Dakota Nova walked along the hall to her quarters, ready for some sleep. As she walked, she reflected on her past. Her training as a youngly had not gone so well. She always seemed to be getting blamed for stuff.
One time, a prank was set off, aimed for Master Yoda, but it hadn't work. Instantly all eyes turned to her. Dakota had not been the one to blame for that, but she remember the hate from the other younglings. A Jedi isn't supposed to hate, but that didn't stop the kids. All the people around her, mocking her, and telling her she was gonna be a petty "Sith". Being called a "Sith" was like being called "week"! She despised that name. She wanted so badly to just run away.
Then there was another time where they had gotten their Lightsaber crystals. She was the first to complete her Lightsaber, but when she turned it on, it was red. Red as a Sith's saber. The mocking kept coming. Even the Jedi who has helping them called her a "Sith" and told Master Yoda to expel Dakota.
After that she was shipped to another group of younglings. Thankfully Master Yoda was kind and let her stay and continue her training. The next group of younglings wasn't any better. They were on a ship, and the ship crashed. The Pilot said that they crashed because someone had used the Force to stop the engine. Of course everyone blamed Dakota, but none of the accidents were her fault!
After that Master Yoda had decided to personally train her, himself. Then he asked her if she would like to become a padawan. Dakota remember that conversation word for word.
"Young one, greatly advanced in your training, you have. Believe you are ready to become a padawan, I do." Master Yoda had spoke.
"Really? Who would be my Master?" Dakota had asked anxious.
"Asked Obi-wan to talk to Young Skywalker, I have."
"Like the General Skywalker? Best General Leader EVER!"
"Yes. But a bit overdramatized, you are."
"Sorry... Its just... I know what happened with his old padawan. He most likely won't want a new padawan."
"Wise, Young Skywalker is. Make the right choice, he will."
"It would be really dangerous..."
"If not ready, you are, rethink, we can."
"No! I'm ready. I can do it."
"Meditate on it, you most."
"Yes Master Yoda." Then Dakota had walked out and went for a walk. By that time she already knew what she was gonna do. She was going to say yes. Who wouldn't say yes to being THE CHOSEN ONE'S PADAWAN! She went back to Master Yoda and told him she would be Skywalker's padawan, if he wanted one.
A few days later she had gotten the news that Skywalker had actually said yes and was willing to take on a new padawan. Dakota was so surprised that he had actually said yes, she didn't even know what to do, so she just sat there. Eventually everything happened and she got to where she was now.

Dakota finally snapped out of her thoughts and went off to bed. Tomorrow she started he first official day as Skywalker's padawan. She had a lot to look forward to. Dakota laid down on her bed and went straight to sleep, excited and ready for the next day.

Anakin walked out of his star fighter and went into his and Padmé's apartment. He then went straight to bed. He, of course got hardly any sleep, for he was dreading the next day.
