(A/N: This is a What if? Story..what if Anakin Skywalker had not fallen to
the dark side and now the Old Republic is split into two? With the ever-
decreasing amount of Jedi on one side as well as some of the more stronger-
willed bureaucrats and a handful of brave star systems.with guess who? Bail
Organa and Mon Mothma at is head. On the other side, good old palpatine,
the trade federation and a Sith Apprentice as well as all the star systems
that Palpatine's army managed to force to cower in submission. All this
written from the point of 13 year old Kyra Skywalker.I hav an Original
story quite identical to this but decided to write a Star Wars version
since it started out as a SW fanfic.LoL)
Flashback 3 years before present
"Hey, Mom, I just received good news. The council's gonna allow me to take the Trials soon!" Luke announced as he came through the front door and into the apartment.
"And how is that good news Luke?" Padme answered, trying to conceal a smile at her son's excitement.
"Aww, come on Mom...I know you don't like me going off to war and all but a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do, and besides, this means I get a chance to break Dad's record of being the youngest Jedi Knight!" Luke exclaimed.
"Right hotshot we all know what an honour that is. Maybe they'll even give you a plaque with 'Youngest Jedi Knight' on it," Leia deadpanned.
"It's just like you to dash my hopes, sis", he said, clutching his chest theatrically.
Just then Vaiya bounced down the steps, "Luke what's wrong, ok wait, breathe, just breathe, Mom, call the ambulance! Quick! Luke's having a heart attack!"
"Haha, very funny Vaiya, that'll really look good on your application to med school: Mistakenly diagonised brother"
"Well, I don't think the Council will let you take the trials if you get a heart atack", Vaiya shot back.
"What you're gonna take the Trials so soon!" Tristan shouted in disbelief.
"Oh man....can't any of you guys be happy for me, just once!" Luke said, trying unsuccesfully to look hurt.
"I do. Congrats bro!" Kyra yelled as she ran down the stairs and flung herself into Luke's arms, nearly knocking him and Mom over in the process.
"Young Lady, how many times have I told you not to do that!" Padme thundered, showing once again why she had the reputaion of being a fearsome opponent in the Senate despite her dimunitive size.
"Gods, Ky I think you broke my ribs" her brother groaned and he stood up after pushing her off him.
Kyra just put on her kicked-puppy-dog face and looked at him sorrowfully, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
"Alright, alright you little imp, so I'm glad to see you, now what do you want?" he relented.
"Oh it's nothing", she shrugged and made to leave, before pausing. "Unless you would....no I don't think you'll be interested".
"Interested in what, squirt?"
"Nothing. Other than the fact that I have here a message, from a certain young lady with red hair. Not that you have time to read it. What with all those preparations you have for the Trials."
"M.J., you have a message from M.J.!" he cried out. "Give to me Kyra! Come on, you know how long I've waited for news of her!"
"Not until you catch me!" Keri shrieked as she took off.
Padme shook her head at the shrieks of "You can't catch me!" and laughed when Keri came running through the kitchen with Luke close on her heels. Keri started up the stairs this time and an exasperated Luke lunged out to grab at his sister, just as she tripped over one of Raye's toy trucks and tumbled down the stairs.
Padme would have screamed if it hadn't been for the fact that Keri's fall had been cushioned and she was now suspended in midair.
Anakin strode into the room purposefully and helped the girl down, his mouth thin with disapproval.
(Footnote: This is all I've written so far, completely unvetted, its jus a story idea. Remarks anyone? Also, i'm looking for a more experienced writer to collaborate with; anyone out there willing to give it a go? *puts on hopeful face* LoL .... ....press review now...quick!)
