"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…"

Shiraya's blue eyes twinkled as she added the finishing touches to her new prank. Scarlett was keeping an eye out outside of the chamber's doors and Saachi was making sure that no member of the revered High Council would step fifty feet within the entrance of the council chamber doors.

"Remind me why we're going through with this?" Saachi's voice rang through her head, her voice slightly displeased, considering the fact that she had gotten scolded and landed in trouble with her father after she was caught in another scheme of theirs.

"It's harmless, live up a little, Chi," Scarlett snorted, faint amusement was ringing through their force bond. Which only had gotten stronger as the years went by, especially three years ago, when they had clasped their Force Bond necklaces, as they liked to call it.

"Sithspawn, Scar, we're pulling a prank in the kriffing Jedi Council, may I remind you that Masters Kenobi and Skywalker are also on the council?" Saachi groaned once again through their Force bond, she really didn't want to go back to Mandalore and watch the council fight over stupid decisions.

As Saachi and Scarlett continued their small bickering, Shiraya grinned in triumph.

This ought to do it, just after I wire this mechanism and set the countdown, it should be able to set it off once the sensors pick up the seats being filled

Tinkering slightly, nodding in satisfaction, Shiraya put her tools away in her bag. Holstering it up on her shoulder.

"–I'm just saying, why must you be a stickler for the rules?"

"My parents don't even stick to the rules, Scar–"

"You guys finished?" Shiraya interjected, joining their conversation which made the two instantly quit their bickering.

"Yeah." The two answered in unison.

"Good, I'm done, let's leave before they come back." Shiraya replied.

Shiraya met Scarlett outside and they raced out to meet Saachi down the corridor. They giggled, talking about missions they so hoped to be sent on when they bumped into Master Windu.

"Master," the three bowed respectively, which he nodded.

"Skywalker, Kenobi, Bonteri, how is the training?"

Saachi smiled, "it's going well, Master Windu, our masters have taught us well."

"I'm pleased to hear it, if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting with the council," Mace Windu gave them a small, unnoticeable smile, and went on his way.

Peeking until the Korun master was out of sight, the three girls let out a relieved sigh.
"That was too close," Scarlett groaned. Shiraya just smirked a Skywalker smirk.

"Oh no…what did you do," Saachi was quick to accuse.

"Whenever a Skywalker smirks, whether they are of blood or married into the family, never trust they have the best intentions. It will always mean chaos and disaster for you and/or for others," Obi-wan had told her a few months ago, but he made sure to help her distinguish the different varieties of Skywalker smirks.

"Nothing, nothing, let's go, I'm starving," Shiraya linked her arms with her two best friends, and together they walked to the cafeteria chatting away in delight.

~S~

"I sense a disturbance in the Force," Mace Windu said as the Jedi Masters took their seats. Yoda's ears flattened against his head.

"The Force has been peaceful since Palpatine's death, and the Jedi Code has changed. Why would the Force be once again disturbed?" Ki-adi Mundi exclaimed in disbelief. Anakin closed his eyes, searching, waiting, hoping. His connection to the Force has been stronger, full of light rather than dark.

Obi-wan stroked his beard, "It has been almost two decades since the sith's destruction…where is this disturbance coming from?"

"The disturbance, far into the Outer Rim, I feel," Yoda spoke up, everyone's eyes snapped to the old, wise Grandmaster. Anakin shuddered a breath, he too, can feel the Darkside growing.

"I believe we should meditate, see if the Force will allow a hint to be shown to us," Anakin finally said, Obi-wan gave a grin despite the grim mood of the conversation.

"You? Suggesting meditation? In all your twenty years of being a Jedi Master, this will be the first time you've ever suggested it," the auburn haired master quietly laughed. The other masters cracked smiles and shook their heads in amusement.

"Why, Master, that is simply not true," Anakin retorted.

Obi-wan opened his mouth when a loud popping noise exploded throughout the room. A malodorous smell shrouded the room, causing the masters to cough violently, they all escaped out the door.

"What was that!" Stass Allie cried out in shock.

Anakin covered his face, making a beeline towards the back of his chair and pulled out a bomb. He ran back outside, shaking his head to rid himself of the smell.

"It looks to be one of my children's contraptions. By the looks of it, it was designed to set off at a certain time to release…this dung smell," Anakin explained, a slight smirk pulling at the corners of his mouth. Genius, but unfortunately at the wrong time, he mused thoughtfully.

Mace had a frustrated look on his face, though he did hold a soft spot for the offspring of Skywalker and Kenobi, their tricks always made him want to set off in hiding.

