3 Years Later (That's what Google said anyways)
The Outer Rim
"Hey, Care." Lyra said, coming into her home. Caroline was currently practicing shooting cans off the window ledge with her Blaster. For some reason, she's been addicted with her Blaster lately, like, a lot.
"Hey, Lyra." Caroline responded and put the blaster away before smiling. "How was the market?" Lyra shrugged before bringing in a bag of goodies.
"It was kind of expensive." She responded and placed down the bag before opening the bag, revealing two loafs of bread, a carton of orange juice, and five slices of cheese.
"That's all!" Caroline exclaimed. "You went with 100 credits!"
"I know, apparently, shipping's been jammed up lately by the Empire." Lyra responded before twisting a part of her curly hair, which she cut to be a bit shorter than half her chest. Caroline sighed.
"We really need to get back out there, Lyra." Caroline said. "Get back to the action." She smiled and turned on their run down TV before flipping to random channels.
"No way, Care, I'm perfectly content here." Lyra responded as Caroline smiled.
"Right..." Caroline said, knowing the truth. Lyra loved to steal and fight. Lyra loved action so much, but ever since Caroline got shot, she was constantly afraid of going back.
Lyra studied the TV and widened her eyes at one part.
"Wait, stop." Lyra said and her eyes gleamed at the program. Yeah, their TV didn't exactly show normal stuff, like TV shows, it showed protected Empire and The Rebellion broadcasts. It took weeks to do, but was completely worth it.
Lyra watched as a big robot things started marching along an Ice Planet. It looked kind of like an elephant with the legs of a giraffe. People shot at the machine, but it kept trudging on. Obviously, it was the Empire's work, their style was impeccable. Suddenly, a flash of blue appeared and Lyra could've recognized that gleam of blue from anywhere. It was Luke Skywalker's Light saber.
She watched as a bunch of people began to retreat before Caroline tapped Lyra on the shoulder.
"Lyra..." Caroline whispered and pointed to the window. A big Empire ship landed. And Stormtroopers piled out.
"Ah, shoot." Lyra whispered and they immediately grabbed all their stuff. It wasn't much, since they didn't have much, but it was enough to last a week or two. The Rebellion gave them quite a bit of credits, but it wasn't like they could live off of it forever. They were going to run out soon.
After grabbing all their stuff, they raced towards Ancestry and boarded the ship before flying away, not a single Stormtrooper noticing them. Well, maybe they did, but they didn't exactly care.
"Now what?" Caroline asked as they jumped into Hyperspace. Lyra seemed to be spacing out again. "Lyra?"
"Just wondering how convenient it is that Stormtroopers come to attack us now." Lyra responded.
"Let's go get some food." Caroline finally said. "At an actual reasonable price."
"Which planet?" Lyra asked before they checked the GPS for some planets to get some food at.
"Ummm... the neutral planets in this area... Well, let's just say that there isn't exactly a lot of them..." Caroline responds as Lyra checks the map for herself.
"There's Cloud City. That sounds cool it does have alliteration in it." Lyra points out as Caroline said.
"Convienent much, Lyra?" Caroline asks as Lyra only rolled her eyes.
***Heh, heh, heh, just a little too predictable...***
When Caroline and Lyra arrive at Cloud City, they quickly run into the market and buy take-out, since while they both knew how to assemble and disassemble a blaster, they didn't know how to make a decent sandwich. When they were done, they started out to go back home, when suddenly, Lyra froze, feeling the prescene of someone she hadn't felt for three years.
"Vadar's here." Lyra whispered, her voice full of fear.
"How do you know?" Caroline whispered back as Lyra shrugged.
"I don't know." Lyra responded. "It must be the force."
"Or its because he's literally right there." Caroline pointed to the rooftop of a building, where, sure enough, Vadar was walking out of the ship, flanked by Stormtroopers and some guy in a blue suit. He looked kind of like a wannabe Darth Vadar who got his suit colors wrong.
"Ah, butterscotch cookies." Lyra grumbled as Caroline stared at her in confusion before they both fled towards the huge building.
