Ezra and Moreena stared at each other for a long time while Kanan stood there watching the two teenagers, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, without warning, the two teenagers let out a yell of ecstacy (which caused Kanan to jump) and jumped into each others' arms. As they hug each other, Kanan stood there, only this time, his mouth is moving wordlessly and his eyebrows are scrunched together. Then the two teenagers broke away from each other.

"What are you doing here!?" they both beamed, grinning from ear to ear, "What am I doing here!? What are you doing here!?"

"I thought you've gone to Alderaan," said Ezra.

"What happened to you?" asked Moreena, as she reached out for the scars that are on Ezra's cheek.

"It's just so good to see you!" they beamed, hugging each other once again.

"Okay, hold it! Hold it!" piped Kanan, waving his hands in the air, "What's going here? Did I miss something?"

Ezra and Moreena stopped what they're doing and turned to Kanan.

"Kanan, this is Moreena," Ezra introduced the girl, "She was my good friend back when we were both living on Lothal."

"Ah," said Kanan.

"Mo," Ezra turned his head to Moreena, "This is Kanan Jarrus, my master."

"Master?" Moreena raised an eyebrow.

"It's a long story," said Ezra.

"Which you can tell later after the meeting," said Kanan.

"Oh, yes, right," Moreena then composed herself, "Commander Tano has assigned me to this mission: The kidnapped Twi'leks." Ezra's eyes widened when she said that.

"So you're the spy we'll be working with," inquired Kanan.

"That's right," answered Moreena, nodding her head.

"Well then, it's nice to meet you, Moreena," greeted Kanan as he extends his hand to Moreena.

"The pleasure is all mine, Kanan," greeted Moreena as she shakes his hand.

"Now, let's head back to the command center." said Kanan, as he turns away.

"C'mon," said Ezra, as he takes Moreena's hand, "I can't wait to introduce to you to the others."

Kanan, Ezra and Moreena made it back to the command center. Hera, Sabine and Zeb turned their heads to where they came in. Then they walked up to them.

"Well, well, who's this young lady?" asked Hera, kindly.

"Can I introduce Moreena?" Ezra whispered to Kanan.

"I don't see why not," answered Kanan.

Ezra grins and stepped up to the Ghost crew.

"I trust this girl is our spy?" assumed Zeb.

"Yes," answered Ezra, grinning, "This is Moreena Krai, my good friend from childhood."

Ezra turned around to Moreena.

"Moreena, this is Hera Syndulla, our pilot..."

"Nice to meet you," greeted Hera, shaking Moreena's hand.

"It's a pleasure," replied Moreena, kindly.

"Zeb, our strong guy..."

"How's it going?" greeted Zeb, shaking her hand.

"I'm fine, thank you," answered Moreena.

"Sabine Wren, the artist and explosive expert..."

"Hi there," greeted Sabine, shaking Moreena's hand, smiling.

"Hello," greeted Moreena.

"And finally," continued Ezra, "Our trusty yet grumpy droid, Chopper."

"Beep beep boop." greeted Chopper.

"He doesn't seem like a grumpy droid to me," giggled Moreena, squatting down and shakes Chopper's little arm, "Nice to meet you, Chopper."

"Trust me," replied Ezra, bluntly, "Once you get to know him a little better, you'll see what I mean."

"So how long have you two known each other?" inquired Hera.

"We've been friends when we were little," explained Moreena, standing right back up, "Before I ended up moving to Alderaan."

"Because the Empire took away your home," said Sabine, softly.

"Yes," replied Moreena, but then she frowns, "Wait, how did you know?"

"Ezra had told me a lot about you," answered Sabine, frankly.

"Oh?" Moreena glanced to Ezra with a side smile and a raised eyebrow. Ezra slightly blushed.

"Are you sure you two weren't boyfriend and girlfriend?" teased Zeb, smirking.

Ezra and Moreena shot their eyes at Zeb and blushed like crazy.

