A/N:

skywalker05- Do I get annoyed by reviews! Not one bit. I welcome any constructive criticism you have, and I live for feedback. I'm not sure what to do about chapter length, I've always written short chappys... so enjoy what I give you:P

Chapter 6: Memories

I'm really not in the mood for another enlightening conversation with my Voice, so I decide to head out and find a cantina to sit in. Hopefully, the noise will be enough to block out the Voice…

Just being back in the lower levels of Coruscant brings back memories I'd rather leave buried. Some are so painful, and others give me this warm, fuzzy feeling…

"Are you sure we should be doing this?"

"Oh, don't be such a sissy, Kaie."

"I'm not! I just don't think we ought to be down this far…"

"Sissy, sissy, Kaie's a sissy!"

"I am not!"

"Are too."

"Ok, you two, cut it out. Let's hurry and get there before someone spots us."

The cantina was dimly lit, and it gave me a spooky feeling. Syra and Wil didn't seem to mind it. Maybe Wil was right… maybe I was a sissy.

"What'll it be for you, Kaie?"

I snapped back to the present. "Oh… Ruby Bliel."

On his way to grab us a booth, Wil whispered, "Sissy."

I stuck my foot out and watched with hopefully innocent eyes as he crashed to the floor.

I was surprised to see him doubled over when he managed to find his way to his feet again. Had he fallen that hard? Then I realized he was laughing.

"You're good, Kaie."

"Not really," I grinned.

"What did you think you were doing!"

I stared at the floor silently.

"Answer me, apprentice."

"We were having fun, Master."

"Pah! Fun! A Jedi does not need fun, Kaie."

I raised my eyes to his defiantly. "Maybe not. But 16 year old girls do."

His green eyes, a shade darker than mine, blaze. "Kaie…"

I heard the warning in his voice. "Sorry, Master. I'll see myself to my room."

/end flashback

I find myself in the same cantina I had been in those 6 years ago. Shoot. Just perfect. There're too many things here that might provoke memories.

Is that a bad thing?

Why won't you leave me alone!

You don't want me to leave you alone. You're afraid of being left alone. And the truth is, you are alone, because you are me, and I am you, and we are one.

Enough.

"What'll it be for you, miss?"

I jump. "Oh. Ruby Bliel, please."

I can almost hear Wil laughing at me. Sissy.
