A/N: Hello there. Well, we've got another short one, my co-author has been working on it. Expect some longer ones in the future.

Chapter 4 - Lyra

What had I been thinking?

I was a Jedi, how could I not tell that that girl was following me?

And not only that but she managed to destroy those four droids? And we didn't notice until she was spraying one in the face?

Hopefully, Master Yoda and Master Windu had dealt with her. Apparently, she had crawled across the ceiling's support boards! It would've been so much easier if I had just not opened that door yesterday.

I looked at my piano with longing, but my comm buzzed and I knew what was next.

A new mission.

As the apprentice of a librarian, these were hard to come by, but my patience finally paid off.

I looked at the screen and nearly dropped it.

Accompany Senator Binks to the Senate meeting tonight at 1800.

I gaped at the message. Senator Binks? Since when is he a Senator? That's like making Kieran the Chancellor! A mission's a mission, though.

I dressed nicely, knowing the requirements of a Senate meeting. As I dress, I think about yesterday. Why did Kieran follow me? And how could I not have sensed that? I sigh and put on my shoes. This is going to be very boring and take a while… I look at my piano again. Certainly, I can play a piece, right….? I go to my piano and am about to sit on the bench when I get flashbacks about my past. I remember my dad and brother left, my old 'friends' telling me how much they hated me, my mom crying about my dad leaving, and I fall on the bench looking down. Ah, kriff… not those thoughts again... I get up and grab a glass of water and look at the time. I still have about an hour to kill. I got dressed too quick then. I go to my desk, and get my paints out and everything. Hmm, what should I draw? I decide to draw something based on what I think about doing, or what I want to do instead of this sheb. I end up with a drawing a starry night, stars in the sky and me watching the stars. I look at the time again and see it's almost time for the meeting. I can eat one more thing before leaving. I get out some noodles and start eating, quickening my pace. I finish my plate and head out the door and start walking to the Senate meeting and see Palpatine with Kieran. Oh, Kriff! What is she doing here? I try to slip away and look for 'Senator' Binks, but unfortunately, Palpatine sees me.

"Good afternoon, Lyra," he says politely, and I turn around slowly, caught.

"Good afternoon, Senator Palpatine," I say properly. What does he want now?

"Hello, Kieran," I say, looking at her, trying not to scowl at her in front of Palpatine. She looks at me for a second, probably surprised I didn't scowl at her.

"Hello," she says simply. I hesitate to leave for a moment, and before I go I say,

"If you'll excuse me, I have to go find senator Binks."

"Alright," Palpatine says. I turn around and feel Kieran's gaze on my neck. I ignore it and go around the corner, looking for Jar Jar. I see him, and head to him.

"Good afternoon, Senator Binks," I say politely.

"Now, now, don't callen mesa a senator, Lyr-lyr!" Jar Jar says making hand movements in front of his face as if chasing away a fly.

"Alright. I'm supposed to lead you to the Senate meeting, you ready?" I ask him, which he just stands there and shrugs.

"Yesa, me am ready," he says and we start walking to the Senate meeting.

A/N: Okay, this was really short. Very short. Let me put in a little funny skit.

Kieran: Welcome to the Squash Corner!

Lyra: I thought we were gonna call it-

Kieran: Shh, its the Squash Corner now.

Leo: We're going to ask you a few questions whenever we have a short chapter!

Lyra: Who are you?

Leo: Anyways, if you had a Star Wars OC, would they be a Jedi or a Sith?

Kieran: Droid or alien?

Lyra: Dare we say it...

All: Smuggler? Bounty hunter?

A/N: Yes, I will shamelessly use a Gungan Language Translator.