"Skywalker, your daughter is a bad influence," he grumbled.

Anakin laughed, "I'm not the parent who can sway the hearts of millions, Master Windu, I assure you."

"You'd be surprised," Plo Koon insisted, his fingertips pressing together in a triangle motion.

"Gather back, until the smell wears off, we will. Until then, watching every corner, I will, make sure I will not be the next target, I must," Yoda chuckled lowly, hobbling away from his fellow masters, who all bowed as he left.

The masters dispersed. Each of them with thoughts weighing heavily on them.

~S~

Scarlett grumbled, class was exceptionally boring today. The feelings of joy that they felt after their prank was a success was short-lived. They had forgotten about classes at the temple, which was an utter bore.

Even though she's a padawan to the Ahsoka Tano, her mother, she has very few missions she can join. Peace has reigned for 19 years but that doesn't quell the adventure she absolutely craves.

Closing her eyes, she searched for her friends' Force presence, finding the mischievousness a comfort to her weary soul.

"Padawan Bonteri, is there a reason as to why you're sleeping in my class?"

Scarlett snapped her head up from the desk, a sheepish grin appeared when she saw the stern gaze the Jedi teacher sent her.

"You will be given extra homework for this…stunt," the teacher turned around and continued talking to his students, ignoring the way Scarlett gaped at him.

Bantha poodoo.

Scoffing, she copied the work from the board until her pencil broke in half.

Blinking in confusion, she looked down at her hand when she noticed her necklace glowing.

What?

~S~

Red.

It was a beautiful color.

Power.

Evil.

Love.

All describe this one color. How can this be? No one knows. Most don't want to know, apparently.

"Shir-aya," a voice gasped, pain was evident. The girl whipped her head sideways, searching for the one who called her name. She took a step forward and looked down. Strange. There was a puddle of water here. Looking around, she must have been in a very shallow pond, for the water stretched out for miles.

"H-help…m-me."

"Who are you? Come out. Now," Shiraya took out her lightsaber, holding it out, ready and waiting for someone to pop out and strike.

A young boy, not much older than she, walked out of the red mist.

He came closer and took her face into his hands, yellow eyes staring into her blue ones. There was a strange gleam into them, they made her shiver but as she continued to stare into them, she felt comforted.

"W-who–"

"Don't speak. Not yet."

Shiraya removed his hands, "don't touch me, I don't know you," she settled her lightsaber to his stomach, preparing to light it if necessary.

A smirk rose, "you'll regret that."

The rest mist started to swirl in a fast pace, enclosing the two of them.

"NO."

Eyes shot open, Shiraya noticed that the teacher and students were staring at her, mouths hanging open. But one person caught her attention.

Her father.

"Padawan Skywalker, are you alright?" The teacher ran forward, "you were heavily induced in a trance, luckily Master Skywalker was here to bring you out of it."

Anakin came closer, his eyes looking at her with worry, "Aya?"

Shiraya could only cough as an answer to their questions. Tears blurred her vision, what happened? Who was that? Inside her black robes, she felt her necklace pulse, she grabbed it unconsciously making it calm down. She looked up, noticing that her father and teacher were still awaiting her answer, going the easy route, she shook her head.

"C-can I be excused? I…need to meditate…"

At this, Anakin frowned, he knew his daughter like the back of his hand, and she hated meditating. Something that the two bonded over much to the amusement of his former master and padawan.

"Of course," the teacher smiled softly at the girl, she turned to the Jedi Master, "thank you for your assistance," the older woman bowed, which Anakin returned. Following his daughter out, he grabbed her hand. But she just ignored him, leaving him alone in the hallway.

~S~

"Calm yourself, your mind is too erratic right now," Obi-wan instructed softly, making Saachi roll her eyes, which was impressive considering she had them closed.

"I could feel you doing that," he commented, smirking slightly.

"It was the will of the Force, Master."

"You're starting to sound like Anakin, my dear," opening his eyes, he found his daughter doing the same.

"I spend time with his daughter, she's bound to pick up habits from him, and I'm bound to pick up habits from her."

Chuckling, Obi-wan supposed he couldn't argue with that logic, he better not tell his former padawan though, Anakin would surely have a fit if he ever found out.

"Now, how about we train, yes?"

Saachi was about to nod when her chest glowed.

The auburn haired master quickly reached out to his daughter, worried.

Pulling out her necklace, Saachi could only stare at it. What was this?

Deep in her mind, she wondered if Scarlett and Shiraya were having the same problem.

