The Aris Tyra Story {Ongoing}

Episode 2

The room I walked into was circular. At one end was a curved table, the remaining Jedi Masters; the ones who had not chosen padawans yet were sitting around it. There were only a few remaining Masters sitting at the table; including Mace Windu, Yoda, and about 7 others. "Aris, sit down." I had hardly noticed the small wooden chair facing toward the table. I sat down and Master Windu looked over a small holo-screen. "You came from Mandalore, yes?" I nodded, trying to swallow the giant lump that was forming in my throat. "How long have you been at the temple," Windu asked putting his holo-screen down. I cleared my throat, numbers wooshing around my head,

"Um..... 11 years." Windu nodded. Yoda spoke up,

"Decided your master, we have," I nodded again, "We believe that Master Windu, suit you, he will." I felt my face relax. The masters gave me a few moments to process the information.

"Collect your things and head to the youngling common area. Leave the pillow and 1 blanket, you may take any extras. Your master will meet you there and show you to your new room." Windu finished and gestured to the door.

"Thank you," I said quietly and headed out.

"Who did you get?" Violet said as I came out of the room. I beamed at my friend and spoke,

"Master Windu!" I said happily. Violet hugged me and sat down again. I went out the other door as I heard,

"Violet Tyra!" I closed the door behind me and started to walk through the semi-empty halls.

-- IN THE DORMITORY --

I stood looking at the small double room me and Violet shared. After a while, I opened the small cupboard and took out the small bag that I had used the day I arrived at the temple. It had a small loth-cat on the side, chasing after a porg. I smiled as I remembered packing it and running down the house stairs with a clatter. Saying goodbye to Father and Mother and then racing out to join the Jedi off to my new home. I started packing up my spare pairs of Jedi Robes. As I was packing up my extra blanket. Violet came in. She looked slightly confused but happy nonetheless.

"So... who'd you get?" I questioned, Violet smiled slightly as she pulled out her bag and started packing,

"Well... I've never really thought about who would be my master. I hoped that it would Master Shaak Ti or Master Windu. But I got Master Yaddle!" I found myself making a noise of surprise. Violet laughed, stuffing a cloak into her blue and purple bag. "We've gotta go to the youngling common area. I thought we'd go to the padawan area!" Violet continued. I sniggered, "None of us know where it is!" Violet stuffed the last of her stuff into her bag and she joined me at the door. "Shall we?" she said, opening the door,

"We shall," and we did.

-- YOUNGLING COMMON AREA --

We walked into the large common area. Most of the padawans were already seated or standing around the room, small bags being clutched or sitting on the floor. I noticed Obi-Wan sitting in a corner; pouring over a holo-screen. We walked up to him and sat down at two empty chairs beside him. "Whatcha looking at?" Violet asked trying to peek over the top. Obi-Wan sighed slightly and de-activated the holo-screen. He shoved it into his bag,

"I was looking at information on Master Qui-Gon. Speaking of Master's who did you guys get?" he quickly changed the subject,

"Master Windu," I said happily,

"Master Yaddle," said Violet. "Don't suppose you have any information on her?"

"You'll have to go to the archives for that." Obi-Wan shook his head.

Violet shook her head, "Damn it! I wanted to be out of the archives by the time I was a padawan!" she groaned slightly. We laughed. And then the Masters started to arrive...
