Through transparisteel

Wow, I can’t believe the news. The Emperor died at Endor. In fact, the entire fleet almost died at Endor. Will’s been watching the Holonet all night. He is worried about Uncle Pter. I can understand that. I’m worried too but I think he is alright. I can feel it and when I said that, Granma didn’t yell at me for once. She said it was alright to trust my feelings now.

I’ve been sick in bed all day since yesterday. Granma says I had heat exhaustion because the speeder bike overheated and I was too small to really control it when I went to see Dad last night. Will came by to stay with us and we’ve been watching the holonet and playing games all day. I can tell he’s really worried but he’s trying not to let on. But his voice in my head is all panicky.
Mom says he can stay in the guest room for tonight.

People are being weird. There were some fireworks during the day but then the soldiers were called out of the garrison and CorSec forces were out and about a lot. They arrested loads of people on account of them being terrorists and Rebels.

I’m having bad nightmares right now. Doctor Jenker came over earlier today and gave me some medication to take. He says it should go away in a few days but I’m not so sure. Mom thinks I’m making it all up to skip out of school. I do admit that the no-school thing is an added bonus. Can’t even imagine what Kyle is going on about right now. He is always one to talk about the right and wrong of this, that and how the ground troops are the best. Right now, he’s ranting on about how anyone worth the carbon they’re made of should be enlisting in the Empire and defending liberty and anyone else is just a dirty terrorist. I’d rather have the Empire than the Rebels, they have better ships but from what I heard of politics, the Emperor and Vader were dangerous. Maybe now they’re dead we could all build a better Empire.
He’s wrong. Pilots are the best and nothing can touch a pilot if they’re truly ace. Just like Baron Fel and that Rebel guy, Wedge what’s his name. I think I heard somewhere that he was the son of the Gus Treta guys. I wonder what happened to his sister…

The Empire sounds like a really bad government. They don’t show it often on the holonet but sometimes, we get stories like Toprawa hacked into the network by the Rebels. It’s infinitely wrong, what they did there.
I was too small to really remember visiting Alderaan but I do remember it was a place of great beauty.

I can see why Rebel supporters are happy but who is going to protect the people if there are no laws until they build a government? Already, there have been reports of lightfights and pillage in the lower sections of town.

Anyways, tonight, we’re going to see a Holo with Wynessa Starflare.

Dad drove us back last night. I’m sad that the holidays are over. On the other hand, Uncle Pter has gone back to his ship because there is a great gathering at a planet called Endor.

He asked me to call him Uncle Pter because he said quickly that if things had gone right, he’d have been my uncle. I wonder what he meant. I have to ask Granma next time she’s in a really good mood.

There’s less than a week left and one of Dad’s guys came over with this new swoop he built. It’s cool incarnate. He promised he’s show me how to fly it tomorrow.

I’ve been having nightmares since last week and one last message Granma had. Once she’d gotten it, she locked herself in her room for two hours and cried. I could feel her in my head, it was painful but I didn’t want to go up and tell her because I was afraid she’d get mad at me.
