Story Break Two: Requesting the Unthinkable"No I will absolutely NOT!" screeched young Revan Kombi, a girl of fourteen years with long black hair, currently pulled back in a ponytail, and piercing green eyes. Along with this young Padawan were two other fourteen year olds, Malak Bilk and Sienna Vaas.
"Fine Rev, forget I brought it up," Sienna, a girl a bit shorter than Revan with slightly more tanned skin, though still very pale, with blonde hair down to her shoulders and deep blue eyes.
"Please do," Revan pretended to shudder. Malak was staying awfully quiet, his brown eyes avoiding both the girls surrounding him. I need some more guy friends, he thought to himself.
"Sorry for putting you through that Mal," Sienna shrugged. "I didn't expect Revan to explode like that for a simple dare."
The three young Padawans were walking through the halls of the jedi enclave, a rarity, as it was that they were all in the jedi enclave together. Masters had chosen all three some time ago, when they were still twelve. Just recently Revan had turned fourteen, and her master, Master Kae, had decided to give her a break from the intense missions they were usually assigned on. It turned out that Malak and his master, Master Hale, were stopping by for the day, and Sienna and her master, Master Vash, had to make a stop on Dantooine on their vessel towards their next mission.
"Well when it's an embarrassing and stupid dare like that you expect me to accept with gratefulness?" Revan exclaimed. They stopped walking for a moment while Revan mockingly began pretending she was in love with Malak. "Oh Malak! Of course I'll kiss you! Muah muah muah!" Malak was blushing crimson and Sienna was laughing.
Her blue eyes turned to Malak's avoiding brown ones. I think he likes her, Sienna thought to herself. Well, why else would he be blushing so hard? Sienna smirked to herself.
"Shush Revan," Malak finally told her after five minutes of her playfulness. Revan gave him a look and began laughing again.
"What do you really want a kiss?" she asked him, puckering her lips and feigning love for him again. "You never get tired of making yourself out to be a fool do you?" Sienna asked the black-haired Padawan. Revan shook her head, smiling broadly.
The three walked on in comfortable silence for a few minutes. Sienna felt the calmness of Dantooine wash over her as they walked. She had missed the quiet of the planet. Too many missions in too few years had made her jedi life extraordinarily busy.
"Remember the old crystal cave we found when we were ten?" Revan brought up. "Down near old Sandral's fancy estate?"
Malak chuckled. "Who couldn't? When Master Vrook found us that far from the enclave, when we were supposed to be in weapons training?"
"Well no wonder you can't handle that lightsaber even after four years Mal!" Revan giggled. "You were never good with that thing." Malak frowned.
"I've gotten better," he protested.
"Let's have some proof," Revan challenged, igniting her yellow blade. Malak pulled out his blue blade. Sienna sat down on a nearby bench while the two battled out their lightsaber techniques. Obviously Revan was better than Malak in the forms, but Malak had a bit more strength to back up his fighting. His reactions were better as was his footwork. He was a worthy opponent to Revan. Probably better than Sienna was, though the lightsaber wasn't the blonde's strength.
After ten minutes of battle, Revan finally backed off and deactivated her lightsaber. "You were right, you are better." Malak switched off his lightsaber. Both were panting slightly.
"Told you so," he said smirking. Sienna stood up.
"How about we keep on walking without some lightsaber duels this time?" she suggested. Her two best friends complied.
"Training under Master Hale is real tough work, the guy drills the jedi code in my mind every morning before any breakfast," Malak confided. "He's an honorable swordsman and a very strong jedi, but he's so hard on me."
Sienna could agree. "I like Master Vash and all, but she's one challenging master. She's not your average master, always asking me what I'd do and then telling me I'm wrong or right. I'm usually wrong." She rolled her eyes.
"Well Master Kae…" Revan cut herself off and shushed both her companions before they could question her.
Motioning towards the council chambers down the hallway, she smiled at Sienna and Malak before stealthily walking towards the training room, where the three knew from experience that you could hear every word from inside the council chambers.
"Block your force auras," Revan whispered. Sienna had an easy time covering hers, as Master Vash had taught her how to on their last mission against a Dark Jedi terrorizing a town on the planet of Kodai. Malak complied as well, but seemed to have a harder time. Apparently his master hadn't taught him how to and he had to rely on their attempts back when they were still apprentices at the enclave.
"…Why have you asked me to come here?" came the recognizable voice of Kreia Kae, Revan's master. "Your Revan and I have business to attend to. Business assigned to us from the high council on Coruscant."
