything's better than just hangin' around waiting for them to pick us up." Han said as the argument heated up.

"Who do you think-" Luke's tone was full of anger when R2 cut him off with annoying bleeps. "What is it?"

"I'm afraid I'm not quite sure, sir. He says 'I found them' and keeps repeating 'She's they're here.'"

"Well, who? Who has he found?" Threepio took a quick look down at R2 before answering Luke.

"Princesses Leia and Olivia."

"The princesses? They're here?"

"Princesses?" Han asked, trying to edge into the conversation.

"Where? Where is she?" Luke demanded, ignoring Han completely.

"Princesses? What's going on here?" Han tried again, with no effect.

"Level 5, Detention Block AA-23. I'm afraid they're scheduled to be terminated."

"Oh, no. We've got to do something!"

"HEY!" Luke finally shut up and looked in my direction. "You wanna explain what's going on?" Not for my sake, but for the sake of my painfully slow brother, I added mentally.

"The droids belong to them!" Well, gee that explains everything! "They're the ones in the message! We gotta help her!"

"Now look, don't get any funny ideas. The old man wants us to wait right here."

"But he didn't know they were here. Just find a way into that detention block." Luke was talking to the droids now.

"I don't know about you, but I'm not going anywhere!" Han announced as he lazily laid back in the chair.

"But they're gonna execute them. Look just a few minutes ago you said you didn't want to just wait here to be captured. Now all you want to do is stay?"

"Marching into the detention area isn't what I had in mind!"

"But they're gonna kill them!"

"Better them than me!" Han said as he turned away, officially ending the conversation. Luke sighed and looked around the room, as if it would somehow tell him something that would convince Han. Haven whispered something in his ear and his eyes lit up as he turned back to Han.

"They're rich." Was all he said, which instantly cause Han to look interested.

"Rich?" Han echoed as Chewie mumbled something.

"Mm-hmm. Rich, powerful. Listen if you rescue them the reward would be-" He stopped short trying to think of something.

"What?"

"Well, more well than you can imagine."

"I don't know, I can imagine quite a lot."

"You'll get it." Luke promised.

"I'd better."

"You will."

"Alright, kid. But you better be right about this." Han threatened. "What's your plan?"

"All right. Umm..." Luke glanced around the room as he searched his mind for a plan. "Threepio, hand me those binders." Threepio did as he was told and Luke stepped forward to try to put the binders on Chewie. Notice I did say try. "Okay, now I'm gonna put these on you." He tried putting them on, but the Wookiee burst out growling and barking (like a Wookiee, not a dog).

Luke immediately stumbled back and shoved the binders at me. "Okay, Nicky you put these on."

I stepped forward and to my relief he did argue when I tried to put them on. "Go along with it." I said as I felt him tense when the first binder shut. The second one went almost all the way around but I didn't lock them so he could escape easily.

"Okay, Han and I will lead Chewie down there and Haven, you and Nicky follow a bit after us to avoid detection. Okay?" Haven put the way-too-big helmet over her head and gave a thumbs-up as a response.

"Um, Master Luke. What should R2 and I do if we're discovered?" Threepio asked.

"Lock the door." Was all Luke gave as I pulled the helmet over my head. How did they see in these things?

"And hope they don't have blasters."

"That isn't very reassuring." Threepio said as we followed Luke and Han out of the room. Haven and I stopped and waited until they were at the end of the hall to continue.

We followed from a safe distance and avoided looking at the people we passed. We stopped abruptly when we heard Chewie growl, but continued after seeing he'd growled at a mouse droid.

When we came to the elevator scene we waited until Luke and Han were safely up there before entering the elevator ourselves, like we had been told. We stepped in and my jaw dropped when I saw the buttons. There were 6 different sets of buttons. 6 different sets.

"Is this one of those elevators like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? One that goes up, down, sideways and everywhere else?" I asked after we finished our dumbstruck silence. It was the only guess that mildly made sense even though the very idea was quite impossible. In our world anyway.

"I think so." Haven answered.

"Excuse me." An officer said as he pushed past us into the elevator and pressed the button for floor 4 on the 2nd panel. I went ahead and pressed the 5 button and the doors closed. So we were trapped in an elevator with an actual Imperial soldier. And I could have swore I felt it lurch sideways.

"You two are a bit short for storm-troopers, was there a problem with your batch?" He asked. I nodded once, trying to wave off any other conversation.

