Star Wars: Beginning Again
Part One
Tatooine
Two podracers and one speeder flew across the desert. A silver and yellow podracer was ahead of the others. 'Ali-Lyn' was written on the sides in blue. The podracer behind that one was orange and red. The teenage boy occupant was dressed in the clothing of a Jedi.
The speeder that followed behind them was brown and tan, and occupied by a teenage girl and a young girl no older than two or three. The older girl was dressed as a Jedi, too.
The podracers slowed down, as did the speeder, then stopped. The four occupants disembarked their rides and walked into a circle.
"Ali-Lyn! We're supposed to be in Corusant by now. The new council is not going to be happy." The teenage boy said. His dark brown hair was weighted down with sweat, and his crystal blue eyes were dull from the heat. "I would do anything to go to Hoth after this."
The girl the boy had called Ali-Lyn, was just getting out of the silver and yellow podracer. Ali-Lyn was about 17 with brown hair and hazel eyes, which were violet for the moment. She was dressed in the tan robes of a Jedi, and held the young child from the speeder, "My father's the head of the council, remember? As long as we're there before Papa begins to worry, we won't be in trouble."
The other teenage girl laughed, "Uncle Luke is liable to send Carime after us."
"Gaeity! Carime isn't that bad, she's actually pretty nice." The teenage boy said to Gaeity.
"Oh, T.J., get real! Dad would send Chewy after us." Gaeity said, still laughing.
Ali-Lyn Skywalker looked at her younger cousins, "T.J. would you just get the stuff out of the speeder." The 15-year old turned around to get the stuff while Ali-Lyn handed the two-year old to Gaeity. "Your twin is very weird. You may want to put Jennelle in the speeder while we practice."
Gaeity took her baby sister and put her in the speeder mumbling about her parents.
The New Jedi Council on Coruscant
Luke Skywalker looked at his twin sister, Princess Leia Solo. This was the fourth time in six weeks that the four kids had been late. Luke sighed at the thought of his daughter. This was her day to be evaluated. Ali-Lyn was supposed to take the trials soon, but she could only do them with the approval of her teacher and with an evaluation by the council. At this rate, Ali-Lyn would never become a Jedi Knight.
Leia leaned over and looked at her brother, "Luke, I'm beginning to see a pattern here."
Luke laughed, "I know. I should start sending their teachers with them when they go on these excursions." Luke felt the fear begin to rise in him. He'd already lost a child to the dark side – He wouldn't lose the other. He stood up as the door opened and the children walked in.
"Sorry, we got tied up with something." Ali-Lyn said, walking in. T.J. and Gaeity followed behind her. Gaeity held Jennelle, who wriggled out of Gaeity's hands and ran to their mother.
Luke nodded and looked at his daughter, "Padme Amidala Skywalker…"
"Ali-Lyn." She corrected him. She hated being called by her full name, especially by her father. Not to mention she hated the name Amidala – She maybe the granddaughter of a queen, but she wasn't noblity, so she didn't want the name.
"Padme," He father began, "This is the fourth time you've been late."
Ali-Lyn looked at her father, "Papa. I'm very sorry. I was on Tatooine doing some research and some independent training. Unfortunatly, my cousins were with me. I am very, very sorry. It won't happen again. I promise."
Luke watched his daughter. She looked more and more like her mother with each passing day.
"Papa? You okay?" Ali-Lyn asked. Her father was getting older, and he often thought of her mother.
Luke smiled, "Yes. Just thinking of your mother." He sighed, "Ali-Lyn, since you've missed your evaluation again, I suggest we wait more then the usual week. We shall wait one month, if in that time Carime or I decide to give you your evaluation, you will take take."
"Yes, Papa." Ali-Lyn bowed and walked out of the door, leaving her cousins to be reprimanded by her Aunt Leia. Ali-Lyn laughed – Aunt Leia was liable to make Gaeity and T.J. take care of Jennelle for a day.
Ali-Lyn walked onto the balcony. Her shoulder-length brown hair was back in a messy bun. Her two braids, which were formed on the very front of her hair, were pushed behind her ears. Her eyes, still deep violet, watched the skyline of Corusant with intensity.
Ali-Lyn's thoughts drifted to her mother. Padme had been the granddaughter or great-granddaughter (Ali-Lyn could never remember) of Tament, one of Queen Amidala's handmaidens. Ali-Lyn could remember her parents' love for each other. They'd never fought, only talked if something was wrong. Padme had even picked out Ali-Lyn's Jedi name. The council normally would have chosen it, but Ali-Lyn wouldn't anwser to any name other then Ali-Lyn. Padme had been Ali-Lyn's best friend, next to her twin brother.
Ali-Lyn looked down, Anakin had been named after her grandfather, but nameing him after Darth Vader had proved to be wrong after Anakin had turned to the dark side. There had been a new group of "dark siders", as Ali-Lyn called them, had propositioned Anakin – And a week later he was gone. They were 10 years old – not even old enough to be halfway through their training. Anakin killed their mother two years later, while trying to kill the only exsisting threat to him, the only person who could rival him in his ability to use the force – Ali-Lyn.
Ali-Lyn felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to face Carime.
"Hello, padawan. Ready to go to Naboo?"
Ali-Lyn smiled, "Why are we going there? I thought I had some training to do here."
"Nope. This time I am takeing you, and only you, to Naboo. Your father and I thought you should see the planet that your heritage is from."
"Well, then I guess we should go." Ali-Lyn smiled, and waited for Carime to walk before following behind her.

This ends Part One.
