Chapter Eight.
Ezra's POV.
Honeymoon suite.
"Kanan what are you doing in my fighter?" I ask watching the jedi try to stealthily get out and sneak away.
"Oh hey Ezra." Kanan says trying to be nonchalante.
I look at him expectantly.
"Oh right the fighter. I was just making sure the thing was ready to go." Kanan says smiling.
"And was it?" I ask smirking.
"Yeah right as rain." Kanan says starting to walk away.
"So the you didn't realize that the left stabilizer is damaged?" I ask my back to him.
"What?" Kanan asks turning back around and looking at the stabilizer. "This isn't damaged."
"I know but you would have known that already if you did run a systems check. So what were you really doing?" I ask scrutinizing his face for any tells.
He hardens his expression and shrugs. "Don't know kid. Good luck on your mission. And remember our talk about hiding yourself in the force." Kanan says walking away.
I shake my head and start to do a pre check on my fighter.
"Hey Ezra, you in there?" Sabine asks from behind the fighter.
"Yeah. What's up?" I ask stopping mid check.
"Do me a favor and hit the third button from the left on you bottom right hand console." She responds while fiddling with something back there.
"Okay." I say locating the button and pressing it.
"OW!" Sabine yells.
"Sorry." I yell back pushing the button again.
"Wasn't your fault touched a live wire." Sabine explains coming around to the side and showing a small burn.
"So what did I do when I pushed the button?" I ask.
"You turned on your scrambler. And then turned it off. Wanted to make sure it would work." Sabine says smiling.
"Ah probably shouldn't be holding on to the thing when it goes live then eh?" I ask smirking.
"Probably not but oh well." Sabine says smiling.
"Hey we good to go?" Rex asks walking up behind us in full combat gear.
"Yup Echo at the Phantom?" Sabine asks.
"Yes he's already doing his preflight check. You have everything you two need for the mission?" Rex asks looking between us.
"Yes everything we can get here at least. I need to make two stops once we're in the city. But getting into the city is going to be the hard part. We have to go in through the sewers and a gang hideout. The hideout shouldn't be a problem as long as they don't recognize me." I explain while continuing on with my check list.
"Why would they recognize you? I thought you stayed away from gangs." Sabine asks sounding troubled by this information.
"I may have stayed clear of them but it doesn't mean that they stayed clear of me." I say finishing my check list.
"Now let's get going." I say flashing a smile and closing the door.
"Hey!" Sabine says glaring at me through the plastic.
I point to her fighter. She frowns and walks off while Rex is laughing beside her. Rex walks off laughing and I start my fighter. I watch the system start up and run normally.
"Fighter B1 requesting take off clearance." I say through the radio.
"Fighter B1 destination Lothal?" Tower asks back.
"Affirmative. Clearance granted?"
"Clearance granted. May the force be with you B1." I smile and move my fighter the entrance as Sabine, Rex and Echo follow me. We get to the platform and the overhead doors open up. We raise up and break atmosphere.
"Alright set coordinates. Phantom, S2 ready to jump?" I ask through an open channel.
"Ready." Sabine responds.
"Good to jump." Echo says.
"Jump in, three, two, one, Jump." I say hitting the switch and watching the stars blurr.
"It never gets old." I say quietly.
"What never gets old?" Sabine asks.
"Watching the stars blur as you enter hyperspace." I say with a smile on my face.
"It's a way to get from point A to point B. That's how I see it anyway." Sabine says smirk evident in her voice.
"You realize just how many life forms we are passing in just a second? It's amazing." I say with a bit of awe in my voice. "It's like on of your paintings to me Sabine."
"I like to think that I'm good. But I think that the galaxy has me beat." Sabine says happily.
"Disagree Mighty Mando. You are one of the best painters I know." I say with as much charm as possible.
"ha-Shut it." A quiet whisper goes out over the comms.
"I heard that." Sabine says irritated.
"Uh yeah Echo left the radio on. Sorry." Rex says trying not to laugh.
"You guys are terrible." I say laughing a little.
"Not you too Bridger." Sabine says even more irritated.
"Sorry Mighty Mando." Rex says before bursting out in laughter.
"I'll comm you when we are about to reach Lothal." Sabine says before cutting the link off.
"That's dush*." I say nervously.
"Crap we pissed her off didn't we?" Echo asks with Rex howling in laughter in the background.
"Yeah but it's me that's gonna pay." I say sighing.