"Why are they here anyway?" Caroline muttered before Lyra only shrugged.
"We have to get to our ship so we can leave." Lyra whispered as the girls slowly crept along the building, as if someone could magically just appear and murder them in cold blood. Actually, Lyra was quite afraid that would happen, because of the Rebel Base and all.
Eventually, they got to their ship, which lay untouched as they both quickly boarded and right before they were about to leave, something caught Lyra's attention yet again. Or, someone.
It was Hans Solo, Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO.
"Oh come on!" Lyra said angriely as she eyed them down. "Obviously they have to come now. They're going to get murdered in there!" Caroline finally noticed what caught Lyra's eye and pointed to them.
"Aren't those the people in the rebellion?" She asked as Lyra rubbed her eyes.
"Yeah," She mumbled.
"We're going to have to save them, huh?" Caroline muttered as Lyra nodded.
"Come on, Caroline. You said you wanted action. Let's do this."
They both got off of their ship, Caroline clutching her blaster, Lyra holding her light saber.
"Okay, so here's the plan." Lyra mumbled. "You're going to go warn them, and I'm going to distract the Stormtroopers before regrouping with you guys on their ship. Clear?"
"Wait, wait, wait!" Caroline whispered angrily. "I thought the number one rule in war was to never split up!"
"This ain't war, Care. Its just a battle. Now, let's go!" Lyra responded as they split up.
Lyra walked down the halls, still clutching her lightsaber, and as she kept walking for five minutes or so, she realized something.
She was completely, and utterly, lost.
Lyra frowned and turned from side to side, realizing that all the halls looked exactly the same.
She pulled her brown cloak tightly over her face, hiding her eyes and nose, as if someone would recognize her, and kept wandering around. She was completely lost, it was usually Caroline who would guide her through places. Now, Caroline was gone. It was then, when Lytra realized that she probbaly should've gotten a map or something.
After about fifteen more minutes of roaming through the halls, Lyra bit her lip. This was going bad, really, really bad. Half the hallways didn't even have any doors! Like, seriously, why did they need so many hallways!
It was then, when Lyra ran into a Stormtrooper and stopped.
"Hey, do you know where Darth Vadar is?" She asked, her voice casual.
"Oh, yeah, right down that hall, take two lefts, one right and then you'll reach where he should be."
"Do you know where the Rebels are too?" Lyra asked when the StormTrooper nodded.
"Yeah, they're down that hallway too, just on the first door to the right." He said as Lyra grinned.
"Thanks!" She said before walking that way. Some Stormtroopers are seriously really polite. It was then when Lyra realized that that was a Stormtrooper.
"Sorry, man." Lyra whispered to herself before turning around and shooting him with the blaster. He fell backwards before Lyra started sprinting in the way he told her.
Down the hall, two lefts, one right later, Lyra found herself at a really big, fancy door. She bit her lip, hoping not to be too late, and opened the door.
Nobody was there.
Lyra was too late.
"Ah Butterscotch sticks." Lyra mumbled before checking the REbel's room too. Nothing.
Lyra bit her lip and looked around. Sure enough, there was a wire, that seemed to belong to C-3PO, and a strand of hair that seemed to belong to Caroline. It also smelled a whole lot like Chewbacca. Lyra bit her lip and felt a sob rising. She was too late.
Damn her horrible sense of direction.
"Maybe I can find them..." Lyra whispered to herself. "Maybe I can find them... And help them before the worst comes."
So, Lyra once again started running down the halls, fear pushing her to go faster and farther.
She only stopped, dead in her tracks, about ten minutes later, when an ear wrenching scream rattled her eardrums.
Luke.

I swear, this was hard to write. How are you suppose to incorporate your made up character into a movie that you absolutely love and wouldn't change a thing of? Like, seriously, this was hard to write.
I did two updates (mentally high fives people) hooray for me!
2017 is almost here!
Review. Follow. Favourite. Share.
Laughs and Giggles,
