Sure enough, I knew that I was going to be really sore, when I got up this morning. Man, it was so great, but Anakin did leave his mark on me too; damn hickey right on my right nipple.
I made my way to the dining hall, before I had to get my bags and move to my new quarters. Walking into the dining hall, I saw that Mayla and Kenley were already sitting at our normal table, but I also noticed that Master Kenobi was also here too. He was sitting at the table that him and Anakin was sitting at the day before, but he was there by himself, so I’m guessing that Anakin is running a little late for breakfast too.
I grabbed my breakfast, came up to the table and put the tray down on the table.
“ Hey, Paddy. So, what are you doing today?” Kenley asked, as she and Mayla looked up at me, as I sat down next to Mayla.
“ Hey, guys. Well, later this afternoon, I have to be at the hanger bay, when my Master’s body is brought here.” I said, taking a sip of my caf.
“ Ok, but if you need us, just let us know, because we are both free today.” Kenley said, as she turned around, so that way she could watch Anakin.
“ Not very long. About ten minutes before you got here, maybe. Master Kenobi was here before us.” Mayla said, looking over at the table that Obi-Wan and Anakin was sitting at.
“ Thanks and I will call you guys, if I need you.” I said, as I sat there watching both Obi-Wan and Anakin. I saw that they were in a deep conversation.
“ Last night, there were two traders at Dex’s Diner, who were to meet up with Master Lily.” I heard Anakin tell Obi-Wan.
“ Ok and how do you know this?” Obi-Wan said, before taking a sip of his caf.
“ Well, lets just say Paddy heard them. Did you know that she can read minds?” Anakin said, and I saw Obi-Wan look over to me.
“ Hello, Paddy?” Mayla said, as she was trying to get my attraction.
“ Um… what? Oh, sorry. What did you say?” I said, as I shook my head ,as I broke my contraction on the guys.
“ I asked what time do you have to be at the hanger bay?” Mayla asked, as she noticed that I was watching Obi-Wan and Anakin.
“ Oh damn, I’m late. I have to go, because I promised my Master that I would help her with some training excecise.” Kenley said, as her com-link buzzed.
“ Ok, I’ll see you later. Um… I have to go and see Master Obi-Wan about something.” I saidm standing up and saying byem before they could say anything to me.
I walked over to the table and of course, there were a couple of girls watching me go over to the table.
“ Morning, Paddy.” Obi-Wan said, as I sat down beside Anakin.
“ Morning, Master, Anakin.” I said, nodding to Anakin.
“ Morning, Paddy.” Anakin said, as he started to yawn.
“ So, did you get a message about new quarters?” Obi-Wan asked, as I took as sip of my caf.
“ Um… yes sir, I did. I have everything ready, so when I finish my breakfast, all I have to do is grab my two bags and go to the room.” I said, just as there was a beeping sound that came from the small disk that I had laid down on the table.
“ Good. So, I take it that your breakfast is ready?” Obi-Wan said, with a small laugh, as he nodded to the small disk on the table.
“ Yeah, my breakfast is ready. I’ll be right back.” I said, getting up and walking away from the table and going over to the service area.
“ You know, Master, it’s going to very strange, sharing a room with a girl. It’s going to be very hard, when the girl can read minds.” Anakin said, as he yawned again.
“ Well, I know it’s going to be hard for you, but as for me, I will have my own room. That means you two will be sharing.” Obi-Wan said, as he watched me get my food.
“ Damn, you know that’s not right. I believe that Paddy should get the room and you and me share the room.” Anakin said, as he yawned for the third time.
“ Well, I’ll think about letting her getting the room. I take it that you didn’t sleep?” Obi-Wan said, as he watched Anakin try not to yawn for the forth time.
“ I did sleep fine. The only thing was, I just had a hard time trying to get to sleep is all.” Anakin said, as I came back to the table and sitting back down next to Anakin.
“ Did you have a bad dream again?” was all I said, because I knew that he suffered from really bad dreams sometimes.
<,p>“ Um… no, I didn’t have one this time. It’s just that I have a lot on my mind that’s all. Thanks for trying to help me to mediate yesterday.” Anakin said, as he reached over to my plate and taking a piece of bacon from it.
“ Um… your welcome.” was all I could do, without choking on my food that I was eating.
“ Well, I’m glad to know that Paddy helped you with meditating. Um… Paddy, Anakin here was telling me what happened last night at Dex’s Diner.” Obi-Wan said, as he finished his last bit of his breakfast.
“ Um… yes, I know that’s what you two were talking about, before I came over here. I really don’t know if anything happened, after we left the diner … I’m sure Master Yoda will let us know what’s going on.” I said, as I saw a surprised look come across Obi-Wan’s face.
“ Well, I too have to be going and finish my report for the council meeting before lunch.” Obi-Wan said, as he got up and followed Anakin out of the room.
“ You think you can come to the hanger bay?” Anakin’s voice came into my head.
“ What are thinking about us doing in the hanger bay, Anakin? You know, you are such a bad boy.” I told him.
“ Only for you.” He said, with a little laugh.
“ Ok, see you at the Twilight.” I answered.
I sat there for a few minutes more, eating what was left my breakfast. I got up from the table and looked two tables away from me, when I saw the same two girls still looking at me and of course, they started whispering.
The sad thing is, that they don’t know that I could read their minds. They were saying how lucky that I was, because I sat down next to Anakin.
I left the room, but before I could head to the hanger bay, Obi-Wan came up to me.