"Don't worry kid if she's anything like the people say you'll be fine and mostly intact." Echo says jokingly.
"Yeah this is going to be so fun." I say frowning.
"You have to play the part of husband so go apologize to your wife." Rex interrupts.
"Rex." I say.
"Yes?" He asks joyfully.
"Go shove it up your exhaust port." I say before cutting the comm line off.
I open a comm link to Sabine.
"What?" She asks annoyed.
"Sorry I forgot to switch from open link to direct." I apologize.
"It's not you. It's them. Stupid clones." Sabine says pouting.
"Haha. Don't worry about them once we get to Lothal it'll just be all us." I say cheerfully.
"You are so happy about that eh?" Sabine asks teasingly.
"Yes. I mean. It reminds me of my old days. Working on my own or with a temporary partner." I say happily.
"You really liked being on your own?" Sabine asks sounding a tad unhappy.
"I did. But I also didn't know any better." I say happily.
"So it's better then when you were on your own?" Sabine asks happily.
"Yes. So much so. I like having a family." I say smiling. "And a girlfriend."
"You are ridiculous Ezra." Sabine says laughing.
"You know you like me." I say cockily.
"You are way to secure in your position as my cabur*." Sabine says obviously shaking her head.
"Yeah but that's only because your my cabur*." I say happily.
"You are lucky you are cute." Sabine says happily.
"You think I'm cute? Not handsome?" I ask curiously.
"There a few different things that make you attractive by Mandalorian standards." Sabine says.
"What do you mean by Mandalorian standards?" I ask curious.
"Well Mandalorians consider a few different things other than looks." Sabine says.
"Like what?" I ask.
"Well we value things like loyalty, family bonds, skill in combat, and discipline." Sabine explains.
"I have like two of those." I say frowning.
"You have all of them. While they might be new to you, you do have them. You are loyal to those who you call friends or family. You have completely came into our family on the ghost since you joined. You are training to become a jedi. That takes incredible combat skills and they are a valued enemy to my people. Not to mention the amount of discipline it takes." Sabine explains.
"Wait Jedi and Mandalorians were enemies?" I ask surprised.
I didn't come by anything like that by searching the holonet.
"Yes many wars have been fought between Jedi and Mando'ades. While it's never been clear who started them. The clear winner has always been the Jedi." Sabine says.
"Then why are we valued enemies?" I ask confused.
"Mandalorians value a tough enemy. A good fight leaves you stronger and hopefully more equipped to fight again." Sabine says serious.
"The last fight I got in like that I ended up with a lesson learned and a new scar." I say just as seriously.
"And now you have managed to fight off an Inquisitor by yourself. You learned from your previous fight." Sabine says.
"I don't really want to talk about that last fight." I say cringing.
"I know. I was talking about the first fight. You managed to hold your own." Sabine says.
"I messed up. I put up a sloppy block and it got me taken down." I say frustrated at the fact I failed.
"However you also managed to take down one of the two Inquisitors." Sabine argues back.
"Yeah with one lucky hit. If I hadn't then I would probably be dead." I say frustrated.
"Ezra just because you got in a lucky hit doesn't mean that you didn't deserve it. You managed to fight one off then escape and down another while tired and then fight off until reinforcements came to help. Don't belittle what you've accomplished." Sabine says firmly.
"I-Okay. It's was hard but worth it." I say smiling.
"Good. Now we should get a little rest. No telling what will happen once we get to Lothal." Sabine says smiling.
"Right. I'll tell Echo and Rex." I say switching comm channels.
"Hey Rex, Echo we are going to get some sleep you two should consider getting some as well." I say happily.
"Well someone patched things up with his wife." Rex says laughing a little.
"Rex. Shut up and get some sleep before we get there." I say unamused and shut off the comm channel.
I smile and fall asleep.
Hours later.
"Nearring destination." The control panel shouts out jarring me awake.
"Damn." I curse under my breath.
I open a comm channel to Rex and Echo.
"Hey guys wake up!" I shout over the comm's.
"WHAT THE HARAN?" Rex shouts out.
"Haha. Calm down guys you aren't under attack. Just needed to wake you up." I say laughing my butt off.
"You decided to wake up soldiers by shouting at them? What did you expect?" Echo asks unhappily.
"I expected an over reaction. And exactly what I got." I say laughing more.
"Not nice Ezra. Go wake up your wife." Rex says unhappy.
