All I Want Is You

[Evelynn]

Hoth

The datapad chirped.

Given how bundled up Evelynn Dorn was it was more than a pain to actually operate the device. Thick gloves ate away at any and all dexterity the girl once had but the inconvenience was a small price to pay. She could still recall reading an article regarding the dangers of frostbite, the accompanying pictures had almost caused her to lose her lunch.

Dearest Evelynn

You are the best and I miss your pretty face. I think fondly of you always. Can't wait to hear from you - we should go play in the forest soon and look for animals.

Your handsome boyfriend,

Sopher

The girl smiled softly, the people that she had met in this galaxy since leaving Dantooine had been mostly terrifying, Gods and Beast Masters galore, throwing her off of cliffs and thrusting her into a world of training montages. Well, that was with the exception of one Sopher Jakobs, who was without a doubt one of the goofiest boys in the universe. The boy with softest hair, who held the full deck of diabetes-inducing pick up lines. He was...he was something else.

Nonetheless, he had still made her heart race and therefore he was definitely worth the effort of fumbling with a datapad in those gloves.

Dear Sopher,

I miss you too!

Guess what I'm doing!

I'm on Hoth looking for Ropos! We haven't found any yet but I saw some pictures of them in a book, they're sooo cute! I hope we find some soon though, it's so cold out here! Chomp doesn't like it, I think he's mad at me.

I wish you were here to keep me warm!

Lots of love,

Evelynn x

Sopher yawned and woke up early before lessons. His data pad was ringing at him and a small ropo was bouncing across the screen to tell him he had a message. Reaching over he opened it and saw that @Evelynn had responded! Reading the message he grinned and felt all kinds of special.

Dear Evelynn,

That's so awesome Ropos are one of my favorite animals! I'll have to win you one at the next festival! Should be coming up soon if your trainers let you come to Coruscant. My master has left me on Ossus, so I'm sad, but she's smart and knows what she's doing. I have saber training to do, I'll have you show you how much stronger I've become!

Also Hoth is super cold! I'd be grumpy too if I was Chomp, give the guy a scratch behind the ear for me! I wish I could hold you in my arms right now, I'd keep you so warm.
Bet you smell nice too like always!

Love, Sopher

 

[Evelynn]

The rest of her party (as if she'd be on Hoth by herself) were not impressed by the girl sending soppy messages whilst they stood in the blistering cold. The girl beamed crimson with embarrassment and shoved the datapad away into her bag, perhaps if they encountered any danger with the cold she could have just transformed into their flustered beacon of heat.

She would just have to wait until she could check for his reply.

A tough trek, a wonderful cavern, an extremely disgruntled wampa and a couple of days later and Evelynn was back in the comfort and more importantly the warmth of her own personal vessel, provided by her Master Soliael of course but never mind those nitty gritty details, had Sopher replied?

Yes, yes he had. A small smile appeared upon her face as she hugged the datapad to her chest.

Dear Sopher,

We found a romp of ropos in a cavern! I can't even begin to tell you how cute they were, there was a baby one that could fit in my hand! I wanted to take it with me but the guides told me that they're endangered on Hoth.

Chomp is fine, he was just being a big baby but I sent him your regards!

I can't wait until I next see you! I should be able to make it to Corscant. Will you show me everything that you've learned?

I'm on my way to Naboo now, there are so many different kinds of animals that live there! I'm terribly excited! I wonder what I'll find...

I miss you, I miss your hair, I hope it's still soft!

Lots of love,

Evelynn x

Sopher had his data pad up and was watching something rather interesting. He hid under his covers and continued to watch the video that streamed on his tablet. Eyes wide and breath caught, Sopher nearly chirped a bit when the data pad a started to vibrate. It was a message from Evelyn and he quickly took the tablet by both hands and smiled reading the message. The girl was so amazing and once again he had to catch his breath. It took him only seconds to get through it and he read it again remembering her voice softly.

"Oh @[member="Evelynn"] "

He wrote a message out and smiled the whole time.

