Chok
I slowly walked into the cockpit with my stick in hand, and poked big-butt. "Get out of my seat, big-butt! It time you give it back. You and your germy, huge butt has polluted it. The chair reaks of you."
With that I pushed him out of my seat, and sat down, glad for Captain to finally let me sit down again.
Sora
I slowly walked into the Main Hold with Scout still in my arms, and suddenly felt the ship make the jump to hyperspace. I saw Kossk was on the ship, and managed to see Chok headed toward's the cockpit. Good, they were here. I saw Padme and Nack, and of course the droids were in the Cargo Hold. I knew Naos and Darrina had gotten in, and were somewhere.
I walked towards Padme, and finally just smiled "She's coming back...she's finally coming back...." I said to her

Nait rolled his eyes. “Okay, teddy bear,” he said. “Double check for homing beacons, okay? I don’t want a stormtrooper knocking on my door with an E-11 in my face.”
And then Nait turned around to see Scout. Just looking at her brought anger into his chest. Sora had lay her on a bed in the MedBay next to Mariel, and Nait proceeded to take the rest of her armor off, leaving her just in her black jumpsuit. He dapped a rag into a bacta jar, and got to work.

Sora
The last six hours had been hectic, but at the same time calm. A mixture of the two. The crew had gone about their business, but many of us were constantly watching over Scout as well as Mariel. Erin wouldn't leave Mariel's side....or, as much as her attention span would allow her. Nait had been checking up on both periodically, while Padme tended to them. Naos had been sitting at Scout's side without any rest, and Darrina was at his side. Everyone else was either distracted or knew we could handle it.
I had been examining the Killer, because it had been a month or two since I had used it, but I checked on Scout at least every half hour, and at times even more than that.
Mariel and Scout remained unconsicious, no movement being made. Scout was in a Healing Trance and this was expected, Mariel had major burns from the blaster shot, combined with the massive Force Crush Vader gave her back on Tipoca.
I had sent a message to Selas's ship after I realized that was how he, Fi, and Sanji got off the planet in time. I told them we had Scout, and made it clear that it wasn't Cerasi, and Scout was slowly coming back.
And hopefully, Cerasi was dead.
As I sat in the Main Hold, thinking on all of this, I heard the announcement over the comm that we were dropping out of hyperspace over Aldeeran. At last. I thought, then headed to the cockpit

Nait wanted to stay beside his sister like Naos and Darrina, but he had things that needed to be done. There wasn’t enough room in the med bay for Mereel, so Nait let him have his bed, and had also put him into the Trance to make sure he would pull through. Every few minutes Mereel would stir, turn over, and resume his normal breathing. Trances never worked as well on a non-Force Sensitive, but Nait was trying his best. Even after he checked up on them both, he was checking and double-checking the ship for any homing beacons or signaling devices.
In the main hold, Nait’s attention subtly shifted as he felt the ship slow down and jolt slightly. Making a mental note to remind Sora to get new thrust dampers, Nait crossed over to his quarters and brought Mereel out of the Trance. His arm was almost completely healed, and pink patches of skin could be seen from where the damaged skin cells were repairing themselves. Mereel’s eyes weren’t bright and joking, but dull and hard.
“I owe you one, Jedi,” he said.
Nait nodded slightly. He had lost his modest streak a year ago. He learned that when someone says they owe you, take their offer. Checking up on Scout again, she appeared to be stable enough to bring out of the Trance. As her breathing resumed to normal, Nait watched her eyes start to move beneath her lids. He wished he could help her, but he was exhausted. So he stood there for a while and watched her dream. Of what, he didn’t know…
From the small almost undetectable shift of pressure, Nait deduced that their access codes have been granted, and that they had just entered the atmosphere. He frowned, noticing that Scout’s hand was curled into a fist at her side. Her eyebrow twitched. Nait knew that prolonged exposure to the Healing Trance could prove bad, but he hated to see his sister having nightmares.
Putting a finger on her temple, he pictured the image of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, at dawn. She loved to swim at dawn, when the Room of a Thousand Fountains was cast in both shadow and light. She’d swim all the way to the bottom of the large lake, and come shooting up, propelled by the Force. He used to laugh watching her shoot out of the water like a torpedo, laughing and gasping for breath.
Scout giggled.
Nait allowed himself a small smile, letting her hold on to that image in his head long enough to make it hers, and took his finger away. Sleeping peacefully now, Nait crossed over to Mariel and took her out of the Healing Trance, also. She had fought well against Vader. Hell, she was lucky to survive the beating he had given her. Nait had never experienced a Force Crush. He hoped Mariel would give him the details of what it felt like.
Another subtle shift, this time mimicked by the small movement of the bacta jar. They had touched down in the Royal Palace. He had called ahead to make sure two rooms were prepared for the wounded woman, and the clones. Bail Organa had obliged, though he was devastated by the loss of Kamino. Nait initial suspicions were correct that Bail had wanted another army. He had no idea who Bail had wanted as the template, but as Nait had pointed out, it took ten years to grow clone troopers.
Scout’s eyes flickered open to look Nait, Naos, and Darrina in the eyes. She studied them for a moment, her eyes still drooping with sleep. “Is Anakin returning soon…?” she asked groggily, still dreaming. Her eyes fluttered closed again.
Nait sighed. “Ordo’s going to take Mariel, and I’ll take Scout,” he said. “Darri? Can I talk to Naos alone?” It was a matter of time before Nait had popped the question, and Darrina left the room to check on Mereel. “Padmé?” Padmé nodded, and followed Darrina.
Nait faced Naos, and sighed. “What do you think?” he asked in a low voice. “She’s grown, hasn’t she?” He jerked his thumb towards his sister. “Do you think she’ll remember us?”