"Ha. Ha. You are so funny." I say smiling.
I switch over comm channels.
"Hey Sabine you up?" I ask quietly.
"Yup. Been up for a few minutes. Wake up Rex and Echo yet?" She asks happily.
"Yeah. With a bit of yelling. They responded quickly." I say laughing a little.
"They tend to do that. Switch over to an open channel with the Phantom." Sabine says before switching over herself. I switch over and listen.
"Hey Phantom team switch on your cloaking devices and head straight for the cover area. Ezra and I will do the same and meet you there. Remember absolutely no comm traffic once we are out of hyperspace." Sabine says strictly.
"You got it ma'am." Echo says.
"It's not ma'am. It's Sabine." Sabine says unhappily.
"Sorry Sabine. And sorry for before." Rex says.
"It's alright just don't do it again." Sabine says.
"You got it." Echo says.
"Alright two minutes until we get out of hyperspace. See you guys on the surface." I say switching off comms and switching on my cloaking device.
A couple of minutes later and I exit hyperspace. I look around and see a massive fleet. There are four star destroyers and their respective fleets surrounding Lothal.
"Wow." I say stunned.
They tried to fight off this? No wonder they are wounded so badly.
I pilot my fighter with as little movement as possible as to not draw any attention. I pass underneath a light cruiser.
And thankfully Sabine's jammer works perfectly.
"Yes." I whisper cheerfully.
I fly through the cloud cover to the premarked position and land. I see Sabine, Echo, and Rex have already landed and are talking. I shut off my fighter and spy a small box with a note on it.
"What the?" I ask aloud confused. I grab the box and read the note.
"Dear Ezra. I know you forgot about this part of being a married couple. Hope you don't mind using these but I'm sure you can trust Sabine with her's. From Kanan."
What is he-
I open the box to reveal the rings that I gave to Kanan to keep guard over. I smile and close the box slipping it into a hidden pocket before hopping out.
"Hey guys. Sabine your jammer worked perfectly." I say happily.
"Yeah I was worried that they might not work. But they performed better than I expected." Sabine says smiling.
"Alright so what are we to do while you get into capital city?" Rex asks seriously.
"You two are going to remain here. If we find trouble we can't get out of then you take the Phantom and come get us. Sorry but clones in full battle armour stands out pretty well." Sabine says smiling.
"We understand. So you will comm us when to make the move to the roof of the hospital?" Rex says smiling while holding his helmet.
"Yes as soon as we locate the meds we'll comm you. Once we get them to you, you will get back to home base as fast to possible. Those men need those meds as soon ass possible." I say seriously.
"Your priorities are as they should be. But don't get hurt in the process of helping fellow soldiers." Echo says smiling.
"A Jedi should always be focused on helping those who need us." I say smiling.
"Alright let's go wise Jedi." Sabine says jokingly.
"Hey I can be wise." I say feigning insult.
"Yeah and I'm Grand Moff Tarken." Sabine says starting towards capital city.
"Haha. Nice one." I say following her.
"Alright. Let's get there quickly. I want to get what we need and get into the hotel." Sabine says before putting her helmet on.
"Yeah." I say smirking. A few hours later Ezra and Sabine near Capital city.
"Hey we're almost there. It's my tower." I say smiling.
"Yeah. So where is this spot that we are getting in?" Sabine asks looking to the looming city.
"There is a sewer exit a few kilometers from here." I say pointing toward the far side of the city.
"Good more walking." Sabine says sarcastically.
"Hey we didn't have speeders. Walking isn't the worst way to get around." I say shrugging.
"Let's just get going." Sabine says starting to walk again.
"Eager to get to the hotel?" I ask smiling.
"Eager to get those people what they need." Sabine corrects.
"Whatever you say." I say smirking.
She leans over punches me in the shoulder.
"What was that for?" I ask rubbing my shoulder.
"For being focused on the wrong thing." Sabine says smirking.
"I...uh...well I am focused at least." I say while cursing my off focusness.
"On the wrong thing. What happened to focusing on the mission and us afterwards?" Sabine says helmet practically glaring at me.
"I promise once we get to the sewer entrance I will focus on the mission completely." I say smiling.
"Good. Now what about this gang? Will you have much trouble getting through?" Sabine asks as we walk through the fields surrounding the city.
"If they recognize me it will go one of two ways. They might just let me go with a warning not to come back. But if it's not that they will most definitely try to kill me." I say nervously.
