Flirting and Discussions
Catherine sighed as she watched Master Dorak pace back and forth. It was getting tiring.
"When's Hana coming back?" she asked again, groaning as she got no response.
"They probably don't even know," sighed Catherine, "I wonder where she is,"
"Young one, why have you stopped training?" asked Master Vrook, appearing in the room.
"I don't wanna," replied Catherine, "cause no one will tell me where Hana is or when she's coming back!"
"We do not know,"
"You don't! But you're Jedi! You know everything!"
"We do not, we cannot,"
"You can't!"
"No, we know nothing for certain,"
"Darn..."
"But one thing is certain; you must get rid of this emotional attachment for Revan,"
"Why!?"
"Emotions get in the way of everything, by having emotions, you are opening yourself up to the possibility of becoming a Sith,"
"I can have emotions without becoming a Sith!"
"Look what emotions did to Revan,"
"She's different,"
"You mean evil,"
"No, just different! Emotions don't lead you down the path to the Dark side! They give you a life! They take you to the crossroads! You can either choose the road to light or the one to dark! It's your own choice!"
"It still does not make sense, young one,"
"Yes it does, but you don't get it cause you have no emotion!"
"Do not get angry, for there is no emotion, only peace,"
"Whatever,"
Catherine scowled at the Jedi Master and ran out of the room.
oOo
Hana sighed as she stared out of the window. The view was the same, black, pitch black.
"Don't worry Carth," whispered Hana as a tear fell down her cheek, "We'll be there soon! I promise! I'll save you, I promise that as well!"
"Hana... where are we going now?" asked Mission, walking towards Hana.
"We have to check in with the Jedi Council, and then, we go to Carth,"
"Alright, don't worry Hana... we'll save him and Bastila!"
"I hope so,"
"We will!"
Hana smiled and leaned on her arm, which was resting on the window sill.
"I don't know Mission; I guess I don't have your confidence on this one... Bassy's gonna be hard to sway back,"
"But it won't be impossible!"
"No... I guess it won't be,"
Mission smiled then left the room.
"But hard," whispered Hana once Mission was out of hearing range, "very, very, very hard,"
oOo
Catherine grinned as she watched Hana walk up to the Jedi, she looked different.
As soon as the Council nodded and Hana started walking away, Catherine bounced up and ran towards the frowning woman.
"Hey Hana!" she exclaimed as she hugged the woman, "Are you alright!"
"Hello Cathy," replied Hana, hugging Catherine back, "I'm fine, are you?"
"Yep! Have you got Carth yet?"
"Not yet, we're about to leave to go to him,"
"Ok... can I come to!?"
"No Cathy, you can't,"
"Why not?"
"It's too dangerous,"
"How?"
"It's Bassy... she's strong and powerful... and then there's most of the Sith army there as well,"
"Then why are you going if it's that dangerous?"
"Because I made a promise, Cathy,"
"What kind of promise?"
"That I would find and save Carth,"
"Oh..."
"And try to redeem Bassy,"
"Redeem?"
"Yes, I am going to save Carth and then... try to sway Bastila back to the light,"
"What if you can't?"
"Then there will be a fight,"
"Between who?"
"Me and Bassy,"
"What if she wins?"
"Then the galaxy is doomed,"
Catherine blinked and stared at Hana in disbelief, her mouth opening and closing in horror, just like a fish.
"Don't worry Cathy! I'll get her back to us! She'll come back to the light! I'm sure of it!" said Hana smiling at Catherine.
"Really?" asked Catherine, obviously not believing Hana.
"Yep,"
"Okay then... if you say so,"
"Trust me Cathy... it'll all be fine!"
"That's good!"
"Yes it is,"
"Be careful Hana,"
"You too,"
"'Kay!"
Catherine frowned as she watched Hana walk away, before she smirked mischievously.
"You won't leave me behind this time," she said as she creeped after Hana, "I won't be left behind this time! I won't!"
oOo
"What are you doing?" asked Adiva as she turned around to face Canderous, "because whatever it is, it is really annoying,"
"I'm cleaning my blaster," replied Canderous, smirking at Adiva.
"I find that very hard to believe,"
"And why is that?"
"There's clanging,"
"And?"
"Oh come on!"
"I dropped my blaster,"
"You dropped your blaster?"
"Yep,"
Adiva frowned again and got up from the pilot's chair and slowly walked over to Canderous.
"And why did you drop your blaster?"
"Why would that matter?"
"Just answer the question,"
"Maybe I just wanted to get a pretty girl's attention,"
"And who would this pretty girl be?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"I guess I do,"
Canderous smirked as he looked into Adiva's bright green eyes.
"Are you sure?" he teased, the smirk growing larger.
"Actually... no," said Adiva, pulling away.
Canderous smirk vanished as he raised his eyebrow over Adiva's sudden change of mind, "Okay... why not?"
"I am a Jedi. There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity--"
"Forget the Jedi,"
"WHAT!"
"You heard me... what's so great about the Jedi anyway?"
"They are right! If I give up the Jedi then I am an easy target for the Dark side!"
"I don't think so... at least not if you're strong enough to fend off the darkness,"
"What?"
"Okay, look, I won't lie, I would so prefer you evil but... evil Revan didn't turn out so well... so evil Adiva might not either,"
"So what are you saying?"
"Go grey,"
"GREY!"
"Yeah, it doesn't sound so bad, that old bat Jolee pulled it off well,"
"The Jedi are all I have! I can't abandon them!"
"You won't be... if they need your help and ask, then you can help and you can hate the Sith,"
"What you are describing is the same as a Jedi--"
"Except you'd get emotion,"
"It does sound nice... but the Jedi are my family... I don't know what to do,"
Canderous smirked and lay his blaster down on the table, "get back to me when you decide,"
Adiva smiled as her face turned red. "I will... but don't wait up; it might take a while,"
"How long is a while?"
"Probably... until the mission's over... or until either you or I are about to die,"
"Try the mission's over one,"
"Alright, it might be before,"
"Even better! I just hope it's something I'll like!"
Adiva chuckled as she walked away from the Mandalorian.
"Be careful what you wish for," she said as she sat down in the pilot's chair.
oOo
"Are we ready to go?" asked Hana as she jumped into the ship.
"Query: Are we?" said HK innocently.
"HK..."
"We're ready," growled T3, "Everyone's here... and there's an extra person on board... a stowaway which you probably won't notice until it's too late... stupid humans,"
"What's up, T3?" asked Hana, as she stared at the talkative droid.
"Stupid human,"
"We're ready," said Adiva, spinning around in the chair, "Everyone's accounted for,"
"And there's an extra! Don't forget her!"
"Okay! Let's go!" said Hana, smiling at everyone within range.
"What about... Uh... never mind... you wouldn't understand anyway,"
"Okay... thanks for that... information T3... let's go Adiva,"
"Right," said Adiva as she started the ship.
