The hologram turns toward Cady. "You have a special connection to the Force."
<span class="mu-i">
It's so special that I can't explain it to anyone!
</span>
"Ask me again when we're alone sometime." The hologram glances at Enja as she sets the empty plate down and turns back toward them.
"Eh? What are you telling these two?" Ejna shakes her head. "Don't listen to this one." She looks back at Millo. "I don't think he's even a real Jedi Master. Probably sneaked into the holocron somehow."
Cady and Triss glance at one another and Triss says "I'll see you tomorrow, Master Izer!"
"Uh? Oh, right. Thank you for the food, Princess Cady!"
Everyone is waiting in the commissary. Fili is the first to speak. "Even though the raw siltgnash was a surprise, I think everyone is eager to try more meals from your home planet."
Lyra kneels on the table bench. "You should make breakfast tomorrow!"
(She used up all the ingredients making the sushi.)
"This meal required a lot of preparation." Oberon pokes the center of his optics with two fingers. "It would be easier for Princess Cady to prepare meals if the pantry was stocked with more ingredients."
Lyra stares at Oberon for a moment and then blinks and beams a smile. "I can do that!"
<span class="mu-i">
Thank you, Oberon!
</span>
(They spent another hour asking Cady about breakfast ideas.)
When Cady finally gets back to her room, she does a double-take at the small furry object standing in the center of the blanket.
<span class="mu-i">
It's the stuffed bantha from the marketplace! It's too adorable!
</span>
Cady snatches it up and squeezes it to her face too quickly for the nametag to fully appear.
<span class="mu-i">
Aaaah! I don't mind kissing this bantha! It's even better in person than in L+L! But how did it get here?
</span>
(She's still squeezing it against her face.)
<span class="mu-i">
Someone must have bought it for me! But doesn't that mean it's a d-d-d-
</span>
Cady lowers the stuffed bantha away from her face and swallows.
<span class="mu-i">
Date gift?!
</span>
"I wonder if it was Jax or Ren." She looks at the stuffed bantha and jumps when someone knocks on her door.
"Princess Cady? Are you still awake?" Deline's muffled voice follows the knocking.
Cady looks at the stuffed bantha again and then frantically looks around the room and settles for stuffing it under her blanket. "Coming!"
Lyra and Triss are waiting with her. "We're bored!" whines Lyra.
Deline nods. "We all want to do something but don't know what."
"Cady, you always have fun ideas!"
She blinks and turns away when she realizes she's starting to cry.
<span class="mu-i">
Having friends who want to hang out with me is something I never experienced in my past life! Is this seriously the happiest I've ever been before?
</span>
Cady wipes her eyes with the back of her arm and turns back toward the three girls smiling at her.
<span class="mu-i">
Yes! I'm going to use my L+L knowledge to protect everyone and destroy all the death flags! But first...

>Let's have a slumber party!
>Who wants to go dancing?
>I wonder what the boys are doing...
