Chapter 9

-Jessica-

We stepped out of the Tardis, and we were immediately surrounded by some pretty angry looking people. They were all pointing their weapons at us. They were sitting on these weird creatures. A mix between a horse, an elephant and an antelope. They were actually rather funny to look at.

''Who are you?'' A female voice said. We turned around and saw a woman, she acted like she was the leader of this group.

''I'm the Doctor and this is Je-'' He had almost said my Earth-name. ''Nanori. Nice to meet you.'' The Doctor introduced us with a big grin on his face. We had agreed with the Jedi to introduce me as Nanori and not as Jessica. There would be less questions that way, or so we hoped.

''What are you doing here?'' Her voice still as firm, despite the kindness the Doctor was showing. At that moment I heard the gunship flying above us. I looked up at the sky and saw the three Jedi and Captain Rex jumping down onto the ground.

''Well, actually we were waiting for our friends here,'' he gestured towards the Jedi and the Captain, ''to arrive. Now they can continue this conversation.'' The Doctor then stepped back and nodded at Ahsoka, a sign for her to continue.

''I'm Commander Tano, and these are Generals Kenobi and Skywalker and Captain Rex. We're here to help.'' I heard some people murmuring hopefully ''Jedi.'' Hey! Don't forget us. The Doctor also looked a bit offended. But he gave me a quick wink and I gave him a small smile. We would have to wait.

''I'm Steela. Follow me.'' The woman, who had spoken to us, gestured to follow her. We were walking in the middle of the group. Four before us, four behind us. The scenery around us was simply jaw dropping. There was no other word to describe how beautiful it was. I was walking on my home planet, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I was already feeling more like I was home. Everywhere I looked there were trees and all kinds of different flowers. Birds were everywhere around us. It reminded me a bit of that time I was in Borneo, for a project for school. It made me long for home. Earth. My family. But I quickly shoved those negative thoughts and feelings away. This was my home. Shouldn't I be happy to finally be here? But I wasn't feeling happy at all. That face in my head appeared again. That girl's face. I had no I idea whose it was, but I didn't want to see it. The girl looked accusingly at me, with sorrow in her eyes. She mouthed words, but I couldn't understand them. I shook my head to get rid of this awful picture. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder.

''You alright, Jess?'' The Doctor was walking right next to me, looking concerned.

''Yeah… I'm alright…'' I mumbled and walked a little bit faster to prevent him from seeing my face. I wasn't alright at all. I didn't know what was happening to me, but I had to figure this out myself. The Doctor couldn't help me. No one could help me. I was alone.

After about an hour we arrived at a sort of ruin-complex. Apparently this was their base. I couldn't say it was an impressive-looking base. Not to mention the defensibility of the complex. It was full of holes, it would be easy for enemies to locate weak spots. But I kept my mouth shut. It wouldn't be very smart of me to comment on their weird base. We needed to keep them as friends, not make them our enemies. They needed our help, not our criticism. On the other hand, these people were my people. I felt the need to warn them and protect them, although I knew I couldn't. But shouldn't I say something about it to them? Maybe it would help.

We saw a young man on top of some creature, flying towards us. All in all, the base didn't look very welcoming. He stared intently at me, but I avoided his gaze.

''So what do you think of this, Jessica?'' The Doctor asked me. He had been walking besides me for about ten minutes now, in silence. At first he had tried to get me talking again, but I didn't answer his questions, so he gave up.

''What do I think of what exactly, Doctor?''

''Well, your planet, the nature, the people, this place?''

''I don't know. I mean... the flora and fauna is beautiful, everyone can see that. So far the people have been a little cold, but I didn't expect anything else, they are threatened every day by the Separatists. I can't blame them for being a little suspicious of us.''

''But, does it feel like home?'' the Doctor turned to look me in the eyes.

''Well... That's the part I'm not sure of... I have lived on Earth my whole life, how could this feel like home?''

''This is where you came from, this is your home. But I can understand you see Earth as your home.'' He gave my hand a slight squeeze of encouragement. We halted our conversation, because we had arrived. There were a lot of people standing around us. They looked unorganised. That would probably be the first thing that had to change.

