Tython and Sam Carter

Chapter 3: Family

One day, Skyma caught her twin sister slumping in a chair. After she looked at her, Skyma smiled.

"Sorry for the gloomy outlook." She sighed, "I don't want others calling me Your Highness. A few that came to me have, and they were strangers."

Skyma replied with a giggle, "You never liked others calling you... by your royal title... strangers or not."

"I also remember being a schutta about it too. Sorry about that."

"Nothing to be sorry for, Sammy."

She gave a bigger smile, "You always had a way to get me out of my despair. I would like to know how you do it."

"Nothing magical, I assure you. I guess... us being twins, I can know how and what you think."

"Then what do I do? If this royal title is some kind of honor status, why am I..." She realized what her sister meant by being a fusspot over her royal title in her other life. With a bit of confusion in her voice, she said, "what is going on here? How can I be a little girl and have this royal status on me? There is no way I could do all this for the ancient Jedi Knights while being that young."

She smiled and said, "That's better." She sat down beside her and continued, "You see, little sister, when you grew up, as you are now..."

"You mean, in retrospect, I have done nothing?"

"Yes and no. Despite Chari's vast knowledge of time and space, there is always something... hmmm... how do I say it... unique regarding your life."

She rolled her eyes in despair and said, "More splendid news."

"With you, my sister, it's the best news to be told."

"You better start at the beginning."

She just sat there, quiet as the grave, and that spoke volumes.

"NO BLOODY WAY!! I was the beginning?" She looked around as she was looking for something specific, and asked, "Where is he?"

With a confused look, Skyma asked, "Whom are you looking for?"

"The rabbit from Alice and Wonderland."

Skyma laughed, "Dan go ohsi korjan, dan si'mori foh. «You are not dreaming, you goofy human.»"

She looked at her and replied, "Ho si'k'al Do ohk go a si'mori Cme'as. «At least I am not a goofy Twi'lek.»"

They both laughed at each other.

After laughing, Sam said, "How much I missed those times. We were always doing something silly for the other when... things like this were always causing me to be a fusspot."

"Somehow I always knew what you were thinking."

"What is bothering me the most... my life has changed so unexpectedly. I don't know what to do. I want to run to Jack and have him hold me, but I don't want him to get hurt over what has been going on in my life. It will continue to get goofy until I deal with this."

Out of nowhere, Jack's voice said, "I'm here for you, Sam."

As if she could feel his location, she moved like a streak of lightning towards him, "I'm so sorry that I have..."

He put his right index finger over her lips vertically and said, "It isn't your fault. Who wouldn't freak out with all you have been experiencing?"

She put her forehead on his chest and said, "That's true, but it wasn't right for me to abandon you."

He put her arms around her and said, "I'm here now, and I won't let you go."

"Oh God... please don't! No matter what happens, I don't want you ever to do something like that... ever."
