This was an idea that just popped into my head and I thought it would make a cool story. The OCs used are characters that a friend and I made up for a site so I'm using them instead of us.

Story summery: One summer, two Star Wars fans get sucked into that galaxy far, far away and become part of the unfolding events.

Disclaimer: Do I look like George Lucas? And I only own one of the OCs.

SW REDONE: Episode I

The Phantom Menace

"Gahh! I've only got one life left!"

"Drop out, I can finish this."

"Sorry."

The screen dimmed and a list of options came up. Rin picked the one labeled "Drop Out" and pressed the X button on her controller. The Y-wing she had being flying disappeared from the game, leaving only Sindi's X-wing. It was the first day of summer and the two girls were celebrating by playing Sindi's Lego Star Wars video game. It was the sequel meaning they were playing through Lego versions of episodes IV, V, and VI. Currently they were just about to finish the story version of Episode IV and blow up the first Death Star. Sindi was a natural with flying the ships, Rin not so much.

"Flying's for droids," Rin had said earlier in the level. She had a habit of using quotes from her favorite character Obi-Wan Kenobi and Sindi often had a quote from her own favorite character just for times like these.

"Sorry Master," she said using one of Anakin's lines from Attack of the Clones. "I forgot you don't like flying."

"I don't mind flying but what you're doing is suicide," Rin countered when Sindi flew her X-wing right at a gun turret and just barely avoided hitting the wall after destroying it. They were so close to completing the True Jedi meter for this level and beating this episode when Rin took a hit from Vader's TIE fighter in the trench. Rather than take another hit and lose coins, Rin decided to let Sindi fly this part alone. She watched as her friend expertly dodged blast fire from both the turrets and the TIEs. She doubled back a few times to destroy the turrets and collect the coins before heading into the area where the exhaust port was. Sindi destroyed the turrets, deactivated the shield, and headed back down the trench to pick up a torpedo. As she was making her way down the trench, her friend decided to have some fun.

"Use the Force Sind," Rin said as someone walked into the living room. "Let go Sind." For the sake of not crashing into the walls of the trench, Sindi ignored the urge to nudge Rin in the side.

"The Force is strong with this one," a man said behind the girls.

"Hey Dad," Sindi said without looking and continued her run down the trench. She released the torpedo and the cut scene showing the destruction of the Death Star (and Vader being tossed around the cockpit of his fighter like a piece of laundry in the dryer) played.

"Remember the Force will be with you, always," Rin added with a smile. Sindi, swearing revenge later, let the final scene of this section play. After saving the game, Sindi lay back on the floor.

"My thumbs hurt," she moaned as she rubbed them.

"Nintendo Thumb strikes again," Sindi's dad laughed. Rin looked down at her friend.

"My folks said I could spend the night if that was okay," she said. Sindi looked up at her dad questionly.

"That'll be fine," he said.

The girls set up their sleeping bags in the basement and decided to watch movies until they fell asleep. They had gone through all three of Sindi's Lord of the Rings DVDs and all four of the Harry Potter ones as well as some of Rin's until…

"How about this?" Rin held up The Phantom Menace.

"Okay," Sindi said and put it in. As they watched the movie, at times it seemed like the screen would get fuzzy, but they just assumed they were tired since it was almost morning. When the Federation ships were landing in the swamps at the very beginning the TV screen went completely white and started to glow. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light…

Sindi opened her eyes.

Tall trees grew all around her and the air was full but not suffocatingly, of moisture. She sat up then stood up and looked around. Rin was lying next to her and Sindi knelt down at her side.

"Rin," she whispered. "Rin!" Rin sat up with a start.

"Wha-" she mumbled sleepily.

"Come on get up," Sindi said and helped her friend to her feet. Now that she was for the most part awake, Rin looked around the forest.

"Where are we?" she asked.

"I don't know," Sindi said, "And I don't think that they're going to help us." She pointed to a squad of battle droids that were heading straight for the girls.

"I don't mean to sound Star Wars cliché but," Sindi said, "I've got a bad feeling about this."