“ There you are, Paddy. Um… I have some bad news. There has been a room change.” He said, as he followed me to my room.
“ Ok. Well … um… I was on my way to my room. Um… have you told Anakin about the room change?” I asked, as we reached the lift.
“ Yes and he is now on his way to the room, so he can get his bag.” Obi-Wan said, as we got into the lift.
I just nodded, as Anakin’s voice came to me. He was letting me know there was a change of plans, because Obi-Wan told him about the room change.
“ Ok. Well, here we are.” I said getting off the lift and we started heading for my room.
We came to where the hallways crossed each other, I looked to my right, at the hallway and saw Anakin coming out of a room with not only with his bags, but with Obi-Wan’s too.
I turned to the left and I led the way down the hallway to my room.
“ Is Master Lily’s stuff here too?” Obi-Wan asked, as he took both bags from me.
“ Yeah,it does sound strange. It makes her look very guilty about something too.” I said, as I looked down at the floor.
We finally got to the floor that the rooms that are used for the Jedi that are mostly gone on missions. They don’t have dorm rooms here.
“ Man, that sucks, because Paddy could have that extra room. You and me would be sharing this room.” Anakin said, as he looked around the room and saw the other door, which turned out to be a walk in closet, which had enough room for all our clothes.
“ Ok, that sounds great. Well, lets get unpacked and try to get somewhat settled in before our day” Obi-Wan said, going to his bed and opening the bag that Anakin put on it.
“ So, my question is, who is going to get what side of the closet?” I asked, as I sat down on the bed and looking at both Anakin and Obi-Wan.
“ I guess that depends on who has the most clothes. Right Master?” Anakin said, as he looked at all the stuff that Obi-Wan was pulling out of his bag.
“ Yes, I guess that would be the only fair thing to do. Well, here is all my things.” Obi-Wan said, as he put all his clothes on his bed in a very neat pile.
“ Well, then, I guess I have just a little bit more clothes than you, Master.” Anakin said, as he pulled out all his clothes. Yes, they were a little wrinkled, because Anakin just threw all his clothes into the bag earlier this morning.
I noticed that both Anakin and Obi-Wan had a couple of ordinary clothes, besides our Jedi clothes. here were also a couple of formal robes and outfits too.
“ Well, guys, I do believe I have you both beat, by a couple of dresses.” I said, as I opened up my bag and started pulling out the clothes that was inside it.
I managed to put five everyday Jedi robes, three regular clothes, for when I have to go under cover, an outfit that I use when I exercise, and of course, two formal Jedi robes and four regular formal wear too.
“ Oh wow, you really do have a lot of clothes. Well, Master, I guess Paddy here gets the larger side of the closet.” Anakin said, as he watched me start pulling out a couple of sleep wear from the other bag, and all these clothes were going to be in the small dresser that was also in the closet.
“ Yes, I see that and yes, she has us beat.” Obi-Wan said, as he took his clothes, walked into the closet and started hanging his clothes up in the smallest section of the closet.
< Anakin was gathering up his clothes and started hanging them up, which was across from mine.
“ Well, I do have a class, but I will be with you, when your Master’s body shows up this afternoon.” Obi-Wan said, as he started heading for the door.
“ I need to go and take a shower, before I do anything else.” Anakin said, as he grabbed his towel.
“ Well, then, I guess I’ll sit right here on my bed and study for a little bit, before going to the gym and practicing on some moves that I believe I need to work on.” I said, going over to the bed that I will be using and sitting down on it.
“ Ok, that sounds great. Anakin, try to stay out of trouble today.” Obi-Wan said, with a smile on his face, before he walked out of the door.
“ Hey, I’m good. It’s just that things just happen to me, but most of the time its not my fault.” Anakin said, with a cute little pout on his face.
“ I’ll believe that when I see it. Well, I better get to these four chapters that I need to read before Monday.” I said, grabbing the small bag and pulled out my data pad.
“ So, who’s class it that for?” Anakin asked, as he started taking off his shirt.
“ Master Windu’s class and it’s Jedi History. I really need to get a high grade on the next test, to pass this class, to keep my high grade point average.” I said, never looking his way, because if I do, I would never get my studying done. I would be in the shower with him.
“ Ouch! He is a tough teacher, but I thought you were passing all your classes?” Anakin said, as he started taking off his pants.
“ I am, but the last test that I took last week, was a little low. It has caused my grade average to drop some, and I really would like to keep it up.” I said, as I made the mistake of looking up and seeing Anakin standing there totally naked.
“ I know that you want this.” Anakin said, as he was smiling at me.
“ Um… get your ass in the refresher now, because Obi-Wan is coming back to the room now.” I said, as I felt Obi-Wan’s present, as he was coming down the hallway.
“ Damn.” Anakin said, as he ran into the refresher.
I looked down at my data pad and was shaking my head. I gave a little laugh, as Anakin closed the refresher door, just as the other door opened and Obi-Wan came into the room.
“ Master” I said, looking up from the data pad and noticed that he had a somewhat confused look on his face.
“ Paddy. Well, I guess Anakin really is in the refresher. I was halfway to the classroom, when remembered that I don’t have a class today. Why do I get this feeling that Anakin was messing with my head?” Obi-Wan said, as he went over to his bed and sat down.
“ I didn’t know he could do something like that.” I said, as I tried to keep from laughing.
