A/N: Star Wars, it's characters and locations are owned by Lucas and Disney. Amara, Serena, the kids (excluding the names Shara, Han, and Obi) Malik and Delena are names I came up with.
"Before we get to the cantina, General Organa has requested your presence."
"What for?" I asked, wondering why the General requested a mechanic.
" She wouldn't tell me." He replied.
Once we reached the control room, he opted to wait for me, while keeping Shara occupied.
"General, you asked for me?" I asked once I was inside the room.
"Yes ,there's something I need to talk to you about."
"Is Serena alright? " I replied.
"Your sister is alright. But the reason why I called you here is that we have an old base on Hoth and we need an experienced mechanic like you to get things running better and to teach the new mechanics that we may recruit. It'll be about a week; once you and a few others get there, the base will contact us about your arrival."
"But what about my daughter? I mean, she's got her friends here and something may happen on my way there, if I do go,and I don't want anything happening to her. Giving me a hug, she laughed." "You have nothing to worry about; Finn and Rey seem to be fond of Shara, so why not ask them?" Looking at her, I nodded. "And another thing, you can call me Leia since you're practically family."
"Thank you." I said as she let me go.
"If there's ever a time when you need someone to talk to, you and Shara can come to me, alright?" Nodding my head, she dismissed me with a wave of her hand. Once I got back out in the hall, Poe was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Finn and Rey were squatting in front of a crying Shara. I was about to ask,but Finn beat me to it.
"He's with Calliope." Finn answered before I could get anything out.
"Of course, how silly of me." I knew Calliope never liked me or Shara when she first saw us. "Anyways, I'm going to grab a quick bite with Shara and then finish some things up at the hangar, you wanna join?"
"As much as we would like to, we've got some repairs that need to be made on the Millennium Falcon." Rey replied, giving me an apologetic smile.
"That's fine; I'll see you guys tomorrow then." Waving as they left, I let my smile melt away. "It's just another day." I murmured as I headed to the cantina, Shara holding onto my hand, her face still red from crying.
After getting a tray of food for Shara and I, I surveyed the sea of resistance members until my gaze landed on a familiar pilot.
"You just going to stand there drooling?" Jessika asked as she and Snap stood on either side of me, Shara eyeing each of them.
"Ha, funny." I said dryly.
" As much as we'd like to stay and chat, we've got somewhere to be. But you enjoy the rest of your night." Snap patted Shara on the head as he and Jessika headed over to Poe, his girlfriend, and their friends. Sighing, I went with Shara and our food and sat down at an empty table and that's when the chanting of happy birthday came from Poe's table. Glancing up, I saw everyone in the cantina surrounding the table. I briefly remembered Poe talking to me about what women like and all that. As soon as I stood up with the tray, I could see the scene better; it was Calliope's birthday then too. How nice. Ignoring the event that was going on, I went and threw my tray away, then proceeded to head back to get Shara and then we went outside and headed to the hangar to distract myself from the hurt and anger I was feeling at the moment.
