Tatooine

When Lyra woke up, a box of credits were on her. She shook her head, as if trying to clear the cob webs stuck in her brain. What was happening again? She thought to herself, when she observed what was before her. Her eyes widened at the sight.

The Silver was destroyed and Lyra's memory of what happened slowly came back, image after image. She widened her eyes at Caroline, who lay unconscious. Pushing box off of her, Lyra scooted over to Caroline and checked her pulse before sighing in relief. Still alive. her heart is still beating. She grabbed her knapsack dangling from the hook and stuffed credits in it along with a metal bottle of water with a couple of food rations. But something was missing, Lyra could feel it before turning around.

Another box that Caroline brought. That she risked her life for. Lyra hadn't peeked in the box for twelve years, when she was determined not to look at her past ever again. For countless days Lyra would stare at what was inside the box. Wondering about her past. About who was the Jedi who survived. Maybe he was still alive, looking Lyra. The last Jedi left.

Lyra knows that it was a he. She remembered feeling loved. She remembered feelings, some hurtful, some loving. but she didn't know where those pieces of the puzzle came into play.

Eventually, Lyra heard a groan coming from Caroline and watched her get up.

"No helping hand?" Caroline asked as she got up and held her head. "That was a big crash."

"Yeah," Lyra replied and picked up the box that held the only thing of her past.

"Take it with us, Lyra." Caroline said and dusted herself off, a habit from her mother even though her clothes were dirty with dirt and grime. "Even if you never want to see it again, its one of the only things you have left. Take it." Lyra sighed and tried to fit it in her bag, but there was too much stuff shoved in.

She took a deep breath as Caroline rustled with grabbing her stuff in the background, and opened the box.

No dust was collected as Lyra took her lightsaber out of the box and threw the box away. Then, she clipped it onto her belt and threw her bag over her shoulder, making sure that her cloak was hiding her lightsaber. After all, she didn't want to get mugged. Light sabers were worth a lot of money.

Caroline smiled as she fit in her picture of Mary and herself in her bag and swung her own over her shoulder.

"Come on, this ship is done for." Caroline whined and Lyra nodded.

"I know." She whispered and the friends walked out hand in hand towards the future.

***Boo***

Lyra and Caroline walked for what felt like miles and miles on end until they finally reached cilvization, this town with a bar. They walked by many strange creatures and made sure to keep their bags close to them.

"Remember, Care." Lyra whispered to Caroline. "We just get someone to take us to the Outer Rim. That's it." Caroline nodded, but Lyra knew she had a habit of... Getting off topic.

They entered the bar and walked by the large tables, looking for someone to escort them. They talked to many men, but none would do it undercover and for under 20 000 credits. And 20 000 credits was all they had.

As they continued walking, Lyra was surprised. Caroline only got into one fight with someone, who said that she was weak. She beat the man hands down in an arm wrestling contest, which turned into a shoving match, which led Stromtroopers in the room and them to hide away.

"I told you, Care." Lyra whispered. "No bar fights!" She said harshly and Caroline rolled her eyes until the Stormtroopers left.

"Lyra, those guys were asking for it." Caroline replied as Lyra rolled her eyes and left for some other pilot. A bar this big has to have a decent pilot who can get under the Stormtroopers eyes and head them to the outer rim. Lyra was desperate.

So they split up, hoping to cover more ground. They both knew how to defend themselves, so they were fine there. Lyra walked around the bar, her wide brown eyes darting from person to person, and her bouncy curls almost hidden under her faded brown cloak hood.

But something felt as if it was pulling Lyra to go to this corner of the room. Lyra couldn't help but walk to the corner where a man in his late twenties and another man in a cloak with a young boy sat. Lyra wasn't Lyra anymore.

She felt something come over her as she took step after step towards the men, her hands were at her side and she turned her head in curiositly. Then, right as she was a metre from the people, the man in his twenties pulled out a gun and aimed it at her head.

This snapped Lyra back to her senses as she widened her eyes and her hand instantly went to her light saber but there was no need.

"What're you doing here, Lady." The man with the gun asked her as the man in the cloak turned around. The man in the cloak looked old, with whitening hair and a quick smile. His eyes widened at Lyra right before he smiled. Lyra's hand was still on her light saber, but loosened the grip. These guys could be muggers, they can't know that she had a light saber.

The only other one was a young boy who looked around the same age as her with blondish-brownish hair and blue eyes. He was cute to Lyra, but she was still on guard. "I'm looking for a passage to the outer rim," Lyra said strongly as the young boy raised his eyebrows. "I heard that you could take me." She continued and raised her head higher.

"Well, you heard wrong." The man in his twenties said and leaned back, but his hand was still on his blaster. "I don't just take people." Lyra smirked, she liked the guy's attuide. It kind of reminded her as Caroline.

"Of course," Lyra said. "For a price. I'm willing to pay 15 000 credits for a trip for two. Me and my friend." The man seemed impressed as the old man looked at her before asking her a question.

"What's your name?" He asked and Lyra raised her eye brows.

"How is that any of your business?" She asked and the man with the blaster laughed.

"I like you." He said and put away the blaster. "I'm Hans Solo. Pleasure."

"Luke." The young boy said. "Luke Skywalker." He smiled at her, she seemed really pretty.

"I'm Ben Kenobi." The old man said and Lyra heaved a sigh.

"Will you take me and my friend?" She asked and Hans Solo nodded, slightly. He liked the mysterious girl. She seemed like she knew what she was doing and wouldn't let anything stop her.

"Sure." He said but wagged a finger. "But if you don't pay-" Lyra grabbed the bag off of her shoulder and opened it before taking out a large box of credits.

"I think I can pay." She said and Hans nodded as she put the box away.

"What is your name anyway?" Hans asked and Lyra smiled right before Caroline came.

"Are these guys taking us?" CAroline asked, and Lyra nodded. "Can we trust them?"

"Who can we not trust?" She asked and Hans exploded in laughter before CAroline shrugged and smiled.

"I guess their not that bad. They at least have a sense of humour." Caroline hold's out her hand. "I'm Caroline, and this is-"

"Lyra." Lyra finished and she couldn't shake off the expression on Ben's face when she said her name.

***Hooray, we're getting somewhere***

I honestly didn't think I would've made it this far. I thought of this story a long time ago, and thought I would jsut save the drafts and never would have the guts to publish it. Well, I'm glad I did!

Also, I finally have some motivation. You should favourite this for faster updates. Every time some favourites this, I'm going to upload a day faster. Usually, I update in three or two days, but then, if you favourite this, you can get it in a day or two.

Hooray for math.

Review. Favourite. Follow. Share.

Laughs and Giggles,
