Scout quirked a smile. “Good point,” she said wryly. “If Saint Naos can actually overcome his feelings of self-preservation, I guess I can try, too.”
“So…” she said, looking around. “I guess I better say some emotional thing, too, or else you win.” She made a face at him, stuck out her tongue, and grinned. She looked down at the grass, twirling a clump with her finger. Her smile slowly disappeared, replaced by a frown. “First thing’s first,” she said. She looked up and lunged towards Naos, catching him full on the lips, wrapping her arms around his back, running a hand through his sandy hair.

Naos
I started to laugh but stopped when she kissed me, and began to re-live that time on Lok....and I knew my Scout was returning......
Oh Force....she's got me as to where I can't get a way! I'm stuck in lips-lock! I suddenly realized, and could merely stare right back at her as I gave into the kiss
"Uh, Scout...." I said with a slight gulp as I tried to escape from it but ended up being pulled back in, but then tried to pull back "We need to get somewhere more private....I don't want one of Bail's guests to see two Jedi in this position in the garden...."

“Oh yeah,” Scout muttered, pulling back. She laughed dryly. “I forgot: we’re fugitives. If anyone finds us, they’ll be on us like that.” She snapped her fingers and grinned, though it soon followed into a grimace. “I’ll understand if you don’t feel the same way,” she added swiftly. “Um, it’s just…” She ran a hand through her hair. “Even though I haven’t seen you in two years, I still like you. A lot.”
She winced, realizing how girly that sounded. She waited for the mocking laughter, braced herself for the heartbreak to come…

Naos
"Don't turn into Erin," I said with a smirk as I stood and pulled her up "But I....nevermind, lets discuss it somewhere else...."
I looked around slowly, and then spotted a small garden house. Looked empty, and I couldn't detect anyone inside. "Come on." I said to her with a grin and pulled her off towards the garden house
I tugged on her hurriedly, making sure no one was around. I pulled the door open, and then we both went inside. I slowly closed it and locked it, then set down on a small pad and motioned for her to sit across from me.
"Okay, Scout....about what just happened: I...." I said and shivered as I was prepared to tell her what I had wanted to for many many years "I feel the same....Scout.....you.......mean....more....than anything in the universe to me......."
I tried not to look away, staring right at her.

Scout couldn’t look him in the eye.
“Thank you,” she said. “But…” Reflexivly pulling her hair behind her eyes, she stared at the ground. “Remember what I said ‘first thing’s first?’ There’s a second part.”
She cleared her throat. “I like you more than anything, Naos,” she said. She looking into his eyes. “And that’s why I have to let you go.”

Naos
My heart nearly hit my throat. I gave a frown, and looked down to the floor. "It's not like I expected us to be together, especially back in the Jedi....I was never able to confront my feelings, but...I never considered what would happen if I did........but I th-" I started to say but stopped as my reasonable part of me came into play
It can't happen. You two are fighting the Empire, and have to put all your effort into it. You are attached to the Order...no matter how much you want to, you can't endanger each other by being together. It could kill you both.....
"No...." I whispered as a tear went down my cheek for the second time tonight
I slowly lifted my head up, and tried to look at her "You're right...." I admitted quietly, part of me hoped she wouldn't hear, but I know she did

“If it’s the only way I can protect you and the others, I will,” Scout said harshly, leaning foreword. She brought up her hand and lifted up his jaw. She swallowed, and almost looked away again.
I won’t break. I’m not going to cry again tonight. I have to be strong…
“I don’t want to hurt you any more than I have to.”

Naos
I knew she was right. I was trying to deny it, as I usually did with situations like this, but not one had been like this.
But I had to accept it....for her sake, my sake, everyone's sake....
I let myself have a huge gulp, and then slowly put my hands on her shoulder "It's another thing we agree on.....we....we...can't have a relationship....I know.....you can't hurt me anymore than I already am....but it wasn't you....I want to understand....and I can......"
I almost regretted telling her, but my mind wouldn't let me do it anymore. I wouldn't let myself back-track from how far I had evolved from the closed up, stubborn Jedi.
"But we don't have to seclude ourselves from each other....we can still be freinds....I know we can, Scout. If we try." I said as I blinked, and looked around me, but forced myself to look back at her
It will be hard. I am not sure if I will be able to look at her the same....but I have to try. And if I try....I....can do it. I confessed to myself, and felt I was actually surviving a huge situation like this for the first time in a long time ,if ever
"Scout....just give me one last thing....please....kiss me....one last time....for old times sake, and to finally finish this....." I whispered, leaning my face right into her's and staring directly into her eyes

Scout nodded solemnly. “And this doesn’t mean our relationship has changed,” she said, smiling through unshed tears. “I mean, it has… But maybe when we’re older, okay? And Vader isn’t trying to strangle the life out of us.” She grinned half-heartidly.
She moved foreword and leaned her head on his shoulder for a moment before turning her neck to peck his cheek. His neck turned to meet her, and their lips touched.
One last time…

Twelve Years Later. Location: Mon Calamari ship Liberty..
Everyone was running around frantically. Many stood in the communications center, and the man called Sora Trok was staring down at what the Rebel Alliance had just recieved.
A transmission had come five minutes ago, from an unknown vessel simply called Blue Fire. Mon Mothma, General Rieken, Captain Sora Trok, and his crew had gathered to investigate the transmission.
"What do you suggest we do?" Rieken asked, looking from Mon Mothma to Trok
"It looks truthful enough, the vessel it came from isn't Imperial......" Sora said, not looking at anyone, and just at the wall, his hands pressed down on a console "But I'm unsure."
"It could be a trick," Rieken insisted "The fact that we suddenly get a message from some mysterious ship saying they have the Death Star plans is not something that usually happens."
"I know that, but I have been working frantically to find out everything I can about the transmission. I can't trace the ship's location...but it is definately not of the Empire." Sora told the General, finally turning around "We may have to risk it."
"It is a chance we must take. We can't pass this oppurtunity by...." Mon Mothma told the two
Sora slowly nodded, and Rieken gave a sigh. "Sir, we have something!" one of the officers suddenly yelled "That ship has transmitted something to us...."
All three leaders looked to the officer, and Rieken walked over to the large console where the officer can't. "It can't be....by the Force, it is the plans themselves!" he exclaimed
Mothma looked at Sora, and Sora gave an order to the officer, the first thing that came to mind "Princess Leia Organa is on a mission for Bail Organa....one that is of great importance. Transmit them to the Tantive IV, quickly!"
Imperials were already in the system they were in, they couldn't risk going to Yavin themselves. They were on another lead right now, until this came along. They couldn't leave now, because the Empire had most likely detected them.
"You can't be serious!" Rieken yelled
"I am, General." Sora said firmly
Three people Sora knew very well were on that ship, he knew they would get the plans to Yavin IV safely....
