Why on earth are we here?

The day after their family leaves, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Yoda appear!
Chapter one: Crazy Beginnings
". . . And remember to check the mail. Oh, and make sure to be in bed at a good hour, no late nights. Behave yourselves, and don't let anyone in the house that we don't know. Oh, am I forgetting anything?" A frantic mother was saying.
"No, Mom. I'm pretty sure that you got everything. And don't worry, we'll be just fine." Jade Christensen impatiently assured her mother.
"Are you sure?" Loral Christensen asked, doubtfully.
"Honey, they're 19. I'm pretty sure they can take care of themselves." Her husband, David Christensen, said.
The girls hugged their parents and watched them climb into the car. "Bye girls!" They shouted.
"Don't forget to take care of Jack and Jenna!" Loral shouted, pointing to the Beagle and Australian Shepherd at Jade's feet.
"I won't!" Jade called back. The girls waved their hands. "Bye!" All three ran inside, with the dogs at their heels and Jade shut the door. She looked out the window until the parents were out of sight. She then turned to the others and yelled,"They're gone!"
The girls screamed and jumped up and down, while the dogs barked at all the excitement. It was the first Friday of June, and all of their parents were going on a three-week cruise to Alaska, and their siblings were going to stay with various relatives in Georgia and California. Meanwhile, they were going to stay at Jade's house.
"So, what should we do first?" Jade asked.
"Um, how about we get some food?" Cali suggested.
"And movies!" Cierra added.
"Or we could go swimming. Or play tennis or volleyball." Cali said.
"Well, how about we play some ball, then we can go swimming. Tonight, we can get snacks and pizza, and we can watch Star Wars. Does that sound alright to you guys?" Jade asked.
Both girls nodded in agreement. After locking the dogs in the house, they all ran out to the tennis court in the backyard with their balls and rackets. After two hours of tennis and volleyball, the girls ran inside to change into their swimming suits.
When they were ready, they let the dogs out and walked over to the pool. Jade was just about to jump in, when she remembered something. "You guys go ahead. I'll be back in a minute." She ran inside, and came back out a moment later with her stereo and some CD's.
"Okay, Alien Youth or Collide (Skillet)?" She asked.
"Alien Youth!" Cali and Cierra said in unison.
Jade slipped Alien Youth in, and turned up the volume. "It's been confirmed that the aliens have landed!" They shouted at the same time as the music. Jade ran over and jumped into the pool while doing an air guitar. Cali and Cierra laughed at their crazy friend. The dogs barked at the music, and jumped into the pool, splashing water all over the girls, therefore starting a splashing contest.
A little while later, the phone rang. Jade was the closest, so she jumped up to go get it. As she got up, she said,"Hey, Cali! I bet it's your boyfriend!"
"Oh, stop it! He's not my boyfriend." Cali exclaimed.
Jade ran into the house, and reappeared moments later holding the phone, looking very shocked. She covered the reciever and whispered loudly,"It is him!"
Cali didn't believe it. "No, it's not."
"Yes, it is. And he wants to talk to you."
"Really?"
"Yes! Now hurry up and get over here!"
Cali quickly scrambled out of the pool, and grabbed her towel to dry off. Jade handed her the phone, and climbed back into the pool. "What do you think he wants?" Cierra asked.
"I don't know. Maybe he's asking her out." Jade suggested.
"Yeah. And of course it just had to be when we're doing something."
"But of course!"
The two giggled. A minute later, Cali came back to them.
"Well? What happened? What did he want? Did he ask you out? How did he know you were here? Did you-" Jade and Cierra bombarded her with questions.
"Guys! Chill, I can only answer one at a time." Cali protested.
"Oh, sorry. So? Tell all!"
"Well, he knew that I was here, because I told Leah that I was staying here while Mom and Dad are gone, and she probably told the whole family, and left the phone number lying somewhere. So, he (AN: By the way, 'he' is Joe) wanted to know if I was doing anything. I told him yes, I was with you guys, and we'd already planned the evening. He sounded so disappointed! So, um, I hope you guys don't mind, but uh, I-"
"Well, you what?" Cierra asked impatiently.
