Nate and Sadia were walking out of the library after studying.
"So, how was trash pickup?" Nate asked.
Sadia smiled slightly and shrugged. "The results were great... It just stinks that people keep littering anyway."
"I know it must be frusterating," Nate replied, frowning. "But what you're doing still makes a difference. It adds up."
"Yeah, I know. And I'm happy to do it-" Sadia agreed.
Suddenly, three Imperials appeared and grabbed Nate.
"Hey! Leave him alone!" Sadia said, pushing past them and trying to pull Nate free.
"Stay out of this, human," an Imperial said, pushing her back.
Sadia hit the wall of a campus building hard and winced. "I'm not staying out of this! Leave my friend alone!"
She tried to fight them off.
"We don't have time for this... Just grab the girl too," an Imperial sighed.
After restraining both of them, they returned to the Imperial ship. The two were thrown into a cell.
"Did we just get abducted by aliens?" Sadia said, glancing around.
Nate nodded slowly. "I think so... Are you okay? You could've gotten hurt-"
"I'm fine. And I wasn't going to let them take you... I'm sorry I wasn't able to do more," Sadia apologized, sighing and sitting down.
Nate shook his head and sat beside her. "I just appreciate you trying..."
Sadia sighed. "If there are overseers of Earth, I hope they were watching..."
"Me too..." Nate agreed.
