Chapter 3 Peck's problem
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the weeks went on Anakin's lessons got harder, they were now in advanced lightsaber moves, and he was starting to train her in the force. The hard part was focusing, Romaine was easily distracted by minor things like what she going to have for breakfast.
He had to threaten to hit her upside her head to get her to pay attention, it didn't work for long but when he actually did start to hit her on the head (Not hard she has her parents for that,) she started to focus more.
He started with simple things like lifting a small rock, it wobbled terribly the first few times, but it started to go up more smoothly the more she practiced the easier it got.
After practicing using the force for lifting things, Anakin started teaching her how to use the force to tell if someone was sneaking up on her, and how to defend herself from things like a blaster.
He refused to teach her how to kill something with the force, she might kill someone by accident if she lost her temper, he told her to wait until she was older. She pouted (And threw a rock at his head when he wasn't looking) but agreed, she would wait.
--------------
Back in Romaine's world, things where going pretty good, well as good as they could get. She stopped slacking on her homework so her parents basically ignored her now.
They didn't beat her as often as they used to, they only did when she mentioned Star Wars or when her father was drunk. The last time he was she had to stay home from school for a week, in that week she discovered Star Wars.
In a way she was grateful to the old man, and that was the only thing, she quietly reviewed her current lesson with Anakin while she finished her homework.
When she was finished she finally, for the first time since the hot spring, relaxed. It was the weekend and her parents where going to be gone the whole time for their 15th honeymoon.
She sighed now that she was through with her homework she didn't know what to do with her time. In other words she was bored, and things happened when she was bored.
She decided to test her link with Anakin, she hadn't had time to study it, and now it was time to test its limits. "BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She laughed evilly, another question to be solved by the great Romaine T. Star!
She didn't even know how to begin…
'Ok start with what you know' she felt for Anakin she felt…
Sleeping…
Good he was still asleep, she attempted to feel for more, and felt nothing. She sighed, maybe the link did have limits. She was about to give up when she felt a small tingling.
'Interesting…' she pushed her mind toward the tingling, don't ask how she did it she just did. The tingling got stronger, and stronger until her whole body felt like it was vibrating.
It was a little bit over whelming, she shut her eyes tightly she couldn't escape! The tingling got worse and worse, when it was unbearable, it stopped.
She catiously opened her eyes, but she was not looking to her room. She was looking at a strange room. Then she realized something she was floating, she looked at her hands they where a pearly white, she checked the rest of her body, it was the same, except her legs she had a tail like thing there.
Now after Romaine gets bored and does something, and it goes terribly wrong, she panics. "AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH I'M DEAD SWEET MOTHER MOLASSAS I'M DEAD!"
After screaming for who knows how long, she started to get a grip on herself. "Ok, Cool it, everything is fine, I'm…. Dreaming!" she pinched her arm "OUCH!" she rubbed her arm, "Ok not dreaming," she muttered.
'Ok moving this… tail thing,' she moved 'forward, backward, left, right, up… UP!' she could fly! "Cool!" she shouted happily, now to find out where she was, it seemed familiar.
She explored the place, until she knew every nook and cranny. Then she saw a door, and confirmed her suspicions, 'Toto we are not on Earth anymore' she walked up to the door and went through it. (Another handy thing about this body)
She looked around the room, in the middle of the room was a bed, and on the bed was, Anakin, 'Hmmm can people hear me like this?' she wondered 'well only one way to find out' she took a step back and shouted. "MASTER!!!! WAKE UP!!!!"
Anakin shot of the bed light saber in hand, "I guess people can hear me," she said. "Romaine?" she looked back at her Anakin, "Yep in the fle.. Sprit?" he stood up and walked over to her.
"What did you do this time?" he asked in a stern tone, "I didn't do anything, I was just testing the link between us and it just happened!" her tail twitched as if she was an angry cat.
"Besides I can't fix it!" she growled "After I got over my earlier panic, I tried to get back but it didn't work!" she continued ranting until Anakin was ready to go to the temple.
"Romaine, do you want to stay here, or come with me?" Romaine looked up startled. Then nodded, "It can help me test my new theory,"
"What new theory, and when did you come up with it?"
Romaine smiled "When I was ranting, I don't even listen half the time I'm ranting," Anakin shook his head sadly, he would never understand Romaine.
