Here's another chapter. Hopefully, you guys will like. is driving me nuts because they won't come through on any computer I use. It seems to always be down, so updates are taking forever. I'm keeping up the work, so keep up the reviews, ok?
Yoda sat in his chair while Vera slept on the couch that surrounded the chair that surrounded it in the tiny transport pod that had been made for him. They would not arrive for a few hours yet and were still in the middle of the galaxy. They would soon be in Naboo.
At the Jedi Temple, a few hours later…
Anakin Skywalker slid out from under the shiny new platinum ship. "You have an oil leak in the main oil valve. You need a new one."
"Well, thank-you for clearing that up, Anakin, but can it be repaired?" Obi-Wan Kenobi looked over the oil splattered floor. Master Yoda was not going to be happy.
"I really don't think so. You will have to get a new one when Master Yoda gets in with the new Jedi."
"I heard that she will be training here in the temple. She already learned to use the force and all she has to do is learn how to use light saber and she is as good as a master. But Master Yoda feels that it would be wise to keep her here for a few years yet so she can receive the full experience."
"How old is she?" Anakin was eager to know more about this new Jedi that had learned to harness her power before she came to be trained.
"Twelve. Only a little younger than you. She's humanoid, hard to believe."
"Humanoid? How did they manage that? Humanoids are almost extinct."
"Well, she's special, according to Master Yoda. A rare find to have a humanoid with powers, especially on this side of the universe."
"Will I get to met her?"
"But of course. She arrives today and we all must make her feel welcome. But first, clean yourself up and clean up this floor. Master Yoda is not going to be happy with a greasy floor."
Anakin mock saluted, and turned to clean the floor. Obi Wan moved out the sliding electronic doors and into the hall. Anakin threw the rag on to the shiny ship. He knew this was going to be interesting.
"Jedi Masters and Apprentices! Please report to Cargo Bay 7! Please report to Cargo Bay 7! Jedi Masters and Apprentices!" The intercom sounded in the empty rooms and halls.
Anakin moved quickly out of the repair bay and walked-quickly down the halls to the Cargo Bay 7. He moved quickly through the zigzagging halls and up the winding stairs. Soon he made it to the sliding stairs and entered.
Obi-Wan and many of the other masters were waiting in the bay, along with the one apprentice other than Anakin, who was soon to be a master anyway. Anakin took his place beside Obi-Wan, and glanced over at the steel doors.
The doors opened as Yoda entered through the door with a girl t railing behind him. She was human, no doubt. She had long flowing black hair, some was tied in a braid in the middle of the back of her head and the rest flowed down her shoulders. Her blue eyes sparkled in the bright light of the ceiling lights. Her pale skin seemed paler in the bright light, but it did not make her less to look at. She stared off in to space, or so it seemed, but when Anakin's eyes met hers, his heart seemed to stop for a moment.
Vera's POV
Vera glanced around, trying to see how many other types of beings there were. Most of them, she had never seen before. But one person sparked her interest, a boy, not much older than her. He had a human form, but human he was not. He had short blond hair, and hazel-brown eyes, that seemed like the color of thick caramel or honey. He seemed to be staring her, not blinking, or breathing as it seemed.
"Vera, time to meet your master, it is. He will train you, he will." Yoda called to her telepathically. Vera looked at Yoda, surprised. Yoda simply nodded in response. She moved quickly to Yoda's side as he introduced her to another Jedi Master. The dark-skinned Jedi Master was introduced as Mace Windu, or to her Master Windu.
Vera gave a slight bow, and left Yoda to follow her Master and Teacher to where she would be staying. She looked back at Yoda, who was, at the moment, surrounded by younglings and other Jedi hoping to give or get information. Vera walked quickly behind her master as she followed him to a set of sliding doors of steel. He pressed the button outside the door on the right, opening the doors. Both entered into the tiny room. It basically consisted of a bed, a desk, a chair and a screen on the wall, which really was a computer, as she had found out.
"We will begin training tomorrow. You will learn all the basics and what you need to know. You will be remaining here unless you are on errand or by command. You are to work hard and give dedication. You are also to lend a hand to the younglings to help them train. I believe you know most of the Jedi ordinances, am I correct?"
"Yes, Master."
"Well then, Vera, you are now an apprentice. Go and take a look at your new surroundings. Meet other Jedi, try to get along with them."
"Yes, Master."
Mace Windu left the room, closing the door behind him. Vera flopped on to the small bed. Even though she had slept most of the trip here, she felt exhausted. It was mostly because of the time change from her planet to Naboo. But she knew she would be awake until she could see a bit more of this place.
She slowly sat up and trudged out of the room. She wandered down the hall and kept going until she reached the elevator. She pressed the button for it. A few seconds later, the elevator came. She was going to see this place, even if it took all day.
Anakin's POV
Anakin watched from the corner of his eye, the new Jedi making her way from the elevator and into the fourth floor. She was definitely interesting enough. He had to talk to her. He followed her, keeping out of her sight and stayed far enough behind her that she would not know he was there.
She turned corners and down stair ways. Anakin followed her there. She turned one corner, then she disappeared. Anakin looked in all directions, but she could not be found. He scratched his head in confusion. Where could she have gone to? Suddenly, something attacked him from above.
Vera's POV
Vera jumped on the teenage Jedi's back. He fell to the ground, and she went with him.. She sat on his back. "Ah-ha! I knew someone was following me. I may not have the full training of a Jedi, but I can tell when I'm being followed."
"Could you get off?" he demanded.
"Depends. What are doing by following me and who are you?"
"I just wanted to talk. You're the only Jedi Apprentice around here who is close to my age. The name is Anakin Skywalker and I apologize for following you."
Vera shifted to the floor next to Anakin. She extended her hand and pulled him up into a sitting position. "Vera, only Vera. So what is there to do around a place like this?"
"You really want to know?"
"Yes."
"All right. I'll show you. Tonight. But you have to promise to say nothing to the Masters."
"Promise."
"Wait until the suns have set and I will come to get you, all right?"
"Sounds like fun."
Ok, I'm back from camp. Life is going well. I meet a bunch of cool people and made a lot of friends. Sorry, ladies, no boyfriends still. My Internet is now up at my house so updates will take less time, but if it keeps raining like this, I won't ever get to update. I'll keep up the updates if you keep reading. Also, for this story, I have vision up the butt, so just go with what happens. I have everything pretty much up to the very last chapter. I know who Vera falls for, kisses, what the POTC characters do, what importance they have and what happens with Vera and Anakin. Anyone want to guess? Ok, I have said too much.
Also, I have a new family edition that just arrived today. He sleeps over my bed, drinking his rum, and watching my dog. He talks whenever someone acknowledges him and still has his compass that doesn't point north, his now-empty pistol and his lovely hand- crafted sword. Sorry, peoples. Jack is being held captive in my house. I just got him today for they very low price of forty dollars. The people were happy to hand him over to me for safe keeping. Everyone is welcome to try to kidnap him from my grasp.
Luv you guys,
Ella