The man on the flying creature landed before us and got off the creature. He gave a slight nod to Steela and they both turned to face us.

''General Skywalker.'' He acknowledged Anakin.

''This is General Kenobi. Commander Tano. Captain Rex. The Doctor and Nanori.'' Anakin looked at me for a second as if to ask for my consent to use my original name. It would be less suspicious so I gave him my approval by nodding.

''Saw. Saw Gerrera.'' The man introduced himself. Once again he looked at me. I smiled a little and surprisingly he gave me a smile back.

''He's my brother. He fancies himself the leader, but no one else thinks so.'' Steela nudged him with her shoulder.

''Well, for now we're in charge. There's a lot of work to be done here.'' Anakin said. We split up and I was about to walk to the Doctor to ask for some water, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I swung around and looked right in the eyes of Saw.

''Uhm... Hey.'' I greeted him.

''Hi.'' He smiled at me. Almost flirtatiously. ''So, Nanori, where are you from?''

''Long story.'' I muttered. Why was he trying to get a conversation going with me? Shouldn't he be with the rest of the rebels, listening to the plans of Anakin and Obi-Wan?

''You aren't a Jedi, you don't have lightsabers. Yet you have a long weapon on your back and you seem overly familiar with this Doctor person. Tell me a bit about yourself.'' Why was he so curious? I didn't have anything to do with him.

''Leave me alone.'' I grumbled and walked away from him. I shot one last glance over my shoulder at him. He looked astounded. Clearly, he didn't have any experience with people not answering his questions. I shrugged and walked towards the holo-table, in the middle of the ruins. Anakin, Obi-Wan, the Doctor, Ahsoka and Steela were already there. Slowly more rebels joined us. After a couple of minutes, Anakin cleared his throat.

''We're going to show you how you can destroy the separatists. They come in great numbers, but aren't very smart.''

''Remember. We're not here to fight this war for you. We're only here to show you how you can fight this war efficiently.'' Obi-Wan intervened. Glad he cleared that up for them. I looked around the group of rebels. My eyes met the eyes of another girl standing in the back. With a shock I recognized her face. This was the girl that had been haunting me in my dreams. I quickly looked away, but not before I saw the tiny spark of recognition in her eyes. Great. She really had something to do with me.

''Captain Rex.'' Anakin nodded to Rex. A sign that he was allowed to take over.

''I need volunteers to guard the north-west.''

''Shouldn't be a problem.'' Saw said. The group split up and I walked away. I saw Ahsoka walking next to Lux. I knew what they had been through together, because of the TV series. But Lux looked a bit overly familiar with Steela.

-Anakin-

We had been training the rebels the whole morning. We had shown them how to take out tanks and it went pretty well. Some rebels were better than others. You could clearly see who had had training before and who hadn't. But we would get there. I was confident that we could win this war. Correction: they could win this war. We weren't here to fight this war for them, only to help them get better chances. I had to remind myself of that over and over. Obi-Wan had highlighted it numerous times. But it was just so normal for me to do the fighting. While I was thinking this, I watched the group of rebels. Ahsoka and Jessica had become part of the group, quite fast. However, it looked like both of them weren't fully comfortable. Ahsoka had shared some glances with that Bonteri-kid. Lux, that's his name. He was the son of the late Separatist senator Mina Bonteri. I didn't like him. I didn't like the looks they were sharing. Almost the same glances I shared with Padmé. Still, Ahsoka was focused and doing a great job. Jessica on the other hand, seemed lonely, lost. She was home, but she didn't look like she felt at home. She kept avoiding the rebels and in particular one girl. What was wrong? I also had noticed that Saw had tried to get Jessica's attention, but she had turned him away. I decided I should go talk to her. I walked over to her, but when I arrived there, the girl, whom Jessica had been avoiding, came into view. She was walking directly towards Jessica, looking very determined. Maybe I should let them talk. She probably wouldn't appreciate it if I joined in on their conversation, so I walked away. I would talk to her later.

-Jessica-

I saw her walking towards me. The girl who had haunted me in my dreams, how could I not recognize her? But who was she? I was kind of nervous to have a conversation with her, maybe she would be mad. She had looked very accusingly in my dreams.

