Death Star: episode #74 The Discussions between Luke and Samantha
Previously: Luke started flying Samantha. They talked to each other some, but need up making each other angry. The do not get along well at all. Because of a comment Luke made when he was angry, Samantha did something that made him sick. She didn�t know it would. Because of this, Luke has to land the ship on the nearest planet.
I It annoyed him extremely. Luke finally says, �Well I�m not Anakin.� �That�s obvious. You are no match to him when it comes to piloting.� She didn�t know how badly she had hurt Luke�s feelings. He chose not to tell her that he was his son. He didn�t care anymore how she knew him�at first he had wanted t. He was going to tell here that his father was Anakin, but decided she didn�t need to know after her replies to him. Luke was really sick. He finally looks at her. �Do you know�how t land? I don�t think I can�or better. I�m sick�� She looks at him in a really annoyed way. �Fine�get out of the pilot seat.� Luke does. Samantha does fine, it was a little rough landing, but they were all right. Samantha says in an annoyed way, �Now where are we.� Luke says, �I don�t know. Could you open the hatch.� �I don�t know how,� she says snappily. Luke rolls his eyes. All right, I�ve got it.� He presses the button. Luke leaves the ship, followed by Samantha. Luke sits down on the ground nearby the ship. Samantha sits down next to him. Luke uses his inhaler, Samantha watching him. Now she has one more reason not to like Luke. �What�s the matter?� he asks her. �My son had asthma.� Luke looks strangely at her. He didn�t think she seemed like the type of person that would have children. �How old is he?� is all Luke could think of saying to that. �He�s dead,� she said shortly. �He died shortly after his birth.� Luke sys, �I�m sorry�I didn�t know. Why is everything I do or say to you turns out bad?� �I don�t know. Leave me alone.� Luke says, �all right,� and turns away. �Wait, I have a question for you.� �What is it?� �Explain asthma to me.� �Um, okay�� (And Luke does.) �All right,� she says, �One other thing�I want to know if it would be possible for a newborn who had it to survive if they weighed under 4 pounds, and had other breathing problems�like so badly that they could barely breathe on their own.� Luke thinks a minute, then sassy, �I have no idea. I�m no expert. The best person you could go to would be a doctor. I don�t know much about those things. It�s about your son, isn�t it?� She said while looking at the ground, �yes�. I was just wondering if there was hope.� �I thought you said he died.� Luke was careful about what he said to her�. he knew it was really touchy�but he also knew that she wanted to tell someone�she needed to get it out. �The fat is I don�t know for sure�I think he is�but I never found out for sure.� Luke looks at her strangely, �Why not?� �Because the Republic was collapsing�the Clone Wars had just ended. You remember the clone wars, and how everything was just after they took place�for a couple years. My husband fought in them.� Luke shook his head, �No�� �Sure you do. The Clone Wars weren�t that long ago. It was 1980.� Luke says, �NO�I wasn�t even alive during the Clone Wars.� She looks at him weirdly. He says, �I�m only 18�. I was born in 1982.� She does the subtraction of the years in her head and finally says, �I guess you�re right. It�s been 20 years since the Clone Wars. I hadn�t realized that 1980 would be that long ago to some people.� She then asks, �Do you know any guys in wheelchairs�they�d be in about your grade. If he were alive, he�d be about our age. My son wouldn�t be able to walk because of his legs.� Luke shakes his head. �No�but I don�t know everyone on every single planet. �What�s his name? I need something to go on.� She shakes her head, �Never mind. It�s no use checking anyway.� Luke finally decides to ask about Anakin. �I may not have been around during the Clone Wars, but I know some things about them. I have a question for you.� He waits for her to prompt him to continue. She nods, �I may not be able to answer it, but go ahead.� �I know that Anakin Skywalker was the hero. You knew him? It seems like everyone knew him.� One glance from her and he knew he shouldn�t have asked her. She got really angry and says, �That is one subject I will not talk about. I thought I told you that before.� �You�re the only one I�ve met who didn�t like him.� She gives him a mean look. �Oh, just go somewhere. Leave me alone!!!!� Luke says, �all right. I�ll be back in like half an hour or so. The ship should be vented out by then and it�ll give you a chance to cool down. I�m going to see what�s here.� He gets up, leaving her to herself. She� starts to cry.
Until next time!
