Star Wars: Connection in the Force


Inevitable Nightmare



Chapter 5


Nothing in her life had prepared her for this.

Everything in her life had told her how to run, and to not die. But nothing had ever prepared her for this bombardment of kindness that had been sent Saytani’s way. Every moment was so incredibly alien to her, she could barely let out enough words to talk. She was shy towards it, but in all these moments; all these people were welcoming her as a friend, and not a slave.

Even if she could not show it, Saytani was happy beyond her years.

First the Jedi Order had welcomed her with open hands and saved her, but they had also given her a person that would show her everything.

Saytani awoke to a quiet sound of someone shaking her. She opened her eyes to see her new roommate, Negis Artanis, shaking her awake.

“Miss Sakura…” he was muttering really quietly, “please wake up”

He was a boy that was 6 years of age, ginger hair that was short but long enough to have a tied-back, 3-inch tail in the back and a traditional Padawan braid on the front-right of his head.

Saytani, feeling well-rested, immediately got onto her knees fairly quickly when she realized he was shaking her, which startled Negis.

“M-master Negis,” she just barley got out of her mouth as she rubbed her eyes.

He was obviously surprised to hear her call him “Master,” but he then said, “Miss Sakura… well, um… it’s time for the tour… that I’m supposed to give you.”

He sounded sincere but uncertain and shy… definitely shy. She knew when someone was shy since she had to listen to herself all day. His face was also flushed a bit. She thought it may have been because her pajamas were a little lose on her, but it wasn’t really the time to think about it.

“O-ok, Master Negis,” she was again barely able to say.

She asked him to wait outside (which he did reluctantly), she changed into her new robes, came out of her room and he began the tour.

One good aspect that excited her was that both of them would get to talk now. Last night when the Order had accepted her, it was straight off to bed, with no time to converse. And Master Negis Artanis was talked about by the council several times during her test, so he must be really popular! Though she didn’t really expect him to be 3 years younger than her. The question could not help but pop into her head, how can he be powerful as they said?

Saytani hoped that she would get to find out more about him.

After a few minutes and questions through a tour of the Temple, Saytani decided that now was when she would get to know him.

“So, um,” she choked out as they walked towards the Knight sparing area, “I uh, heard the Council…talking a lot about you, Master Negis.”

Startlingly, he stopped and looked at her with shock in his eyes, “What?! Th-the Council?! Talked?! About me!!”

He calmed down into a slouch and started walking again, and she followed.

“Well…” he started, “I… bah!! Talked about me? Preposterous! Are you sure they talked about me?!” He did not try to mask the disbelief and amazement in his voice.

Saytani actually giggled innocently and even more innocently said, “Nope, it was definitely you.”

“W-O-W,” he laughed a normal person’s laugh except she could just feel the hint of maturity in it.

She finished giggling, let the moment set in, and spoke again, “Well… it seems to me that you’re some kind of famous person.

“Aw, well I am not anything special. I mean compared to someone like Master Windu…”

“But out of all the younglings! The younglings! They said you were the best!” It was strange, she felt like she was trying to and failing to give a depressed person pep talk. He seemed utterly convinced that there was nothing special about him, despite what the Council said.

And the Council doesn’t lie.

From then on in the conversation, she attempted with out letting him know that she was observing him entirely. It almost seemed unnecessary to do so, but it came by instinct to someone that grew up in a cess-pool.

And what she found out was intriguing. It was obvious that he had experience with females since his chivalry was overwhelming. But he was still shy a bit, like he was hiding something. She didn’t want to pry at his secrets, though. But he seemed to be a closed book, and all she knew about those people is that they are either depressed, or in love.

It was probably just depression. But what had made him this way must have been big. Larger than even he could have handled.

Or he was in love. Probably not though. There was no doubt in her mind that there was no way in the Force that he would be in love with her. It was even against the Jedi code, and he would never break that, would he?

But she had heard old stories of Jedi breaking the rules and falling in love… so maybe?

Wait! What was she thinking!? It was almost as if she hoped it to be true! No, she can’t just start going off fantasizing about something like that! She had to focus!

Realizing that she had spaced out, she shook her head and paid attention as Master Negis sighed and said with exhaustion, “O.K, we are here.”

Beckoned her to stop all of a sudden, smirked and said, “Sure you want to see something like this? Because it might be a little too much.”

She looked around the corner and gasped.

The Jedi Knight training room was enormous. It was almost as big as the main chamber and she looked at like a horizon. A hundred or more Jedi Knights practicing in unison. Their swift movements practically dazing her.

“Whoa,” she gaped.

“Heh, when I was new, my tour guide said the same thing and I couldn’t handle it either,” he said right beside her. He sounded like someone twenty years older.

“Y-yea, that’s definitely something.”

He nudged her with his elbow and patted her on the back softly, then looked her strait in the eye, “Heh, don’t you worry, I can see in your eyes that you’ll get used to it.”

She felt her face blush all over. She just now noticed his eyes were deep sea green.

‘HE’S ONLY SIX!!!!’ she screamed in her mind, which helped calm her down but not rid her of the massive blush.

He looked back at them and smiled, “You know, I always like coming here at this time of day, watching them train. It always reminds me that we’re going to be like that some day. I could barely imagine it at first.” He looked completely different then, serine and happy with a smile as he put his hands in the sleeves of his Jedi robe. Somehow it calmed her down and got rid of her blush.

At least she now knew that he could be stop being shy when he could relate to her. He must have been shy earlier just because she was new; obviously he was much more charismatic now. Or he had been uncomfortable earlier and had now forgotten it or just gotten over it… aw well she didn’t know. And she didn’t want to think about it.

She wanted to see the rest of the temple now.

And she did, and it was amazing. A home like this. People who are this kind. She could not believe that it was going to be hard work, it was too wonderful. But of course, all the work she had already done in her life had never been rewarded, so this must be a new experience.

And Master Negis was wonderful to.

That night, she could barely sleep, filled with too much excitement. Master Yoda had said that Negis was only going to be her roommate for the night she was given the tour. Since it took only a day, she would wake up tomorrow she would have to choose whether to stay or go.

She would make sure that she could stay as long as possible.
It's the first steps into becoming bff's :sniff:

Hope you :heart: it!!:)

Seems a little like the jedi apprentice series. You should read it just for personal style comparison. I have the whole collection if your interested.