“ Yeah, he does that sometimes, even though he knows he’s not supposed to. He does it any way, mostly when he wants something. So if I was you, I’d be careful around him.” Obi-Wan said, as he laid down.
“ Yes, master. I will be careful. So, I take it that you didn’t sleep well last night?” I asked, as I could feel that he was very tired.
“ Um… Yeah… Damn I forgot that you could read minds and feelings too.” Obi-Wan said, before closing his eyes, letting out his breath, as he tried to relax some.
“ Oh sorry. I didn’t mean to read your mind. From now on, I will not read it again, but sometimes I find it so hard not to read people’s minds. I can’t control it and I sometimes even hear other’s thoughts, when I sleep, so there times I don’t sleep.” I said, as Anakin comes out of the refresher, with a towel wrapped around his waist.
I sat there and watched him walk into the closet and a couple minutes later, he comes out dressed. I look over to Obi-Wan and noticed that he was sound asleep.
“ He figured out that you did a mind trick on him.” I said, in Anakin’s head.
“ Well, he deserves it. He really should have some fun sometimes.” Anakin answered, as he looked over at his sleeping master.
“ Well, since all of us are here in the room together, I think we should do some meditation.” Obi-Wan said as he sat up in bed.
“ Damn, Obi-Wan. You see, what I mean about him not being any fun?” Anakin said, as he sat down on his bed.
“ I see that, but you do know, that he does have his reasons too, Anakin. Well, I’m done for now, so I’m ready to do some meditation again.” I said, as I put my data pad down, on the nightstand next to the bed.
“ Teacher’s pet.” Anakin said, with a laugh.
The three of us closed our eyes and went into our meditation stance. I was in deep meditation, when my com-link began to beep.
“ Paddy here.” I said, answering my com-link.
“ Padawan Paddy, I’m calling to let you know that Master Lily’s body has just enter the planet’s atmosphere and should be here in about five.” Master Windu said.
“ Ok. Thank you, Master. I will be there in two. Padawan Paddy out.” I said, before the com-link went dead.
“ I’m ready to go with you, Paddy.” Obi-Wan said, as he stood up and stretched.
All I could do was nod at him, because I could feel my emotions coming up, and I could feel tears welling up. The three of us headed out of the room and made our way down to the turbo-lift that will take us up to the hanger bay. After the turbo-lift stopped at the hanger bays, the doors opened up and we walked out on the landing platform. I saw that Masters Yoda and Windu were standing on the platform, waiting for the ship to land.
“ Masters.” I said, as I came up to Yoda and Mace Windu.
“ Padawan Paddy, her body will be examined for any clues of her death.” Master Yoda said, as the ship landed down on the platform.
“ Yes, Master. When do you want me to leave for Corellia?” I asked, as the cargo hatched opened up.
“ You can leave right after the small service that we will have tomorrow morning, for your Master.” Master Windu said, as two Jedi Knights came out of the ship and between them, floated the casket of my Master.
“ Um… yes, sir. Oh my.” was all I could say, when I saw the casket.
It was at that moment, all the bad feelings that I had felt for my Master had faded away. All I could feel at that moment was sorrow, not only for me, but for her family also. Their hatred for me will only be stronger, because they will blame me for Lily’s death. It was then, that I could feel both Obi-Wan and Anakin coming up to my side. They both took a hold of my hands and gave them a gently squeeze, to let me know that I’m not alone in this moment of sorrow.
I let go of their hands and walked over to the casket and put my hand on it.
I really had to know for sure that she was truly gone, and all I could feel was total emptiness.
“ Rest in peace, Lily.” I whispered.
I turned away from the casket and began walking back to the small group that was still standing nearby, on the landing platform.
“ Take her to the chapel, please.” Master Windu told the two Jedi Knights, who were still standing next to the casket.
“ Yes, Master.” The female Jedi Knight said, as she bowed her head.
I just stood there between Obi-Wan and Anakin again and watched the two Jedi Knights and the casket leave the hanger bay.
“ Master Yoda, um… did you found out what those two traders wanted from Lily?” I asked, as we started to head back inside the temple.
“ Yes, I learned what they wanted. They said that she was to give them some kind of orange crystals. Do you know anything about orange crystals?” Master Yoda said, as we walked down the hallway.
“ Um… yes, Master. I do know something about the orange crystals. They are supposedly mythical crystals that come from the deep underwater caverns of Corellia.” I said, as we came to the lift that would take us to the council room.
“ I see. We will see if the crystals are with her, or on her ship” Master Windu said, just as the lift stopped.
“ Well, if she did take the crystals, I do know that it’s an automatic death sentence.” I said, as the three Jedi Masters stepped off the lift.
“ If that is the case, then we need to find out who killed her and we need to see what else she was carrying on that ship.” Master Windu said.
“ Well, meeting we have. Talk later, we well.” Master Yoda said.
“ Yes, Master. I have some more studying to do.” I said, just before the door of the lift closed.
“ Thank goodness, they are finally gone.” Anakin said, as he leaned back against the wall of the lift.
“ And why would that be, Anakin?” I asked, watching the lights blink the levels that we were passing.
“ There are times that I feel so up tight around them. I don’t know the reason why.” Anakin said, as the lift stops and the doors opened up on our floor.
“ I know what you mean. There are times I feel the same way.” I said, as we stepped off the lift.
Anakin was walking slightly in front of me, when I noticed that he was walking just a little funny.
“ Anakin, are you ok?” I ask, as we came to the door of our room.
