Chapter 1

Late yet again!

I had been soundly asleep in my bed. The weekend had been great. First daddy had taken me all over the universe teaching me about all the planets and about the people who lived on them. The Millennium Falcon broke again and we had to go home or crash land on some unknown planet. Even though daddy would have thought it fun, he knew that if he did Mommy would have his ass. So he very nicely asked for some help form Uncle Luke. (Which involved a lot of yelling and name calling, at one moment Luke had threatened to leave his old war buddy out in the cold and take me home. Which Han replied, "Do it and I will find you and make you suffer!") Other then that I had a wonderful weekend, I even had time to shop with my best friends. Because a girl had to have more in her closet then just the old fashion Jedi robes. I mean come on what were the old Jedi knights thinking when they came up with that fashion disaster. Like ewwww. Brown robes with a tan tunic and tall brown boots. And even though they looked really cute on me, I still had to buy something else.

Well anyways, today I was going back to school and so not loving it. I mean come on; I am a sixteen year old girl who is training to be a Jedi knight. I am always studying and I never even get to wear my new clothes to school because of the whole dress code thingy. I was trying to get some sleep until I heard my alarm go off with a very loud beeping noise. Slamming the button down I tried to wake up, but being a teen I only wanted one thing. More sleep please, that was until I heard a familiar voice.

"You know that thing is really annoying. You're going to be late if you don't get your butt in gear."

I knew that voice anywhere. Sitting up quickly I could see him clearly. Even though he changes every time I see him, his favorite form is the one of his youth. With curly blond hair, slightly tanned skin and a light scar under his right eye; my dear old grand dad sat happily on my dresser.

"Good morning princess." He waved, giving a boyish grin. I wanted nothing more than to throw a pillow at him, but knew that it was useless him being a ghost and all.

"What are you doing here? This is my room! Are you mental or something or did you just fail the part about not entering a girl's room while she was sleeping in ghost school?"

"HA! The rule only works when you're naked. And I can clearly see you slept in your clothes from the day before again." My grand father gave me a once over. "Aren't you a little old for that show?"

I looked down to see the Jedi space babies t-shirt I was wearing from the day before. "Aren't you a little old to be haunting me?" I tried to get off the subject that I was still clinging to my younger days. Thankfully he never saw my pink wookie underwear. I so did not need to hear anything about those.

"Nope! I'm bored and you're late for school. So I decided that it would be the nice thing to help you get out of bed and moving."

"I am not late. I set my clock to four hours before school starts."

"Yeah but I didn't"

"What do you mean that you didn't?" I said as I turned to look at my clock. It was late really late. I had only enough time to scream and get out of bed. Uncle Luke was going kill me! That is if my mother didn't first. Wait, where was my mom?

Grandpa answered that one for me. "She went to the senate. She is a queen now, you know. She has a lot more to do now. Just because you guys won the battle does not mean you won the war. You're safe for now. That is until your daddy wakes up." He said rolling his eyes at the mere mention of my father.

"Okay, what do you have against my dad?" I asked throwing my ugly old Jedi robes on.

"He married my daughter without my asking."

"You're dead. What is he going to do? Go to your grave in Tatooine and say 'oh dear Mr. Skywalker um…can I like marry your daughter, even though you tried to like kill her and all.' Whatever!" I said throwing my hands up. I was done dressing but I was missing my most important part. The light saber! I went into panic mode and began to search.

"For one thing I was cremated. And for two, yeah it would have been nice! And I did not try to kill her. I merely interrogated her." Grandpa shrugged. "It never really hurt her."

I stared at him in disbelief. Once when I was a child Grandpa told me that he was here to help me become a great Jedi master and guide me. Now I was a little scared on how he "wanted to help." Shaking my head I went back to looking for my light saber. If I lost that thing again I would be grounded for life. I jumped into a pile of smelly clothes.

"Looking for this?" I looked up to see grandpa pointing at my light saber.

"Yes! Thank you, thank you!" I ran to my to my sparkle covered light saber. As I lifted it the small bell on the handle chimed happily.

"Dear lord how can you do that to your Saber?" Grandpa said with disgust.

"What? I think that it's pretty." I looked at the sparkles with pride. My best friends and I did them together one night at the school. Victoria had purple and Carmen had pink. So I chose what I thought was the best; good old blue. Uncle Luke said that it was a family favorite.

"The thing looks like it was thrown down an elf's throat and came out the ass with sparkles." Grandpa raising an eyebrow.

I stuck out my tongue at the youth. As I placed my light saber in my belt, I realized that an hour had gone by. But how could that be? I talking for that long? Note to self: shut up and get moving!

"Ah! I have to leave, like now!"

Before dear old granddad could say anything I was rushing out the door. I was so dead.

Thirty minutes later, thanks to my very own racer, I was at school. But it was now raining (My racer does not have a roof, gee thanks daddy.). I was soaking wet and tired. After nearly killing myself trying to run to the front doors in boots. (I mean come on, how the hell can Jedi run in these things? The robe is way too big and just flops around and the boots have no tread on the bottom. Fashion mistake big time. I knew that the school doors were locked by this hour, but maybe I could get in, just maybe.

NOPE! Not going to happen. I begged for what felt like ten minutes trying to get the schoolhouse guards to let me in. And you know what they did. They laughed at me! Stupid reformed storm troopers! I was going to so give them an ass kicking when I got inside. That is if the Jedi Grand masters didn't kill me first.

Thinking fast, I climbed up the side building to the roof. I knew there was an open window somewhere around here and I was going to find it. The rain seemed to get faster and harder the more I walked. You never knew how big the Jedi knight school was until you were on its roof. It seemed like hours before I saw a bright light coming from a window in the school. I jumped for joy when I saw it was open. Yes! If I could maybe, just maybe, I could get away with this.

Running towards the window I slipped on a puddle (Damn shoes!) and fell through the open window right onto the floor.

"Ouch!" I said lifting myself off the floor. Then I looked around. Oh yes, to my horror, Uncle Luke was staring right at me, and around him was the Jedi council. All of them looked like they where trying not to laugh. I mean, here I was sitting in cold wet clothes with blood running down my nose, and oh yes, my hair looked like I had just put it in the wrong side of a jet engine. "Oh hi guys!" I stood up cheerfully. "Um…. hey I found you! Boy you cannot image what I went through to find you." Oh yeah, I was queen of sorry ass lies and they all knew it. One Grand Master burst out in laughter; tears began streaming down his cheeks.

Uncle Luke stared up at me with a light smile. "Late again I see."

"Um…. It was all a Grandpa's fault." I said sheepishly. Another Jedi began to laugh. Oh, this was going to be a wonderful day.
