' Look here, try to use the Force and lift these bowls up.'

Ezra had invited Lora and Jacie to his own quarters to practice the use of the Force. He had somehow found himself some bowls from the large bunch of stuff Leia brought them. They were slightly chipped from being thrown around on a spaceship, but definitely okay to use.

He laid two bowls on his small table, one in front of each kid. Lora and Jacie were looking at the two bowls apprehensively.

' Yeah, I haven't really introduced myself,' Ezra cleared his throat. ' I am Ezra Bridger, uh, Jedi Knight.' It felt kind of weird and exciting to properly announce himself as a Jedi Knight. He never thought he had the actual chance to become a Knight.

' Will I be a Jedi Knight someday?' Jacie asked in awe.

' Yeah, of course,' Ezra grinned. ' With suitable training of course. Now, let's get you started on the Force techniques. Today, we will be doing basic stuff, such as lifting light objects with your mind. Allow me to demonstrate before we start.'

He simply closed his eyes and with just a bit of concentration, the bowl bent to his will and lifted itself above the table. The two kids were too busy gaping with fascination and excitement. ' That is it,' He waved his hand and the bowl dropped back onto the table surface lightly. ' Now, hold out your hands in front of you, just here...'

And that was what they did. ' Good, once you got the position, focus. Picture in your mind you are lifting the bowl up. Lift the bowl up.' Ezra found himself repeating the words Kanan had said to him a lot of years ago, and he secretly thanked him for that. Kanan was an insanely good teacher, even at difficult times.

Lora's bowl tipped over with a clank. Jacie's hadn't moved at all.

' Aw, my bowl got tipped over!' Lora sighed.

' At least your bowl moved. Why doesn't mine move?' Jacie asked, slightly disappointed.

' Skills are not formed in just one day. One can only become a skilled warrior by working hard,' Ezra explained. ' When I first learnt the Force, I wasn't able to lift the bowl at all. But I practiced hard, and eventually, I got it. It would be same for you.' He was surprised at how mature he sounded. He almost sounded like Kanan now. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to add what Rex told him a long time ago, ' Also, in some cases, besides looking through the Force, remember to use your eyes too.'

Jacie and Lora nodded. ' Great. Now let's try that again,' Ezra rearranged the bowls.

By the end of the hour, Lora and Jacie had managed to wobble their bowls a bit. It wasn't much, but that was definitely a great improvement and a good beginning. ' Well done, both of you,' Ezra said kindly. ' If you continue to work on it, you'll get it. Feel free to ask me for help though, or any of the other Masters.'

' I don't really know the other masters,' Lora said shyly.

Ezra nodded, ' Oh right, we haven't really introduced ourselves to you. Okay, I'll try to briefly introduce them for you. The blonde guy that brought you up here, is Luke Skywalker, Grandmaster of the Order, the highest rank. You may know him as Luke Skywalker of the Rebel Alliance too.'

' Yeah, he is so cool,' Jacie squealed. ' We saw him on the holotv. He blew up the Death Star!'

' He saved the day!' Lora exclaimed with admiration.

Looks like Luke got some fans, Ezra chuckled lightly to himself.

' Indeed. And the brown haired guy sporting that small ponytail and green clothes? He is Kanan Jarrus, Jedi Master. Great teacher. He was the one who trained me in the ways of the Force. The Togruta woman is called Ahsoka Tano, Jedi Master as well. Fantastic warrior. The brown haired guy with a scar above his eye is Anakin Skywalker. Well, he is a temporary teacher, and is well-known to be a great Form V user. Ah, don't forget Caleb Dume too. He is a Jedi Padawan, and temporary teacher as well.'

' That's a lot of people,' Jacie commented.

' Yeah, but this Order will continue to grow once more people come along,' Ezra said. ' Okay... Actually, are you two hungry?'

Jacie and Lora nodded eagerly.

' Let's go and grab you some food.'

' Wow,' Luke and Ahsoka peered over the list once Leia finished. They had asked Leia to scribble down a brief list of who she wanted to invite over to her wedding, but hadn't expected there would be so many.

Ahsoka could identify most of the people, because they were all high-ranked officials in the Rebellion, such as Mon Mothma. She had even invited Commander Sato. ' Who are the rest though?' Luke squinted at the names.

' Oh, Senators,' Leia looked at Luke. ' Really good friends of mine from the Imperial Senate.'

' IMPERIAL SENATE?' Luke spluttered. ' You've got friends there?'

' Hey. All of them are rebel sympathisers, please. They often give us supplies and credits, but they never get caught. Though don't expect me to invite Tarkin,' She laughed. ' Look here, that is Senator...' She muttered out a large string of names that Luke and Ahsoka had absolutely no idea of.

' And that is Senator Lux Bonteri of Onderon,' She poked out a name. ' A good friend of mine.'

' Wait, Lux?' Ahsoka repeated. ' He's still around?'

' Oh, you know Lux?' Leia smiled. ' Yeah, he is still around on the Imperial Senate. But he mostly stayed quiet on Senate sessions, and rarely talked unless the issues involve Onderon. He occasionally gave us supplies and ships from Onderon to aid us in the Rebellion. Yeah, besides him, Senator Riyo Chuchi of Pantora also helped us a lot. She didn't talk much on the Senate.'

' Ah,' Ahsoka breathed, extremely relieved. ' Lux and Riyo are safe. I thought they wouldn't survive in the tyranny of the Empire. Being a Senator in the Empire is even harder than being a Senator in the Republic. At least back in the old times, you won't get executed.'

' Lux and Riyo are smart. Of course they can survive,' Leia waved off. ' We often went out for lunch together. They were still around on the Senate when the Emperor died, so I guess they are free agents now.'

' Yeah,' Luke nodded. ' If they are your friends, you can invite them. But can the place hold so many people though?'

Ghost-Anakin who hadn't been talking for a while, pondered for a while, ' It's pretty large, I guess.'

' Do you think so too, Artooie?' Ahsoka asked R2, using his nickname. R2 piped up a confirmation happily.

' Ah, you still insist to call him Artooie,' Anakin shook his head with a smile.

' Speaking of that Lux Bonteri boy, I'm looking forward, to have some real talk, with some real folks,' Ghost-Anakin cracked his knuckles maliciously.

' Master...' Ahsoka face-palmed. ' How many times do I need to tell you, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, and-'

' He's no good,' Even Anakin complained.

' Of course not,' Ahsoka counter-argued. ' He's gentlemanly and kind!'

' So?' Ghost-Anakin crossed his arms. The rest of the group watched the debate with silent amusement. Leia was desperately trying not to laugh.

' He had never done anything, so stop being so protective!' Ahsoka yelled at Ghost-Anakin.

R2 chirped innocently in Binary, er, not including the time he kissed you in that Death Watch Camp?

Unfortunately, Ghost-Anakin heard that perfectly and all hell broke loose.

' HE DID WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!'

Teehee! :D

Anyways, the dental visit went okay. When the dentist chair went up at the end, I totally felt like Darth Vader in ROTS XD
