"I don't want to."
"You must, Kleya. You need socializing skills. You and I cannot be all in all to each other."
"I feel stupid in this uniform."
"You're to be a flyer, Sissy promised."
"Everyone will look at me."
"Good practice."
"Why?"
"We just moved here. You're in school, we bought the shop and I need you to help me sell. I can't teach you manners all by myself."
"So this is what you call networking? Cozying up to Sissy Manu, who comes to our Shop By Starlight Night every Taungsday when we stay open late? The one who picks up every single fragile piece, nearly drops it and buys nothing? That one, the looky-loo?"
"Networking was necessary when I was an army regular. Our lives depended on each other. Now I only have you. Don't let me down."
"Here she comes."
"Madame Adoz! How goes it this fine evening? I was just telling Kleya that natural surfaces are hard to come by on Coruscant and here we are, standing on actual grass."
"I'm well, thank you for asking. And it's Mistress Adoz."
"Call me Luthen."
"Very well, and I'm Sissy. Your girl will fit right in, I'm certain of it. The rest of the squad is a bit late, I'll have to speak to them about that. Oh, I see five girls at the far corner of the field, they'll be here momentarily. They take large steps."
"Kleya, say hello to Sissy."
"'Lo."
"She's shy, how sweet! We'll appoint her Flyer-in-Training, here, let me smooth your ruffles and hair bow, stand still, dear."
"She'll do what she's told, isn't that right, daughter?"
"I will n- wait, are those Keredians?"
"Good eye, Kleya! You're the only human on our prize Novice Squad of all-Keredians, the first in the galaxy that I know of. Soon you'll learn to fly, tick tock, spot, and hit zero in all the competitions. Federal District High School will be proud of you! Luthen, are you certain you signed all the release of liability forms?"
"Y-Yes. Sissy, each girl looks to outweigh Kleya four to one - "
"And most importantly, the next of kin notifications form?"
"Sissy, perhaps this may take more thought - "
"Luthen, I'll be all right."
"And so says your girl, Luthen. Let her grow. I realize it's difficult being a single parent because I'm one, too. We must let them be free at some point. And relax! You don't think I'd allow anyone else to be injured, do you?"
"What - who is Kleya replacing, Sissy?"
"Ahah, here is the squad! Girls, say hello to our newest flyer, Kleya Rael."
"I'm Kleya Marki, Coach."
"Oh."
"I'm Pola. Put 'er there, Marki."
"I'm Tiny. Up you go, Marki!"
"Girls, girls! Easy, she's new to cheer, don't - "
"Sissy, she'll never be a, a base for a pyramid, will she?"
"Luthen, I promised you she'll always fly. We'll treasure her, oh look, she's getting into it already! See those stiff knees, no wishy-washy first days for her. I can tell you've not been a hovercraft parent, good for you."
"I'm having fun, Luthen!"
"She appears all right - well. She needs this, Sissy. Fitting into school when you're new is always difficult. You must remember your school days."
"No, I've always lived on Coruscant and attended Federal District High myself."
"Oh."
"You look well-traveled, on the other hand. We must get together sometime and compare our pasts."
"I'll look forward to it, when time permits. I'm busy setting up the shop at the moment."
"Of course."
"Bye, Luthen! See you at home, Tiny and the team invited me for herglic ice cream floats after practice. Bye!"
"Put your wallet away, Luthen, I chaperone and pay for everything. Your girl will be fine. May I say that it's wizard to find a father willing to get involved with the squad? We see mothers with their offspring at every practice and you're the first father. I rather like it."
"I suppose you'd like me to drive them to tournaments if they do well. My vehicle is at your disposal. It seats twelve."
"Wizard! Twelve Keredians?"
"Erm, no. But six Keredians, three humans and a BD-1 unit would work."
"I'd love a road trip with you, Luthen. I'm sure that six months from now, we'll be seeded for the cheerleading championships in Monument Park. Wizard!"
"Yes. Wizard."
