Thanks, Starmark, glad you like it.
Now, just thought I should let you all know that I have a bit of trouble with spelling (heheh) so if there's anything misspelled, I would appreciate it if you would point it out. I know for a fact that there are a lot of misspelled names in this chapter, but I couldn't find the correct spelling, so I guessed. Heheh.
Oh and by the way, I saw that I had about...say...18 views or so. Yet...one reply. Hmmm...All I'm saying is if you have read it and so far like the story, then please, TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. The more feedback, the quicker I'll update.
I also forgot to mention in my original post that I'm basing things on the way they happened in my game, lightsaber color, style, ect.
Now that I'm done rambling, I'll just get on with it....

---Chapter Two---
The next morning, Revan sat in the pilot’s chair of the Ebon Hawk, head in hands. What was he going to do? Even with Bastila’s council, he couldn’t push the dream out of his mind. Every time he thought about it, a feeling of foreboding and fear fell over him. He couldn’t lose her…he wouldn’t lose her. Just thinking about what could happen made him feel sick. No, he would figure out what these dreams meant, then take care of it.
“Dweet dweet toood whaaaaaaaio!” T3 came rampaging in through the door at high speed, stopping only when he slammed into the co-pilot seat.
“What is it Tee-three?” Revan asked, standing.
“Dood eet breee bree breee!”
“Statement: Do not believe him, Master. He has gotten as bad as a meat-bag without his routine memory-wipes.”
“Ach-kay, come in here.” Revan said. Obediently, the assassin droid stalked into the cockpit.
“Query: You called, Master?”
“What were you doing that made Tee-three so upset?”
“Statement: I was only trying to make a repair to the little astromech.”
“DREEE DEET WHOOOT DEA!!” T3 whistled indignantly.
“Exclamation: Be quiet you pathetic drone! Get back to fixing your circuits!!”
“That’s enough, Ach-kay. Next time, ask him before you do something like that. I don’t want any accidents on this ship, understand?”
“Reluctant Acknowledgment: Yes, Master, I understand.”
“Good, now go about your duties, both of you.”
With that, the two droids walked and drove out of the cockpit.
What am I going to do with those two? Revan thought, sitting back down again.
“What was that about?”
Revan swiveled the chair to face the door. Bastila walked in and sat in the co-pilot seat, turning to face him.
“Apparently Ach-kay tried to ‘fix’ Tee-three and Tee-three didn’t like it. So he came careening in here.”
“I see.” Bastila said, staring out the front windshield. For the moment, they were drifting through the Dantooine sector. No course was plotted on the nav-computer and the auto-pilot was off. The engines were just barely humming, using only enough power to keep them stable. Other than that, they simply went along on the currents of the area.
“It’s so peaceful.” she said.
Revan nodded, watching the stars drift by as well. His arm was on the center break, and he leaned against it casually. He turned when Bastila took his hand.
“What will happen now?” she asked, still looking out.
“I…I don’t know. We’ll need to do our part to help rebuild the Republic, but…”
“Maybe we don’t need to do anything.” she was looking at him now, “Maybe we can just settle down somewhere, put up our lightsabers, and live the quiet life.”
Maybe they could. It would be so easy. Dantooine was open, they could easily go and live there. Or maybe somewhere in the Dxun jungles…
But no, he knew they couldn’t. They had to help the Republic.
“I wish we could.” he said, rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb, “I wish we could…”
They were quiet for a moment, just looking into the vastness of space.
Then, “Where do you think the others are right now?” Bastila asked.
“Well, Carth should be on Courescant, Jolee went back to Kashyyk, I think…Mission and Zaalbar went back to help with the restoration effort on Taris…I believe Canderous went to Dxun, I have no clue why…I’m not sure where Jahauni went…”
“I think she went back to Dantooine. She said something about ‘finishing her journey’ before she left.”
There was another silence between them, each with their own thoughts.
Revan broke the silence first, “Bastila?”
“Hmm?” she said, turning to face him.
“No matter where we go from here, what happens, what we must do, I want you here with me, at my side, the entire time.”
