To Change A Horrible Fate

Jen was 15 when Mace Windu came and took her away to fulfill her destiny, now shes 19 and its the beginning of Episode II. Why does Padme want to be her best friend? Why doesn't Anakin see their connection? Anakin/OC MY DEEPEST APOLOGIES FOR THE 4 YR WAIT

Fate Changer – Chapter 1

I was a regular girl who just wanted to be like everyone else. Well, not really. Every night I would pray that I would be taken away to "a galaxy far, far away". Considering I was a huge Star Wars fan, wishing to be a Jedi was relatively normal. The Jedi Code goes like this:

There is no emotion; there is peace.

There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.

There is no passion; there is serenity.

There is no death; there is the Force

I was overweight, so I didn't think I even had a chance at love or passion. I mean boys my age don't want a 5'7", 190 lbs girl. They want the easy, skinny, somewhat short girls. So, if a Jedi couldn't have love or attachments, then I was okay with that. I was pretty good at not showing emotions. People were always asking me if I was alright because of the unresponsive look that was on my face most of the time. That was when I zoned out, in deep thought or I was bored. I was very smart, so having knowledge of my world and their world would not be a problem. And finally, death didn't bother me. My grandmother had died recently and I was strangely okay with it. I mean, what normal person's grandma dies and they're okay with it. The rest of my family cried all the time and I just sat there laughing with my friends. Even they protested laughing, saying, "Jen, we can't laugh! This is your grandma's wake!" But it didn't faze me. The only time I cried was when I was called out of class and brought up to the attendance office to see my cousin, who went to school with me, with tear stained eyes. I basically fit the criteria for a Jedi. I had no problems with the Jedi code. I could also change the future. I could help Anakin, that had always been my greatest goal, given I had the chance.

But that was then, that was before I was actually brought to Corusant by Mace Windu. That was a long time ago. That was before my entire life changed. That was before I changed fate. That was before I found love. That was before I was given the chance.
