SGC and the Force

Chapter 9: The Big Secret

When Barbara told everyone at the Mansion the great news, everyone nearly hit the ceiling. Emily and Ben wanted to be a part of their Uncle's ceremony.

"When we talk with Sofith, I am sure she will
work it out for you two can take part,"
Jerry said to them.

"I want to be the one who tells him he is a Jedi,"
Emily said.

Ben said,
"I want to escort him on stage."

Barbara asked,
"So you two have it all planned out?"

Emily and Ben said,
"This is what we want to do for Uncle Brandon."

"We all will talk with Sofith and the others. I'm sure
they can come up with a way for you both to do just as you want.
The biggest thing we need to do is to keep this a secret from him,"
Christi said.

"He isn't even here. How can we tell him?"
Emily asked.

Her Mommy looked at her and said,
"That's true, but we want to surprise him and Sam."

He replied with excitement,
"They will be Earth's first two Jedi Knights. Cool!"

His Grandmother said,
"It's very exciting. That's why we have to be
very careful not to let them know what we are doing.
Sam only knows this is for Brandon."

He asked,
"What can we do to keep this a secret from them?"

His Mother answered,
"It's true he's not here, but he'll call us from time to time.
We need to be careful not to get too excited about
what's being done for them."

"I understand. If we act excited as we are now, he will figure out that something is going on,"
Ben stated.

Jerry said, "We know how observant he was before they
found him in Atlanta. With his abilities with the Force,
he would figure the whole thing out in no time."
If I understand Barbara's expressions right, she thinks
he should be the first Jedi of Earth. Trust me, love; I do, too.
Could we have the ability to use the Force? It may explain
why Brandon is so powerful. I just don't know.

"I only want to see him excited when I tell him
he is a full Jedi Knight,"
Emily said.

Christi said to her Daughter,
"That's why it's so important to
keep this thing an enormous secret."

It was Kavreesh who came through the door.
"Congratulations, everyone. Sofith just told me the great news.
She wants all of you to meet her in Cairo, Egypt.
She's having Sam and Brandon all over Argentina
doing many Jedi presentations. This Jedi event will
be in New York City. With everyone working on it,
we should have it ready in a few months. I have the
Furor on the front lawn, so if everyone can get packed
and ready to go, we can set off."

As everyone was getting packed for the trip, Kavreesh showed Emily and Ben around the Furor.

**********

In Argentina, Sam did her best to keep her Padawan occupied. She did it in a way that made sense to both of them.
"We will be very busy as we travel throughout this country."
Sam said,
"Since we don't do the same presentation every time,
I want something unique and special."
What she did not state to him is that she wants him
to practice on those elements of his Jedi training
that he needs to work on to become a full Jedi Knight.

As they boarded their private jet, Sam told him the plans
that Sofith had for them, "She has us booked for several
cities in Argentina, South America. Our first stop will
be in Buenos Aires. We'll be staying there for four days.
Then we'll be going to Cordoba. She will have us there
for three days. After that, we'll do a one-day show
for Bahia Blanca, Rawson, and Rio Gallegos.
Our last stop will be in Rio Grande. There we'll stay for
only four days. That will be two weeks."
