Chapter 1:
A Meeting
'Today's the day,' Roxie thought getting out of bed. Today was her meeting with the council to be assigned to a master, which she was relatively nervous about. She looked at a nearby clock and realized something. "Oh no, I'm late!" Roxie exclaimed. She quickly brushed her black hair back, put on her padawan robe, and rushed out the door.
Roxie dashed down the temple corridors as fast as she could, but failed to slow down quick enough when she rounded a corner and ended up colliding into another padawan. "Humph!" the padawan grunted as he fell onto the ground. Roxie put her hand over her mouth.
"I'm sorry!" she said reaching over him with her hand. "Are you alright?" He took Roxie's hand and got up.
"I'm fine. You should really slow down." the padawan replied. Roxie was a little mad at herself for not stopping in time. However, she shook the feeling off because she needed to get going.
"Once again, sorry. I'm late to a meeting with the council," Roxie said apologetically. The padawan's eyes got wider with that statement.
"Oh, well, in that case, you need to get going." he said with a little concern in his voice.
'Thank you Captain Obvious.' she thought about saying, but kept it to herself. She didn't want people getting the wrong idea about her.
"I guess I'll... see you later?" he asked, snapping Roxie out of her thoughts.
"Sure thing."she replied. With that, she took off running again toward the council room.
Council Room,
"We seem to be missing a padawan," Mace Windu pointed out. Suddenly the doors opened up, revealing an exhausted Roxie. "Nevermind," he mumbled.
Roxie regained her composure and bowed to the council. "Sorry I'm late," she said examining the room. She noticed three people around her age standing side by side. She smiled when she realized that the three were here friends: Ahdroka, the Togruta, Tess, an older girl with her hair in a pony tail, and Neko, another girl who had cat ears, a tail, and black, spikey hair.
But, her attention soon turned to the council, or whatever of the council was present, who a couple of which looked rather irritated. 'Great, first day on the job and I'm already going to get fired,' Roxie thought with a chuckle.
"Padawan, late, you are. Let it happen again, please do not," Master Yoda said staring straight at Roxie, making her slightly uncomfortable.
She bowed and said, "Yes Master."
"Good, now we can get down to business," Mace said with a serious tone. "As you may already know, once you become a certain age and have been approved by the council, you will become a Padawan learner and that's why you're here today." His face then grew sad. "But, the war has sadly taken the lives of many Jedi. With that said, Padawans may have to 'share' a master. So two of you here will be assigned to the same master." He motioned for a few masters to stand up.
Two of them were very recognizable Jedi: Masters Plo Koon and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The other one was unfamiliar. He was a Mirialan with a robotic right arm. "Ahdroka," Mace said motioned toward the Togruta. "Master Kenobi will be your new master."
"Greetings, young one," Obi-Wan said bowing to Ahdroka, who bowed back.
"You will be training alongside another padawan named Trent," Mace continued. "Next, Tess. You will be assigned to Master Plo Koon and will train with a padawan named Zack."
"Koh-toh-yah, Tess," Plo Koon greeted.
"Good to meet you, Master Plo," she greeted back.
"And lastly, Roxie and Neko. You are assigned to Master Tyrak," Mace said pointing at the Mirialan. He walked over to greet them.
"I'm Master Tyrak, but you already knew that," he said with a smile.
'He seems pretty friendly,' Roxie thought. "I'm Roxie," she said while bowing. Neko was a little reluctant to introduce herself.
"I'm Neko," she finally said.
Ki-Adi-Mundi stood up and said, "Now that introductions are out of the way, let's all get some lunch, shall we?"
"Agreed," Mace said, also standing up. "It'll also give our newest padawans to get to know the other padawans." They all proceeded to head to the mess hall. Along the way, Roxie thought,
'Today's turning out to be a good one, I wonder how the rest of it will turn out.'
Well, here it is. The first chapter, but I hate first chapters. Things always go slowly. Things will pick up though, promise. And if your character wasn't in this chapter, don't worry about it. Everyone's character will appear. If your character in this chapter was not written correctly, please tell me. Next chapter: Socializing. Also, I've included characters from my other story, but they won't appear a whole lot. See ya'll later!