"We have asked you to come here to request you switch Padawans with another master," came the voice of Master Vrook, a stodgy older man, and a strict master. Revan's eyes narrowed at his voice and comments.
"I will not bow to these outrageous wishes!" Kreia said in a slightly raised voice. "You consistently ask me to stop training young Revan, though she is consistently progressing and learning!"
"You are too reckless for such a reckless Padawan," came another master's voice, one none of the three listeners could identify.
"You expect me to turn her against the jedi?" Kreia laughed. "If that is her destiny you see before her, she would do it with or without my help. Revan is a fine young woman, and an even finer young jedi. By sending me away and giving her to a master like yourself Vrook she would turn faster than you could blink!"
"And it would be your doing!" Sienna recognized that voice as well, but it wasn't a master that was usually on Dantooine. It was Atris of the high council on Coruscant.
"Continue to blame me," Kreia declared. "But whatever you have seen for young Revan, is wrong. Because that is one fine Padawan I have been training for the past two years. And I will continue to train her until she is ready for the trails, which I know she will pass with flying colors, no matter what obstacles you throw in her way! Whether I am her master or not!" With that Kreia's footsteps could be heard as she left the chambers.
Revan grabbed Sienna and Malak and the two hurried out of the training room soundlessly, Revan fuming.
"I am not reckless!" she cried.
"Um… yes you are," Malak piped up. "But not in a bad way. You're just more adventurous and have a thirst for excitement."
"And that's not the 'jedi way'," Revan rolled her eyes. "I am reckless aren't I?" she said grinning.
Sienna could read that look any day. It meant Revan was about to do something spontaneous. As per usual. Then Revan leaned over to Malak and kissed him. Though Sienna wasn't surprised (it was obvious to her that Revan would do something like that) Malak was blushing slightly and quite bamboozled.
"Um… right," he said uncertainly. "Let's keep walking shall we?"
Revan laughed at his confusion, but Sienna was a bit deeper in thought. Aha! I was right! He likes her! But wait… we're all jedi. And jedi are forbidden to love. And to me it looks sort of like Revan doesn't see him the way he sees her…
Sienna didn't need to be a jedi to see that trouble was ahead for those emotions.

Okay, well, here it is, the second story break. I had one that took place at the trials, just as some major news is delivered lined up for this story break, but it seemed like a huge jump from nine to twenty, so I threw this in, as they are fourteen. I wasn't sure who to give Sienna as a master, so I gave her Master Vash since I know she existed, as we don't know much about her. Heh. And Master Hale I just made up. Anyways, there it is. Next up is chapter twelve where we get to go to none other than Kashyyyk! Yay! Now commenting on the reviews…
Phantom Menace – Thankies! X)
Shadows Run – I very much agree. How many Mandalorians are just standing around, waiting for jedi to come? Well, besides the stupid ones… Anyways, so what is your email address? Well, actually, just email me. Check me profile page for it.
Lunatic Pandora1 – Heehee… unfortunately I'm not as big a fan of HK as everybody else seems to be, but don't worry, I'll spend plenty of time having fun with HK once we're on Tatooine. XD
Trillian4210 – Thanks, I'm glad you are liking the story! I got a few complaints in the past for short chapters. Long ones take longer to get out, but feel more rewarding once they are.
Greatstar – I didn't do it graphically when Mission broke her wrist, but when Juhani slammed her back into the cliff wall, Mission's wrist actually was the first thing that hit the wall, followed by her head hitting the wrist. I thought if her head had hit the wall she'd have probably died. Thank goodness for wrists!
Nath – Thanks for the review! I'm trying to get some romance into the story, but it's more of an action and adventure fic really. Don't worry, stick around and in the sequel hopefully we'll see more romance abound. ;)
Resident roach code metallica – I will hurry:) Hope this suffices for now!
Rachil Fayrchild - -Attempts to think of good romance to throw into Kashyyk- It seems like everybody here is a Carthaholic! XD
Thanks everyone for the reviews! I should get the next chapter up in a week or so, but no guarantees. It's hard for me to keep promises once I make them, so I just don't! Anyways, thanks again, I'm glad everybody seems to like this! It's so much fun to write. Adios folks, and by the way, any suggestions, feel free to ask! Until next time, review, wish it were cooler (its 90 degrees outside! And I live in New York!), and have a good start of the summer!
