A/N: Hi! This is a bit of a shorter chapter than the previous ones. I hope to get chapter 7 up this weekend, but I don't know if that will actually happen. After chapter 7 you guys will have to wait, because I'm going away for some time. Anyways, enjoy reading this next chapter!

Chapter 6

-Jessica-

I watched Anakin speed away to his secret wife. I knew it wouldn't end well, for either of them. But I couldn't say anything about it. I couldn't meddle with these things, no matter how much I wanted to. The Doctor had told me over and over again. No matter how much I wanted to make everything better by changing the events that would happen, I wasn't allowed to. Then I was suddenly reminded of the fact that the Doctor had to tell me something important. Yoda had said that I needed to go to him, but instead I had wandered around and had ended up sitting in front of the Temple. That was like three hours ago. I got up and went inside the Temple, to search for the Doctor.

It took me almost an hour to find him. The Temple was like a maze. I got lost around ten times and had to ask my way around a couple of times too. It was really embarrassing. All these Jedi staring at me like I was crazy. They probably never had been lost. They really needed to make a map of the Temple for visitors. Then again, I didn't think they had had many visitors in the past years. I supposed even the clones weren't allowed to visit. Only when it was strictly necessary, like for mission briefings. But, still, a map would be very convenient. Even for the younglings. I knew they grew up here and all, but they had to learn their way around too in the beginning. I couldn't imagine what I would do if I didn't have a map or my telephone with GPS. Note to self: tell Obi-Wan, Anakin or Yoda to make a map of the Temple. I eventually found the Doctor. He was sitting in one of the many corners of the building. He wasn't doing anything. Wow, that's a first. I thought the Doctor always needed something to do. Then I saw he was actually doing something. He was holding some sort of datapad in his hands. Probably gathering information, again. How predictable.

''Good afternoon.'' I said to him and he looked up. As soon as he saw it was me he grinned.

''Good afternoon Jessica! Do you know that there are almost 10.000 members of the Jedi Order at this very moment? That is really a lot!''

''Wow… That's so… Interesting…''

''I know, right?'' He didn't seem to notice my sarcasm. ''That means that there are also around 10.000 lightsabers, do you think I could borrow one for a second? I would like to do some experimenting with it. Just imagine the things I could do with it.'' He put down the datapad. ''I have seen many weapons, most of them books, but lightsabers are something else.'' Then his expression became even more excited, if that was possible. His eyebrows lifted up and his eyes went big. ''Oh! What if I could borrow the lightsaber of Mace Windu. He's the only one with a purple one. Would he actually let me borrow it? I don't think so. Do you? Or would there also be a Tardis blue one? That would be very good, wouldn't it? Can you imagine it? It would be so…-'' I stopped him with my hand. I knew that if I didn't do that, I would probably end up listening to him for another hour and he wouldn't even notice. He could just ramble about something forever.

''Doctor. You talk all the time, but you don't say anything.''

''I know.'' He looked sad. His eyes were filled with sorrow. He looked almost as if he was going to cry.

''Doctor. I'm sorry. I didn't intend to…''

''No. Doesn't matter. You're right.'' His face hardened.

''What is it, Doctor?'' I asked him, his expression made me anxious.

''Nothing. Something of the past.'' He murmured.

''Tell me, Doctor.''

''So how was your meditation-hour-thing with the little green guy?'' He asked me. He just avoided it. Why wouldn't he tell me? Was it that bad? He obviously didn't want to talk about it. But one day I would get it out of him. One day he would be forced to tell me. I was too determined to just let it slide. I needed to know. He knows of my past, he saw me grow up, so I needed to know of his past too. At least a part of it.

''Good… I think…'' He smiled because of my answer. ''I will tell you all about it later, but Doctor, Master Yoda said there was something you had to tell me. What do you need to tell me?'' I came directly to the point. I needed to know what the Doctor had to tell me. The Doctor sighed and now fully turned around to look me in the eyes. ''I didn't tell you everything.''

''About what?'' I asked him.

''About your past.''

''But… But you said…''

''I didn't say anything.'' Note to myself: The Doctor apparently lies. Need to keep that in mind.

''Yes, you did… Never mind… So what did you need to tell me about my past? Another horrible war? Another dead family member?'' I said sarcastically. He looked a bit hurt because of my sarcasm, but I ignored it. After all of the things I had come to learn about my past, I just didn't think it could bother me anymore. I had heard many things in the last few days and it probably couldn't get worse.

''Another name.'' He just said. Then the meaning of his words slowly dawned onto me. Another name. Jessica wasn't my real name. I had a different name.

''What's my real name?''

''Your name is Nanori. Nanori Tilimare.'' I was speechless. What could I say? Suddenly I was someone else. I had another name. But that wasn't all of it. I had changed in these few days. I had been told that the person I thought I was, wasn't really me. The Doctor had cared for me all my life. And now I had a new name.

''Anything else that you need to tell me?'' I asked him. If there was something else, he would need to tell it right now, otherwise I would be really pissed. Like really pissed.

