Only two messages this time guys ok. With the whole Han and Leia thing I meant to do this better but there are things that even in your writing you have to cut out. But I will post it in the She Lived Short Stories, but I'll talk about that "story" later.

And I was recently re-reading chapter 6 of this story. And I never told you who was figure 1 and figure 2. Mace Windu was figure 1 and Obi-Wan Kenobi was figure 2.


It had been 3 months since Mayla was made part of the Jedi order. She and Luke had grown close, and they often trained together. Anakin had taken the job of being Mayla's trainer. She wasn't his padawan but she wasn't a knight. She was somewhere in the middle of the two.

Anakin had been made into a Jedi Master, and Mayla was almost finished her training. She would learn the basics then she would learn the rest through experience.

Obi-Wan was still trying to figure out who the other force sensitive on Mustafar was. But he wasn't able to search for the person because he was needed at the Jedi temple. But an opportunity was coming up because Leia was determined to go back there and get them to join the republic.

Speaking of Leia, something exciting had happened to her when they had returned to Mustafar, Han proposed. Apparently he had been planning this since a little while after Han was unfrozen. Han had asked Padmé for permission while they were at the ewok village. At the time the reason he asked Padmé was because she was the only parent like figure to Leia. And that was before he discovered that Padmé was her parent.

And Luke really had nothing much interesting happen to him these past months. Well that is unless you count when Mayla accidently broke his nose during a training session. But the weird part about that was Luke got the feeling that this wouldn't be the last time this would happen. Also Luke moved into an apartment in the temple. It has across from Mayla's apartment and down the hall from Anakin and Obi-Wan's (now just Obi-Wan's) apartment. Anakin moved into Padmé's old apartment with permission from Luke and Leia.

The Jedi Temple –Night time

Luke and Mayla were on guard duty of the temple. Exactly what they were guarding the temple from, they had no idea. But they still had to do it (to their regret).

They were ok with being on guard duty with each other. They had become very close. Mayla had even said once to Luke that he was a lot like Amber when she and Amber first met. Mayla considered Luke her best friend after Amber. But Mayla didn't know that Luke liked her a little more than that.

Luke had developed a crush on Mayla. The only person that knew for sure about this was Han. Luke had told Han about this on order to get his advice of what to do. He was still waiting for this advice. But what no one knew was that Luke hasn't the only one who had a crush on Mayla.

Luke paced the hall that he and Mayla were in. He was getting very tired. He looked over at Mayla. She was fast asleep against a pillar that Mayla had meant to catch her balance against.

Luke silently laughed.

Mayla stirred.

Luke just dismissed it when nothing else happened. But then she started turning roughly in her sleep and started muttering.

"No! No don't! No! No stop! No! No!"

Luke started getting concerned. So he tried to wake her up.

"Mayla. Mayla. Mayla!" Luke said shaking her awake.

Mayla woke up.

Mayla breathed heavily.

"Are you ok?" Luke asked.

"I'm fine. Just a bad memory." Mayla said.

"What memory?"

"How I became a slave."

"I understand if you don't want to talk about it."

"No. I have to tell you sometime." Mayla said.

"Ok." Luke said cautiously.

"It happened on my 14th birthday. Actually our 14th birthday. I had an older twin sister, but she was only older by 5 minutes. Her name was Nikkia Sasha Rekin."

"Wait her name was Nikkia Sasha?"

"No, where I come from we have middle names, and Sasha was her middle name."

"Why?" Luke asked.

"I have no idea." Mayla said.

"What's yours?"

"Candayla."

"Hold on. You're full name is Mayla Candayla Rekin. Mayla Candayla?"

"It was an accident, now can I finish?" Mayla said.

"Sorry." Luke said.

"Anyway, things were all perfect that day, until it happened. Stormtroopers invaded our house. They killed my parents, and then they found us. Now the thing about Nikkia and I is that we like almost identical, except our hair color, I'm a blonde while she was a redhead.

They asked us who was Mayla, because they didn't know if Mayla was a blonde or redhead. Neither of us spoke. They asked us many times until they threatened to kill us both. I was about to tell them that I was Mayla. But before I could Nikkia stepped out and said she was me. They took her into the next room and killed her.

Then they took me away to Palpatine leaving everything in ruins. When I was set before Palpatine he didn't want to kill me, I don't know why. Instead he sold me to Kel Fyaar to be a slave. I worked as a slave for the next 10 years and befriended Amber. Then your father came to Mustafar and the rest is history." Mayla said.

Then Mayla turned away with tears in her eyes trying not to cry.

"I'm so sorry Mayla." Luke said. "If there's anything I can do."

Mayla just cried thinking about her family.

"Mayla think about just how lucky you are. You're alive, you're safe, you're free and you're with people who would never hurt you. I know I won't hurt you." Luke said.

Mayla then turned to Luke and cried in his arms. And for most of the night they just stayed like that with Luke reassuring her that everything was safe now.

The next day –Jedi meeting...

"Ok moving on to the next order of business." Mace said.

"And what would that be?" Luke asked.

"Mayla's training. I really don't think that she needs much more of it." Mace said.

"I agree, but she still needs to take some sort of trial." Obi-Wan said.

"But what?" Anakin asked.

"Well Leia is going to Mustafar to get them to join the republic. Maybe she should go with them to face where she's been for the past 10 years. Mustafar to her is like the cave on Dagobah." Luke said.

