Earth Bound Chapter 3. The Conference was called. Connor stays at the palace as a royal guest. Thank you all for the reviews. They a much appreciated. I'm trying to update as soon as I can.

Everyone gather around the conference room. The Queen passes by the room and looks through a window that views the people in the room. Connor stands next to her.

"Which one of my servants is my betrayer?" ask the Queen. Connor looks into the conference room and sees the one who is betraying the Queen. He points at him and the Queen tells her guards to escort the traitor to the dungeon.

Inside the conference room the people are in shock as the guards take Warren, the royal scientists assistant, out of the room. The Queen then enters the conference room with Connor behind her.

"Your highness," calls Wesley standing up. "What's going on here?"

"Warren was an intruder," says the Queen. "He was giving information to our enemies and Connor here caught him in the act."

"Its was nothing," replies Connor.

"If I would of known…" says Wesley. "I'm sorry your highness."

"There is no need for apology. You didn't betray me."

"Yes, but I feel it was my responsibility to know. In this event I do need an new assistant."

"It will be done." Tara enters the room with a shy, dark haired girl in a white coat.

"Winifred here will be the perfect assistant," suggest Tara pushing her in. Wesley looks at the young girl who had her head down. He walks over to her and lifts her chin up. Winifred smiles at Wesley.

"She'll do," replies Wesley still looking at Winifred.

"Good," says the Queen. "That is all." The people left the conference room. Then the Queen and Connor walk down the hall way.

"You were pretty incredible in there," says Connor.

"Thank you," replies the Queen as she blushes. "Thanks to you we might have some information about our enemies."

"Anyone would of done the same thing if they saw him," says Connor.

"Is there anything that I can do for you?"

"No, there's no need."

"Please accept my invitation to stay at the palace for tonight."

"I need to get back home. My parents are probably worried."

"I'll send someone to tell them that you are alright."

"I really appreciated, but I don't need anything from you. I didn't do this to get reward."

"Please." The Queen has her ways in convincing people. Connor looks at the Queen.

"Well, if it pleases you then I'll stay."

"My servants will set a guest room for you."

Later on Connor goes and explores the palace. Connor passes by the training room and takes a look inside. He then meets up with the youngest member of the Jedi.

"Who are you?" ask Spike when he sees Connor.

"Connor," replies Connor.

"You new?"

"No, not exactly."

"I thought I was suppose to be the youngest Jedi." Spike says to Angel as he comes out of the training room.

"Spike," says Angel as he turns to face Connor. "You interested?"

"Uh, me," says Connor realizing that Angel is talking to him. "I don't know. I've never been athletic."
"You can learn," says Angel putting his arm around his shoulder. Angel grabs a sword and hands it to Connor. Spike helps him learn how to hold the sword.

In a couple of hours Connor had the skills of using a sword down and is fighting Spike pretty well. Angel is impress and decides to move on to another weapon. Then Giles enters the training room.

"Angel," calls Giles. Angel tells Spike to pick another weapon from the wall for Connor to learn to use. Angel then walks over to Giles.

"What are you doing?" ask Giles.

"Showing him a couple things," replies Angel.

"Why?"

"I want to take him under my wing."

"You have William to train."
"He's skilled enough."

"Angel…You can't. We don't know too much about him."

"He's the one that Tara said would help us. What's the big deal of training him as a Jedi Knight. He's very skillful."

"I don't trust him. I have a bad feeling about him."

"That's cause you don't like him being with Dawn."

"That's not true." Angel gives him a look. "Okay is partly true. She needs to be protected from any threat."

"He's not a threat."

"How do you know that?"

"Cause Tara would of said something and I have a good feeling about him." Connor walks over to Giles and Angel.

"Thanks for the training," says Connor.

"We regularly train everyday at nine if your interested." Giles looks at Angel.

"Sure," replies Connor. "I'll see you then." Connor heads out of the training room and Giles watches him walk down the hall way.

Connor meets up with Dawn as she exit's the Queen's room.

"Hey," says Connor. Dawn jumps.

"Oh, hi. You surprised me," says Dawn smiling at him.

"You were right about the Queen. She's real nice."

"That's good."

"And she's letting me stay here."

"Really."

"I also ran into the Jedi training room and they ask me to come by tomorrow."

"Impressive."

"I don't mean to pry but what do you do here?"

"I'm the Queen's assistant. I help her with a lot of her stuff."

"Sound like a real important job."

"I deal."

"It's pretty late."

"Right. Is this your room?" Dawn points at the guest room next to the stairs.

"I think so. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Of course." Dawn nods her head and begins to walk away.

"Dawn." She turns around.

"What?" Dawn turns around.

"Goodnight." Connor smiles as he enters his room.

Dawn walks back to her room and notices that someone is walking behind her. She stops and folds her arms.

"What do you want Giles?"

"What are you doing?" ask Giles in a serious tone. She turns around and looks at him angrily.

"What are you getting at Giles?"

"He should not be staying here."

"He's the one that's going to help us. You wanted to find him and now you have him and you want to get rid of him."

"I have a bad feeling about him."

"You seem to be the only one. Angel thinks he's skillful. He can be a great Jedi if you give him a chance. What better person to train him then you."

Connor stays at the palace for longer than a day and is trained well. Angel convinces Giles to allow him to join the Jedi Knights. The Queen approves and Connor is taken to his home to ask the permission of his parents.

Dawn and Connor have also been spending time together and very close friends.

Connor's parents are then invited to the palace and presented to the Queen.

"You're son is incredibly gifted," says the Queen. "As you may know that our world is struggling to fight a force and we need as many courageous warriors to fight them off."

"We understand your highness," says Connor's father. "We've been proud of our son's achievements throughout his life, but why Connor."

"As the Queen has said, he can be of great use to us for the battle ahead."

"It's very important that he joins," says Tara.

"I'm not sure," says his mother. "He so young."

"Mom, I think I can do this. I want do this," says Connor as he glances at the Queen.

Suddenly they all hear a disturbance outside. Everyone turn their heads toward the door, which smashes open. Giles pulls the Queen away
