D/C: No, I don't own star wars. And even if you did sue me, all you'd get
would be about $10 and half a packet of spearmint polos!
A/N: hi! Okay, I know it's not really going anywhere fast but hopefully it will soon. It's meant to be sort of angsty but it's not going that way just now. If you hold on a while I'll try to fix it :-p

A few days passed and Obi-Wan declared Seoidín "in the clear". He meant that she would hopefully wake up any day soon.
A lot had happened since the day that they had found her. The ship had been repaired and Qui-Gon had won Anakin's freedom. Now they were on their way to the Jedi Council. It had been discovered that Anakin had more than the average amount of midi-chlorients.
In those few days, Anakin took it almost as duty to check on the stranger. Qui-Gon was reluctant to move her from Tatooine but the Queen pressed the urgency of her business.

Seoidín awoke. She kept her eyes tightly shut as her brain began to speed up. She breathed deeply. "What a nightmare." She thought. She stirred on the bed and gasped. A sharp pain ran through her back. She opened her eyes. The shock of what she saw caused her to jump up. Pain shot up her spine once again causing her to stagger and fall. She screamed out in pain.
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon burst into the room with their lightsabres glowing. Seoidín looked at them with fear as she stood up slowly and leaned against the wooden selves behind her. Her eyes darted swiftly around the room searching for an escape route.
"Ah, so you're awake" Obi-Wan laughed.
Something clicked in Seoidín's mind. "Okay-well, he's English"
"Put down your sabre Obi-Wan"
"Yes Master"
"Okay, oppressed English person-I'm fine, don't panic, don't panic" she gathered her thoughts "Who are you?" she asked in what she hoped was a calm tone.
"I am Qui-Gon Jin and this is my young Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi."
Seoidín noticed Qui-Gon's Irish accent but decided not to comment on it. Besides, she had more important things to find out.
"What's a Padawan?"
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon looked at each other- *Memory loss? She must have amnesia"
"Uh, please, sit down" Qui-Gon gestured to the sofa. "What's your name?"
Seoidín decided that they probably had nothing to do with where she was. She hadn't seen either of them in her mirror and they seemed gentle and polite (except for the bursting into the room with the lightsabres bit). "Seoidín Amháin" she said meekly. Everything was sinking in. The word "calm" repeated itself in her head.
"I don't recognise the language," said Qui-Gon. "What is it?"
"It's Irish! You should know…"
"Irish? And on which planet do they speak this…Irish?"
"Uh…On Earth" she raised an eyebrow. "But only in Ireland" Fruit cake?
"Forgive me, I have never heard of Earth, could you tell me where it is?" he looked at Obi-Wan who just shook his head. He didn't know either.
"It's…in between Venus and Mars" she smiled awkwardly.
"Venus? Mars?" Obi-Wan looked at Qui-Gon. He had never heard of these planets. She must have lost her memory when she fell.
"Yeah, but anyway…" she cleared her throat. "Where am I?"
"We are currently between Ando and Rodia." Obi-Wan announced. He looked at her cautiously. He sensed something about her but he didn't know what it was. Perhaps it was that the Force was strong with her. He wasn't sure what to think.
"Ooooo-kay" she said breathlessly. "How did I get here"
"We found you on Tatooine. You fell from the sky. You were unconscious and hypothermic so we brought you here. Are you a Padawan?"
"I don't know. What's a Padawan?" she shivered. She was so cold.
"A Padawan is a young Jedi Knight-in-training." He said.
"What's a Jedi Knight?" she sensed that she had she had said something wrong; the two men were looking at her open-mouthed. "Sorry, I-"
"No, no, that's alright," said Qui-Gon suddenly remembering what was going on. "A Jedi is…a person who uses the Force to protect the Universe"
"The Force…?" she was completely aware that she must sound extremely stupid to them. But she had always been curious. They were so polite but she didn't like the way Obi-Wan was looking at her. The time went on and they explained a lot to her. She didn't have a hard time believing it because what had happened to her already was so unbelievable that anything else seemed reasonable.
"But, please-tell us where you come from," said Qui-Gon.
"Well," she giggled nervously. "I suppose I'm from another galaxy or something." She cleared her throat. "Uh…yeah" She looked around the room and spotted her book bag. "Look" she walked past Obi-Wan and picked up her bag. She took out her science book. She opened it and showed them pictures of the galaxy and earth.
The two looked at it in amazement. "It's so blue," said Obi-Wan awe. "It must be completely covered in water"
"Only about 80%" Seoidín replied.
"Lady Seoidín, please tell me what your crest means" said Qui-Gon. He was fascinated by the stranger and wanted to know everything about her. Especially about her planet and life.
She looked down at the crest on her jumper. "Oh, well…it's just my school crest. And these letters spell out the initials of my school. Ballincollig Community School. " She gasped and jumped up. The pain in her back made her cringe, thought it had eased a little. "I have to get back!" she exclaimed. "I can't stay here!"
Qui-Gon stood up and spoke calmly. "Please-we'll try to find a way but right now we've nothing to go on. We will approach the Jedi Council. They might have a solution…"
Inside Seoidín struggled with what he was saying. "You mean I might not get back?! Oh God, I have to- my family! I can't just…" She started to hyperventilate. Images of her parents worrying filled her mind. Tears welled up in her eyes. She swallowed hard and fought them back.
Obi-Wan bounded forward and put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll try hard to get you home" He looked meaningfully at Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon frowned.
She gave him a shakey smile. "Thank you, I know you will"
