I'm so TERRIBLY sorry for not updating sooner... I"ve been avoiding this last chapter for two reasons: one, I don't know if I should make the sequel just another chapter or make an entirely different story, two, I don't have that much of the next story written and would like to make the chapters longer, and three... I'm just sad that the first part is ending.
IMPORTANT NOTE, PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING. ON SECOND THOUGHT, READ THE ABOVE, TOO: Hey, if you guys would give me some feedback on what you would like the sequel to be called, that would be FANTASTIC! The first part will be called 'I Am Me:" and then something else, I haven't decided yet. Also, should I put the sequel onto this story and make it really long, or should I make a whole different story? Please give me feedback! Also, should I have Reviewers Torturing Sith lords in the sequel? I don't know, it's up to you reviewers!
phylitr: Hey, thanks so much for sticking with this story for so long, I really appreciate it. Great ideas for Torturing Sith lords. Elena will have more issues with Neimoidians later, I don't really know if she'll find out yet. THANKS!
Adame shmi Skywalker Vader: And you, too, thank you so much for reading and constantly reviewing my stories, it's what makes writing so much fun. You are not the only one who likes Jix, nearly every single reviewer of this chapter seems to love him. He'll be staying around for the sequels because he's so popular. I'm very pleased. Elena already knew that the Viceroy's cousin tried to kill her mom when she had the vision of the past. This Viceroy Gunray is the cousin of the one in the movies, he's not the same dude. Thank you!
Dark Lord Dashi: Thank you for reviewing again! Probably yes, but that will be in the sequel.
RavenRulzRF: He he he, yes, Jix is funny, I'm happy you like him, too! He's very well liked in this story... thanks for sticking with the story for so long!
ILUVZIM: I really don't know why Jix calls Vader Uncle Dee, it's just what he's called him in all the other stories I've read. So happy you like him, too! You got his character exactly right! I like muffins, too! Yum. Thank you for being such a wonderful reviewer! I'm going to start giving out 'The Best Reviewer' awards in the sequel.
Angel-Jessica-Skywalker: At first I didn't know who you were, but when I read your review I knew. Thank you for being such an awesome reviewer!
CS: Thank you! If you've reviewed before, I'm sorry if I don't recognize your penname. I get a lot of my normal reviewers who turn up as anonymous.
Beautiful Isle Jedi Chick: Thank you for reviewing again! I'm so glad you like Jixton... thanks to so many postive reviews on him, he'll be staying around for the sequels.
Celtic Cross: Thank you so much for reviewing! Yes, with the help of your positive feedback, Jix'll be staying around for quite some time. Probably throughout the rest of the story.
Remus Lupin's Angel: Ooh, I'll take the cookies! (snatches cookies) So happy you like Jix! Thanks for reviewing!
okanabe: YO! Jix is a character originally from 'Shadows of the Empire', the missing part between the battle on Bespin and Endor. It has lots of great characters, such as Jix, Prince Xizor, and others. If you want more info, go to Wookieepedia and search either 'shadows of the empire' or 'Jix'. Thanks for being such a faithful reviewer!
Amorcia: Why thank you!
Ms. Pippin Baggins: Thank you for reviewing again! Sure you can be put in! I'm glad you like Jix! So do I!
BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER: I would just like to take this moment to thank all of my wonderful reviewers. Your wonderful reviews have been a pleasure to read. It's what makes this story so fun to write. YOU ROCK! (slaps Palpatine who has muttered: Stupid reviewers. Wish they never existed.)
AND NOW... THE FINAL EPISODE FOR THIS STORY, BUT HOPEFULLY NOT THE LAST... REVIEWERS TORTURING SITH LORDS! (confetti and balloons proceed to drop from the sky randomly)
All right, where do we start? (glances at the daily chart in the Reviewer Temple) Ah, phylitr, you're up first! Rise and shine, reviewers! Busy day!
phylitr: Let's put itching powder in all of the Sith lord's, plus the prince's, robes! And then change their lightsaber color to pink...
Adame: I'm giving Xizor some lactives! he he he!
Raven: Oh dear, it looks like our Sith and prince friends have fallen asleep... Tela?
Tela: Ok, when I snap my fingers, you're going to waddle around like a duck. (snaps fingers)
Maul: QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!