“ Um… yeah. You can say that, I’m just a little sore. Damn, did you know that you put a hickey on the head of my dick? It hurts just a little bit.” Anakin said, as we walked into the room.
“ I’m sorry about that. You do know, that pay back is a bitch, because you put a hickey on my right breast.” I said, as I watched him reach down and adjust himself.
“ Sorry about that too. Now, where did I put that stupid pad?” Anakin said, as he looked around his area for his data pad.
Sitting down on the bed, I grabbed my data pad off the night stand and started reading my second chapter, that I needed to get ready for Master Windu’s class.
“ Anakin, the way you talked earlier, you sounded like you wanted to have some fun?” I said, as he finally found his data pad and sat down on his bed, but he did so very carefully.
“ Well, at first I did and I was trying to ignore the pain, but I just couldn’t. So now, I guess it will be a few days, before I can make love to you. Damn it! This stupid thing is dead.” Anakin said, as he was trying to turn on his data pad.
“ I see. Well, to be honest with you, I too am very sore and I believe it’s a good idea to wait for a few days. Here, you can use my charger.” I said, grabbing my small bag and pulling out the charger.
“ Thanks. You’re a life saver.” He said, taking the charger and plugging into the outlet, before plugging his data pad into it.
“ Not a problem and you’re welcome. Well, I’m done here, so I’m going to go the gym.” I said, putting the data pad back on the nightstand. I got up, went into the closet and got my workout outfit and headed into the refresher and changed clothes. I put my other clothes down on the bed, before bending down and pulling out my other bag that has my practice sword in it.
“ Well, I think I’ll stay here and relax in total peace and quiet without Obi-Wan telling me what to do.” Anakin said, as he put his data pad down and then he stared to yawn.
“ Ok, then. I’ll see you later.” I said, heading out the door.
Walking into the gym, I saw that Kenley was here with her Master and they were practice some moves that she was learning in Master Obi-Wan’s class.
“ Hey, Paddy. How are you doing?” Kenley asked, when she saw me.
“ Hey, Kenley. Master Don.” I said, going over to the wall located on the left side of the gym and put my bag down on the floor.
“ Padawan Paddy, I’m sorry to hear about your master. If you need someone to talk to, you know you can always come to me.” Master Don said, as she gave this look, as she knew who my new master is.
“ Yes, master. I will take you up on your very kind offer.” I said, bowing my head and giving her a thank you look.
“ Well, I’m sorry to say that I can’t stay to help out on your work out. I have to shower up before class. Kenley, if you want to stay and work out with Paddy, you can.” Master Don said, as she turned her attention to her Padawan Kenley.
“ Sure, that sounds great. Only if you want a partner, Paddy?” Kenley asked, as she looks at me.
“ Sure, you can join me and maybe I can show you some of the moves that you need to improve on, for Master Obi-Wan’s class.” I said, as Kenley gave me a grimace look and her Master just laughed, as she nodded her head.
“ Thanks a lot, but you are right. I really do need to work on some of the moves that he showed us earlier in the week.” Kenley said, as she laughed too.
“ Ok, you two have fun, then.” Master Don said, as she turned and headed out the door.
“ Why do I get this feeling that she knows something, and it involves you Paddy?” Kenley said, as I picked up my wooden sword from my bag.
“ Oh really?…Um… can I tell you something? You have to promise me that you wont tell any one.” I said, as we walked to the center of the gym and to the mat that was laying on the floor.
“ You know, you can always tell me anything. I promise that I wont tell a soul.” Kenley said, watching me struggle with my thoughts.
,p>“ I know, and I trust you. I now have a new master, and you wont believe who it is.” I said, getting on the mat and going into a battle stance.
“ Man, that was quick. So, who is the new master? I’m dying to know.” She said, as she too got into battle stance.
“ Yeah, it was pretty quick. Well, my new master is now Master Ken-Obi.” I said, taking a swing at Kenley.
“ Oh my… Are you kidding me?… Um… what about Anakin? Is Ken-Obi not going to be his Master?” Kenley asked, blocking my attack.
“ No, I am not kidding. As far as I know, Master Ken-Obi will not only be my master, but he will still be Anakin’s Master too.” I said, as Kenley raised her practice sword and swung it towards me, in which I blocked.
“ Wait a minute. Isn’t that against the Jedi Code, that a Jedi Master can only have one Padawan at a time?” Kenley said, as we swung our swords at the same time and we both blocked each other’s blows.
“ Yes, but they felt that it’s the right thing to do at the time. So, I guess the council members are now finally learning that, maybe going against the Code isn’t all that bad and it’s a good thing.” I said, as we swung our swords again at each other and again, we both blocked each other.
“ Um…that also means that you will have to move your quarters.” Kenley said, as she gave me this mischievous smile.
“ Um… yeah, I know. That has already happened, and yes, we are all in the same room too.” I said, taking Kenley by surprise, by flipping over her head and landing behind her, but before she could turn around, I had my sword at her throat.
“ How did you do that and how do you get out of this hold?” Kenley asked, as I let her go.
“ I noticed that you left yourself wide open. Sure, I can show you the move and how to get out of it.” I said, showing her the moves that I did on her and showed her how to get out of that position.
Two hours later, with both of us hot and very sweaty, I heard a very strange growling sound.
“ Oh man, that was loud. Well, I think I’ve had enough for the day. I believe it’s time to eat.” I said, realizing that it was my stomach that was growling.
“ Oh man, you’re right. I am supposed to have lunch with Master Don too.” Kenley said, as her com-link started buzzing.