''Hi.'' I greeted her.

''Hey.'' She said back and then she did something totally unexpected, she hugged me! I awkwardly hugged her back. Why was she even hugging me? After a couple of minutes she let go of me and took a step back to look me over.

''Nanori? Is it really you?'' She asked me.

''How do you know my name?''

''They introduced you, silly. But is it really you?''

"How do you mean 'is it really you? Who are you exactly?'' I had to know. I just had to. I had gradually developed a certain thought. But that couldn't be true, could it? Wouldn't the Doctor have told me anything about something like this?

''Nanori. I'm Cyana Tilimare.''

''You... You are family...'' I stammered.

''I'm your sister.'' She said softly. Tears came to my eyes. She began to tear up too and quickly hugged me again, so I couldn't see her face. We stood there for minutes. She pulled back a little bit and smiled. I gave her a small smile too, and then she wrapped her arms around me, once again.

-Anakin-

I saw Jessica hug the other girl. They were both crying. I was about to walk towards them to ask them what was wrong, when I saw the smile appear on both of their faces. Clearly, everything was alright. But who was this girl and why was Jessica hugging her? Did they know each other? They couldn't know each other. This was the first time Jessica was here. Maybe I should ask her about it later, but for now, I had leave them alone. It looked like they had a lot of talking to do.

-Jessica-

We had walked away from the rest of the rebels. I had seen the Doctor and Anakin looking at us, but they would get an explanation from me later. Cyana had said that she wanted to talk to me about something and I had agreed to go to a quieter place.

''What did you wanna talk to me about, Cyana?'' I asked her.

''I just wanted to ask: Where have you been all this time and why have you shown up now?'' I sighed, now came the hard part. I hadn't known about her, until an hour ago.

''Cyana... You have to understand that...''

''No! Why did you leave me back then?'' She almost shouted. Tears were streaking down her face. Tears were shining in my eyes.

''I didn't leave you.''

''Yes, you did. You were gone by the time I got back. I thought you were dead. My little sister, dead.''

''I'm sorry Cyana. I was only four. The Doctor had rescued me, but he didn't know about you. If he had known, he would have taken you too.''

''Are you sure about that?''

''Yes. Very sure.''

''But where have you been living? Why didn't you come back?''

''I didn't remember what had happened. My memories came back when I was with the Doctor. I didn't know about you. Or about this planet. I couldn't come back, because I didn't know all of this existed. I have been living on Earth with my family.''

''Earth? Never heard of that planet before. Where is it?'' Cyana asked.

How did I explain this properly? ''Ehmm… Earth is in a different galaxy. On Earth they aren't really proficient with space travel.

''Okay… I think I get it.'' She replied, but she sounded unsure. ''Do you feel at home there?'' She asked.

''Yes. I do.''

''But, do you feel at home here now?''

''That's a very difficult question. I actually don't know.''

'"Yes, I understand. But you've found me now. You're going to stay here with me, aren't you?'' She asked me this, looking at me with a silent plea in her eyes. I understood why she didn't want me to leave, but it was such a hard choice. Now I had found my sister, I didn't know if I should stay here. I didn't want to leave her alone, but Earth was my home...

''I understand. It's difficult. But I just thought... because you found me, you would stay here. With me.''

''I'm conflicted, Cyana. I have a brother and sister at home. I love them.''

''I'm here for you, Nanori.'' She said to me and she looked me deep in the eyes. There was still some hurt in them, but they were mostly filled with love.

''Thanks, sis.'' I said sincerely and I hugged her.

''Come on. It's getting late. We should go to sleep.'' She gave me a hand and we stood up.

Time to get some rest.

Cyana and I had just woken up, and we were planning to go meet the Doctor. I hadn't spoken to the Doctor yesterday and I already felt like I missed him. In such a short amount of time he had become such a big part of my life.

''So, Ri, who's Ryan?'' Cyana asked me. I turned red the moment she mentioned his name. ''Aah. I see. Someone special.'' She gave me a wink and grinned at me.

''Uhmm... Well...'' I stuttered, then I realized something, ''How do you know him?'' I asked her. I was sure I hadn't told her about him.

