James was looking down at his pad, finishing up the sketch without looking up. When he was done he held the sketch up in his view to see if it looked similar to the stuff around him. Sighing he closed the sketch book and started down from his position, watching where he was going, not what was ahead of him. He'd just reached his pack when he looked up and saw Her. He froze, staring at the girl that was as beautiful--no, even more beautiful--than he remembered. She was clear and there and real.

"Force Fire protect my soul," he whispered, his eyes locked on the girl as his sketchbook fell from his hands and tumbled down to the ground. He hadn't thought she would come so soon, if at all. Maybe the forces were working with him this day? He stayed where he was, not wanting to scare the girl.
