I am so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry for not publishing this sooner! We had to wipe my computer's hard drive, plus I had school finals, and also I was a wee bit lazy :) But it's now up, and I hope you all enjoy it! Also, when I wrote this, I couldn't remember for the life of me what the archivist's name was. I remembered about halfway through the chapter, but I had amused myself by what I'd put so I left it as it is. This chapter is-in a way-dedicated to charliebrown1234. To let her know that I am updating it, not leaving it to die :D

The title of this chapter is from the song Up Periscope by Drake Bell :) Give it a listen!

/Up Periscope\\

"What do you mean you can't find it?"

After reading through dozens of holobooks for about an hour, I'd decided to check up on Obi-Wan to see if he'd found anything about Kamino on one of the archives' computers.

So far, we hadn't made any progress.

"Exactly what I said," he told me. "It doesn't show up at all."

"Curious," I hummed.

"Indeed."

Eventually we called over the archivist (AN: Name, name…What is her NAME? AHHHH!). In my opinion, she looked pretty old and fragile.

That is, I did until Obi-Wan explained that she was a Jedi, too (AN: WHA?)

I zoned out for a bit as she and Obi-Wan started to talk about some man named Count Dooku. Then she changed the subject.

"Master Obi-Wan," she said suddenly, "I'm sure that a history lesson is not why you called me over."

I looked over my shoulder to see Obi-Wan smiling sheepishly at her.

"No," he admitted. "It isn't."

He walked over and rested his arm on the back of the chair I was sitting in. As he leaned down to click a few files on the monitor, I felt my face heat up and my heart started beating faster.

Wait, what's going on? Why am I getting so nervous all of a sudden?

He straightened up.

"We're looking for a planet called Kamino," he told the Archivist. "It's beyond the Outer Rim and it's not showing up."

The woman frowned. "Kamino? It's not a system I'm familiar with. Are you sure you have the right coordinates?"

"Absolutely."

She typed and clicked away for a little bit and sighed.

"It seems as though your planet doesn't exist," she said.

Obi-Wan rubbed his chin. "That can't be right.."

"Maybe the archives are incomplete," I suggested.

He looked at me for a moment before nodding with a slight smile on his face.

The archivist looked a bit miffed.

"If a planet is not in our records, it doesn't exist!" she said snarkily before walking away.

I started to grind my teeth.

"Why I oughta-"

"Amy," Obi-Wan stated calmly, cutting me off, "Don't throw a tantrum. Not now."

I mock-scowled at his teasing and nodded. "Yeah, yeah."

He grinned, making my heart flutter in my chest.

There's that feeling again. What the hell is this?

I shook it off when he spoke again.

"Come on, then. Let's see what Master Yoda has to say about this."

Master Yoda had been teaching a class of younglings when we'd arrived, but he had them stop their training when he saw us.

"Younglings, enough," Yoda called. "Visitors we have. Welcome them."

As the children powered down their lightsabers, Yoda moved slowly forward.

"Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Miss Amy Matherly, meet the mighty Bear Clan," he said, nodding at the children.

"Welcome Master Obi-Wan and Miss Amy!" the children chorused.

"HI, KIDDOS!" I yelled, grinning and waving like crazy.

They laughed and some waved back.

Obi-Wan chuckled at my enthusiasm and nodded a greeting to the children, but at once turned to Yoda, causing me to roll my eyes.

"We're sorry to disturb you, Master," he said.

"What help to you can I be?" Yoda answered.

"We're looking for a planet described to us by an old friend of mine. I trust him, and I think Amy does, too, but the system doesn't show up on the archive maps."

I glanced around the room, thinking. The implications were obvious-and serious-but there was no reason to upset the children. At least, I hoped not.

Yoda twitched his ears up and said calmly, "Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing."

I giggled and Obi-Wan flicked me in the ear, smirking. One of the children barely managed to smother a laugh at this. Yoda, on the other hand, pretended not to notice any of this. "Liam, the shades. An interesting puzzle."

He stumped over to Obi-Wan and me and waved his cane at the class.

"Gather, younglings, around the map reader. Clear your minds, and find Obi-Wan and Amy's missing planet, we will try. Bobby, the lights, please."

Obediently, the children clustered around the shaft of the map reader as the lights dimmed. This class had not seen it in use before and there were exclamations of surprise—from the children and myself—when Obi-Wan brought out a small ball—the portable map record.

That's what one of the children told me, anyways.

Obi-Wan placed the map record in the hollow top of the reader shaft and our surprise turned to delighted laughter when a three-dimensional hologram of the galaxy sprang up, occupying a large part of the room. Stars of varying brightness seemed to float in the classroom, and a few of the children tried to catch them.

"Wow," I breathed. This is so cool.

"Do you like it?" I turned to see Obi-Wan, smiling at me.

I nodded vigorously. "Of course! It's so pretty!"

His smile softened a bit.

"Yeah," he murmured.

He stared at me for a minute longer before he walked into the hologram and stopped. "This is where it ought to be—but it isn't."

I walked up next to him and looked where he was pointing.

"You're right," I said, frowning, "Gravity is pulling all stars in this area inward to this spot. There should be a star here—"

"—but there isn't," Obi-Wan said, finishing my sentence.

I smiled at him, then turned my attention to Yoda.

"Most interesting," he said, "Gravity's silhouette remains, but the star and all of its planets have disappeared. How can this be?"

He turned to his class. "Now, younglings, in your mind, what is the first thing you see? An answer? A thought? Anyone?"

There was a moment of silence. I was thinking so hard that I was afraid my brain would explode!

Then a boy beside me raised his hand, making me smile.

Yoda nodded, and the child said, "Master? Because someone erased it from the archive memory."

"Yes!" called the other children happily. "That's what happened. Someone erased it!"

I laughed when I saw the look on Obi-Wan's face—slack-jawed and staring at the children.

A small serious girl looked up at us and explained, "If the planet blew up, the gravity would go away."

Yoda chuckled with me, as much at Obi-Wan's expression as at the performance of his students. "Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is. The Padawan is right. Go to the center of gravity's pull, and find your planet you will."

I retrieved the map and handed it to Obi-Wan.

"But Master Yoda," I said as we turned to go, "Who could have erased information from the archives? I heard it's impossible…isn't it?"

Yoda frowned. "Dangerous and disturbing this puzzle is," he admitted. "Only a Jedi could have erased those files."

I was sure he felt my startled concern as well as Obi-Wan's because he nodded. "Who, and why, harder to answer. Meditate on this I will. May the Force be with you both."

We repeated the wish and walked out of the room.

I turned to Obi-Wan.

"Well, Kenobi, looks like we long trip ahead of us," I said with a grin.

He smiled down at me.

"That we do, Amy," he said. "That we do."

I must know, who went and saw the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 premiere? I went and saw it with my sister and her friends, and my friends Courtney and Jacob ^-^ I LOVED IT! Courtney wore her Slytherin scarf and Jacob and I dressed up as Hogwarts students. We were seated two hours before the premiere started so we had a LOT of fun! I saw it again over Thanksgiving break with my mum and sister, and I hope to see it in theatres a third time :)

Also found out that there will be no new Supernatural episodes until January 28! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY? It's absolutely terrible :'( lol
