Hey guys Amzoka is back with another chapter! First of all, I would like to thank all of you guys who actually bothered to review. No seriously, I got like 9 reviews on a story with 1800 something views. This chapter is probably gonna get interesting because I am literally writing off the top of my head. No plans, no nothing. Enjoy my peeps!
Reminder: If you see text in italics like this, then that means its something one of the characters is thinking.
Ashley stared at the older man. He was taller and more intimidating that he was in the movies. It was creepy. Ashley scrambled to her feet as fast as she could. "Master Windu?" she mumbled taking a step back. "And who are you?" he asked. Ashley didn't answer. Should I say something? Should I not say something? Ashley thought. Her heart was pounding. She may have known a lot about Star Wars, but she didn't know much about the characters' attitudes.
"Greetings Master Windu. Please, excuse the youngling. She's a newcomer" came Obiwan's voice. Ashley knew what was happening; and it wasn't good. Obiwan was pretending she was a Jedi initiate! "Oh no" Ashley mumbled under her breath. "Oh? From what planet?" Mace asked. "Uh" Obiwan hesitated. He glanced at Ashley as if trying to say "Give me a planet!".
Ashley glanced at the colour of her skin. It was the same shade of tan as Senator Amidala's. "Naboo" she mumbled shyly. "Ah yes, Naboo. They come from a wide variety of planets these days" Obiwan said. "Hmm…" Mace mused, "Her Force presence and signature are both very strong… but I don't sense her Force sensitivity". Great! I'm in huge trouble now! Since when was this a good idea?!
"Its just a midiclorian disorder" Obiwan replied calmly, "she'll be able to use the Force when she's older". This time it sounded like Obiwan was telling the truth. "This is just getting weirder and weirder" Ashley mumbled. Luckily the older men were too busy talking to hear her. Realising that the Jedi weren't going to mind her, she snuck back through the corridors and entered Obiwan's room.
"Hey kid, do you think now would be a good time to talk?" Anakin asked. It was about 6:30 pm on Coruscant and they were in the mess hall eating dinner. "Actually it is" Ashley replied knowing that she meant something else, "Master Kenobi, were you serious when you said that I had some kind of disorder?" "Yes, I was" Obiwan admitted, "You're from an area where in there are no Force sensitives, am I correct?" "Yeeeaaah… and?" Ashley stretched out the word childishly.
"And have you ever wondered why your people are like that?" Obiwan continued. "Sometimes. Why?" Ashley asked. "Its the solar system" Obiwan explained, "The sun in your galaxy is different from all others. It is a lot brighter and has the ability to damage your eyes". "Aren't all suns like that?" Ashley asked. "No" Obiwan replied. "The sun in your galaxy is so strong that it can block Force sensitivity. The effects will wear off in a few years"
"Wait so I'm a Force sensitive?" Ashley asked, bewildered. "Yes you are" Obiwan replied. Ashley's eyes widened, "Your kidding right?" Ashley denied. "No, I'm not" Obiwan replied in calm voice. Ashley stared at her hands, "No" she whispered. "No! This isn't possible! Master Kenobi, you're making a huge mistake!"
"No, I'm not" Obiwan said, "You are a Force sensitive". Ashley looked down at her food in confusion. This was her dream! Becoming a Force sensitive was her dream and yet, it just didn't seem right. "Alright, I believe you" Ashley finally accepted. "Good" Obiwan said. "Um, is this a good time for me to speak?" Anakin asked in an annoyed tone. "If you must, Anakin" Obiwan groaned.
"Well, how do you know Ahsoka anyway?" Anakin asked giving Ashley a glare. "Ahsoka? As in Ahsoka Tano? Well, she's like my hero!" Ashley exclaimed. "That doesn't explain how you know her" Anakin said. "Oh well… I watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars the movie which is where Ahsoka first showed up. She was this brand new character, nobody knew who she was, etc." Ashley explained.
"Oh, that reminds me" Obiwan interrupted, "Ahsoka is in the med bay right now. You can sleep in her quarters for a few nights" "Wait, Ahsoka's in the med bay? What happened to her?" Ashley choked on her food in surprise. "She just got back from Onderon" Anakin explained.
"Really?" Ashley responded. "I have a replay of it on my iPa- er, Data Pad". "Are you talking about this thing?" Obiwan asked holding up a red iPad. "Hey! Thats mine!" Ashley exclaimed. She grabbed the iPad out of his hand. It was hers alright. "Where did you get this anyway?" Ashley asked.
"From this bag. Anakin and I found it next to you when you were unconscious and- hey!" Obiwan shouted as Ashley grabbed that out of his hand too. It was her school bag! Ashley opened the bag. To her surprise, her Star Wars books, her phone, and her realistic Clone Armor! "Wha-? Why didn't you guys tell me about this earlier?"
"We just found it a few hours ago. Oh, and we have a big day tomorrow. I arranged for a meeting with the Jedi High Council" Obiwan explained. "What?!" Ashley cried, "When did you have time to do all of this? You were with me like… the whole day!"
"When I was talking to Master Windu" Obiwan replied coolly. "Talking to Master Windu?!" Ashley almost screamed, "That was like five minutes!". Anakin wasn't interested in asking her questions anymore. This was just too amusing! He watched in amusement as they continued arguing, knowing that the next day was going to be fun.
The next day, Ashley woke up naturally. Surprisingly, Anakin wasn't awake yet! If he was, he probably would have woken her up. Sleeping on Ahsoka's bed was really comfy. Maybe it's because of her lekku and montrals? Ashley thought. Ashley checked the time. It was around 6:30 am on Coruscant. Perfect. Ashley put on her coat (Master Kenobi let her use Anakin's old one from when he was a kid) and the running shoes that she had been wearing the day before.
Ashley rushed out of the door, to be greeted with the fresh smell of spring. To her surprise, the Temple was already up and about! Jedi youngings of many ages walked in single file lines, as Padawans and Masters headed for the mess hall. It was amazing! Caught up in all the excitement, Ashley broke into a full sprint for the Temple Gardens. The smell of fresh air was awesome.
Ashley slumped onto the nearest bench. This setting was perfect.
Later that day, Anakin took Ashley before the Council. Obiwan couldn't do it since he was a member of it and had to prepare for the meeting. Ashley stood in the center of the circle of chairs with the High Councilors sitting on them. This was going to be one heck of a day for all of them.
"Let's begin the meeting" Mace Windu announced. Ashley bowed her head respectfully, signaling that she understood. "Know much about the Jedi do you hmm?" Master Yoda asked. "Yes master" Ashley replied. "How much do you know?" Mace asked. "I'm not sure. I do know alot about your future though" Ashley answered. "Go on" one of the Councilors urged her.
"Alot of the information I can give you may be effective during the Clone Wars, but it's also dangerous. I would recommend choosing what you want to know wisely, otherwise the side effects could be insane" Ashley continued. "What kinds of dangers may lie ahead?" Master Mundi asked. "A lot" Ashley answered calmly, "Many of the dangers will come after the war. I would suggest being prepared".
"Would you consider becoming a Jedi?" Master Plo Koon asked. Ashley hesitated for a moment. "Yes Master, I would like to train to be a Jedi Knight" Ashley replied. The Councilors all nodded at each other. "Find a way, we shall" Yoda announced.