“ Tell her sorry and it's totally my fault that you missed your lunch date with her.” I said, as she answered her com-link.
Walking over to where my bag was, I bent down and put the sword into the bag, before grabbing my towel and wiping the sweat off my face. Putting the towel back into the bag, I grabbed the water bottle and took a few sips, before putting the bottle back in the bag. Zipping up the bag, I picked it up, before heading out of the gym. I heard Kenley still talking to her master.
“ Ok. I’m on my way now. Paddy says that she was very sorry for keeping me from our lunch date.” Kenley said. as she came over to the wall and put her sword in her bag.
“ That’s ok. I’m glad that she kept you there. I do hope that you have learned a few things from her.” Master Don said, somewhat out of breath. I can tell that she wasn’t alone either.
“ Yes, master. As a matter of fact, I did learn a few things too. She did help me with a few moves that Master Ken-Obi was teaching us in his class.” Kenley said, picking up her bag.
“ That’s great to know that she showed you. I know that you were having problems with some of the moves. Paddy, I know that one day you will make a wonderful master to a Padawan leaner.” Master Don said, with a smile on her face, as she nodded bye to the person that was with her.
“ Thank you, Master. I do hope that I can pass, on what I have learned to our soon to be Padawan learners.” I said, as Kenley and I headed out of the gym.
“ You’re welcome. Kenley, I do hope to see you in a few minutes.” Master Don asked, as we stopped at the lift.
“ Yes, Master. I am on my way right now.” Kenley said, as the lift doors opened up and we stepped onto the lift.
“ Ok. Then, I’ll see you soon.” Don said, before the com-link went dead.
“ Why do I get this feeling that she wasn’t alone?” Kenley said, hitting the button of her floor.
“ That’s because she wasn’t and there was someone in the room with her.” I said, as the doors closed and the lift started moving downwards.
We rode the lift down to level that Kenley’s quarters are on. We got off the lift, when it came to a stop on her floor.
“ I’ll see you later?” Kenley said, as we walked down the hallway and coming to another set of lifts.
“ Ok, but it will be a little while, until we see each other. I’m leaving in the morning for Corellia, to take Lily’s body home to be buried there.” I said, looking around the hallway, noticing that we were the only ones, besides Master Don, that we were on this level.
“ Ok. Well, then, good luck on your travel home. I’m so sorry about Lily.” Kenley said, reaching out and pulling me into her arms and giving me a sisterly hug.
“ Thanks and I will.” I said, hugging her back, before she let me go, turned away and started heading down the hallway.
I just stood there for a couple of minutes, before turning the opposite direction and heading for the lift that will take to the other side of the temple and to where my new quarters are now located.
“ Padawan Paddy. I thought I was going to have to send out a search party for you.” Obi-Wan said, as I walked into the room.
“ That sounds great, but can I take a shower first? I’m all sweaty and I’m starting to stink too.” I said, putting the bag back under the bed, before heading into the closet.
“ I love you that way.” I heard Anakin’s voice in my head.
“ Yeah, I bet you do.” I answered him back.
“ Please, by all means take a shower. It will give me some time to relax and try to get Anakin up too.” Obi-Wan said, with a laugh.
Grabbing a clean towel and clothes, before grabbing my toiletries,I head into the refresher.
Taking off my clothes and then turning on the water, I pull the shampoo and soap out before getting into the hot water.
“ Oh man, this feels so good.” I moaned, feeling the hot water hit my back and rolled down my back.
“ Damn, have an orgasm why don’t you?” Anakin said in my head, as he too moaned.
“ Whatever. Get out of head, please.” I said, pushing him out of my head and blocking him from trying to stay there, as I soaked my aching muscles that I received from working out with Kenley.
Ten minutes later, I walked out of the refresher and saw that both Anakin and Obi-Wan were dressed in clean robes and both of them had their hair neatly combed.
“ Wow, you two clean up nicely.” I said, with a laugh walking into the closet and putting the small bag on the wardrobe shelf.
“ I thought we could go to a restaurant for lunch. Then, we can do some other things too, that is, if you would like to, before we have to leave tomorrow for Corellia.” Obi-Wan said, as I came back into the room.
“ Um… sure. That sounds good. I would like to go to the museum after lunch, if that’s ok with you guys. I haven’t been there yet and it is one of the places that I wanted to go to.” I said, grabbing my saber, and the coin bag, before the three of us headed out of our room.
“ Shot gun!” Anakin called out, as we got to the speeders that were in the landing dock for speeders.
“ Oh, no. Paddy is riding shot gun this time, and I’m driving. I would like to get to restaurant in one piece.” Obi-Wan said, as we came up to Obi-Wan’s speeder and he was getting into the driver’s side of the speeder.
“ Oh great and that means we will get to the restaurant by dinner time.” Anakin said, with a huff, as he climbed into the back seat.
“ Like I said, I would like to get there in one piece. I’m sure Paddy would also like that too, Anakin.” Obi-Wan said, as we buckled up and he started up the speeder.
“ So, do we even know where we are going to eat at?” Anakin asked, as Obi-Wan got into the mid-afternoon traffic.
“ Well, Anakin, I thought we would head over to the Uscru Entertainment District.” Obi-Wan said, looking straight at Anakin through the rearview mirror.
“ Um… Ok… So, let me guess, we are going there, mostly because you want to go there, mostly for a drink.” Anakin said, raising his eyebrows to his master.
