Hey guys! Amzoka is back with another chapter of… The Mysterious Girl! Honestly guys, I love writing this story. I'm so caught up in it that I haven't been able to get ANY new stories up! If you guys like, you can request for new stories 'cause unlike a lot of authors I know of, I love requests. XD So sit back, relax, and enjoy the randomness!
Over the next two weeks, Ashley had been training hard. She wanted to unlock a lot of her potential at an early age… and she was ready for anything that was to come. By now, Ashley had learned that Jedi could not only do light side techniques, but dark side as well. Using the dark side's "Black Magic" as some of the older Jedi called it, was dangerous in many ways. But in Ashley's case, it was kinda fun.
The way her emotions rushed through her attacks was amazing. Too bad the Jedi didn't encourage it.
"Hey kid! Over here!" Ahsoka yelled from one side of the hallway. Ashley had just finished her training and was now heading for her cabin. Ahsoka was going to the archives, which by some weird coincidence was in the hallway Ashley was passing to get to her clan's cabin. By now, Ashley had been given the Jedi robes that the other younglings wear, at least just so she didn't look awkward.
Ashley rushed over to Ahsoka. "Good to see you again Ahsoka! How have things been going?" she asked, excited to see her friend again. "Good, as far as I know. Some younglings have just passed their first trials and are now going to get their own lightsabers" Ahsoka explained. Ashley stopped dead in her tracks. "Already? Well, I guess it makes sense but…" Ashley allowed her words to trail off.
"What do you mean?" Ahsoka asked, "I mean, like… you knew this was going to happen?". "Yep" Ashley replied playfully, "I knew it alright. I'll show you a cartoon replay when the mission is over". Ahsoka looked stunned. "Did your Master tell you anything about me at all Ahsoka?" Ashley asked lifting an eyebrow. "Only to tell me that your doing well in your training" Ahsoka replied shrugging.
Ashley sighed, "I know most of your futures Ahsoka. The problem is that since I'm here, the future I am most familiar with could change. And if the future I am most familiar with changes, everything I say will go wrong and the Republic will be left with nothing but chaos". Ahsoka was still looking at her like she was crazy. "Oh yeah! I keep forgetting to ask you. Have the younglings given you a nickname yet? 'The Mysterious Girl' was terrible".
"Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you. The younglings call me Ash now. The weird thing is that my partner's name is Ashla, so it sounds weird when we're together" Ashley replied cheerfully. "Ashla? The Togruta girl?" Ahsoka mumbled in disbelief, "She's your partner?". "Er, yeah" Ashley said, "We've been friends for quite a while now. Besides, she's your species!". Ahsoka laughed. Suddenly both girls heard their comlinks beep. "Sorry kid, I have to go now" Ahsoka said. "Yeah me too" Ashley replied with an unnatural tone. "So, see you tomorrow kid!" Ahsoka said breaking into a run. "You too!" Ashley yelled back, running the opposite direction.
"And don't forget that my new name is Ash!"
Ashley burst into her shared cabin. "Ash? Where have you been?!" Mari exclaimed running over to her. Mari Amithest was one of the younglings in the Bear Clan, and also the sister of J.K Burtola. By now, Ashley had made friends with all of her clan mates. It seemed best, for keeping the peace anyway. "Sorry I'm late" Ashley said, ignoring her, "I took a little detour. Its not too late is it?".
"Heck yeah, it late" J.K said jumping off of his bunk, "Its what like, nine already? You were supposed to be here by eight!". "It doesn't matter" Ashla argued still lying on her bunk, "Now that Ash is here, we can begin". "Quite right. Mari, fill her in on the plan" Liam ordered. Mari rolled her eyes as she turned on a holoprojector. The holoprojector showed a holo image of the Jedi Temple.
"We're supposed to be on a meditative retreat starting tomorrow. There are a few clans of younglings that have decided to make the first full night really fun. My brother has some credits" Mari explained as J.K was playing with credit bars. "Tomorrow night, we leave for lower Coruscant. We're going to the new place called Kids Cantina right next to 79's. We can leave at 8:30 pm, and be back by 8:45. That way, we'll be back before the Jedi even notice that we were gone". Mari turned the holoprojecter off and looked up at Ashley with curious eyes.
