Chapter 3: The Padawan meets the Jedi Order
Abbey asked around, asking commanders is there were any open starfighters or anything she could use. She finally found the guy in charge.
"Please, sir, are there any open fighters that could get me to Tatooine?" she asked hopefully.
The commander chuckled and replied, "Of course. There is an X-wing that now belongs to you in docking bay 100. I just need to know where you're going, please.
"I'm going to Mos Eisley," Abbey said.
The commander punched it in on his terminal. "Okay, you may go whenever you please."
Abbey rushed to the docking bay and got in. After some soldiers put an R2 unit in the back, Abbey took off from Dantooine. The ride was very uneventful. She switched from manual to Autopilot, then took a quick nap.
She was back in the Temple, standing on her -1. She attempted to move to 0, and she prevailed.
"You are at Mos Eisley, Abbey," said the Jedi, "The apartment is right near the Docking Bay you are in. Now wake up and come meet the Order."
She woke up.
She got out of the cockpit to see a Rodian that worked for Mos Eisley.
"Amared estingo credits, tyed sae Mos Eisley," The rodian said, extending a hand.
Abbey knew a little bit of his language, and understood she had to pay 50 credits as a docking fee. She handed it over, and the Rodian ran away. She had been tricked into giving some punk 50 credits when docking was really free.
She ran to get her credits back with unsurpassable speed. She caught up, then snagged them back. She then twirled around and ran for the apartment.
She shut the door, looking around a very old apartment building. It had deep cracks on the walls, and sand leaked in from the bottom of the door. The stairs to go down were very steep, and someone could easily trip.
In the old meeting room downstairs, the Jedi Order were becoming bored, so the masters started training apprentices, young Padawans practiced the Force with Master Skywalker, and Kyle Katarn lit up the place with a thunderbolt.
Abbey heard the ruckuss and started going downstairs. Down and down she went, finally reaching the door to the meeting room. Abbey knocked, then opened it.
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing. The Jedi she had seen in her visions was walking towards her. He reached out a hand.
"My name is Chris," he said, shaking hands with Abbey, "And I will be your mentor. I'll teach you the ways of the force, Padawan."
Just then another Jedi Knight spoke up. "She is too old, she cannot be trained."
The Jedi with the blue saber on the Death Star replied angrily, "We've made way over 4 exceptions to this rule! The Jedi Order trained Revan, Anakin, Master Skywalker, and Jaden Korr, just to name a few. What if we just abandoned this rule?"
There was a murmur of agreement throughout the room. Then Master Skywalker said to the Jedi Knight, "But Kyle, you almost fell to the dark side, remember?"
"Yes, I remember quite well... but Yoda taught you and look you you turned out?" Kyle said.
"Never mind, we will make yet another exception. Let us introduce ourselves. I'm Luke Skywalker..."
"I'm Kyle Katarn. You can call me Kyle," The blue lightsaber owner said.
"I'm Jaden Korr. I almost fell to the Dark Side." A green twi'lek waved to her.
"I'm Rosh Penin, I'm Kyle's apprentice, I too fell to the dark side for a period of time." Rosh said.
"I'm Mace Windu Jr. Jr. Jr., but you can just call me Mace Windu" a dark-skinned bald Jedi said. He also had a purple lightsaber.
The rest went on. After Abbey had met everybody, Chris led her upstairs to an empty room. Chris started teaching her to use the force. Abbey was always a quick learner, and had learned a lot at the end of an hour.
"That's enough for today," Chris said, and there was a moment of silence when they looked at each other. Abbey felt herself going red. He was, infact, very handsome.
"Um, we should go back downstairs. There are about 20 decent rooms the Jedi Order built onto this apartment. It's more of a meeting place. You can learn a little more tomorrow."
