hay peoples, homework, school work and the dreaded WRITERS BLOCK getting in the way sorry

The sweat burns my eyes as I block the blow with my vibroblade. My hairs held back by a headband, but I don't need it. It's stuck flat to my head anyway. I block another blow, and then strike out at my opponent's leg, trying to bring them down quickly. The Twi-Lek dodges backwards gracefully and her blade dances towards me. I duck beneath it and reach up at her wrist with mine.
She laughs as she puts it back in its sheath at her hip.
"Were that a lightsabre, you would have cut my hand off. Well done, you must have been trained growing up" I nod.
"My parents taught me to use all sorts of weapons. I can use a whip too, and knives. I also know a little hand to hand combat" She whistles.
"I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of you then. Welcome to the Jedi Order, Hana Solo" She bows to me, and I bow back, and then turn to put my blunt blade back on the wall. She strides out of the room, and it's only then I realise she was using a sharp blade. They must think I'm getting better.
I exit after her, taking off the headband and wiping the sweat off my forehead. This place isn't nearly as strict as I believed when I first arrived. Sure I have to train with Masters, but there's plenty of time to socialise and lots of nice people. The view is incredible, and I walk every morning before my classes. I wake early, so there's hardly anyone around. Occasionally I pass Luke Skywalker, but he doesn't appear to notice me.
Then I go inside and learn how to control my fledgling power. I pick up rocks, and then throw them at the wall when the teacher goes outside, and make ants go the other way holding their food for the nest, or if I'm alone, make them run into walls. Then I try it on larger animals, making them attack their predators, always fun, or drop their food. When the teachers not there. If he is, I make them turn the other direction, or go to sleep, or wake up. Yawn.
Evening is time for reflection and meditation. That's when we gather in one room and sit in a boring position for an hour while the Force gathers around us. Supposedly. But apart from all that, it's pretty cool here. Got lots of new friends, Master Luke has tried talking to me about my parents along with every other Jedi here, and the shapeless robes make a comfortable pillow.
Oops, Jedi master. Should do something halfway Jedi. I rise and bow, then continue to my quarters to rest.

I'm dreaming again, only this time I'm watching it from a distance. It all seems so petty now, that fight. Yet then it was so important. I drove her away because of it… but I don't know who she is. It's obvious that I'm close to her, and we've spent a lot of time together. I'm confused, who is she? And why do I have the feeling I've done this before?
I sit up suddenly. I hate these dreams. They are so annoying, and unpredictable. Darn useless too, I mean, who wants to know they're going to get in a fight? I could have told you that anyway.
The cool night air blows through a small crack in the stone wall, originally covered by ivory, but I removed that. I like having a connection to outside, even if it's only through a crack in the wall. Makes me feel secure.
I shake off a sense of foreboding and swing out of bed. I need to walk, to move. And to tell someone about these dreams. After putting my flight suit on I exit the room quietly.
There's a light in the meditation chamber as I enter, and I see Luke Skywalker sitting cross legged on the cold stone floor. He looks up at me and smiles. I incline my head respectfully.
"Master Skywalker, I hope I did not disturb you" In the pale light his face is half cast in shadow as he shakes his head.
"Certainly not, Hana. I was just finishing up" I wonder if this is a good time to ask him about my dreams?
"Master, can I ask you something?" He looks me up and down, probably trying to assess what I'm going to ask.
"Please do" I swallow a little nervously. I've never really spoken one on one with Luke Skywalker.
"All my life I've dreamt the future… seen visions. They tell me what is going to happen, but not the ending, or are a feeling, a taste, a touch, a smell. I used to disregard them, but they all came true" He' watching me thoughtfully. "Sometimes they confuse, or scare me, but I welcome them all the same. One has been… haunting me for a long time recently" He tilts his head to the side and looked at me.
"And what is it that you see in this vision?" He looks very interested. I briefly outline what happens, and the things I feel. "Interesting… and you say you have no knowledge of this girl at all" I shake my head. "Well, all I can say is what will come will come. If you're supposed argue with this girl in the future, you will argue her" He notices the distress on my face "I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's the truth"
I yawn and he chuckles. "Don't let an old fossil like me stop you getting your beauty sleep but, you need your energy for a big day of learning tomorrow" I bowed and smiled as I exited the chamber, and went back to my quarters. I already knew I couldn't fight the future, but at least I gave him food for thought. I lay down and am asleep within moments.