"Why would they try to kill you?" Sabine asks.
"I know them from the past. Needless to say our last meeting didn't end well." I say frowning.
"How badly?" Sabine asks as we near the outer edges of the city.
"The last time I saw them they were shooting at me. But as long as they don't see my face they won't care. I have the credits for our passage through." I say patting my belt.
"Good. But don't you need something to cover your face?" Sabine asks as we approach the entrance.
"Yeah give me a second." I say as we walk up to the entrance. I walk over a few feet to a service panel. I pry it open and pull out two cloaks.
"Here. Put this on over your armour." I say handing on to her.
I put mine on and pull the hood up and low over my face. Sabine does the same.
"Why are we putting cloaks on?" Sabine asks as I open up the entrance. "Because your armour is valuable and we really don't want people to attack us for it." I say hopping into the sewer pipes.
I help her up and we start walking. We walk around a few corner and I stop.
There is a gold symbol spray painted on the wall.
"What's the Mandalorian crest doing here." Sabine asks confused.
"That's not the Mandalorian crest. But it's close." I say looking the symbol of death to me.
"What's wrong Ezra?" Sabine asks noticing I stopped.
"We are entering their territory now. Don't mention my name. Don't talk just use hand signals." I say deadly serious.
"Okay." Sabine says realizing how serious I am.
I hold my stare mostly to the ground mindlessly walking the familiar halls. We walk through the final passage way and walk into a large room. The room has many people in it and they are all staring at us.
I keep my head down low and Sabine does the same. I walk over to a table. I silently set down a bag of credits and start to walk away.
"Hey the charge has gone up. We need another fifty credits." The man says as people stop us from going further.
I nod and Sabine tosses the man fifty more credits.
"Did I say fifty? I meant a hundred." The man says grinning.
"Don't push your luck." I say quietly and deadly.
"You won't get through here otherwise punk. You can't challenge the Zann Consortium." The man says frowning.
"You have your credits. Let us pass through. Even the Zann Consortium has some sort of honour." I say starting to walk again.
"Hmm. Fine." The man says considering what I said.
I motion for Sabine to follow. We reach the ladder and Sabine climbs first.
"Don't come through here again. Bridger." The man threatens.
I nod and climb up the ladder. I reach Sabine and we continue out of the sewer lines.
We walk out into the city and out of the area. I pull off my cloak and Sabine does the same. I grab the one from Sabine and stash it hidden alleyway.
"C'mon let's get to the market." I say quietly mind still reeling from the encounter.
"The Zann-" I stop her before she can finish.
"Don't mention that name." I say glaring at her.
"Sorry. I've heard of it before. They are quite powerful." Sabine says quietly.
"They were. That is one of the last pieces of his criminal empire." I say starting walk again.
"What happened?" Sabine asks following me.
"Tyber Zann made a deal with Jabba the Hutt." I say a small smile gracing my face.
"How do you know that?" Sabine asks removing her helmet.
"I was an independent messenger used to negotiate on Lothal. I got a look at every message sent between them. I also got the message that Jabba sent to his members to kill all of the Zann members on Lothal. I was partial to the Zann members so I gave them the message and watched Jabba's members get slaughtered." I say watching it all over again in my mind.
"So Jabba betrayed Tyber." Sabine says frowning.
"Yes. No honour among criminals. Tyber had some as long as you said and did what you meant. But Jabba didn't care." I say monotonically.
"So you dealt with both sides. But if you helped the Zann side why do they want to kill you?" Sabine asks looking confused.
"It was a long time ago. Can we talk about this some other time?" I ask face and voice still without emotion.
"Alright. You can tell me later. Now we need clothes, a suit case, and rings." Sabine says pulling out a data pad.
"Not the rings. C'mon on I'll explain later." I say seeing the confused look on her face.
"Okay. Then we need clothes then a suitcase." Sabine says walking forward.
"C'mon let's go to my favorite shop." I say smiling. I walk forward leading Sabine through the crowded market place. I walk up to a door with a closed sign on it.
"Hey that one's closed let's go somewhere else." Sabine says starting to walk away.
"Nah that's just cause she doesn't deal with people she doesn't know." I say smiling and knocking.
"Can't you see I'm closed." An older female's voice rings out.
"It's me Valerie. Ezra." I call back.
A quick flurry of movement sounds out and the door opens. Revealing an older woman with brown hair, emerald green eyes and dark skin.
