Hey guys! And welcome to chapter 3! I want to say thank you to all my reviewers and reviews everyone gave! This story feels so loved! Now on to the read!

oOo

The following morning, Master Windu woke us up. Both he and Master Yoda wanted us to train with our lightsabers so we could get a feel how we would wield it. At first when we started we…well…we sucked to put it bluntly. And I thought this would be easy.

"My dad said that a sword is like having your arm extended a bit. It's apart part of us now so we have to be careful when we're using it. Right Master Yoda?" Nala asked.

"Yes. Use the force to guide you, you must." Master Yoda replied. We would switch on and off between Master Windu and one of us. Which is cool except that master Windu doesn't go easy on you.

The next two days, we continued to work on our lightsabers. We were learning quickly so Master Windu moved us to hand-to-hand combat. Piece of cake. We were a bit rusty but soon our black belts began to show. Knowing that we were capable of handling ourselves in a fight, we continued to practice with our lightsabers.

We did get to explore the rest of the temple though. But Master Yoda said that we couldn't go outside until Anakin and Obi-wan arrived. We found the library and did some reading. The librarian was nice to us. She showed us some databases and some useful stuff such as languages. I also found a small green house that's covered in plants. It was near the medical wing that I've walked past before.

I was the one, who was most fascinated with it while Nala preferred the training room. So many plants lined the walls and shelves, it seemed like you were walking through a jungle.

"Hello, youngling. What are you doing here?" came a voice. I turned to my left to see Master Luminara. She was picking the petals off of a plant, whose flowers reminded me of a young rose.

"Hello Master Luminara. I didn't see you there." I spoke a little shyly.

"It's quite alright. Enjoying the green house?" she asked me.

"It's very beautiful. I didn't realize that there was so many plants. These are healing plants right?" I asked. She nodded and smiled.

"Quite observant aren't you? Yes, these plants are for healing." She said and looked around the room.

"Who decided to build a green house in the temple?"

"One of the mightiest, bravest, purest jedi that ever lived. My best friend. You carry her lightsaber." He gestured to my waist where my lightsaber hung.

"This was hers? Why would Master Yoda give this to me?" I asked holding it out for her to take it. She held up her hand and returned her gaze to what she was doing.

"You need it more than she does now. Besides, you'll need all the help you can get once you leave. Consider it a gift from her to you. She would want you to have it." she spoke and pushed the lightsaber back at me. I glanced at the lightsaber and then at her. I could tell there was pain in her eyes but also joy.

We talked a length, which felt weird but yet, enjoyable. She asked me questions about my world and what was it like. I told her that we haven't explored outside of our galaxy even yet our own planet. She laughed and patted me on my head. Then we switched and I asked her about things I should know and things I should do now that I would be leaving soon.

"Scar, there you are!" came Nala's voice. I turned to see her in the door way with her hands on her hips.

"Sorry. I guess I lost track of time. Time flies when you're having fun, you know." I smiled at Luminara and she smiled back.

"Master Windu wants us to practice again! We only have three more days until Anakin and Obi-wan get here!"She exclaimed.

"I know, I know." I turned to Luminara, "it was nice talking to you. I hope we get a chance to talk soon."

"It was nice talking to you too. And here," she handed me a leather bound book, "it may come in handy when you're with Skywalker. You know how he is." She grinned.

"Thank you. Bye Master Luminara." I turned and walked out of the room.

"Bye Luminara!" Nala called. Luminara waved back and returned to her work, "we're going to be late you know."

"Well let's get moving!" I raced ahead. Nala shouted something and ran after me. Once the door closed, Luminara glanced back at the door. Her smile turned soft as she reached inside her robe for the thin chain that held something dear to her. She took it out and unclasped the back of it to set it down beside her. Gently she opened it up and allow the soft music to play. At the end, a female voice was heard above the soft music.

"Happy birthday! I know how much you like this song when we traveled. I remember you always humming it. Don't stop that smile from always showing people how you feel. There's no need to be so lifeless. Know I will always have your back. Happy birthday Luminara. Hope your birthday wish came true." Luminara smiled and glanced at the door once more.

"It did sister. It did. Thanks to you."

oOo

The three days went by fast as we continued to practice with our lightsabers. The day before, Aayla and Luminara took us down to the markets and helped us buy some clothes to change into while we stayed Anakin and Obi-wan. When the day for us to leave finally came, Nala and me were sitting in the meeting room with Master Yoda in the middle of us.

"Master Yoda their late." Nala groaned. Master Yoda, who had been meditating, opened one eye to look at her.

