Star Wars: Cross Paths

Chapter 15 - Dagobah

As leaving Hoth, Luke decided to set a new course on his X-Wing by flipping some switches on his control board and took the ship into a steep turn, which of course his co-pilot, R2 noticed right away, and started beeping, making the miniature computer installed in Luke's X-Wing for translating the droid's language, flashed the small droid's message onto a control panel viewscreen.

"There's nothing wrong R2" Luke replied once he read the translation in it "I'm just setting a new course"

The beeped started again and Luke read again what he was saying

"No, we're not going to regroup with the others" he replied. "We're going to the Dagobah System"

R2 beeped again, worried if there was enough fuel in the X-Wing. Luke read it again:

"Yes, R2" he sighed "And don't worry they don't need us there"

R2 was silent for a while and then started beeping again, making Luke read the translation where he read the little droid's concerned about Leia's order

"I'm countermanding that order! Now, be still okay"

The R2 stayed silence for a while, but he knew that he had things to say and when Luke was making adjustments, R2 beeped again

"Yes R2" Luke rolled his eyes "yes, I know Dagobah system doesn't appear on any of our navigational charts. But don't worry. It is there, trust me" he replied.

After a few minutes R2 started to beep again and Luke read at the translation computer and giggles

"No, I don't have any headaches. Or dizziness, or drowsiness. Even the scars are gone. I feel fine. Why?"

R2 beeped and as Luke read it he smiled.

"She said that? That she wants you to look out for me?" he said as he read the droid message telling him that Ines asked him to take care of him.

R2 beeped again

"A message? What message?" he asked

The message came into the translation computer: "Take care of you. Train as much as you can and come back to my arms because I already miss you very much. I'm yours forever. Ines"

Luke smiled, at that message. He already miss her too and miss her lips and her body around his arms.

R2 beeped and Luke read it smiling

"Yes R2, Ines and I are together"

The droid beeping excitedly and made Luke smiled when he read what he told

"I hope so, R2. We need to talk about it when I get back. It is still to soon, but I don't mind to have her as my wife in the future"

After a while the droid beeped again.

"It's alright. I'll like to keep it on manual control for a while" and he head to Dagobah System, but at the same time he was hoping the love of his life was okay as well. Han, take care of my Ines, please. He thought.

*********************************

Ines was in that time inside the Millennium Falcon, with Han, Leia, Chewbacca and the protocol droid 3PO and right now she really wish she was with Luke heading to Dagobah, at least I'm sure I would be way better she thought.

At that very moment, they were being chasing by Tie- Fighters and a Star Destroyer, making the ship shake with the blasters.

Chewie growled, which made Ines worried.
