Chapter 8: A Good Lie

Sonic and team come out of hyperspace above a busy Courascant. Sonic and Siejuii in their starfighters with the clones and Angel following, in her sith speeder. As they enter the atmosphere, they pass over the busy skyways and buildings heading to the republic docking station. In her speeder, Angel was going over her situation. Having shown herself to the jedi, minus the fact she's a sith, she is now stuck with them. Her plan was to act as a runaway padawan and when Sonic's defenses were down, she'd strike.

When they land on the huge floating platform, Siejuii waves goodbye to Sonic having to report to Palpatine. Sonic takes Angel to an air taxi and has the driver go to the Jedi Temple. Angel had her black hood up concealing her face, and had her black cloak wrapped around her body staying hunched over. Being this close to a Jedi had her on the edge and had her repeatedly going for her saber stopping herself. She sat in the taxi not saying a word as Sonic would sometimes turn to her wondering if she was alright.

Half way there, Sonic decided to break the ice "So, your name's Angel right?"

She only nodded, not looking at him.

"Cute name...for a cute girl." He chuckled to himself sightly and had her jump a bit looking at him in surprise.

"Excuse me?"

He waved his hand in dismiss "Nothing. So what's your story?"

She thought for a minute and could only come up with "It'll wait till I tell the council."

He shrugs "Ok." She drew a sigh of relief and used the rest of the ride to come up with a good story about herself. Sometimes her eyes would drift over to him for a minute then immediately dart back. She kept getting that same feeling she did on the roof when she hesitated.

When they arrived at the temple, Sonic was already in the door when he looked back to see a hesitated Angel standing outside. "You can come in, you know."

She looked up still keeping her face hidden "I'll be right there..." She was so nervous she was starting to sweat.

Sonic watched her as she took a deep breath, trying to control her presence around the Jedi, and slowly walked in looking like she expected about 50 of them to jump her. He shook his head holding in the laughter and walked her to the elevator to the council. She was amazed at the Jedi stupidity of her being in the temple as a Sith. When they entered the council room, she still kept herself hidden under hood and cloak and let Sonic do the talking.

Sonic bowed followed by Angel bowing crookedly "Master Yoda, this is Angel Annalee. We found her at Bespin but we don't know who her master is."

Yoda and the others looked her over not having the sightliest idea who she was. She drew herself further into her robe as the many Jedi eyes looked her up and down.

Yoda asked first "Young padawan, who is your master?"

She took a breath and looked up finally showing her face but kept her hood up "I never had a master. My mother had a sister in the order and she taught everything I know without the councils permission."

They all nodded "Her name?"

"It was so long ago. I may appear young, master, but I'm really over 120." She lowered her head again feeling she said enough.

Yoda and the others thought for a minute. "Clouded your story is, but now that you're here, no reason I see not to continue your training."

Sonic decided to head out when Yoda stopped him "Master Sonic, since you found her, her master you will be."

He turned with a small surprised look but bowed "Yes master." He waved for Angel to follow him and she hurried out relieved as she was getting worried she would lose control and be spotted by every Jedi there.

Yoda shook his head when the door closed "Much fear I sensed in her. Her mind was blocked, and clouded." The other members nodded in agreement.

Sonic and Angel stood outside the temple waiting for an air taxi to arrive. Angel once again had her hood up concealing her face and her robe wrapped completely around her.

She looked up after 5 minutes of waiting. She talked in a soft whisper "Where are we going...master?" Calling Sonic her master made her cringe so badly she was glad he didn't see.

"No where special. Just Dax's Diner. I figured you'd be hungry." He turned smiling to her and she hunched down hiding her face more.

An air taxi finally arrived and Angel sat on the completely other side of it keeping as much space between her and the Jedi as possible. If she only had something with her other than her lightsaber, she could end this now and report back to her real master. She kept her gaze outside the taxi as the buildings and speeders sped by. Republic cruisers would come and go every minute and the platforms were filled with clone troopers going though their drills. Having never been around Courascant a lot, Angel took in every piece of scenery she could get. After a 10 minute flight though the busy city, they set down next to a small diner near the public transport hangers.

Sonic was at the door with Angel slowly coming up behind him. When Sonic opened the door, the four armed alien known as Dax spotted him. "Sonic! How you been?"

Sonic smiled seeing his friend "Doing fine Dax. I'm here with my new padawan," turns to Angel who was trying to hide herself in her robe "Angel Annalee."

"Nice to meet you. Take a seat and I'll have a droid come right to you." He went back to the kitchen to fill his orders.

Sonic lead Angel to a booth in the back corner. "Dax is a friendly guy isn't he?"

She looked up not really paying attention and just nodded. When the droid came over, Sonic ordered himself a cup of Jara Juice and Angel, after figuring she might as well eat something, ordered a plate of Noobian squid.

When the food arrived, she finally let down her hood letting her long,black hair flow out.

As he went to take a drink he looked her over "Nice to see there's actually a face on you." He chuckled taking a drink.

She turned her eyes from him, narrowing them. She practically took it as an insult. After collecting her thoughts and control, she went on eating in silence.

Author's Notes: I promised good and I delivered. Sonic is multiply "flirting" with her, and she's just disgusted being near him especially calling him master. Keep up the reviews and see you with chapter 9.
