Who:Leia & Galen
What: These two steal a motorbike from the doors, then build a couch fort.
Where:Various locations around Starklandia
When:13th of October

They hadn’t exactly left through the doors with the idea in mind, they just wanted to explore somewhere beyond Starklandia! The idea of going anywhere of their own violation was exciting for any young teen, but venturing into a completely new world, was even moreso. So together Leia and Starkiller had just chosen a door at random and gone through it. Neither could place the town, or even the world particularly, but it was populated by humans, and technology that was not so familiar to either of them. No speeders, no starships - barely anything that even so much as hovered. But that was fine, they were still within a city, and there was still so much to see and do all around them.

It was hard to say whom the notion came to first (Leia would have said it was entirely Starkiller’s idea, were she asked) but somehow the idea of sitting on what looked a bit like a swoop bike on wheels, turned into the idea that maybe they could figure out how to take it and bring it with them back to Starklandia - well she’d heard that was how everyone had gotten ALL their supplies anyway, every snack or treat, just about anything they used in their world, was scavenged from beyond the doors - well neither Leia or her new friend had seen a bike like this there, so clearly they needed one. Didn't they? Not that it belonged to anyone else, but you know, maybe they’d let the people they liked borrow it? Imagine how cool that’d be.

But, with a little planning, a lot of patience and the quickest of nerves, suddenly there was a roaring motor, the bike tearing out the door the two of them had come in through, Leia giving a loud whoop of joy as they did. Whilst it was extremely exciting to feel the wind whipping by, Leia did cling to Starkiller, her arms about his middle like a vice as he was the one to steer the bike, but she wasn't at all frightened, peering out with her eyes practically watering.

Her intention, had almost entirely been to win at whatever this was. This moment where he was trying to make her look silly - but also let him know how completely wrong he was! After all, as much as she made her disgust for the young stuffy boys she knew, very clear, especially if one of her Aunts mentioned marriage in a Princesses future, she didn’t completely hate those more sentimental holos, ones aimed her her age, anyway. Who didn’t want to know what kissing someone was like? She just didn’t want to be told who it should be.

His reaction was entirely the opposite of her expectation - no disgust, no wiping his mouth or shoving her away. And without any warning, she felt ..a little pleased by that? Leia just stared at him, eyes slightly wide in a clear sort of shock.

She’d planted kisses before, like that, in silliness or bidding her parents goodnight. But she’d never kissed a boy she liked - and she liked him. He’d been there for her this entire time and maybe, one day, if they ever got home they’d make everything better than it was. He was fun, and he liked to make trouble, he wasn’t scared or worried all the time like everyone else was. “Um. Sure-” she said trying to sound confident, wondering if her cheeks could flush any deeper? But she wanted it to be different this time, she didn’t want it to be silly. She bit her lip in thought; if he decided he hated it, so what. She'd just pretend like she didn't care.

So, whilst she’d not kissed anyone like this, she’d seen it? Holo’s, the way her parents shared chaste but affectionate moments. Even Marty and his girlfriend, the proper one back in his time, had shared a kiss on screen. Thinking it through Leia started by putting her hand over his, not ..holding it properly, but it was there, and it felt warm. She more cautiously moved forward, inching closer with a little more hesitance and uncertainty this time, tilting her head just a fraction and closing her eyes because she thought that was what she was supposed to do, until their lips met again.
