When I was ten years old, I had been alone on the streets for two years. I had stolen to get by, which I wasn't really proud of. One night, I picked the wrong target. I stole some fruit from a Mafia Family, and now the thugs had me cornered in an alley, where I had lived.

"This'll teach you to steal from me." The leader growled, punching me in the gut. With a scream, I fell to the ground and curled up in pain.

"Please... Stop..." I moaned. "I'm... Sorry." I began to sob as the thugs kicked me repeatedly. As they beat me, I prayed for help... Or for a swift death. I cried out in agony as one harsh kick broke my ribs, my blood like fire. "Someone... Please... Help me..."

"Step away from the kid." A voice snarled in the dark. The thugs turned and saw someone.

"Look what we have here. A little Rebel." A thug laughed. "What are you gonna do, girlie? Shoot us?" Someone shot the ground, missing his foot by a millimeter. The hole smoked.

"I won't miss the next shot." The person warned. "So, scream and run." The thugs ran, and the person and I laughed, me somehow finding the strength despite all of my injuries. That was Lesson One of Living with Heaven: Heaven could always make me laugh, no matter what the situation was, or how dire. "That was fun. Whatcha doing here, kid?"

"It's where I live." I sighed, trying to make out what the person looked like through the tears in my eyes as I sat up. I could only see teal. "The Empire took my parents two years ago."

"The Empire ruined my life, too." The person admitted. I noticed that it was a teenaged girl's voice. Then, she seemed to notice my condition, and became concerned. "You want me to fix you up?"

"You're not gonna take me to the Empire?" I asked.

"No way! The Empire has orders to kill me on sight." The figure laughed for some reason at that. Why was she laughing at being wanted?

"Why?"

"It's a long story. Come on, I'll take you to my place." The girl picked me up and I rode on her shoulder outside of the town and into a mountain range. It was still dark, so I couldn't really tell what she looked like. "It's just a little farther!" The girl climbed up one last cliff, and I was shocked. "Welcome to Le Ice Palace." It was a giant blue palace of ice, glowing a bright blue against the dark of that night. "Come on!" The girl brought me inside, and I just stared in wonder. The teen girl gently set me down on the cold icy floor. "What's your name, kid?"

"Ezra, Ezra Bridger." I answered timidly, finally seeing what the girl looked like. She had frizzy brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin. She wore teal and black Mandalorian armor, with a gun and three strange devices at her belt.

"My name is Heaven, Heaven Song." The girl smiled. "The reason I brought you here is so no one sees." Oh crap. I was gonna be murdered! Heaven raised her hand, and there was a flash of green light. When it faded, I was healed. I looked at Heaven in shock, but then I grinned, seeing that the girl had helped me. I wasn't gonna get murdered! "There you go!"

"This is amazing! How did you do that?!"

"Well, I'm from a planet called Gallifrey, and some people injected me with stuff and gave me my powers. And... I'm a Jedi Knight." A Jedi?! No way!

"Whoa!" I gaped. "And you live here?!"

"Yep. I have for ten years." Heaven grinned, hands on her hips.

"But you look sixteen!" I exclaimed. Heaven sighed, looking down.

"I know. I'm thirty nine years old. I haven't aged in twenty three years. I'm afraid it's all wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey."

"Whoa. Cool!" Heaven's smile came right back.

"Ezra, how'd you like to stay with me for a while? Leave that alley? It's cool if you don't wanna-"

"I'd love to!" I squealed. Could this be some sort of gift from the universe? To make up for my parents being taken? All the suffering I endured?

"I have another base here on Lothal. It's warmer." Heaven smiled. "Come on!" I walked next to Heaven through a field of tall grass towards an old abandoned Communications Tower. We took the lift and went to the top. There was one room, which Heaven had outfitted with two beds, a small kitchen, a few shelves with some scattered books, and a couch. "I know It's not much, but-"

"It's great!" I exclaimed. Heaven grinned and let me settle in. "So... You're really a Jedi Knight?" Heaven pulled two of the three strange objects from her belt and activated them, revealing a light saber and a light dagger, which glowed teal. "Wow... So, you can use the Force?"

"Yep!" Heaven raised her hand, focused, and a book rose off the shelf and into my hands.

"Whoa!" I looked at the book. "I wonder if I could do that someday..."
