"   It was just an accident.   "

                 LAUREL !!! my love, my rock, and the sweetest person !!! Happy Birthday FIRST OFF !! secondly ? I’m so so grateful that we met on tunglr.com --  HONESTLY you’ve been there for me so many times that ? I’ve lost count. You’re one of the easiest people to talk to, and are ALWAYS there for someone. While we met on Alexander you’ve stuck with me through ALL the bullshit, and have continued to plot, and write with my bum. We can laugh about SO much, and I’ve already told you that you’re my sister from another mister ( or however that saying goes !! ) IT’S TRUE though we love musicals, real housewives, and so much more ???? THAT it honestly makes me smile that I’ve connected with someone as much as I have with you. 

                                                         But not anymore.

        Whispers of rebellion had slowly reached them from other worlds. And bit by little bit, Sha’uri’s people had followed suit. It was how she now found herself here at the seat of the Resistance. She had come with few others from her world -- together they had led the fight against the Empire and the First Order back home. Now, they wanted nothing more than to keep fighting -- this time with the rest of the galaxy.

         Stepping out onto the main hangar deck, Sha’uri drew in deep breath of fresh air. This planet even TASTED different than her own, and it still gave her a thrill. She stood for a moment watching the pilots bustle back and forth across the deck, tending to their vessels and shouting jovially to one another. The sight brought a smile to her lips. She took a few steps towards the nearest ship, an x-wing. She wanted to admire it -- she’d never really seen them up close before she came here...

          “Is it as EXCITING to fly as it looks?” she ventured, raising her voice a little so the pilot could hear her above the noise of the deck. 

 the  droid  remains  quiet  for  a  moment,  only  observing  the  man  (  he  doesn’t  seem  to  know  she  is  also  present  in  the  immediate  area  )  as  he  makes  his  rounds  around  her  assigned  t-85 x-wing  for  inspection,  most  likely.  bb-8  finds  herself  wary  of  strangers,  as  her  programming  dictates,  but  she  still  emits  a  series  of  sharp  loud  beeps  to  catch  his  attention  from  where  she’s  sat.

                      ❛     it’s a  NON –– NEGOTIABLE.  i ain’t lettin’ you fly my  ship !     ❜     adamant;  too adamant,  given the bounty he’s bound to lose to his hubris.  he’s going to lose the  fees,  if they turn on him.  (  not that he’s wanting for any units,  as  guardian  of  the  galaxy.  it’s just the price tag he’s had to put on  pride.  )     ❛     if you want the goods,  you’re in the  back  seat.  that’ll be a proper  retrieval.     ❜
