A/N: Alright, here's another chapter. I was going to post a different chapter, but the slavedriver (aka Laura), demanded a chapter. She even stole my "ideas notebook" and tried to decipher my handwriting. Mwahaha. Ok, here goes.
Yoda's Younglings Chapter 4
Kiarra woke with a start. She sat up, and looked across the room at Laci. She was awake, too.
There was a knocking at the door, then Rala walked in. He looked at the girls, and asked wordlessly, 'You, too?'
Both nodded.
Just then, footsteps thudded down the hall.
Anna, Kefira and Mari raced into the room, cannon-balling into Rala, who cried out in surprise.
"Are you alright, Rala?" asked Anna.
"Yes, I'm fine. You just startled me."
"What's wrong, little ones?" asked Laci, holding out her hands.
Kefira and Mari climbed onto her bed, hoping for cuddles. Anna did the same to Kiarra.
"We had a bad dream," she explained. "Leyana got blown up." She looked on the verge of tears.
"We had the same dream," Laci told them.
"But don't worry. I'm fairly sure Leyana didn't get killed," Kiarra told them. "There was an explosion, but I'm fairly sure she's alright."
"That's good," said Anna, hugging her. "It would be bad if Leyana died."
Laci pushed off her blankets. She was wearing an apple-green t-shirt and striped boxer shorts.
"Come on, younglings," she said, herding them out the door. "Let's get you back to bed."
With the younglings safely tucked in, Laci gave them a Force-aided suggestion to hurry them off to sleep. Then she returned to her room.
Rala was sitting on her bed, so she sat beside him.
"It may have been a prophecy," suggested Kiarra.
"But we all dreamed it," pointed out Laci. "Surely we can't all have prophecy – isn't supposed to be rare? Hardly any Old Republic Jedi had it, from what I've heard."
"It is possible." Rala tried to explain his thoughts. "That we'd all have the same dream, I mean. All six of us are Force sensitive. And your mind'ssupposed to relax when you're asleep. So, if one of us had the dream, they could have transmitted it." He looked at both girls. "If that makes any sense."
"I think I kinda understand," said Laci.
"Ditto. But only cause I'm using the Force to see what you mean. I think I'd be totally confused otherwise."
"It wasn't that confusing!" Laci protested.
"Thanks, Lace. But Key has a point."
Kyarra smiled. "Thank you," she said, smugly.
"But it still doesn't answer the question," Laci complained. "Was it a prophecy? Or something else?"
"I don't know." Rala frowned. "We need to contact Master Yoda."
