CHAPTER 2

Beach Girl

I ran like a panic crazed lunatic back the way I had come.

"Get back here! Stop this instant!" I heard that voice yell behind me.

Does she think I'm crazy?

I ran even faster. There was no way I was going to stop. If I did that crazy woman with the red lightsabers would probably chop my head off.

Here's something I realized when I saw Lightsaber Woman; This was no prank. This was real! How, I did not know? Maybe I was dreaming but I didn't want to chance it.

"Get away from me!" I yelled over my shoulder.

Wom! Wom!

A red blade whisked over my head. I shrieked and ducked. That was just a little too close.

I gotta get out of here!

I saw a door in the wall ahead of me to my left. I increased my speed and sprinted toward it.

When I reached it I grabbed for the door knob or crash bar. There was none!

"Damn!" I shouted, smashing my fist against the metal door. "Stupid piece of-"

I ducked just in time to avoid being slashed in two by that red lightsaber. "Eep!" I screamed, diving out of the way just in time to avoid another slash.

This one put a hole in the middle of the door. The fierce wind outside sucked out what was left of it. I half expected the vacuum of space would suck me out next but when I caught a glimpse out that gap where the door had been a minute before. The only thing I saw was a blue sky and water.

What the? I thought then had to jump out of the way to avoid that stupid blade again.

For some reason the door seemed to call me to. I know this sounds weird but it did, I swear. I realized that that was my only way out even if it meant killing myself in the process.

I'd rather drown than be cut in two.

Without a moment's hesitation I dived for that door and what was beyond it.

"Stop!" I heard the woman Sith yell.

Too late.

I flew out that open gap and into the air. The next thing I knew I was falling like a rock and I didn't have a parachute! When I hit the water below it splashed loudly in my ears then I went under.

I almost panicked as I fought my way to the surface. I needed to get back up there but it was hard for me. You see I can't swim.

After a few seconds it started to get harder and harder for me to hold my breath. I realized I was being weighed down by my backpack but I didn't want to lose it.

Finally I couldn't hold my breath any longer. As water entered my mouth and lungs I prayed to God that he would save me from dying.

Then everything went black.

Kit Fisto Nautolan Jedi from Coruscant was walking down the beach on the planet Viumde on a patrol during the Clone Wars when he noticed a strange red bundle of clothing farther up the beach. Half of it lay in the water and the other half lay on the sand.

What is that? he thought, walking up to it.

When he was closer he saw it was a body. A body in a red robe with strange creatures all over it. He also saw a black lumpy object under one of the body's arms.

What in the world? he thought, surprised at his find. Who is this and what is he doing here? (Why is it that whenever someone finds a person in the middle of nowhere they always assume it's a he?)

The Nautolan knelt down and put a hand on the person's back. Wet hair the color of a faded sunset sky(or just plain red take your pick) covered the face. The instant his hand rested on the back he could feel the Force in the person. It wasn't real strong but it wasn't weak either. It was just average.

Huh? A Jedi? A Jedi Padawan? How did he get here?

"Hello," he said, shaking the body. "Are you all right?"

The person moaned as he came to. Kit had to move back as the 'Padawan' pushed himself up and began to cough up water.

"Crap," the person said in a female voice. "Oh, crap!"

"Crap?" he said.

The 'Padawan' looked at him. He could see by the face that he'd made a mistake. This 'Padawan' was a girl. (Haha!) The instant she saw him she screamed. "ALIEN!"

The girl reached into that lumpy black object and pulled something out. Kit noticed it was a lightsaber handle.

She jumped to her feet. She threw that handle downward and a red blade came out.

A Sith

The 'Sith' raised the lightsaber over her head. "Take this!" she shouted, throwing it downward.

Kit didn't have time to pull out his own lightsaber. But it didn't matter. The instant the 'Sith's' lightsaber made contact with his head it bent. A plasticky sound echoed down the beach.

"What?" he gasped, gaping at the "blade". "That lightsaber was fake!"

"Yeah," the girl said. "I don't own a real lightsaber. They're not real."

"Yes, they are," the Nautolan said standing up. He pulled out his lightsaber and ignited it. "See?"

