Star Wars Rewritten(Prequel):The Phantom Menace

Chapter One

Gennady Kenobi stood on a landing platform near the Senate Building on Coruscant. Today, her brother and his master would be returning from their mission to Naboo. They had gone there to negotiate with the trade federation who had set up a blockade, cutting off all trade routes from the planet. It had been longer than Gennady had anticipated since they left, and she was quite surprised when they returned in a completely different ship.

It was a J-type Nubian starship. It appeared to have a chromium finish that was quite reflective. It was a lovely ship, and Gennady envied the people who owned it.

Next to Gennady stood Chancellor Valorum, and Senator Sheev Palpatine. They stood looking at the ship as it landed. The door opened to reveal a large number of people. All but two of them were strangers to Gennady. She rushed forward to meet her brother and his master.

"Obi-wan!"she shouted excitedly, flinging her arms around him, and earning a few strange looks "Qui-gon!"She hugged the Jedi Master as well.

Obi-wan Kenobi had auburn hair similar to that of Gennady's, though his was short while Gennady's was halfway down her back and braided. They both had padawan braids in their hair and blue-grey eyes. Obi-wan and Gennady both had brown and white Jedi robes, though Gennady had no sleeves. Gennady had paler skin than her brother, though not by much. Obi-wan was also much taller than Gennady,

Qui-gon Jinn was Obi-wan's master, and was like a father figure to Gennady. He had long, brown hair and blue eyes as well as light skin and a short beard. He wore brown and white robes and was quite tall.

"Stars!"Gennady exclaimed "What happened!"Then, she added "I've missed you guys soooo much,"she pulled away, smiling. Most of the others had gone off to talk to Palpatine and Valorum.

"We haven't been gone that long,"said Qui-gon, humor in his voice.

"Excuse me,"said a boy with sandy blonde hair who appeared to be about Gennady's age, nine years to be exact "But who's this?"

"This is my little sister Gennady,"said Obi-wan "Gennady, this is Anakin Skywalker. He might train to become a Jedi with you."

Gennady looked him up and down. "But he's so old!" she complained jokingly.

"Gennady,"said Qui-gon "Be nice."

"What?"said Gennady "I'm joking. Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you Anakin Skywalker. I look forward to kicking your butt in sparring."

"Gennady,"said Obi-wan warningly.

Gennady sighed, muttering an apology under her breath.

"This is my little sister,"said Anakin "Thorn, though you can call her T or Prickle. That's what most of us call her, though it depends on her mood." He gestured toward another blonde haired girl who rolled her eyes. She looked to be the youngest in the group.

"Hey,"she said "Don't listen to my brother. He can be annoying."

"You're only proving my point,"said Anakin.

Before anyone could reply, a girl with red hair who also appeared to be nine thrust her way in front of Gennady. "Hi!"she said, enthusiastically shaking Gennady's hand "I'm Primrose, though you can call me Prim for short. What's your name?! Wait, Dumb question. I already knew that."she leaned closer, causing Gennady to lean back "I was listening to your conversation. Wait, that sounded creepy. I wasn't eavesdropping since it feels like I have a right to be in this conversation since we're doing introductions and-"

"Okay Prim,"said a girl in a colorful dress, identical to that of five others "I think she gets it. Give her some space."

"Fine,"Prim huffed "That's my big sister Padme. She's one of the queen's handmaidens."

"The queen?"asked Gennady, confused.

"Yeah,"said Prim "You know, Queen Amidala. Queen of Naboo. The lady with the fanciest clothes."

"Oh,"said Gennady "Cool."

"You don't sound very enthusiastic,"said Prim "If I were you I would be jumping around like a rabbit."

"Well I spend all day with Jedi and senators,"Gennady pointed out "I'm used to spending time with important people."

"Oh,"said Prim "That makes so much sense."

"Gennady!"Obi-wan called. Gennady hadn't realized that he and Qui-gon had gone to talk to the Chancellor.

Casting an apologetic look at the others, Gennady hurried over to where her brother was. He had an exasperated expression on his face and was rubbing his temples in annoyance. This couldn't be good.

"Is it true?"he asked.

"Is what true?"asked Gennady, genuinely confused.

"Did you really prank the chancellor?"

Gennady felt all eyes on her as she replied "I have no recollection of such a thing."knowing perfectly well that she did.

Gennady had discovered that Chancellor Valorum was attending a meeting later that night. Being the prankster she was, Gennady had set up a few pranks. First of all, gennady had put a bucket of mud and tea over his door. Once he'd gone back to clean up with a colorful assortment of words, Gennady had put another bucket above the door. Since Valorum would be late, he wouldn't consider more pranks. He would fall right into Gennady's trap. Along with that, Gennady had tampered with the chancellor's seat, making it so he couldn't control it. Instead, Gennady would be able to maneuver the seat. She had been watching the entire time, and could barely stifle her laughter.

Due to her reputation for pranks, Gennady had been the obvious suspect. Originally, she hadn't intended to tell anyone, but the constant nagging had gotten annoying.

"Gennady,"Obi-wan sighed, rubbing his temples "We've talked about this. Save your pranks for people who don't have more important things to do than wash paint out of their hair, or sit over a trash can vomiting for two hours, or-"

"Okay I get it,"Gennady interrupted, smiling at the memories "It was just too funny."

Obi-wan gave her an exasperated look, sighed, then turned to Qui-gon for assistance. Qui-gon just looked at him with amusement as if to say "She's your sister. She's your problem." Gennady heard a few giggles behind her and turned around to see Thorn, Prim, and Anakin trying to stifle their laughter. Gennady rolled her eyes, then turned to face her brother again.

"Either way,"Gennady continued "You've never been able to stop me before. No point in trying now."

"Hey Gennady!"shouted Prim from behind them "You coming?!"

Gennady looked at Qui-gon, who nodded her along. "We'll talk later."

Gennady nodded with a smile, before turning and walking toward the transports that the others were boarding.

"We'll drop you off at the Temple,"the driver told Gennady, before taking off.
