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.

There it was, the kiss that he really wanted out of the situation. The way it was supposed to go the first time around. He sighed as their lips parted, because in a nagging way he still could feel how conflicted she was, but they had progress. That was much better than the alternative. And on top of that she was correct, there was no rush on figuring things out. They had time to work it out and to navigate this whole process.

There was a nod from Galen, understanding the need to go home. Here in this place, in these clothes they were wearing - especially him with the clothes so tight to his body. "Yes, let me see you out." Galen offered while heading out of the fort they had built. Finally taking in the house as an adult, it was a disaster in a way showing a child had been living alone. Also, where was Lucario? Starkiller would have to find his Pokemon companion sooner than later.

Bringing his attention back to Leia, he helped her to her feet off the ground which they had just spent the night on and walked her to the door. Once there, Galen nervously kicked at the ground. "Just remember, we're not going backwards.." He said softly. "Only forwards." His eyes went to hers. "Lets meet for this thing they call Halloween. I am guessing there will be a party."

Leia did admire what they’d built once she was on her feet again, quite the elaborate set up for two children, but they’d worked hard and it was no wonder they crashed, and slept well, at least the part that wasn’t the fact they’d comforted one another so perfectly, the experience had been mostly fun, but also somewhat frightening for a child who’d started to miss her family.

Leia smiled again, nodding to his words, not glancing away. Forwards, she couldn’t help thinking it wouldn’t be easy, and she wondered how that would go; though anticipating problems wouldn’t do any good. “Most likely.” She agreed of the party. “They tend to enjoy those around here, and there's always something to learn about these customs were not so familiar with.” She acknowledged, and for the most part, they were fun experiences, chance to better know those around her - especially when new people were always arriving. “I’ll be there.”

Leia paused, having taken in the state of his home before she left, hesitating from leaving just yet. “If- you need any help cleaning up. I can come back a little later. Just let me know, alright?” She added, a sincere offer, after all she had taken part in building the Fort.