"Ezra. It really is you." She says with a smile.
"Of course it is. It's good to see you are still in good health." I say smiling.
"You disappeared for a while. What happened and who is she?" Valerie asks giving Sabine a suspicious look.
"She's my girlfriend. She can be trusted." I say stepping out of the way of the two.
"Hello, My name is Sabine." Sabine says once again taking her helmet off.
"A Mandalorian. How did you meet her?" Valerie asks smiling.
"Joined a new crew and meet her there." I say smiling.
"A new crew? Don't tell me you joined another gang? Your mother raised you better then that young man." Valerie says giving me a stern look.
"It's not a gang I joined a ship that does odd jobs for people who need help." I say nervously.
"And what is the name of this crew?" Valerie asks raising an eyebrow.
"Sorry. I can't tell you. It would put you in harm's way." I say firmly.
"Fine." Valerie says motioning for us to come in.
"You know Sabine looks familiar." Valerie says smiling.
"So what do you need?" Sabine and I walk into the smaller shop filled with many different things. From clothes to weapons to jewelery.
"We need some good clothes and a suitcase to fit her armour in." I say smiling.
"Ah sounds like fun. Alright we will need a dress for the lady and some good clothes for the young man." Valerie says looking a clothes rack filled with dresses.
"I don't wear dresses." Sabine says firmly.
"You will." Valerie says pulling out a blue and red swirling dress.
"Go try this on. Ezra no peeking." Valerie says smirking at me.
"Hey I don't do that!" I say turning bright red.
"Besides if he did he'd be dead." Sabine says smirking at me.
"Haha. A refreshing point of view." Valerie says laughing and handing Sabine the dress.
"Fine." Sabine says walking to a small room with a door.
"You sure picked a fiery one." Valerie says looking at me happily.
"You have no idea." I say smiling brightly.
"Does she know about your past?" Valerie asks turning serious.
"She knows a lot more than anyone else. But no she doesn't know all of my past. I will tell her someday but not now." I say turning serious as well.
"So what do you think?" Sabine says opening the door.
My jaw drops.
"Well?" Valerie asks smiling at me.
Sabine looks amazing. She has her multicolored hair that works with her red and blue dress. The dress goes down just below her collarbone and just above her knees. It compliments her curves well.
"I...uh…You look amazing." I say getting my mouth to work.
"Thanks." Sabine says smiling.
"Now for you young man." Valerie says handing me a stack of clothes.
"I'll be right back." I say stepping to the room.
I quickly change into the black pants, white shirt, and navy blue over coat.
I step out. "So how do I look?"
Sabine looks over and appears to be lost in thought.
"You look like a presentable young man." Valerie says smiling.
"I-Yeah you look pretty good Ezra." Sabine says smiling.
"But why do you still have that metal storage compartment on your leg?" Sabine asks frowning.
"It's a medical brace. You haven't told her?" Valerie asks raising an eyebrow at me.
"Sorry. I kinda forgot about it. Sabine I got shot in the leg a few year back. Without this leg brace I probably couldn't walk. Definitely couldn't run." I explain.
Sabine looks horrified.
"Who?"
"Stormtroopers." I say shrugging.
"No wonder you hate them." Sabine says looking extremely pissed off.
"Don't go blowing up the academy here. We have a different job." I say smirking.
"Alright now you need a suitcase right?" Valerie asks looking around.
"Yes one to fit Sabine's armour." I say looking around as well.
"Here." Valerie says choosing a medium sized one.
"Your armour can pack into itself for easy storage." Valerie says handing it to Sabine.
"Yes… How did you know that?" Sabine asks looking surprised.
"I was a part of the Republic forces unit the 501st. We were trained by Mandalorians and we learned how to use Mandalorian armour if we ever came across it for ourselves." She says happily.
"Wait did you say the 501st?" I ask surprised.
"Yes. Why?" Valerie asks smiling.
"Then you must know Rex, Echo, Wolfe, and Coric. Right?" I ask smiling.
"I-How do you know those names?" Valerie asks surprised.
"I'm working with them currently. I'm sure Rex would like to talk to you." I say smiling at the shocked look on her face.
"I-That would be nice. I heard that they were dead." Valerie says smiling.
I bring up my comm link and signal Rex.
"Hey what's going on Ezra? Trouble already?" Rex asks seriously.
"No surprisingly. I found an old friend of yours." I say smiling and handing the comm unit to Valerie.
