Meghan's Quarters: A Day Later

~Meghan's POV~

I lean back, rubbing my sore eyes from studying too much.

This test is going to be a killer.

But it's the only way to get into the university, because without a diploma, or any sign of education, they won't accept me without passing this test.

At least it's going to be over tomorrow.

A knock interrupts my thoughts, and Wedge comes in.

"How's the studying going?" He asks.

"Don't ask," I say grumpily, making a face at him.

He chuckles, "when's the test?"

"Tomorrow, and I, for one, am looking forward to when it's over," I say, reaching for my glass of water next to me.

"What are you going to major in?"

"Teaching, and I'm going to minor in something in the military, I'm not sure what yet."

"Why teaching?" Wedge asks.

I stand up, walk and look out my window facing the air traffic of Coruscant, "all my life, I barely got the chance for education, until I escaped from Tarkin. I don't want someone else to go through the same thing, it's always been my dream to do so, even while I was a slave."

"Well, good luck, the whole New Republic is behind you all the way." He says, hugging me.

I smile gratefully, "thanks Wedge."

University of Coruscant: Right Before the Testing Starts

I'm a nervous wreck.

I'm standing outside of the room that the testing is going to be.

I've waited so long for this.

This is the thing that I've been dreaming about for as long as I can remember.

Now, I don't know if I can make it.

Well there's only one way to find out.

Summoning all my courage, and not hesitating anymore, I open the door and step in, hoping for the best.

And hoping that I'll pass.

Here goes nothing.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hours later, I trudge out of the exam room, mentally drained.

Man, that was a killer test; they asked everything that you can think of, and then some.

I think I passed, though, and luckily I can find out right away.

I walk to the student services office, and after I identify myself, I get the results in a sealed envelope.

I tear it open, knowing that the results would decide my education.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I walk into Rogue Squadron's HQ, planning on taking a nap.

'I'll tell Wedge about the results afterwards, I just need to rest right now,' I think as I trudge towards my quarters.

"Will Major Meghan come to the briefing room? She's needed." I bite back a groan at these words, great, my first day working part-time and I get patrol first thing.

Wonderful, well cancel the nap.

I trudge to the briefing room, hoping that I can slip in a nap afterwards as I step in.

"SURPRISE!!!"

My jaw drops when I see all of Rogue Squadron, Luke and everyone else I know standing inside.

That's not I'm drawn to, though.

"MOM! DAD!" I yell, running and hugging them with tears in my eyes.

"Meghan," mom says, crying, "I'm so sorry about before."

"It's okay, I'm just glad that you're okay, and reversing brainwash worked," I say.

I finally let go and turn to Luke, "thank you, for everything." I say softly, the only thing that I could say.

And the only thing that needs to be said.

"Anytime," is his reply.

"Well, congratulations, Meghan, what are you going to do now that you have your parents back to normal?" Gavin says in talk show host voice.

I grin, there's no time like the present, "I'm going to college at the University of Coruscant." I say.

"You got accepted!" Wedge says happily hugging me.

The congratulatory remarks and backslapping continued for several moments, until I feel like everyone in the room at least congratulated me at least once.

"Meghan!" A young girl comes running up to me, her hair in pigtails.

"Callista!" I say, picking her and hugging her, happy that she didn't tense when I did so.

"Will you teach me?" She asks eagerly.

I chuckle, "Maybe after I graduate."

I stand there, holding Callista in my arms as the celebration continues.

Who knew that five years ago, I didn't have any education?

Who knew that five years ago, I was a slave?

So many things have changed.

I have two families now.

My blood family.

And the New Republic.

Now, I'm going to a university.

I flashback to when I was a slave leaning against the glass pane, watching the endless line of traffic go by.

That day changed my life forever.

I'm now free, and will be for the rest of my life.

Despite everything.

Despite all that has happened to me.

I'll continue on.

The Beginning