“ No, that’s not the reason for going there ,but I just thought it would be one place, to look into these two traders that are visiting… I have this feeling that we can find them at the Outlander Club.” Obi-Wan said, as we turned down one of the roads that leads us to the Senate District.
“ That sounds very good to me. I do know that a lot of illegal stuff goes down in that place.” I saidm as a speeder zoomed passed us and it was closely followed by the police.
“ I’m glad that I’m driving or we could have them following us. If Anakin was driving they would be after us. So, what are you going to do, after we get back to the temple?” Obi-Wan asked, as he turned down another road. That’s when I saw a sign that let us know that we are now in the Uscru Entertainment District. He turned down another road, before turning on Vos Gesal street.
“ Well I’m going to look over Lily’s ship really well, just in case something was over looked.” I said, as Obi-Wan slowed the speeder down and coming to a stop in front of the Outlander Club.
“ Ok, that does sound like a good idea. She could have put a shield around something that only you could sense.” Obi-Wan said, shutting off the engine of the speeder.
“ True, and knowing what I know about her and her family, there are some hiding spots on that ship. I may be the only one who can sense any objects that she would want hidden.” I said, as we climbed out of the speeder and walked towards the building.
. “ Ok. Well, I still have that engine to work on. There is a small clicking sound in it and I have a feeling that I’ll have to take the whole damn thing apart.” Anakin said, walking passed a couple of girls, who smiled and even giggled, as he smiled back at them.
“ Ok. I have a council meeting and who knows how long that will be. I really hate these kind of meetings, because we have to sit in it, at the senate building. I hope that I can trust that you two can be good, while I’m gone. Mostly you, Anakin.” Obi-Wan said, as he saw the look that both girls gave Anakin and he gave them in return.
“ What?… I’m going to be good. Besides, I’m really don’t have any plans on leaving the temple, once we get back there.” Anakin said, as we walked into the building.
" I know what kind of meeting that you had earlier today. You just finished up shortly, before I came back into our room." I said, giving him a knowing look that I know that he was with Kenley's master and they weren't just meditating either.
" Um... yes, I was at a small meeting before going there... How would you know where I was in the first place?" Obi-Wan asked, looking at me with a questionably look on his face.
" Let's just say, I could sense your presence." I said, just smiling at him.
" Obi-Wan! ... You had sex with someone in the Temple ... and here you are telling me to behave myself? I think it is you, who should behaving yourself." Anakin said, slapping Obi-Wan on the back.
" Ok... ok... Yes, I was with someone, but that was after I had a meeting with Yoda and Windu." Obi-Wan said, as his face turned red. He was caught red handed, with a small secret that he has been hiding for a couple of months.
" Wait a minute. You know who he was having sex with, and you guys aren't going to tell me?" Anakin said, with a pout on his face, when he realized I knew the person that Obi-Wan has been having sex with.
" If you really want to know, it is Master Don. We have been together for a couple of months now." Obi-Wan said, looking straight at me.
" Wait a minute, isn't she your friend Kenley's master?" Anakin said, as he turned to me.
" Um... yes, it is... She doesn't even know who her Master was with this afternoon, when she was talking to her, before we left the gym." I said, looking at both Anakin and Obi-Wan.
" Ok. That's enough talk about what I did this afternoon. Let's just have a good time, while we can." Obi-Wan said, giving both Anakin and I a very stern look, that told us to let it be.
We both nodded our heads and continued our walk around the building.
The first thing I saw was how crowded the bar area was, mostly at this time of the day. We turned to the right and made our way through the small crowd, just before we went up a couple of steps. We found an empty sitting area that had a round table that was a curved booth room. It was located along the back side of the wall and slightly away from the crowds of the other rooms and bar area.
Obi-Wan slid into the seat first, then I followed him, as Anakin slid into the seat from the other end of the booth. As it turned out, I was sitting in the middle of them.
“ Welcome to the Outlander Club. Here are today’s specials. So, what can I get you guys to drink?” the waitress said, as she came up to the table.
“ Thanks… I’ll have a spice grog.” I said, as I saw the two traders from yesterday come into the dining area and sit down in the booth that was in section beside us.
“ I’ll have the same thing, please.” Obi-Wan said, as he noticed that my eyes followed the two guys that just sat down.
“ And for you Anakin?” the waitress asked, as she gave him a wanting smile.
“ You know, what they are having, sounds great to me too.” He said, trying to focus on what I was thinking. He couldn’t get into my head, because I was blocking him out.
The waitress just nodded and headed off towards the kitchen and bar areas to put in our drink orders.
“ Something wrong, Paddy?” Obi-Wan asked, as he noticed that I was looking off in the distance.
“ Shh… master. She is trying to hear what those two guys that just came in, are saying.” Anakin said ,as he looked over to me.
“ Oh… ok.” was all he said, as he too tried to listen to the guys.
“ Man, I can’t believe we are out lots of money because that Jedi died.” One of the guys said.
“ I bet that little green guy had something to do with the missing cargo.” The shorter guy said.
“ I don’t know about that. He seemed to not really know what she had on her ship. All I can say is, we have to find her ship and see if the cargo is on it, or see if we can find her cargo list.” The oldest trader said.
“ So, what do you plan we do?” the shorter trader said, as their waitress came to them and took their order and our waitress came back with our drinks.
“ To answer your question, I think we need to find her ship and search it.” The older trader said.
“ How are we going to do that? That ship would be at that Jedi Temple, and there is no way we can even get in there.” The younger trader said.
