*cough*
Ava stopped for a moment. She could have sworn she heard something.
*cough*
There it was again. She turned to look back into the room.
Nothing.
"Ava, we must go help." Ava held a finger to her lips, listening.
A movement caught her eyes. Looking closer, she saw Obi-Wan's hand twitch. Qui-Gon's eyes also saw it.
They held their breaths.
Suddenly, Kadi moved, coughing hard.
Obi-Wan gasped, like he had been holding his breath, and opened his eyes.
Ava and Qui-Gon race to their sides instantly.
"Master?" Kadi whispered hoarsely, opening her eyes.
Tears ran down Ava's face once again.
Tears of joy.
"Yes Padawan. It is I." She said.
"What....happened?" Qui-Gon met her gaze.
What had happened?
"I really don't know."
"I'm....so....tired." Kadi's eyes began to close.
"Sleep, my Padawan." She said, using the Force to put her into a peaceful sleep.
Chapter 37
I was standing in the strange, beautiful gardens again.
"You've done well." I turned to see Master Quegrtan standing there.
"The strength is within. I think I understand now." I said, smiling at my enlightenment.
"And what is that strength?"
"My love and caring for those those to me?" She said hesitantly.
"Yes." He nodded. "It was so great between you and your brother that in that moment, your love joined as one and overcame the evil around you. In that moment, your connection was pure light and the Force flowed around you like never before."
"kadi..." I looked around, confused.
Who said that?
"Your master is calling. It is time to go." Everything began to fade away.
"Wait." I called. The garden focused once again.
"Yes?"
"Why?"
"Why did I help you?"
I nodded.
"You and your twin are the only hope for the Jedi. A great darkness is descending on the order and will soon overwhelm it."
"But....why us?"
"Twins. Identical high counts of midichlorians. A bond stronger than any other. Never before has this happened."
I frowned. What was he getting at?
"I don't understand."
"You both are special. Unique."
"kadi..."
"It is time for you to leave." The world began to fade away for the second time.
This time though, I accepted it, falling into peaceful nothingness.
Chapter 38
"No, I don't remember what happened." Obi-Wan repeated for what seemed like the hundredth time that day.
They had woken up earlier to find themselves still in the palace, but in one of the guest bedrooms. I had been surprised to find one of the healers collapsed on the ground, the same purple splotches covering her face. It turned out Mokee had somehow gotten out of the room I had been staying in and found me. He thought he was protecting me and Obi-Wan when he bit the healer who had been in the process of giving us another shot. I managed to explain Mokee was just trying to protect us and my master finally agreed to let me keep him.
At the moment, we were standing in front of the Council in the Republic Cruiser taking us home.
"Neither do I." I said, trying to surpress a sigh. I was tired, sore, and all this questioning was beginning to get on my nerves. We had told them everything that had happened and they still weren't satisfied.
"Strange, this is." Master Yoda commented. He had hardly said a word the whole time. "Go, you may. Rest, you need. Discuss this, we will."

Obi-Wan and I stood at the viewport with our masters as we landed at the Jedi Temple. I had never seen so many ships landing at once before. Jedi were flooding out of the ships and heading for the doors leading into the Temple.
"Its good to be home." Obi-Wan said.
"Yes, it is." Qui-Gon agreed, giving his Padawan a hug from behind. Obi-Wan and I grinned at each other, then turned back to the viewport. Stretching out, I felt the thousands of signatures in the Force.
The Temple was alive again, just like it should be.
Chapter 39
Obi-Wan and I quickly made our way to the landing platform. It was time for our parents to leave.
We walked onto the platform, instantly spotting the small shuttle that would take them back to Earth. I felt guilty they had spent their whole visit worrying about us.
"Mom. Dad." I yelled, getting their attention as they prepared to board.
They turned towards us as we approached them. Before they could say anything, Obi-Wan spoke up. "We wanted to apologize for what happened. We shouldn't have disappeared on you like that."
"You did what you had to do." Our mom said, she smiled slightly. "We are so proud of you."
Obi-Wan and I exchanged a confused look. We had been expecting a completely different reaction from them.
"But...we disappeared in the middle of the night, leaving you only a short holo-message." I said, frowning.
"Yes. But you went to save the Jedi. And you succeeded."
I smiled. "Yeah. I guess."
Just then, the pilot walked down the ramp. "Mr. and Mrs. Lars, we must go now."
Our parents quickly hugged us both. "We'll try to come back to visit soon."
We stepped back as their parents boarded the shuttle and it slowly took off.
"Well, everything is back to normal now." Obi-Wan said as we headed back inside.
I looked at him. "When has our life ever been normal?"
"Good point." We walked in silence for a moment. Obi-Wan suddenly grinned. "One good thing came out of this."
"What?" I frowned.
"You didn't sing." He said, taking off down the hall.
I couldn't help but grin. "Obi-Wan! Get back here!"
Yes, things were definitely back to normal. Or as normal as our life could get.
