Disclaimers 'n' crap: Haihai peeps! Well, now that I'm done with The Last of the Cliffhangers Unit, not only can I focus more attention on Raikov's Story, but I can also start a new long-running fic! And this one is STAR WARS BASED! YAAAAAAAAY! Believe it or not, I came up with the idea for this fic in the middle of Math class. Well, actually the title has a number in it so maybe it's not that surprising…anyhoo, so far, I only own Nightshot. Enjoy!

Anakin Skywalker strode proudly down the hall of the Jedi Archives. He occasionally fingered the small stub of charred hair behind his right ear where his Padawan braid had once been. He didn't need it anymore. Why? Because, as of a few hours ago, he had become a Jedi Knight. He wasn't a student anymore, he was official. One of the elite. A small, black, dog-like creature with a check-mark-shaped scar across his left eye walked next to him. You couldn't tell from just looking, but he was Anakin's brother. Nightshot S. Skywalker obviously had a very strange song stuck in his head because he was walking with a rhythmic bounce in his step.

"Dudu…dudu…dududu duduuuuu…" he repeatedly muttered to the song.

"Nightshot," said Anakin, sharply, the smile leaving his face "Quit it."

"I can't help it," said Nightshot "I'm too happy! C'mon! Aren't you happy? You're a freakin' Jedi Knight!"

"Nightshot," said Anakin "I never said I wasn't happy. I'm thrilled!"

"Soooooo," said Nightshot "Why are we at the Archives, then?"

"Just to look some stuff up," said Anakin, seating himself at a computer. Nightshot jumped up on the table next to the keypad.

"Y'know?" he said "I bet, now that you're a Knight, you can access more classified information." Anakin raised an eyebrow.

"Nightshot," he said "There's no 'classified' information at the Jedi Archives. All data is open to everyone!"

"Wanna bet?" said Nightshot. To Anakin's surprise, Nightshot jumped forward and started rapidly typing something into the computer.

"Nightshot," said Anakin "What are you doing?"

"Looking for classified stuff," said Nightshot, casually. Anakin was partly in shock.

"Nightshot, you can't do that!" he hissed "I just got promoted to a Knight! You want me to get in trouble?"

"And this is coming from the same guy who jumped from hundreds of feet above Coruscant onto a moving speeder," said Nightshot, still typing furiously. Anakin rolled his eyes.

"C'mon, lil' bro," he hissed "Quit it!" Nightshot ignored him.

"Hey, look!" he said, suddenly "I found something!" Anakin looked up. "Hmm…" said Nightshot "Enter password…"

"Nightshot, no!" Anakin begged. Nightshot typed something in.

"…Knights…of…the…Old…Repub…lic…" he said while typing.

Access Granted: Welcome Back, Master Shenn Ryo

"Master Shenn Ryo?" said Anakin, thinking out loud "I think I've heard of him. Supposedly he was one of the first official Knights of the Republic."

"Wow!" said Nightshot "Look at this!" The screen showed an old Republic document. As the brothers read through it, their eyes grew wider.

"This must've been written at the birth of the Republic!" said Anakin in awe "Look, it's all talking about the very first representatives of the Senate! Yeesh! When is this dated?" He hit a few buttons and his jaw dropped "By the Force…this was written over 1,000 years ago! It must be the Republic's most ancient document!"

"Must be," said Nightshot "Wonder who wrote it…the first Supreme Chancellor?" They scrolled down to the bottom of the page. It read:

May the Force be with us all. Bless the Republic. Signed: The Thousand Knights.

"The Thousand Knights?" they said together.

"The Thousand Knights?" said a voice behind them "Goodness, what are you two looking at?" Their insides frozen in shock, Anakin and Nightshot turned around to face the Jedi Archivist, Jocasta Nu. She was looking at them very sternly.

Nice going, little bro, thought Anakin.

Uh oh. Are the Skywalker brothers in trouble? And just what's so special about the Thousand Knights that they're kept in a classified section of the Archives? Keep reading to find out!
