Suprise at Bespin

"Thanks for taking us, Priire," said Yuki as she, Zyta and Kirana got off her ship.

Priire smiled, her green eyes shining. "Any time," she said, and took off.

"Well," Zyta said,"let's get to work." The three girls had volunteered to come to Bespin to salvage spare ship parts in a testing site.

"It's so windy here," Zyta complained as the wind whipped her short, blond hair around her face.

"Oh, and Tatooine isn't?" Kirana laughed.

"She DOES have a point there," Yuki said. Yuki was a pretty girl with blue hair who always managed to stay cool and collected.

"Well, there's the yard," said Kirana, pointing. Her long, pearlescent hair blew around her body as if alive.

Zyta was dismayed when she saw the yard. "Junk, junk, and more junk," she concluded.

"I'm sure we can handle it," Yuki said.

The girls worked for hours, finding things the best they could.

Kirana was getting very tired when she heard a faint beeping. She cleared away a pile of rubble and saw a little droid. "Poor thing!" she cried. The purple and white astromech droid looked pretty beat-up.

"What's your number?" she said, brushing some dirt off. "R2-K4," she read. "We'll fix you up," she promised, running a delicate blue hand over its scratched surface.

"Hey!" Kirana cried. "Zyta! Yuki!" The other two girls came running over.

"What is it, Kirana?" Yuki asked.

"Look what I found!" Kirana exclaimed, pointing at R2-K4.

She looked up at Yuki and Zyta. "Can I keep him?" she asked. They laughed.

"Sure," Yuki said.

A couple days later...

"There!" Kirana said, giving R2-K4 one last rub. He shone beautifully.

From then on, Kirana and R2-K4 were never apart. Well... ALMOST never!
