They didn't make it in time. The storm surrounded them as they trudged through the sand. There was no shelter for at least five kilometers. By the time they managed to get to a small cave no bigger than one of the ghosts cabins, Ezra had ripped one of the sleeves of his tunic off and wrapped it around his head for the little protection it may have given. Sabine had been able to stay protected from the storm by her armor but the storm still tore apart chunks of her jumpsuit from around her neck just above her right shoulder pad, on her left leg there was a graze mid thigh and a small cut around her abdomen just above her navel. Upon the arrival of the cave Ezra started to cut a large boulder away from the wall. This boulder was used as a barrier between the storm and the contents of the cave. Ezra looked around and saw that there lots of little holes in the sand stone. That didn't concern him for the moment. He turned his attention to Sabine who was laying down in the corner of the cave.

"are you heart?" Ezra looked over at her not seeing any extreme damage on the outside of her body. She had a couple of grazes hear and their but for the most part her armor kept her safe.

"No I am alright" she said. "You?" she asked

"Just a scratch or two" he didn't want to tell her that his arm was feeling really num. During their trek across the force knows were in the storm a small rock flew and cut a hole in his exposed arm the length of a credit and as deep as one too. He couldn't cover it up because the only cloth he has was his sleeve and that was covering his face. He could only imagine how much sand would be in that cut. He thought about what Hera might say if she were here now.

"Ezra, could we have some light please?" Ezra didn't realize how dark it was in the cave until Sabine had asked.

"Oh ya sure" he pulled out his lightsaber and ignited it. The green glow lit up the most of the cave but not all of it. He walked over to sabine and saw that she was doing her best to stay wake. Ezra sat down next to her and practically picked her up so that she was curled up on his lap. Sabine tucked herself further into Ezra's warm figure she hummed her smiled slightly disappointed that he could only hold her in one arm, but someone had to hold the lightsaber. In the silence all Ezra was focusing on was the steady breathing of the mandalorian that he got to call his own, slowly drifting off to sleep in his arms. Although the scrapes and cuts, that littered both their body's, acked they still held on to each other in the strange place waiting for the storm to blow over. Ezra's Eyes started to slide shut, he thought it best to deactivate his lightsaber. To be safe.

Sabine woke up to the sound of sniffing. She remembered that she and Ezra were in a fight with stormtroopers then a small fight with each other, well she got mad at him, so it wasn't really a fight. And then there was a sand storm….oh. She opened her eyes that's why she was curled up using Ezra as a bed. They were in a cave. But that still didn't explain the sniffing sound. She looked up at Ezra's face and saw that there was this grotesque rat the size of Sabine sniffing at Ezra's hair.

"Ezra" Sabine hissed

Ezra opened his eye and looked at sabine. He smiled

Sabine looked him dead in the eyes and hissed again " don't move" Ezra looked at her calmly but his eyes said he understood. Sabine slowly drew her pistol. She looked at Ezra for confirmation that what she was doing was OK. He looked her with complete and utter trust and mouthed: "do it." sabine aimed her pistol at the unsuspecting creature and fired. The bolt hit it square in the head. The creature slumped over Ezra's head. Sabine got up and tried her best not to laugh as Ezra got up and pushed the dead creature off of his head.

"Oh ha ha ha. Very funny" Ezra was not a morning person. He was never good until he has a cup of caf. Sabine the kind and caring person she was walked up to him with a big smile on her face and said " your welcome" and gave him a quick kissed. Ezra thought that he may have to replace his morning caf with a kiss because that made him feel a lot better. "Well he said sheepishly, If i get a kiss for every time I get attacked by the ever the force this thing is I might have to move here." Sabine giggled. Then stopped Sabine did not giggle. But she still played along. "I think it is a womp-rat. But if you plan on living here the only one you'll be kissing is Jabba the Hutt." Ezra smiled then grabbed his lightsaber and cut open the rock that was protecting them from the storm and saw that the sand had settled. "How did they get in any way?" sabine asked " I thought there were no tunnels in here." as they climbed out of the cave Ezra said well " judging by the hole in the back wall it wasn't very stable and there was a tunnel system right behind us, they probably broke through the wall." sabine grimaced "fun"

"Do you remember the way back to the phantom?" Ezra asked. "No. but I did have my gauntlet track the journey for us." she pulled up a hologram of the places we walked start to finish it showed that they had walked in circles for the majority of the trek but in relation to where they ended up, the phantom was pretty close. "Alright then let's go" Erza started to walk toward where the phantom was. Then suddenly. The shrill cry of the krayt dragon filled the air.

