Thanks to my wonderful Beta, I wouldn't have such a great story without you!
A few days later, Acadia had learned all about how to effectively use a vibroblade and shoot a blaster. Now, she was sitting on a bench in front of a huge Republic ship. It was called the Endar Spire, and she had been told that she would be escorting some Jedi. She loved the thought. She looked in the direction of the Docking Officer and saw a man, maybe late 30's or early 40's, talking to him. He had dark brown hair and a muscular build. He was quite attractive, but he looked like her superior officer, so she grounded the thought almost immediately.
She turned her attention to a woman with brown hair over in the corner. She was surrounded by bodyguards, all Jedi, and she herself carried a lightsaber. She looked very dignified and important.
She must be the Jedi we're escorting.
"Now boarding the Endar Spire. I repeat, now boarding the Endar Spire."
That was her queue. She picked up her pack and walked towards the loading ramp. The man she had been watching earlier handed the Docking Officer a datapad, most likely his boarding pass, and walked down the ramp. While she was handing the Officer her pass, she peeked at the other man's pass and saw that his name was Carth Onasi and he was 38. She also confirmed that he was indeed her Commander. Damn it…

After she had been walking around for what seemed like an hour, Acadia finally found her room. A man with graying hair was putting various outfits into a footlocker by his bed. When he heard the door open, he turned to face her.
"Oh, hello there. I'm Trask Ulgo." He extended a hand and she took it.
"Acadia Ritwani. I guess I'm your roommate, huh?"
"Yeah. Hey, you look familiar. Have we met anywhere?"
"Nope. Not that I know of. Maybe you just saw me in the Docking Bay."
"Yeah, I guess that's it." He looked around the room for a second and then looked her again in the eye. "I've got a shift in a few minutes, so I'm going to go ahead and head down there."
"I guess I'll see you around then." Soon he was out the door, leaving her to unpack her bag and get used to her surroundings. She found a footlocker by another bed in the room and put her clothes, a blaster, and a vibroblade inside for safekeeping. Just as she shut the footlocker, her stomach grumbled a little bit.
"Guess it's time for some food." The Endar Spire had successfully taken off and they had announced it was safe to move around 5 minutes ago, so she figured the cafeteria was probably open.

About 30 minutes later, Acadia was down one of the corridors. The only problem was she didn't know which one. She had gone through almost every door and down every hall, but still had not found the cafeteria. She felt like an idiot. As she continued walking, she found one more door at the end of the long hallway. Just as she went to open it, the door slid open to reveal the dignified woman Acadia had seen in the Docking Bay.
"Oh, my!" The woman jumped back in alarm and clutched her chest.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know you were behind the door." The woman took a moment to collect herself, then replied.
"Oh, no, it's alright. I'm Bastila. And you're Acadia Ritwani, are you not?" How does she know my name?
"Uh, yeah. How did you know my name?" Acadia raised an eyebrow.
"I'm a Jedi. I knew the moment I saw you who you were." So she is the Jedi. If she knew who I was, why didn't she know I was behind the door?
"Oh. Do you know where the cafeteria is?" She felt strange asking that, but without help she could be roaming the halls until dawn.
"Yes, it's the next door on the right." Bastila smiled sweetly.
"Thanks." Acadia returned the smile and went to get something to eat.

After eating, Acadia took her shift. When her shift ended, she went to her room to get some sleep. She didn't know how long she slept for, but she was soon awoken by the ship shaking violently. Acadia opened her eyes after she was practically thrown out of bed. She looked out the window to see another ship, a Sith vessel, trading fire with the Endar Spire. There were a series of shouts outside her door, blaster fire, and then someone began pounding on the door. Sith!
So what do ya think? Review please, I won't update until I get some.
