8 Chapter 7

the vision breaks. I stumble backwards, screaming. My fight or flight response at its highest.

A week later...

I pack my satchel with the things I need for Tatooine. I check through my bag thoroughly checking for: the two lightsabers, a few portions of rations, a blanket and a flask full of water.

I grab a pen and piece of paper and begin writing. DO pacing behind me. Breaking the silence with his constant squeaky wheel.

I hadn't told anyone I was going to Tatooine. I knew they would just try to stop me. So, in the end, I decided to just leave without saying anything. I leave the note on my cot. Gently placed in a neat little envelope. I debate about saying farewell for what it seems like the hundredth time. But I decide to just way farewell to chewy. I knew he would understand more than anything.

I search for him. DO following behind squeaking. As usual, I find him completing some repairs on the falcon. Luckily he was alone with BB-8 by his side.

"Arrraaawhhhhaaa," he says to me. "I'm going to Tatooine to lay to rest these lightsabers. To honour Luke and Leia". At the mention of Leia's name, he glances at the floor. I could tell he misses her often. I hug him goodbye, not knowing if I would come back.

I commence wandering towards a nearby ship. DO races in front of me in excitement, that he actually has the opportunity to leave the base. I turn around. All of a sudden BB-8 rolls up to my leg. He tilts his head questioning why I was so saddened. I just shrugged not wanting to cry in front of a droid.

BB-8 leaves the question unanswered and continues following me to the cockpit of the ship.

" BB-8 what are you doing?" I question slightly puzzled. " beep boop beeep beeep boop". I roll my eyes' ok fine you can come, just don't make a mess. I jump inside the cockpit. I give a faint smile at the feeling of flying. Nostalgically, I run my fingertips across the controls. Reminiscent of our adventures together as a trio. A tear leaves my eye knowing that they may never happen again. I close my eyes and take a shaky breath and I begin to start up the small ship.

I begin to take off. Still hearing DO's wheel squeak for every move he made. I really need to fix that before it drives me crazy. I note that to do once we land. I enter in the co-ordinates for hyperspace and push the lever.

After what it seems like forever, we finally land on Tatooine. I open the hatch and walk outside. Taking in the scenery. Well, mainly just sand but at least it as something. DO and BB-8 following behind with curiosity, continuing their conversation among themselves.

I breathe a sigh of relief. " I guess this is Tatooine then," I say to both of the droids that mare amazed by the amount of sand.
