Episode One: Insert Clever Title Here

by A Grayer Shade of Gray

A General PG13 rating, not sure how bad this story'll get. My friends and I are transported from Queen Street to two seperate systems within the Galatic Republic, and one beyond the Outer Rim. Part One.

10. Chapter Ten

When I walked back into the main room, I felt like royalty, just as sure as Christine and Tash had, and the shocked look on Boba's face, and that of his unhelmeted father, said it all. The young boy smiled ear to ear at me and, if once more, ritual prevented it, I'm sure he would have ran up to hug me.

I took a seat beside Christine at the large table, my eyes on the Emperor, the two red guards who flanked him and the two young girls who sat demurely on cushions behind them.

"Now that the three of you are here," he said, his voice calm as he spoke. All three of us knew who he'd become, and it was a wonder why we were so calm. Only latter would we find that we were under the control of the Dark Side of the Force.

He explained his situation, how he needed our help to ensure that the Republic would stay together. He knew that on our planet we knew what would happen, and he had brought us here, referring to us to those who asked as "The Fates". I found that one ironic, since we were known as the "Weird Sisters", which was a blatant reference to the mythical women made by Shakespear in the 1800s.

He had told the Senate that the Jedi were no longer competent, that they could no longer use the Force, but he knew three young women with whom the Force was strong. They were known as the Fates, and their planet of origin was from far beyond the Outer Rim. We wee to attend the Senate Seating that would start tomorrow around mid-day and make the point for the Republic Army. We were to argue that with out the aid of the army, a rebellion that was growing larger with each passing hour, would threaten the safety of the planets within the Republic.

We all nodded, agreeing fully with the powerful Sith Lord, unwittingly duped at the time, but at least we were back together. The guards would show us to our quarters until it was time for us to make our grand announcement to the senate.

A side note, before we go for another break. The hold that the Sith Lord had on us only affect us in the manner that we would listen to what he said in the matter of speaking in front of the Senate. We still had our own free will and thought for ourselves on other topics, such as what we were going to have for dinner that night, which was a story with in itself.