''You were saying his name in your sleep.'' Her grin only became bigger and I blushed even more.

''So who is he?'' She waggled with her eyebrows, ''Someone I must know about?''

''He's my... boyfriend.'' I finally managed to get out.

She squealed happily. ''My baby sister has a boyfriend!''

''Oh please, don't do that. And, well, never mind...''

''What is it?'' She asked me, but I knew I didn't have to speak my mind.

''No. Forget about it.''

''No, I won't. I can be stubborn too, you know.'' I gave her a soft smile, but still didn't answer her. ''I know we only just met, but I'm still your sister. You can tell me everything, Nanori, please tell me what's bothering you.'' She laid her hand on my shoulders. I sighed, knowing that she wouldn't stop going on about it. I had to tell her about my fears.

''I don't even know if I will ever see Ryan again.''

''You will see him again, I'm sure of it.''

''But, what if I stay here? I won't see him again. I won't get the chance to get to know you better.'' She didn't say anything about it and just gave me a side-hug. After a couple of minutes she began to giggle.

''What's so funny?'' I asked her in confusion. I was still thinking about Ryan.

''You'll have Saw.'' She said with a mischievous grin.

''What? What do you mean?''

''Haven't you noticed?''

''What should I have noticed?''

She sighed dramatically. ''Oh please. You must have noticed how he has been looking at you. Ryan must have looked at you that way too, all the time.''

''Wait. You mean he's flirting with me?''

''Yes! Finally you get it!'' She began to laugh and I couldn't help but laugh as well. But then something hit me. She was talking about Saw taking the place I had always imagined Ryan would have.

''Excuse me for a minute, Cyana.'' I gave her a kind nod and walked away. I needed some time alone to overthink everything.

Turns out, I would never get that time. I was called by Anakin and Obi-Wan to train alongside the rebels. They said I needed some practice as well. All the while, the Doctor was just wandering about, playing with his screwdriver. He would observe from time to time, but would always walk away to inspect a plant of any kind that had caught his attention. Sometimes... He was just driving me mad. But I had to admit, the training wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The Doctor hadn't want me to train with the rebels, but I had to get better was I to stay here. The Doctor had tried to persuade me a dozen times, but I was too headstrong to listen to him. I trained with Cyana, quickly building a bond with her. I had seen all three Jedi looking at me and Cyana. I knew what they were thinking: 'Who is that girl? Why is she working with Jessica? Why do they look so at ease with each other?' I also knew that when the training was over, they would ask me in person. They were far too curious to let such things just pass by as if they were nothing.

Ahsoka came walking towards me, after we finally got the time-out signal from Anakin. I was tired beyond words. Anakin really knew how to let one sweat.

''Hey.'' I greeted her, a bit out of breath.

''Hi.'' She grinned. ''Having a little trouble with catching your breath?''

''It's not funny. You're used to the training, I'm not. You can't blame me for being tired.''

''Okay. As soon as you have caught your breath, I want to talk to you about something important. Anakin and Obi-Wan wanted to talk to you, but I thought it would be better if I was doing the talking.''

''This sounds serious.'' I tried to sound like I had no idea what she wanted to talk about. Of course I already knew the reason of this conversation. And I had to say that I also preferred to have this conversation with Ahsoka, rather than Anakin or Obi-Wan.

''It's about the girl you have been training with. You seem very comfortable around her.'' Ahsoka said.

''She's nice.'' I only said. I was reluctant to tell her that Cyana was my sister, but maybe I would have no choice. I didn't know why I hesitated to tell them, it was just a feeling.

''There's more to it than that. I'm nice company too, but you haven't been training with me at all. I had to deal with Saw the whole time.''

''I know. And I'm sorry for that, I guess.''

''No, you're not sorry. There has to be a bigger reason for you to spend the whole day with her. And, besides, I think Saw actually wanted your attention, not mine.'' She smirked.

''Ahsoka. Please don't say things like that, I don't want Saw's attention. I can't deal with that right now.''

''Jessica! You keep avoiding the real subject of this conversation. Who is she?'' She asked again, sounding irritated. But I remained silent. As long as Ahsoka wasn't really angry at me, I wouldn't reveal the secret.

