Sucked Away: Star Wars

IV

Okay. Now I knew where I was, and now I was treated a little bit like a criminal.

First thing that happened after I stated, "I know where I am:" I get hit with this from Anakin, "Oh? NOW you know where you are? So where are you?"

I looked him square in the face and said, "Star Wars." You can guess how that went.....

"Star Wars? What is "Star Wars!?!"

Now I had to explain myself, except I wasn't sure how to do that since Ahsoka and Obi-wan were just plain confused and Anakin looked like he wanted to throw another box at my head. I looked them all in the eyes, individually of course because I don't have 6 eyes, sat up a little straighter, and said a little disjointedly, "I'm.....I'm not from here."

Obi-wan jumped in, "Well that much is obvious. You are nothing like the natives on this planet."

Um......how do you explain something like this? "No. That's not what I meant........ I mean that I'm not from........ anywhere....?"

Okay. That didn't work.

"The you simply move around a lot, with no planet you call home?" Ahsoka asked, trying to be helpful.

".......No. I'm supposed to be here......."

"We know. That's why we were trying to find out what you were doing here," Anakin stated like he hadn't hit me the head with a box and probably would have ripped head off had Obi-wan not stopped him.

"It's not that! I'm not....... I'm just........ I don't........exist."

I don't know if you've ever told someone that you're not supposed to exist before, but believe me when I say that that sentence ends up blowing up in your face! I didn't think it would lead to the Jedi Council getting involved. But I'm guessing you're wanting to know what lead to that. So I stated that "I don't exist." Everyone stared at me for a moment, looked at each other, and then started firing questions. What are you talking about? Are you insane? (Anakin: "I told you she was insane!") How did you get here? Are you SURE you're okay? Do you remember where you're from? Did Anakin really hit you in the head THAT hard? What planet are you really from? Why don't you tell the truth? Who do you think you are?

In the end, Obi-wan, who hadn't said anything the entire time, stroking his well groomed goatee stopped Anakin's yelling and said, "This must be what Master Yoda was talking about?"

Everyone all together (me included): "What!?!"

"The disturbance in the force........"

Again, everyone all together: "What!?!"

He pulled out a communicator. A little blue Yoda popped up on the little circle in his hand. "Master Yoda," he started.

"Obi-wan, a problem having you are?" Yoda replied.

"We have run into an obstacle."

"Obstacle?"

"Yes."

"Show me you will."

Obi-wan held the communicator in front of my face. I'm assuming Yoda saw me, because he said, "Hm. Troublesome this is. Bring her in front of the council, you will."

Obi-wan's reply, "Yes. Thank you, Master Yoda."

"Welcome you are." Then the communication ended.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared at this point. Anakin looked more than happy to drag me by my left ear onto their ship just so that I'd confess to something that I didn't even know about in the first place!! I mean, he had this look like "Ohhhhhhhhhh-you're-in-trouble-now!!!!-The-council-is-sooooooo-going-to-break-you!!!!!!!" It was a little scary. Obi-wan now had this worried look on his face, like I was going to unintentionally blow up the world. Ahsoka didn't really seem to have an opinion. That's understandable though. Anakin was acting a doofus-brain and Obi-wan was being all mysterious and was deeply pondering! So, she was caught between two extremes, and I suppose her reaction was the best since she couldn't reason with either of them at the moment (they were being pretty stubborn).