''No.'' He shook his head and looked me in the eyes. They were filled with guilt. I also shook my head, turned around and walked away from him. This time it was me who walked away and not the other way around.

I was lying on my back on my bed. Or rather matrass. These people here surely don't know how to make something comfortable. I groaned and shifted once again. There was just no way to lie comfortably for even a minute. I had been lying here for over two hours now, and my back was hurting like crazy. Maybe it would be better if I got up, but I just couldn't muster the energy to even sit. They should just make better beds and everyone would be a lot more flexible. But then again, Jedi had to get up early. If they were to have a comfortable, soft, fluffy bed to sleep on, getting up would be a lot harder. I had always had trouble with waking up. My brother and sister had always teased me. Sometimes they would even go so far as to throw a bucket of ice-cold water on my head to wake me up. Iris. Chris. How were they now? Were they wondering about where I was? Were they concerned? Probably. I had been away for a long time now. My mind took me back two years, to a good memory.

''What do you think of this one, Jess?'' My older sister asked me.

''Hmm… I'm not sure, Iris. I think it's a bit too flashy.'' I answered her. Looking at the dress she had picked out of the racks. We were shopping for dresses for the upcoming wedding of our cousin. We had already visited a couple of stores and I was tired. Very tired. But my sister didn't care. She had just dragged me along. I didn't know how she could enjoy this. I had never understood the joy of shopping. Just order some things online, so much easier.

''I think it will suit you perfectly.'' She insisted.

''Alright. Alright. I will put it on, but only to please you.'' I rolled my eyes and she smirked. She could be so persistent sometimes. So annoying. But I guess all siblings were annoying for one another. That's just what siblings do.

''Are you girls still not done?'' Chris, our brother, came walking towards us. He looked very bored. Chris was two years older than me and Iris had another two years on top of him. I was the youngest. They had always been protective around me. Their little sister.

''No. Still not done.'' I said teasingly. ''Do you have a suit, yet?'' I was very curious to see what he would look like in a suit. He had never worn one. When he had first heard that he would have to wear a suit to the wedding, he was pretty shocked. He hadn't liked it. Of course, me and Iris had laughed at him. We could already totally envision what he would look like in a suit.

''Yes, I have one, are you happy now?'' He answered my question with an annoyed look.

''Yep. Totally happy right now.'' I smirked at him and he just rolled his eyes. I stuck my tongue out at him and he acted like he was offended. Then we both grinned.

''So grown up, you two.'' Iris said with a motherly-tone. ''Jessica, go try that dress on.'' She was the oldest, so sometimes she felt like she had to tell us what to do and what not to do. We hated it when she did that.

''Yes. Mum.'' I said to her and walked to the fitting rooms. After a couple of minutes I stepped out in the dress that Iris had chosen for me. My brother and sister looked at me in awe.

''Wow, Jess, you look amazing!'' Chris said, still looking at me.

''Thanks, Chris.'' I blushed a little. I couldn't deal with compliments very well. They made me feel a little bit uncomfortable.

''You really do look stunning, Jessica.'' A voice behind me said. I twirled around and looked right into the eyes of Ryan, a boy from my class. I had fancied him for a while now. I immediately blushed again. Stupid blushing.

''Ehmm. Thanks, Ryan.'' He nodded. He still kept staring into my eyes.

''Jessica, I thought maybe you would like to go with me somewhere, next week?'' He shifted from his one foot to his other.

''Yes, I would love to Ryan.'' I exclaimed.

''Great! I'll call you.'' And with one more look in my eyes and a quick wink, he walked away.

''What was that all about?'' Chis asked, destroying the moment. He looked kind of angry.

''I think I know what that was about.'' Iris said with a big grin stuck on her face. ''Little Jessie here, has just been asked to go on a date.''

''What!'' Chris exclaimed. ''Nonono. You're not going on a date. You're only fifteen. I will not allow you to go.'' I sighed, Chris could be so protective sometimes. Well, I guess that's what big brothers do. And sometimes I really was grateful for that, he had helped me out of some nasty situations. But, right now, I didn't like this attitude at all.

''Chris, listen to me for a minute. Ryan is only a friend. I'm not going to do something stupid.''

''Fine.'' He grumbled. ''But if I find out that you do something…''

''I won't. I promise. I would never do something without your approval. Well, at least not big things… You know that, right?'' I looked in his eyes.

''Yes I know.'' He looked back in my eyes and I saw worry. He opened his mouth to say something, but he closed it again.

''What did you want to say Chris?'' I asked him. He looked a bit thrown off for a minute, but then a determined look entered his eyes.

''Promise me something, Jess.'' He said to me

''What do you want me to promise?'' I asked him. I was really confused by his expression and attitude.

''Promise that you'll take care of yourself and won't do anything stupid.'' He said softly. Wow. Where did that come from? Why was Chris so concerned all of a sudden? I hadn't expected this at all. Since when did he became so serious and caring? He was my big brother, he should be teasing me or making fun of me, but he shouldn't be doing this. It was almost creepy. Then I started laughing. He must be joking, right?

