I Miss Biggs

Sometimes I lay awake at night, staring at whatever is above me. Sometimes it's another bunk, on that frigid world, Hoth it was the white ceiling of ice/snow in my quarters (there was nothing that could keep you warm on that forsaken planet), now it's the deep blackness of space as seen through the transparasteel canopy of my X-wing.

I wonder if he's out there, somewhere. Biggs, I have to admit, I was pretty pissed when you left for the "academy" (we all knew you were headed off to find the Rebels). But, damnit, we were supposed to go together. I just wish I could have been there with you, to see it all. But you're gone.

You have no idea how incredible it was seeing him again on Yavin. It felt like old times. I mean, I was there with the Princess and everyone. (She is a hottie!) And after, what, several hours, Biggs had me mouthing off to GENERAL DODONNA! He had passed me a note with "tell him about the womp rats back home" scrawled on it, and like an outer rim hick, I fell for it. It was fun though. That's the way it always was. He'd think up trouble and I'd end up doing it. He'd always stick up for me though - when I was caught.

Good call on that "womp rat" line - buddy. Just like old times.

Stang, Biggs, I miss you.