"Near they are. Patience you must have. Like all jedi, we move with the force, but do not force it." he spoke and closed his eye.

"Master Yoda's right. They'll get here when they get here." I spoke over the book I was reading. Nala grumbled and went back to picking her nails. I went back to reading the book Master Luminara gave me or rather a journal she gave me. it was filled with notes on plants that would help just about anything ranging from headaches to extreme burns. There were side notes on where and how to obtain them and how to make it as well. From the handwriting, I could tell a female wrote this along with how old this book really is.

"Master Yoda, you called us." Came a voice. We looked up to see Anakin Skywalker, Obi-wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano walk into the room. I looked over at Nala whose eyes were as big as dollar quarters. I smiled but I couldn't help but squeal out in joy in my head. Man are the fan girls going too pissed if I ever get home!

"Yes. News I have. Two assistants you now have. Help you, they will." Master Yoda spoke.

"What I don't need help!" Anakin objected.

"Master Yoda why does Anakin need assistants?" Ahsoka asked.

"He must have a good reason if he brought all three of us in here." Obi-wan spoke this time.

"Good reason, I have. Must speak alone, things are not ready to be revealed." Master Yoda said and looked over at me. I nodded and stood up gabbing Nala with me.

"We'll be waiting outside." I said and we grabbed our bags. The door closed softly behind us. Once we walked outside the door slid closed behind us.

So our wait began…

"What's with all the secrets?" Nala exclaimed as she looked out the window where she sat at. I had to agree with her there. Sure, we're new comers but if they didn't trust us then why would they give us lightsabers of their greatest jedi? It really seems that they don't want us to find the truth in the matter.

"I don't like it either but remember that we're visitors here. They have a right to keep stuff from us." I told her.

"I never thought that I would doubt a jedi. No wonder this war started! They have no feelings!" she slumped against the wall and slid to the floor.

"Don't say that."

"Well it's true! How can you not feel guilty about knowing what's going to happen! It's like getting away with murder!"She practically shouted.

"It's not like we can just walk up to the Jedi Counsel and say "I know you're all going to die and I know who….."I stopped in midsentence. Fear struck my chest.

"What? "I know who, what?" she asked getting up and sitting next to me on the bench.

"I know who's pulling the strings to the Sith." I said just above a whisper. I looked over to see her orange eyes glow like fire. Whenever she was hell bent on something, her eyes would always get darker and glow as if they were ever on fire.

"Senator Palpatine." Nala hissed, 'we could tell them and this war would be over, you know?" Nala's voice from a hiss to whisper in my ears.

"We don't have proof. He covers his tracks with a fine toothcomb. How can we?" I asked a little louder.

"There's us. We know almost everyone and know what's going to happen! We can do this!" she said.

"I don't know Nala…."

"Just consider it. I think we'll be spending a lot of time here…" she said and rested her head on my shoulder.

oOo

About ten minutes after Master Yoda sent us out of the room, the door opened and the four walked out. Anakin, Obi-wan, and Ahsoka walked behind Master Yoda as they came out and stood in front of us.

"Go with them, you will." Master Yoda said.

"You told them?" Nala asked.

"Master Yoda explained what had happened over the past week. I'm sure we'll get along nicely." Obi-wan spoke with a smile on his lips."

"Now I have two more to look after." Anakin mumbled loud enough for us to hear.

"Sky guy we know how to take care of ourselves. The problem is that we don't know our way around. The rest of the Jedi are already busy with very important work. They don't need us to screw things up. As for you sky guy you can dig us out of it." I said with a smile on my lips. Anakin grumbled and turned to Ahsoka.

"Ahsoka go back aboard the ship and make sure that our new visitors have rooms to sleep in. I'll take them and deliver the message to Senator Amidala. Got it Snips?" He asked his padawan.

"Right, gotcha."She reached for our bags but we stopped her.

"That's alright. We'll carry our own bags." Nala spoke softly. Ahsoka smiled and started to walk down the hall with Obi-wan. I turned to Master Yoda to say thank you, as did Nala.

"Thank you for everything. I promise you that we'll try and be the best jedi you've ever trained. And I hope we'll see each other soon." I knelt down and hugged master Yoda.

"Yeah. Thank you Master Yoda. For once, I actually feel like us coming here wasn't such a bad thing after all." Nala too, knelt down and hugged him.

"May the force be with you." He spoke.

