This chapter the plot starts to go towards the movies so read carefully.
"Hey dad, where is Caitlyn?" Boba asked as he, for the at least 100 time, glanced towards the door.
"Now that you mention it, where is she?" Zam stood up and brought the plate over to where it would be washed.
Jango just stared at the plate of food he had made himself. Caitlyn called me dad. Dad,dad,dad. I can't believe I was that fatherly towards her. He thought, He didn't eat anything so far. He just played with his food and didn't make eye contact.
Bobas half smile went away the instant Jango didn't respond to Zam. he walked around the table and crawled in to his dads lap. "Daddy?"
Jango looked down on Boba, he looked sad and suspious. Zam sat down next to Jango waiting. Jango put down his fork and pushed away the food, he wasn't hungry anyways. Zam picked it up and started to walk over to put in down. "Oky, Zam, Boba, I have something to tell you two." Jango said reagusting so his son could sit better in his lap.
Zam stopped and turned around, still holding the plate of food. "What is it Jango?"
"Caitlyn left, and I don't think she is coming back." Jango choked out. Zam dropped the plate of food on the floor. She immediately rushed over Jango and stood over him.
"you didn't make her leave, did you?" Boba asked sadly.
"No, why would I do that?" Jango saw the cleaning droid come out and clean up the spill of food.
"Oh Jango you can't be serious." Zam cries and wiped her eyes of tears.
"I am going to my room." Boba sulked. He slumped his shoulders and Jango didn't feel the need to correct his posture.
"Oh Jango, you loved her as much as Boba didn't you?" Zam asked.
"Well," He paused. "Yes."
'Well I knew it, anyways shes gone and you still have to live you're life." Zam said as Jango stood up and walked to the door with out answering.
Zam stood up and stopped him in the door way. She turned him around and kissed him on the lips. Zam felt him tense up but relaxed and pulled her in closer. In to a warm hug. When Jango and Zam both needed air they both looked in to each others eyes and Zam blushed. "Just wanted to give you something to be speechless about."
"I don't know about speechless Zam." He said hugging her even tighter. "Thanks."
"Ba'gedet'ye." Zam said smiling as they both sat down on the couch together.
"Where did you learn that?" Jango asked surprised at how Zam knew how to say Your welcome in Mando'a.
"Where do you think?" Zam said softly.
Jango thought for a moment, ah Caitlyn.
"Master come look! I found someone, and she is still alive!" a voice came cutting though the pain Caitlyn was in. She wasn't wearing her armor, because this wasn't a bounty hunt, she just needed somewhere to rest. But droids attacked her and left her to die in the bushes.
"Ah a young one. Good job, Keel-Sai. Her neck is not broken so she should be able to get her back to the ship." Caitlyn heard the gentle male voice and she tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't. I try some other time... she thought as she went to sleep.
About and hour later she was awoken by a great pain from were she had gotten shot in the back. But as soon as she stared to complain she felt something lightly touch her forehead and the pain went away. Caitlyn opened her eyes and found a twi'lek watching her intently. "You're awake."
"Where am I?" Caitlyn asked nevously.
"Your in the Jedi temple young one. I am Jedi healer Nolas Venre." The green twi'lek stood up and walked over to the door and walked out side. Caitlyn watched intently as she came back with an elderly Kel Dor.
"Thi is Plo Koon. He is the Jedi that saved you." Nolas said. "He wanted to meet you when you woke up."
"Thank you Nolas, can I speak to her alone?" Plo Koon asked.
"Yes." Nolas bowed and left.
Caitlyn curiously stared at Plo Koon. "Thanks for saving me."
Plo Koon nelt down beside bed. "Your welcome young one, now I just wanted to ask you something really important."
Caitlyn sat up against the pillows and yawned. "What did you want to ask?"
"I asked the Jedi council if I could ask you to be force tested to be a Jedi. They said they would." Plo Koon said.