"I invited him and Frank over for a while." She quickly finished. It was really quiet for a minute. Then, the girls hurriedly got out of the pool.
"Well, we'd better get ready, they'll probably be here any minute!" Jade exclaimed, grabbing her towel and drying off.
The three rushed inside, and got dressed. Just as they finished getting ready and they were back downstairs, the doorbell rang, and the dogs, now inside and dryed off, ran over to the door barking. Jade ran over and opened it. "Hey, guys! Come on in."
They followed her into the living room, and sat down on the couch. At that moment, Cali and Cierra came running in. "Hi!" Cali greeted them.
"Hey!" Joe stood up and walked over to her.
Cierra and Jade excused themselves, and went to the kitchen, with Frank tagging along behind them.
"Hey Frank!" Jade called.
"Yeah?" Frank answered.
"Do you want to do something? Like watch a movie, or play a game, or something?" She asked.
"Um, I guess." He replied.
"Okay! Um, Cierra, why don't you show him to the basement? And show him where the movies and video games are." Jade instructed. "Afterwards, you can come with me to get the pizza."
"Okay." Cierra led Frank to a doorway by the kitchen.
When they'd left, Jade ran upstairs to get her money and shoes on. When she got back down to the kitchen, Cierra was there waiting for her. "You ready?" She asked.
"Yep!" Jade answered.
The girls walked to the living room, and interrupted Cali,"Hey, Cali, Cierra and I are going to get the pizza, we'll be back in a little bit, okay?" Jade told her.
"Okay!" Cali replied, and went back to her conversation with Joe.
A little while later, Jade and Cierra came back with the pizza.
"Guys, pizza's here!" Cierra called.
"We'll be right there!" Cali answered from the living room.
Jade got out plates, cups, and napkins, and set the pizza and soda on the counter. Cali and Joe came in from the living room, and Frank came up from the basement. They each got their food and soda, and walked out to the living room.
Jade walked over to a movie cabinet and got out The Phantom Menace. She then proceded to turn everything on, and pop in the disc. She walked back over to the others and sat down as the theme music started. "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away. . ." Jade started reading as the words appeared on screen.
"Jade, we can read it for ourselves, you know." Cierra protested.
"Yeah, I know. I like to do it anyway, just to annoy you." Jade smiled sweetly.
Cierra sighed, and turned back to the movie.
A couple hours later, the movie was over, and it was 7:00. Joe and Frank said goodbye, and then left. After they left, Jade shouted,"It's party time!" The three girls laughed, and ran up to Jade's room.
They changed into their pajamas, and grabbed their nail polish and hair stuff. Cierra and Cali were about to go back downstairs, when Jade said,"Wait! How about we bring everything up to the loft? There's plenty of room. The stairs to it are right here in my room, and there's the big flatscreen TV, DVD player, PS2, pool, foosball, and ping-pong tables up there."
The girls agreed, and ran up to the loft. After setting everything down, they ran downstairs and got the rest of the Star Wars movies, pizza, soda, and some other various snacks, and brought those also to the loft.
"Okay, who's up for Attack of the Clones!" asked Cali.
Cierra and Jade shouted their approval. Cali popped it in, and the girls got comfortable. While the movie played, the girls fixed each others hair and painted their nails. When Attack of the Clones was finished, they watched all the rest of the movies, including Revenge of the Sith.
When they had finished, it was 3:00 o'clock in the morning. The girls stumbled sleepily down the stairs to Jade's room. Jade crawled into her bed, while Cierra and Cali took the two beds across from her.
"Good night!" Jade called. The only reply she heard was the quiet breathing of her sleeping friends. She closed her eyes, and fell asleep almost immediately.
AN: That's it for now! I know, there's no Star Wars (except for when they watched the movies), but that'll be in- well, you'll see. So please review if you want to see the next chapter. Tootles!
