Alright guys I must admit I was a little disappointed that I only got three comments from two people on my last chapter so I'm really hoping that I get more for this one! Ok there's one more thing, I've decided to actually use proper speech marks! Dun dun duh! So from now on I will be using " " instead of ' ' (shocking I know, but hey it was bound to happen eventually, right?) Oh one other thing, towards the end of the chapter you'll see * * I'll explain what they mean later on. Anyway here's the next chapter, enjoy!

Alexa POV
"So you think you're ready to have your own real lightsaber then?" Anakin asked.
"You don't?" I questioned, raising one of my eye markings at him. "Come on Anakin you know I can handle one, please let me go to this... Gathering thingy."
My teacher chuckled as did Rendal and I glared at them both. "Ok Lex, first I'll explain to you what the Gathering is and then I'll go ask Master Yoda to take a look at your skills and see if you're ready to build your own saber, ok?"
"Alright so tell me all about this 'Gathering'."
"Well let's find somewhere to sit and I will." He nodded and we went to Anakin's room. Once inside he invited us to sit on the floor with him before he proceeded to explain what the Gathering was, along with some help from Rendal.
"The Gathering is a rite of passage, it is meant as a lesson to teach young Jedi to overcome their own personal fears in order to find a kyber crystal attuned to their Force presence in the Crystal Caves of Ilum. Trust me it is a big deal." Rendal explained.
"I have no doubt of that. So when do I get my lightsaber?"
"Once you have your crystal you then begin learning how to build your lightsaber on the way back to Coruscant." Anakin replied.
"Ok, so where do I sign up?" I asked eagerly, making the man chuckle.
"I'll go ask Master Yoda to come and visit one of our training sessions and he will decide if you are ready to attend the Gathering."
"So go ask now! Pleeeeeeaaaaase?" I tried to use my best puppy dog eyes.
"Alright, alright I'm going."
"Yes!" I grinned and my friends laughed. "Now come on, let's go practice more." I grabbed Rendal's hand and dragged him back to the training room.
"Really Lex? We don't even know if Master Yoda is going to be watching you today." My best friend whined as I grabbed a training saber and prepared to engage him in a duel.
"Well it's better to be prepared than not, isn't it?"
"I guess so...."
"Hey do you want me to win this bet with Kira or not?" I asked glaring at him, he immediately nodded vigorously.
"Yes! I want you to win, you have to!"
"Then help me do that!"
"Ok, ok!"
"Unless you really don't want to.... I could always use the simulator."
