The relationship between Aestro Charlotte Walker and Human Lucas Hawthorne. They are portrayed by starring cast members Adelaide Kane and Daniel Sharman, and debut in the first episode of season one. A friendship started to develop in episode three of season one and this developed into more.

## Summary

At first, the relationship was incredibly one sided as Luke was attracted to her when she saved them from Ironbolt, but she pretty much hated him. The only reason she broke him out was because he handcuffed himself to Sky and she didn't have time to cut off his hand before the guards came. She was quite mean to him and the two always bicker, while Luke flirts with her. Despite her annoyance and hatred of him on the outside, deep down, she learns to care for him. When he cracks jokes or compliments her, her initial reaction is to smile but immediately hide the fact that he made her feel something.

## Quotes

### Pilot

Luke: I don't trust that guy.

Sky: What about that girl?

Luke: Her? Oh no, she's hot. I believe her.

Charlie: Welcome to Serenity 8.

Luke: What happened to the other 7?

Charlie: You were not invited so one more peep and I'll throw you out the airlock.

Luke: That's a lot of anger for a little girl.

[Charlie rolls her eyes and punches the punching bag.]

Luke: Now who could you be picturing? Our big bad enemy? A scoured lover?

Charlie: He's much closer.

[She punches the bag again. Luke smiles.]

Luke: Awe, you're thinking about me.

Charlie: You should get it by now, I always win.

Luke: Or I let you.

Charlie: And why would you do that?

Charlie: Well I don't exactly need you alive, do I?

Luke: Oh come on, you love our witty banter.

Charlie: For that to be the case, you'd have to be witty.

### Space Bar

Charlie: You're a real pain in the ass, you know?

Luke: I know.

Charlie: She has the one person I care about most in this world.

Luke: You care about someone?

[She glances a glare at him.]

Luke: Sorry.

Luke: I'm not fighting your stupid war.

Charlie: For once, Luke, don't act like a coward.

Luke: If you're into criminals, tell me now so I know I have a shot.

Charlie: You don't.

Luke: I'm not really into the sweet innocent little woh is me blonde girl type. I'm more into the badass, confident, sexy, sarcastic, brunette... Type.

Charlie: God, do you ever stop talking?

Luke: Nope. But I made you smile. And you have a pretty smile so it was worth it.

### Chargoth Nation

Charlie: You know, you're not exactly as dumb as I thought.

Luke: Yeah, you're not exactly as tough as I thought.

Charlie: Hey!

Luke: Scared of water?

Charlie: I had a valid reason!

Charlie: This world is now ours to take storm, Luke... and once we save it, we can do whatever we want with it!

Luke: Hey, if we're gonna die... We might as well...

Charlie: I'm not sleeping with you in a forest.

Luke: Does that mean you would in another place?

Luke: You are pretty cute when you sleep though.

Luke: Are you really gonna kill me?

Charlie: Hey, fight to the death, right?

Luke: Sue me if I don't want you dead.

Luke: I don't wanna kill you.

### The Rebellion

Charlie: What makes you better then him.

Luke: Didn't know you liked the guy so much.

Charlie: I-I don't. But Clara's actions don't determine the whole race.

Luke: No, but my parents didn't die while Clara ruled. All rulers are like that. The only thing worse than Aestros are royals. Alien and all.

Luke: I'm sorry, Charlie. Aestros took everything from me. You know that.

Luke: We're out because of her.

Luke: You could've talked to me, told me the truth.

Charlie: You're just like the rest of them. You wouldn't have trusted me either.

Luke: That's not true.

Luke: You're different... You broke me out of a hyper galactic prison for heaven's sakes. You could've killed me in that alien ring but you didn't. You saved my life. You saved Aces life, Sky's. And... and I know you, I know you're not just using Sky to get to the rebels.

Charlie: You're my friends.

Charlie: What happened to 'the only thing worse than Aestros are royals, Alien and all'?

Luke: I met a really great one. Alien and all.

Charlie: You're not a coward. You're gonna be a really great hero someday.