Naos
"I...I don't know. Sora said she was confused of which memories were hers, I think she remembers, she just doesn't know who she is. Whether she's Lady Cerasi, a Sith being trained through torture by Vader for years, or Scout Gash, a girl who was once a prostige to be Anakin Skywalker's apprentice in the Jedi Order, but then went on the run from the Empire. I don't know if during these past hours she has recovered deep down in her mind, or if she's worse or the same." I said, staring down at her
I sighed heavily, and finally decided to just confess it to Nait. It was no use to keep it hidden, and I could trust him. "I....wonder what she will think of me. Because the whole thing that initially caused her to crack was when....I....kissed Darrina. I didn't expect it to bring her back, it was weird. I kissed her because I thought this was our last moments to live."

“Then answer me this,” Nait said. “Do you love my sister, or do you love Darrina? Just ask yourself that. And I know Scout will forgive you. I won’t speak for Cerasi, but I know Scout will. You helped her come back, didn’t you? And I can’t ever repay you for that.”

Naos
"Thanks....." I said, and looked down shamefully "I think....Darrina was only a replacement. Its just...I can't bottle up my feelings anymore, so I'm going to come clean now. I forgot all about Darrina when Scout began to come back....it's hard to explain. Darrina helped me so much, but....she's not the one."
But you need to tell her that.
I looked back at Scout and whispered "But....she is...."

Nait had to fight the urge to protect his sister, and merely smiled. “Don’t hurt her,” he said. “You break her heart, I’ll break your legs, got it? She’s gone through enough as it is.”
A long silence passed between them.
“She loves you, too,” Nait explained. “You can see it in her eyes when she looks at you.” He decided to lighten up the mood by placing both hands on Naos’ shoulders and assuming a voice that sounded remotely like an old man. “Just remember, sonnie: she’s a girl, and you’re a boy. She’s got the main idea of where to hit if you piss her off now, you hear me? Now go be a good boy and fetch me my cane, I ain’t getting’ any younger.”
Nait continued to look him straight in the eyes until he started laughing.

"Hyperspace travel ready." the ships computer said.
Selas nodded. "Good. Soon, I'll be finished..."
----------------------
Dxun hadnt looked like it had changed much. But one could only see so much from space.
The ship headed towards the surface.

Naos
I gave out a large laugh. Nait can try to be serious....but I doubt that's possible.
I chuckled again, but looked to Nait and said "If we do end up trying to make it work...I'll be sure to protect her. Don't worry, you know you can trust me...."
