This plot line came to me while trying to finish an essay and i recieved multiple plot bunny bites.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It's here.
I almost broke the key to the back door so I could open it. I look down and read it for the tenth time.
I am pleased to inform you that your application for a scholarship position to Coruscant University has been accepted. You will need to enroll before the semester starts on June 16th.
Yours sincerely,
Vice-chancellor O'Rian
A slow smile spreads across my face and the realisation hits me again as I reach for your phone and then put it down. Who can I call? As far as I know no one else knows about the planet..let alone the university.
//SITH// I think. I sigh and grab my keys and scrawl a note saying i went out for ice cream and will be back later. I hide the letter and leave the inviting warmth of the house to go and make arrangements to get to Corsucant.
~~~
I open the door to hear the phone ringing. I drop my bag and dash for the phone and get to it just as it stops ringing. I mentally count to ten and hit the call back button. I hold the phone to my ear as i light the heater and a startling male voice hits my ear.
"uhh..hi?" that voice makes me want to melt.
"yes?" the voice asks sounding bored and rather irritated.
"uhm..I..." I trail off trying to remember what I was supposed to ask. "Oh, I just missed a call from your number..My name's Abigael." I somehow manage to finish, waiting on edge wanting to hear that voice again, but all I hear is a muttered altercation going on in the background.
"Yes, my *assistant* rang you" he hisses and I try not to laugh
"I see..and you are....?"
"Oh I'm with Trans-Galactic Travel, you made your arrangements with us to get you to Coruscant this afternoon" his voice says, audibly softer, its almost as if I can imagine the slight smile on his lips and I grin.
"Ahha.Well..are there any problems with my arrangements?" I ask getting a little more nervous when the voice clears his throat awkwardly.
"Well..Yes. I'm sorry to inform you but the legal Intergalactic speed has been dropped so it seems it will take us a week to get you there rather than a day."
"Oh..so..when will i have to leave?" I ask dreading the answer
"Uhm...Tomorrow at midnight"
"WHAT?!!?" I screach into the phone "TOMORROW?! WHEN DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?" I demand
The voice swallows nervously. "A week ago" He answers timidly
I Throw my water bottle across the room and then grin evilly
"Well..seeing as how I paid you full price to get me there in a day, I think you can give me two-thirds of my money back..which comes up to around..three grand" I smile wickedly. The money for getting to Coruscant had come directly out of my now non-exsistant trust fund.
I wasnt going to be post-poned six days with no money AND no free time. I'm so glad that I had took Legal Studies. I yell into the phone "AREN'T YOU!!"
"Uh..Yes Madam, Please forgive me for the mix up" he whimpers and promtly hangs up.
I drop onto my bed and laughed. If only all people were that easy to get money out of. I couldn't get any from my parents because I couldn't tell them which university I was going to, I didn't want to get a bank loan, because, as stingy as they were, I didn't want them to have to pay up when I wasn't around. I sigh and get changed for work quickly and grab my coat and my phone and keys and left the house again.
~~~
I sat back on my stool at my checkout and took a slug of water. I didn't want to be here. I look over at Alex, who was on the phone to her boyfriend. *AGAIN*. I turn the page of my copy of the Phantom Menace book. I sigh as a figure walks up to my checkout and starts unloading things from their cart onto the belt. I put my mangled, frequently read book and start to scan the groceries through. I finally look up.
"That'll be $64.95 Thanks would you like...." My eyes connect with stormy grey-green ones and the figure wearing a black leather trench that looks distinctly like Obi-Wan Kenobi. I shake my head and take a step back holding onto the counter so i don't pass out. //You have been reading WAAAY too many fics Abi//
"Would you like..." he prompts in a velvet soft voice that takes all my Yoga Meditation to break through.
I shake my head again //would you like come back to my place// I grin at the prospect but shake my head to clear the thought..If he was the real Kenobi, he could catch my train of thought, I didn't need to deal with someone with a still bigger ego.
