A young Jedi Knight, Roddy St. James, was betraying the jedi code, ten years into his training. He was in love with Rita Malone, a powerful and prestigious jedi. Beautiful, powerful Rita. Roddy was a bit of a klutz, but Yoda said that his tendancy would diminish with each passing day. Roddy knew Rita was on Felucia, and had heard the other jedi talk about how horrible it was there. Carnivorous monsters, flesheating diseases, massive fungal colonies and much more. Not to mention Sepreratist activity. Roddy wanted badly to go on assignment, but couldn't, due to the reputation he had. With each second he regretted wanting to become a jedi more and more. He wished daily that he could just, go back and do things differently. Rita had been with Qui Gonn Jinn when the Queen of Naboo's ship needed repairs, and that was ten years ago. He had been only twelve years old, and she was fifteen. He couldn't help but be smitten with her. If only someone could understand, just listen to me when I say I have conflicting emotions already. Yoda said the emotions would come, but not until much, much later. This is too fast! Roddy thought.
He cleared his mind as he entered the council room of the Jedi temple in Coruscant, the Republic's base planet. The whole planet was one huge city, and bounty hunters, smugglers, and cheaters would make their wretched homes there.
Roddy took his place in the center of the room facing Yoda, and Master Mace Windu addressed him. "Roderick St. James, you are aware that Jedi Knight Rita Malone has been injured during battle. After all these years, we want to give you your first assignment. This will test you to see if you can face the trials anytime soon. If you prove to be ready, you will begin trials, and after those you will be able to train your first padawan learner, go on large assignments, and several other things. But Young Malone was shot twice on Felucia, in the leg and in her back. She will be fine and is returning home, but you will need to take her to her home planet of Naboo. We can't afford to lose another jedi. Chancellor Palpatine will provide transportation, and you will not be taking jedi registered ships, but will take normal transits. On Naboo, take her to the Theed Palace, and there the Queen will provide her with refuge, somewhere secluded. Do you accept?"
Roddy couldn't believe what he was hearing. They were actually giving him his first assignment! He agreed and was admitted to leave. As he walked down the hall, he couldn't help but wear a slightly stupid smile. His assignment wa sperfect for him. First assignment, protecting his crush, Rita Malone! Maybe this would get him not only the trials, but maybe even a girl! A girl the council wouldn't know he had. Roddy smiled in excitement and walked to the armory to pick up his lightsabre. He kept it there to ensure that it wouldn't get lost. After getting it, he walked to a lot with jedi speeders and rented one out. Upon getting in, he went to the platform Rita was to arrive at...
There's chapter one. I wonder what would happen if Rita really WERE a jedi...haha, I really don't wanna know. I think we'd all be annihlated, LOL