"Dose that mean Icould be a Jedi?" C aitlyn asked her eyes staring to glitter hopefully.
"Yes and No. The council will want to see you as soon as you can walk." Plo Koon stood back up.
"I can walk." Caitlyn said as she pushed back the covers and stood up. She felt soreness in her legs but that was just about it. "Can we go now?"
"Yes we can." Plo Koon walked out of the door and Caitlyn followed. "So young one what is your name?"
"My name is Caitlyn." She said as she studied carefully where they were going.
Plo Koon laughed. "So curious for one so old." Caitlyn laughed a little bit but kept carefully studying everything as they walked.
After about 5 minutes they arrived where the Jedi temple met.
"Now, Caitlyn, remember. These people are highly respected and you should do as such." Plo Koon said.
"I will Master Plo." Caitlyn said. She mentally shook off most of her feels except for nervousness as they entered.
"Ah Master Yoda, they young one is here." Caitlyn looked over to where Mace Windu sat. The little green one, turned around.
"Young she is not." He said
"The Force is strong in her. I can feel it." Windu said. Mace turned around and motioned for Caitlyn to stand in the middle of the room. "State your name."
"Caitlyn." She said.
"Now we are going to force test you. Tell us what you see." Mace Windu said.
Caitlyn nodded and closed her eyes. She let go of her feelings and let others come in. Caitlyn was soon listing off the pictures in her head with ease. After they were done she opened her eyes and saw mostly everyone looked impressed.
"Immpressed I am. But too old she is." Yoda said.
"If I may interject, I will train her." Mace Windu said. Everyone turned to stare at him. "She has great potential."
"A strech it was letting Skywalker train." Yoda paused as he studied Mace intently. "Train her you can."
Mace Windu stood and bowed to Yoda. "This meeting done with anyways, can I show her around?"
"That would be a good idea." Plo Koon said. "I can't show her around, I have to go train my padawan."
"Thank you, Masters." Caitlyn bowed in respect and followed Windu out of the council camber.
Later in the after noon they came they a training room. As Windu pointed out everything, Caitlyn absorbed all the information. Caitlyn felt though the Force someone behind her. She turned around to see a 6 year old boy standing there. Caitlyn walked away silently and stepped outside the room.
"What do you need young one?" Caitlyn asked gently.
"My lightsaber will not work. My master isn't here right now." The boy said.
"Here let me see it." Caitlyn studied the lightsaber. "Here is your problem, this button is to tight." Caitlyn gently twisted the blade adjustment button and then pressed the red button and the blade sprung to life.
Caitlyn shut off the lightsaber and gave it back to the boy who's eyes were shining brightly. "Thank you."
Caitlyn smiled and ruffled the boys short brown hair. "Your welcome, whats your name?"
"My name Darman Redas." The boy said.
"My name is Caitlyn. It was nice meeting you, Darman. Now how about you get going before you're missed." Caitlyn watched as the kid ran away down the hall.
Mace Windu had turned around to watch just after Caitlyn starting helping the boy. He was already impressed with her. "When I said I saw great potential, I didn't know you could fix something you never built before."
Caitlyn turned back around to face Windu. Caitlyn had bulit a lightsaber before, its just that she didn't have it with her. "Well, I don't really know how I figured it out, I just did."
"Well its about time you built one of your own." Mace Windu paused. "Tomorrow when you wake you can come find me. I will show you how to build one." Mace Windu motioned down the hall. "I'll show you where you'll be sleeping."
So Mace shows her where she will sleep. The rest of the day with her new master is quiet meditation. On the outside she is quite happy and serine, but on the inside the conflict over the what Mace Windu dose in the future, could send Caitlyn to kill him. She lies in bed staring at the ceiling.
Far away waking up to the smell of breakfast, Boba yawns and sits up in bed.
Unable to sleep Caitlyn gazes out in to the night...
Boba walks over to his window and watches the rain fall..
Both look up towards the sky....
Will we ever see each other again?