He grins "Paper or Plastic bags" I finish softly and sigh. He caught it. Damn.
Suddenly a stick taps sharply on my counter and look down to see a disgruntled Yoda and my eyes widen considerably.
"Paper we must have, environmentally friendly the Jedi must strive to be" I grin at that.
"Yes, of course." I laugh and thought about how I would miss Earth when I left for Corsucant. I sigh.
"Why are you going there?" A velvety voice broke through my haze.
"What?" I ask
Yoda frowns at Obi-Wan "Read peoples minds you should not, ask them first you must"
Obi-Wan reddens "Yes, Master Yoda" he turns to me "Why are you going to.." he looks around "..Corsucant."
I raise an eyebrow and bite my lip "I got a scholarship to the Uni." I smile trying not to blush furiously when his eyes widen and he looks impressed.
"Wow..that's amazing. I don't know anyone who was managed to get a scholarship from this far away." he smiles
I laugh "And HOW many people do you know from this far away??" I ask. He grins "Good Point. However, it is undeniably a good achievement." I blush redder than my hair and he winks at me. I finish bagging their purchases and take the money. Before they left Obi-Wan leans over and kisses my hand, pushing a piece of paper into my palm.
"In case you ever get bored of being a student." He winks again and leaves after being prodded by Yoda's stick. I grin and slide the paper in my pocket and start cleaning my check-out so I can close up.
~~~
I drive down to the warehouse precinct of the city at midnight and park my car in the car spot they have ready for my car. I get out and walk in the back entrance and I walk in gingerly, looking for signs of life. I push open a second door and see about 25 people sitting around and a man at a desk on the phone with his back to me.
"Hi..." I start softly. The man at the desk turns and I gape
//It can't happen twice in one day//
"Hi" the voice responds sounding warm just like the voice I talked to on the phone.
"I'm...I'm Abigael.."I managed to get out and I smiled a little when he blanches slightly but hides it and hangs up the phone.
He smiles and walks over to me "I'm.."
"..Han Solo?" I finish
"Y-yes..but..how did.."
"You dont wanna know"
He smiles. "Ok then, I didnt think my reputation was THAT bad yet."
I laugh. "Yet"
He grins. "You ready to go?"
"Definitley, before I lose my nerve." I say managing to drag my eyes back to his
"Ok, then." he grabs one of my bags and heads towards a scout ship. I follow slowly hauling the other along beside me. He presses a panel on the side and a walkway opens out and he walks up it and shows me around.
//My home for the next week// I smile.
I walk up slowly trying to take in everything I see..and thank gods for my quasi-photographic memory, so that i can remember the floor plan from one of my ever-growing collection of SW books.
I palm the door and it slides open to reveal quite what I was expecting, a twin bed, a desk a bathroom and a few chairs, oh, and Luke Skywalker sitting on my bed...hang on..LUKE SKYWALKER?!!? I stare for a second and then shut my eyes and drink some water.
I open my eyes again.
He's STILL here.
"Uhm...Hi.." I try to say but it comes out as a mangled whisper.
He smiles. "Hey."
I continue to look puzzled. "Don't mean to be a bitch or anything but..uh...why are you here?"
"Well um...I gotta share these rooms with you..."
I blush madly at the thoughts going through my head.
"Dare I ask why?"
"Han snores"
I grin. "Right, Fair enough. Oh, I'm.."
"Abigael, yeah I know. Its a beautiful name." If it's possibly I blush an even deeper shade of red.
"Uhh..thanks" I smile
"Oh, and before I forget.." Luke hands me a datapad "this is from the uni, a few things they thought you should...be aware of."
I raise an eyebrow "what..they eat humans?"
Luke laughs "no, not quite." He winks at me and I melt _again_
/This is gonna be one l-o-n-g flight/ I thought and settle down to read what the Uni has to say about Corsucant.
~TBC?~
anyone want more???