"No!!!" they both yelled, waving their hands in front of them. Other people turned their heads to the scene.

"We're just friends, that's all!" yelled Ezra.

"Yeah!" agreed Moreena, "That would be weird dating your best friend!"

"Uh, Zeb," Sabine chimed in, "I kind of already teased Ezra about it."

"Without me!?" whined Zeb.

"Okay, people!" Kanan raised his voice, "Can we please focus on the mission?"

"Of course," acknowledged Hera.

Everyone settled down as Hera walked over to the hologram projector.

"Alright, Moreena," Hera began, "You understand that our mission is to rescue the kidnapped Twi'lek girls, correct?"

"I understand," acknowledged Moreena with a serious face, "How many?"

"Twelve," Hera answered. She pressed a button where an image of the Zygerrian baron appeared on view. "So far we know that Severo Carnage has the twelve  girls," informed Hera, "All we need to find out is where is he keeping them in that facility."

"What do I need to do?" asked Moreena.

Hera pressed another button. The image of Carnage disappeared and was replaced by an image of the building.

"We need you to sneak inside the facility posing as a slave girl," ordered Hera, "While there you need to sneak in his office and download the information of the girls' whereabouts."

"Once this is done, You are to contact us and we will come get you," Hera finished.

"How will I get insdie?" asked Moreena.

"As I've said you'll pose as a slave girl," answered Hera, "Nevertheless, a slave got to have a master."

"We could contact Hondo Ohnaka and see if he could help," suggested Sabine.

Kanan and Hera exchanged glances, then back at Sabine.

"It's better than asking Vizago," murmured Kanan,"Alright, we'll have Hondo to pretend as Moreena's master,that way he'll sell her to Carnage so that she can retrieve the information. Ezra and I will tag along as Hondo's bodyguards. After he 'sells' you to Carnage, we'll stick around to make sure everything goes according to plan"

"Do you understand what to do?" Hera asked Moreena.

"Crystal," answered Moreena, confidently. Ezra bit his lips when Moreena answered.

"Then it's settled," confirmed Kanan, "I'll contact Hondo right away. We'll leave in an hour."

The image of the building went off and lights came back on. Kanan turned his head and saw Ezra seemingly in his own world.

"Are you okay, Ezra?" asked Kanan, "You've been awfully quiet this whole time."

"Huh? Oh yes I'm fine," Ezra answered then he walked over to Moreena.

"Hey, Moreena," Ezra said to Moreena, smiling, "Since we have an hour, we have plenty of time to catch up."

"Oh, right," agreed Moreena, smiling back, "I've got a lot to tell you about after I've left Lothal."

"Oh, believe me, I have way more things to tell you about," said Ezra as he grabs her hand, "C'mon, we've got a lot of catching up to do."

Ezra leads Moreena out of the command center. The Ghost crew watched the pair leave the room.

"Well, Ezra seemed happy to see his girlfriend again," teased Zeb, grinning.

"Zeb, stop teasing the boy," snapped Hera," Just because his friend is a girl that doesn't mean that they're a couple."

"Although, he's right about one thing," said Kanan. Zeb and Hera turned to Kanan, "I've never seen Ezra this happy before."

"That's because he thought he was never going to see her again," answered Sabine, smiling softly.

Inside the Ghost, Ezra told Moreena what he's been doing after she left. He told her how he met the Ghost crew and how he found out that he is a jedi. Moreena thought the jedis were extinct. Ezra explained that there are a small number of jedis still living, including himself, Kanan and Ahsoka Tano. He pulled out his lightsaber, showed it to Moreena and explained how he got it. He also tells her about the force.

Ezra told Moreena all of his adventures from beginning all the way to the end. Including how he saved the Wookies from certain death. The time when he and Zeb stole a TIE fighter from the Empire. His encounters with Inquisitors (which Ezra explained to Moreena that they're jedi hunters). Moreena laughed at the part where Ezra was nearly squished by a puffer pig. How he was almost killed by a powerful sith; Moreena gasped and covered her mouth with both hands at that part. Lastly, when he met and aided the princess of Alderaan. Moreena listened to every word he said, completely wide-eyed and her mouth was gapped open.