Dear the new Ropo Queen Evelynn,

That's amazing! I knew you could do it - you can do anything! Naboo is beautiful by the way, though not as beautiful as you my Evelynn. The Suns of Tattooine rise and fall with your command, you are my everything and I love you as much as the Force can reach!

I'll show you everything, I've been more adept to Saber work than force powers so I can grow up and be a real knight - I'll protect you and Chomp I promise!

See you on Coruscant soon! Have fun and be safe on Naboo!

We'll save the Ropos one day and you'll be able to take them everywhere with you!!

Love and much more

Sopher xoxoxo


He went to hit the send button, but he remembered what some of the other boys were talking about when they talked to their girlfriends. Looking around making sure no one was looking, he snapped a picture and sent it along with the mail.

 

[Evelynn]

Oh my goodness.

Evelynn who was partaking in the far more innocent task of studying the various creatures of Naboo almost dropped her datapad as it vibrated and chirped in her hands. She would have to set Sopher his own personal ringtone so that in future she would know it was him. There had been a few occasions where the girl had received a message, rushed over thinking that it was him and it turning out to be dubious princes demanding bank details so they could share their vast fortunes.

She read the message, no doubt wearing the same smile that Sopher possessed while he was writing it.

With the thought of her valiant Jedi Knight and protector firmly on her mind, Miss Dorn noticed the attachment that came with the message. She opened it.

Chomp skittered across the gun metal grey floors as Evelynn screeched and threw the datapad across the ship. Components scattering and shattering upon impact. Don't worry, it wasn't disgust. Just sheer fright at the monster that popped up so suddenly. I mean, she wasn't naïve, she knew what it was and what it did. It was just...so...unexpected.

Of course, now her datapad was broken. Her reply would have to wait until Naboo, when she could buy a new one. I mean, she could have gotten it repaired but what if they saw what she had saw. Oh no, her social anxieties wouldn't call for that.

My Ropo Knight Sopher,

I'm sorry I haven't been in touch, I broke my datapad! I can't believe it, I'm such a clutz!

I can't wait for Coruscant! Being separated from you is more difficult than I thought it would be. I see reminders of you wherever I go and I just find myself, standing there, lost in thoughts of you and smiling.

Theed is amazing! There are so many people and so many shops! I saw a man who had a tooke circus! I could have watched it for days!

Today we're venturing out to find tusk cats. They're really beautiful animals, I'm going to try and tame one. I'm super nervous!! I don't want to disappoint anyone.

Coruscant soon!

Lots of love,

Evelynn x

Yawning Sopher stepped out of the shower and the music stopped from his data pad. Walking over and wrapping a towel around his waist he smiled happily. The message was from Evelynn, she hadn’t contacted him in some time and he worried a bit. He wouldn’t tell anyone that he cried himself to sleep some nights wondering if she didn’t like the photo he sent her. A sigh of relief came as she explained what happened, he nodded and quickly made an order to Hionbox for her datapad. It would arrive the day that the girl was set to visit. Walking towards his room, he quickly dried off and changed.

Sitting on the edge of his bed, he quickly wrote out a message.

Dear my Ropo Goddess @[member="Evelynn"],

I’m sorry to hear about your datapad, I’ve gotten you a present to help protect it. I think you’re the most beautiful klutz. I remember when I first saw you, I thought you were an Angel - you are so bright and your golden hair shimmers in the sun. I am not worthy to gaze upon your perfect jaw line or receive the soft gaze of your eyes.

I dream of you often and I can’t wait to finally hold you again in my arms. I have a fun day planned, hope you’re sneaky! We’re going to go into the Archives where you can look at some cool holos of animals. I am so empty without you, only a few more days!

Love your Ropo Protector,

Sopher

The days passed slowly and Sopher was soon greeting Evelynn at the hangers. He took her around Coruscant, especially to the zoo. There he bought her a ropo hat along with a matching set of gloves. He presented her with the HionBox that had ropos covering it with cute faces. They continued to spend the day together holding hands and just being adorable. Once night fell, he snuck her into the Temple and into the archives. There he had set up a projector to show her all the archives of the animals the Jedi had documented.

