Once Kijani drifted to sleep, Adam tried to focus on the nearly endless stretch of desert ahead of him. He was the only one still awake in the landspeeder, for even Threepio and Artoo had gone into low power mode. He glanced over at Kijani once or twice, noticing how at peace she seemed. [i]Poor girl must be having the worst day of her life.[/i] he thought to himself.

Tatooine was beautiful, in it's own way. Adam had lived here his entire life, and the idea of finally putting it behind him was terrifying. Whatever happened tomorrow would change his life forever, and maybe not necessarily in a good way. Adam didn't have much of a life here, but at least it was relatively safe and predictable. Now, he could be dead by the end of the week, and for what?

Adam caught a glimpse of Kijani stirring in her seat again, and his thoughts immediately went back to her. The holonet made her seem so... perfect. Like she was a masterpiece that had a big "Look, but don't touch" sign over it. She almost didn't even seem like a real person.

Now that she was sitting next to him, sleeping in his landspeeder, Adam realized that beneath all the glam, all the fashion and royal bearing, Kijani was a girl like any other. Sweet, kind, brave, she definitely seemed more real than any holonet interview or paparazzi pictures made her seem to be. Adam preferred the pretty "girl next door" version of her as opposed to the hyper-realized celebrity. 

The young Padawan pushed the thoughts from his mind. She was still a princess, after all. [i]Kijani probably had rich, handsome suitors from all over the galaxy lining up at her door. She's only here with you because she needs help. [/i] he reminded himself, and focused more on his driving.

As the hours ticked by and the twin suns finally began to rise, Adam spotted the outskirts of Mos Eisley. Pulling the Landspeeder over, he nudged his master and the princess awake. "We're here, guys." he said, and realized that the only person who hadn't gotten any sleep was himself. That, and his arm still hurt like hell.
