It was a beautiful day in the jedi temple gardens. Erin loved to walk through them. Today is the day she has been dreading for the past two months. Today she has her first lesson with master Yoda. Erin is only ten years old, 'How can a ten year old compete with a jedi master like master Yoda', he has got to be at least a hundred years old. Although he can fight like he was still twenty he walks like an old man about to die any minute now. Right now is a time she wished Obi-Wan was still here. He would always comfort her when she felt scared or alone.
'Obi-Wan when are you coming back, I miss you so much and I really need you right now.' Erin said not really talking to anyone.
Erin has walked around the gardens since before dawn. She is so nervous she doesn't know what to do. After about another hour or so walking Erin went to the meditating room. Though her training in times of stress or confusion you are taught to meditate in order to clear your mind and sort things out if they need sorted. Erin sat on the padded mat and cleared her mind. The hard part in meditating isn't clearing your mind but trying to keep it clear. Erin sat there for about thirty minutes until an image of her mother pushed its way though and broke her concentration. Erin didn't know much of her mother she only had pictures and a necklace that belonged to her. Erin got most of her mother's looks only her eyes belonged to her father. Erin never met her father she doesn't remember anything about him. She only knows that her eyes belong to him because they are nothing like her mother's. Her mother's eyes are a light pale blue almost pure white if you look at them the right way. Erin's eyes are some what a greenish blueish color, almost the color of the ocean.
Erin sat there looking at her mother's image in her mind it was so vivid, so real she could almost reach out and touch her, she wanted to she needed to but something held her back. As she continued to look at her mother the image started to fade away and transform in to someone else, just when the image was just clear enough to see the out line master Windu walked in and said that is was time to go to master Yoda. I opened my eyes slowly and looked up at him, he saw in her eyes that she was frighten.
'Don't worry Erin just do your best and that is all we expect from you, besides no one wins their first lesson.'
With that Erin became somewhat more relieved, what had she to fear? Erin got to the door and was about to knock when she suddenly remembered what it was that made her scared. She didn't want to disappoint her mother, she knew her mother was watching her right now and that is what gave her the courage to knock on the door.
(knock, knock, knock)
'Come Erin yes in' came a voice from behind the door. Erin walked in silently and shut the door behind her. She saw a small person standing at the window and took a very low bow.
'On the door what took you so long to knock? Nervous are you? Yes nervous since it from you I do.'
Erin was some what confused about what master Yoda was saying, she never could really understand what he was saying with out concentrating pretty hard on him. What she did under stand is that he said she was nervous and it was true she was.
'Cat have your tongue it does hummmmmmm'
'No master I'm sorry.'
'Ummhummm hahahaha. Start our lesson we must. Yes start our lesson.'
Erin stood waiting for Yoda to tell her what to do.
'Sit down here you will.'
He pointed to a padded mat laying on the floor next to the one he sat on. So Erin walked over to it and sat down. Master Yoda looked up at her and laughed again with his sweet childish laughter. Erin didn't want to ask him what he was laughing at but she really wanted to know. Master Yoda again looked at her straight in the eyes, young jedi are suppose to lower their eyes to a master, but in that one instant Erin forgot everything she had ever learned. Yoda laughed again softly.
'Laughing at you I am.' Yoda said still staring into Erin's eyes.
Erin now remembering her training lowered her eyes. She then looked at him and he had his eyes closed seeming to be thinking about something hard.
'What is he doing?' Erin thought in her head. Then Yoda opened his eyes and said in his usual tone of voice
'Reading your thoughts I am.'
Erin somewhat jumped back in surprise she forgot most of the jedi masters can read thoughts.
'Begin our lesson shall we? Yes shall we. Begin'
Erin still somewhat confused shook it out of her head and listened to Yoda.
'Clear your mind you must, concentrate on this ball only.'
Master Yoda set a sliver ball on the floor in front of Erin.
'Use the Force you must to lift it.'
Erin sat there with nothing on her mind but moving the ball. She spent what felt like an hour tring to move the ball. Finally Yoda spoke.
'Not using the Force you are. Use the force you must.'
Erin now getting very frustrated concentrated on moving the ball even harder she thought her head was going to exploded. Yoda spoke in a very unusual tone he seemed almost screaming with anger and frustration.
'USE THE FORCE ERIN YOU MUST ONLY THEN CAN YOU MOVE THE BALL!'
Erin somewhat shocked by the way Yoda yelled at her used every bit of strength she had left and push it out of her body. Everything in the room not just the ball went flying into the air even master Yoda. Circling around and around the room, master Windu stepped in after watching everything outside of the window was then also lifted up in the air. Suddenly Erin lost all of her mental strength and everything in the room fell to the floor with a loud THUD. Master Windu and master Yoda picked themselves up off the floor. They looked at each other and then they looked at Erin. Erin breathing very heavily suddenly blacked out. Master Windu picked up Erin and took her to the hospital wing. Master Yoda and master Windu are standing at the window of the room Erin is in.
'Master Yoda why did you use that tone on Erin, jedi are not to get angry or frustrated.'
'Know this I do Master Windu, use the tone I did to force her to use the Force.'
'Obi-Wan when are you coming back, I miss you so much and I really need you right now.' Erin said not really talking to anyone.