''Oh, now we're going to stay silent? I'm just trying to help you, Jessica. Don't you see? You're a great friend and I want to help you. I saw you crying earlier.''

I sighed, knowing that she had me. ''She's my sister.'' I whispered.

''What? Say that again.'' Ahsoka looked me in the eyes. I saw disbelief in her eyes.

''Cyana is my sister.'' I repeated. Shock was still evident on her face, but there was also understanding.

''Now I understand. Thank you for telling me, Jess.'' That was the first time she had shortened my name. I gave her a quick friendly hug.

''Go tell Anakin and Obi-Wan. They look very anxious.'' Anakin and Obi-Wan were looking intently at us. Ahsoka laughed a little and gave me a wink.

''I won't tell them just yet. It's your surprise to tell. You'll tell them when you're ready.'' She said to me.

''Thank you, Ahsoka.'' I gave her another hug and this time she returned it.

''So what's up between you and Lux Bonteri?'' I asked her with a mischievous grin. She looked embarrassed for a moment.

But then she returned the favour. ''And what about you and Saw Gerrera?''

''That's not fair! I asked you first.'' I exclaimed.

''As I remember it, I asked you a question you wouldn't answer just a few minutes ago. So I think have the right to remain the silent, as well.'' She had me there.

''What about Saw?'' I asked her innocently.

''You know very well what I'm talking about.'' She gave me a nudge with her shoulder.

''Okay. Yes, I have seen his looks, but I really don't know what to do with them.''

''What to do with them? You should have a conversation with him.''

''Why?'' I asked her. It would only make me think more about Ryan. And home sickness wasn't really what I needed right now. Of course, Ahsoka didn't know about Ryan.

Ahsoka looked surprised. ''You ask me why? Of all the people, you ask me? I'm a Jedi and even I know these kinds of things.''

''Ahsoka. I can't.''

''Why not? He's a pretty nice guy. Arrogant, but kind. It's not like you have any restrictions.''

''Actually I do.'' I murmured.

''You mean the Doctor? Is he overprotective? I don't think he would mind.'' She laughed a bit.

I shook my head. ''I don't mean the Doctor. I have a boyfriend at home, Ahsoka.''

''Really?'' She sounded excited. ''What's his name?''

''His name is Ryan.''

'' He's probably very different from Lux.'' She said his name almost in a whisper. ''I don't suppose you can help me with him.''

''You have feelings for him, don't you Ahsoka?'' I asked her softly.

She sighed and nodded. ''I don't know what to do. I know that as a Jedi, I'm not supposed to let my emotions control me. I have to ignore them. But it confuses me, because we are supposed to be compassionate. And now, I see Lux with Steela, and he looks happy...''

''I know, Ahsoka. I know. But as you said, you are a Jedi. You are bound by the Jedi Code.'' I said. ''And, honestly, I don't think I can help you with this. I am allowed to act on my feelings and I don't even know what to do.'' Then I grinned a little bit. ''But if I were you, I think I would be happy at the times that I would be with him and be happy for him when he's happy, even if that is without you. I know that's hard.''

''Thanks.'' She offered her hand and pulled me up. ''Let's go. We have more work to do.'' We walked towards the two anxious Jedi. I looked around for the Doctor and I saw him looking at a bird, he even had his glasses on. I decided not to disturb him in his... observation.

''So... Jessica, what's with you and the rebel?'' Anakin asked immediately.

''Nothing. She's nice company.'' I answered simply.

''It's true, Master. She's a nice girl and Jessica just enjoys her company.'' Ahsoka affirmed.

''Oh.'' He sounded disappointed. It took everything in me to not start laughing. I saw Ahsoka was also trying her very best to not burst out in giggles.

''Girls.'' Anakin grumbled and he walked away. Obi-Wan gave us a wink and walked after him. When they were out of hearing-distance, Ahsoka and I burst out in laughter.

A/N: Already someone has asked me how to pronounce Cyana's name and I'll make it clear for you now. It's pronounced: Sie-ana. At least, that's how I imagined it. Tell me what you thought about this chapter! See you next time.
