Alexa POV

Morning. Yeah. Need I say more?

I felt terrible, Skywalker had seen my weakness. I couldn't let myself make that mistake again, from now on I would have to secure the door with something else because obviously he can open locked doors with the Force.

My dream life is no one else's business, but mine and it seems my teacher doesn't understand that. He doesn't need to know what my life was like before I joined the Order, he just needs to worry about what happens after that, because I am never going back to the way things were. Never.

Sighing I dragged myself out of bed just in time to hear a knock on the door. I rolled my eyes before opening it to find other than my teacher standing there waiting for me.

'Yes?' I asked grumpily.

'Good morning, nice to see you're up.' He smiled.

'Whatever, let's just get started.'

'Alright, first we have breakfast.'

I nodded drowsily before walking out, having worn my cloak to bed last night I didn't need to remember to put it on so we headed straight to the mess hall. Today is my second day being a padawan and while yesterday had been good, I am beginning to regret my decision to become one. I still have this nagging feeling that I really don't belong here. All the same I got my food and sat down to eat it, my stomach growling wig impatience before I began shovelling breakfast into my mouth.

'So what are we doing today?' I asked.

'I noticed how much you enjoyed learning how to use a training saber, so I thought that we'd do that.' My face light up at the thought of more combat practise. 'I knew you'd like that.'

'Then what?'

'I have an excessive to help you connect with the Force, that we'll try after that.'

'Ok.' I nodded, noticing the smirk that lingered at the edges of his lips.

'Also, Rex will be training with us too.'

'A clone trooper?' I asked confused.

'Yes, you don't have a problem with that do you?'

'No Sir, but I'm just wondering how you intend to have him train with us.'

'You'll have to wait and see.' The smirk was now blatant and there for all to see.

Once we were both finished we headed to the training room to get started, I grabbed to sabers from the supply room and passed one to my teacher who then ignited it.

'Ok, so today I will teach you the Sai. It's mostly an evasive move where you have to jump to avoid someone cutting your legs off, think you can do that?' I nodded. So he swung the saber at me and I jumped high off the ground, pulling my legs up towards my body before landing perfectly.

To easy.

'How was that?' I asked.

'Great, now try this. Rex!' The clone ran in shooting his blaster at us, I followed Skywalker's lead as we wielded our sabers deflecting the shots in all directions and some back at Rex. 'That's enough Rex!' He stopped shooting and we lowered our guard. 'Nicely done my Padawan, you catch on fast.'
