Two boys about sixteen years old walked across a large sand dune on the planet of Tattooine. Uba and his friend Jona walked carefully trying not to slip down. The dune was very high and the winds were making it near impossible to see. A sand storm was brewing. After a few minutes sudden gusts caused the sand to emerge around the two youths.
"We need to find shelter!" Uba cried as the storm of golden sand grew stronger, to the extent that the small boy had to cover his face to see and communicate.
Jona shouted in agreement before the two of them aimed their squinting eyes at the areas around them, to look for shelter or something to use to hide.
"Over there!" Jona pointed towards a dark spot on the distance, which looked like a building or some kind of vehicle. Most likely abandoned. It wasn't uncommon for people to leave broken or useless scrap or vehicles in barren parts.
But as the boys nearer closer they saw that it was an x-wing- and a perfectly fine one, at least from the outside.
The winds picked up as they got near it, and the two boys ducked under the wing to protect themselves from the wind.
"What do you think it's just doing out here?" Uba questioned his closest friend. He stood up after the last remnants of the storm died down.
"Probably was dumped here by someone." Jona replied dusting off the sand that covered him during the storm.
"But it looks completely fine. Maybe someone's in it..."
The two boys looked at each over for a second before rushing out from beneath the wing and trying to see if they could see a person.
"I think I see a helmet!" Uba nearly screamed.
"Let's go home and see if we can find a ladder."
Jona dragged the ladder out from behind him. "Are you gonna help?"
"Nope." Ube said from in front of him. They had been walking for about an hour.
"And why not? I spotted the x-wing. I'm the reason why you didn't eat sand earlier." Jona argued.
"Because I have to stay up front and direct us to it."
"It's not gonna be that hard to see it considering it's a big, shiny republican battleship." Jona said, annoyance in his tone.
"I see it!"
"Good for you."
Attempting to place the ladder against the ship was quite scary, it was kinda high up and the bottom of this sand dune wasn't the most sturdy surface for a ladder. Nevertheless Uba was forced to climb up.
"What can you see?" Jona asked, holding the ladder secure for his friend.
"There's a-there's a girl."
There was in fact a girl. The boys were instantly amazed because of the bright x-wing uniform she was wearing, they'd never seen a pilot up close. However she wasn't wearing a helmet it must have came off in the collision. At least they assumed it was from a collision or accident because she had dried blood on her lip and she was frowning in her unconscious state. Also, she was very beautiful, Uba noted. A pink blush crossed his cheeks.
"I think there was an accident." Uba nearly whispered said down towards his friend. "I think she's apart of the resistance."
"One of the rebel's?" Jona nearly shrieked. "This isn't good. If anyone from the first order-"
"I haven't seen a trooper in weeks. I doubt they are looking for her here. Besides, she needs help." Uba looked to see if he could open the glass entrance.
However what he didn't notice was the young woman awakening, as she opened her deep brown eyes at him, he shrieked falling off the ladder straight onto his back beside his friend, winding himself. Luckily the sand softened his fall.
"Are you okay?!" Jona helped him up.
"She's awake."
The glass x-wing opened and the girl looked down at the boys. The moment felt very tense.
She groaned as she lifted her leg over the side and slowly walked down the ladder, the two boys scurried back in fear.
She turned around and looked at them.
"Where am I?" She asked, voice filled with gentle authority.
"Tattooine." Jona spoke.
"May I ask who you are?" Uba asked, trying to sound as important and as authoritative as she did. But the small teenager stuttered.
"I'm Princess Gaia of Doaga." She said wearily, looking around her surroundings.
"Dough-guh?" Jona whispered.
"Dough-uh-gah." Uba corrected him. "It's a planet by Xorth."
The two boys stared at the woman in front of them.
"I made it." She said under her breath.
"What brings you to Tattooine?" Uba asked stepping forward. "-Your highness."
"I'm meeting someone. I bumped into some dessert troopers on my way, managed to take care of them."
The boys noticed the blaster and shuddered at What this woman could do to them. However the woman saw that the naive and curious boys weren't a threat.
"I'm looking for the Mos Eisley Cantina." She quickly took off the orange x-wing suit and the boys noticed that she was wearing clothes underneath. A tight white shirt and matching pants with a pair of boots.
The two boys pointed in the direction. "About twenty miles that way."
