“Um-nothing,” she said, collecting her wits. “Nothing. Tell my friends, is what I meant. I have to get back to the room and tell my friends right away.”

“Certainly,” Solis said. “We’re almost there.”

In the Kidz Arkade, Donni Bratz was watching his brother Chuck play his fourth consecutive game of Wookiee Warpath.

“Is it my turn now?” he asked timidly. He tried to say it quietly, so as not to interrupt.

“Donni, shut it. I’m in the middle of the Gozar level, here.”

Chuck was playing hard now, using a little footwork and all the advantages his four thumbs could give him. Donni thought Chuck was a god when it came to Wookiee Warpath. Chuck had put his StarFries and FizzyBip down next to the machine. Some very bad part of Donni considered tipping the Fizzy-Bip over, but he would certainly never do such a thing.

Chuck, as Mom never stopped telling him, was the best big brother a guy could have. Besides, the last time he did something like that, Chuck had tied him to the old zink-sled with the missing right rear gimble and set it going until he threw up all over Mom’s newly upholstered lounge chair.

Donni watched Chuck play, trying to be content with admiring his brother’s skill, but after the Flying Knives and the Swamp level, and when Chuck had completely exploded all the Floating Toads of Doom, Donni couldn’t help saying, “You said I could have a turn after you. You said.

And that was four credits ago,” he added under his breath.

“Don’t be a pest, Meatface.” Donni’s antennae slumped over.

“Mom said you weren’t supposed to call me that.”

Chuck tore the arm off a green Wookiee with a smartly executed Twister Grab.

“Well, Meatface, Mom isn’t here, is she?”

Unnoticed by Chuck, who was in tense hand-to-hand with four berserk Wookiees, a short R2 unit lurched somewhat erratically into the Arkade and then stopped dead with its central video sensor locked in on the FizzyBip. Donni watched, puzzled, as the little droid sidled up to Wookiee Warpath and reached for the Bip with one jerky mechanical claw.
