xXHiKaRi_ShIrOuXx : Hey everyone! I'm starting this new SW fanfic, and I hope you enjoy it. Please don't put up any flames, and if you have to critic it… Please critic it gently… ^^

Ahsoka: But where have you been for these past months? You haven't touched your fanfic account for a LONG time!

xXHiKaRi_ShIrOuXx : Huh? But I had exams, Ashoka. ^^"

Anakin: I thought it was because your work got criticized so badly by others that you became depressed and refused to type another story on again?

xXHiKaRi_ShIrOuXx : -_-"

Obi-wan: Anakin, you just made her depressed. Again.

Anakin: O_O …I thought she said she didn't mind?

Ahsoka: Errrmmm, anyway… xXHiKaRi_ShIrOuXx does not own anything from star wars clone wars and whatever star wars franchise that exists, except her OC in this story- Claire Aschlock. Soltaria Levin belongs to a friend of hers.

Anakin: But it's true! She even deleted all her other ideas and plans for her next update! She thought she was screwed up in writing! Besides, she had good reviews in the end too right?

xXHiKaRi_ShIrOuXx : (Activates light saber) :(

Ahsoka: Master, I think she's only mad at you for reminding her about the bad reviews.

Anakin: Oh crap.

Chapter 1: Wish granted

A year ago…

The first thing I remembered was my butt landing with impact onto the concrete ground from the comfy silk seat of a limousine. I winced and glared at the man who was seating next to me. His name was Napoleon McKenzie, but I dubbed him 'Napoodle Kentucky', ever since I found out he absolutely loved French poodles and roast chicken. He was supposed to be my legal guardian since my parents passed away.

Napoleon smirked. "Do you think I had take in a filthy peasant child like you? Your mother was a fool to elope with that poor army boy!"

I gritted my teeth in seething anger. "Don't you dare make fun of my parents, Uncle Napoodle."

"It's Napoleon McKenzie to you, miss!" He snorted. "As of now, you are no concern of mine. Just like that useless sister of mine who married that penniless brute!"

I snapped and lunged at that no-good-for-nothing rich old snob. He screamed in terror as I yanked his expensive leather suit and curly moustache.

"Let go- Ouch- of me! You- Ow- You filthy peasant!"

"Not until you apologize! You jerk!"

"NEVER!!"

The driver was getting worried at the commotion behind him, as the fistfight ensued, followed by slapping and a whole lot of struggling. Soon, I was booted out of the limousine by Napoleon yet again. I turned to face him with a glare.

"You won't get away with this," I hissed.

"Foolish little girl, who would want to help you exact that sort of revenge? It's not like you have any kin who could file a law suit on me!" A maniacal 'Napoodle' laugh echoed from the streets as the silver limousine drove away from me.

And you know what happened next?

The next day, I was found by a social worker, Soltaria Levin, while wandering aimlessly around the streets. It turns out she knew my parents and upon learning about my situation, she marched right down to the police station and filed a lawsuit. No matter how much Napoleon begged, Soltaria was bent on suing him and bringing justice once and for all. Which would of course flush his reputation down the toilet. I was quite amazed at how she could make Napoleon kneel and kiss her feet for mercy. In the end, they made a deal. Soltaria will drop the lawsuit if Napoleon could get them a place to stay.

In just two days, Napoleon got us a new 3-storey white house located in the nice and quiet part of the city.

It's been a year since I began living with Soltaria, who kept me home-schooled and lets me have the fun during the vacation period. She was my best friend.

Now, my 16th birthday approaches…

##########

"Happy Birthday, Claire!" Soltaria squealed in glee with a humongous chocolate cake shoved at my face.

"Thanks Soltaria," I smiled.

"Go on, make a wish!" She excitedly urged.

I laughed and did so, blowing the candles after I made the wish.

"Sooooo what's the wish, Claire Bear?"

"Oh, the usual. Just you and me being a healthy and happy family."

Soltaria eyed me for a while and then sighed. "Claire…"

"Oh hang on! Star Wars Clone Wars is starting now!" I quickly dived for the couch and grabbed the remote, clicking the button to turn the TV on.