### Masquerade

Luke: Charlie's the most deadly one out there. With or without powers. Okay? She never even used them to get us out of these messy situations! She-she's amazing...  Look, I'm the first person to hate on Aestros any chance I get. They've taken everything from me... But... But Charlie's not like that... She may be the damn princess of that place but... She's doesn't deserve this, Kat. I guess... They're not all these super villains we paint them out to be. Not all Aestros are Clara. And as much as I hate to say this... Maybe they deserve a second chance... Maybe they need our help as much as earthlings do... Maybe they need liberation too...

Luke: When I found out she was one of them, yeah I was upset but... Everything changed... Like... If she was one of them... Maybe they aren't as bad as I thought...

Luke: If anyone is gonna get us to Aestrodin, it's Charlie. If you don't wanna give her a chance for me, do it for you, for the rebellion, for earth. Because there is no way we're gonna make it without her.

Luke: Hey, I don't care what these rebels say, you're our leader, not Kat. And we're gonna get you out of there.

Charlie: Thank you for doing this.

Luke: My pleasure. Couldn't have a face like that rotting away in that cell.

Kat: They obviously like each other.

Sky: Charlie and Luke? The same Charlie and Luke who fight every second they’re together? They hate each other.

Kat: Could’ve fooled me.

Luke: You look great tonight.

Charlie: Thank you.

Luke: Did you just accept my compliment?

Charlie: I'm trying.

Luke: Well, I like it.

Charlie: I'm not doing it for you.

Luke: No, of course not.

Luke: I heard you say red is your favourite colour.

Charlie: When?

Luke: I don't know, I heard it.

Sky: It’s because he likes you.

Luke: Respect your princess, dude.

### King of the Earth

Bo: So who broke your heart? Blondie?

Sky: He stood up for you. Kat was ready to execute you before he talked to her. I don’t know what he said but it must’ve been convincing. And yes you saved us a lot but… He saved you too.

Charlie: I’m not some dirty rebel anymore? I’m prim and proper and perfect and-

Luke: Too good for me.

Charlie: What?

Luke: It was a long shot before you were a princess but now… I’m scum on the bottom of your shoe.

Charlie: You guys aren’t nothing to me. You’ll never be nothing to me.

Charlie: I… I think I might… Like him…

Charlie: He’d be really proud of you… If he could see you now. I’m proud of you.

### Stowaway

Luke: Or maybe… It’s because you like me.

Sky: Charlie saved your life. I understand why you told her before me. You love her.

Sky: So what else do you like about Charlie?

Luke: Well, she’s not only hot but she’s got a brain. You know, she has all those weird facts about space and aliens and the ancient times. At first it was annoying but now… It’s quite charming. It’s cool that she knows all that stuff. She’s like a walking encyclopaedia.

Sky: So you like her because she can tell you things?

Luke: She’s also super cool. Like she can take down way more shots than the whole crew combined. She can also take down just about any person who gets in her way. She’s beautiful, smart, badass. And she gets this little sparkle in her eye when she smiles. Oh man, I love making her smile. It’s like I completed the impossible. I think it’s getting easier, though. And I love the way she’s the most badass warrior in the galaxy but you put her in front of a crowd and she gets completely tongue tied. I love how caring and determined she is. How she’ll do anything for the people she loves. I love that she saved my life and I love…

Sky: And you love…

Luke: Her.

Charlie: Why did you do that?

Luke: Do what?

Charlie: Jump in front of the bullet.

...

Luke: You know why.

Sky: But you do have a crush on him.

### Sabotage

Charlie: Whenever I care about someone, I always lose them… I can’t lose anybody else. I can’t lose you.

Luke: I don’t wanna live in a world where you’re not you. Where you’re not that girl who saved us, not because she had but because she wanted to. Who constantly reassures Sky because you care about how she feels. Who’s scared of public speaking but has the voice of an angel. Who spews random facts, who’s annoyingly perfect but… that girl I needed.

Luke: You never left any of us behind. So now I’m not leaving you. No matter how hard you try to hurt me or push me away… I’m staying. I know you need it. And I’m scared… I’m scared that if I’m not with you… You won’t make it… Just like I know I wouldn’t make it without you.

Luke: I care about you… I didn’t know how to say it before but… I’m saying it now… It’s not an ideal situation to tell you but… Here I go… I love you…

Luke: You’re the strongest person I know… And you can get through this… You can get through anything…

Luke: I’m always here for you.