“ Well, then, I guess we will have to find a weakness in the building and try to get to the ship.” was all the part I heard, as our food came out and we began to our lunch.
“ I take it, you were listening to those two guys?” Obi-Wan asked me.
“ Um… yeah… They are going to try and find a weakness in the Temple’s defiance, so that way, they can get into the building.” I said, taking a bite out of one of the sliders.
“ Really, and why would they do that for?” Obi-Wan asked, as he too took a bite of his slider.
“ Well, they want to know what happened to the cargo that Lily was carrying on the ship. So, whatever they want must be very expensive.” I said, taking a sip of my drink.
“ I see. Then, we need to let the council know what’s up, so that way, they can do something about the ship.” Obi-Wan said, looking over to Anakin and watching him down his last slider.
“ Ok. That sounds great, but let them know that I want to go over the ship before they do. I may find something that they can’t.” I said, finishing the last slider.
“ Ok. I can do that now. So, if you are ready, we better get going.” Obi-Wan said, taking the last sip of his drink and Anakin moving out of the booth.
“ Bye, guys and have a great day.” The bartender said, as we walked passed the bar, on our way out of the building.
“ Master Windu, has anyone been on Lily’s ship to search it yet?” Obi-Wan asked, as Master Windu answered his com-link.
“ No, not yet.” Master Windu said, walking into his quarters.
“ Good. Padawan Paddy wants to be the first person to search it. If she finds anything, she will let you and Master Yoda know.” Obi-Wan said, as we got into the speeder.
“ Ok, that sounds great. She has our blessing to be the first person to search the ship.” Master Windu said, lighting a candle and sitting down on the mat, in front of the candle.
“ Ok, that sounds good. We are on our way back to the Temple now.” Obi-Wan said, starting up the speeder.
“ Ok. See you all later, then. Windu out.” Master Windu said, before he disconnected Obi-Wan’s communication.
“ Just great. So, I know what I will be doing, after your class.” I said, as Obi-Wan put the speeder into drive. We lifted upward and then, he flew us towards the main traffic of Coruscant.
Why don’t you and Anakin take break from class today? All we are going to be doing is, working on the moves that we were learned yesterday. To be honest, you have it down, and Anakin, you can work on the Twilight’s engines.” Obi-Wan said, as he had to slow down, before turning down the street that the Temple was on.
“ That is great. Thanks, Master.” Anakin said, and I could hear a yahoo in his voice.
Obi-Wan landed the speeder in the hanger bay and we all got out of the speeder.
“ See you guys later.” Obi-Wan said, as we stopped in front of Lily’s ship. I saw that there were two Temple guards standing by the ship. He left the hanger bay to go to the room and pick up his data pad, so he could take them to his meeting at the senate building.
“ Ok. Well, see you later and good luck trying to get by those two.” Anakin said, nodding over to the two Temple Guards.
“ Gee, thanks. I just hope that Master Windu let them know that I was going to search the ship. Ok. see you later.” I said, as Anakin took a hold of my hand and gave it a small squeeze, before letting it go.
I just stood there and watched Anakin walk across the hanger bay and walk on board his ship: the Twilight.
Taking a couple of deep breaths, I turned towards the ship and walked up to the two guards.
“ Um… I’m Padawan Paddy. I have permission from Master Windu to search the ship.” I said, looking up to the two guards.
“ Proceed.” One of the guards said, as he nodded towards the hatch way of the ship.
Walking up the ramp and into the main lounge area of the ship, I closed my eyes and let the Force to guide me to whatever I’m looking for. I felt the Force pull me towards the sleeping quarters, and one of those rooms was Lily’s.
Opening the door to her room, I walked into the room and noticed that her bed wasn’t made. Everything around the room was pretty much in its place, but the one thing I did notice, was that her small sitting area was a little messed up.
I looked at the small chair and that’s when I noticed that there was a pool of blood on the back of the chair, as well as on the small table, along with a smear of blood on the table.
Looking a little bit closer at the table, I realized that there was a square shaped object that was on the table at one point in time.
Getting down on my knees, I started looking around the table, before looking under the table. That’s when I found the small cube. Picking it up, I realize that it was a holo-cube. Getting up off my knees and walking over to the bed, I sat down on the edge, and put the cube on the nightstand.
Hitting the small button, on the top of the cube, I heard a small humming sound coming from the cube, just before the image of Lily came up from the cube.
“ Paddy, if you are seeing this message, then you will know that I’m dead. I know we haven’t been that close, like most Masters and Padawans. For that, I am truly and deeply sorry. I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me, for all the hurt that I have caused you. What I really want to tell you, is how very proud I am of you and that I’m also glad to have been your Master. I want to let you know that I have learned a lot from you and the one of things I learned is that you are willing to over come our Social Classes. You were going out of your way to try to become my friend, but me being so stubborn, I didn’t want to break that Social Society … So, I’m sorry for everything that has happened… I do hope that you have a great and wonderful life. One day, you will be one hell of a Jedi Knight… and May the….”
What I saw next, came to be a total surprise. I saw a dark figure come up behind her with a knife. I saw the person bring the knife across Lily’s throat and slice it wide open. The person left the room, but not before I got a look at his face.
“ Oh my… Gabrieel.” was all I could say, as I watched Lily die, as she laid on the floor. Getting up from the bed, I put the cube into robe pocket.
