(Sequel to my One-Shot "Daylight")

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

It had been five years since that fateful day. Five years since my whole life had been flipped upside down. The day everything changed, Sidious exposes himself, Anakin Skywalker turned, Order 66... the death of the only woman I'll ever love.

I was packing my bags to flee back to Onderon when I found out she had been killed. There was a live tracker of confirmed Jedi deaths playing on the holo-news and when her name flashed across the screen, my heart stopped.

I still think about that fateful day almost on the daily. Some days I'll see something that reminds me of her, a picture, a favorite food of hers, he clothes which I still keep folded neatly in the drawers, maybe a place we went together, etc. Other days the scene of seeing her name flash across the holo-screen will replay only my mind before I can go to sleep. Either way, most nights I end up crying myself to sleep thinking about her, and all the times we spent together.

It took me months, scratch that, years, to come to terms with the fact that she was dead. While I had come to terms with her death, that didn't mean I was over it. I didn't think I ever would actually be over it. Eventually though I'd probably have to move on, maybe even find someone else, though I'll never love them as much as I loved her. It's what she would want, though a piece of my heart will always belong to her.

First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong and what's
Small turn to a friendship, a friendship
Turn into a bond and that bond will never
Be broken and the love will never get lost

These past five years for me have been pretty rough, from faking my death, to living in constant fear of the Empire, I've stayed pretty busy. I haven't stayed in one spot for more than a year at a time. I always try to choose a planet that hasn't been touched by the Empire yet, but eventually the Empire always comes, forcing me to leave yet another life behind.

I've gone by many names: Ashla, Adira, Audra, Zaya, Satori, and more that I've probably forgotten by now. Everywhere I've gone I've tried to disguise myself as a mechanic, flying under the radar, making few friends so I wouldn't form any attachments. I hated living like that, but it made it easier to leave once the Empire showed up.

Being in the run and living in constant fear of being found out hasn't really given me a lot of time to think. Sometimes I get a few minutes to meditate during the day, but even that can be dangerous. If I go too long, and one of the Emperor's Inquisitors is close enough, they may be able to feel my presence, and then my whole cover is blown.

One thing I have been able to think about a lot, or one person I should say, was my beloved, Luxor Phillip Bonteri, the only man I have, and ever will love. They say it's not the "Jedi way" to form attachments, but screw that. The love I received from Lux was greater than anything the Order could have ever given me. Being framed for the bombing was actually a blessing in disguise. Yea I had to leave my whole life behind, my friends... Anakin, but if I hadn't, I would never have gotten to spend the time I did with Lux. Granted it was only a few months, but they were the greatest months of my life. I would give anything to go back and live them again.

Sometimes I would lay awake at night, and wonder how things could've been different. What if I hadn't faked my own death, and just ran away with Lux? Or if I had faked my death but gone back to Lux anyways? I know it's selfish of me to think that way, that would put Lux in grave danger and I couldn't do that to him.

I know he's probably moved on by now, found someone else, started a family. I would be lying if I said the thought didn't sting, but this is how it has to be. If he's happy with the ode he's living though, then I'm happy. I just hope he doesn't forget about me, because I know I will never forget him.

So let the light guide your way hold every memory
As you go and every road you take will always lead you home

(BOTH)
I've finally decided to join the rebellion. I've stayed in the shadows, on the side, watching the Empire constantly gain strength, taking over countless innocent planets. I'm sick of it and I want to fight again, make a change, challenger their tyranny.

I contacted Bail Organa, an old acquaintance of mine, the other day. I know he's the leader of the Rebel Alliance. He said he's always looking for new recruits and could certainly use someone of my talents. He sounded fairly excited that I would be joining. He didn't tell me what my role would be though, but said it would be important. Maybe I'll be a spy or something like that. I just hope I'm not a pilot, I've heard their death rate is pretty high due in part to the outdated ships they use. Plus I haven't really flown in quite a long time.

No matter my role, I'm ready to stop wallowing in self pity, wondering about what could have been. I'm tired of hiding and running. I'm ready to stand up and make a change. I'm doing it because I know that's what the one I love would do.

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

Sorry if this is meh, I was just laying in bed, listening to this song, and the idea for this one shot hit me. I've been kinda wanting to do a sequel to "Daylight" for a while, and ik a lot of u wanted one, but I just didn't have any ideas until now. So ya, here it is and I hope y'all enjoy!
