It had been days since Owen had recorded the messege.He had been angry to find out that the shuttle could not work.But he could record messeges and Ethan had left specs to build weapons.

Including a lightsaber.

Owen had never wielded such a weapon before.But he knew he was Force-sensitive and he was going to become a Jedi.He would need a Jedi weapon so now he was constructing one.Ethan had left specs for it and Owen had found parts all over the shuttle, including the crystals.

He had been slaving over his workdesk in he shuttle for three days now.And he was almost done with it.

He also hoped Cairo got his messege.She would probably be looking for him by now.Part of him hoped she would come...and part of him still missed Trinna.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Stop that Owen!<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> he tried to snap out of it and concentrate on his work.

______________________________________

Several hours later he was done.He had followed the specs precisely and the lightsaber was finally done.

He held it up and ignited it.

A brilliant red blade shot out of the hilt.

He was finally armed again.

He sent another messege to Delph, giving his coordinates.He knew Jaina would know it was him, or he hoped.

"'Tran'? What do you mean 'Tran'? Sounds like a diet-drink."

"Mrs. Darklighter, I assure you; the coordinates indicated that Master Aiden is on the remote planet of Tran."

"Tran, my arse."

Jai, Ben, and Lecton (a droid) all stood around the com-center in HQ stareing at a printout of the message Owen sent and a star-chart.

"I'll tell you, little droid, there is no such place."

"Jai, maybe the tincan is right...I mean, there is a...dot there....I think..."

"Oh, Ben! Pfft!"

"Mrs. Darklighter, if you look at it this way...it is a long shot, but your sister could benefit from this information. It could bring her home faster."

Jai looked at the droid, then at Ben, whom gave her a pleading look, "Oh Frell it all..go on and send 'em."

"Right away, Jai!"

Cairo had left Delph and headed in the general direction that the Com tech's had said it might have come from...she sighed sadly as she poured over star charts.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> There's nothing out here...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Just then, the little com-center aboard that was located at the back of the cockpit began to whirr. Cairo walked back to it and picked up the small print-out...

"Tran?"

----------------------------------------

Within mere seconds, Cairo had locked in the new, exact coordinates and the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Solo Pride<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> was hyperspace-ing it, in high gear, to Tran...

"There he is! the murderer!"

Owen stood outside the shuttle.The townspeople had gathered their weapons.

"Aiden! just stop where you are and we won't hurt you" said one of the calmer people.

Owen shook his head.

"I didn't kill anyone.I just want to go home"

"You can alright! in peices!"

Owen sighed and pulled out his new weapon.The red-white blade ignited with a <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> snap-hiss<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->.

The townspeople were memorized.They just stared at the blade in shock.

And just then, Cairo's ship shot through the atmosphere.....

The <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Solo Pride<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> shot through the atmosphere of the little planet and swooped down...meanwhile in the cockpit, Cairo was busy looking for Owen.

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Scanning for lifeform-Aiden....scanning...scanning....subject found...<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

Cairo smiled and sat her YT-1300 down a little ways from Owen. She lowered the ramp on her ship and ran to him, arms outsteched, "Owen!!"

Owen felt like his heart was shattered.The sight of Cairo running toward him.....

Obviously the people gathered thought of Cairo as a threat.One of them turned and fireed at her.

But Owen was already in motion.He flipped several times and came down right in front of Cairo, shielding her.

And the energy bolts came.

The first one hit him on his lower back.The second one just between the shoulder blades.He fell forward and Cairo caught him.

"Cairo.....go run!"

She half dragged him back to the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Solo Pride<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->.After securing him on a bunk she went into orbit.

After they were safly in orbit she came back to him.

Cairo ordered the little med-droid around; together, they doctored Owen. A little bacta here, some bandaging there...before long he was all patched up.

"Thank you, XD12. That'll be all." The little droid 'bowed' and went to his storage self, and powered down. Cairo went over to Owen's cot and brushed back a bit of hair from his forehead.

She spoke softly, even though he was still under the meds and unconscience, "Oh Owen...I've missed you so much. It's so wonderful to have you back with me." She bent down and kissed his lips softly. She smiled and looked down at him...he was as handsome as ever. But yet...something was different. She couldn't put her finger on it, but she had a feeling something had happened while he was on that planet...something big...

She brushed it off for now and went back to the cockpit of the ship. It would a bit before he woke up, and so she passed the time playing solo-sabacc...

He awoke soon after.

"Trinna!"

He looked around and saw that he was on Cairo's ship.He was in severe pain and his back felt like he was on fire.His lightsaber was nowhere in sight and he hoped he didn't drop it back on Tran.

He managed to get to the cockpit.Cairo was busily inspecting the saber.He went to one knee and kissed her deeply.

"I missed you more than you could ever know"

Cairo didn't look so happy anymore, "Did you?"

She held up a slip of paper. "My med-droid and I cleaned out your pockets when we laid you on the cot and removed your jacket. All I found was this lightsaber, some scraps of paper...and this. From...Trinna. Who's Trinna?"

The paper was just a little note the girl had wrote to him. A simple, "i got held up. might be a little late for our date. love you" kind of note...but Cairo was fumeing.

Owen composed himself.
The pain from his wounds faded from his face.

"Trinna was my.......romantic interest on Tran."
