Legend of the Jedi Princess 2: A Skywalker-Jinn Miracle

Spell Searching

Gabby looked through her spell books once more.

Things had really taken a huge turn now that the new baby, or rather babies were finally born. As expected, Anakin and Padme were busier now.

Gabby was no longer the youngest child in her family. With there being five kids now, she was officially the middle child of the family. Oldest to youngest, counting all five Skywalker kids, the order was: Boba, Omega, Gabriella, Luke, Leia.

Anakin didn't have as much time to play with Gabby, ride Sapphire, or spend time with the elder pair of twins. So, if Gabby and her older siblings wanted adults to play with them, they were left to turn to their aunts and uncle, their grandfather, and sometimes the Jedi, as long as they weren't on babysitting duty while Padme and/or Anakin were resting.

In the meantime, Gabby was doing more digging to figure out a spell that could restore the temple.

Thanks to the videos Esther helped the Jedi with, and some extra help from the royal family and Carmine doing another Count Crescendo livestream regarding the Temple, a HelpFundMe page was set up, and the family and the Jedi raised enough donations to buy the property themselves.

Gabby knew rebuilding with a magic spell would be difficult, but also quicker than relying on the construction crews alone.

But... she wondered if she should cast the spell. As crowded as the palace was now, she actually liked having the Jedi live with them. It was like having an even bigger family. She could be with her honorary uncles and aunts, her friends, and the other horses all the time.

But then Gabby remembered how devastated the Jedi were to lose their home. She remembered how she felt when her parents told her they were moving out of their penthouse. By now, someone else probably moved in. Unlike her old home, the Jedi were forced to flee their home, much like Abuela and Abuelo Madrigal had been.

"As sad as I'll be to see them go," said Gabby. "Part of being a Jedi and a child growing as a person is... learning to let go. Even though I won't see them all the time, they'll still be here."

Gabby continued to read her book of spells and she found one that could restore buildings. But, it looked rather complicated.

This spell required this set of ingredients:

1. A design of how the building looked before

2. An item that connected to memories within that structure

3. Power from happy memories created in that structure

4. True heart's desire to restore the place

5. Optionally, a drawing of any additions one might want to add to the structure.

Gabby got to drawing a picture of the Temple and started getting some fun ideas.

A big spinney slide that went all around the Jedi Council's tower and ended in a ball pit like this little slide she rode at this play place for little kids Padme took Gabby to once for a birthday party. It would be a ten times more fun way to exit from meetings with the Council than just taking the elevator.

"Ooh! I should tell the others about this!"

So, Gabby showed the spell to the others and her drawing of the Temple with a bunch of slides.

"We can rebuild the whole thing with this spell," said Gabby. "And we can make it better than ever."

"How exactly?" Ahsoka said.

"Well, for one thing, more Jedi have been getting matched with horses since the Code was changed. You have Fiesta, Daddy has Sapphire, Uncle Obi-Wan has Peppermint, and who knows when more Jedi will get horses and how many."

"Well, you can add me to the list." Carmine said, walking in with Harmony. "I just got mine."

"Got matched with him this morning." Harmony said.

"The Temple could probably do with a corral of its own for the horses to run around." Obi-Wan said.

Mace had to agree, and so did some other Jedi.

"It would lessen the horses running in the halls." said Master Koth.

"I still have hoofprints on my tail from those horses racing in the hall." said Master Rancisis, the snake-like Jedi.

"We said we were sorry." Crescent and Remix said in unison.

"And rebuilding the playground to fit with some of the bigger kids would be cool too." Boba said, drawing a picture of the playground with some bigger slides, swings, and monkey bars.

"What about staircases that turn into slides?" Lamenta suggested. "Like the one in the Madrigals' house?"

"And maybe some skylights for nights of stargazing." Caroline said.

"Like the night we decided to elope." Carmine smiled, kissing his wife.

"What about a real music room?" Remix said, drawing a picture. "The younglings would definitely benefit from learning more about music."

"How exactly?" Mace asked.

Harmony stepped up and said, "It's well known that children who practice musical education have higher self-esteem, better well-being, motivation, builds confidence, improves concentration and discipline, enhances creativity and intelligence, and can boost ones social and cooperation skills."

"It would make it easier for me to practice music while at the Temple too." Carmine said.

"Maybe we could also see about getting some new toys for the nursery and playroom." Anakin said as he bounced Leia. "Once the place is fully restored."

"Solar panels could also help with saving electricity." said another Jedi.

"Can you even cast a spell like this?" Aayla asked, looking at Gabby's spell book.

"Didn't you say that spell you used to revive your grandfather take a ton of energy out of you?" Rex asked.

"I lived. So did the others." Gabby said. "And I won't cast it alone. I just need time to gather the right ingredients to cast the spell. This one requires not just an enchantment spell; it requires a potion too."

Gabby turned the page and showed a complex-looking recipe for a potion the spell required.

"Wow... that's a lot of magical chemicals, plants, and natural elements." Sapphire said, getting a glimpse of the potion.

"It may take a while, but in the meantime, everyone needs to gather memories." Gabby said. "Boba, that means we'll need you to work your magic with some memories. Find any happy memories everyone has with the Temple. The more memories and the happier they are, the more power they'll generate."

"Okay." Boba nodded.

"Everyone else. Dig deep. If you have anything that holds a memory you made at the Temple, use it. The more we can connect with what's been lost, the stronger the chance of restoring our home will be."
