Hi! Welcome to ' Wait, Jedi are students?' (not a great title, but yeah)! :D

I have never written college AUs before, so this is quite new to me! XD So, here's some brief introduction... The story line will follow the Clone Wars (Prequel Trilogy), but with a couple twists here and there. Everyone goes to school, the Dark Side people go to one, and the Light Side people go to the other, etc etc.

Here, I will create a new school system. Since I guess you guys come from all around the world, so the school systems are different in different parts of the world. In order to avoid confusion and to have some connection to the Jedi Order, I'm just going to pretend that students go to high school at 14 years old and graduates at 18 years old in this AU. Yep, they study for 5 years.

And the setting of this is in a modern world that works like Earth, but the cities are Coruscant, Naboo, etc etc.

No, they kinda don't have access to the Force. And they aren't Jedi, so unfortunately, they won't have lightsabers :( But to stick to the lightsaber duelling tradition, I'll pretend they do sword fighting. XD Kinda sounds like PJO right now.

Is that okay? If so, let's begin with the prologue... :)

' And so Mr. Windu talked to me today,' Obi-wan Kenobi put down his wooden sword at the sword rack.

Luminara Unduli simply stared at the team captain, motioning him to continue what he was trying to say, and took a long swig from her water bottle. They were practicing ever so hard at the gym for the next sword fighting championship.

The entire sword fighting team was so shamed when that Dooku from the other school beat them hollow at the last championship, so they resorted to training frequently and squabbling with other teams for the gym in summer holidays, in hopes to defeat Dooku next year and win the championship.

Just that day, fortunately, no one else had booked the gym (surprise, surprise, the basketball team was away), so Luminara and Obi-wan practiced by engaging each other in a furious duel for the entire morning.

' He was talking to me about Anakin,' Obi-wan said, slumping down next to the rack with his bottle of water in hand.

Luminara tilted her head. Anakin Skywalker. That passionate and talented yet arrogant and headstrong boy in the sword fighting team, about two years younger than her. He was nice to some of his close friends, but was always confidently swaggering around the school campus, making sarcastic remarks at people, and acting like one of those typical school ladies' man. But anyone who knew of his terrible past understood it was just a public facade.

She said, ' Anakin? Why did he talk to you about Anakin? I seriously don't have the impression that Mr. Windu is particularly fond of him.' At Obi-wan's raised eyebrows, she added, ' Well, Obi-wan, you know it's true.'

' I know,' Obi-wan nodded. ' But he was talking about enrolling Anakin in the mentoring scheme.'

' WHAT?' Luminara's jaw fell open. ' Really?'

The mentoring scheme was a tradition in the sword fighting team (AN: Yeah, this kind of mirrors the Padawan/Master relationship) . More experienced members could choose to enrol in the mentoring scheme, choose one of the newbies from the team, and lead them through the year. Obi-wan was Anakin's former mentor, and Luminara mentored a rather shy girl called Barriss Offee for the past year. It was a pretty good experience for her, because she learnt a lot about the importance responsibility, trust and cooperation with others, and Barriss was almost like her younger sister.

Also, participants of this scheme required loads of patience, gentleness and responsibility, and Luminara was almost sure Anakin wasn't that good at this, seeing that he used up all his time training alone and glowering at everyone.

Besides, she overhead him telling Aayla the other day when she was asking him about the scheme that he would never mentor anybody, because he thought kids were annoying and teaching would just take up his training time.

' Not my idea,' Obi-wan said hastily. ' Mr. Yoda suggested this, and Mr. Windu relayed it to me, since you know, I am the captain, and I am kind of responsible for that scheme.'

' Are you sure it is a good idea?' Luminara murmured. ' Surely, you could force Skywalker into joining the scheme, but he wouldn't be happy.'

' I know,' Obi-wan ran a hand through his hair exasperatedly. ' But Mr. Yoda highly encouraged it. He thinks... It would, you know, help him let go of his insecurities and his past, and train him to become a more responsible and mature person by being a teacher to someone.'

Luminara sighed, ' Well, I'll have to agree with Mr. Yoda. He sure needs to learn to let go of his past and become a more responsible person. But the problem is, he won't like it. He'll just terrify that kid he is going to mentor until he or she can't take it anymore.'

Obi-wan smiled thinly, ' Then we will just have to find someone who is as headstrong as him.'

' How?' Luminara frowned. ' We don't know for sure who will be joining the team next year. The term hasn't even started yet and we haven't even seen that bunch of freshmen yet.'

' We'll see,' Obi-wan winked. ' For now we shall train. Ready for another duel?'

She tied up her long dark hair into a ponytail, and picked her wooden sword, ' Ready.'

Whoop whoop so that's the end of the prologue. Not sure how it turned out, but hope you will like it.

As a background information, Mr. Yoda is the headmaster of the school, and Mr. Windu is the head teacher of the team. XD

I know everything is quite confusing for now, so if you have any questions about the setting, the system or anything about it, feel free to pm me or write it down in your review! :D
