       The crew sat, the new Death Star in sight, bickering with Luke.

       "I'm endangering the mission, I shouldn't have come."

       "You say that every time, Luke."

       "Yeah kid, have a little faith."

       "This was a bad idea, I knew I shouldn't-"

       "Luke I swear to everything you believe in, I'm going to gut you if you don't shut the hell up."

       Luke and Greyson stared at each other intensely. Luke gave up after a few moments slumping slightly in his seat. Greyson faced forward once more and crossed her arms in front of her chest. 

       "Shuttle Tydirium," Everyone leaned in. "Shield deactivation will commence immediately. Follow your present course." 

       "See, I told you everything would be fine." Han said proudly. 

       "I wouldn't hold your breath, Han." Greyson said quietly. 

       Endor was really green. Like, really green. Soemthing that Greyson enjoyed and apprecaited, seeing as it wasn't something she'd seen often. The crew troped through the woods, keeping low to the ground. Any chance he got, Luke would slip his hand into Greyson's, squeezing her hand three times. It was reassuring, Greyson liked knowing Luke was still there. 

       "Stormtroopers." Han said quietly.

       "Can we go around them?" Leia asked.

       "Yeah, but it'll take time." Luke answered.

       "Besides if even one person gets seen, this whole thing will have for nothing." Greyson added. 

       Han looked at Greyson. "Come on, we'll takw care of this," He turned to Luke and Leia, "You stay here."

       "Quietly!" Luke gave Han a look.

       "Hey, it's me." 

       "Wow, you're resilient!" Greyson huffed as she threw the storm trooper she and Han had been fighting with for several standard minutes over her shoulder. He hit the ground hard but was up within seconds. She latched onto his arm and flung him into the tree next to them. While he was on the ground, Greyson pulled the blaster off of her hip and shot him in the back. Letting out a sigh of relief she slid to the ground. 

       "Sir, someone is coming!" C3PO said. The group ducked behind trees as footsteps approached. Greyson peeked out from behind the tree.

       "Luke!" 

       The group emerged from their hiding spots as Luke joined the group. Han was the first to speak. 

       "Where's Leia?" 

       "She's not here?" Luke asked.

       "I thought she was with you?" Han said in an almost threatening tone.

       "She was-"

       "You lost her?" Greyson asked in disbelief.

       "We got seperated!" Luke snapped.

       "Good fucking job."

       "Hey, hey! Fighting isn't gonna do us any good. Let's go find her." Han stepped between the two. 

       "I think now would be a great time to mention, I get motion sickness." Greyson declared as the small group spun around in a giant net. 

       "Oh yeah, great timing." Luke said sarcasticly as he despreately tried to reach his lightsaber.

       Greyson moved her foot and kicked Luke in the side.

       "Ow! What the hell?"

       The group suddenly dropped out of the hole R2 cut and onto the ground. A group of Ewokes emerged from their hiding placings among the greenery. One of them pointed it's spear at Han.

       "Hey point that thing somehwere else!" Han grabbed the spear and pushed it away. The Ewok pointed it right back at him. Han pulled his blaster out.

       "Han don't, it'll be alright." Luke said. Han left his blaster in the air and an Ewok took it out of his hand. "Chewie, give thme your crossbow." He advised the the Wookie who was fighting with one of the furry creatures. 

       C3PO popped up and the Ewoks began to gather aound him, chanting. The three humans looked between each other, confused. The droid began repsonding to them.

       "You understand what they're saying?" Luke asked.

       "Oh yes Master Luke, rememebr I am fluent in over six million forms-"

       "You won't let us forget, now what are you telling them?" Greyson interrupted. 

       "Hello, I think."

       "You think?" Greyson leaned forward.

       "I could be mistaken Miss Greyson, they're using a very primitive dialect. But I do belive they think I'm some sort of God."

       Greyson looked to Luke who simple shrugged and surpressed a smile. 

       "Well why don't you use your divine influence to get us the hell out of here?" Han suggested. 

       "I beg your pargon, General Solo, but that just wouldn't be proper."

       "Proper?"

       "Well sir, it's against my programming to impersonate a deity."

       Greyson looked up at Luke who was laughing into his hand. "Stop laughing, it's not funny." She whispered, despite smiling herself.

       "It is too funny." Luke replied quietly, leaning down. 

       "Is not." Greyson smack Luke in the thigh.

       The two stopped laughing and grabbed a hold of Han who had lunged at the gold robot. The group of Ewokes pointed their spears back at Han, much closer this time. 

       Greyson leaned over to Han and quietly whispered, "You're only gonna make things worse Han."

       Han put his hands up in surrender. "My mistake." He declared. "He's an old friend of mine."

       This didn't do the group any favors.