It was strange how intelligent Mari was, even if she was only eight years old. "Good plan" Ashley concluded, "One more thing though. How are we going to get out of here?". "Through that" Liam replied, pointing at the only window in the room. "The window? Your kidding right?" Ashley mused out loud. "Oh yeah, and there is a group of younglings that are going to build their lightsabers three days from now" Ashla added.
"Younglings? Who are they?" Ashley asked curious to know more. "Come on Ash! They say that you know more about our universe than we do! Take a guess" J.K taunted. Ashley thought hard. What comes after Onderon? she mused, Come on Ash! Ahsoka told you earlier! The Younglings Arc? Yeah, I think it was the Younglings Arc.
"I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say that one of them might be Katooni" Ashley said making a face. "And?" The other younglings chanted. "Petro, Byph, Ganodi, Zatt, and…" Ashley trailed off. "Wait, why are you guys making me guess again?" Ashley asked, tilting her head. The younglings giggled. "Just continue" Ashla laughed. Ashley sighed, "Fine. The last one's Gungis. There you guys-" Ashley was cut off by her clan mates bursting into laughter!
"What?!" she yelled over their laughter. "Oh Ash!" Ashla exclaimed between giggles, "Gungis is a type of weapon! Gungi is the name of the youngling!". Everyone else kept on laughing. Ashley just watched them with a serious expression on her face. Soon, Mari stopped laughing and stared back at her. "Uh guys" Mari said tilting her head, "You should really see this". The others looked at Ashley and their laughter was immediately put to an end.
Just then, Ashley felt something warm on her head. "Ash… don't move" Ashla warned. The thing on Ashley's head, whatever it was crept toward her face. It was about the same size as a large stone. Just small enough to fit on the top of her head. Ashley took a deep breath. Whatever it was, it was going to fall soon. "Arg! I can't take it anymore!" she yelled. With a quick leap, Ashley managed to leap onto her bunk and fling the thing off.
The thing fell to the ground with a loud THUD. All of the younglings sprung onto their beds, ready to take cover incase something weird happened. The thing lay still, as if it hadn't been touched at all. The younglings were breathing heavily at the shock. "What was that thing?!" Ashley finally managed to yell. "I don't know" Liam said, still breathing heavily, "But whatever it is, I'm not gonna be the first to touch it".
"Well, we have to do something to get it out of our room!" Mari argued. "Oh yeah? Well why don't you try to pick it up… Amithest" Ashla taunted. "Don't call me that! I HATE it when you call me that! My name is Mari!" Mari shouted in anger. "STOP!" Ashley yelled. All of the younglings in the room started at her. "Is this room made for fighting? Every time we're in here, we argue! Now someone please just get that thing out of our room!"
Suddenly, something really bizarre happened to the rocklike object. It grew eyes! "Hello" came a female voice. "AGH!" the younglings screamed in unison. "Hey, its OK. I'm Angeli, and I come from the Temple gardens. I've seen you kids play there a lot so I thought I might try to talk to you for once". The children were stunned. A talking rock! "Okay, good night" Ashley said, quickly burying herself in the covers of her bed. She figured it would be fine. Especially since she was already wearing her PJ's when she was talking to Ahsoka.
"Good night" the others said, imitating what Ashley had done. Now, only one youngling remained staring. Instead of being afraid of Angeli, Ashla was fascinated with her. "Hey, wanna sleep with me tonight?" Ashla asked. "Sure! Can you carry me up the ladder? I don't have arms or legs so-" "Okay" Ashla cut her off, climbing down. She placed Angeli on her bed and turned off the lights. "Good night everyone!"
Amzoka's Corner
See guys? Longer chapter this time. Now that I've written this, I don't think you guys can blame me for randomness anymore. Actually thats kinda funny. Go ahead! Blame me for writing with absolutely no plot or aim! Now, to settle a problem I've been having with the reviews… Here's something a guest wrote:
Guest: Save Satine!
Me: Would you please stop it already?! The quote was fine at first but now its just getting really annoying. Look man, let me put your mind at ease. Ashley's gonna try to save Duchess Satine, but I'm still not sure weather she's gonna live or die. Thanks, and please stop begging.
Also, please check out my new poll at the very top of my profile. I need ideas so I'd really appreciate it if someone voted on the poll.
Now that I've covered that, reviews and requests for stories are always awesome, constructive criticism is OK, but no hate/flames please!
