Monica stood up with Darrick, and smiled brightly. "You're a fan too? Sweet!"

 

Then she answered his question. "Well... I've been keeping it to myself, because some of the kids at our school kept teasing me about him, saying that I'm 'Luke Skywalker's wife', and all."

 

She shrugged, and grinned. "I think he's cute too." Her cheeks turned red.

"Don't make me barf." Rueben said, teasingly. "I'd like to know how you know who he is and what he looks like though... uhhh... oh wait... I remember... there was another person from Earth who came to our galaxy... what was his name? Oh yeah... I think it was George Lucas? Hmmmm... is that right... yes... I believe so... wait... did he make a holovid of our... galaxy?"

 

Rueben looked out into the speeding by stars... then turned around and got a deck of cards.

 

"Anyone up for a game of Pazzak?" He asked, grinning. "I must warn you however... I'm really good."

Kala heard Darrick's question. "I will." She got up, and went over to the cockpit. Sitting down, she focused on flying the ship.

 

Monica blushed when Darrick said she was cute. It's been so long that they felt something for each other.

 

The young girl sat by Darrick's side. "So that's how Star Wars was made. George Lucas wanted other people in our Galaxy to see that we weren't alone in the Universe!" She sighed, smiling. "Man... that guy's a genius."

 

She turned to Darrick. "Darrick? Were you... shy to tell me?"

"A hero to you maybe... but now he's a villian to us. We told him not to tell." Rueben said... rolling his eyes. "I told him myself. But it's not neccessary to do that... it's on auto pilot... I wouldn't be stupid enough to do that... don't take it off of auto pilot though..."

 

Rueben sat down.

 

"It's pretty simple... you have this deck." Rueben said, handing him a deck of bluish green cards. "I have a similar deck and also since I'm dealer, I have a deck of yellow cards. You tell me when to stop flipping over cards... all you have to do is get as close to 21 as possible without going over... which is what those blue cards are for... the one's with negative numbers subtract numbers... and the one's with positive numbers add numbers."

Darrick looked at Monica and then to Rueben. "Uhhh.....yeah I was. But it just kinda came out."

 

"It's pretty simple... you have this deck." Rueben said, handing him a deck of bluish green cards. "I have a similar deck and also since I'm dealer, I have a deck of yellow cards. You tell me when to stop flipping over cards... all you have to do is get as close to 21 as possible without going over... which is what those blue cards are for... the one's with negative numbers subtract numbers... and the one's with positive numbers add numbers."

 

He then looked back at Rueben, "Sounds easy enough. Let's do it."

Hearing that the ship was on auto pilot, Kala came back with the others.

 

"Okay, okay, Shan. I'll leave the ship alone... for now." She grinned. "All right! Let's see what you can do, Darrick! I must agree with Rueben though... he is good at this."

 

Monica sat by Darrick's side at the other side of the table. "He'll take his chances." She smiled at Darrick.

 

Kala returned the grin as she sat with Rueben. "Bring it on."

Kala grinned, and glanced at Rueben. She was really excited to see him play Pazzak again. It's been quite some time.

 

Monica shrugged, and looked over at Rueben's side. "I don't know. Do you, Rueben?"

 

Although Monica never played cards, she really wanted to pay attention to this kind of game. It looked like real fun.

"Doesn't really matter, this is just a friendly game, but in a real game... you wouldn't want to." Rueben said, flipping over a 5 for Derick and a 3 for himself. "Like right here, I'm going to play a +7 card, once you decided to play it, then you show it to everyone to add to your score. Like I've got a 10 now... and you've got a 5, if you were to play a +5 then we would be even... but if you were to play a -5 then you would be back at 0. But I think you can do math..."

 

Rueben looked up at Monica and noticed she was paying TOO close attention... he smiled and said playfully, "Now don't you go getting yourself into trouble with gambling... I have a friend in the Galactic Senate who did that, and he nearly lost everything."

Monica shook her head, and looked up at Rueben. The she smiled sheepishly.