Palps: (Still has the cold) What.. ACHOO! Has gotten... COUGH! into you?
Angel: (who is still chasing Dooku around) Ha ha ha! You die Siths! (giggles wondering if Vader will see what's happening)
Xizor: BAWK!
Dooku: (halts for a second to stare at him) Uh...
Isolder: Let's do the crazy frog! (proceeds to leap around the room)
Leia, Luke, and Han: TOO FUNNY! (they nearly pass out from laughing so hard)
Celt: WOO HOO! I just love torturing Sith Lords!
Everyone: YEAH!
Sith and princes: NO!
Everyone: SHUT THE HECK UP!
Zim: I oughtta slug you! (brings out lightsaber and Sith tremble in fear)
Celt: Hey, sith, you wanna play a game?
Sith: Not with you!
OH dear... I'm afraid Celt will have something terribly awesome in store for the Sith... and the other reviewers will, too! But let's get back to Elena, shall we? This is the last time we'll see her at the young age of fourteen!
THE. FINAL. CHAPTER. OF. THIS. STORY. ENJOY.
Disclaimer: Moi? Own this brilliance? Of course I own Elena! I just don't own the rest... which is insignificant to this story.. he he he!
That night, as Elena fell asleep, she found herself on Naboo again, and she ran outside, frantically searching for either Luke or her father.
"Elena!" Luke called, running towards her.
"Luke, wait!" Elena warned, "Have you met father here yet? I found him here about a couple weeks ago, and he said that he has been here before, that this is one of his regular visions!"
Luke shook his head. "I've never seen him here before, ever," he assured her.
"But then, how come he's seen me, but not you? How come when he's here, you're not, and when you're here, he is?" Elena asked, confused.
"Maybe it's the Force," Luke suggested.
Elena frowned. "Maybe... I don't know. How's it going with you and the family?"
Luke sighed shortly. "Boring," he retorted, sitting down. "I'll never get off that dustball of a planet, Uncle Owen wants to keep me at the homestead until I'm nineteen, but I want to go to the academy before that! I want to go to Coruscant... see new places, do new things... and I want to actually meet you in person." He stared pleadingly at her.
Elena nodded understandingly. "I know what you mean," she replied softly, "but I don't know when that's going to happen. I just got back from my first mission... and I nearly got blown to pieces."
Luke stared at her, shocked.
"You know, Luke," Elena went on, "You say you want get off Tatooine and see the galaxy... what it's like out here... but to tell you the truth, it's not what you think it is at all. It's a horrible, terrible, and cruel place. Coruscant is probably the worst. There's evil, lies, and deceit everywhere. You don't know who to trust, or who your real friends are. You're lucky you live out there." She looked at him.
Luke had a sad expression on his face. "I love you, sis," he said, and gave her a hug. "Someday, I'll come and find you. I promise."
Elena giggled. "But not if I find you first," she replied.
Luke stared at her. "Do you mean..."
"Watch for me," she continued, smiling at him.
He grinned. "Will do."
The next morning, Elena woke up, feeling better than she had in a long time. She strode downstairs, being sure to slide down the banister. Finding her father in a data room, she said brightly, "You know, you may be a Sith lord and second to the ruler of the galaxy."
Vader turned to look at her, confused.
"You may torture and kill people, have millions of stormtroopers and officers at your disposal... but that doesn't matter to me. Because you're my father. And I love you," she stated, staring him right in the lenses of his helmet.
For once in his life, Lord Darth Vader was at a loss for words. He didn't know how to respond. But something sparked in him, something that he hadn't felt in years. For a fleeting moment, he felt like his old self again. He felt like Anakin Skywalker. And behind his mask, a small smile crept across his scarred face.

Elena walked happily off to school and entered her classroom, whistling.
"What are you so happy about?" Mara asked, smiling at her.
"Ah well, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and I just got blown up," Elena replied nonchalantly.
Mara gaped at her. "Wha... are you kidding me, Elena?" She demanded, eyes flashing as she faced her friend.
Elena shook her head. "Nope, about a week ago I was blown up by the stupid Neimoidians. I kinda failed the mission, but Dad was just relieved that I was alive. It wasn't fun, let me tell you that right now."
Mara snorted. "I can imagine not," she replied. "I'm sorry you were hurt... you're all right now, though... right?"
"Yep, never better," Elena answered cheerfully, opening her textbook.
