IT'S CALLED GALACTIC WAR! aka !

ENJOY THE SUSPENSE!

And peace- such as the sea-gull knows through the bartering blue

Of ocean for the sallow grey of river anchorage

Eyeing imperturbably oil-slick, floating orange peal,

This is what I wish for you.

Bruce Dawe, excerpt from Free-will Offering

Chapter Four:

Remember That War That Those Political Problems Caused? Its About To Become Personal

Jaina ducked behind a wall as a tall man wandered past, dragging Jag with her. A strange sense of discomfort loitered around him and Jag looked after him thoughtfully. Jaina tugged him back out and set off down the road again. "What was that all about?" he asked her quietly.

"Bad guy," she whispered back, dodging a gaggle of teenage girls who started giggling and staring at Jag. She led him around a corner and her eyes lit up when she saw a blonde girl around their age sitting against the wall, a strange instrument in her hands and music coming from it. There was a hat in front of her, filled halfway with coins.

Jaina crouched down in front of the girl and she looked up, alarmed. Her face cleared suddenly and she shot to her feet, whipping the instrument into a case and grabbing the hat. "Come with me," she urged and Jaina grabbed his hand. They followed the girl and Jag sensed Jaina contact her brothers and sent a homing beacon out with the Force.

The girl stopped suddenly. "I've never sensed you before." The statement was blank. "Nor has anyone else like us, for that matter." So was that. "Straight to the point," Jaina approved. "Very good. Now, tell me. Have you ever used telepathy before?" The girl nodded. "Mind to mind messaging if that is what you mean by telepathy, yes." Jaina smiled slightly. "Yes, I believe that is the definition of telepathy." Her voice was tinged with amusement.

"What about telekinesis?" The girl shook her head. "Never." Jaina bit her lip thoughtfully for a moment. "Have you ever seen one of these before?" Her lightsaber was in her hand a moment later, ignited. The girl gaped at the sight. "In Star Wars movies, yeah," she said, dumbfounded. Jaina nodded in understanding. "Where those biker people knew the Jedi from." Jag studied the girl intently. Jaina's hand on his shoulder a moment later startled him and he jolted. Her slight grin made him smile too.

"What are your names?" the girl asked curiously. "Jaina and Jag," Jaina said lightly. "And the people about to come around the corner are Jacen and Tenel and Anakin and Jade." The girl raised a sceptical eyebrow. "My name's Jessica." Jaina gave her a curt nod and glanced at the corner. "Five, four, three, two and one," she said under her breath and when she said one Jacen and Anakin came sprinting around the corner, closely followed by Jade and Tenel.

"He cheated!" Jade protested when they reached them, pointing an accusing finger at Jacen. "He started running as soon as he got your message and didn't even wait for us to get it." Jacen affected an innocent expression and widened his eyes. "Who, me?" he said childishly. Tenel hit him on the shoulder. "Jacen, Anakin, Tenel, Jade," Jaina said to Jessica, gesturing at each of her fellow Jedi in turn. She spun around and gestured to Jessica. "This is Jessica."

Tenel smiled at Jessica sweetly. Jacen and Anakin flashed simultaneous Solo grins at the girl and Jade gave her a small smile. A group of teenage boys came running around the corner and skidded to a halt beside Jessica. "Who are you?" they demanded.

Jaina glanced at Jessica. The blonde girl nodded at the teenage boys. "They're all good," she said, her tone vaguely reassuring. A timid looking boy stepped out from behind the others. "You're more powerful than us." It was a statement. Not a question.

Jade dipped her head. "We're trained, whereas you are not." "You came here for a reason," one of the others said boldly. Tenel nodded. "We came to warn you that your world is in grave danger." She was solemn. "A type of witch, the Nightsisters, are coming to flood the northern part of this continent you call America."

One of them laughed. "What are they going to do?" they asked dryly. "Melt the polar icecaps?" Jag nodded his head. "That is exactly what they are going to do." They stopped laughing. "But they would destroy everything north of Mexico," the boy said disbelievingly.

Jaina turned her gaze on the boy and her dark eyes were so startling he looked away after a few seconds. There were only two people in the group of teenagers they'd found that could hold her stare for at least a minute. The girl, Jessica, and a boy with light brown hair.

"Please, we're intergalactic." Jacen's plea caught them unawares. "But…" Jessica's voice faltered. "Intergalactic?" "Yep!" Jade said brightly. "From Coruscant, Corellia, Yavin, Hapes, Dathomir… You name the planet, one of us is bound to have spent over a year there."

They looked positively frightened at the prospect. "So you're aliens," Jessica said, finding her voice. Jaina looked offended. "We are human." Her tone was one of distant annoyance. "We don't look like aliens, do we?"

"Uh," Jessica sounded sheepish. "Not really. No." "Well," Anakin looked thoughtful. "I can forgive you for mistaking Jacen for an alien, but I think the rest of us pass for human." Jaina sniggered and Jacen looked outraged.

Tenel put a calming hand on Jacen's shoulder and gave him a smile. "Calm down, dear," she said gently. "There's nothing wrong with aliens, you live with two of them 24/7, remember?" Anakin aimed a slap at her.

Jaina ignored them for the moment and smiled pleasantly at Jessica. "Please ignore them. Now, the Nightsisters are going to be here in a matter of weeks. Plans must be made and people must be convinced."

