A/N: I had forgotten to put the disclaimer on the first chapter, obviously I don't own any original Star Wars characters, but I do own Maya.

Master Gallia took Maya to what she thought to be a really big building with really, really tall towers. These made the Empire State Building look puny. "This place is what I've been sensing! Master Gallia this place—"

"Yes, I know. This is the Jedi Temple. I hope you find it interesting. Meet me back at the entrance in about ten minutes, and feel free to take a look ar—" But Maya had already taken off running. Master Gallia yelled after her, "If anybody asks, tell them I gave you permission to come! Well, time for me to report this to the Council. I wonder what they'll think of it?"

"This place is amazing!" Maya thought as she opened the door. "I've never seen anything like it!" There were people and aliens in those same brown robes everywhere she looked. "I bet it's their uniform." Some were staring at her, wondering why she was there, so Maya decided to lay low. She didn't have time to see everything, and some rooms had nothing in them except buttons. Maya was tempted, but restrained herself. "The last thing I need is to mess something up." Maya was able to find the library, but there were only some books and the rest were these little rectangular things with buttons! "Uh oh, more buttons. Better stick with the books." She took a book from its shelf and opened is. "Hey! This is in another alphabet! I can't read it!" She decided to ask the librarian. "Excuse me, but is all your books in this alphabet?"

"Yes, that is the universal alphabet of the galaxy. Why do you ask?"

"I can't read it! Where I come from, we have a different alphabet!"

"Where do you come from, and who might you be anyway?"

Oh, I'm Maya. Maya Lavelle. And my memory was wiped, but I think I come from a place called Tennessee."

"Tennessee? I've never heard of it."

"Yea, I know I'm from nowhere near here."

Meanwhile, Master Gallia was explaining Maya's predicament to the Jedi Council. "She has a fiery spirit and strong willpower. Really, you ought to meet her. And she really should be trained."

"Bring her here immediately, you must." Yoda ordered.

"Yes, Master, but I'm warning you, Maya has a very unique personality and an… interesting vocabulary. I think she is from a very distant land, she can't remember her home planet."

Back at the front entrance, Maya had strangely been feeling nervous. "What is there to be nervous about?" She finally saw the Jedi Master come running. "Maya, The Jedi Council wishes to meet you, come."

"The Jedi have a Council?"

"Yes, and I happen to be on it. It is a Council of Masters very strong in the Force."

"So other people can do those light balls, too?"

"That's just it, Maya, no one in the entire history of the Jedi has ever been able to produce light."

"Whoa. So I'm like, the only one who can do it? Why?"

"Good question. That's exactly why you're here." They finally reached the top of the tower, and they walked into a circular room. "Here she is."

A bunch of Jedi were staring at her. "Uh, hi?"

"Hello Maya. I am Master Mace Windu, and we've heard that you have an unusual ability, and we were thinking about training you to be a Jedi."

"A Jedi? Me? Sounds cool! Do y'all want me to try and do the light thing again?"

"Please. She looks quite nervous, is she that scared about this?"

Maya had thought about how to make the light again; she knew it had something to do with this Force she kept sensing. She felt the Force with her hands, and began to shape it with tender care. As Maya made a rounded motion, she began to see a small light. It got bigger, and Maya realized she had just created a ball of soft light out of thin air. "Wow! I didn't think I'd be able to do it again! How's that fer light?"

"That's astonishing! Where are you from, Maya?"

"I think I'm from Tennessee. Oh, why am I so nervous? I fell like I'm feeling the feelings of someone else! But…. that can't be right…"

"Heard of a place called Tennessee in all my years, I have not." Yoda saw a bead of sweat run down Maya's cheek.

"Well, I know it exists, cuz that's where I'm from."

"Scared and nervous you seem, but a reason, I cannot find."

"Me neither! Seriously, I shouldn't be nervous about anything! But… oh no… c'mon…" Maya was kneading her hands, a nervous habit she could never break.

"Extraordinary. But why?" Some of the Council were baffled.

"Almost… YES!" Maya dropped to her knees in relief. "Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesssss! Phew!"

"What the heck?" Maya suddenly realized what had just happened and had a funny look on her face.

"Once again, I have no idea what happened! One second I was nervous, and then I felt like, Wahoo we're all saved. You may think I'm crazy, but I think I was feeling someone else's emotions!"

"What you were feeling was a bond between you and someone else via the Force. This is not uncommon among Jedi, especially a master and an apprentice. But you are neither one of those, so how you have a bond is unexplainable! We promise to try and figure it out, Maya, you just get a good night's sleep."

"Really? Thanks!" Master Gallia took Maya to one of the unused apartments.

"Good night. See you in the morning."

At the very moment that Maya had yelled "yes", at the very second she had felt so relieved, Anakin Skywalker had won the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace.
