The next day

Rae was in the common room, sitting by herself and looking over her twin lightsabers. She was making some minor adjustments, making sure they were in prime condition. She opened up her lightsaber to view her purple crystal inside one of her twin lightsabers. Lightsaber was going to begin soon with Kanan so Rae wanted to just pass the time.

The nightmare she had before reminisced in her mind like a recording. It just kept playing over, and over, and over, and over again in her memory. The nightmare haunted her, this one worse than most. She didn't want to talk it out though. What would the others think about it? The possibility of turning back to the Dark side had always ran through Rae's subconscious and haunted her. Her possibly turning to the Dark side and killing her friends? That was a thought that sent shivers down her spine.

Rae looked over the glowing purple crystal with scrutiny. Her attention was taken by the swish of the common room door. Rae closed up her lightsaber hilt and looked saw Athena standing there, bundled up in her black sweatshirt and some long pants with her hair in a messy ponytail. She had a rosy complexion and her eyes didn't expect Athena to sleep so long. She's usually a night owl and early bird. Rae saw that Athena had a red nose that snuffled. Rae put her two lightsabers on her belt and stood.

"Athena, you don't look too good," stated Rae.

Athena gave Rae an annoyed look, she replied with a sniffle, "Morn'g to y' twho."

"No, really, are you sick or something? You don't look too good."

"I' fwne!" Athena assured with a stuffed nose.

Rae gave Athena an unsure look as she crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes, she said, "Athena, you sure? You have been sleeping on the floor lately, you may have caught something."

"It's n'thin'," Athena sniffled.

"Athena, you're sick-"

"No I' n't!" Athena defied. "I'm fwne."

There was a swish of the door and Hera, dressed in her normal pilot suit, came through the door into the common room. She looked over to see Rae and Athena standing and she gave Athena a concerned look.

"Hey, kid, you ok?" Hera asked with concern as she looked over to Athena.

"Ye'h, I' fwne," Athena assured, a sniffle to follow.

Hera didn't believe that for a fleeting moment. She took of one of her gloves and placed her hand on Athena's forehead to check for a temperature. Her suspicions were confirmed and Hera removed her hand from Athena's forehead. Hera crossed her arms, she stated, "You're sick. You got a fever. I told you sleeping on the floor was a bad idea."

"I'm f'e! It's just allwages!" Athena pled.

"Athena, you're sick," Hera started. "You need to rest."

"Nuh-uh!"

Hera gave Athena a death glare and Athena still kept her stubbornness firmly planted. Hera stated, "You. Are. Sick. You need to heal."

"Nuh-uh!" Athena shook her head, making her stumble a little with lightheadedness.


The next thing Rae knew; she was sitting in the wooden chair next to the orange couch in the common room with an icepack in her hand with Kanan standing not too far away with a cup of tea. Athena sat on the couch with exhaustion in her, but somehow she kept herself semi awake. She had denied any help whatsoever, whether it was an icepack for her headache, a blanket for her chills, or even tea, she'd deny she was even the slightest bit sick. Kanan was about ready to use the Force to make her shut up so they can actually pour the tea down her throat, Hera didn't let him.

Zeb walked into the common room with a blanket in his arms with Ezra holding a stuffed animal in the shape of a loth cat in his arms next to the lasat.

Ezra looked over to Kanan and held up the threadbared, beaten, slightly torn, loth cat stuffed animal, he said, "We thought these would help. It helped when I got sick when I was a kid."

"I' na s'ck!" Athena denied.

Rae looked over at the teen, she rolled her eyes and sarcastically stated, "Yeah, and I'm a purple lasat."

Zeb looked over to Rae and growled, "Shut it. I'm not purple."

"You'w naht?" Athena asked, confused.

"No," huffed Zeb. "It's lavender."

Kanan rolled his eyes, "Alright, you're lavender." Kanan turned to Ezra. "You know what types of sicknesses that are common on Lothal?"

"Well, Loth chills are pretty common. I got it when I was little. It lasts only for two days. She should be good the day after tomorrow if that's what she has."