"What cave?" Anakin asked.

"I'll tell you later." Luke said.

"I think Luke is right." Obi-Wan said.

"But you and Anakin are going." Mace said.

"No we're going to find the other force sensitive." Anakin said.

"So then why don't Luke and Mayla go then?" Obi-Wan said.

"That's a good idea. All in favour?" Mace said.

"Aye." Anakin, Luke, Obi-Wan and Mace said.

"All opposed?" Mace said.

No one said anything.

"Then it's agreed. Luke Skywalker and Mayla Rekin will go to Mustafar. Now last order of business." Mace said.

"And what is that?" Obi-Wan asked.

"If we're going to be a Jedi Order we need to vote on who the grandmaster is." Mace said.

"And how is that done?" Luke asked.

"I have no idea. But I was thinking a secret ballot." Mace said.

"Ok." Anakin said.

"We'll also need Mayla so that it isn't a tie." Mace said.

They got Mayla, set down all the rules and voted.

"Now we count the votes." Mace said.

Mace counted out the votes the said, "There was 2 votes for Obi-Wan and 3 votes for Anakin."

"So does that mean I'm the grandmaster?" Anakin said.

"With Obi-Wan as your second." Mace said.

"How did that happen?" Anakin asked.

Obi-Wan, Mayla and Luke looked at each other.

A few days later –On Mustafar...

"I still can't believe that I'm back here." Mayla said.

"I know it seems like yesterday we were here." Han said.

"I know." Leia said. "Now we need to get a move on. We're supposed meet the governor in ten minutes."

They soon made their way to the palace of Mustafar. The governor stayed in the palace with his slaves during his reign as governor.

"Welcome to Mustafar." The governor greeted them, "We've been waiting for you Senator Skywalker. It's an honour to meet you all.

"Governor TorinStryder. May I introduce my company?" Leia asked.

"Of course." Stryder said.

"My fiancé Han Solo, and his co-pilots, Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca the Wookiee. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. My father Jedi Master, I mean, Grandmaster Anakin Skywalker. My brother Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. And Jedi in training Mayla Rekin." Leia said.

"It's a pleasure." Stryder said. "I believe you've had a long trip and it is night time. I've got rooms prepared for you, my servants will attend to you."

"They are servants not slaves right?" Mayla asked.

"They are legally slaves but I treat them like servants. They are well taken care of I assure you." Stryder said. "Now my servants will show you to your rooms."

Then he signalled to 3 slaves that came over. They were wearing matching robes with their hoods pulled over their heads to conceal their faces.

Something passed over the 4 Jedi. They turned to each other.

"I think one of those 3 might be it." Luke whispered.

"I agree." Anakin whispered.

"Anakin and I will check them out." Obi-Wan whispered.

Then the 4 turned away.

"You taken care of the pilots." Stryder said to one of them. "You take care of the women and you take care of the other Jedi."

The group parted ways as each slave lead their group in different directions.

One of the slaves (a girl Mayla could tell) led Mayla and Leia up to 2 rooms that were connected by a door. This slave was to attend to the girls.

Once the girls settled in the girl said to Mayla, "Well, well, well, look the cat dragged in."

"Excuse me?" Mayla said.

The slave girl laughed. Then said, "You don't know who I am, do you?"

"Have we met?" Mayla asked.

The girl flipped off her hood to reveal that she was-

"AMBER!" Mayla exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"

"Kel went broke. He had to sell all his slaves. What are you doing here?" Amber said.

"I'm on a mission." Mayla said.

The two friends caught up.

A few days later...

Leia had been negotiating with the governor Obi-Wan and Anakin had been trying to find out who the force sensitive was and Han, Lando, Mayla and Luke were just trying to stay awake during the negotiations.

Mayla for the first time noticed that there was something different about Amber. Something that she hadn't noticed before. And her suppositions were confirmed when Obi-Wan and Anakin discovered that Amber was that other force sensitive. She just never really showed the signs before.

That night...

Everyone was hanging out in one of the rooms when Leia came in.

"What is it?" Anakin asked.

"They joined. Mustafar joined." Leia said.

"That's great." Luke said.

"And he's had all the slaves freed. That means we can take Amber back with us." Leia said.

"That's great." Mayla said.

Soon everyone was backing doing what they had been doing.

Luke stared at Mayla who was leaving the room.

"Look if you like the girl that much just ask her out before I do it for you." Han said.

"I –" Luke said.

"Go." Han said.

Han got Luke to go after Mayla, but when they turned the corner to where Mayla was a surprise waited for them.

"So 7:00 a week from today is when we'll go out?" Mayla asked.

"Yep." Lando said.

Luke and Han were wide eyed. They backed away around the corner.

"I'm sorry kid." Han said.

"This isn't over." Luke said.

"What do you mean?" Han asked.

"I still have one move." Luke said.

Then Luke turned around the corner and went down the hall.

When Han finally caught up to Luke he saw another shock.

"So dinner at 7 when we get back?" Luke asked.

"I'll see you then." Amber said.


Ok I hate this chapter but I needed to get this all in. Anyway next chapter is the one that you've all been waiting for, Padmé's final condition is revealed.

And in case you guys didn't get the whole love triangle thing here it is:

Luke likes Mayla, but Lando also likes her. Lando is now dating Mayla, so Luke decided to date Mayla's best friend even though he likes Mayla. But who Mayla likes more is still a mystery.