"Hello commander Rex." Valerie says smiling.
"Captain Valerie?" Rex asks surprised.
"Yes sir. Heard you were dead sir." Valerie says smiling.
"Had to fake our death to avoid the Empire. Heard you left the Empire after we did." Rex says.
"Yes. I couldn't take what they were doing. What have you been up to?" Valerie asks.
"Joined the Rebellion. Ezra and Sabine are two of our best operatives. Rescued and recruited Echo, Coric, Wolfe and I. Even survived a mission to Coruscant." Rex explains leaving a shocked expression on Valeries face.
"YOU IDIOT! YOU TOOK EZRA ON A MISSION TO CORUSCANT? WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING? Valerie screams into the comm unit.
"Sorry Valerie. But Ezra is a Jedi and Sabine is an explosive expert. They can handle themselves easily." Rex says nervously.
"A what?" Valerie asks looking at me surprised.
I pull out my hybrid blaster and ignite my blade.
"Ezra Bridger. Rebel. Jedi Padawan." I say smiling.
"You are training to be a Jedi knight?" Valerie asks still surprised.
"Yes. But don't tell anyone. The Empire already wants me dead. I don't want even more people after me." I say dousing my blade and placing it back.
"Then you can use the force?" Valerie asks.
"Yes." I say raising my hand and lifting the suitcase off the ground.
"Amazing…" Valerie says.
"Yes he is. I watched him and his master take down dozens of troopers in seconds. You know we could use a fighter like you in our training program. You could fight for the old Republic again." Rex says hopefully.
"Would I have to fight?" Valerie asks hesitantly.
"Only if you wanted too. And you would only report to Commander Tano." Rex says quickly.
"Commander Tano is still alive?" Valerie asks surprised. "I thought that she died in the purge?"
"No Commander Tano is one of the chief founders of the Rebellion. Echo and the rest of us report to her alone. You could join us. It would wonderful to have you alongside of us again." Rex says hopeful.
"I would like that. Where are you?" Valerie asks happily.
"They are outside of the city. Here." I say showing her the spot on her map.
"I will grab my gear and meet them there. Don't bother paying for this stuff. It's my gift to you two. Now get going." Valerie says as Sabine packs her armour, our weapons, and my own clothes.
"Alright we need to get to the hotel." Sabine says smiling.
"Oh right. I forgot." I say pulling the box out.
"What is it?" Sabine asks setting the suitcase down at the door.
"I. Well. This is important to me so don't loose it." I say opening the box and pulling out my mother's ring.
"Ezra are those your parents rings?" Valerie asks surprised.
"Yes." I say taking Sabine's hand and putting the ring on.
"Ezra I can't wear this. It's your mother's." Sabine says shock on her face.
"Yes you can. Just don't lose it." I say putting on my father's ring and staring at it.
Never thought I would get to wear this.
"I promise I won't." Sabine says looking at the ring.
"Your mother had very good taste." Sabine says smiling.
"I thought you would like it. Let's get going." I say smiling before opening the door for Sabine.
"Thank you." Sabine says walking out with her suitcase in hand.
"Your welcome." I say walking out and closing the door.
We quickly make our way to the hotel and we walk into beautiful entrance.
"Wuw." I say looking around at the lavish lobby. "You can say that again." Sabine says smiling.
"Wuw." I say smirking at her.
"You utreekov.*" Sabine says shoving me playfully.
"Haha." I grab her hand and walk up to the front desk.
"Excuse me sir." I say politely.
"How may I help you today?" He asks turning to face us.
"We would like to check into our room." Sabine says smiling.
"What room would that be?" He asks grabbing a data pad.
"Room 517. The honeymoon suite." I say smiling brightly at Sabine.
"Ah young love. It warms my heart. Your names please?" He says smiling brightly.
"Sabine and Ezra Zorah." Sabine says looking at me happily.
"Yes that matches with our records. Here is your room key and please accept our best wishes on your future together." The man says smiling while handing me the card.
"Thank you and we accept happily." Sabine says starting to walk away.
"Oh and please make a note not to disturb us tonight until late morning tomorrow." I say with a wink and follow her.
"Of course." He says laughing a little.
"What was that?" Sabine asks as reach the lift.
"I was making sure that no one looked in on the room to see what we were up to. I.E. Getting some meds from the hospital." I say smirking.
"And you got to imply that we're sleeping together." Sabine says smirking at me.
