Chapter Nine: The Dream...

~Ezra's POV~

I stirred awake to find myself not in the private room in the medical wing that the Jedi gave me...but rather back on the Ghost. Blinking rapidly, I lifted a hand up to rub sleep from my eyes. Weird... was that whole time travelling madness just a really weird dream then? Throwing my thin covers off, I hopped down to find Zeb's bunk empty... and neatly made. I frowned at that, completely flummoxed over seeing that, he usually only made his bed when Hera hounded him...and even then it was still messy. Shaking my head, I left the small bedroom, angling towards the common room where I could sense the closest thing to a sister to me moving about. It was actually kinda odd that I couldn't sense the rest of our make-shift family. Stepping into the room, I leaned against the doorway as Sabine paced, occasionally rubbing her chest as if it hurts.

"If your hurt... you better tell Hera or else she'll go mama krayt dragon on you." I teased her lightly, trying to draw a smile out of her. She was being far too tense.

"Ezra!" Sabine spun around to glare at me, before her face fell in defeat. "When did you get here?"

"I walked in just now... you would have noticed that if you had opened yourself up to the force." I frowned, wondering why she seemed so concerned on the fact that I had just barely arrived on scene.

"What? No!" Sabine shook her head, exasperation flooding her. "When did you arrive on the Ghost?"

"I just woke up in my bunk...?" I was getting worried with this line of questioning... if I hadn't been in my bed before I had woken up... then where was I?

"Impossible... when I woke up in my bunk no one was here. I should know. I used the force to check." Sabine sank into the couch, rubbing at her chest again.

I frowned as I noticed that she honestly didn't look like she was hurt but she was in pain, I could sense it rolling off of her as well as her actions. She sat down way too gingerly to be in her normal athletic shape. "Okay... where are you hurt and what can I do to help you while we wait for whatever is going on that is keeping the others away to get over with."

Sabine frowned at that, before blurting out a question that made no sense whatsoever. "Can Jedi share dreams?"

~Sabine's POV~

I clamped a hand over my mouth the second the words left my mouth. Gah! Ezra was going to think me a weirdo for asking that! Ezra frowned at my question, confusion creasing his brow. "I... don't know. I never asked Kanan that since it never occurred to me... why do you ask?"

I debated briefly on listing everything that, in my opinion hinted that we were asleep. The first being that my last memory was falling asleep after resisting Duchess Satine's questioning for a good thirty minutes, lame compared to the Imperials hours, sometimes even days, of questioning, and then waking up here. The second clue was that my injury that the Inquisitor had given me appeared to be gone but... I could still feel it, though just faintly. And now his sudden appearance. "I think the reason why no one else is here is because this is a dream. I don't know why I'm telling you this... I mean you could be just a figment of my imagination that looks and acts just like Ezra and I'm having this dream because I'm trapped in the past and honestly if anyone can help me out here it actually will be Kanan... and I can't bring myself to ask him any questions directly so that is where you come in. You don't hesitate with asking questio..."

"Sabine? I'm not a figment of your imagination." Ezra spoke slowly, concern dancing in his eyes. "That and I'm trapped in the past."

"Great... wait. Why I haven't seen or sense you?" Now I was completely perplexed. What to do about this entire situation!?

"I don't know. I haven't seen or sense you either. Maybe we're on different planets and are too far away to do so? I think Kanan mentioned something about there being a limit on how far with the force we can sense things." Ezra shrugged helplessly, sinking low into the armchair across from me. Funny really, we are, were?, the most wanted criminals in the entire Empire...and yet despite what everyone believed, we traveled in style. The Ghost was set up to be a home on the inside, not a base of operations.

I bit my bottom lip for a second, before reaching for a novel that was sitting on the nearby bookshelf. "Maybe... Maybe Dust to the Past will give us some answers?"

Ezra arched an eyebrow upwards, disbelief flashing across his features. "You want to see if a book... which doesn't even exist yet since the first book in the series was published two years after the fall of the Old Republic, will give us some answers? Sabine! They used a time machine to go back in time! And its just a book! I was... I was with Kanan on Lothal one minute and by myself on a completely different planet the next." Ezra looked completely fed-up with me at the moment, the force oozing with his annoyance.

I bit back a groan at that. "I had contacted Hera, told her to call the rest of you back, that the Inquisitor was there, and um... well next thing that I knew I was on Mandalore. I don't know what had happened."

Ezra was silent for the longest time... before speaking up. "Maybe... I can ask Master Windu about theories on dream-sharing and time travelling? I like him and I think he likes me too... oh by the way everyone thinks I'm a Sith here cause I kinda didn't realize that I was in the past for the longest time."

I snorted at that, "Of course you did... by the way I am going by the Order: Phantom in the Ghost while I'm here. If I mention my real name and they start digging... better that they don't go interrogate my family."

Ezra nodded at that, before sheepishly admitting doing the same thing. "It was a joke though! I didn't know I was in the past at the time... I thought I was dealing with Imperials that were trying to trick me up and acted accordingly."

"Great." I paused as I heard something, it sounded like footsteps but muffled. "I've gotta go. We'll try to meet up later to discuss this further... got it kid?"

"Got it! Night 'Bine." He gave me one of his crooked, but so innocent and bright, smiles, before mock saluting me like he would one of the bucketheads back home. With a soft sigh, I blinked my eyes open...

A/N: Done! Okay... so there is a awesome Star Wars story called Missing and Presumed Dead where Luke and Vader keep sharing dreams together, much to Luke's annoyance. Go read it if you haven't already. I like the idea of family members that are force sensitive sharing dreams, and since the Ghost Crew is like a family... Ezra and Sabine just shared a dream. And yes, in my opinion Sabine would be the first one to figure it out... only because she is injured and can faintly feel her injuries.

Sorry this is so late... I was supposed to work on it last week but couldn't concentrate on it/ had major writer's block. Last night I had recalled the many scenes of Vader and Luke sharing a dream in the aforementioned story and decided that I'll just borrow that idea. And of course give the author credit... only I'm terrible with names so I can't tell you the author's name. If you are reading this however... I love that story to death and can't wait to see where it's going! Especially now that... well spoilers. Thank you all for your patience!

Also: I have every intention to get a better name for this story... and a better summary. If you have any suggestions, send them into the reviews or PM me!

Reviews:

Dumbledore19: I never stress about updating... advantage of not having a set schedule... more like a once this story updates I'll work on this story. Ezra and Sidious is coming up... since he knows about the whole Sith Lord thing... Ezra will be having some fun with that... if it goes the way it does in my head... that never happens though so we shall see! You are the most constant person to leave a review on here.

Shiranai Atsune: Yeah agree with you... thinking Kanan is short for Darth Kanan is hilarious... especially since it was Caleb, Kanan's past self, that brought it up! I know... I know... why do they make a big deal about Sith having yellow eyes when Dooku only ever had blue? Maybe his eyes not changing is a sign that he never fell completely to the dark side and still has some light in him? I mean... by the time Luke helped Darth Vader take his helmet off his eyes had turned back to blue...and I believe that since discovering he had a son he might have been battling between the light and the dark. Just a theory though. Nothing canon. Glad to know you like this story!
