This is the last chapter -cries-, It's sort of an epilogue, that you to everyone who has ever reviewed, this story has over 100 reviews and 17000 hits which is absolutly amazing, I honestly can't believe it!
The song used at the end is 'last summer' by 'lostprophets', it is an absolutly amazing song.
Oh and Tiberion was accidently based on Seto Kaiba (just in appearance, a bit of his personality (not a lot luckily) and the fact his favourite form as a dragon is white with blue eyes)
Disclaimer: For the last time I don't own anything
enjoy...
Chapter 49
One year later...
It was the middle of the Coruscant summer, it was also the hottest day of the year so far. The aquarium was filled with hundreds of noisy families and 3 people were waiting outside the 'creatures of the deep' exhibit for their friends, but one of them had gone to find ice cream.
"Wes, what the hell are you doing?" Holly asked as Wes, sick of waiting, ran off.
"I'm going to see Boris!" Wes called, "I haven't visited him for a whole week! Can you imagine how lonely he is?"
"Can you slow down?! It's hard to catch my breath with an artificial lung!" Holly yelled after him.
"Hey Holly," she turned to see Tiberion walking towards her holding two ice creams.
"Yay! Thank you, Tibbi!" Holly celebrated, taking the vanilla ice cream, Tiberion kissed her forehead, whispering,
"You're so cute when you're excited over trivial things," which made Holly blush.
"Hey! How come I don't get one?" Wes pouted.
"Cos you're obsessed with an octopus called Boris!" Holly called back.
"Must I remind you Holly, he's not any old octopus, he's now the largest in the galaxy!" Wes said with pride.
"Aren't you glad we stopped you from keeping him in the bath?" Hobbie asked as he came to greet them.
"It would have been interesting we had let him keep it," Holly giggled, "Every time we'd have gone over we'd have been attacked by a giant octopus."
"Interesting is not the right word," Wedge said as he joined the small group, "more like scary."
"Where are the others?" Tibbi asked impatiently.
"Yeah, they're a whole minute late," Holly said sarcastically, "Hey look it's Indigo!" she shouted happily pointing to her friend pushing her way through the crowd.
"Hi guys!" She said once she had reached them, Wes hugged her.
"Hey how come I didn't get a hug?" Holly asked mock-offended.
"Cause your boyfriend is scary," Wes replied, Tiberion glared at him.
They spent 10 minutes catching up with each other.
"Where the hell are Han and Leia?" Holly asked.
"Trust my half-brother to be late," Indigo said smiling slightly, it had been a shock to find out that her and Han had the same father, but also kinda nice to know that she wasn't all alone in the world.
"I still don't get how Indigo and Han are brother and sister," Wes said, the others sighed.
"For the hundredth time, Han's mum died after giving birth to him, his dad then abandoned him and ran off with some other woman who is Indigo's mother, they had Indigo and lived on Alderaan until it exploded and they died," Holly explained.
"Ahhh, still don't get it."
"What don't you get about it?!" Wedge said in exasperation
"Urmm...LUKIE!" Wes suddenly shouted.
"Lukie? Luke has nothing to do with it you idiot!" Hobbie shouted.
"But Lukie's over there," Wes said pointing to the entrance, they all looked round and saw he was right.
"Hiya, Han and Leia will be here in a bit, some diplomat caught up with us as we were leaving," Luke said panting slightly after running over to them.
"How's your Jedi school thing?" Holly asked.
"It's fine, thank you," Luke replied smiling, "Look Han and Leia are here now."
"How late can you be?" Tiberion asked as they arrived at the group.
"Yes, you've been torturing me! I've had to wait ages to see Boris again!" Wes said.
Hobbie sighed, "You could have gone by yourself."
"But it's scary, much like Tiberion," Wes whimpered.
"Wes, one day I am going to kill you!" Tibbi replied through gritted teeth, everyone laughed.
"Sorry we're late, some idiot wanted Leia to sign some papers saying she didn't kill Prince Perfect," Han told them.
"It's amazing that that was a year ago, it seems like yesterday," Indigo said, "I wonder if they'll ever find who killed Isolder."
"I doubt it, whoever it was did a good job not to be traced," Leia replied.
"Why are we hanging around here, let's go and see Boris!" Wes said, destroying the slightly somber mood.
"Alright, let's go," Wedge said.
"Yay!" Wes celebrated leading the way into the exhibit.
"Yep, I'm glad we didn't let you keep him in the bath," Hobbie said as they came to Boris' tank. The purple octopus was now about the same size as a large car and was currently 'hiding' in the fake ship wreak thing the aquarium staff had put in to make it look more threatening, his long arms were waving serenely ready to grab and kill any prey that might fall into the tank.
"He looks like he could kill a small child," Leia commented, this was the first time she had seen Boris in real life, although she had seen the countless photos Wes kept showing them all.
"Hello Boris!" Wes cried waving, the octopus ignored him.
"I think he's angry at you not visiting him for a week," Holly teased.
"You think so?" Wes said looking upset.
"It was a joke Wes," Tiberion sighed.
"Oh Okay," Wes instantly cheered up, "Look, I'm mentioned in the information about Boris."
Everyone looked up and saw the words at the bottom of the information saying;
This specimen was donated by Wes Janson.
"It says they have no idea what type of octopus he is," Leia read.
"My little Boris is a mystery," Wes said proudly.
"'Little', that thing's almost as big as my old speeder," Luke said, Wes decided to ignore him.
They looked at Boris whilst small children tried to push past them to see the giant octopus.
"Wow cool," one of them said, "It's big enough to crush a skyscraper!"
Leia looked at her watch, "Sorry I've got to go, I've got a meeting soon."
The others bid farewell to Han and Leia. (AN: Han's gone to work on the Falcon)
"It's good that they got married," Holly said.
"Yeah, Isolder would have scared my little Boris," Wes said.
"Wes, you are an idiot!" Indigo sighed whilst the others laughed.
After a while they left the aquarium to go back to their work.
After the meeting Leia went to her office to read through the reports which just seemed to pile up endlessly. She sighed and turned on the radio to relieve the silence of the office. Leia vaguely recognized the song, having heard Holly play it continuously for the past few months.
'The Friday sun bears down again,
As we drive without friends,
And on these longest days we spend,
All the time trying to pretend,
That our stories could be true,
Our chance to be cool,
The setting sun says the day is through,
If only we knew...
And we all sit around here in our home town,
Listen to the waves as they all crash down,
And watch the fire as it slowly burns away,
Glowing embers lie across the sky.
Has it already been a year since that whole Isolder thing, Leia thought. The prince's body had been found with 2 shot wounds behind the temple, the police had tried to find his killer but had failed. Leia was pretty sure it had been Venalicius, but no one had been able to find him.
'We trace the sun across the sky,
And we laugh till we cry,
Always so hard to say goodbye,
Leia realised her eyes were skipping paragraphs of the report, obviously as bored as she was. Looking back, last year hadn't been too bad, well apart from the whole being forced to marry some idiot prince and Han and Holly almost dying, it had been quite fun though. Well fun in the way something that really wasn't fun to do seems fun when you look back on it, it had been better than paperwork though.
Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer,
'I would stop time to stay with you,
I would stop time so we don't move,
I would stop time,
I would stop time,
I would stop time to keep you,
The world passes by in my summer, our last summer,
The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other,
Alive to watch it all, the view from our last summer.'
"Done!" Leia said happily several hours later, she piled the paper up on the 'out' tray and then left the office, I wonder if the rest of my life's going to be full of paperwork, she thought as she walked home, I think an adventure once in a while would be good...
