Chapter 1: Keeping With The Movie
Blearily Nicole opened her eyes and let her aching orbs scam over her current surroundings. She saw tall, beautiful green trees on all sides of her.
" Nothin' like the trees back home," she muttered under her breath. She lay on the mossy ground for several still moments, trying to remember how, exactly, she had come to this unknown tranquil forest...but for the life of her, she could not jog that memory from her fogged mind.
Hoping that sitting up would help the oxygen flow to her brain, Nicole forced her, mysteriously, tired body up. Though sitting up did change the blood flow to Nicole's brain, it did not have the effect that she had hoped for. For, upon reaching a sitting position, the sudden rush of blood caused Nicole to become dizzy, nauseated, and remind her that her head hurt worse than her body.
" Oh! An asprin, an asprin, my country for an asprin.Where the hell am I?" Nicole finally asked, taking her head from the resting place of her hands. Now that her wave of dizziness was over, Nicole forced her body to stand...slowly this time so as not to make a repeat of before.
When safely on her own two feet, Nicole began to check herself over to make sure that she was all right. She shifted her small feet inside her worn down black-white-blue sneakers: nothing broken or sprained that. She then ran her hands over legs, feeling through her baggy blue jeans...nothing wrong, with the exception of some very sore muscles. Nicole then started checking her ribs, pushing slightly on each one in different places each time underneath her blue t-shirt, then twisting her upper body back and forth, forward and back...just in case she had missed something: nope, nothing wrong except those damn sore muscles!
After a quick check of her head and arms, which she was pretty sure, were okay anyway (but Nicole still ran her hands through her short brown hair). But anyway, after a quick check, Nicole strained her ears to try and hear anything that might lead her to civilization.
Nicole heard nothing that sounded like civilization, but she did hear, what sounded like, a large waterfall.
" Maybe the cold water can help my headache," Nicole muttered and wondered why she was talking to herself so much. So, steeling herself, Nicole started walking in, what she hoped, was the direction of the waterfall. And she walked...and walked...and for a change of pace, walked some more. The sound of the waterfall got louder the longer Nicole walked, but she could not find it!!!
But, despite this, Nicole continued to walk, coming upon a very large clearing just a few minutes later. Looking around, Nicole saw small herds of creatures that looked oddly familiar but were clearly not from Earth. Nicole stared at the creatures for what felt like several hours before whispering:
" I'm on Naboo...I've become a Mary-Sue...I'M A MARY-SUE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nicole's final shout caused the herds of strange creatures to jerk their heads in her direction and a few of them to bolt away. But one creature, which Nicole had not seen before (because he had been asleep under a bush), stood up quite quickly and gave a loud exclamation, which Nicole would later find out to be " Ye Gods!"
Nicole, who was currently ignoring the tall creature that was now staring at her with honey colored eyes on top of short eye-stalks, with a duck- billed face, and ears that looked like flippers, was nearly rolling on the ground giggling from surprise and happiness (almost rolling because the ground was quite wet.like a tropical swamp).
Nicole also didn't see the tall creature swagger over to her, adjusting his open, leather vest that had become crooked in sleep.
" Ex-squeeze me, but is yousa okey-day?" Nicole stopped her giggling and looked up at the soft orange and white Gungan, Jar-Jar Binks. She nearly started giggling again at the sound of his strange Jamaican accent, but held it in since it would be rude.
" N-no. I-I'll be fine in a minute. Just need to catch my breath. By the way, I'm Nicole," Nicole added politely, standing up and holding out her hand in friendship to the clumsy Gungan.
" Meesa called Jar-Jar Binks. Why yousa scream likin' dat?" Jar-Jar's curiosity was well known to Nicole, and any other Star Wars fan for that matter, but Nicole wondered if she should tell Jar-Jar that she, not only came from another planet, but another time and dimension.
" I was jus' really happy just then. Thanks for the concern though."
" No problemo! Hey, yousa needs any companies?"
"Sure, Jar-Jar. This is my first time on this planet after all," Nicole replied, holding back another giggle because of Jar-Jar's accent.
" So where are we gonna go, Jar-Ja-" Nicole stopped short when she heard the sound, that she had thought was a waterfall, coming closer.and fast. Suddenly, the herds of creatures that were in the glade began running away from the deep rumbling that was slowly turning into a loud roar. One of the tall trees on the edge of the glade was suddenly pushed down by a large machine; several more machines appeared, pushing down trees beside the first...And that's when Nicole saw him.
He was running as fast as the soggy soil of the forest would let him, his dark brown cloak and long, graying hair flying. Nicole saw brief flashes of his lightsabre at his side as the fact of who she was seeing, sunk into her giddy brain...That man was Qui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Knight and Master to Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Nicole heard Jar-Jar scream in terror, as Qui-Gon grew closer and saw them at last.
" Run! Get out of here!!" Nicole, who would had been happy to run away from the droid ships as fast as possible, tugged on Jar-Jar's arm, trying to get the scared alien to move. But, as luck would have it, the present situations (despite Nicole's presence) was keeping with the movie...As soon as Qui-Gon was close enough, Jar-Jar jumped onto the frustrated Jedi. Qui- Gon ran a few feet, Nicole close by, before falling to the marshy ground, again with Nicole right after him.
As the droid ships passed overhead, Nicole stifled her own scream as the pressure coming off the ship made her ears ring. But it was soon over; the ships passing quickly back into the forest.
Nicole was the first to get up since she didn't have a large, scared Gungan hanging around her neck.
" Jar-Jar let him go. They're gone now," Nicole said to Jar-Jar, trying to pry his fingers apart. Nicole finally managed to make Jar-Jar let go of Qui-Gon then helped them both up. Qui-Gon gave Nicole a quick nod of thanks before quickly walking into the woods. Jar-Jar, again keeping with the movie, followed right along behind him. Nicole, seeing no other option, followed them both.
