The Past Always Catches Up

Chapter 3: Out

Now dressed, Aisha took inventory of the items she picked up on the Spire. Her last hours were a bit hazy, so what she had left and picked up, was up in the air. There was no telling what is going to happen on Carth's and her escapade. Noting that she had enough credits and medpacks, they were going to have to buy other odds and ends stuff.

'I can't believe I let him talk me into his little escapade. If she is a Jedi, couldn't she take care of herself?' Aisha thought while she was overlooking both her vibroblade and sword for any nicks and possible upgrades. Noticing a workbench at the end of her room, Aisha got off her bed, vibroblade and sword in one hand and upgrades in another and walked over to it. 'But that was not the whole reason why I agreed to help Carth. There is just something about this planet that I can't put a finger on. I need to know, and unfortunately I feel as if the only way to find out is to be looking for this Jedi. She better be worth what Carth says she is.' She continued to think while this time upgrading what she could on both her vibroblade and sword. Giving out a loud sigh, she sheathed her finished blade and sword, grabbed her bag, and headed to the living quarters.

"Hey" she said the moment Carth was in her sight.

"Hey" he responded in an autopilot voice.

Aisha stopped and looked him over concerned. "Carth, credit for your thoughts?"

"Huh?" he asked looking up at her. She gave him a questioned look. "Oh, sorry, I was just going over something in my mind."

"Care to share?"

"Err… not at the moment." He looked at her finally noticing her vibrosword, blade and bag she was carrying. "Going somewhere?"

She looked at herself before responding "Isn't it obvious?"

He rolled his eye "I'm going with you."

"I don't need a babysitter."

"No? You are going on a planet you don't know looking like that?" He pointed to the sword. "This is defiantly going to stir something. We are supposed to be keeping it low."

"This is keeping it low."

"Having a vibrosword on your back is keeping it low?"

She crossed her arms over her chest, "It is for me."

"I'm afraid of what you look like packing." He mumbled.

She glared at him "I can arrange that if you want."

He sighed again, "Look you don't need that. I haven't really explored a lot but enough to know, it's not like Dantooine or something. This place is nothing like that. Making the right appearance is important."

Her arms went to her side and she sighed in defeat "Fine, but I'm keeping the vibroblade". Aisha said heading back to her room to put up her sword.

She came back a few minutes later faced Carth and looked at him right in the eye. "Have you found a bar yet?"

Carth looked at her confused, "Yeah why?"

"Cause you owe me a drink." She answered heading for the door.

A/N: What trouble will Aisha get into? What is it that Carth was thinking about? Until next time!
