I fell onto my hands in front of the body on the ground, and scrambled to my feet as quickly as I could. The room was quickly illuminated in light when the person I had tripped over awoke. She too quickly got to her feet, and when I saw her face, my head did quick rotation of my memories to find a name to accompany the face. She raised her eyebrow at me and extended her arm.

"Are you alright?" She lent forward as she gripped my elbow shuffling me toward the bed. It was a strange thing. It had nothing supporting it except the wall, and as she lowered me onto the bed, I managed to find the words I had been meaning to ask.

"Who are you?" I asked as my eyes wandered around the room. Had I been abducted? And who the hell was I with? My answers came in the form of a man wearing an orange jacket and a soft smile in his face. I looked towards the woman, and before she could answer, I knew who she was before she did. Revan. She didn't look like much of a world destroyer, but I guess she fooled everyone anyway, including herself.

"I'm Skye. Skye Tarusa, and this is Carth Onasi" she said as she turned around and beckoned him towards us. I smiled up at him, even though I was still thoroughly confused, it was still pretty awesome getting to meet these people in.. real life. Even if this wasn't real.

"I'm sorry, but how did I get here?" I asked, I could feel my brow furrowing as I looked at both their faces. Hopefully, they might finally have some answers for me.

"Well, we found you, unconscious outside this apartment" Carth said, finally saying something, he was, surprisingly not as hostile as I had expected. I guessed it was because I looked a kid, I'm only sixteen after all. "What's your name?" Carth asked as he looked me up and down, I too looked at myself, and noticed I was wearing a shirt, jeans and my combat boots, along with a pendant hanging around my neck, one my grandfather had given me.

"I'm Astra, Astra Evans, are there any of my belongings in here?" Neither of them said anything, confirming my thoughts that I was currently without any belongings.

They must have noticed the concern in my eyes when my face fell, because Revan placed her hand on my knee and smiled warmly at me.

"Kid, we were wondering if you could help us" she said suddenly. I looked up, my eyebrow raised at the pair. I looked at both of their faces before answering.

"What do you mean?" I said. My head was swimming. Maybe this was my opportunity to get in good with them and secure myself a ticket off Taris, after all, the planet was going to blow up pretty soon, and I'd rather not die in a world that's not my own.

"Well we're new to Taris, and we were hoping for some, tour guide help, I guess" Revan said. This was literally the easiest opportunity ever. I'd say yes, get on their good side by helping them because I'm pretty much a life cheat for them, and then I'd be able to travel with them when they left for Dantooine.

I nodded. "Okay, but consider yourselves lucky, you've got yourself a damned good tour guide"

Taris was amazing outside, the skyscrapers made the ones back home look like houses for ants, and not to mention the people. Although, I had been taken quite aback the first time I had come into contact with a Duros. He'd given me a funny look and muttered something that I could only presume was an insult.

Carth and Revan had taken me to get me some clothes, and armour. I was immensely excited, but the really compelling thing was, when we reached a vendor, the Ithorian who owned the store spoke a language I actually understood. Not Galatic Basic, but Ithorian. I understood every word he spoke, and he wasn't the only alien, every other species I had come across I could understand. Something inside me stirred the more I thought about how this was possible.

Maybe it has something to do with why all my sense were so enhanced earlier.

We eventually ended up purchasing me a nice leather jacket that was apparently bullet proof. A few shirts, and some tights that had inbuilt fibre mesh, a substance that acted like durasteel, but was much lighter. When it came to paying for it, I frantically looked through the back that had been in my room, and was astonished to find a heap of equivalently fifty thousand credits, but they weren't even weighing my bag down. The only explanation I had for it was that I had cheated for money when I had played the game, and thank god I did, other wise I would currently be broke. However, I did get a suspicious look from Carth when he noticed my stack of money, and all I could give him in return was a sheepish smile as I went off to change into my new clothes.

They had also gotten me a blaster and a Vibroblade, I'd shot a gun before, but never a blaster (obviously) and I wasn't entirely sure what to do with the blade.

Once I was changed, it was finally down to business. I walked out into the sunliglt street and was witness to one of Revan and Carth's arguments. Ahh, it was that one about him being a sexist worm. Revan pushed her finger into his chest and pushed Carth back, whilst he was grinning at her, I came over when they finished their discussion.

"Okay, well, first off, since you'll be needing to get into the Under City, you're going to either get a Sith Uniform, or authorization papers, and trust me, the uniforms are the easier option" I said, breaking the awkward tension between these two. They had told me everything back in the apartmint, because I had pretended that I had guessed they we're Republic soldiers, and now, we needed to get into the Under City.

"You sound like you know the place to get them" Revan said with the hint of a smile. I grinned back at her.

"Well, sort of. I know where we can, but I can't guarantee we will get one" I said as my hands made their way towards my pendant. I fiddled with it in my hand, expectantly waiting for a reply from Carth and Revan, they looked at each other before Carth replied.

"I guess it's worth a shot"

The cantina was filled with a hazy aroma, slow music, paazak players, and lots and lots of drunks. Carth had to pull me along when I became mesmerized by a quick game of paazak, and the players were giving me dangerous looks. I gave him one of my legendary 'sheepish' looks, before scanning my eyes for Sith soldiers dressed as Civvies. I remember that there were two options, the girl who wanted a promotion or something like that, and that obnoxious guy. Unfortunately, he found me first. His name was Yun as I later found out once he had swaggered his way towards me.

Revan and Carth had gone their own way earlier, and I had no idea where they were (they might even be in the dueling ring), which meant I was alone, and I would have to be the one to get the party invitation. I had initially thought every thing would be down to Revan, but.. apparently not.

I was only half listening to Yun blabber on about his Sith life when finally he bought up the subject of the party, I hastily agreed, before jumping up, and having to restrain myself from sprinting away from the guy. The layout of the cantina had me confused a little, and I found myself walking in circles in search of Revan and Carth. I was peering into the Dueling Ring area when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I let out a short gasp before spinning around to see Revan smiling at me.

"Oh Revan! You scared me!" I said before my hands flew to my lips. Shit. I had to stop calling her that in my head, she didn't know that yet. But, thankfully, I think she took it as my way of cussing, and I let out a relieved sigh.

"I've found a way to get those uniforms for you" I said once my heart rate had fallen, and Carth was now in range. He gave me an odd look, probably thinking this was too convenient, but I didn't care, all I needed was to get my job done.

"So what does it involve?" He asked, his previous concern no longer visible. I smiled at them both.

"Well, we're goin' partying"

Thanks for reading! Please leave a review if you want to say anything about the story :) This chapter wasn't as long as I had hoped it would have been, but I think it was finished at a good place. I will be trying to make the chapters longer.