"Yeah but that was just a bonus." I say smiling.
"You are just ridiculous sometimes you know that right?" Sabine says shaking her head happily.
"C'mon here's our floor." I say as the lift doors open.
We walk out and to the room.
"So what are the traditional Mandalorian weddings like?" I ask out of curiosity.
"They are private affairs mostly. Most often it is done between the two individuals that want to get married and no one else until afterwards." Sabine says as I open up the door.
"Interesting." I say holding it open for her.
"What about Lothalian weddings?" Sabine asks not moving.
"We mostly stick to smaller weddings those who are important to the bride and groom. They say their weddings vows and then off to the honeymoon. One thing I never got was that apparently the groom is supposed to carry the bride over the threshold of the first place they go to do it. How did she phrase it again? Um I think she said that the reason for it was that it signifies the man's willingness to support both the bride and their bond." I say recalling the few that I had seen.
"Well we are on Lothal." Sabine says smiling before tossing the suitcase in and walking in closer to me.
"I-What?" I ask confused.
"C'mon surely you can carry me." Sabine says before jumping up and wrapping her arms around my neck.
I act on instinct and catch her. I readjust my stance and carry her through smiling.
"I'm guessing this isn't typical of Mandalorian weddings?" I ask before setting her on the king sized bed. It's large soft and looks extremely comfortable.
"No but I kinda like it. " Sabine says.
"You are surprisingly strong." She says as a whisper.
"You grow up on the streets you learn that strength and cleverness is a great combination." I say walking over to the suitcase.
I grab it and move it to the bed and open it.
"So we seem to meeting people who intersect a lot lately." Sabine says laying on the bed making herself comfortable.
"Yeah. It's great." I say sarcastically.
"So are you going to tell me about it?" Sabine asks eyes closed.
"They want me dead. I don't want to die. End of story." I say frowning.
"Now that's jehaat.*" Sabine says frowning.
Lately she's been mixing basic and Mandalorian. Guess she likes to talk in it too.
"Fine. I went on a job with one of their members. They didn't come back and I did. They blamed for the death of their member and now they want me dead." I say grabbing my jumpsuit and lightsabre.
"What went wrong?" Sabine asks sitting up.
"Empire." I say simply, knowing that that is all that's needed to say.
"That's terrible." Sabine says swinging her feet off the bed and standing up.
"I'm gonna change. Be right back." I say heading to the bathroom.
"Kay stay in there for a bit I want to change too." Sabine says smiling.
"Nothing I haven't seen before." I say laughing a little till a knife flies past my ear and into the door in front of me.
"Nevermind." I say stiffening up.
"That's what I thought." She says smile evident in her voice.
I go in and change. I fold the clothes up nicely and set them on the counter.
"Am I clear?" I ask opening the door a crack.
"Yes." She says as I hear a few clasps click shut.
I grab my other clothes and set them in the suitcase and then do the same for Sabine's dress.
"Alright grappling gun." Sabine says starting to list our supplies off.
"Check." I say setting the two guns down.
"List of meds needed." Sabine says.
I tap the datapad in my chest. "Check."
"Rex and Echo on stand by."
"Check." I say while checking my comm link.
"And us."
"Check." I say smiling.
"Alright looks like we're ready to go." Sabine says smiling.
"Well we do have a few hours to kill. What do you want to do?" I ask looking around the room.
It's a decent sized room and has a mini bar, breakfast nook, and sitting area. The bed is just off to the side around a wall but not in a separate room.
"Well I can think of a few things we could do." Sabine says mischievous look on her face.
"What did you have in mind." I ask a bit nervous.
"C'mon we're supposed to have a little fun." Sabine says smiling.
She grabs me and pulls me into a kiss. Her lips softly pressing against mine.
She pulls away.
"I guess a little distraction won't hurt anyone." I say giving her a lopsided grin.
"I thought so." She says before kissing me again.

A/N So... sorry about not updating last week. Had some trouble with my other ongoing story. Had to scrap a 10,000 word chapter and start over again. Either way here is the newest chapter. Also once again credit for the raiding a hospital for much needed meds idea goes to DWITD0421. But the hotel and honeymoon suite idea were all mine. So any idea's as to what's going to happen next? Also Can anyone find the two character drops from different universes. Here's a hint. One's from a game and the other's from a cartoon. Leave your guesses in the reviews. And credit for editing goes to Rebel Spectre Six.
