KylePOV

I awake the next morning with a headache. I turn over in bed and see Hera, sitting the bed that's next to mine. Zeb is on the other bed beside her. Just the sight of Hera asleep makes my headache less painful. She opens one eye and peeks at me. I smirk at her. "Good morning, Sleeping Beauty." She blushes hard. I look at the clock. 6:56 am. I jump out of bed. Hera sits up in hers.

"Something wrong, Kyle?"

She's so caring. I see why my brother likes her. "No, nothing's wrong. Get dressed and come with me, please Love?"

Hera hesitates. I see doubt in her eyes, and I will her to say yes. I can't meet my brother without her! She's the hostage.

"Sure." She says, and I sigh, relieved. We get dressed, (in separate rooms) and I go to wake up Zeb.

I poke his furry purple head. It comes up with a growl so quickly that I jump backwards with a "Gagahagahah!" Zeb stares at me. "Y'know, I told Hera that she was wrong about you."

I feel myself trembling. "W-w-what'd she say?" I try to keep my voice calm, but I think he sees right through it because he smirks. "She told me you were 'a bit crazy', but I told her you that you were 'really insane'." My heart drops a little. I don't know why, I don't feel anything for her... right?

Hera walks in, holding a plate of something in her hands. She sits down on the bed, and... looks at me... I get lost in the depths of her eyes. They're  so green...

"Hey Ky?"

"Yeah?" I feel myself from the words, but I don't remember commanding my mouth to do so.

"Can I speak to Zeb, alone?"

She looks at me, green eyes meeting blue. Or green. Probably turquoise. I have no idea what color my eyes are anymore.

"S-sure." I get up and go into the other room. Ugh. I have to stop thinking about her! I peek back into the room. Hera is sitting on the edge of Zeb's bed, comforting him gently.

"I know you miss them, but don't worry. Kyle can be a good man,  he'll let you out eventually. Okay, Zeb?"

To my utter surprise, the furry Lasat burst into tears!  "I miss them! Sabine, Kallus, even the kid, and Chopper!"

"Garazeb Orrelious!"

Zeb jumps. I jump too, for I was not expecting Hera to use his real name.

"Toughen up! Don't lose hope, for we will see all of them again! This is not the end, only a new beginning!"

Poor Zeb. I have experienced one of Hera's lectures/rants before. It's not exactly very... let's say... pleasurable. I run up to them and grab Hera from behind.

"That's enough. C'mon Hera, we should really get going. Zeb, there are some eggs in the fridge over there! The drinks are also in there. Next to the mayonnaise. Make yourself at home! Bye!" Zeb looks at me. Confusion and thankfulness in his eyes. Apparently he has experienced some of her lecture rants.

I turn to Hera. She raises an eyebrow at me. "Okay, what's going on?" I don't know how she guessed something was wrong! It's almost as if she's reading my mind... no. Don't go in there Hera! Not my mind! That place could traumatize an adult man!

"Nothings wrong... but um,... I maybe, kind of, sorta, agreed to meet someone in the Attalon Café at 8 am in the morning..."

"Kyle..." She sighs. "you don't have to say 'am, in the morning.' Am means morning!" I feel my face turn red with embarrassment.

I open my mouth. Then I close it. No use making Hera annoyed. I see her smirk at me. Gawd. I LOVE that expression on her face! It looks so good on her! I slide my hand into hers. She takes it, and strokes my thumb, with her beautiful fingers. I make a purring noise in the back of my throat.

Hand-in-hand, we walk to the Attalon Café, as we sneak inside I see a man talking to... what? That's not right!

HeraPOV

What? Why are they here? Then I remember what Zeb told me. I whisper in Kyle's ear: "Bounty Hunters! They're here for Kanan!" He gives me a startled look.

"What? Why?"

"Because Kanan was accused of kidnapping me, and later, killing the pilots!"

Kyle opens his mouth, then closes it. He nods to someone sitting at the table in the corner. He leads me over there, and as we sit down, the man takes off his hood. My face lights up. Kanan smiles at me. He makes a purring noise in the back of his throat. "Kanan! How are you?" I am smiling so widely at him. He cleans his fingernails with a knife he found in his cloak.

"Good. Pretty good, for life on the run." He smirks at me, his eyes narrow defensively. I look at him, puzzled. "Kanan. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Nothing..."

That's when I realize that Kyle and I are still holding hands. I quickly drop my hand from his.

Kanan must have noticed it too. Because he then points the knife at Kyle's throat. "What have you done to her?"

I honestly cannot say that I am surprised. The last time he and Kyle met... it didn't turn out so well for either of them. Kyle looks shocked. "I wouldn't hurt her!"

Kanan glares at him. "Yeah, that's right. I forgot how much you cared for her." Kyle flashes his award winning grin. Seriously. How does he do it? It's all in the way his face moves: when his eyebrows go up in that goofy way; when his nose goes up just a tiny little bit; and then his eyes, those eyes, the way they widen a little bit, and they always have that sparkle in them. The shine I love so much...

No. I shake my head. Kyle is sweet and cute and all, but he's just not Kanan. I feel Kyle tense beside me. I turn my head, and see someone walking towards us. Kanan pulls his hood back up and I realize that the person walking towards us, is none other than...

"Sato!" I gasp. Sato looks at our table and sees me. Smiling, he sits down.

"Hera! You're back? How are you? What did Kanan do to you?"

I blink at him. "Kanan didn't do anything to me. He's been innocent this whole time!"

"That's right." Kanan takes his hood off and glares at Sato. "Nice little trick you did there. All I will say is that I feel bad for Boba Fett."

SatoPOV

At Kanan's comment, Hera giggles. I notice how this causes the other guy to narrow his eyes. What the? 

"Whom iz thiz uther gi?"

 I wonder why that sounded so weird. What's wrong with my voice? Then, I look down. Some sort of dart is stuck in my leg. I look up at the other guy. His eyes narrow. Then black comes over my vision, and the whole world grows dark. I lose consciousness.
