Chapter 3... A New Friend
Rilme Kenobi had just finished lightsaber class, the last class she had before lunch. Checking the chrono on the wall, she saw that there was still thirty minutes before lunch.
Since Obi and Rilla were still in their lightsaber class and Bant had gone for a swim before lunch, she decided to go for a short walk.
Rilme was near the entrance of the temple when she heard two knights near talking. Looking around, she silently walked closer to the two knights so she could hear what they were saying.
"...What time do you think they are going to arrive?" The Twi'lek Knight asked.
"I don't know. But I do know that it's a class ranging from six to eight, and that they will be here sometime today," The Rodian Knight answered.
~Maybe that's why we only had Force class this morning and political class and lightsaber class afterwards with nothing after lunch, instead of both history and political classes at midday and physical classes, like lightsaber practice, this afternoon.~ Rilme thought to herself.
Rilme decided to head to the Room of a Thousand Fountains next sinse she still had about another twenty minutes before lunch.
Five minutes later...
Rilme was just entering the Room of a Thousand Fountains when she saw Bant swimming in one pools.
"Hi Bant!" Rilme called to Bant once Bant spotted her.
"Hi Rilme," Bant called back to her, "I take it Obi and Rilla were not done when you came out."
Rilme pretended to pout. "Nope." Bant, who was now drying off, laughed at the face her friend made.
"Well," Bant said still laughing, "I guess we better head to the Dining Hall before we're late." And then the two ran off to the Dining Hall.
When the two got to the Dining Hall, they saw Obi and Rilla standing near the entrance with two of their other friends, Garen Muln and Reeft.
A/N: If you have read the Jedi Apprentice books than you know who Garen and Reeft are. If not, you can look it up online or somewhere else. By the way, Reeft's last name is never mentioned anywhere.
"Hey, you two actually got here," Garen joked once Bant and Rilme were close enough to hear without shouting.
"Haha very funny," Rilme said sarcastically once she and Bant were beside them.
"I found it funny," Obi-Wan said as they walked in to the Dining Hall and got in line.
After they had all gotten their food and found a table, Rilme got up, "I'm going to go get some water if anyone wants some."
"I'll take some," Bant said. Nodding Rime made sure nobody else wanted some before going off to get Bant and her some water.
Rilme was on her way back to the table when she nearly ran into someone.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there," She apologized. Making sure she hadn't spilled any of the water, she looked up to see who it was she had nearly trampled.
A human boy about her age was standing in front of her. The boy had short brown hair and green eyes and was about two inches taller than her.
Back at the table, the others were watching the exchange. "Who do you think she's talking to?" Rilla asked no one in particular.
"I have no idea," Bant replied.
"I don't think I've ever met you before. My name's Rilme Kenobi, what's yours?" Rilme asked curiously.
"My name is John Eben. And the reason we've never met is because I'm from the Corellian Jedi Temple." The boy, who's name she now knew was John Eben, replied.
"Oh, well it was nice to meet you, John." Rilme said as she started to head back to her table.
"You too. Maybe we will run into each other again before I leave today." John called to her before continuing to his original destination.
Once Rilme had gotten back to the table and sat down, Rilla decided to ask Rilme who she was talking to.
"His name is John Eben. He and some others from the Corellian Temple are here for a visit," Rilme replied.
After that they started talking about their classes and what they were going to do after lunch.
Two hours later found the six on of their favorite spots in the Room of a Thousand Fountains. They were behind the waterfall of their favorite swimming areas. Of course everyone knew about it, but most didn't care to go behind the waterfall.
"Ok, so we still have about three hours before dinner so what does everyone want to do?" Obi-Wan asked his friends and sisters.
Garen was the first to speak up. "How about we have a swimming..." He stoped speaking when someone entered the cave like room.
"Oh, hi, John," Rilme waved once she saw who it was.
"Hi Rilme," John smiled at her.
"Do you want to join us?" Rilla asked him.
"Sure," John said. Rilme scooted down some and patted the ground beside her looking at John.
After everyone was situated Garen, continued, "As I was saying, how about we have swimming competition?"
"Sounds fine to me," Bant said, the others nodded their heads in agreement.
"Before we start," Reeft spoke for the first time during the exchange, "can we find some fruit in case anyone gets hungry?"
In the three hours before dinner, the seven kids had a swimming competition, played tag, hide and seek, showed John their rooms, colored, and had a reading competition.
Now they were standing in one of the hanger bays, in front of the ship that would take John back to the Corellian Temple, saying their goodbyes.
"It was fun meeting you guys, I had a lot of fun," John was saying.
"It was good to meet you too," Rilla said as Obi-Wan shook hands with John.
"Come back and visit," Garen said.
"I'll try," he said.
"You have to," Reeft started, "we still haven't had an eating contest."
That caused everyone to start laughing.
"See you next time," Bant said, smiling sweetly. John returned the smile and then looked over at Rilme.
"It was nice meet you, John," she smiled.
"You too, Rilme," he answered. "Friends?"
"Friends," she nodded. And with that, John turned and walked up the ships ramp and to his other friends.
Sorry it took so long to update. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. And hopefully the next three chapters won't take so long. Yes, that's right I have plans for the next three chapters, and hopefully I'll get around to writing The Zoist Excursion soon.
Please Read and Review, but no flame. Thanks!
