Star Wars - The Untold Stories: Book 1

Chapter 1 - The Ambassadors

Since my mother died, the Jedi have been looking out for me. I had already begun my Jedi training with my mom. However, a mighty Jedi named Qui Gon Jinn offered to train me. The council did not approve. Qui Gon was very stubborn. He decided to train me either way. He wears the usual Jedi outfit. He had on brown boots, loose tan pants, and a tan shirt. He had long hair so he wore his hair up and on his belt was his light saber. His padawan, Obi Wan Kenobi wore a similar outfit. His hair was short and he wore a hand made clip in ponytail that came to the left shoulder. The hand made clip was a symbol of the padawan learner. Little did I know that Master Qui Gon had already been given a mission with his padawan Obi Wan Kenobi.

It was my birthday and I knew it. I had been waiting for months, but I was a little upset. With my mother's death so relatively recent, I was trying to keep my mind off of it. Qui Gon, as usual, was waiting in the living room. I jumped out of bed and ran out to see him. He picked me up and gave me a hug. He was like a father to me.

Jinn - Good morning Sunshine.
Me - Good morning Master Qui Gon. Do you know what day it is?
Jinn - Yes silly. It is your birthday.
Me - You remembered.
Jinn - Of course I did. Now for your present.
Me - What is it?
Jinn - It is not a thing. It's an adventure. I have been given an assignment by the Chancellor himself. I want you to come along.
Me - Really?!
Jinn - Yes. You, Obi Wan, and I will be going to Naboo. Make sure to remember your training and bring everything you may need. But do not over pack.
Me - Ok. I will get changed and do it right away.

As I head off into my room, Obi Wan came into the apartment followed by my Aunt. I was next in line to be the senator, but I was too young. Instead, Aunt Duffle became the new senator until I was old enough. However, I would not take my place in the senate. I  ended up exploring the universe. You may be wondering what I was doing on Coruscant. Aunt Duffle is the only other family I have. My mom's side of the family are all dead. Aunt Duffle went strait to her bed room with out saying a word. She was at a meeting all night. Qui Gon and Kenobi were talking. I listed quietly to the conversation while I packed my bag and got changed.

Kenobi - Good morning Master.
Jinn - Good morning.
Kenobi - Have you told her about our mission?
Jinn - Of course I have.
Kenobi - And what did she say?
Jinn - Now you are not going to be happy about this. I told her that she is coming with us. And she said thank you. She is very excited.
Kenobi - But Master-
Jinn - It's her birthday. She is coming. End of discussion.

I walked out of my room with brown boots on, tan comfortable pants, and a comfortable shirt. My hair was up in a bun and I had a small bag that I could convert into a backpack in my hand. I had a small gun holder on my belt with a gun in it. You must be wondering why I have a gun. Being a secret Jedi means no light saber. Now that doesn't mean I don't have one or that I don't know how to use one. I was able to make my saber differently. I made my light saber a 2 in 1 gun. When I wanted, all I had to do was quiet my mind to activate it. Most of the time it remained a gun. Did I forget to mention that I was an inventor. The room fell silent.

Jinn - Ready to go Sunshine?

I nodded my head. We left the room and started heading to the ship. Once on the ship, I immediately sat in my seat and strapped myself in. I hated flying. Well, I didn't always. I loved it when I was younger as a small child. Anyway, we jumped to light speed. It was a long ride. I think I feel asleep. After all, I was only 8 years old. Master Jinn came in and woke me up. Apparently I was having a nightmare.

Jin - Sunshine, Sunshine!

I woke up scared half to death not sure what I just saw.

Jinn -  Are you ok?
Me - Yes Master. I'm fine.
Jinn - Ok. Now we are going onto a Trade Federation ship for negotiations, so stay close. We will be arriving soon.
Me - Yes Master, I will. Master, I am having one of those feelings again.
Jinn - What kind of feeling?
Me - You know I can't say. Remember I have the ability to see everyone's future. However, I can not say. It is forbidden. There is also nothing I can do about it.
Jinn - Yes. I remember. But I feel the need to ask.
Me - Master, the feeling I have ... well it's hard to explain. As you know my feelings are always on point.
Jinn - What are you saying?
Me - I would appreciate it if you did not call me a padawan. For some reason when I was packing I had the urge to change my clothes. I now know why. I think I do at least. Please call me by my name.
Jinn - You are very wise for your age and strong with the force. And very well versed in language. Alright. I will call you by your name Harmony Duffle.
Me - Harmony is fine.