"Just come on," he walked to his speeder, "Can you sit?" she shrugged "Only one way to find out," she jumped onto the seat and went right through. "AAAAAAAAaaaaaaRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrGGGGggggggggHHHHHHHhhhhhh"
"Romaine! Oh god I just killed my Padawan!" he shouted that got him some strange looks from passer by. 'ok that must have sounded weird, say something!' "Ummm, Is my favorite song at the Jedi Temple," that just got people to stare more 'Now what am I going to do' he thought.
"Don't you people have anything better to do then to stare at me," that got people moving. "That was the funniest thing I have heard in my life!"
he knew that voice.
"Romaine?!?"
A pearly figure floated up next to the speeder, "In the sprit!' she said cheerfully. Anakin glared at her "You better stay a sprit, because when your solid again I'm going to give you such a workout your great grandchildren will feel it!"
Romaine paled, if that was possible, she knew he meant it, "I'm going to die," she whispered sadly "Your going to kill me aren't you?" Anakin didn't answer, but his eyes said 'What did do you expect?'
"Hurry up they will notice I have been gone, can you make your self solid or not?" she nodded meekly, "Yes master."
She floated into the seat next to Anakin, and made her self a little solid, She wanted to sit down on a couch and practiced until she make her self a little solid, that was how she found out she could do it.
When they started moving she turned to Anakin, "Can I drive?"
----------------
Anakin pulled up to the temple, "For the last time you can not drive!" Romaine pouted, "But you got to drive a pod when you where 9!"
"How do… never mind, you still can't drive,"
"Anakin who are you talking to?"
---------------
Obi-Wan was worried, he still couldn't find out what was wrong with Peck, and now he finds Anakin talking to an empty seat. Anakin said that he was practicing for when he got a Padawan, but he didn't believe it, so they changed the topic.
They ended up talking about Peck. (Much to Anakin's disgust) he asked Anakin for his opinion, when he did he kept glancing to his left, "I don't know but I'll tell you if I find anything," he glared at a wall, "Excuse me," he said briskly and went toward the Padawan's sleeping area. 'where is he going?' Obi-wan wondered weakly, he never understood Anakin's moods.
He made a decision, he would follow Anakin and find out what was going on, Peck's problem could wait.
--------------
Anakin was desprately looking for Romaine, she had wandered off to look for Peck, she had asked for a discription of him, and when she didn't get it, she went to find him for himself.
She knew this place like the back of her hand, when he was late to get to sleep, she would explore the temple, she probably knew where every Padawan's room was.
He was so angry he didn't even notice the sound of footsteps behind him.
--------------
Romaine was looking for Peck, she couldn't find him anywhere, and she was sure she had seen his name somewhere around here! She kept glancing in rooms every once and a while, she was looking for someone she had never seen!
"Peck are you sure you want to do this?" she heard an worried whisper, "Yes, are you turning back?" Romaine floated right around the corner and saw a very pretty girl, with a boy, 'ladies and gentleman meet Peck!' she gave an evil smirk and floated right above the pair.
The girl shood her head vigorously, "No, b.but are you sure you want to give up the force?" Peck nodded "I'm sure, remember all you have to is meditate and push the force away, it's that simple, you don't want to be here anymore than I do right?"
The girl nodded nervously, "I want to go with you… but,"
Peck glared, "But what," the girl looked fearfuly at him.
"Why can't we jusk keep the force and run away together?"
"Because it will be easiest for them to find us that way," a quiet thudding sound was heard coming "Footsteps!" He hissed quietly, "Quickly get back to your room, and don't forget to meditate!" he yelled quietly after her.
-------------
Romaine waited untill the footsteps got closer, it was Anakin, "Master, I've found out what was wrong with Peck!" all the anger he had a minute ago left (for now) I'll tell her off for not staying close by later,'
"Whats wrong with him?" Romaine smiled "He's giving it up by meditating, he said that he was pushing it away," Anakin frowned that was bad, "Why would he do something like that?"
Romaine shrugged, "You intrupted me before I could find out more, but I think he is planning on running off with a girl," Anakin nodded "I'll go tell Obi-Wan, this time you will stay with me Romaine, no running off… floating off."
Romaine nodded "Yes master."
While they where talking they didn't notice that they where being watched, by a very confused Jedi.