Charlie: And you love me?

Luke: Of course I love you. Just like I love Sky. And how you love Sky. And how I hope you love me.

Charlie: Right. Platonic.

### Aestrodin

Charlie: You’re not gonna die. I just lost my brother, I am not losing you too…

Luke: Awe, that’s sweet, princess. I like you too.

Charlie: How can you smile at a time like this?

Luke: Because you care...

Charlie: Of course I care. I can’t lose you too…

Luke: Hey, every hero needs a sacrifice.

Charlie: No. Not you.

Luke: Who else?

Charlie: I’d sacrifice myself before losing you…

(Tik Tok: You could've run away. But you didn't. Why?)

Luke: Charlie would’ve killed me. And I didn’t wanna disappoint her.

Charlie: What happened to the coward who said this wasn’t his war to fight?

Luke: He met a princess who made him want to be better.

Rose: He’s more than a friend.

Luke: After everything… I’m not going out all cool in battle like a hero… I’m going out from a cold.

Charlie: You are a hero.

Charlie: I’m not leaving you behind.

Charlie: I am not going to let you die… Okay?

Luke: Charlie? I love you…

Charlie: Platonic, right?

Luke: No.

### Royal Wedding

Luke: Remember when we were breaking out of Ironbolt? Oh that feels like forever ago!

Charlie: When *we* were breaking out? I seem to remember you being a stowaway.

Luke: Ah, and look where we are now! You’d rather sacrifice yourself than see me die.

Charlie: Shut up! You are not echoing whatever I said when you were dying, I was just being nice!

Luke: Uh huh, right… for the record, I wouldn’t have let you die either…

Luke: Me and her belong together, dude. I’m sorry if you can’t see that but we were destined from the moment we met.

Luke: I won’t live in a world without her…

Charlie: I need you.

Luke: I'd have nothing here.

Charlie: You'd have me. ... But that's not enough.

Charlie: You can be happy here.

Luke: I can't. I want to be with you Charlie but… not here.

Luke: We should’ve kept our relationship strictly friendzoned. Me flirting with her and her barely caring.

Sky: I think you guys are perfect for each other.

Charlie: You can come back anytime you want… granted you want to.

Luke: You know I can’t stay away from you. I’m only one call away, Charlie. If you need me, I’ll be here in a heartbeat.

Luke: I don’t know how to stay goodbye to you right now…

Charlie: Until we meet again.

Luke: Until we meet again.

Luke: Please don’t fall in love with someone else.

### Back to Earth

Daniel: So what’s up with Luke? Charlie says he isn’t answering any of her messages.

Sky: Really? He told me he’s been in contact with her.

Charlie: Luke is still my friend. I- I thought he was my friend. We’ve been a crew for so long, I thought he was above this petty stuff.

Luke: Not to say you’re not great company but-

Sky: You miss her.

Cassie: Luke's told me a lot about you.

Luke: I have not!

Charlie: Probably nothing good. I used to boss him around a lot.

Cassie: On the contrary. I was waiting for the juicy details on the Aestrodin princess but nothing. He thinks highly of you.

Cassie: If you really wanted to be with her, you’d find a way.

Luke: Well, it seems like she’s perfectly happy without me so…

Luke: How have things been?

Charlie: As fine as they can be. You see someone I really cared about has been ignoring me for the past three months.

Luke: It never would’ve worked. I wasn’t gonna keep my hopes up. Talking to a soon to be queen, tha-that’s crazy! We could never actually happen.

Charlie: You don’t know that.

Luke: I do! Okay? Charlie, you and I… It was never anything.

Luke: You never said it back… I gave you so many chances… I said it so many times… But… You never said it back. It was obvious you never felt the same.

Kat: If you care about something, that makes you weak. It means you have something to lose. It’s why she couldn’t kill Luke in that alien ring.

Charlie: I would’ve made you King…

Luke: What?

Charlie: I was ready to make you King of Aestrodin if that was the only way we could be together. And if the people wouldn’t allow it, Sam would be King. I would’ve given it all up for you…

Luke: Why...?

Charlie: There are other ways to say I love you. And in my family, actions always spoke louder than words.