The elevator came to a stop and the officer got out. The doors shut, we went up another floor and got out ourselves as another pair of storm-troopers entered.

"That was the wrong elevator, wasn't it?" I said as I looked at our surroundings. We were not in the detention block, we were in the infirmary. "Do not look at anybody, let's just wait for the elevator comes back." Haven nodded and I could tell she was freaking out inside. I knew because I was too.

I pressed the button and we did our very best to look preoccupied. After a while my nerves calmed and I thought about the other buttons labeled '5'. One of them went to the detention block.

"You two! Are you busy? I need some help." A man in a medical uniform asked us.

"Well actually-" I started, trying to make my voice sound gruff.

"Sure we can help." Haven said in her normal voice. Luckly it was muffled and hardened in the helmet. She was also lucky looks couldn't kill.

"Okay, come this way please." He turned and we followed close behind him.

"What was that for?" I demanded in a low voice.

"Sorry, it was instinct. My mother raised me to always say yes when someone asked for help and so that's what I acted on. My reflexes didn't change much in the transfer."

"Ugh, you and your manners."

"It's called Southern hospitality, Nicky. True grits like myself use it religiously." Oh Haven…

"Okay men," I shuddered at the thought of being called a man. "I need you to carry these to the emergency area." He pointed in the direction and about 50 yards away I could see the red plus sign on the wall. "I have to get back to my patients, thank you for your help." He hurried off and left us with 5 heavy looking boxes.

"Well." I managed to get out. "I wonder how Han and Luke are doing."

"Probably fine." Haven leaned over and tried picking up a box before setting it back down again. "I'm gonna need your help with this."

I sighed and picked up one end as she picked up the other. We carried it like that to the emergency area (bumping into 4 people along the way) and when we put it down my fingers hurt.

We carried the rest of them over (wasting 25 minutes in the process) and finally got back in our elevator.

Wow you guys. 1 update + 10 reviews = 1 friggin' happy Clover! Seriously, I am overjoyed right now! You people are amazing! You make me feel like I can do anything, I love you guys! I've had my doubts about this story, but thanks to your reviews I now have full confidence in it! Risking taking out my phone and reading the reviews during math class was totally and completely worth it!

Who actually knows what a grit is (no I'm not talking about the food)? Extra points if you yourself are one, like me. (I'm also the granddaughter of a third generation gunsmith, how's that for southern?)

I really should be writing for After Order 66 right now, since I'm supposed to be updating that today, (actually I'm supposed to be work, but that's boring) but I just really felt like finishing up this chapter. I hoped you liked it and review please! Review Response time!

PSDW: I checked out Across the Waves, the first chapter is great, I can't wait for the next!

EmeraldEyedJedi: A hermit owl! Now that would look funny!

Ayy Kaim: That's understandable. I'm guessing you didn't read chapter 19; where it explains (in very few words) that Ben/Obi-Wan knew all along. Those who have mastered the force were the only ones not affected by the girls' sudden appearance in the world. If you didn't have Jedi abilities or hadn't mastered the force (like Luke) then you were tricked by it (like the mist in PJO, if you've read those). The girls have no clue what's going on or how they got there, but they know that they're in Star Wars and they know what happens in it so they just go along with it. Hope this helped (I'm kinda rushed at the moment so this might not be very clear)!

Cobalt Diamond: There's no need to ever be nervous for reviewing with me. I love and read every single review (except for a few nasty ones…) left for my stories. Everyone makes my day so much better! Thank you and I'm glad you like the story! Love your name, by the way.

AaylaKit: Thank you, you seriously boosted my confidence! Also, I'm still learning to take criticism because in the past the only critic I had was my brother and he never really offered anything (he's only 10). But, I am learning to take it like a girl.

Pergjithshme: I'll see if I can pull some strings… :)

MysticRyter: Yay! I can't wait 'til you start uploading your stories (not trying to rush you or anything)!

Anisoka99: I'm more or less following the story line.

Rosesforever294: Oh, well thank you. It really made you happy? Well good, happy people are fun people (I am seriously random sometimes, just in case you can't tell)

Y'all know what this world needs? Sarcasm text. We are in dire need of sarcasm text. Hahaha, I amuse myself.

P.S. Did anyone else totally love the chapter name or is it just me?

P.S.S. Trying to decide if Obi-Wan will die or not. I've started a poll on my page so go vote to help my choice (I sound like an ad).
