Erin stood in the middle of a large group of young jedi. No has spoken to her since she won against Master Windu. Well no one but Obi-Wan, no matter what he was always there for her. Erin tapped her foot nervously.

'When are they going to get this over with? I want to know which Master is going to pick me.'

'Nervous are we Erin?'

A voice came from behind her, it was Obi-Wan.

'Is it that obvious?'

'Well to someone who does not know you as well I, they would just think you were impatient.'

Erin then turned around looking at the Masters on the high platform above them, talking to one another. Erin knew that they were discussing who they are going to pick for their Padawans. Master Yoda looked down straight at Erin and looked in her eyes. He seemed to be somewhat sad, yet he was thinking about something very hard. Erin felt that something was wrong, she knew something was wrong. The look on Yoda's face gave it away, she was not going to be picked.

'Erin is there anything wrong?'

'No Obi-Wan, nothings wrong'

Through out the rest of the ceremonies Erin stood next to each one of her friend as they were called to join their Masters. She patted them on the backs, hugged and kissed them, her friends did the same to her. At last there was one Master left and two young jedi ready to be picked. Erin stood next to a very good friend of her's and waited knowing that her friend was going to be picked and Erin would be left all alone. Probably Maoine Erin's life long rival will laugh at her and all his friends would too. She couldn't bear to be laughed at by him, not again, not anymore, so Erin decided that after today she is going to go back to her home planet and live her life her way. Finally the name was called her friend jumped six feet in the air, did two back flips, then finally calmed down enough to say goodbye to Erin.

The ceremonies were over and Erin stood in the middle of the arena all alone. She could still smell the scent of blood and flesh in the air. Her mind kept going back to the fight with Master Windu. I know why they didn't pick me, because they think that I cheated against Windu, but I didn't.

'That is not why they picked you not'

Erin turned around finding Master Yoda standing there in front of her.

'Are you here to tell me that I have to leave?'

'Why leave would I say?'

'Because I'm twelve almost thirteen, I can't be a jedi any more'

'Told you who that you not have been picked?'

'None of the masters called my name'

'Assumed you did not get picked, hummm'

'Well yes I did'

'Well wrong you are Erin, very wrong, for picked you I have'

'What? You mean you picked me to be your Padawan. But you never take private apprentices'

'Only special ones do I pick. Erin special you are'

'How am I special?'

'Beat Windu you did'

'But he was going easy on me'

'No, easy he did not go on you Erin, hard he did. His hardest.'

So Master Yoda took up Erin as his apprentice and trained her very hard. That very day was the day her fate was decided.
