Sisters Saving Brothers
AN: This is my best friend's, Cierra Skywalker, first story. She's just using my account. Please review!
1. Part One
"Jade! Cierra! Wake up!" Cali whispered to her sleeping
sisters. "Huh? What? Oh right, breakfast. " Cierra said as
she whipped off the covers thereby awakening Jade. "Would it be
that hard to quietly slip out of bed?" complained Jade as she
watched her sisters throw on some clothes. "Get off the bed
Jade, we need to make it." Cali ordered as she finished pinning
up her hair. "I'm gonna go downstairs and start breakfast, Jade
you comin'?" asked Cierra. "Yep! Let's go!" she
responded, leaping down the stairs.
And so began another day in
the Lars house. The girls, nine year old triplets, were daughters of
Shmi Skywalker, a former slave. They were conceived without a father
and after they're mother married Clete Lars they began working on the
farm and were extremely good mechanics but didn't care much for
they're stepbrother or stepfather. Only a few months ago they had
learned of an older brother by the name of Anakin Skywalker. Upon
hearing that he had left Tatooine with a Jedi Knight and begun
training to become a jedi the girls had secretly decided that should
the chance ever come they would get away from Tatooine and go in
search of they're mysterious brother. Unknown to them, that chance
had just walked through the front door of the Lars' home.
Rushing
downstairs Cali found she was just in time to see a visitor arrive.
"Who're they?" she whispered to Cierra. "I'm not sure
yet." she replied eyeing the tall young man and the young woman
standing next to him. "Owen, who are they?" Cierra asked.
"They said they're names are Anakin Skywalker and Padme."
Cierra was so shocked by the news that her own brother was standing
just a few feet away, nearly dropped the tray she was carrying.
"Would you like some help?" offered the young woman. "I'm
fine thank you." replied Cierra, still in shock. Eager to share
her news with her sisters she quickly layed the tray down on the
table, took a quick look at Anakin and ran over to where her sisters
where standing. "Do you know who that is?" she exclaimed.
"Yes! " the two hissed at their sister. "Well gosh!
Don't kill me over it!" Cierra replied, annoyed. "Shush!"
whispered Jade, "We want to know why he's here!"
As it
turned out Anakin was there in search of Shmi. After Clete told them
what had happened and Anakin had left in search of their mother the
girls decided to spend some time with Padme and find out what they
could about Anakin and the galaxy away from Tatooine.
In the
morning the girls woke up to find the house extremely quiet and
everyone outside. . . . . by the family gravesites. Throwing on some
clothes the three girls ran outside to find out what had happened to
their mother. Seeing that the funeral was already underway they
guessed the awful truth. Shmi, their mother, was dead. "Poor
Anakin!" exclaimed Jade "To have come all this way to find
out that mom's dead." No reply came from her sisters. Not
knowing what else to do Jade started looking around. Suddenly she
spotted an extremely shiny starship. Oooo!
Ssssshhhhiiinnnnnyyyyyyyy! she thought. "Hey guys! Look at
that cool astro-droid! I want to touch it!" she said as she
skipped over to the starship and the droid. "Oh no! Jade come
back!" Cali called after her sister. "Come on, let's go
bring her back." said Cierra. Meanwhile, Jade was already
walking up the landing plank into the ship, fascinated by the droid.
Suddenly Jade stopped dead in her tracks. "Wow!" was all
that escaped her mouth. Running up to where they're sister stood
transfixed, the other two just stood there until they all shouted in
unison, "DRESS-UP!" The thing that had had the girls so
mesmorized was Padme's wardrobe. "Wow look at this one!"
squealed Cierra holding up an airy rainbow-colored halter dress.
After a few more "oooooo's" and "ahhhhhh's" from
the girls they were suddenly aware of a prescence aboard the ship.
"Quick! Hide!" whispered Jade motioning to a door off to
their left. "What's in there?" asked Cali as she opened the
door to go in. "Who cares!" Jade said impatiently. As the
three girls squeezed into the room and shut the door, Anakin and
Padme walked on board the ship. "What on earth happened to my
clothes!" Padme shrieked. "Wow!" was all Anakin could
say to the mess that had become Padme's room. "Oh well, let's
just go." said Padme. "Huh? Oh right." said Anakin
finally able to take his gaze off the mess and walk towards the
cockpit.
"Ow!" said Cali in a half whisper, half
squeal. "Could you possibly quit elbowing me Cierra?" "Look
I'm sorry Cali," replied Cierra. "But I need to put some
sort of cloaking device on us so Anakin won't know we're here."
"Whatever!" replied Cali. "Just get me or this stench
outta here! Where the heck are we anyways?" "Oh my. . . .!"
"What is it?" "I think we're in a 'fresher!"
exclaimed Cali, horrified. "What!" Cierra almost shouted.
After finding out they were in a refresher Cierra lost her
concentration on their cloaking device. Thereby alerting Anakin to
three new prescences aboard the ship. "Padme take over the
controls I need to use the 'fresher." Anakin instructed.
Now
of course Anakin didn't really need to. . . . well you know, but he
didn't really want to worry Padme either. As Anakin neared the door
he heard hushed voices that sounded to him like young girls. Very
quietly he walked over the refresher door and opened it to find three
arguing girls. "Uh oh." they said in unison. "That's
right." said Anakin. "Now do you mind telling me who you
are and why you're on my starship?" Walking out of the room into
the cockpit the girls began their story. "Our names are Cali,
Cierra and Jade and we're your sisters." Jade bluntly explained.
"Well that needs a bit more explaination." replied Anakin.