Soltaria sighed again and sat beside me as we watched clones take out droids and Ahsoka fighting against Grievous.

"Don't you get tired of watching Star Wars?" Soltaria asked.

I grinned sheepishly. "Nope."

"Claire Bear, escaping into star wars isn't stopping me from knowing your wish."

I stared at Soltaria blankly.

"You miss them don't you?"

I shifted uneasily on my seat as Soltaria brought up the past.

"Your Dad was a hero, Claire. As for you mom…"

"Don't-

"It wasn't your fault that she died. Claire, she was just-

I stormed off to my room upstairs, covering my ears as I yelled, "Some birthday!" I slammed the door to my room shut and crawled onto my bed. My pillow muffled my cries.

##########

Soltaria cleaned up the plates in the kitchen, scrubbing off any dirt found on the shiny pltes.

"Way to mess up one birthday, Soltaria Levin," she muttered to herself.

She looked around secretly and after confirming that Claire had fallen asleep, she placed the plates in the sink and snapped her fingers. Soon, the dishes floated in the air with a violet glow and began cleaning themselves.

Then, her hand phone rang and she picked it up. "Hello?"

"Soltaria! Where is that report on your mortal? I've been waiting for three freakin' hours!" Bailey, her assistant at work, yelled right into her ear.

Soltaria winced at the volume, taking a mental note of lowering her phone volume the next time Bailey called. "Sheesh, don't get yourself tied in a knot, I'll get it done ASAP," She assured nonchalantly.

"You better! Otherwise the boss will have my ass for this! Anyway, how are you doing?"

That's right. Soltaria Levin was no ordinary being. In fact, she is an angel in charge of looking after her mortal, Claire Aschlock, until her time was up. At least, that's her job for now by God.

"I'm guessing something bad happened," Bailey muttered.

"She misses her family, Bailey."

"It can't be helped. All mortals who lost their loved ones get into depression mode whenever they think of them. You're lucky she didn't attempt suicide to join them."

Soltaria flared up. "Don't you dare think of such a thought!"

"Ok, ok, yeesh! You don't have to get all fed up!"

Soltaria held her temples in dismay. "Bailey, I just wish I can do something…"

"Well, you can adopt a kid, but you can't adopt a family," Bailey replied vaguely.

Just then, an idea appeared in Soltaria's mind. She smirked.

"Crap, I just gave you the idea didn't I?"

"Sort of."

"Aw man… I don't like the sound of that," Bailey gulped. "You know that reviving the dead is against the rules right?"

Soltaria headed out of the kitchen and towards the basement. "Bailey, you know that summoning spell we learned back at training classes? Since I can't revive a mortal, and I don't know how…Why not just summon enough people from another universe to make a family for Claire Bear?"

"Are You CRAZY? That's also against the rules! Only worse, with bigger punishments!"

"I know," Soltaria said, "But it's the only way I can cheer poor Claire up."

"Mom was right, I should have taken up office work in another department," Bailey mumbled with much regret.

"No time to waste! See ya later, Bailey!"

"WAIT-

Soltaria hang the home and turned on the lights of the dark and creepy basement. She walked towards the dusty boxes in the corner and opened it. She coughed at the dust blown onto her face and quickly took out an old 'Star Wars The Clone Wars' poster. She smiled.

##########

I woke up with a startle upon hearing a loud 'BOOM' from the basement. I slipped out of my bed uneasily, still clad in my blue kitten patterned pajama shirt and pants. I slowly opened my bedroom door and tiptoed downstairs to source of the noise. As I passed by the kitchen, I noticed a strangel purple sparkle around them.

"Weird…"

The voices were getting louder as I approached the door of the basement and it sounded like there were people… quarreling?

"Why have you brought us here?" A strange yet familiar voice echoed from the dark room.

"Look guys, erm… I'm sorry about this, but right now I'm kind of in need of a favor from you guys."

I gasped, recognizing Soltaria's voice.

"But where are our fellow comrades?" Another strange voice demanded. "And where in the force are we?"

Wait a minute.

"Technically, you're in the basement of my house and as for your comrades, they… aren't here."

"General, should we search the place?" An even more familiar voice asked.

It can't be!!

