Aboard Leia's ship, somewhere in hyperspace...
"I didn't mean to leave you, Leia. Don't have me stand here, leaving myself to beg you to come back into your life again. I never wanted to be gone away from you in the first place."
Leia had never answered, and the rest of the first day of the trip was full of awkward silence.
The second day was much different. Everything that had needed to be said had been said the day before, not to mention... Leia was feeling much better.
By the final day their friendship had rekindled though Leia still seemed wary at times, and they sat eating lunch in the common room.
"Only a couple more hours until we reach the Caprician system... I can't wait to get off this ship" Leia said, stretching. Amalia suddenly looked up, a confused expression evident on her face. She had initially set the ship on a course to Bonadan... Leia had never mentioned a course change.
"We'll be getting back only a couple days before the wedding. I've got to get back home, handling the wedding planning alone has to be driving Tyscio insane" Leia explained as she pulled a brightly colored flimsy out of her pocket, similar to the one Tyscio had given Vinda. The coloring still irked her... she'd wanted white and gold. "Speaking of which, here's your invitation."
Leia smiled and placed it on the table in front of Amalia, and then rose and headed for the cockpit... there was a long list of preparations to be made for their arrival.

Capricia
Leia keyed open the door to the apartment, and tripped over a stack of crates as she entered the foyer.
"What...?" Curious, Leia leaned over the crates to examine them more closely. They smelled of... swamp?
She heard something squish under her, and as she looked down she found that the smell was coming from some sort of ooze that had leaked out of one of the crates and saturated the carpet. The puddle of ooze was wiggling too, were those... worms?
That man was in trouble.
"TYSCIO!!!!"
