Chapter 10
Lessons To Be Learned
Izzy sighed knowing what was waiting for her outside the temple, training to be a Jedi was tough, but when you're also a model for a top designer who just happens to be your aunt, life's hell.
"Hey, you ok Izzy?" Tk asked her friend.
"Yeah, well let's get this over with." Izzy muttered as they walked outside. As soon as they did cameras began clicking and people began shouting questions.
"Miss Hopkins!"
"Miss Hopkins, how do you feel about the new clothing line to be released next month?" someone shouted.
"What will the line contain, what designs will there be?" A woman asked shoving a microphone in Izzy's face.
"I'm sorry but that information is not to be made public until the the line's release." Izzy said pushing past the crowd, Tk right behind her.
-that night-
"You probably think I'm lucky, that my life's perfect. It's not, you're lucky, being an only child, not having to compete for you parents affection, you never have to do everything right, not having to perform all the time like some wind-up toy.
I trained to be a Jedi a lot, with my dad, before he died. After he died I stopped training, and started to work for my aunt, head designer for Galaxia Clothing, I became spokesman and model for them, pretty soon it was early morning, time for make up, perfect smile. Even now, at the temple the press finds me, I'm still spokesman and model for the company but just not as often."
-week later-
Izzy crept up behind Mace Windu as he meditated.
"Rub your head for eighty credits!" Izzy shouted rubbing Mace Windu's bald head and quickly running, Mace Windu hot on her tail.
"Master Yoda things are going very well-" Qui gon was saying as he walked with Master Yoda, but is cut off when Izzy rockets by her robes hitched up to mid-thigh.
"Qui gon your niece is the spawn of sith!" Mace Windu yelled as he ran past.
Qui gon shook his head in disbelief. A sudden shriek catches them off guard. Izzy stood covered in mud.
"You will remain here and meditate on your actions, when I feel that you've learned from your meditations you will be allowed to wash up and change." Mace windu said sternly.
Izzy sat down on a rock in the gardens and meditated.
Morning quickly turned into noon, and Mace Windu brought his group of young-lings out to meditate.
"Master Windu why is she dirty?" one young-ling boy asked pointing to Izzy.
"Padawan Hopkins is dirty because she is learning a very important lesson in humility." Mace said. Mace felt many emotions emanating from Izzy, shame regret, anger, sadness and hurt. She needs to learn. He thought to himself.
Night quickly came and Izzy still sat in the same place.
"How long has she been out there?" Tk asked Qui gon.
"Since nine this morning." Qui gon said
"She's been out there for thirteen hours?" Tk asked in shock, Qui gon nodded.
Mace walked to were Izzy sat, the mud she was covered in long since dried.
"You've learned enough padawan Hopkins, I trust in the future you will learn to be more respectful." Mace said watching as Izzy weakly nodded her head.
