"Have a guest, we do today," said Master Yoda, to the younglings. "Helping us, Sky will be."
"Hello," Sky said. She looked around at the younglings. It seemed so long ago she was one of them. Master Yoda told Sky to fetch the pilot's helmets for the younglings. She walked out of the dark training room into the brightness of the halls of the training facility. Her boots made a small clinking noise against the marble floor. She ran her hand along the wall to the supply room. It was cold and smooth. She liked that feeling. She went into the supply room and began to search for the pilot's helmets. She passed box after box of many things, except the pilot's helmets. Suddenly, she heard the clinking of a person's boots on the marble floors outside the supply room. Another reason she loved marble, you can't sneak up on anyone, to much noise. The door rattled and Sky kept looking at the boxes. Probably just a Master. The door opened and Sky turned her back to it.
"Sky?" said a deep, oh-so-familiar voice.
"Yes?" replied Sky, still not turning around.
"Sky, please talk to me," pleaded the voice. Sky found the box of helmets and pulled it out. A couple of other boxes fell on top of her. She moaned slightly and got up, ignoring the outstretched hand that was waiting to help her.
"I need to get back to Master Yoda's class," Sky said.
"Sky," said the voice, "just hear me out."
"Nova, please," Sky said, turning towards him. His eyes locked onto hers, and she felt like she was frozen.
"Sky, I'm not scared of you because of your past," Nova said, moving towards Sky, "it was self defence and I understand that. Please Sky, I want to be with you. I still love you."
"And I love you also Nova," Sky said softly, "but we can't do this."
Sky walked out of the room, but this time Nova followed her.
"You're not running away this time Sky," Nova said grabbing her arm.
"I need to get to Master Yoda's class," said Sky, angrily, grabbing her arm back from Nova's grasp and dropping the box of pilot's helmets. "Ah!"
"Let me help," Nova picked up the box and carried for Sky. "I'm helping Master Yoda too."
"Whatever, it doesn't matter to me," Sky said. They walked in silence to Master Yoda's class.
"Take you so long, what did?" Master Yoda asked.
"I'm sorry Master," said Sky, bowing, "I couldn't find the helmets. But Nova helped me."
"Ah! Thank you, I do, Nova," said Master Yoda. "Grab a helmet, younglings will."
The young ones went up and grabbed a helmet each. One little girl was having trouble with her helmet, so Sky went over to help.
"Here," Sky said softly, "let me help you with that."
"Thank you Master," said the little girl.
Sky laughed. "I'm not a Master, but you may call me Sky. What's your name?"
"Rogue," said the little girl.
"Rogue? That's a beautiful name," Sky said. Nova glanced over at Sky helping the little girl and smiled. She was so caring and sweet. It was hard to believe she was a murderer. No! She wasn't a murderer. It was self defence, Nova thought to himself.
"Use the Force, you must," said Master Yoda. The younglings began to fight with the remote. Lightsabers flashed this way and that. One little boy got so frustrated, he threw his helmet down on the ground and glared at the other children who could use the force. Nova walked up to him and picked up his helmet.
"Having a little trouble?" Nova asked.
"I can't do it," pouted the little boy.
"Now see here," said Nova, "don't say that. You need to try harder. Here let me show you." Nova put on the pilot's helmet, which was two sizes to small. The little boy laughed as Nova tried hard to pull the pilot's helmet down. "Ok well I can't seem to get the pilot's helmet on but you can. Try harder."
Sky watched as the little boy put the helmet back on and opened up his blue lightsaber. He began to swing it around and he blocked every little shot the remote threw him. Sky smiled at how the little boy's confidence grew when Nova showed him he could do it. He would make a wonderful father one day, Sky thought to herself. I shouldn't be thinking like that. It's not allowed. Sky turned her gaze away from Nova and the little boy and focused on the younglings.
Nova looked at Sky, he had felt her gaze on him, but she had turned away. He looked at her then turned back to the small boy he was helping.
Soon enough, class had ended and Nova and Sky walked together to the supply room to put the helmets back. They walked in silence until the reached the supply room, when Sky tripped and fell on her butt, but quickly jumped up looking quite embarrassed.
"No need to be embarrassed," laughed Nova, reading her mind.
"I'm not embarrassed," countered Sky.
"I'm sure," Nova smile and leaned in to kiss her.
"Shouldn't be doing this around here you two," said a voice from the door, "you'll get caught and we wouldn't want that."
"Elaina?" Sky smiled, "what're you doing here?"
"Where else would I go?" Elaina said, sarcastically.
"How about," Nova said, "somewhere else."
"Nope," Elaina shot back, "I think I am gonna stay right here."
"It's ok Elaina," smiled Sky.
"Ok with you," Nova pouted, "not ok with me."
"Oh stop your pouting Nova," Elaina said, quite rudely.
"Yes, please stop pouting," said Sakura, walking into the room.
"Oh, may the Force be with me," said Nova.
"Oh thanks a lot Nova," said Sakura, slapping him lightly on the arm. Nova crumbled as if he were in pain, moaning out loud. Sky picked him up and gave him a slight kiss on the lips, and it seemed to make him a lot better.
