Sad part is I'm going into the eighth grade next year. *Sniff* I'm leaving our school board after I graduate… I'm leaving some of my longest friends, like my friend Tyler who I've known since I was 2! *Sniff* Anyway, back to the story, thank you to anon who reviewed my first chapter, I hope to hear more from you and others soon!

On with the story!


Neve was sleeping soundly in her bed. It would have been a weekend back home, so sleeping in was usual. Two hands shook Neve slightly. She slowly opened her eyes and came face to face with Obi-Wan. She jumped back in shock. "Damn it! Obi-Wan?" she said, louder than intended. They knew that because about a minute after the incident, Anakin and Ahsoka were inside the quarters. "What happened?" they asked in unison as they ran into the bedroom. "Nothing Anakin, just a misunderstanding," said Obi-Wan. Anakin didn't look convinced. "Are you sure Obi-Wan? That scream was pretty loud!" said Anakin. "I didn't scream. I may have been loud, but I didn't scream," said Neve. They all soon had a look of worry on each of their faces. They heard someone yell from the room next to them, "Help!" They all darted to the room next door. They were surprised to find newly Knighted Barriss Offee was hunched over a small body. The group soon were at her side. Neve noticed something… something familiar about this boy. Then it hit her, Sage.

'What is Sage doing here?' thought Neve, as they rushed the small boy to the Medbay. For a thirteen year old boy, he was pretty small. After running three thorough tests, the healers left Sage to rest. Neve sat on a chair beside the bed. Sage's eyes opened. He looked around, his gaze soon landed on Neve. "Sage! I'm so glad you're okay!" exclaimed Neve, hugging him. Sage rarely ever hugged anyone, but his family. The two stayed hugging for a few minutes, enjoying the company. They heard a throat clear behind them. Neve looked over Sage's shoulder and saw Obi-Wan, she let go of him. Sage fell back onto the bed. Neve let out a girly giggle. Obi-Wan looked at her suspiciously. "I see that you've become acquainted with our sudden visitor." Neve rubbed the back of her neck slightly. "Well according to the results, you are stable enough to leave. Though, the Council would like to see you first," said Obi-Wan. Neve helped Sage off the bed and led him outside. Obi-Wan followed. They got to the end of a long hallway. They could go up the stairs (the way that Neve got to the Council) or take the turbolift. Obi-Wan waited at the turbolift as Neve and Sage made their way there. Neve and Sage clung onto the railing as the turbolift started its way up. Obi-Wan just chuckled. The doors opened and they walked to the Council room. The rather large doors opened and the Council was seated in their usual circle. Neve stood by the door as Sage walked to the center. "What is your name?" asked Ki-Adi Mundi. "Sage. Sage Panapinto," said the boy. "You're midichlorian count is high enough for a Jedi. How about becoming one?" asked Plo Koon. Neve, as well as others, knew that Sage was not one to be a Jedi. He would go on and on about how he wanted to be a Sith and meet Darth Maul, and stuff like that. Neve held her breath as she awaited the answer. "I would be honoured to," said Sage. Neve looked genuinely surprised. "I would like him to be my padawan," said Jedi Master Kit Fisto. "That's seems fair. The ceremony shall start!" said Windu. Neve watched the same thing that happened the day before to her, happen to one of her closest friends.

Once the ceremony was over, Neve trotted to her quarters. She couldn't believe the day went by way faster than she thought it would. She sat at the egg chair by the window, she started singing:

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong

I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
(Yeah I'm) Falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
Picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself - nooohooo
[ Lyrics from: k/katy+perry/wide+awake_ ]
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again

Outta the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end - yeah

I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
(Yeah I'm) Falling from cloud 9

Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I am trying to hold on
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
But I'm not blind anymore...'cause I'm... wide awake

Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
(Yeah I'm) Falling from cloud 9

(Oh now I'm) Falling from cloud 9
It was outta the blue, I'm
Crashing from the high
(Yeah) I'm letting go tonight
Letting go of illusion
(Now I'm) Falling from cloud 9

Neve smiled to herself as she remembered one of her favourite songs. She hummed the tune as she readied for bed. She realized that she had worn the clothes for two days now. She went to the refresher and took a quick shower, letting her dark hair drench itself in water. She thought herself as an unappealing person. Her face was covered in freckles, and her glasses didn't do her any justice either. Her body was slim only due to genetics. Her hair was so dark that all you saw was black. Neve sighed as she towel dried most of her hair. She realized that she had no new clothes. She took her undergarments and washed them with soap and water. She rubbed them in a dry towel until they were bone dry. She slowly put them on. She wrapped the towel around her body and knocked on Obi-Wan's door. Obi-Wan groggily opened the door. He was surprised to see his padawan half naked in front of him. She kind of felt embarrassed for not thinking her plan through. "Do you have an extra shirt I could wear?" she asked, her cheeks a rosy colour and eyes on the ground. Obi-Wan got a shirt that was small for him but large on Neve. He made a note to take Neve shopping the next day. "Thank you Obi!" said Neve, as she went as quickly as she could to her room. She put the shirt on and it only reached a bit higher than her mid thigh. She snuggled back into her comforter and fell asleep….


I didn't know what just happened. Sorry if you wanted Lux in this chapter, but he's coming up soon. BTW I don't own 'Wide Awake' by Katy Perry, I was listening to it and it fit the mood. I guess you're wondering why the extra OC. Well, my friend was reading my FanFiction (aka Megan) and she wanted me to add someone else. Sage is a short, tanned skinned boy with brown eyes, and black mop-head hair. Thanks for all who are reading! TTYL!
