The Earthly Jedi Knights

Chapter 20: Where She Belongs

As she was sitting in her favorite chair, in her home, Sam came to realize it did not take long for her to get the hang of what has been going on. To her surprise, everyone realized it was her than the Sam that they have been dealing with before they blended as one. "I wonder if I'm so transparent, or do I give off something that allows people to know things?"

JN-620 came up to her. He said, "Excuse me, Your Highness, but there is an important message from Master Tumok Brugnat." He handed her a pad device. What was written made her smile big time:

~~~~~

Welcome back, Your Majesty. Once I heard the marvelous news, I wanted to state my welcome to you. I know that in one of the many realities you have been in, I trained you. I didn't train you in this reality, but I want you to know you're welcome to our family. Dysenya and I have an exceptional love for you. There is nothing we would not do for you. As you know, you will face grueling times as you continue to fight the Dark-side. Please come to us if you need comfort. May our love guide you to everlasting joy.

Master Tumok Brugnat

~~~~~

After reading it, Sam replied to JN-620, "Thank you for this. I think it will help me more than you could ever know, my dear friend."

It perplexed him in what she called him. He said, "Thank you for calling me that, but I do not understand why?"

Sam smiled, "I have the memories of the one that was kidnapped, put into slavery, and tortured. If it wasn't for the JN-620 — in that reality — she wouldn't have made it. She could talk to you — an impressive deal. You were after all the first person she talked to about what she faced."

He replied, "I am only a protocol droid. That JN-620 must have been something special to help her through all that."

Still smiling, "Yes, he was, and you are no different. That was why I called you, my dearest friend." She paused for a moment and said, "if you will allow me, I think it would be right for me to share with you what you meant to her."

"I agree."

She grabbed both hands of the droid and closed her eyes to concentrate on her task. Seconds later, a faint but noticeable glow covered the droid. Moments later, he said, "OH MY! What she went through was indeed horrible."

She said, "Yes, it was. What is worse for me, I feel everything she went through, just as strong."

He said in a worrying voice, "I see why you have shared this with me."

"I might not if it weren't for Master Tumok's message. It was as if he knew everything she went through."

Just a few feet behind her, Tumok said, "I did."

She turned around to face him. She asked, "How?"

He smiled, "Your sister came in that reality and brought me to this one a few days before you came to us."

"And you said nothing?"

"I told you, I thought I knew you, but no, it was not the time then for what I will say to you now."

She smiled with a little confusion in her voice, "No offense, but it will be hard for me not to call you, Master."

"Not at all, Your Majesty. I didn't train you. I trained her."

"That won't help much. Like I just told JN-620, It felt as if I was her." Sam walked outside to the front porch swing. She said, "oh my goodness! This swing looks exactly like the same one..."

Tumok interrupted, "The one your counterpart went to after her frightful dream of what seemed to her that everyone at the SGC was running away from her."