"Elaina," said Sky, sneakily.
"Yeah?" replied Elaina.
"How's about me, you and Sakura stir up a little trouble outside of the temple," smiled Sky, slyly.
"I can't go," Nova pouted, "I need to have a meeting with Master Yoda. And I'm already late! I'll see you later Sky." He kissed Sky lightly and quickly on the cheek and nodded towards Elaina and Sakura.
"Man Sky," Sakura said, looking in the direction Nova left, "you landed yourself a nice boyfriend."
"I know," Sky sighed.
"Oh!" Elaina cried, "You two and boys!"
"You're just mad cause Anakin doesn't pay attention to you," Sakura teased.
"It's not her fault he thinks about Padme instead of her," Sky nudged Sakura.
"Oh stop it," said Elaina, "or you just might find something unpleasant in your sleeping chambers tonight."
"I doubt Sky will be in her own sleeping chambers," Sakura laughed.
"Yeah really," Elaina laughed also.
"Oh shush," Sky said, giggling a bit. "Oh my stars, did you two see Master Yoda and Master Yaddle today? You could totally tell something was going on last night."
"Sky Beta!" said Elaina. "I know!"
"Did you guys see Master Windu's head the other day!?" Sakura giggled. "I swear he uses shoe wax on it."
The three girls giggled fiercely.
"Did you see Master Rancisis?" Elaina giggled. "Talk about someone who needs to shave."
The girls burst into hysterical laughter.
"And Master Tiin!" laughed Sky. "Talk about a reek look-alike!"
The three girls were in tears now.
"I'm glad you find that so funny girls." said a voice from the door.
"M…Master Tiin!" squeaked Sakura.
"Yes Sakura," Master Tiin said, quite strictly, "Now are you three quite finished gossiping about your elders?"
"Ye…yes Master Tiin," Sky said.
"And what do you have to say for yourselves?" Master Tiin said.
"We're sorry Master," said the three, quietly.
"I should think so," Master Tiin directed, "now go off somewhere else."
"Yes Master," said Sky, the three girls started heading towards the door.
"And girls," said Master Tiin.
"Yes Master?" answered Sakura.
"Next time I catch you talking like that," he said, "there shall be punishment."
"Of course Master Tiin," Elaina said.
The three girls headed out of the room and as soon as they were out of ear shot they burst into hysterical laughter.
"He really does look like a reek," Elaina laughed.
"Who looks like a reek?" asked Nova, coming up to the gang, with Anakin behind him.
"You," Elaina said, quite rudely.
"Aw Elaina," said Anakin coming up behind her, "why you gotta be so mean to Nova?"
"Because he's Nova," Elaina said giggling.
"Good point," Anakin smiled at her.
"Thanks a lot Anakin," said Nova.
"Um Anakin," Sky asked, "how come you aren't on the mission with Master Obi-wan, Master Windu and my Master?"
"They sent me back," Anakin said, looking quite depressed, " I was getting in the way."
"It's ok Anakin," said Elaina, giving him a hug, "you probably weren't in the way. And hey! At least you can stay here with us."
"Yeah," he said, "I guess."
"Elaina?" asked Sky.
"Yes?"
"Where are you staying tonight?"
"Um, in my chambers."
"How about you come to my chambers at about 10?"
"Ok…why?"
"So we can talk," Sky said, "it's been so long."
"Alright," smiled Elaina.
"Well there go my plans for the night," Nova smiled, slyly.
"What plans?" Anakin asked, "not like you had any in the first place."
"Oh shut up Anakin," replied Nova.
"We best be off," Sky said.
"Who's we?" asked Nova.
"Me and Anakin," said Sky, sarcastically. "We're off to have some fun. Come along Anakin."
"Alright!" Anakin said, he had a sly smile on his face.
"Well," said Nova, looking around, "if you're off to have fun with Anakin, I'm off to have fun with Elaina."
He put his arm around Elaina and she pushed it off.
"You wish," Elaina said. Everyone started laughing.
"I meant you, Nova," said Sky.
"Oh…"Nova replied, looking quite embarrassed.
"Alright, well you can stay here if you wish," Sky said, she started to walk off.
"No! Wait!" Nova yelled.
The gang saw Nova catch up with Sky. They expected to see them kiss but Master Unduli was prowling the marble hallways.
"Those two are really in love," said Elaina, quite softly.
"I know," said Anakin. He looked at Elaina and a warm feeling flowed through him. Elaina must have felt it to, because she turned away from him.
"Ok well seeing as everyone is flirting today," Sakura said, "I'm going to go study a planet for a bit."
"Flirting?" Elaina asked.
"Yes flirting," Sakura said, in a know-it-all-voice, "First Nova and Sky, now you and Anakin."
Elaina blushed, along with Anakin.
"Umm Sakura, I think I'll come with you," Elaina said. "Goodbye Anakin."
"Goodbye Elaina," Anakin said softly.
Sakura and Elaina headed towards the archive and Anakin went to find Nova.
Hopefully he isn't with Sky, thought Anakin, or I'll never get to talk to him.