Sabine and Ezra looked at each other. "Oh sh-"

"LOOK SIR. REBELS" a platoon of sand damaged stormtroopers climbed over the dune of sand and started to shoot at them. These troopers were a team investigating the disturbance with the other troopers the day before. Then suddenly the Krayt dragon burst through the sand on the other side of the sand field. Ezra and Sabine found themselves fighting back to back once again. Ezra was facing the stormtroopers with his lightsaber blazing deflecting the blaster bolts back at the shooter while sabine was facing the Krayt firing her pistols the dragon. The fought the switched positions this time Sabine had her dark saber out against the troopers and Ezra his blaster on the dragon. Ezra had returned his blade back to his belt. Sabine had cut the number of troopers down to about ten when she reached behind her and grabbed Ezra's lightsaber from its clip and started to duel wield just like Ezra had done befor. Ezra felt the blade being taken from his belt and continued to shoot the Krayt, until his blood ran cold- he heard Sabine yell out in pain. Sabine had been to inexperience with the dual wield. She had been ambushed by the troopers. One had shot her in the shoulder, another had kicked her hard in the leg, right on the kneecap. When she fell to her knees the trooper who had kicked her used the back end of his blaster and hit her hard on the head. Even her helmet would not help the blow. She crumpled to the ground.

Ezra for a moment saw red and charged the troopers he didn't have his saber and he had dropped his blaster when sabine yelled. For the next 30 seconds Ezra beat the remaining troopers to the ground. He made sure that he left them alive. For some reason he kept hearing Kanan in his head yelling at him to stop. Once he was done with them the used all of his might and forced pushed the Krayt dragon into the cave where they had stayed the night. When he took a breath Ezra realized two things. One the Dragon just wanted the was he was saved from starting down the path of the darkside by his master through the force.

Ezra had picked up Sabine Bridal style and ran her back to the phantom. He had no idea where he was going but the force guided him. When he got there he took off sabine's helmet and shoulder pads. He ripped her tunic just at the shoulder where she had been shot. Thank goodness the blast had not gone all they way through but the cauterization from the blaterbolt had been torn open from Ezra's running, Sabine had started to bleed bad. Ezra pushed hard on the wound with his other torn sleeve. He did that with one hand and used the other to strap her on an emergency bed in the Phantom. "This is going to heart like The force love." he said then bent down and kissed her forehead. He grabbed his lightsaber that he had retrieved after the battle, along with his blaster and sabines Darksaber. He ignited his blade, then quickly removing his sleeve from her shoulder and putting the tip towards the torn flesh,cauterizing the wound all over again. Even in her unconscious state Sabine writhed in pain and pressed up against the straps. She let out a blood curtailing scream. Ezra stopped turned of his blade, threw it aside and wept. He applied a bacta patch to her shoulder and turned on the autopilot of the phantom to home. He didn't let go of Sabines hand until he saw the base then he unstrapped her and carried her to the med bay, where he was determined to stay until she got better. The ghost crew all rushed in to see what had happened. Kanan was the first through the door, even with his blindness he could still move like crazy, but when he got through the door Ezra used the force to shut the door quickly and lock it before anyone else could get through it.
"Ezra what's wrong? What happened?" Kanan's voice wasn't mad or worried it was just there to comfort. Ezra ran to his master and hugged him, because the only things Ezra needed was Sabine to be OK and a hug from his father and hugging Kanan was the only one he knew for certain was possible.

