Chapter 2: The Jedi Council

Rei took Danielle to the Jedi Council. The Council was made up of different alien and human Jedi Masters, including one of the wisest, Yoda. Yoda was a short, green, pointy-eared alien looking much like a rabbit. Rei held Danielle in his arms as he waited for the meeting to start.

Rei stood in the middle of a huge room with windows looking out at the city of Corustant, a planet made of all cities. Around the room was a half circle of chairs where all the Jedi Council members sat.

When the meeting started, the Council looked at Rei.

"New you bring us Master Rei, do you?" Yoda asked him. Rei bowed his head.

"I not only bring news, Master, but I have a request," Rei answered.
Mace Windu, a dark skinned, almost bald man nodded. "Tell us then."
"The Sith I was spying on killed a woman, and from what I heard, they were somehow enemies. The Sith was going to take the woman's child, but I came, and the Sith ran off. This is the child," Rei answered. He showed them Danielle, who was asleep in his arms, and he saw their eyes light up in amazement at not only the amulet, but how strong she was in the Force.

"Strong this child is in the Force, I think," Yoda said. Rei nodded.

"You all know of the prophecy of the Chosen One. This child wears the amulet of the Chosen One. If she is, I would like to take care of her myslef, and train her as my apprentice. I will also make her part of my family and she will be my daughter. This is the request I spoke of." Rei said.

They all nodded in agreenment, "You may have the child for your Padawan, Master Rei. As she grows older, we would like to test her to see if she is the Chosen One," Master Windu said. Rei lowered his head, and left.

Five years later, Danielle was five years old, but hadn't started training quiet yet.
One day, she got up out of bed in her bare feet and night gown, and ran toward Rei's room, giggling, and her hair bouncing on her back. She had dark blue eyes, and brown hair in a braid. She ran into Rei's room, and stopped when she saw him sleeping. She snuck toward him, and got ready to pounce him, but Rei opened his eyes quickly and grabbed her, picking her up, and putting her on the bed next to him. She laughed and screamed.

"Hmm, you thinks you're a good sneaker-upper on Daddy, you do, little princess? Wrong you are, I think," Rei said in a voice like Yoda's.

"Daddy!" Danielle said while laughing. He stopped, and rolled on his side to look at her, and she stopped laughing, looking at him.

"Morning, Princess," Rei said.

"Morning, Daddy," She said.

"Did you sleep good?" He asked.

"Yup. I had a dream about us getting breakfast because my tummy is grumbling," Danielle said.

"Somehow I doubt that, but we'll go anyway. Come on, lets get you dressed," Rei said. They got up and went to Danielle's room. Danielle sat on her bed while Rei picked out a dress. He turned, holding it up to himself.
"How do I look?" He asked. Danielle giggled.
"Daddy, you're silly," She said. She lifted her arms up, and he took her nightgown off, then slipped the dress on her. She then put her utility belt on. Then she started putting her hair in a braid.

"How do I look?" Danny, the nickname Rei had come up with for her, asked.

"Perfect. Go get your cloak and we'll go get breakfast," Rei answered. Danny ran out of her room to get her cloak, and Rei followed her. When he got to where she had left it by the door, she was already wearing it.
"Come on, lets go," Rei said. They held hands and went to get their breakfast.