Soft lights and a wampa destroying a Taun-Taun on the screen, Sopher looked over towards Evelynn and brushed a strand of her hair from her face. A smile crossed his face and he kissed her on the soft seat in the Archives. The lights dimmed and the room faded into black.

 

[Evelynn]

The anticipation was too much. When the girl thought about Coruscant, the notion of not only getting to see Sopher again but to be held by him, to kiss him, to simply just be with the love of her life. It caused the days to kick in their heels and drag by so agonisingly slow that there were a few occasions when the girl reckoned that time itself had become their enemy, just to keep then apart.

However time did pass, and when they finally met again in that hanger bay nothing could have stopped her from dashing into his arms, and well, nothing did.

His embrace was perfect, which coincidently was the word used to describe their day together. If times in her life were ever to grow dark, if she would ever find herself lonely, or frightened then she would always have this day. Now all we need to is to compact it into a montage and lay a nice acoustic track on top.

The cherry on top of such a grand day came in the form of the night they spent together. Sneaking into the temple together, her heart raced. Between her excitement, Sopher and that little slice of danger is was a surprise she didn't explode. The wampa and the taun-taun were so swiftly forgotten. One cannot simply gather two teenagers, place them in a room together and expect them to watch the movie.

Tender passions of young love escalated as the curtains of the scene were drawn.

---

Time, as it tended to do passed and ways had to be parted. Misty-eyed farewells and copious embraces littered the scene as once again Sopher and Evelynn parted ways, of course there were vast quantities of promises that they would see each other again soon. If only they had been born common people, where the only grand adventures had would have been with each other.

A message waited for Sopher on his datapad, sent as the girl observed the skies of Coruscant, and the tall buildings that punctuated them.

I love you.

 

[Allyson Locke]

Sopher could dance and he nearly did all the way back to his room. On his bed, his tablet's notification light blinked. Leaning over he grabbed it and opened the message from Evelynn. He nearly dropped the data pad as he read the line over and over again. His words were caught in his throat as he stood there just grinning. Finally, he had found the one person in this galaxy that understood him. Sopher sat on his bed and quickly wrote her back.

I love you too, forever.

***​

Some time had passed and he hadn't heard from Evelynn, several messages filled her inbox from the boy. At first they were happening once every week and now they've hit the point that they were an every day thing. Sopher couldn't concentrate on training, he couldn't get her out of his head. Fearing the worst, he sat at his desk and sent another message - just like the others.

Dear Evelynn,

Where have you been? Its nearly been three months since I've talked with you, I miss you so much. Did I do something wrong? Are you okay? Please just let me know you're still alive...

I love you..please if I've done something wrong let me fix it - I promise...@[member="Evelynn"]...please...

Love Sopher

He shut down his datapad as he pulled his knees to his chest. The datapad rested between his knees and his chest and he fought every urge to cry, he didn't know what to feel or to expect. He didn't want to think she didn't like him anymore and he didn't want to think of her as dead. Either outcome was terrible for him, but he just wanted to know that she was okay at this point.

 

[Louise]

After Coruscant, after what was the happiest day of her life she was set to visit Ithor.

From there things took a sour turn. Enter Kaine Zambrano, and we all know what went down there. You just can't have it all, you can't have a life of wonder, an amazing kath hound companion and Sopher Jakobs. No, that's just too many nice things to have.

Take it all away.

---

Initially Evelynn did not respond to his messages because she couldn't. Her belongings were confiscated, and she was left to rot upon Thule as the Lord Zambrano's Empire collapsed around him. Messages piled up upon the neglected data pad as the girl's mental state slowly began to deteriorate. Of course, she had spent agonising days thinking about him, about Sopher wishing for him to come and rescue her. Oh it would been just like the fairy tales.

Except that didn't happen.

She was twisted, day by day the girl was twisted to believe that the monstrosities that Kaine Zambrano had committed were in her best interests. Resistance faltered, and the girl got her datapad back, but it was too late. There was no Bonnie Tyler, no I need a hero, no holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.

The messages were getting frequent now. Every time a new message came up, the girl flinched. She had to tell him. This had to stop. A new message:

Forget about me.