At that moment, Bece and Keira walked in, talking animatedly. "Hey, Elena, did you hear?" Bece said, quickly sitting down next to Elena, "There's this new boy in school, his name's Derek. Have you seen him yet? I hear he's supposed to be really nice."
Elena frowned thoughtfully. "I don't recall..." she began, but was interrupted by a ruckus in the hall. The door opened, and in strode in a friendly looking young man, who looked at the girls and came over.
"Hi there, I"m Derek Clivan," he said brightly.
"Elena Skywalker, welcome to the school," Elena answered, shaking his hand. "This are my friends Mara, Beyonce, and Keira. It's nice to meet you. Where are you from, Derek?"
Derek laughed for a second, leaving the girls a bit confused. "Oh, nobody calls me Derek," he chuckled, "I go by the name Hobbie. That's what the kids at my old school and everyone else used to call me."
Keira smirked. "Sure then, Hobbie," she spoke up, "So what do you like to do for fun?"
"Watch podracing," Hobbie answered. "But I doubt you guys would like that."
"On the contrary, it's one of our favorite things to do," Beyonce added, "Also we like to race speed bikes in Elena's indoor racing course, play different video games, and do other stuff that most girls don't like to do."
Hobbie was very surprised. "You have a racing course?" he asked, turning to Elena.
She nodded. "Yeah, my dad's.. kind of rich, I guess you could say." She glared at Mara, who snorted.
Hobbie narrowed his eyes. "Did I miss something?"
Mara snorted again. "Yeah, you did. Elena's father is Darth Vader. Hope you're not too intimidated now to talk to us."
"Whoa!" Hobbie shouted, "Your father's Darth Vader?"
The girls simultaneously nodded.
"What's he like?" Hobbie asked. "Is he really as tall as he is on the holo news? Does he really choke people with his mind? Is he nice to you?"
The girls looked at each other. "Here we go again!"
Oh, right now I'm going to be very mean and give you a teaser trailer for the sequel.
- - -
"NO!" Elena shrieked, "I WON'T LET YOU DIE! YOU WILL NOT DIE!" Sobbing, she hugged her dead friend tightly. "You can't..." she cried, "You just can't die..."

So sorry that this chapter was short... but I'm not sorry for keeping you on the edge of your seats for the sequel! Mwa ha ha ha...
Back to the Sith...
Celt: (puts hand to heart) Oh you wound me! (starts to tear up) YOU HURT MY FEELINGS!
Maul: YAY! We made the evil lady cry!
Celt: You IDOT! I was being sarcastic! Really, you would think that being a Sith, you would have at least SOME minor intelligence... now let's play a game.
Han: Sabbac?
phylitr and Adame: Shhh!
Dooku: But I thought we said we didn't want to play... (sees Celt blowing steam from the ears) I'm shutting up while I still have a chance.
Celt: (all reviewers rub hands evilly to here the plan) Good thinking! Ok, I tie you to the posts on the Geonosian area here, and we see how long it takes for you to get eaten by the creatures of everyone's choosing. Angel, Raven, and Zim will then come into the arena and do whatever they want.
Sith and Princes: (turn shades of white and sickly green)
Celt: Have fun! (giggles) Take it from here, creatures! Guys, have fun with the winner!
Angel, Ravnen, and Zim: Don't worry, we will!
Han: Darn it, I still want to play sabbac. (pouts, and Leia slaps him on the head)
Adame and Tela: Hey, we'll play with you! (Han grins)
Celt: (Walks into another room where Luke is sparring with phylitr) Hey Luke! (Luke bows to phylitr, who grins and leaves the room quietly, smirking)
Luke: Hey Celt, what's up?
The sky, man, the sky! (Luke gives me a sideways glance) Shutting up now.
Celt: (blushes suddenly) Uh... Iwaswonderingifyouwouldliketogooutwithme?...
Luke: What?
Celt: Would. You. Like. To. Go. Out. With. Yours truly.
Luke: Uh... (glances around quickly) ABSOLUTELY! (Celt shrieks and does a little victory dance)
Everyone else: HALLELUJAH!
Leia: that is, sniff, so sweet!
Isolder: As are you, my darling...
Everyone: SHUT! UP!
I think that ended on a rather happy note, don't you? Well, these last reviews count, people! Thank you, and please review!
