a/n I do not own Star Wars in any way, shape, or form. I do own Terry, Tony, Gabrielle, and Matris.

As they left the room Gabrielle turned to Tony," I don't think Matris likes me too much."

"Matris? She's always like that... but how do you figure that she doesn't like you?" Tony asked.

"I could feel it. It was radiating off of her... like I was intruding in her territory. That plus I could feel her trying to get into my mind," Gabrielle told him softly.

"Ahhhhhh," Tony grimaced. "Matris is a bit over protective. It's probably the fact that Terry and I have both just came out of some pretty bad relationships. I think it hurt Terry more than it did me... but he doesn't say much. I was pretty surprised he took to you so quickly. As a matter of fact I'm surprised I took to you so quickly."

"Oh," Gabrielle said at a loss for words.

"Don't worry about Matris," Tony said putting his arm around Gabrielle and leading her down the hall. "She'll get used to you after awhile. She's a very nice person after she gets used to you."

Gabrielle sighed. This is going to be very hard for me. I didn't think all this would happen on the first day. What am I getting myself into?, Gabrielle thought.

"Okay first stop," Tony said snapping out of her thoughts. "This is the mess hall... and it really is a mess. You should see it when everyone's in here eating."

Tony lead her through the mess hall. They walked down another hall into a huge auditorium.

"This is the lecture hall," Tony said waving around the room. "Every day we come here to listen to Master Skywalkers' lectures... then we go outside to practice whatever it is that he has asked us to practice that day. Today he'll most likely introduce you to everyone in the Temple."

Gabrielle looked at Tony alarmed. "You mean that I have to stand up there in front of everyone?"

"Don't worry about it. It won't take long to introduce you to everyone then you can come back and sit by all of us," Tony said. "Oh that reminds me, I need to introduce you to the others that usually hang with us. Come on... you'll like these people. Two of them could practically be your siblings if what we've all heard is right."

"What have you heard?" Gabrielle asked struggling to keep up with Tony.

"That Captain Han Solo picked you up off of Corellia, brought you back to Coruscant with him, and raised you for a bit. Am I correct?" Tony asked.

"Yes, but how would this make them like my siblings?" Gabrielle asked.

"Well the two I was talking about are Jaina and Jacen Solo. Then there's Tenel Ka and Lowbacca. Those four are inseparable," Tony said as they stopped in front of a room.

Tony knocked. From within came a voice that said, "Come on in!"

They walked in and we're met with a mess bigger than Terry's room. A girl that Gabrielle remembered seeing earlier popped up in front of them.

"Hiya Tony!" she said. "What you doing? And is this Gabrielle?"

"Yea. The one and only... Gabrielle this is Jaina," Tony introduced them.

"I'd shake hands with you but their kind of greasy," Jaina said. "But hello... over there is my twin brother, Jacen, and our friends Tenel Ka and Lowbacca."

Varied hellos were exchanged.

"Damn look at the time," Tony said. "We better be heading off to the lecture hall."

"Yea your right, Tony," Jaina said. "Come on guys. See you there!"