"What is this? What's going on?"

"I-I don't know, Dad, this has never happened before."

Obi-wan and Saachi stared at it a little while longer until the glow started to fade. The two looked slowly at one another, one was looking determined, the other, in realization.

~S~

Though Coruscant was a planet with nothing more than buildings. Many people took it upon themselves to make gardens, claiming that this planet needed to see a color other than gray. Shiraya found herself agreeing with them. The Uneti tree was beautiful, at least on this dreary planet.

She fiddled with her necklace, breathing in and out. In and out. She felt better now, she supposed air did her good, though she wished she could be on Naboo or Scarif, those planets were the best for meditating or just clearing your head.

"Never a dull moment with your family is it, Skywalker?"

She chuckled but didn't turn to see who the voice belonged to, she didn't need to, how could she forget the voice of her best friend since they were in diapers?

"It's a dual package, Kenobi, excitement and Skywalker just blend together."

"Ha! Try chaos and Skywalker," Saachi slung her arm over her friend's shoulders.

Shiraya smirked, "that too. Where's Bonteri?"

"Grabbing snacks. We were looking for you, so I suggested she grab food and I grab you. Wanna head to our Skenteri Sanctum?"

The female Skywalker nodded, she needed to tell them. She couldn't tell her father, for he would only freak, how could she tell him that someone had invaded her mind? A boy no less.

"Great. Let's go."

They left the Great Tree, with the leaves dancing alone in the wind.

If one ventures inside the air ducts of the temple, there they will find secret passageways to multiple rooms. Including the Jedi Council.

The three girls were almost positive that only they knew of the passageways, or else everything would've been sealed shut. At least, they were the only ones of this generation to know of the passageways.

Walking side by side, Kenobi and Skywalker were content with the silence. They let their feet take them to their destination, where a door led to a large room underneath the temple.

When they found this room, it had been unused for centuries and the girls felt it to be their duty to clean this room and use it as their hide-away.

The Skenteri Sanctum.

A variety of snacks was placed on a cushioned rug. Scarlett did well on her mission.

"Not one person looked my way, it was as easy as taking candy from a youngling," the girl grinned, obviously proud.

Saachi laughed, "I'm not sure what the masters will say to that, Scar."

Scarlett only shrugged, uncaring of what they thought.

Feeling better already, Shiraya grabbed a small handful of chocolate covered cloudberries.

"Mhmm," she sighed in content.

This is what she needed.

"So…"

"Mind telling us why our necklaces glowed?"

"And why you had a freak out during class?"

Freezing, her eyes widened, Shiraya hadn't known that their necklaces glowed…at least, she didn't remember. Maybe that's why she felt it pulse earlier. She told her friends she was the only one who didn't see it glow, making everyone already more confused than they already were.

Saachi hummed, "interesting," her hand went to her chin, copying the motion she so often sees her father do on numerous occasions.

Plopping herself on a comfy bean-bag chair, Scarlett noticed that her friend's cheeks were tinted pink.

"What's got you blushing?"

Shiraya coughed, "nothing really…I was just thinking…"

Silence remained, one eyebrow and one white mark were raised, prompting her to continue. Sipping her faeri juice, Shiraya blushed and murmured her answer.

"A BOY!?"

"Shhh, quiet!" Shiraya giggled.

Saachi and Scarlett glanced at each other before delving into giggles themselves. Oh dear, whatever was going to happen now?

"Do..do you think it could be a dream? Maybe you saw him from somewhere," Saachi panted, taking a swig of her water to calm herself down. Snorting, the brunette disagreed claiming she never saw him before.

"What about a vision then? Like one of the future?"

Slowly turning their heads at the Togruta, their jaws dropped, making Scarlett look at her friends weirdly.

"What? Shira is a Skywalker and it's common knowledge that they tend to be more prone to having Force visions than other Jedi," shrugging, Scarlett simply smiled.

"Well, she is right, you know..."

"Yeah, but still...who is he?"

"The Force will reveal everything in time, Shira," Saachi patted her friend on her arm, though was quickly betrayed when Shiraya smacked a pillow to her face. Sputtering and gasping, Saachi used the Force to call upon a pillow and thus started a pillow fight.

Scarlett only shook her head, "amateurs," and proceeded to whack her two sister-like friends in the face.

They will figure it out tomorrow, they still have the rest of the day to waste. No use of figuring out who this mystery boy is.

Hello! Sorry for the long wait, I have so much to do, with this story and the others it's a hassle. Anyway, if you have any questions and/or requests, lemme know! Chao!
