Chapter Thirteen
Roxanne woke up in the middle of the night and saw a light outside her porch. She got up out of bed, slipped on a robe, and went to go see who it was. She looked out the window and saw Siri sitting on the porch.
Siri sensed Roxanne before she walked out the door and said, "Hey."
"Hi," Roxie said with a small smile.
"Your father's funeral is going to be tomorrow," Siri said.
Roxie nodded and turned to leave when Siri said, "Come sit beside me."
Roxanne obeyed her and Siri continued, "You are coming with us after the funeral."
Roxanne's eyes widened and asked, "To be trained as a Jedi?"
Siri smiled at her and said, "That would have been something your father would have said if he would still be alive."
Siri looked into her metallic sky-blue eyes and said, "Our meeting was not a coincidence. Nothing happens by accident. You are very strong in the Force. You may or may not be accepted by the Council, but if you do choose to accept the path of the Jedi it is a long period of training and it is a hard life."
Siri knew it must have meant a lot to her, though Roxie did not say. Instead she hugged Siri and went to pack her bags and fell asleep.