"Wow!!" exclaimed Moreena, her mouth stretching wide, "That is so awesome!!!"

"I knew you'd be amazed," said Ezra, smiling confidently.

"So you really have been busy kicking those stormtroopers off Lothal," said Moreena.

"Well, I wasn't alone on that," said Ezra.

"Looks like you have the fun part of the Rebellion," sighed Moreena.

"Oh, really? What's your part?" inquired Ezra, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm a nurse in the medical team," answered Moreena.

"Oh, cool," commented Ezra.

"Oh, it's nothing," said Moreena, waving a hand in the air.

"What? Don't be so modest," protested Ezra, "You guys are just as important as anything else. I mean, what would we do if somebody got hurt and there is no one to take care of them?"

"That's so sweet of you, Ezra," said Moreena, leaning against the table and rested her cheek on her fist, gently smiling.

"So, anyway, what have you been doing?" asked Ezra, "What was Alderaan like?"

Moreena leans back and glides her hands down to her knees.

"Alderaan is the most beautiful planet I've ever seen," explained Moreena, "There were mountains and trees, And the city was clean as ever. After my family and I settled in with Grandma, she's been nagging me and my sister to be proper ladies. She even got us to wear dresses!"

"She did?" laughed Ezra.

"Uh-huh," Moreena continued, "Those heels were pinching my toes!"

"Oh. c'mon, Moreena, I'll bet you've looked purty in that dress," chuckled Ezra.

Moreena scowled at Ezra, causing him to stop laughing.

"Anyway, sounds like you had a nice time there," said Ezra, his smile slightly altered.

Moreena was quiet for a moment with her bottom lip folded underneath her upper lip.

"Well..." Moreena finally spoke, "Not exactly."

"Huh?"

"I mean, Alderaan is beautiful," Moreena continued to explain. Then her eyes fell to the floor and the corner of her lips curved down. "But it's not home. I miss Lothal. I've tried to go back there."

"How?"

"I ran away," Moreena simply answered.

Ezra's eyes widened when Moreena said that.

"You ran away!?" repeated Ezra.

"Well at least I've tried to run away," continued Moreena, "Until my dad found me at the spaceport, just as I was about to board the star shuttle. After he brought me home, I was grounded for a month."

"the girl who ran away, gets caught and grounded," smirked Ezra, "Now that doesn't sound like the good girl I know."

"Hey, I'm not always a good girl," protested Moreena, her eyebrows knitted down, " I can be rebellious...at times."

"Speaking of which, how did join the Rebellion?" asked Ezra.

"I ran into a rebel on my way to school," explained Moreena, "Out of curiosity, I followed him. He explained to me that they're fighting against the Empire. That's when I've decided to join."

"But, wait," interrupted Ezra, "Does your parents know that you've joined?"

"Of course," answered Moreena, "Although, they were reluctant at first, but I was able to convince them to let me fight against the Empire."

"That's great, it's just that I'm surprised that they let you," explained Ezra, "I mean, you do realize that you've entered a dangerous war."

"I'm aware," said Moreena, "But I still want to help. I can take care of myself. Besides I'm a nurse, hardly anything bad happens to a nurse."

"Okay," said Ezra, grinning.

Then there was silence. Moreena's smile disappeares; Ezra noticed this. Was it something I've said, thought Ezra.

"What's wrong?" asked Ezra.

"Ezra, I don't mean to pry or be insensitive," said Moreena, "but did you ever find your parents?"

Ezra pursed his lips when Moreena asked him that question. Then he looked away from her to the floor and bit his lips. His fingers clenched to his knees. He hasn't talked about his parents after he learned about their fate. Moreena panicked when she saw Ezra like that.

"I-I'm sorry," stuttered Moreena, " I knew this is wrong to ask. Just... nevermind, you don't have to answer."

