Summary:

Luminara and Barriss are sent back to Mirial on the important mission of learning how to get along properly. There, they find out that they're sisters. But something else is going on…

"Barriss Offee what are you doing?" Luminara yelled at her padawan.

Barriss looked up from her book at her master's voice. "Um, reading…"

"Barriss, I told you an hour ago to come to the training arena!"

"Oh… oops…"

"Oops? Oops? That doesn't cut it Barriss, because of your absence the entire training session was thrown off! Why didn't you come when I called you?"

Barriss shrugged. "I forgot…"

Luminara walked over to her padawan and looked down at her. "You forgot. Did you forget to eat breakfast? Did you forget to get dressed this morning?"

"No…" The padawan looked down.

"Then how could you forget a training session that we've been planning with master Windu for the last week? Especially after I called you and informed you to come."

Barriss shrugged again. "I dunno…"

Luminara sighed. "Barriss this is becoming a problem, if you miss many more training sessions your training as a Jedi padawan will be affected."

"Then why don't you teach me?" Barriss countered.

"I try to! You don't listen to anything I say!"

"Yes I do!"

"Then show me a form III stance. I taught you this yesterday."

Barriss blinked. "Um…"

"Exactly."

"Master I don't understand the way you teach! It's too complicated! I can't learn something I don't understand!"

"What?"

"You tell me to do something but don't explain why it's important!"

"Barriss I explain things!"

"Not the way your supposed to!"

"And what way it that?"

"IN TERMS THAT A TEENAGER CAN UNDERSTAND!"

"IF YOU PAYED MORE ATTENSION YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAY!"

"MASTER I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAY HALF THE TIME YOU TALK!"

"THEN PAY ATTENSION-"

"ENOUGH!" Both Mirialans looked around to face the door to the quarters and spotted a fuming Mace Windu standing there. "This has to stop! You have fought like this for long enough! Both of you, report to the council room in five minutes!" He stormed off.

Luminara blinked and looked down at her padawan. "Congratulations Barriss. Now we're in trouble with the council."

"How is this my fault?"

"Just shut up and come on… If we're late we'll be in big trouble…"

Five minutes later they were standing in the middle of the council chamber facing the twelve highest ranking Jedi in the order. None of them looked happy to be there.

"Master Unduli. As many of us have noticed, for a long period of time you have been getting into rather ridiculous arguments with your padawan, Barriss Offee. This has gone on for long enough. We have all come to the conclusion to suspend you both from your duties as Jedi until you can learn to get along. We are sending you back to your home planet of Mirial to hopefully learn to get along better." Mace said.

Luminara's jaw had dropped during this speech. "But… Master Windu… don't you think that's a bit harsh…?"

He blinked. "No. And if you think that this isn't sufficient enough I can just as easily eject you from the order completely."

"Yes, Master Windu…" She looked down.

"Good. Now, the transport for Mirial will be leaving in an hour. You are to both be on that shuttle by then."

"Yes, Master Windu…" She said again.
