I’m on Coruscant for the farce that is the Imperial Senate, knowing how precarious my position is as I work secretly with the Rebellion. I’m told that there is a new prisoner, thrown in jail without a trial for treason and dissent, and I can’t help but want to see him with my own eyes. To see if he’s truly figured out the evils of the Empire.

“What’re you thinking?” I ask, not used to being stared at so openly.

[going_solo]

“That I really do want to teach you to fly,” I say, and there’s no pretense in my tone.

[haveyourmoments]

“You do?” I ask, studying him. I’d love to do anything that lets me spend more time with him, but I’d also love to learn to fly.

[going_solo]

“I do,” I say, and I’m not sure what it is about her, beside her obvious beauty.

[haveyourmoments]

“I would love that,” I say sincerely, giving him a smile.

[going_solo]

“Then it’s a plan,” I say, smiling at her, relieved the discomfort from earlier seems to have faded.

[haveyourmoments]

“We’re just going to have to borrow a ship,” I say with a soft laugh.

[going_solo]

“Well, about that…” I say, a little sheepish.

[haveyourmoments]

“What about it?” I ask, curling my legs underneath of me and staring at him.

[going_solo]

“I have a ship, a good ship, it’s just not currently in my possession,” I explain.

[haveyourmoments]

“Whose possession is it in?” I ask, curiously.

[going_solo]

“An old friend, let’s put it that way,” I answer, even more sheepish.

[haveyourmoments]

“Well, we’ll have to get it back then,” I smile, reaching to squeeze his wrist gently.

[going_solo]

“You up for another adventure, huh?” I ask, and I’m smiling.

[haveyourmoments]

“As long as it’s with you,” I say boldly, bravely, looking him in the eyes.

[going_solo]

I want to kiss her so badly, then, but instead I find myself biting my tongue, thinking it's too soon, and locking my eyes on hers. "Then we'll go."

[haveyourmoments]

I hold my breath for a moment, hoping and praying that he’ll kiss me, and for a second I think that he might, but it never happens.

[going_solo]

I squeeze her hand and then help her to her feet, clueless to her expectation, maybe thinking she'd feel the opposite.

[haveyourmoments]

“Where are we going?” I ask but, trying not to sound disappointed.

[going_solo]

“Ah, well, you ever heard of Lando Calrissian?” I ask, and then before she has a chance to answer: “I sort of won a ship from him, and then… well, I wasn’t so lucky the second time.”

[haveyourmoments]

“Not so lucky the second time around, hmm?” I murmur, looking up at him.

[going_solo]

"But I will be the third," I say confidently.

[haveyourmoments]

“You think so?” I say with a gentle smile.

[going_solo]

“I mean, yeah, but I’m not leaving it up to fate this time.”

[haveyourmoments]

“Ohhh, so you have a plan?” I ask.
