Ghostly Intervention

Chapter one.

The Tatooine night sky was a deep purple, indicating that the suns had set many hours before and that the cold of the desert night had set in. Cries from nocturnal animals sounded across the desert sands. Inside a small homestead on the outskirts of Mos Eisley two year old Luke Skywalker was unaware of the Tatooine night-life.

Luke was dreaming that both of his parents were with him along with his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen. They were playing together in grasslands, real grass, and there were beautiful lakes surrounding them. Another person joined them, a girl about the same age as Luke, who was coming from the direction of one of the lakes, smiling and laughing while trying to run away from a white haired girl. Luke felt a sense of overwhelming peace and calmness at the sight of the young brown eyed girl, though there was a hint of sadness and regret. It was a perfect day; the sun was bright and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. All too soon though the dream seemed to fade away replaced with a feeling of emptiness, and then it was dark.

Luke woke up with a start and realised he had been crying and was confused as his uncle always told him to never cry as it was a sign of weakness. Luke knew he wasn't upset though. He could still remember the loving smile of the woman he thought to be his mother, the look in her eyes as she watched them playing. That had been a happy dream, so why did he feel so lonely all of a sudden? Luke looked around his small room and saw his model fighters, his racing books, toys and old mechanical parts, half expecting to see the man that he thought had been his father; watching him, or maybe his mother. He was disappointed when he saw everything was where it was supposed to be. Then why did he feel like he was being watched? Luke pushed his tangled covers aside and crept slowly to his open door, peering outside he made sure his uncle wasn't up still; somehow knowing he wasn't, and made his way to the living quarters, his sixth sense telling him that it was important. Shaking off the slight chill that always came with the nights on Tatooine he entered the living room and couldn't stop the gasp that left his lips.

There, standing in the corner of the room, beside the worn lounge chairs, was a strange group of people. Some were human and some were obviously not. Luke recognised a Togruta, Tholothian, Arkanian, Korun Human and a Twi'lek, the rest were human. Taking a cautious step into the room, Luke fought the strong urge to pinch himself as all the strange people were see-through and glowing a pale blue colour.

One of them stepped forward slowly, a tall human male that had long hair, a beard and a kind smile that made his eyes crinkle. He introduced himself as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. That made Luke's eyes widen as he had heard the term Jedi many times at day-school before, though he had always had the feeling that he was missing something important in his lessons.

"Luke, my name is Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and we are all here to help you. You see, I knew your father when he was a boy and you look a lot like him. I bet you like to fly and are very good at fixing things, just like him." Qui-Gon said, a fond smile on his face.

Luke took another cautious step into the room, wanting to hear more from these strange people yet wondering if he was still dreaming. How did he know that I like to fix things and that I love to fly? Did he really know my father? Should I ask him if he knew my mother too? Luke was desperate for answers but didn't know what to ask first. Before he could speak up another woman, a younger human stepped forward and introduced herself.

"My name is Jedi Siri Tachi and I was a very close friend of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who you may know as Ben Kenobi. We grew up in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant together and we helped many worlds keep the peace.' She said kindly. "We are here to ask if you would like to help people too, just like your parents did," she said with a small smile, "if you would like to become a Jedi."

Luke, wanting to be like his parents and make them happy, nodded. She knelt down and touched his head, her hand going through him a little. Luke froze, a little frightened as she closed her eyes and a strange but wonderful feeling washed over him. Luke felt like he was free, as if he had found something he didn't know was missing. Just as suddenly as the feeling had come, it was gone, looking up at the lady he saw her step back and smile, "That was what the Jedi like to call the Force, and we will be teaching you how to use it when you're older. We wanted to meet you today, to let you know that we will always be there watching out for you, no matter what." With that said, the group started to fade out, leaving only the tall man and Luke in the room.

Kneeling down in front of Luke, Qui-Gon gave him a long look before he stood up again saying, "You do your parents proud, Luke, and remember we will meet again. May the Force be with you." He gave Luke a reassuring smile before he too faded away. Luke shivered in the cool air and slowly wandered back to his room, thinking about being the best Jedi ever and of making his parents proud.