"And you as well." Nala and me spoke at the same time. We waved our finial good-bye at Master Yoda and followed Anakin to our new adventure.

oOo

We took a small transport to the Senate building to deliver a message to Senator Amidala. Nala and me snickered when we saw the look he gave her. He asked why but was only said it was a joke that we had just remembered. He waved it off and lead us inside her office. Once inside it was hard not to see them try to be together. Wither it was a simple touching of the hand or how he would lean over her shoulder close enough to feel the warmth of her, one look and you could tell there was something going on. However, it was getting old when we stopped laughing our asses off (inside our heads of course) and settled down.

"Thank you General Skywalker. Say hi to Ahsoka once you get back to your ship. And it was nice to meet the both of you." Padme said. That snapped us to attention.

"It was nice to meet you too Senator." Nala spoke for us. Padme smiled then turned to Anakin. I could see that in their eyes that they wanted to be left alone and spend some time together however, we just had to come in and ruin it….and I've had enough of the puppy-dog looks they give each other!

"Anakin would you please cut the formalities and kiss her already!" I shouted. They jumped and looked over at me while Nala burst into a ball of laughter.

"Wha….what are you talking about?" Padme asked.

"Ma and Nala know you guys are married and how Anakin only "delivers" you stuff is because he wants to see you." I said throwing my legs over the arm of the chair.

"Anakin, how do they know this?" she asked him but Nala interrupted.

"We're not from this world or much less this dimension. In our world, everyone knows about it. So don't worry about it, your secret is safe with us." Nala said.

"Trust us. They day we tell is the day that hell freezes over." I commented. Padme smiled as did Anakin. Slowly their lips met and they shared a loving kiss. We smiled but mine quickly faded.

"What's wrong?" Nala asked.

"Nothing, I need air." I quickly stood up and walked out the door. I didn't just stand at the door, I turned left and kept going. I walked up stairs to avoid people. I just wanted to go somewhere else…

I really didn't know how long I was walking for but when I looked up from the ground I saw that I was in a different part of the building. Once I stopped moving I felt my heart constrict as if it was suffocating. Nala was right…it did feel like murder almost. The guilt….the pain…even here, it felt so real…maybe she was right.

"Are you lost, my child?" came a voice that I knew and that would send shivers up my spine. I didn't want to turn around and look in his eyes because I knew him and it was painful to admit it…..so I turned around…

Senator Palpatine…Darth Sidious, master of the dark side….

"Umm…sort of. I was looking for Senator Amidala's office. I need to speak to her about something that happened on Naboo." I lied and mentally kick myself.

"I hope everything is alright?" he spoke. "Like you even care!" I thought to myself.

"No, no. Nothing like that. I was just sent to ask something important and personal to the Senator.' I still lied and still mentally kicked myself. If I make it through this, I'm going to go rot in a hole.

"That's good to hear. You're looking for her office? Follow me, I will take you to her." He said and gestured his hand so that I will walk beside him.

"Thank you….uh…" I tried to sound new as possible.

"Senator Palpatine. And you dear girl?" he extended his hand towards me.

"Scarlet-Rose Taylor, Senator. It's nice to meet you." I grasped his hand gently but I couldn't help but feel the shock that went from his hand to my head. I slowly watched as I was pulled somewhere else…

(Time Flash)

A man or being, smiled evilly as he watches machines and droids alike was marched down into the ground. A cloaked figure gives the being a sheet of paper. The man's eyes twinkles as he laughs. Flashes of blue fog and bodies go back and forth. A girl with vines on her arms screams in pain as the plants suck in the fog. Coughs are loud in someone's ears as that someone sees pale faces. Everything beings to fade and breathing is harder to do so.

"Scarlet!" and that someone's eyes close as the dark embraces her….

oOo

"Oww, my head." I muttered softly to myself.

"Look who decided to wake up." Nala's voice was filled with humor.

"Nala, where am I?" I asked not bothering to open my eyes.

"Give you one guess." I could tell she was smiling. I bolted awake and looked around. I was in a medical bay that's for sure but I could tell we were on a starship's medical bay.

"How did I get here?" I asked.

"Well, I found you before you passed in front of the Sith Lord my I add! Anakin came and helped me carry you here. Don't worry, no one saw us except Ahsoka so you don't have to be embarrassed." She said smugly.

"Thanks…you said I passed out?"

"Yep. One hand you were shaking hands with the Dark Lord and the next think I know you fainted. I thought he pulled something on you." Nala said but I could hint the worry in her voice.

"It wasn't him..it was me. When I shook his hand I saw something. It was like a flashback but it hadn't happened yet." I told her. Her eyes narrowed and took a few steps towards me.

"What did you see?"

"Nothing of importance really. Don't worry about. I'm sure that it was nothing.' I lied.

