Last chapter… I shall say no more; for that is the degree of my tragedy…
Yet another clever way of saying that I didn't give birth to this epic baby… (Sigh…)
Chapter Six in yet another language.
I have been high many times before in my life; like when I finished my first lot of exams in Year 8; or at my 13th Birthday Party; or the last Chemistry before Christmas- when we ate Dale's sweets, watched Pirates of The Caribbean, and tied knots in Smithwick's hair when she wasn't looking -; and every Geography lesson (long story). But that night in the Council Chambers, I was high.
Oh it was fun.
Master Yoda, Anakin, Padmé, and the five of us burst forth from the Council Chambers like a sea of contagious laughter. Yes- that includes Yodey!
We skipped to the med bay to see if Obi Wan was out of the tank yet. I felt like I was shining. We passed many bewildered Jedi, and I told everyone of them the good news; "You're free to love!" "Attachment is allowed!" "Jedi can marrrrrrrrry!"
They looked at me as if I was mad, but then; so did my companions. It was rather hilarious actually.
We reached the med bay, and I greeted the Healer at the door with the good news that, "If you like someone, you can ask them out on a date and stuff!"
She tipped her head on one side, and asked Master Yoda what was wrong with me, did I have a concussion?
Master Yoda chuckled, "No, Healer Offee, fine Georgina is- for Georgina –lifted, the rule against attachment has been."
Bariss' eyes widened in disbelief, then she grinned, "That's- that's amazing!"
"How's Master Kenobi?" asked Anakin.
"Oh- he's fine! Just fine. We lifted him out about half an hour ago; you can see him if you like." She led us to a separate room cheerfully, where Obi Wan was lying.
He looked up as we entered. "Oh! Hello everybody! What's going on? I can feel confusion, and happiness and-"
Master Yoda cut him off gently. "Revised the code has been. Forbidden, attachment is not."
He looked so confused I wanted to laugh. "Uh… Ok, I've been unconscious for a few hours and the whole Order has been turned upside down."
This time I did laugh.
"What happened anyway?"
"These girls- and Angus –have changed everything," smiled Padmé.
"We'll fill you in on the details later," added Anakin.
"Get the midi-chlorian tests taken we can, here." Master Yoda stated.
"Ok." I agreed. We left Anakin and Padmé with Obi Wan, and followed Healer Offee down a corridor and into a sterile white room.
She took out a syringe, and Smithy looked away as she took a sample of my blood. It didn't really hurt.
Then she inserted it into a console and tapped into it for a minute. She turned towards us, "You have a midi-chlorian count just under that of the average Jedi." I nodded- fairly pleased –and she turned back to the console, and then blinked in surprise.
"What is it?" asked Master Yoda.
"Her count- it's risen since I took it first!"
"What?" I asked, "That can't be normal- is it normal?"
Master Yoda shook his head.
She pulled out an attachment from the console, and put her eye to it. "Master Yoda…" she beckoned, "Come take a look at this."
He did, and looked through it too. "Hmmm… Very interesting…"
I got a bit worried, "What's so interesting about my blood?"
"The midi chlorians are actually dividing!" exclaimed Bariss, "But they're slowing…" she typed into the console again, "By the time they've stopped, you'll have a fairly high count."
"Oh! Well that's… surprising!" I blinked.
She checked Liz, Abigail, and Hugo; and it was the same for them.
"That's pretty incredible." Mentioned Abigail.
"Come on, let's go tell the others," I said, and we went back to the room where Obi Wan and crew were.
We came back and told them what had happened. They were suitably impressed.
"That's pretty odd," commented Padmé between bites of what looked suspiciously like a doughnut.
"Yeah," I agreed, I raised my eyebrows and smiled, "Where did you get that?"
"Oh, I was hungry so Anakin went and got it for me," she said matter-of-factly, and took another bite.
Master Yoda smiled at Anakin, "Got you busy, the Senator has. Very busy you will be, with two babies on the way. Sense two bundles of trouble I do- much like their father!" he chuckled.
"I can't wait," Anakin smiled warmly.
Bariss- who had been quietly been re-dressing Obi Wan's leg -was called to go and help with a Jedi who'd been wounded, so she excused herself and opened the door to leave. She gasped as the door opened to reveal our bush.
"W- what?" she stuttered.
"Oh." I said flatly, "That'd be our hydrangea."
"Huh?" she asked in shock.
"Alright, it is Healer Offee." Smiled Yoda sadly.
"This sounds stupid, but I never thought we'd have to leave…" said Liz quietly.
"Neither did I," I admitted sadly.
"I never thought I'd say this, but I'm going to miss it here," added Smithwick.
Master Yoda smiled, "Cheer up you should. Done great good you have. Made many people happy you did today."
We smiled, "We're not all that brilliant," I shrugged, "Any other fan could have done it."
"But it wasn't any other fan, it was you," smiled Padmé, "I've barely known you all a day, and you've saved us all."
"I wouldn't say-" started Abigail embarrassedly.
"No; you five deserve all the credit," stated Anakin firmly, "There's nothing we can do to thank you enough."
"You've done us all a great service," added Obi Wan sleepily.
Master Yoda smiled, "When first met you I did, thought you all were crazy I did. That has changed. Only think Georgina is crazy now I do."
We all laughed, "Would you love me if I was any different?" I shrugged.
"Meh," smiled Elizabeth, "I don't think we'll ever get a chance to find out- I highly doubt you'll ever grow up."
"I agree," I nodded seriously.
Roll. Eyes.
I felt a little teary. "I suppose we have to go now…"
Hugs were exchanged by all- I even hugged the trapped Bariss just for the craic of it! I felt all eyes on me as I hugged Anakin. "Hey! He's Padmé's; I thoroughly respect that- I was just enjoying the view."
Anakin didn't reply, rather speechless as he was. Padmé just raised her eyebrows, and I heard Paula mutter, "I don't know her." Yoda smiled though- there's always hope when the three foot, green, nine century old Jedi smiles. Always.
"G-goodbye. I'd call if I could, but the rate for intergalaxy phone/comm calls is ridiculous," I told them, very sad.
"We'll never forget you five, and what you've done for us," smiled Anakin.
"Goodbye."
"Send Windy Pops my love!" I called as I exited.
We stepped through the doorway into our bush, hearts heavy. Just as we got through, Smithy fell over. We all scrambled to help her up, and when we looked back; the portal was gone.
We made our way back to the house; astonished but delighted to find that no time had passed. We had to sneak past my mum, as we looked an utter state. We rushed up the stairs, groaning at our ripped clothes and muddy shoes. Headline: our mums were going to kill us, and we had no excuse.
Great.
Shortly after lamenting over our disgraceful appearances, we slumped down on my bed; and promptly fell asleep. Serious warp lag.
So over the past few weeks, the guys have been helping me write up what happened. I think we've been able to get a fairly accurate sequence of events. And that's it I suppose.
Bye.
(What, did you think it would something more than that? More special? More different? Just… more? Well, looks like I managed to be completely unpredictable and spontaneous.) Or did I?
Ah… So this is it…
I have a sequel I my mind; but I'm not sure, so I want some more feedback first. Yes- that's right, I'm blackmailing for reviews…
But I'm also bribing!! This time; because of the occasion: CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!!! Yes, you heard me: Chocolate cake for EVERYONE who reviews!!!
Yes, I am kind.
Well, this is it… Bye.
;D