"No, it's okay," Ezra spoke up, "You're my friend, you deserve to know."
Moreena scooted closer to Ezra and squeezed her hands together.

"What happened to them?" Moreena asked softly.

Ezra took a deep breath.

"Once I had another vision," he began to explain, "I saw my parents, I thought, just maybe, they may still be alive. When we found out there was a prisoner recently escaped, I figured maybe he may know what happened to them. But when we found him, he told me something terrible happened to them."

"What happened?" asked Moreena.

"They died," choked Ezra.

Moreena gasped, horrified and her hands nearly covered her mouth.

"They've died during a prison break," Ezra swallowed a lump that was in his throat, "They were inspired by my message to break free from prison. But as they were getting everyone out safely, they've been killed."

"Ezra... I'm so sorry," Moreena said gently as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"I'd never actually thought they'd be..." he stopped talking.

Tears streamed down his face. Moreena leaned in and hugged Ezra. Ezra hugged her back and buried his face into her shoulder, quietly sobbing. Moreena rested her chin on his shoulder as she gently rubbed his back. Ezra kept sobbing until he couldn't sob anymore. Then he pulled away from her. Moreena held his hand; it felt warm upon his palm.

"Kanan..." sniffed Ezra, wiping the tears away from his eyes, "He told me that even though they're gone, they'll always be with me."

Moreena softly smiled at him. Ezra reached into his pocket, pulled out a chip and plugged it onto the table. A hologram of his parents appeared.

"I have this to remember them," he said, "Sabine found it and gave it to me."

"That was very sweet of her," commented Moreena, she reached out her free hand and gently turned his face to hers. "Ezra, as heartbroken as I am about what happened to your parents, I'm happy that you've found people like Kanan, Hera, Sabine Zeb and especially Chopper. That you've found a family again."

Ezra smiled at Moreena and gently stroke her cheek.

"Thanks, Mo," said Ezra, soflty.

They smiled at each other for a long time. Suddenly, Kanan and the crew walked in. Ezra and Moreena pulled away from each other (Ezra grabbed the chip and jammed it in his pocket) and pretended as if it never happened, their faces completely red.

"Alright, you two, time to go," announced Kanan when he glanced over to the teenagers, "I've talked to Hondo, and he agreed So we should be good to-Huh? Are you two alright?"

"Yes, we're fine!" they quickly responded.

"So, what have two been doing?" teased Zeb.

"All we did was talk, okay?" said Ezra.

"Sure you have," smirked Zeb, "You sure you kids weren't making out?"

"ZEB!!!" they screamed, their faces turning even more red.

"That's enough, Zeb!" snapped Hera, "Leave these kids alone!"

"Oh, c'mon, I was just playing," said Zeb, shrugging his arms.

"Zeb, why don't you come with us to the cockpit," said Kanan.

"Alright," said Zeb, "Whatever you say."

Zeb followed Kanan and Hera to the cockpit. Chopper tagged along with them, singing "K-I-S-S-I-N-G" song as he passed by Ezra and Moreena. Moreena gets up and starts to go with Sabine. But before she does, Ezra grabbed her wrist. She turned her head and looked at him; Ezra stood up.

"What is it?" asked Moreena.

"Moreena, are you sure you want to do this?" asked Ezra, "I mean, it's not too late to turn back."

"Ezra," Moreena began, turning to him, "I can't do that. I've made a commitment to this mission. I can do this, Ezra. Don't you trust me?"

Ezra was quiet for a moment; then he nodded. Moreena hugged Ezra.

"I'll be fine," assured Moreena, smiling.

"She's right," Sabine stepped in, "Besides, Kanan and Rex will right with her."

"Okay," replied Ezra.

"C'mon," Sabine said to Moreena, "Let's get you in disguise."

Moreena followed Sabine out of the room. As soon as they were gone, Ezra is all alone. He stood there staring Moreena went with his face slackened and his brow burrowed.

"Just be careful," he murmured.