"If we may? Miss?"

"It's Soltaria, and I assure you, there is no threat in this house."

I slammed open the door and ran down the stairs to confront the intruders.

"Hold it right there!" I ordered, grabbing the nearest weapon I could find: A Baseball bat.

In a flash, I found myself threatened with three light sabers and a blaster. I stared at the clone trooper with blue stripes, the jedi-knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi, and finally the jedi padawan, Ahsoka Tano.

I meekly raised my hands and dropped my weapon. "Erm… I surrender?"

It would have been so great to meet them… If only they weren't ready to kill me.

"It seems that you have a threat, Soltaria," Anakin said.

"Nani (What)?" I was flabbergasted.

"Sir, should we apprehend him?" Captain Rex, the clone trooper asked.

Him? He wouldn't be referring to-

I felt my temper rising and without thinking I blurted out, "FOR GOD'S SAKE! I'M A GIRL!"

The SW characters were dumb-founded. Man, I know I didn't have the big boobs and hourglass figure, but come on! The only things I got for looks were short black wispy hair, black big and round eyes and a sort of petite frame.

Soltaria cleared her throat. "Guys, meet my friend, Claire Bear Aschlock."

"Soltaria!"

"I mean, Claire Aschlock," She grinned in an embarrassed way.

The SW characters put down their weapons and I glowered at Soltaria. "What did you do?"

"I thought you would be happy to see them," She innocently replied.

"Happy? HAPPY?! You got me freakin' worried! I thought we were under attack by terrorists or something!"

Soltaria nervously scratched the back of her head. "Well, you see, I thought you could use some cheering up, so I tried to conjure a spell to summon these guys who can be your surrogate family."

I stared at her blankly and glowered. "You know you can't replace my dead parents just like that! What are you? A fairy oddparent?"

"No! I'm an angel assigned to watch over you by God and I don't have a wand or wear those cheesy wings and crowns!"

I scoffed, and folded my arms, putting on a 'glare of doom'. "You used your magic to wash the dishes?"

"Yeah, how did you know?" Soltaria asked.

"The purple sparkle was an obvious clue."

"Damn, my spells are still in need of work," She muttered.

I turned to the SW characters and then back to Soltaria. "Ok, I believe and forgive you. Are these the only guys you summoned?"

"Yay! Thanks Claire Bear!" Soltaria hugged me.

"Soltaria!"

"Well…" Soltaria's voice trailed off ominously.

I eyed her suspiciously. "Soltaria…"

"Ok, I may have botched the spell a little and the rest of the characters may be wandering around the streets by now-"

"WHAT? How many characters were you planning on summoning?" I nearly screeched.

"I don't know! Enough to make a family I guess!" She began counting with her fingers. "Maybe five, six, seven-"

"It doesn't have to be that big!"

"But you need to count the uncles, aunts, grandpas…"

"Soltaria! We got to find those characters before they wreck havoc!"

"I know, I know, but shouldn't we deal with the ones here first?" She asked, jabbing a finger over to the four SW characters talking among themselves.

I glanced at them helplessly and slapped my forehead.

"You're lucky this is summer vacation…" I muttered with a hint of malice and dread.

"Don't worry, we'll start tomorrow. I'm going to get punished for this anyway," Soltaria grimaced.

"By God?"

"Who else?"

I turned to the SW characters. "Erm, sorry about earlier, but you guys can stay in our home for the time being until we find a solution for this mess, ok?"

They exchanged glances to each other and nodded.

"I supposed it won't hurt," Obi Wan said.

After a short introduction from the characters, I led them upstairs to the spare bedrooms. Thankfully, there were enough for each of them. Soltaria passed me the extra blankets and pillows, and I gave them a set each. Each of them said their thanks and soon I found myself bidding them goodnight like a mother would do for her kids.

Ok, that was a little stupid, but it all felt like a dream to me. It's not like everyday you get to meet Star Wars characters right? I snuggled into my warm blanket and let sleep take over me.

"Ouch!" I woke up at the yelp of Soltaria from downstairs, who had decided to take the couch and spare Ahsoka her room.

Somehow, I had a feeling that the mayhem was about to begin.
