We jumped out of hyperspace as Anakin piloted the ship.

"That's Felucia, dead ahead" he said.

"But where's the medical station?" I said. "I don't see anything on my scanners. Wait, there's something. Great, vulture droids."

"Hang on" he said.

"I guess we know what happened to the medical station" Cal said.

The ship took a hit as it began beeping.

"That's not good" he said.

"They took out the plasma conduit" I said.

"You thinkin what I'm thinkin?" Anakin asked looking to me.

"Oh, no" I said.

"Looks like we're doing this the hard way" he said.

We all grabbed breathing masks, putting them on.

"Starting ejection sequence" he said.

"How come every time you fly, we crash?" I asked.

"It's not my fault! It's the ship!" He said.

"Ready to eject" I said grabbing the lever on the side.

"Wait" he said. "Now!"

The three of us ejected as the plane crashed.

"Always. Blames. The ship" I said.

We landed on the ground as the pods opened. I straightened my back getting out of mine.

"You all right there, Organa?" He smiled.

"I'm fantastic, Skywalker" I said.

"Where on Felucia do you think we are?" Cal asked.

"I'm not sure" I said.

I looked around as a creature growled.

"Oh I don't like the sound of that" he said.

"And I don't like the look of that" Anakin said.

Large creatures walking right in front of us as I didn't move a muscle.

"We need a plan, we can't wander around aimlessly" I said as they passed.

"Obi-Wan taught me to go on instinct, and my instincts tell me to go that way" Anakin said.

"That doesn't seem right" I said. "I think we should go this way."

"Why do you even ask for my opinion. You never do things my way" he said.

"We crashed the ship your way" I said.

"Very funny" he said. "I see your sense of humor survived the landing."

"The only thing" I said.

"Uh, if you two are done arguing, I think theres some smoke on the horizon, which means people and a way off this planet" Cal said.

Cal walked between us as I smiled. We walked down a trail as a village came into view.

"Look, a village" Cal said.

"Maybe they have a ship we can, borrow" Anakin said.

"So you can crash it?" I asked.

He glared at me as I winked. There was not a single life from in sight as we walked through the village.

"This place looks deserted" Cal said.

"I don't believe it is" I said. "The crops are ready to be harvested. Tools are lying about. There's something missing"
