A/N: Okay. So this story is simplest to write, so I'll be working on this for prolly the next week until the muses get back. I'm doing my best to keep all the characters [even mine and Tori's!] in check. Am I doing bad at it? Is someone OOC? Let me know. Update will be sooner than you think so yeah...
Chapter 2: Jedi Knights
Ashley heard voices swimming around her. "Oh my," one said. It sounded like a man's.
"What the…hell?" Tori's familiar voice choked out.
Her eyes fluttered open and Ashley found herself being held up by a man that looked exactly like Obi-wan Kenobi from Star Wars. (Episode III, of course.) "W-Wha?"
"Are you alright?" he asked.
She blinked a few times, staring at him curiously. "W-Who are you?" she managed to finally say in a raspy voice.
"My name is Obi-wan Kenobi." He bowed his head slightly as he spoke.
"What are you doing in our living room Obi-wan?" Tori asked. She sounded as if she didn't believe he was really real; as if he was a figment of their imagination.
"I'm not sure. I was just in Corusant with Anakin…"
Ashley wiggled out of his hold and sat on the couch, picking up the cards her dropped on the floor. "I got Anakin too." She looked to Tori with a questionable expression.
"Why not?" Tori sighed.
Obi-wan looked at her curiously as he sat on the floor with his robe wrapped around him. "Anakin is here?" he asked.
Shaking her head, Ashley said, "I choose you Anakin!" She laid the card down on the coffee table a few inches from Obi-wan's card. There was a flash of light and Anakin was sitting on the table.
Obi-wan bolted up to standing and said, "What in blazes is going on? Anakin, we're supposed to be on Corusant."
Anakin Skywalker, sitting on the coffee table, looked at Obi-wan curiously. "What are you talking about Master?"
Noticing Anakin's short hair and padawan braid, Ashley groaned. "Tori," she whispered, "Anakin's from around the time of episode two and Obi's from episode three."
Tori let out a laugh. "Seriously? Ooh. This will be good…"
The two watched as Obi-wan looked Anakin over. "When did you cut your hair and-" He stopped mid question and said, "You look just as you did two years ago. Before you were knighted." His voice grew softer as he continued on. "Oh dear…"
Anakin looked at Obi-wan with a small smile. "You got your hair shorter Master. It looks nice."
Obi-wan looked at the floor and said, "Thank you." He shifted his robe tighter around him before looking at Ashley and Tori. "What have you done?" he hissed.
"Sorry," Ashley said, looking back and forth between the two Jedi. "I didn't know about this." She held up the other cards in front of her.
"Yeah she didn't know," Tori said while idly looking at the four cards she was given.
"No!" Ashley glared at her friend. "No more right now. Let's jus deal with these two." Tori rolled her eyes before nodding with a sigh. "Mater Obi-wan?"
He turned and looked at her with interest. "Yes?"
"Maybe you can help shed some light on our situation…"
"I can try. Force knows this is already confusing."
Ashley whispered to Tori, "Go talk to Anakin and offer him a drink while we figure this out."
Tori nodded and said, "Anakin, come with me to the kitchen. For a drink?" Anakin nodded and the two wandered into the kitchen.
Obi-wan let out a breath of relief. "Are you sure I'm not dreaming?"
Ashley laughed and told him, "I'm sure. I'm not dreaming either." She passed him a card.
He looked it over and asked, "Who is this?"
"Uh…this is Charlie. Somehow, you and Anakin came out from the cards."
Obi-wan looked up from the card and sent her a look of shock. "This must be a rare enchantment. I've never seen anything like this…"
She leaned forward and picked Obi-wan's card up from the coffee table. "This is your card." Ashley held up the card, presenting it to him.
"Sith… That IS me."
Snickering at his reaction, Ashley said, "Yup. So you think it's an enchantment?"
"It must be. What else could it be?"
She nodded and put the few cards into the pocket of her jeans carefully. "You don't mind hanging around for a while? Just until I get this figured out…"
"I guess it woulnd't be a problem. As long as the council…"
Ashley interrupted him. "Council, sm-ouncil. They won't mind." Quickly thinking, she said, "They told you to help me."
Obi-wan nodded. "It's settled then. We shall stay here until you figure out the matter of these cards."
With a nod and a smile, Ashley replied, "Awesome." She saw Kenobi look at her funny and she laughed. 'He doesn't understand the word.' She wandered into the kitchen and found Anakin showing Tori his lightsaber. Her expression turned to shock. "Tori, don't even think about it…"
Tori pouted and took the saber from Anakin gingerly. "I just wanna try it."
"Anakin, you should not let others toy with it," Obi-wan said from behind Ashley. She turned, startled by him, and frowned.
"Master, I doubt she'll be able to-"
"Holy crap!" Tori shouted. The blue plasma blade appeared with a sort of whoosh sound.
"Impressive," Obi-wan said. He walked towards her in the small kitchen, passing Ashley and Anakin. "You should have your midichlorian count checked. I sense potential in you."
Ashley cleared her throat. "Jedi start out young. She's twenty two."
"Yes, but she could be a healer. Perhaps a…"
"An aid with the younglings," Anakin said, cutting off his master with a proud tone. Obi-wan nodded in his direction with a smirk.
Ashley watched in awe. "D'you think…that maybe I could do something like that?"
Obi-wan crossed his arms, the baggy sleeves of his robe getting in the way slightly. "As I said before, if you have your midichlorian count checked you could have a place within the Jedi."
Grinning widely as she watched Tori hand the saber back to Anakin, Ashley said, "Well. I'm off."
Anakin looked at her with utter shock. "Where're you going?"
"…Out?"
Tori could be heard laughing as she and Obi-wan walked out into the living room.
She raised an eyebrow at Anakin, who seemed to be scowling with all his might. "You shouldn't go alone if someone placed an enchantment on you." His scowl softened as Ashley looked at him curiously.
She sighed and said, "Well we can't have you go outside in that…" 'Kinda would look...odd.'
"Why?"
"Because you won't blend."
"Jedi are respected," he said with a hint of pride in his voice.
Ashley laughed and said, "Oh ho Skywalker. You have much to learn." She patted his shoulder before walking out of the room. Both Tori and Kenobi were on the sofa, talking about midichlorians. 'Whatever those are.' With a plan brewing in her mind, Ashley wandered into her room.
