Hey everyone how's it going. Here is Chapter 8 of Brothers In Arms. On the last chapter Mina Bonteri saved both Adam and Anthony from being shot by some droids and has invited them to have dinner at her home. Let's see how this turns out. Star Wars belongs to Disney, however I own my OCs.

Chapter 8: Taken In

The Bonteri's Home (Adam POV)

After the med droids were finished fixing the gash on the left side of my head, I was able to leave the medical room to meet up with Anthony and Senator Bonteri. Once I left the medical room Anthony saw the scar I had from the gash I took that was about 4-inches long. "Wow they did a good job on you Adam." Anthony complemented.

"Yeah I guess they did do a good job." I said to him while I rubbed my fingers against the scar.

"Come on let's go. Senator Bonteri is waiting for us outside." He said as we left the building to meet up with Senator Bonteri, who was kindly enough to give us a ride to her place. After we met up with her, she gave us a ride in some sort of flying car they call a "speeder". And for once it was nice fly around without crashing.

Once we got to her house she said to us, "Welcome to our home." As we looked at her house it was once of the nicest house we've seen in a long time. After we walked through the front door, she said to us, "Excuse me while I tell my son we have guests."

"You have a son?" I asked.

"Yes...his name is Lux, he's probably about a year younger then the both of you. Please fill free to explore the house while I go get him." She offered while she went to get her son.

"Thank you very much." I said. After she left to get her son Anthony and I started talking. "Wow this is a very nice place."

"Yeah it is. Much nicer then our house." He said to me and then added, "I miss our house."

I looked at Anthony and said, "Yeah well one day we're gonna see our family again."

After I finished that sentence the senator had returned with her son standing next to her. He had the same characteristics as the senator. He was white, had brown hair and he looked like he was 16. When she returned she said to us, "Adam, Anthony, I want you to meet my son. Lux."

"Pleasure to meet you both." He said to us.

"The pleasure is ours." I said to him as we shook hands with Lux.

"If you'll excuse me I must tell the chef what to make for dinner." The senator said as she left the room and asked, "What do you guys prefer?"

Anthony and I had no idea what kind of food they serve in this world so kindly I said to her, "We're happy with whatever you choose."

"Very well then." She said to us and added, "I will speak to the chef right now."

After she left us with her son asked the both of us, "So how do you guys know my mother?"

Anthony and I both looked at each other and looked back at Lux where I said, "You're mother saved us from being executed by some of the droids."

"Really? What did you guys do?" He asked.

Anthony then spoke, "We may have crashed a ship into a building, after my brother accidentally shot our ship down."

He looked at us with a confused look and that is when I stepped in and said, "Look this will all make sense when we tell you the rest of the story at dinner." After talking to each other for thirty minutes, the senator had called us to let us know that dinner was ready.

(Anthony's POV)

When the three of us heard that dinner was now ready, Lux kindly escorted us to the dinning room. While we walked to the dining room, I kept wondering on what the chef had prepared for us. After we took our seats at the dinner table, a small 4-foot droid served us our meals and drinks. After we all had our meals my brother and I said, "Thank you very much Senator. This all looks very good."

"You're very welcome, I hope you enjoy the meal." She said.

As my brother and I looked at the meal, we noticed that the meat seemed a bit purplish and that the sides almost resembled to potatoes. Adam then says, "Yes...let's enjoy this meal." As he starts to eat his meal. As he took his first bite he couldn't stop having more while he drank his water. Me on the other hand, I'm usually a picky eater but since I haven't eaten in 2 days, and don't want to be considered rude in front of our hosts, it was time to try something new. After I had my first bite, I soon started to have more.

During dinner the senator asked us, "So how did you two boys end up on Onderon?" My brother and I looked at each other and knew it was time to them our story. Adam told the Bonteris about how he lost Bri in a car accident and how he showed the picture of Bri and the letter he wrote about her. I then mentioned about our trip to Alaska and told them story about Adam being attacked by a mother eagle. Adam then showed them the video of me being attacked by a squirrel. He then told them about the plane crashing and Taylor's death and how he took charge to making sure that everyone survived the first night. I then told them about me and my brother's plan of searching for rescue. However they asked us about what happened to the group. We told them that we did not know what happened to them.

And we did tell them how we were chased by a pack of wolves and how we discovered the cave where we discovered the cube that brought us to Onderon. After we told them that Adam mentioned how we got involved in the middle of a battle, and finished the story of how we met the Senator. Once our story was done, the senator and her son had faces of shocked and confused. She then looks at us and says, "I cannot believe that the two of you went through all that."

I then grabbed my bag, pulled out the cube and said, "On our planet, we have a saying, 'Curiosity killed the cat.' Well I guess curiosity almost killed us."

After that she said, "Well I think that you two went through quiet enough." She then said, "How would you like it if you stayed here until you find away to get home?" My brother and I could not believe our ears, this was one offer we could not refuse.

My brother and I looked at each other and then looked at Senator Bonteri and her son and said, "Thank you Senator Bonteri, we will be happy to take that offer."

"You two don't have to call me that, only people who work for me call me that." She said to us.

"Well what do we call you?" Adam asked.

"You may call me Mina." She pointed out.

I then thanked her and said, "Thank you very much Mina."

"You don't have to two don't have to thank me. You're part of this family now." She said to us. After being separated from our family, it felt nice to be part of a family. And with that our conversation had ended and it was time to call it a day, and get ready for a new day in this new world my brother and I had just entered.

Well it looks like the Amor brothers finally have a place to stay and people to call them family. It looks like their luck is changing. Like this story? Then leave a review and tell us what you think about it. See you guys on chapter 9.