"Prove it," one of the boys challenged. "Prove you're not joshing us." Jaina spun around and eyed him disdainfully. "We have no need to prove ourselves to you," she said contemptuously. "Your necks are the ones on the line here, not ours."

Jag discreetly slipped his hand into Jaina's and looked around nervously, sensing something amiss. He squeezed lightly. "Jaina?" he whispered softly. She looked at him curiously. Jacen, sensing the same strange sensation, nudged Tenel Ka.

Anakin similarly nudged Jade further into the shadows. The six Jedi threw themselves into the corner where an entrance staircase met the brick wall, hiding themselves in the darkness and closed down in the Force. A tall, beautiful woman came around the corner a few moments later.

"Excuse me," she said sweetly to the gang of teenagers. Jessica forced a smile despite the darkness rolling off the woman in waves. "I was wondering if you had seen six teenagers, of similar ages to yourself," the woman said.

"I cannot seem to get a hold of the dears." The woman gave another smile. "Silly me, I forget their names but will know them if I hear them." Jessica shook her head firmly. "No, ma'am," she said. "We haven't seen anyone today."

The others followed her lead, nodding. The woman smiled, thanked them, and headed down the alleyway, turning at the other end. Once she disappeared from their senses completely, Jacen burst out from his hiding place, breathing heavily.

"That woman was one of these Nightsisters," Jessica said. Jaina nodded, scrambling to her feet and offering Jag a hand up. She brushed the dust off her jumpsuit. "Tamith Kai's sister." Tenel Ka sounded disgusted, as if the name was a vulgar curse.

"We'd better get out of these jumpsuits," Jade said. "We stand out like pink banthas." Jag chuckled at that. Jaina hit his arm. Jade looked confused. "Private joke," Jag offered, hiccupping. Jaina rolled her eyes.

Tenel nodded. "This is a fact." Jacen smirked. Jag looked confused. "Private joke," Jacen said, chuckling. Jag shook his head wearily. "If the Jedi on Yavin are at all like you, I think I might change my mind about starting training," he commented.

Anakin laughed. "Zekk might get on your nerves," he shot Jaina a look. "And not only because he's like Jacen. But the others are pretty sane." Jaina, Tenel and Jade snorted. "Sane?" Jag asked warily. "Definition of sane, please?" He closed his eyes in anticipation.

Jacen laughed. "I think you'd be better off waiting," Jaina said hurriedly. "We'll take you back to our base," Jessica said decidedly. "You can convince the others and then we'll decide what to do." Tenel and Jaina dipped their heads gratefully.

Well, the six Jedi succeeded in convincing the rest of Jessica's 'group', as she said. Jaina and Jacen set about contacting Luke and Mara and the other three ganged up on Jag, herding him somewhere so they could torture him with more 'help' with learning how to use the Force.

"I'd rather wait until Jaina and Jacen can help too," he protested vainly. "Nuh uh," Anakin said as he and the two girls encircled him. "Now close your eyes. All three of us are still and you know where we are. Try and focus on us. As soon as you sense a change, say whoever's name you sensed the change from, okay?"

"Okay." Jag nodded. He closed his eyes and tried to focus on the three presences around him. When he managed to expand his focus enough, nothing happened. He waited. For long moments, nothing happened. Suddenly, like a crack of lightening, he sensed something.

Jade, his senses offered. "Jade." He sounded calm. "Well done." That was Tenel's voice. For a few more moments, nothing happened. Next second, two cracks of lightening. "Anakin and Tenel," he said quickly. "No."

Anakin sounded slightly distant. "That was both of my hands. Keep focusing." Jag nodded slightly and tried to expand his focus a little more. Three cracks followed shortly. "All of you." He was positive. "Nice." Jade sounded approving.

Next, it was five. "Two of Tenel, two from Jade and one from Anakin," he said, the answers popping into his head. "Yes. Well done." Anakin sounded slightly closer this time. "You're doing well. Jaya will be pleased."

Jag struggled to keep the blush from rising on his cheeks and focused again. The silence was overbearing until one movement caught his attention. "Jade swapped places with Tenel," he said, opening one eye slowly to check. He was wrong.

Jade hadn't swapped places Tenel. She swapped with Anakin. "Almost." Tenel sounded encouraging. "Keep it up. You're getting much better." Four movements this time. "Anakin swapped with Tenel and Tenel swapped with Jade," he said. "Yup." Jade sounded happy.

"We're such good teachers," she said proudly. Anakin chuckled. "We're better than 'good'," he said cockily. "And Jaya will definitely be pleased." "Most, most definitely." Tenel sighed and tucked a stray lock of hair away from her face.

"Jay and I have been working on getting them to think less of themselves," she said, shaking her head. "Good luck with that," Jag muttered. "I think you'll need it. More than you thought, anyway." Tenel laughed.

"Hey!" Anakin said indignantly. "We are good teachers!"

Jag let out a fit of coughing that sounded suspiciously like. "What are you on? Idiot."

I shall be back with more soon!

My friend made me promise that I'd put a quote from Family Guy on here.

Are you sleeping?

No. I'm just suffocating this bug in my eye.

Thanks for the acceptance of my weirdness. As soggybread said "Go the freaks!"

Sorry the chap's so short, but hectic year so far.