The girl pointed a finger at it as if to touch it. "Yeah right," she said. "It's plastic I can tell."

"Don't..." he began.

The instant the girl's finger touched the blade she screamed and began waving her hand up and down in pain. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"

"I told you," he said.

The girl kept on waving her hand. "Oh, shit!" she growled though clenched teeth.

"Hey!" he scolded.

She looked at him. "What?"

"Don't say that."

"You sound like my mom," she said, frowning and folding her arms.

"Your mom?" he asked. "Who are you?"

"Stephanie," she replied.

She was me!

"What planet are you from?"

"Why?" I demanded.

"I just want to know."

"Earth," I said. "What planet are you from if I may ask."

"I currently reside on Coruscant," he replied. "I'm Jedi Master Kit Fisto."

"Kit Fisto!" I exclaimed, my eyes getting big. "J-Jedi Master Kit Fisto!"

"Yes," he said, nodding.

I gasped. "Ohmigod!" I exclaimed, grasping my chest. "Ohmigod!"

"Um," he said, staring at me in concern. "Are you all right?"

I didn't answer. My eyes rolled back in my head and I fainted.

Kit leaned over me. (I had fallen back onto the sand). He saw I was still breathing.

That's a good thing, he thought. I think I'll take her back to the Temple. Maybe they can give me some information about Earth and its people. If they're as weird as she is...

He collected my stuff then picked me up. He headed back to his ship.

The next time I woke up I found myself staring into a red and white face. Oh crap! It's the Devil! I've gone to Hell after all.
I screamed and kicked it.

"Oof!" the 'Devil' exclaimed, as the wind was knocked out of him when my foot went into his stomach.

The 'Devil' fell over, holding his stomach and gasping for air.

I gaped. "Satan" turned out to be a woman with cream and gray striped horns on her head. It looked like really weird hair. I know of only one person who looks like that and she isn't even real.

"Oh my gosh!" I gasped, putting my hand over my mouth. "Shaak Ti!"

The woman looked up at me and I fainted once again.

"It was the strangest thing," a voice said awhile later, yet again rousing me. "I was walking down that beach and this girl was just lying there."

"Really?"

"Yes, she looked like she'd been washed up there. Half her body was in the water."

"Where did she come from?"

"She says she's from the planet Earth."

"Earth?"

"I've never heard of it either. Some say it's in the Milky Way galaxy even farther away from here than the Outer Rim."

"That's far. Way too far for someone like her. Do you think she might be a victim of amnesia or something?"

"I don't know. She sounded fine to me."

"And you felt the Force in her?"
"Yeah, imagine that."
"She doesn't look like any of our Padawans. You said by the way she acted she knew how to use a lightsaber? Do you think she might have been trained by one of the Masters but it wasn't recorded? I mean what if Yoda was her Master but never said anything.."

"I don't know... Maybe... and she didn't exactly know how to use it. She kind of just flailed around.."

What the heck?
I opened my eyes and looked around, thus ending that weird conversation. I saw Kit Fistio and Shaak Ti seated near the door to what looked like a hospital room. Then I realized I was in the hospital room.

"Ohmigod!" I exclaimed, sitting up. "Where am I?"

The two looked over at me. "Speaking of which," Kit said.

I stared at them. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. George Lucas' characters had come to life! I almost fainted again. Instead; I started screaming and didn't stop screaming until the red skinned woman came up to the bed and hugged me.

I calmed down a little. I wanted to faint but couldn't. I forced myself to look up.

All this time I had been thinking that maybe I was wrong and this was all a fake. Now that I actually felt what I thought was fake and saw the closeness of her's and Kit's faces I realized I had been wrong.

"It's okay," the woman, Shaak Ti said. "You're safe now. Nothing's going to happen to you."

"Ohmigod!" I exclaimed once again. "You are real!"

A/N

Yes, I am weird as I said before. Maybe I made everyone too nice but I can't be sure. Maybe maybe not. Hmm. Anyway, I hope you like it so far. It might be a little boring but I promise it will get better later. I just have to work on it a little. Yes as I said in the summary they're not exactly in character.
