Over the next several months, (Six to be precise) Carrie studied more of the Jedi teachings, learning more and more of the Galaxy each day as she did, all the planets, all the systems, All the different species and their languages and religions, she was fascinated with all of it, It was almost… like living in a never ending fairy tale, One beyond her wildest imagination, though she still had to work hard, it was basically school, but with a lot less… bother than before.
Her connection to the Force was also becoming more refined, She couldn't really levitate herself anymore, No Idea why, But she also eventually learned other abilities with the Force, To push, pull and levitate objects, Feel the force call out to her, And to evan sense her surroundings, The last bit was still a work in progress.
One day, Carrie was called in for another lesson with Master Yoda, She was running a bit behind though, after helping Madame Jocasta with a few younglings, as she hurried through the hall, she bumped into another Padawan passing by, sending him knocking into a wall in the process.
"Ow! Hey, watch it!" The Pedestrian called out, as rubbed his head, Carrie stopped suddenly.
He was a young handsome man, almost around her age perhaps, Dressed in a Black Jedi tunic, Black robes, Brown leather boots, and had Short Blonde Hair, with a Padawan strand coming from his hair, similar to the one Carrie and all other padawans gained.
"Oh!, Sorry." Carrie quickly stammered as she quickly helped him up. "I-I-I didn't mean to, I was just on my way to Master Yoda. "
"Oh, So your the new Padawan the Council accepted?" The young man asked, with a slight sardonic tone. "I've heard of you."
"You have?" Asked Carrie, She was aware that most of the Order had been aware of her, But the specifics were only shared with a few outside the Council, but they didn't know the full details, and as a result, most thought she was just some late bloomer from some backwater part of the galaxy, which was kinda true.
"Yeah." Responded the other padawan obstinately. "Word gets around quick here in the temple, Real quick, heh, kinda makes you wish that enough privacy was had, doesn't it."
Carrie just stared blankly at the guy before answering. "I have no idea what that even means."
""Yeah neither do I." Shrugged the Kid,
"Anakin!" called Another voice, at that moment, An older man came up, Clearly a knight or master, with a Brown beard and a tardy set of hair, set in a mullet.
"Ah, I see you've made new friends." The older man smiled wirily at his apparent charge, who just looked at his Master in surprise.
"What?" Asked the Boy. "She's not my friend, she bumped into me!"
"It was an Accident! I swear!" Protested Carrie, The older man just chuckled knowingly. "Oh no worries young one, Anakin here just gets a bit irked when he's "bumped around."
"I do not!" Whined Anakin.
Carrie chuckled, She was already beginning to like this Master. "Ah, Where are my Manners, Padawan?" Said the Master. "I am Master Obi Wan Kenobi, and this is my Padawan, Anakin Skywalker."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Carrie, Carrie white." Carrie replied, managing to smile, as she shook Obi Wan's hand, The Jedi Master and his Padawan were quite taken aback by the mediated enthusiasm.
"So, if we're being formal now." Said Anakin. "What planet did you come from?"
"Um…" Carrie didn't respond for a moment. "Corellia, you probably know that right?"
"Yes, We heard as much." Obi-Wan admitted.
"You sure?" Asked Anakin curiously. "You don't exactly look like you're from Corellia."
"Anakin!" Obi-Wan Chastised.
"No, I-It's fine." Said Carrie. "Anyway, It was nice meeting you both, But I have to see Master Yoda now, See you later."
And with that, Carrie walked off, As Anakin and Obi-Wan watched on.
"Well she seemed nice." Siad Obi-Wan.
"Kinda weird though." Said Anakin. "I sense she's hiding more than she's willing to tell…"
Later.
Master Yoda sat in his chambers in meditation, A small bundle sitting in front of him, He awoke suddenly, When Carrie quickly entered the Room.
"Sorry, I'm late Master." Said Carrie. "Got a little side tracked…"
"Hmm, Lost on the way, were you?" Questioned Yoda.
"You could say that." Carrie shrugged.
Yoda gave the girl a knowing look before Carrie spoke again.
"So, You wanted to see me Master?" She asked as she sat down in front of him.
"Hmm, Yes, Well has your training come so far." Said Yoda. "Ready you are, for the next step."
"I am?" Asked Carrie.
"To connect with the Force, much time it would take for most." Said Yoda. "But you, Already established a link in a few short months you have, Time for a new chapter in your Journey it is."
"What Chapter would that be…?" Carrie asked, Not sure what Yoda was saying.
Yoda simply motioned to the Bundle in front of her, Carrie undid it and found a small Lightsaber within it.
"Is this…?" Carrie had not received her Lightsaber yet.
"Yes." Nodded Yoda. "For a more civilized age, An Elegant Weapon you will wield in time."