"Alright, just in time for Empire day," Kanan confirmed and turned to Zeb. "Zeb, we gotta do some lightsaber training, watch over the kid."

"Waaaat? I fhine!" Athena whined as she stood. "I can dwo whitesaber twaining!"

Kanan glared at his sister with an annoyed look, he said, "Sit down. You're sick."

"I'm nah a baby," Athena crossed her arms. "I'm fwine."

"If you're so fine, then walk from one side of the room to the other," Kanan dared. "If you can do that without tripping, you really aren't sick."

"If I dwon't?" Athena questioned.

"If you're sick, you stay in bed."

Athena contemplated this for a moment and accepted the challenge. Rae took out her phone and started recording, for memory purposes. So, if they wanted anything to cheer themselves up, they could always look at the result of the challenge.

When Athena walked, she only stumbled slightly when she turned back to walk back to the couch. Once she reached the couch, she sat down with as much sass as she could possibly manage and had a cocky look on her face. Rae stifled a laugh once she saw the face of Kanan who seemed to be contemplating on how in the world the two were related.

"Fine, let's go do some lightsaber training," Kanan gestured with his head to follow him. Ezra gave Zeb the stuffed animal as he and Rae closely followed Kanan out of the common room with Athena behind them all.

Not too long after, they turned their head once they heard Athena run off in the other direction towards the 'fresher. The audible of her vomiting prompted a facepalm from Kanan and a grumble of several swear words as he followed after his little sister.

Ezra, Rae and Zeb shared a glance with each other.

Zeb looked at Ezra, he asked, "It isn't too contagious, is it?"

Ezra shrugged, he told, "It's a common cold. If you've ever gotten sick before with anything you probably can't catch it. "

"Makes sense. Earth does weaken the immune system for any Force-sensitive. When I was on Earth, I got sick a lot," commented Rae.

"Does that mean you'll catch it too then?" Zeb asked.

Rae shrugged, "I don't think so. I wasn't on Earth much longer than a month."

"Why does Earth weaken a Force-sensitive?" Ezra asked. "Would it have done something to Kanan while he was there? Or even me being there for a day?"

Rae shook her head, "You two wouldn't have been affected much at all. It starts really taking effect after a few weeks."


Hey, everyone! Sorry I didn't update last week! School has been an absolute bear and marching band is also taking up a lot of time. I'm gonna try to update again soon if I can.

Pretty much I have to go to marching band every Friday night, be exhausted Saturday morning, do whatever homework I got, I have to deal with Girl Scouts and my Gold Award I'm working on, worry myself to death on my next geometry test, and the leaves are a burden to rake (especially if your yard consists of a bunch of full grown maple trees), I practice my flute for marching band to test off on songs, help a family member that has recently broken a hip and arm, and possibly babysit. And after school, I have a bunch of geometry homework which is extra hard due to the fact I took honors geometry rather than regular (I didn't even get to choose, my school chose that for me).

And a thing that had really upset me is that in my new school is that I AM NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE COLORED HAIR! THIS MADE ME SOOOOO MAD! I HAD TO DYE MY HAIR TO A 'NATURAL COLOR' SO I WOULDN'T GET SUSPENDED! I HATE THAT RULE!I don't even go to a private school or anything; I go to a public school and we have ridiculous rules. WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO WEAR BANDANAS (even as headbands)!BANDANAS! TELL ME WHERE THE LOGIC IS IN THAT! BANDANAS! WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH THEM!?

And at marching band, we keep being disrespected by other teams and bands because we're one of the 'poorest' schools in our area and we can't afford a nice band truck or uniforms that aren't over thirty years old. And the fact that our football team has lost every game except for one game this season just adds salt to the wound. So it other words; MY LIFE IS HECTIC!

Sorry about my rant, but I had to get it out of my system somehow.

And you might be wondering why I changed my username, the reason is that I didn't want my username to be the same as my OC. This is so I can be differentiated from my OC Athena.

Welp, that's it. Thanks for reading! Please comment! Thanks(:
