Okay, so I went back and edited this chapter so it's longer. They don't get much longer than this, sorry

I filled with excitement as we stepped out of the stuffy van. I have to admit, Skywalker Ranch was nothing like I imagined. I imagined an amazing Coruscant style building perched on the very top of the mountain surrounded by nothing but forest. But it wasn't. Nope, it looked nothing like anything you'd see on Coruscant. There were multiple white modern houses in a hilly field and they looked like, well, houses. Not at all what I expected.

I tried to smooth out my shirt the best I could, since it had went straight out of the dirty clothes basket, directly into my suitcase and then three days later onto me.

"Welcome! You're the contest winners, correct? Kari Roca, Nicole Brookes, Haven Yearly and Olivia Pastore?" Our tour guide said as she approached.

"Yep, that's us. But I go by Nicky." I said with a friendly smile.

"Ahh," She wrote something on her clipboard. "I'm your tour guide, my name is Sam, welcome to The Skywalker Ranch! Now follow me please,"

She led us through room after room, building after building, explaining what they did in each. It was interesting, it was, but it wasn't what I came here for. I didn't come to look at the clay busts they use, or the see how long they take to make the lighting perfect or even to meet Dave what's-his-name who was the director of the Clone Wars TV show. I came here to meet the amazing George Lucas and make Star Wars history!

"Now you will be meeting Mr. Lucas, get to know each other and then I will take you to your rooms." She gave us a quick smile before holding open the door for us.

We stepped into the room and looked around. There was multiple windows and the walls were covered in cover art and posters. At the very end of the room there was a desk that looked out into the valley below.

"Welcome girls!" George Lucas said as he turned the chair around so that he was facing us. "I'm George Lucas, but you can call me George." He held out his hand like this completely normal, like we weren't meeting a legend.

I (of course) was the first one across the room shaking George's hand. "My name's Nicky Brookes and I am a huge fan!" I introduced myself as the others came forward.

"Haven Yearly" "Olivia Pastore" "Kari Roca" Everyone else introduced themselves and shook George's hand, while I mentally promised I would never wash my hand again.

"It's nice to meet you all. Now I'm sure you have many questions, so ask away. I'll try my best to answer." I had to restrain myself from slipping into my hyper mode and total freaking him out.

"How did you get the idea for Star Wars?" I asked as I bit my lip to keep myself from bursting out and completely bombarding him with questions.

"Well to be honest I combined Flash Gordan with Akira Kurosawa, threw in some science fiction novels, comic books and the Wizard of Oz and added some myth structures." It sounded like he was giving us a recipe. I had no clue what Flash Gordan or Akira Kurosawa was, but I nodded eagerly anyway.

"What is the experiment you're going to be testing on us?" Haven asked.

"Ahh, that's the one thing I can't awnser. It's supposed to be a surprise, but I assure you, you won't be harmed in the process.

"Mr. Lucas? Dave is here for the meeting." Sam said as she poked her head through the door. I looked up at the clock and saw it had been 15 minutes already! How the heck did that happen?

"Okay, send him in. Nice meeting you girls, we'll be meeting in the attic of the effects building tomorrow." Sam quickly ushered us out and lead us up a set of stairs and past a bunch of offices.

"Here's your room girls, now please remember the offices are right down the hall, so please don't be too loud. Your suitcases are already in there. Goodnight!" She hurried off, leaving us standing in the hallway.

Olivia pulled the door open and we all stepped in. It was a pretty room; the walls were a sky blue and everything wooden in the room had been painted white. There was a big window and two bunk beds on either side of it. Our suitcases were lying next to the door.

After I had changed into my monkey covered pajamas I sat on the window still and stared out into the darkness that covered the valley. It was a beautiful view, but it was making me tired. And sleep was not part of tonight's plan.
