Sorry this took so long. I had about half a page written when my comp cracked a spak attack. Then I had to wait for my dad to fix it for me, since wiggling the card that normally cracks up and hitting it didn't work this time. So here it is! Enjoy.


It took five days to get to Coruscant. FIVE DAYS. In this crazy ship, stuck with Ayden, Lyrisa, T3 and Aasa.

I practically screamed with joy when I got out of the ship, but I didn't. Fresh air! Well, as fresh as Coruscant air can get… But that's not the point!

Lyrisa, Ayden, T3 and Aasa followed me out of the ship, looking at the hustle bustle of the city planet. I grinned and looked around, and then at the others.

"Ready for the Jedi Temple?" I asked them.

Aasa looked down and then around at the buildings before glancing back up at me, "I'll pass. I'll stay with the Kestral." He said.

I frowned lightly before shrugging. If he didn't want to come, then that's his loss. I for one can't wait to see the Temple. I've never seen it before, only on the movies and games.

I glanced at Aasa, "We're gonna need some cash for the taxi." I told him, making the bloke roll his eyes as he tossed me a few credit chips. I caught them and grinned at him, "Thanks!"


We called a Taxi and reached the Jedi Temple in about 15 minutes. We paid the driver with some of Aasa's chips and looked at the entrance of the Temple.

"Wow." Lyrisa let out with a breath of air.

I couldn't help but agree with her. Wow was right, and I'm not talking about the electronics store. It was just soo…. Wonderful! A million times bigger than the Enclave.

We slowly walked, and rolled for T3, up to the door, my senses picked up a few people watching us. I presume Jedi that keep an eye on this place.

My presumptions were proved correct when a cream robed human Jedi with brown hair walked to us from behind one of the statues. He held his arms crossed behind his back, a lightsaber dangling from his belt.

"Hello." I greeted him.

Jedi-boy looked from me to Lyrisa, Ayden to T3 and then back to me.

"Hello." He responded with, "What business do you have here?"

"Um." I started, "We're here to see Bastilia Shan. We're old friends."

I frowned lightly when a look crossed the Jedi's face when I said Bas's name. One of disgust. What was his problem with our fav stuck up Brittish Jedi? Actually, there are probably a lot of answers to that question.

"Follow me." The Jedi said, resuming his blank 'Jedi face.'

He turned around and led us though the doors of the Jedi temple. The main hall of the temple was just as impressive, if not moreso, than the outside. There were many different Jedi walking around of varying species.

It was good to see so many Jedi, returned from hiding…

The Jedi dude then led us out of the main hall and into littler hallways, and then to a turbo lift. I frowned slight, a feeling that something was not quite right here was making its way into my head.

I put my arm out to stop Lyrisa from entering the Turbo lift, and Ayden stopped as well, possibly sensing my feeling as well.

Jedi Dude turned to look at us, with a raised eyebrow.

"Jedi Dude, where are you taking us?" I asked him, matching his raised eyebrow with my own.

"Jedi Dude?" he asked me.

"I don't know your name. What else am I supposed to call you?"

"How about Jaysh Burgan, seeing as that is my name?" he said.

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, Ok, Jaysh. Now where are you taking us?"

"To the Jedi Council."

"WHAT?" I exclaimed, staring at him with wide eyes, "No, no! I just wanted Bastili Shan, heck, just her address would do. I… we do not want to see the Council!" I told him, a glare growing on my face.

Jaysh didn't seem too fazed by my declaration; he just stood there in his Jediness.

"We don't know who you are. You just turn up, looking for Bastilia Shan-" There was that look again, "-We don't know you intentions or what you want. The council have demanded to meet with you." He took a breath before adding, "And also, I don't know your names, and you know mine. You have me at a clear disadvantage."

I let out a sigh. As much as I hated it, Jedi Jayse was right. Dang. Probably should've snuck in… or tried to find Mish. She'd know were Bas was. Instead we had to deal with the council.

"Fine." I scowled, crossing my arms, "Just as long as we can see Bas when this is over." I asked, "I'm Reese, that's Ayden, Lyrisa and T3." I added, pointing to the person that the name belonged to.

"Pleasure to meet you, now lets get going. They are expecting you now."

I gave a reluctant nod of my head and then we all filed into the Turbolift.


I stood in the centre of the Jedi Council, my shields up full bar. It didn't help that I was in here by myself, since apparently I'm the leader and have to deal with this alone or some nonsense. I'm no leader.

None of the masters I recognized, which I suppose was a good thing, maybe. There were a few empty seats, so that could also explain why…

They were just looking at me, examining me. I tried to put my best 'Jedi' face on. I'm not sure how well it worked.

"What do you want with Bastilia Shan?" One finally asked me, a Togruta Male with dark blue skin.

"We're old friends. I wanted to catch up with her, but as I don't know her address, I thought you lot might know." I answered. It was a semi truth, but eh… close enough.

A elderly male human with greying hair looked at me with a puzzled expression, "You look familiar…" he mused.

I looked at him, my eyes widening a fraction. If he worked out, if any of them worked out that I was the strange Padawan from Taris and Dantooine who went with Revan and got herself killed, then this was going to become a very much so longer council meeting.

I shrugged, "I have one of those faces." I said, hoping I sounded off-hand, while tightening my mental shields at the same time.

The man seemed to accept that, since he moved back into his seat.

"Look, as much honour it is meeting you guys, although it's kinda unnerving how you're just staring at me like that, can you please tell me where Bastilia is so me and my friends can be on our merry way?"

The council members looked at each other before the Togruta nodded his head "Yes, we'll have Jaysh take you to her." He said, "She would have been here, but she was… otherwise preoccupied."

I nodded my head with thanks, while digesting that comment about Bastilia being here. So does that mean she's on the council? Boy, I bet she's thrilled about that.

I turned to leave and reached the door. I opened it and was about to exit when a voice stopped me.

"Where did you get your astromech?"

I looked back at the Togruta guy. Did he recognize T3?

"Oh, I picked him up at this junk station. He was pretty banged up, but my bro fixed him." I replied before fully stepping out of the door. I closed behind me, giving me a change to exhale my built up stressed air.

Thank everything made of Swiss Cheese that's over. No one likes being surrounded by stuck up Jedi Masters.

I saw Ayden was pacing lightly when I exited the room, Lyrisa was standing near Jaysh and T3 was near Ayden's feet.

I cleared my throat, making them all look at me. I looked at Jaysh, "The bog bosses say you gotta take us to Bastilia." I told the young knight.

"Great." He said, his voice lacking any form of enthusiasm.

Seriously, what was his deal with Bas?

"Chop Chop, Jedi Dude. Lets got a move on." I said, a grin on my face to show I was just kidding with him.

Jaysh rolled his eyes and walked past us, "Follow me to the hanger and we can take a speeder to her apartment." He said.

We nodded our heads and then we started following him, butterfly's growing in my stomach. I hoped Bastilia would understand... and knew what I needed to know.
