Ardeth, Raoul and Mirana are mine. No one else belongs to me.

"That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." Raoul said, sitting down with Ardeth, Mara and Mirana.

Mara looked between her friends, then asked quietly, "What are you going to do?"

They all knew what she meant.

"The way I see it," Ardeth began slowly, "It's not our secret to tell."

Mara nodded. "Thank you."

"You should know," Raoul said, "that if it endangers the Alliance, we will tell them."

Mara hadn't expected anything less.

A profound thank you goes to my Uncle Chuck, who gave me the Original Trilogy book for Christmas and turned me into a Star Wars monster. Without your help, this story never would have seen the light of day. It has also been two years since he passed away on 6/18/16.
