The first chapter of Part II, the first three chapters will tie in together. It takes place a few days after Storm Over Ryloth.
Ryloth has been freed! With that being finished Revan and his friends are now back on Coruscant for some well deserved rest and relaxation. Revan plans to spend his time off on Naboo, take in the sights, relax and not worry about anything Jedi related all by himself. Or so he thinks...
"Are you sure I have the next few days off? I mean just a few days ago, I was in trouble for well... you know." Revan said, sounding skeptical. "Anakin told me you were troubled by something and you admitted your not even sure what it is. This might help clear your mind. Remember your teachings, meditate, control your emotions and you will have your answer." Obi-Wan said, patting him on the shoulder reassuringly before walking out of his padawan's room. 'Maybe he's right. I guess I could go to Naboo.' he thought before packing up some extra clothes and making sure he had enough credits then walked out of his room and made his way through the temple's hallways. 'Perhaps I should say goodbye to Ahsoka first.' he thought, stopping to sense were she was. After picking her Force-signature up he made his way to the archives. Entering through the door he waved to Jocasta before spotting Ahsoka reading something.
"Hey there." he said, startled she jumped out of her seat and spun around with her lightsaber in hand. "Revan! You startled me. You have really gotta stop hiding your Force-signature." she said before relaxing and putting her saber back on her belt. "Funny enough that's how me and Master Ti met. Even took her lightsaber out" he replied chuckling a bit. Ahsoka just glared at him a bit while before composing herself. "So what are you doing here? I thought you were still in trouble?", "I was, but for some reason Obi-Wan gave me a few days off." he replied, deciding not to tell her the whole reason. "Oh. So where do you plan on going?" she asked, leaning back against the desk. "I'm gonna head to Naboo. It was pretty nice there, minus the whole virus part." he replied. "Well in that case, see you when you get back." she said, hugging him briefly before going back to what she was doing. "Er… Okay." he said, curious but also happy about the sudden hug before walking back to the door.
He decided to finally head outside after making his way down the steps he broke off into a run, heading towards the nearest spaceport. Hoping their was still an open spot on a shuttle to Naboo. 'Yes! Made it!' he thought relieved as he ran into the port. "One trip to Naboo." he said to the droid as he stopped. Credits, sir." it replied, Revan handed it a credit chip and the droid scanned it before handing it back to him. "Have a nice trip, sir." the droid said before it allowed him through. Revan walked into the shuttle and put his bag on the shelf above him before sitting in the window seat. 'Hopefully something interesting will happen. I want it to be relaxing not boring.' he thought before folding his arms behind his head and falling asleep.
"Hey, pal. Wake up, we've landed." the passenger beside him said, shaking him awake. Thanks, man." he replied groggily, rubbing eyes before standing and stretching. Revan grabbed his bag and opened it up, making sure no one took his lightsaber. 'Good thing it's still here, Obi-Wan would've killed me if I lost it.' he thought mentally sighing before exiting the shuttle. 'Crap, I didn't even think about where I was going to stay.' he thought, placing a hand on his mouth starting to worry as he looked around Theed before deciding to head off and find a place to stay. 'This looks like a good place.' he thought walking into a hotel that further away from the palace.
Revan walked up to the front desk receptionist. "Excuse me, I'd like to rent a room for the next three days. Jedi business." he said, lying at the end and backing up a bit so she could see his lightsaber. He didn't want to lie but had a feeling they might not let a normal teenager stay here by himself for so long. "Oh, Jedi business? Are you with the other one that showed up yesterday?" she asked. 'Other one?' he thought, wondering before quickly replying, "Yes. Yes I am.", "Alright then. You'll want to head up to the top floor and find the double doors at the end, as for your roommate she already left." she said before giving him the keypad code. Revan looked at the code as he walked to the lift. 'She? I know quite a few female Jedi so hopefully it's someone I know. I'll have to make sure to offer help pay for the room.' he thought reaching the top floor then walked to the door before opening it.
"Holy crap!" he exclaimed, seeing how big the room was. 'This place is huge! Definitely the penthouse suite.' he thought in awe as he walked into the room and looked around before stepping onto the balcony. "Has quite a view though." he mumbled to himself, leaning against the railing and looking at the near endless meadow. After going back in he looked around for the bedrooms and soon found it, only to discover one bed. 'I guess I could sleep on the couch for the next three days.' he thought, exiting the bedroom and going over to sit on the couch.
It wasn't long before he heard the doors opening. Revan shot up and dived behind one of them with his lightsaber in hand. He waited for the person to take a few steps in before jumping out and holding the end of the hilt towards them. "Barriss!" he realized surprised, putting his saber away. "Revan? What are you doing here?" she asked equally surprised. "I've got the next three days off, so I thought I'd spend them here." he replied. "Well it's good to see you, but why are you in this room?", "About that… I kind of lied to the receptionist about being here on 'Jedi business', so she assumed that I must be here with you." he said nervously, she blushed a bit before replying, "I kind of lied as well… about it being 'Jedi business'." she admitted. "Well if your alright with me staying here, I'll help pay for the room and sleep on the couch. Deal?" he asked. "Deal." she agreed smiling.
When the sun started to set, Revan and Barris decided to head out for supper and catch up. "Wait so you actually piloted a Venator-class Star Destroyer with the Force toward a Separatist command station?" she asked impressed. "Yep." he replied simply while smirking. "Wow… Impressive." she said, smiling softly before going back to her food. Revan couldn't understand why his heart skipped a beat from seeing her smile but decided to ignore it for now. "By the way, sorry for almost attacking you." he apologized after a minute of silence. "It's all right. You were just being safe, we Jedi should always be prepared after all." she replied reassuringly. "Yeah, your right." he said drifting off a bit. 'If it were someone I didn't know I probably would've cut their head off.' he thought staring off. After finishing up, but not before Revan insisted he be the one to pay, they headed back to the hotel and made it up to they're room. "Did you want the bed instead?" she offered. Revan shook his head while smirking before replying, "Nah. You take the bed, Barriss. I'll be fine." she looked like she wanted to say something. "Well… Goodnight." she said instead before heading to her room. "Night…" he replied quietly before falling asleep.
First chapter of this story is done. I know it was short but that's how the chapters I create will usually be. I'll start working on the next chapter immediately.
