(okay we'll say earlier he said yes.)

Jade noticed her father was busy thinking. She looked back then pressed her comlink. "How are you and Chewie doing back there?" She asked Viree13.

Luke had said she could come but since the X-wing was to small Viree13 was following in her own ship.

Luke heard words inside his head belonging to Master Yoda.

Adventure heh
Excitement heh
A Jedi craved not these things.

But Jade had been eargerly wanting to come. After she pulled off her stunt that he always said yes to she was able to come along. But only if Artoo watched out for her. Jade reluctantly agreed to these terms.

Viree13 smirks, then answers over the com. "We're just fine, ain't we Chewie?..." Chewie grins and lets out a loud, ululating cry that echoes around the ship and through the comlink. She laughs. "Y'catch that?.... So, where we goin' first?... Gather info or get straight to the basics?..." Viree13 grins, her fanglike canine teeth showing ever so slightly.

"Well Dad's in charge of the basics." Jade said.

She turned around to see Luke medatating.

"But right now he's won't answer me even if I tried so I'll tell you. We're going to one of the Emperor ships to rescue some Lady being held there." She looked at the moniter. "We should come up on the cordinates soon."

She felt the ship lurch and looked out noticing a tractor beam pulling them in. R2 beeped franticly.

"Very soon." She said with a gasp. "Infact we just got pulled in by it's tractor beam.

Luke had come out his meditation.

"What can we do dad?" She asked franticly.

Thw woman looked out into space. Another guard came in, stepped over the first. "We have them in the dock. My lady." "Them?" She asked. "Yes, apparently there are two on board." "Make sure Skywalker makes it here. Do not harm the other one. They must stay aboard the ship." The man nodded, and left. Now it was only a matter of time.

Viree13 snarls as the beam starts to pull her in too. "Botheration!!!!" She decides to go with it, but is angry that she can't get out of it. "Well, this is not what I had hoped for...." Viree13 sighs and turns on the comlink again. "Who in the galaxy is this 'Lady' person and how do we know she's not on the Dark Side?...." Her voice carries scorn as she scowls.

~The Mercenary A-U Gentlewoman~

"We don't know Viree13." Luke said calmly. "But I feel we need to check this out." He said on the comlink.

Jade nodded but her concern was the ship it's self. "We're nearing the ship." Jade annouced both to her dad and her friend.

R2 beeped upsettingly. He had tried to disamble the tracking beam but it had a had huge code protecting it from harm. He had never computed with this kind of situation.

"Steady R2." Said Luke. "We'll get to the bottom of this."

Jade nodded. "Yeah R2 their's no need to mess up your circuits worrying about this." She patted the top of his dome cylinder.

He calmed down a little. They neared the cargo bay.

"Be prepared Viree13." Said Luke then her turned to his daughter. "You too."

"Dad." Jade said feeling insulted. "I am a big girl now. I'll be fine."

Viree13 snorts. "I'm prepared.... but I don't think you are... I sense a trap...." Chewbacca howls mournfully in the back ground. Viree13 grins. "And Chewie evidently agrees with me...."

Luke shakes his head. "We'll all be fine. Don't worry about me."

Jade looked at him seriously. "Dad maybe they're right there are a bunch of people who want to turn, or kill you. We'd better be careful."

Luke looked at her and smiled. "It's going to be okay don't worry."

They forgot the comlink was on so Viree13 could hear everything they were saying.

Viree13 sighs and thinks to herself. "Well, what a pair we'll make, I'm wanted too...." With a groan, that Chewie echoes rather loudly, she lets the beam finish pulling her's and Luke's ships in. "Well, here goes nothin'...." She adds over the comlink.

Soon they found themselves pulled in to the hangar bay.

"Jade keep your light saber hidden." Luke instructed his daughter.

"Why Dad." Jade asked him.

"Because we don't want the Empire to know we're Jedi." He said.

"But Dad they're going to know it's you." She said then screamed when she saw before her a stranger. "Dad help."

The stranger imeaditly morthed into Luke. "Mind trick." He said. "Keeps the oponet from knowing it's you."

Jade turned from frightened to a bit excited. "Can you teach me that?"

"Maybe some other time." He pointed to what just happened.

"Oh right." Jade said sheepishly.

Viree13's ship slides into the hangar bay right behind Luke's. "Look, Luke, I don't like this.... Just be careful...." Her voice holds a hard edge to it. "Chewie, stay here until I call you...." Without a thought, her form flows together and melts into an air-like substance that passes through the side of her ship and into Luke's without being noticed. She materializes right behind Jade. "Hello there... Are we ready?..." A grin slides across her face, her slightly pointed canine teeth gleaming.

~The Mercenary A-U Gentlewoman~

Jade was a little shocked to see her come in like that. She jumped a bit.

"Yes were ready." Luke said.

Viree13 grins down at Jade. "Never be surprised.... It could cost you your life... Learn to sense when people approach you unexpectedly...." She looks up at Luke. "I'm ready, but I still have a bad feeling about this...." Suddenly realizes she sounds a bit like Han and laughs softly.

(Han Solo says that in every movie, IV, V, and VI!....lol)

~The Mercenary A-U Gentlewoman~

Jade nods still a bit stunned. "I will try."

Luke chuckles. Noticing the famialarity of what she said. "I agree we must be careful."

Viree13 nods. "Good...." With that she turns and goes to the door of the ship and lets down the ramp. "Well, I guess we'd better meet the welcomin' party...." She says with a resigned sigh. "But if you get us all killed, don't blame me!!..." Viree13 grins, pointing a finger accusingly at Luke, and starts down the ramp.