"Alright. Just remember that we know what's going to happen. Whatever it is that you saw, maybe we can stop it." Nala was half-right. If we did fix it, before whatever it was then something good might happen. But if we do change it then what will happen then? Why can't things be simple anymore?

"How's Scarlet?" the voice was soft and it snapped us back into regular time again. We looked over to see Ahsoka standing in the door way.

"Hey Ahsoka. I'm doing better. I guess I was just overwhelmed that's all. I have thing to still rap my mind around yet." I told her.

Ahsoka smiled, 'that's good. If you're up for it I can show you around. Master Skywalker wants to talk with you two after you're settled in. I already have your rooms ready and your bags are already there. I hope you don't mine."

"No, that's alright. Thank you, we'll love a tour." Nala said with excitement. I chuckled and got off the bed.

Ahsoka then showed us around. The most interesting places were the mess and the training room. Nala especially liked the training room. Ahsoka said it was nice to have two more girls on board. Being surrounded by men only goes so far before things get boring. She's happy that we'll be able to talk and have something in common with us. Good thing too because we wouldn't have anyone to talk to either. However, we did run into two clones that would've sent Nala and me into fangirls fits unless we learned self control,

Echo and Fives…

When we were introduced, they seemed surprised but they also seemed happy to meet us.

"After Sky guy talks to them, we're heading for the mess. Do you boys want to join us?" Ahsoka asked. They looked at each other then at us,

"Sure. It will give us a chance to get to know you better. We'll even probably be even working together anyway." Echo said. From what I could tell, he was happy to tag along.

"I agree with Echo. Just radio us when you finished. We'll be in the barracks." Fives said. After we said, our good-byes for now, Ahsoka took us to see Anakin. But before we did, she wanted us to see our rooms, which were so cool. Both rooms had a bed, nightstand, mirror, private bathroom, dresser, and a small couch.

Once we saw everything, we took an elevator to the bridge where Anakin was waiting. When we got there, you wouldn't believe who he was talking to besides Obi-wan…

Captain Rex and Commander Cody…our favorite clones in the SwCw world!

'There they are." Anakin noticed us walk in and smiled at us, "I hope you're feeling better?"

"A lot actually. I guess me being here was a lot to take in." I smiled back.

"Rex, Cody, meet Scarlet-Rose and Nala. They'll be staying with us." Obi-wan spoke this time.

"Pleasure to meet you Ma'am." Rex extended his hand and I very much gladly accepted it. And let me tell you, if the fangirls knew this, then I would be so dead!

"Nice to meet you too, but please call me Scarlet or Scar. I'm not that old." I smiled and gave his hand a firm handshake.

"No problem Ma…Scarlet." he smiled back, "quite a handshake." He noted.

"Dad was in the military. Taught me that officers want to know you can handle a weapon if you got a firm handshake." I told him.

"Really? You father is in the military?" he asked.

"Yep. So is my mother." I held my high for that one. He gave me wide eyes as I dropped his hand.

"Ok girlies, listen up. There are things I want to go over." Anakin spoke up. We turned and give him our full attention, "since you'll be staying with us I want to go over a few things. Rule one; you will be fighting alongside us. Rule two; you can go anywhere on the ship but stay out of trouble. Rule three; always follow orders. And Rule four; if you ever come across a Sith lord, come find Obi-wan or myself. Do not engage them. Understood?"

"Anakin, both of our parents are in the military. We know what to do and what not to do. It's like living at the bases back home." Nala said plainly.

"Bases?" Cody asked.

"When we were little, we used to move from base to base to base until we were ten. Then they left us with our grandparents. During that time, they drilled everything they could into our tiny mind." I spoke this time.

"Alright then. Now go run along. I have to speak with Obi-wan about a few things." Anakin turned and focused his attention on the holoprojector.

"Cody, Rex, we're heading for the mess, wanna come with us?" Ahsoka asked.

"Why not, I was starting to get hungry anyways. Rex?" he turned to his brother in arms.

"Why not. If the General is giving us time off why not use it." Rex said. My heart did a flip but I made sure it didn't show. Ahsoka smiled and made her way to the door with us right behind her. I looked over at Nala and she did the same. I knew right away that we were both thinking the same thing. No matter what happened and no matter where this takes us, we'll stick by each other no matter what. And we'll stick by our new brother in arms as well. Their family now. Moreover, like family we look out for each other. And we'll do anything it takes to keep them safe…

oOo

So a really long chapter for you guys. I would've updated sooner but a storm hit and took out my power so I had to continue to write it on paper. Again, I would like to thank everyone for his or her awesome reviews! So please tell me how this chapter was as well. I love getting feedback. Your reviews are the only things that make me write more.