 

"Oh. Okay! I understand that gamble's bad for ya. We have it in our world. Lots of casinos and all."

 

She blushed. "Although, we never been to one. Only saw them on... how you call it in your Galaxy... holovids."

 

Monica giggled. "But I think I understand the game now. Proceed." She rested her head on the back of her seat.

Monica smiled. When Darrick and her first met, it was wonderful. She began to Force bond Darrick back.

 

"It all started when we were little kids. I was running from one side of the sidewalk, and you ran from the other. When we were rushing to get to our house ... Bang! We collided, and fell on the ground together."

 

She sighed. "You looked at me, and said, 'Oh man! I'm sorry! Let me help you up.' When you helped me up, I glanced at your eyes. I knew that I found a new friend to count on."

 

Monica smiled, and looked at Darrick. "That's how we got to know each other... and trust one another." The memory of her and Darrick meeting for the first time made her feel better inside.

Rueben smiled. "No of course not... but I'll be right back, I can feel something dark drawing closer... I think we are near Korriban."

 

Rueben grimaced as he stood up and went to the cockpit. Rueben looked out the window and gasped, they had completely overshot Korriban... they were on their way to the remains of Malachor V. The ship instantly haulted after Rueben took it off of auto-pilot.

Kala ran by Rueben's side, and held on to his shoulder. "Do you think my brother came here?"

 

The thought of her brother made Kala feel frightened inside. Although he was a Sith, she loved Vashneer aka Ulic with all her heart. And she'd do anything to save him.

 

Monica ran by Rueben's other side. "Oooh. Creepy." The looks of Malachor V sent chills through her spines.

"Malachor V." Rueben whispered. "Or what's left of it. The Jedi Exile... Jan Seyor... destroyed the planet when she killed her master, Kreia... aka Darth Traya. Well she didn't necessarily destroy the planet, Darth Traya's darkened corpse did that, by making the core explode... the Jedi Exile was rescued by her companions on the Ebon Hawk and her soon to be husband, Atton Rand."

 

Rueben looked directly at Kala.

 

"No... I do not believe you're brother has come here... look at Malachor V... it's floating off in 7 different directions... where would he be at?" Rueben asked. "He'd go to a place where it would be obvious to find him. Korriban."

 

Rueben turned the ship around and sped off, heading back to the Outer Rim. Korriban was the third planet in from where they were.

"Wait a minute!" Monica gasped. "If... 'what's-his-name' is at Korriban, and Luke's on Korriban..."

 

She panicked. "Oh no! What if Luke gets hurt by that jerk?!" She turned to Kala. "No offense."

 

Kala shrugged. "It's all right." Then she smiled. "I'm sure Luke's gonna be fine." She closed her eyes, sensing for Luke's presence. Kala opened her eyes again.

 

"I sense that Mara, his wife, is there too." She scratched her head. "Wonder what Ben's doing? Oh, Ben Skywalker is their son."

"Now look what you did... you know we don't talk about Ben anymore... not since he left the Order." Rueben said, sighing at Kala.

 

Rueben looked at Darrick and Monica...

 

"What you're not gonna ask me about Malachor V? And here I expected 20 questions." Rueben laughed. "You seem to be curious about everything else... Like Ben."

 

Rueben glared at Kala...

 

Thanks a lot, now I'm gonna have to explain a lot to Luke... Rueben said, through the Force bond that linked him and Kala together. You know that they shouldn't know about Ben... that's the reason why the Order is down so many numbers.

Kala rolled her eyes, and smiled at Rueben. "Shan... it's okay! We can trust them. I know that Ben left the Order... but I have a feeling that we can't keep secrets from Monica and Darrick."

 

She raised an eyebrow. "Especially Monica. I mean... she is the Chosen One to save our Galaxy, right? Her and the golden star locket."

 

After that, Kala looked down, ashamed. "Sorry, Rueben."

 

"We're sorry, too. For asking so many questions." Monica rubbed her head sheepishly.
