Part 1- Telling

It was raining on Coruscant.

Twelve year old Ayslyn Kenobi was sitting alone in an old park near the Jedi Temple. No one was able to tell she was crying because her tears matched the rain drops on her face.

She should have been happy, her father and Jedi Master, Obi-Wan, had been given the honor of becoming the Jedi Watchman of Talus, but instead she was crying.

Her curly blonde hair which was usually pulled into a bun, was hanging limp to her shoulders, and her grey-blue eyes were filled with emotion. Ayslyn pushed her padawan braid out of her face, and stood up.

They were leaving for Talus tomorrow. She wasn't going to miss the crowded streets, or even the Jedi Temple. Infact, the only thing Ayslyn would truly miss was her best friend.

Luke Skywalker.

He was two years older than she was, and Ayslyn had had the biggest crush on him when they were younger. She still did, but Ayslyn kept her feelings well hidden now.

Her brain was roaming around with thoughts of all the time's she had spent with Luke meanwhile her feet led her straight into the Jedi Temple.

Before Ayslyn knew it she was standing in front of the Skywalker's apartment, awaiting for someone to answer the door.

To her surprise, her own father answered the door.

"Ayslyn? What are you doing here?"

Obi-Wan stepped aside, and allowed Ayslyn to enter," I was looking for Luke-to tell him the news."

Obi-Wan smiled knowingly," He's not here right now, but I'm not sure where he went. You should ask Anakin."

Ayslyn nodded," How did Master Skywalker take the news, father?"

Instead of Obi-Wan answering, Anakin did.

"I think I took quite well, actually."

Ayslyn smiled," You always to." Obi-Wan snorted at the comment.

"If you're looking for Luke and Leia, they're in the dueling room," Anakin told Ayslyn.

Ayslyn thanked him, and left for the dueling room.

Leia was sitting on the floor talking with the Clawdite padawan, Meta Dogu. The two of them were watching some of the other padawan's duel each other with training sabers.

The people dueling at that moment were Luke Skywalker and Eron Yinn, a Twi'lek padawan, and one of Luke's closest friends.

Leia noticed a familiar blonde girl across the room, and waved her over.

Ayslyn felt out of place with the two older girls, Leia was fourteen, and Meta...well no one was sure how old she was, or what she looked like, being a Clawdite Meta was always changing her appearance.

"I heard you were moving," Leia said, turning to Ayslyn.

Ayslyn sighed," Does Luke know yet?"

Leia shook her head no," I was going to tell him when he was done dueling-"

"No, it's okay, I'll tell him myself."

Ayslyn turned to observe the duel," Who's winning?" She asked.

Meta answered her," Eron was winning," Ayslyn nodded, Eron was several years older than Luke," but now Luke seems to be getting the upperhand."

As she said that, Luke did a quick swoop swing, and Eron's lightsaber was knocked from his grip.

Eron was frowning, but Luke was boucning around in joy.

"I won!" Luke continued to do his victory dance, but after a few seconds Ayslyn went over to him.

"Luke?"

Luke glanced at Ayslyn. His electric blue eyes were glowing with contentment.

"Hey, Ays! Did you just see me beat Eron? He's three years older than me!" Luke boasted.

Ayslyn's mouth formed the ghost of smile. Luke caught on to her mood almost immediately.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

Ayslyn sighed," Can I talk to you alone?"

Luke shrugged," Sure."

The Hall of a Thousand Fountains was deserted when Ayslyn led Luke into it.

"Luke...my father was made the Jedi Watchman of Talus," Ayslyn told him, softly.

Luke beamed," That's great! Talus is a pretty planet, my father and I visited there last year..."

"No, Luke. A Watchman has to live on the planet they are watcing," Ayslyn explained.

Luke's smile faded.

"But-that means you'll have to live there!" Luke shouted. Ayslyn hushed him, and paused by the smallest fountain to admire it. It was ancient.

"I'm going to miss you," Ayslyn murmered," You're my best friend."

Luke paused for a second, and looked down at Ayslyn. She looked up at him, didn't they use to be about the same size? Since when had the two of them aged so much?

"You're my best friend, too," Luke replied.

There was a long silence.

"Hey," Luke added," You won't be gone that long. Only for a year or so."

Ayslyn shook her head," Some Watchman spend man years doing their job."

Luke gulped," When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow."