“I would have it no other way.” she whispered.
He looked into her eyes and could not deny the love and caring that poured from them as she looked into his. As if there were a magnet between them, they leaned in towards each other. Bastila watched as his lips came closer and closer to hers…
“Query: Master?”
Bastila and Revan darted apart, both looking out into the hallway.
“Erm…yes Ach-kay?” Revan said, mastering his embarrassment.
“Query: Was that some form of mating ritual I interrupted?”
Bastila snorted into her hand.
“No, it wasn’t.” Revan answered.
“Contradiction: But the image taken from my photo-sensors fit ninety-percent into a reference from my data-core of-”
“It was nothing. You never saw anything, understood, Ach-kay?”
“Statement: Crystal clear, Master.” the assassin droid immediately accessed his memory-core and wiped the last five minutes.
“Now then, why did you come here?”
“Hesitant Statement: I’m…not sure, Master. In compliance with your order, I deleted my memory of the past few moments. Thus, I have forgotten what I came here for.”
A second later, the comm. alert went off.
“Recollection: That was it, Master. Admiral Onasi of the Republic fleet wishes to speak with you.”
“Thanks for the heads-up.” Revan said sarcastically.
“Statement: Of course, Master. I am here to serve.”
“Good. Now you’re dismissed.”
Without a further word, HK gave a stiff would-be bow and backed out of the room.
As soon as he was sure they were alone, Revan hit the comm. button. A two-inch tall holo-projection of Carth popped up on the reader as the link was opened.
“This is Admiral Onasi broadcasting to the Ebon Hawk. Ebon Hawk, are you receiving?”
“This is Revan of the Ebon Hawk. We are receiving your transmition clearly, Admiral.”
The ‘greeting’ done, Carth dropped his professional act. “Revan, it is so good to hear you’re voice again.”
“As is yours, Carth.”
“Is Bastila still with you?”
“Indeed. I’m sorry to say that she is perfectly alright and is standing next to me right now.”
Carth chuckled and Bastila strode into the eye of the holo-reader.
“Hello, Carth.” she said, as she subtly hit Revan for his last crack. “How are you?”
“I’m perfectly fine. And how has this vagabond been treating you?” he asked, nodding in Revan’s direction.
“Excuse me-?” Revan began but Bastila continued over him.
“Oh, I’m fine, thank you.”
“So then, what has the Admiral doing?” Revan asked, rocking back and forth on his heels.
“Never getting a moments peace, is what. As you must have figured, the Republic is in terrible shape. They’ve kept me on my toes, having my ships and me run back and forth across the galaxy, delivering supplies to refugees and helping the restoration efforts in most places. And what about you? What has the Prodigal Knight and his lovely assistant been up to?”
“You know, going here and there, following the call of the Force.” Revan answered.
Carth turned around, looking and talking to someone out of the eye of the holo-reader. He turned back to them.
“I’m sorry to cut this conversation short, but I must go.”
“Of course, I’m sure that the Republic needs their most valuable Admiral.” Bastila said.
“Stay in touch?” Carth asked.
“Of course.” Revan answered.
“Right, well, I’ll be seeing you. Admiral Onasi, out.”
As the connection broke, the holo-image of the man flickered and went out.
“Most valuable Admiral? And what am I? Bantha fodder?” Revan asked, turning to Bastila.
“Sorry,” she said crossing to him and tracing a finger along his chest, a smile on her face, “But I couldn’t very well let you have all the fun.”
He grabbed her wrist, pulling her closer to him. He looked into her eyes, a smile winding its way across his own lips, “Of course. But I'm afraid I'll have the last laugh."
“Really?” she said, draping her arms around his neck.
Without responding Revan leaned in and brushed his lips against hers. She put her hand on the back of his neck, pulling him closer, and into a long, passionate kiss.
At that moment, HK was coming into the cockpit. When he saw the two entangled in their passion for each other, he turned on his heel and walked right back out.
“Statement: I’m really going to have to adjust my behavioral-core…” he mumbled as he did so.
