24. Rebel Day (1/2)
ruhlsar000 here! hey, long time. sorry. i didn't have this up two weeks ago and last week was sakura con, which was awesome. i finally found an obi for my furisode. but star wars rebels is ending! i get it i really do, a major part of the story is about watching ezra and sabine grow up. and they aren't kids any more. but another part of me is screaming my motto at the top of my lungs
"father, not that i'm not excited to be taken out of school for two days. but why are we here?" david asks, dodging a couple of people carrying a banner saying "rebel day fair". the white city towers around us, a pinnacle metropolitanism and prosperity in the outer rim so very different from the city i saw as a child. it truly is a blessing to see it thrive.
i look up at the street sign. the words "kanan jarrus street" are printed in bold. as awesome as that is, it is not helpful.
"i was asked to speak at a museum opening. and i wanted to show you this planet." i answer, checking my chrono. we are going to be late.
"let me know if you need help with your speech," david smirks, cheekily.
"i think i've got it covered." i ruffle his hair and then look around. "i swear i'm gone for a decade and they change everything. excuse me, miss," i call a young woman pushing a cart of cans of paint up the street. no doubt she is painting park benches or something for her rebel day project. "could you tell me how to get to the museum of rebellion?"
the woman raises an eye
ow, "aren't you local?" she gestures to her eyes. ah, lothal blue. her voice is not judgmental but confused. wow, the museum isn't even open yet and it's become a navigation landmark for locals.
"i was, but i've been living off world for over a decade," i explain.
"oh," she nods, understandingly. "the quickest way is to go down kanan jarrus way until you reach
idger memorial park. there will be a lot of booths and rides set up for tomorrow's fair. just keep going past all of that. the museum will be on the far side of the park. you know the names of members of the specters, right?"
"yeah," i smirk, amused.
"basically, any street with one of their names in it goes to the park." she smiles.
"thanks." i smile.