For the next hour Ezra Explained their adventure. he left out some of the intimate parts He and Sabine had shared,although they were together the rest of the crew didn't know just yet. When Ezra got to the part where Sabine got heart and he beat the troopers he broke down again and apologized over and over again for turning astray from his teachings. Ezra just poured out his soul about how he had been trying to crack the sith holocron and how he felt ashamed. Kanan expressed his understanding and forgiveness. He explained to Ezra that he had known all along and wasn't mad at all.

After they're coming clean talk Kanan turned to Ezra and took off his mask, even though his eyes were milky white he still said

"look me in the eyes and know this: we will never be mad at you for the choices that you make. We may not agree with some of them but we will never turn you away for it."

And with that he put on his mask, turned around opened the door and left. Hera, Zeb and Chopper were all still standing there wanting to see Sabine but before they could say a word Kanan put his hand up and said that Ezra needed some time alone with Sabine.

When Sabine woke up the next morning she opened her eyes and saw that Ezra was sleeping in a chair with his head on her bed. Sabine wasn't worried that they would get caught because the ghost crew never woke up before 9 in the morning, they had plenty of time. She smiled and looked around realizing that she was in the med bay and there were at least a week's worth of dishes stacked up with half eaten food in them all around the room she looked down at her clothes and saw that she was in her pajama bottoms with one of Ezra's jacket as a shirt. That's odd she tried to take it off but her shoulder really heart. She looked at it and saw that it was heavily bandaged. That explains the big shirt she thought to herself. Sabine looked more closely at Ezra and realized that he had bags under his eyes, he was getting a five-o'clock shadow, and his hair was all messed up and greasy. Just as Sabine was about to wake him up Hera entered the room and waved her arms in the air to get Sabines attention then put a finger to her lips. She whispered to the younger girl. "He has been by your side 24/7 I had to force him to eat meals." Hera looked around "looks like he barely did that to."

Sabine smiled to herself and was glad she could call this loth-cat her own.

Sabine turned to Hera "how long was I out for?"

Hera adopted a sour look and whispered "at least two weeks" the only time I could get Him into the fresher was when Kanan confiscated Ezra's lightsaber, blaster and your darksaber. Even then Kanan had to hold him at lightsaber point." Sabine laughed softly and looked lovingly down at Ezra. Hera cot on quit quickly and said " i'll let you to be alone." Sabine turned really red but didn't deny the claim. As Hera walked out Ezra started to stir she lent down and kissed the back of his head. A choice she almost instantly regretted. When she new Ezra was awake enough to hear her she put on her bossy girlfriend voice and said "was trying to be the nice girlfriend and let you sleep in but since you decided to act like a slob for the past two weeks i'll just have to get your act in gear for you." Ezra got up with a start and saw that Sabine was awake.

"SABINE!" he practically yelled he tried to go in and hug her but she had other plans and stuck out her arm to stop him. "Nope."

"What?!" Ezra was completely oblivious to the fact that his yell had gathered the whole crew in the doorway.

Sabine smiled to herself and thought that this would be the best way to tell everyone about their secret. She raised her voice just a little to get Ezra worried a little.

"Well as I can see, she gestured to the dirty dishes around the room and to the mess of his hair. "You decided that since your Girlfriend was not conscious no one was going to get you to clean up your mess." Ezra scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Sheesh, Sabine are you trying to let the whole ghost in on our secret. Sabine played along for a little bit longer. "No its just I want you to take care of yourself." she sighed sarcastically "now go get in the fresher then we will talk about how stupid you were for the past two weeks." Ezra looked down at the floor and turned around to leave then saw the whole ghost crew standing in the door. Everyone except Sabine and Hera was speechless. Chopper let out one of his warble demonic laughs. Ezra turned redder that some of the paint on Sabines wall and ran for the fresher.

Kanan Looked surprised for the little face he had showing. Then all of a sudden Zeb turned to Kanan with the biggest grin and an outstretched hand.

"Kanan I believe you have a debt to pay."

Sabine let out a shocked cry of surprise. "WHAT!?"

"What was the arrangement again" Kanan asked pulling out a handful of credits "ten credits?"

Hera was trying to hold in a laugh. Zeb smirk grew even bigger. "naw, I believe we settled on twenty." Kanan tossed the lasat twenty credits.