"It's kind of a long story." Cali began. "It's still a
couple of hours until we reach our destination." interrupted
Anakin. "I'd say there's plenty of time." "Ok then
here we go." Cierra said, letting out a heavy sigh.
Two and a
half hours later the ship came out of hyperspace. "That's some
story." Anakin said. "Yeah." replied Cali,
absent-mindedly. Following Cali's gaze, Jade looked out the window to
see a large planet looming in front of them. "Where are we?"
she asked. "Geonosis." Padme replied. Cierra was still
chatting with Anakin. "Now tell me how did you cloak your
prescence. I know you couldn't just keep quiet." asked Anakin.
"Well I'm not really sure. I just concentrated really hard and
it happened." Cierra replied. "And can Jade and Cali do
that too?" he asked. "Yes, I think so." she said. They
must really be my sisters to be that force sensitive and not even
know it. thought Anakin. "Anakin we need to find a place to
land." Padme called out from the front of the cockpit. As Anakin
walked up to the front Padme mentioned some steam vents up ahead.
"Those'll do." replied Anakin, moving the ship into
position. After the ship landed, Padme and Anakin prepared to leave.
"Stay here!" ordered Anakin forcefully. I can't loose
them too. he thought. "Ok, ok!" said Jade. "We'll
be here when you get back." "Oh and no more dressing-up,
please." Padme told them with a knowing look. Smiling
sheepishly, the three girls agreed with a nod of their heads.
After
Anakin and Padme left the girls decided that eventually their help
would be useful. "Oh what the heck, let's follow 'em!" Cali
said passionately. "But we said we'd stay here." Jade
reminded them. "No we didn't, you said that we would be here
when they got back and I'm sure we can manage that." "Ok."
said Jade, caving in easily. Rushing outside the ship the girls went
into the hall and eventually found themselves in a droid factory.
"Wow! Cool!" exclaimed Jade. "You can't touch it!"
Cali said. Giggling, they dropped off the platform onto the walkway
extending across the entire factory. After a long walk they
eventually found themselves outside amidst a major battle. "Wow."
was all that came out. Cali was the first to come to her senses.
Picking up a mutilated droid's blaster she began firing random shots
at the sea of droids, jedis and a few creatures she wasn't too sure
about. Following their sister's lead, Jade and Cierra picked up more
discarded blasters and began firing at droids. After a few minutes of
fighting everything suddenly stopped. A loud voice bommed over the
arena. "Surrender now and your lives will be spared." it
said. Then another voice answered it, "We will not be hostages
to be bardered for, Dooku." Unable to hear the reply the girls
judged by the acts of the droids. They all raised they're weapons and
just as they were about to fire. . . . ."Look!" came a
familiar voice. Looking up the girls spotted their salvation. Dozens
of clone trooper ships. "Whoopie!" they shouted. Suddenly a
strong arm lifted up Cierra and told the other two to follow. It was
Anakin. "I could've sworn I told you to stay on the ship."
he said, smiling, as they boarded a transport and were lifted to
safety. "Well you know we did say we'd be here when you got
back." replied Jade with a smirk. "Who are these brave
young ladies?" came a voice from behind Anakin. "Master,
I'd like you to meet my sisters. Girls, this is my master, Obi-Wan
Kenobi." "Hello it's nice to meet you." replied Jade
and Cali politely. But instead of saying hello Cierra picked up her
blaster and shot a droid that had made it's way on top of the ship
and was about to shoot Obi-Wan in the back. "Dang!" Anakin
said, amazed. "Thank you very much indeed, young one." said
Obi-Wan as he kicked the droid off the ship. "You're welcome and
it's a pleasure to meet you." Cierra replied. The ship landed
for a moment to drop off a couple of jedi and some clone troopers
then took off again. "Look there's Dooku!" shouted Anakin
pointing to a speeder straight ahead. "Shoot him!" was
Anakin's first response to situation. However when informed that they
were out of ammunition his next plan was to follow Dooku. Suddenly a
shriek came rose up fromt the ship. "Padme, girls, no!"
Anakin shouted as he watched his sisters and true love fall to the
ground.
When the girls gained consciousness again they found
themsleves in an extremely unfamiliar place. Though they didn't know
it they were in the medical chambers of a nubian starship. Before
they could get up Padme walked in with a tray. "Now you three
just lay back down and let me feed you this." she said before
nay of them had a chance to protest. While Padme was feeding them and
giving some medication she explained what had happened and that they
were on they're way to Coruscant, the capitol of the Republic. "If
you girls wish to, Anakin has proposed that you go to the Jedi Temple
and begin your training to become jedis. "Wow, really!"
they exclaimed in unison. "Yes. Anakin and Master Kenobi are
under the impression that you're all extremely sensitive to the
Force." "The Force?" asked Cali. "What's that?"
"I think a jedi could explain that better." replied Padme.
After a few more questions Padme left and the ship arrived at
Coruscant.
When the girls walked off the ship onto the landing pad
they were greeted by Obi-Wan. "Hello and welcome to Coruscant."
he said. "Hello Master Kenobi. Where is Anakin?" questioned
Jade. "He received an assignment from the Council to escort
Senator Amidala back home to Naboo." he replied. "Oh, I
wish he would have said goodbye first." said Cali. "Don't
worry, you'll see him again. That is if you decide to join the Order
and begin your training to become jedis." said Obi-Wan. "We
are resolved to become jedis like our brother." Cierra replied.
"Good." Obi-Wan said. "I'll take you to the Temple
immediately. Come." As the girls followed Obi-Wan they thought
of what this new life would be like. Intense training morning, noon,
and night? Or perhaps going from class to class until you're nearly
worn out? Or maybe it would be just the right amount of everything.
