If it's ok with everyone else, I'll go ahead and start writing.

Zira~~~~~~~

I shoved the last of my belongings into my knapsack and tossed it into the cockpit of my x-wing. The ship the Jedi boy had gotten into had left not ten minutes ago. I had lain low during the action, and surveyed it all from behind a dusty tent. These Jedi people seemed so mysterious- I just had to follow them. Without any hesitation, I climbed into the cockpit and started up the ship. "Thank goodness I thought to sneak that tracking device onto the tail of the ship." I muttered, and took off in the ship, zooming up into the sky. 

@Will, FYI: you forgot to put appearance on the charrie sheets... just to send you a heads-up. Because I bet we're all picturing the characters differently in our heads. 

Aya~

I feel myself getting knocked down, but I spin around so I'm on my back and lash at the nearest trooper. I leap up with my back legs right as I see Terron fly off the ship and land among the vast desert. Without hesitating, and feeling my eyes roll in slight annoyance, I jump off as quickly as possible. I feel myself rolling all over the hot desert sand, and I land with a thump against a hill. 

"Oh," I mutter.

I slowly get up, the setting sun in my eyes. Looking around, I spot a small lump a few feet away that happens to be someone that looks like Terron.

I run and when I finally reach him, I turn him over in panic and in worry.

"Terron! Terron!"

He starts to stir, and I help him sit up.

"What...happened?" he groans, rubbing his head.

I sigh. "You got pushed off. You need to watch your backgrounds more."

"So do you," he retorts.

I give him a look. "You're half right. It only caught me off guard because I was deeply thinking about something else. I'm always watching my background."

I look around quickly, and shivers run up my spine.

"C'mon, get up," I say, standing quickly and offering a hand.

"Where are we going?" he asks.

"A smuggling palace," I reply, turning and beginning to walk.

"What?!" he exclaims. "Why?"

"We have some unfinished business to attend to," I reply.

"We?" he asks.

"Yes," I say. "I'm a Jedi, you're a Padawan. I'm with the Force and so are you. An old Jedi and a friend of mine is being kept there. Now listen carefully. Here's the plan. I will negotiate for his realease. And when that doesn't happen, we will keep the people on the main floor busy while or allies free the Jedi. Up until that happens, stay quiet. But I won't tell you to be completely quiet. Just always think through what you are going to say before you say something. Oh, and Terron?"

"Yes?" he asks.

We start heading towards a large building, like a dome, in the distance.

"Always keep your lightsaber ready." 

Not sure how Aya and Terron fell out of the ship. I guess the two ships managed to break apart from each other (I'm assuming the Storm Troopers boarded the Jedi's ship, like in the verrrrrry beginning of Star Wars) and they felt out. So...I suppose we're flying very low? 

ALSO, who else is on the ship? I'm guessing there's a pilot, and the others are our characters. Unless Aya has been piloting and now she's fighting? I'm going to assume so, since I really have no idea. Is that all right? I don't know a lot about spaceships! Sorry! 

Zas~

I start to toss Ariel my blaster as soon as it's clear we'll be boarded, but she whips out her own instead.

"What, you think a girl can't defend herself?"  My answering grin wipes away as the ship gives another jolt. 

"Okay, this is it," Jedi-girl (I mean Aya) says, "Remember—"  But she is cut off as the hatch is forced open. I plaster myself against the wall as Terron and Aya leap out, lightsabers drawn. Behind them, Ariel and I form a second line of defense. My heart pounds as I watch Terron and Aya cut down each Storm Trooper they face. Any time they aren't in the line of fire, Ariel and I try to get a few shots in, but my hands are shaking so hard that I miss  almost as much as the poor shooters we're facing. Aya's cloack whips up and brushes my outstretched arm as she leaps out to cover for Terron, who wasn't watching his back. Seeing that they have us pretty well covered, at least for the moment, I reach over and grab Ariel, pushing her out of the way of oncoming blaster fire and up against the wall. She starts to protest, but I cut her off quickly.

"Ariel. We've got to shake them off, get out of the atmosphere, and make the jump into hyperspace."

"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS!" She yells back. Behind us, I hear the humming of a lightsaber descending on its prey.

"Yeah, well it's our only chance to get away. I know I'm a lousy pilot, but I've got to try. Hold them off. I'll try to shake them. It probably won't work, okay? Do as much damage to the connection between the ships as possible."  

"Zas! Look out!" Terron calls. I dodge the fresh round of blaster fire just in time, then look at Ariel again.

"You're a great friend." Ducking my head, I turn and race away. Ariel yells something after me. I can't make it out, but it sounds like:

"I don't think you're a lousy pilot!"  

I race towards the control room. If Ariel can damage the connection and the ship can make the jump...this just might work. 

Bursting into the control room, I try to ignore the noises and vibrations coming from the back of the ship. Focus. I tell myself. Ariel's words echo in my head: You're not a lousy pilot. 

My hands take over; checking the right dials, punching in the right instructions. All the stuff Mark had taught me for the sole sake of boasting about his knowledge comes rushing back into my head. Suddenly, the ship jolts again. She's done it! She's damaged—if not severed the connection! I have to act now...act now...act now...Terron's frightened voice comes over the intercom, calling for assistance. I close my eyes and let instincts take over. I can feel the energy humming around me. Someone screams in the distance, but I block the sound out. Here we go. 

~

So I'm guessing Zas's plan and Ariel's assistance is what sent Aya and Terron flying out of the ship before they took off and hopefully ended up made the jump to hyperspace once they're high enough. 

Great posts!

Zira~~~~~~~~

My ship rushes up towards three others. One, the ship I tracked  from Tatooine, was being boarded by an Imperial craft, and a third one shot at the Empire's vessel. It only takes me a second to make my decision. I pull my ship closer and begin to fire at the enemy vessel. Without warning, two figures are shoved out of the ship I had been tracking into an escape pod and sent barreling towards the planet below. I swing around and blast full power down after the escape pod. ~~~~~~~~~~~ 

ten minutes later~~~

The escape pod crashes into smithereens, and the two people are throw out of the tiny craft. I fly off and land in a protected place, and wait, watching. 

I thought we were in the middle of space, too... I mentioned the escape pod to explain how Terron and Aya fell off. Also, with everything that happens on Terron and those people's ship, I thought they were already in another part of the galaxy by now. I'm totally fine with them having had the fight still on Tatooine. So maybe Terron and them never even left Tatooine and they were about to leave when the empire attacked? 

Okay. How about I condense all this and make one storyline of this late confusion. So how about Aya was gonna leave to get her Jedi friend while they were still landed, but then they saw an imperial ship coming and tried to leave. The empire's ship boarded them before they could leave, and Aya and Terron were shoved off, but Aya was planning to go back to that smuggling palace anyway. Erin had been tracking their ship, and just caught up with them as they were being boarded. Zira was already on Tatooine and tried to help them when the Empire attacked by shooting at the Empire's ship like Erin was already doing. And now Zira's following Aya and Terron on foot. And Zas, Ariel, and Alexis have just zipped off into hyperspace without realizing that Aya and Terron are still on Tatooine. I hope that clears things up and that I'm not being too controlling.
