Disclaimer: I do NOT own Star Wars. It belongs to George Lucas-the old wise one! I'm just letting the characters run about a bit! They could use some air, you know!

Chapter Three: Thinking

The council was trying to figure out what to do with young Mikana while she was trying to use her astronomical senses as to what may have happened. She was thinking so fast that she started to yawn and felt like she was going to go to sleep. Sitting down, Mikana yawned so loudly that she soon felt twelve eyes on her. She opened her eyes and was trying to think.

"What are we going to do with her?" Depa Billaba asked. She had been sensing how fast Mikana's mind had been going and was slightly worried that she had exhausted herself rather quickly.

"Brought here, she was. Will of the Force, it was. Unclear, her purpose is. Find out in time, we will." Yoda said. Mikana sighed irritated. She couldn't remember the mathematical equation for a void.

"She'll stay here. If it was the will of the force, then the dark lord of a sith will be aware of it as well." Master Windu spoke. Mikana sighed. "But who will she stay with? Someone needs to keep an eye on her."

"With your permission, masters, I'll keep an eye on her." Obi-Wan said with certainty.

"Are you sure, Obi-Wan? She seems to be too smart for her own good." Windu said. Mikana finally had it.

"I can't stand it. Quit talking about me as if I was just a child. I'm an 18-year-old girl who just happens to be able to take care of herself. So don't treat me as if I was just a youngling." Mikana began to pant as Master Windu glared at her and she glared back, meeting his gaze and not backing down.

"You are out of line." Master Windu spoke sternly.

"You are disrespectful of another adult. Where I come from, it's considered very impolite to treat someone 18 or older, which is the legal age of majority, as if they're children." Mikana spoke sternly and that shut up Master Windu.

"Yes, I'm sure I can handle her. It's not like I don't have to deal with one even more rowdier." Obi-Wan smiled and laughed gently.
