A/N: I don't own any characters, photos, songs, or anything except for my characters, Storm, Jinx, Alotren, Maya, Tâtsâ, and Veda.

~23 BBY~
I was eighteen years old and a Jedi Knight. I wore my typical Jedi outfit consisting of a green tabard made of Ottegan silk over a black tunic, a utility belt, a long dark brown robe. Currently I was practicing lightsaber training with one of my best friends, Anakin Skywalker. His Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, another good friend of mine, and my Master Stass Allie were watching us train. Master Allie was a female Tholothian with a dark complexion and green patches, and indigo colored eyes. 

Anakin and I used training lightsabers so we wouldn't hurt one another. We then stood cautiously waiting for the other to make a move. Finally Anakin made the first move, lunging forth. I quickly dodged, retaliating by swinging my lightsaber. He raised his lightsaber meeting mine. We pushed forth with all our might until we pushed each other back. I took my time, watching his movements until Anakin ran over to me, raising his lightsaber. I swung my lightsaber, clashing mine with his. Anakin grinned. "You've been practicing I see."

"Just a little." I shrugged. "It keeps me from getting bored."

"Or from getting into trouble." Master Allie commented, causing Obi-Wan to chuckle.

"She could give Anakin a run for Republic credits. He's always getting into trouble." Obi-Wan said.

"But I've saved your life countless times on missions." Anakin protested.

Obi-Wan pretended not to hear Anakin's words. "I think that's enough training for one day."

"Hey! You know it's true, Master." Anakin exclaimed as he made his way to his master.

"I agree with Master Kenobi." Master Allie chimed in. "You two should head to the refectories to eat something."

I tried not to laugh as Anakin shook his head in an attempt to not crack a smile but failing. "Fine, I'll remember that next time you're in trouble. Storm, you coming?"

I nodded before heading out of the training room with Anakin. I've known Anakin since he first began his training under Master Kenobi. Once we reached the refectory, we grabbed our food and sat with Kina Ha, Gida, Tarom, and Thox Kinrac. Kina is a Jedi Master and an genetically engineered Kaminoan from Kamino. Her Jedi Master was Jedi Master Kras'dohk. Thox is Kina's padawan, he's a male Falleen with green skin, a ridged skull, and long, black hair, which he pulled up in ponytail along with his padawan braid. Gida is a Jedi Knight and a Twi'lek from Ryloth. She has green skin with brown eyes. Her master's Master Mace Windu. Tarom is a Togruta from Shili and Jedi Knight. He has red skin with blue eyes. Tarom's Master is his very own aunt, Shaak Ti. They were all good friends of mine since I first began my training here.

"How did training go?" Tarom asked.

"Yeah, who won?" Gida inquired as she leaned in.

"No one won this time." I replied.

"Yeah, our masters believed we had enough training and suggested us to rest before one of us could beat the other." Anakin explained. "And for the record, I was very close to winning."

I snorted. "As if. Had our masters given us another minute and you would've been on the ground."

Anakin chuckled. "Keep dreaming, Storm."

"By the way where's Maya?" I inquired as I looked around the refectory.

Maya's my twin sister. I had two other siblings as well, Jinx and Alotren. Jinx's my older sister, who's a Jedi Knight just like Maya and me. And as for Alotren, he was taken from us years ago by the Dathomirians. I feared for the worst and assumed that he may have either been killed or worse...brainwashed to serve the Nightbrothers.