''Who are you and what have you done to my brother?'' I was still grinning, but I quickly stopped, Chris wasn't laughing. He looked serious. Like really serious. What was this all about?

''Promise me, Jessica.''

''I promise.'' I stammered. Still shocked.

''Thank you, little sis.'' He stepped forward and gave me a hug. I awkwardly patted him on the back. We didn't hug that often. This was just weird. What had happened to my annoying brother? Iris just stood there, a teasing smile on her face.

''What are you smiling about?'' I mouthed towards her. She shrugged and just pointed at us.

''It's okay, Chris.'' I pulled back.

''You did promise me, don't ever break your promise.'' He murmured in my ear. Then his smirk returned on his face.

''Looks like my little sister is growing up.''

I broke my promise. ''Sorry, Chris.'' I mumbled. ''I will come back to you guys.'' I squeezed my eyes shut and a tear fell from my eye. I didn't bother to wipe it away. I missed them. Their faces flashed through my head, one by one. Chris, his significant smirk on his face; Iris, looking very annoyed; My mum and dad, looking proud; A photograph of my grandparents on their wedding day; all of my family members and even Ryan. He gave me a wink. We had become great friends, more than friends, since that day. We hadn't yet expressed our feelings to each other, but we both knew very well what we felt for each other. Other people were calling us boyfriend and girlfriend, already. And we just let them, because we knew that it wouldn't be too long before we would call each other that as well. I smiled a little. Thinking of them made me happy, but more tears fell down. Oh, how I missed them. Iris came in view again, smiling at me. But then her face was replaced by a sad looking one. One of sorrow. A girl. I didn't recognize her. Who was this strange girl? Why didn't I recognize her? What in the world was going on here?

-Anakin-

I finally had arrived at Padmé's house. I was still thinking about the fact that Jessica knew about Padmé. How could she know about her? Nobody knew about our relationship, not even Obi-Wan. Although he probably suspected something.

''Where have you been?'' Padmé shouted. I plugged my ears. Wow, that woman could shout. ''You are an hour late!''

''I have an explanation for all this. Please, just listen to me.'' I lifted my hands in the air as sign of surrender.

''That explanation may better be good and come quick.'' She threatened.

''It's actually kind of a long story.''

''Well, get started right now, before I change my mind and kick you out of my house.''

''About a week ago, two people crashed into our ship. A man and a girl. The man calls himself the Doctor and the girl is called Jessica. They claimed to come from a planet called Earth. They went with us on the mission to Ryloth. Jessica was shot by a droid when we were about to leave the planet. She recovered, but with Ahsoka's help, I discovered that she was Force-sensitive. We thought it was impossible, because she didn't come from this galaxy. But she didn't actually come from Earth. She thought she did.'' I hesitated a moment. Was it my place to tell all of this? ''She is originally from Onderon. Her parents were killed when the droid-army invaded the planet. The Doctor took Jessica with him and gave her a home on this planet Earth. She had never been told of her real home. Since she arrived here, she has been having flashbacks. That's how she found out.''

''Oh, the poor girl...'' Padmé whispered. I wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

''I know. And now she has been having visions of the future. How she would become a Jedi by the side of Obi-Wan if she would stay here. Just before I came here, I saw her sitting outside the Temple, on the stairs, just sitting there. I talked with her. That's why I'm this late.'' I decided I wouldn't tell her about the fact that Jessica knew about us. Padmé would only panic.

''Okay. You have a good reason for being late.'' She laughed a little. But I still some sadness in her eyes. She was shocked to hear Jessica's story. And I couldn't disagree with her. It was a lot that Jessica had gone through these last couple of days. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up with some emotional trauma after all of this. I would have. I already did.

''Can't I do something for her?'' Padmé asked me. Of course, I could have predicted that question, Padmé always wanted to help people. Especially people like Jessica. And maybe she could help Jessica. Padmé was great at dealing with such problems and Jessica was only seventeen.

''Maybe. You could talk to her sometime, if she wants to.'' I said to her. I saw Padmé lighten up. The prospect of talking with Jessica in order to help her, was appealing to Padmé. But before she would get her hopes up too high, I had to warn her. ''But, Padmé, I don't know if she wants company right now. She seemed very reserved in the past few days. I'm not sure if she wants to talk about it. She's only beginning to understand it all. And we're also going to Onderon in a couple of days. I don't think you will be able to talk to her before that. But maybe she won't be here anymore after the mission.''

''But... That would mean that I will never meet her. Anakin, I want to help her.''

''I know, Padmé, and I want you to meet her as well. She is a great girl, she was very bubbly before this. She still has her moments, but most of the time she's quiet and reticent. But I just wanted to warn you that you may not be able to meet her.''

''I understand, Ani. I just can't imagine what it's like to go all through that at such a young age.''

''Me neither.''