“ Ok. Now, lets go and check the hold and see what we can find there.” I said to myself, trying to get the picture of Lily dying on the floor out of my head
Leaving the room and making my way to the cargo hold, I went looking around the small cargo space. Opening up the few boxes that were there, I found them all empty. I had a feeling that Gabrieel found all the stuff that she was carrying and took them.
I was about to leave the cargo hold, when I got a very strange feeling that I should move one of the crates. I knew that was one of the smuggler’s hideaways on the ship.
Opening the false bottom floor, I jumped down into the hideaway and looked around. I found Lily’s data chip. Picking it up, I put it in my pocket, before climbing out of the hideaway. I put the floor back into it’s place and pushed the crate back over the hatch.
“ Master Windu.” I said, hitting my com-link.
“ Windu here. Padawan Paddy, I take it that you have finished your search of the ship?” Master Windu asked.
“ Yes, Master. I have finished my search and I have found her data chip. I’m bring it to you now. Hopefully, you and Master Yoda can find out what was in the crates, which are all now empty.” I said, walking down the ramp of the ship. Using the Force, I closed up the ship.
“ That’s great news. See you soon, then.” Master Windu said, standing up and blowing out the candle.
“ Ok. Padawan Paddy out.” I said, turning off my com-link.
I walked passed the Twilight and I heard Anakin cussing at something.
Coming up to the turbo lift and getting on, I hit the button that will take me to the floor that both Masters Yoda and Windu have their quarters on.
Getting off the lift, when it came to a stop on the floor that I wanted, the doors opened up. Standing in the hallway, next to the lift, waiting for me was both Masters Yoda and Windu.
“ Found something, you have?” Master Yoda asked, as I stepped off the lift.
“ Um… Yes, Master. I have found two things. The first thing I found is a holo-cube, and it has a message that was meant for me. It also has her murder and the person who killed her on it too. The second is this data chip. I’m sure that you both can find whatever she was carrying on board, where she had been and the people that she had met up with up. So, here you go.” I said, handing over the data chip to Master Yoda.
“ Thank you and you did a great job, Padawan. The person who killed her, have you seen or know who it is?” Master Windu asked me.
“ Yes, Masters, I do know who the person is. In my culture it is better for the family to deal with that person, and the only way for us to get involved is if the family asks us to. I have a feeling that they won't.” I said, as both Masters nodded their heads in understanding.
“ Ok, we will let the family deal with the murder, and we will let you know what we have found, before you leave for Corellia tomorrow. Have a goodnight, then and May the Force be with You, young one.” Master Windu said, holding the data chip in his hand.
“ Thank you, Masters and May the Force be with You both too.” I said, bowing my head and getting back onto the lift.
Once I got back to my quarters, I walked into the room. Going over to my bed, I sat down in the middle of it. Sitting there, I tried to figure out what I was going to say to Lily’s parents.
Then, I heard a small beeping sound. Looking around the room, I really didn’t see anything. Then, I heard it again and that’s when I realized it was coming from the pocket of my robe.
Pulling the cube out of my pocket, I noticed one side of the cube was flashing.
Hitting the button, another message came up. I realized it was for Lily’s parents.
I stopped the message and hit the button that my message was on. Getting up and going over to the small desk, I found a blank cube. I transferred my message onto the new cube, so that way, Lily’s parents don’t have to see the gruesome murder of their daughter.
Walking into the closet and opening the small drawer on the armoire, I pulled out a small box. Opening it up, I put the cube in the box. Then, putting it back into the drawer, I closed it. Walking back into the main room, I had a feeling that Anakin need help badly.
Leaving the room, I headed for the hanger bay.
“ Anakin!” I called out, walking on board the Twilight.
“ Down here!” Anakin called back to me.
“ Hey, I had this feeling that you needed some help.” I said, coming to an area that was between the cockpit and the lounge area.
“ Hey… yeah, I do need some help. Man, I know if I get into trouble, I know who to call out to. So, you could come and get me out of trouble.” Anakin said, sticking his head out of the hole that he was in.
“ You know, that you can always call on me at anytime, and I’ll be there for you.” I said, taking off my robe.
“ That makes me feel a lot better to know that." Anakin said, looking up at me, with a smile on his face
" Can I help you? Like hand you some things?” I said, going over to the hole and sitting down on the edge of the hole and next to the tool box.
“ Can you hand me that wrench, please?” Anakin said, pointing to the wrench.
“ Ok. Here you go. Have you ever wondered why Master Yoda put us together?” I asked, watching Anakin duck back into the hole and under a huge pipe.
“ Yeah, I too have wondered that. You do know, that they are going against the Jedi Code.” Anakin said, laying down under the huge machine.
“ Why do I get a feeling that they didn’t go against the Code?” I said, looking around the area and noticing that the ship was in a total need of redo, mostly the whole cockpit and the lounge area.
“ Do you always trust your feelings, mostly if they involve people?” Anakin asked, loosing up a bolt.
“ Yeah, I do trust those feelings most of the time. There have been times when my feelings were very wrong about a person.” I said, as I heard a loud clank.
“ I wish I could trust my feelings, but at times, it’s hard. I guess it has to do with my past. Hey, did you ever find anything on the ship?” he asked, as he found the nut that had fallen off the bolt.
“ You know, if I came from your background, I wouldn’t trust people too. Um… Yeah, I did and lets just leave it as it is, ok?” I said, feeling tears welling up into my eyes.
“ Ok… damn it… hey, Paddy, are you ok?” Anakin asked, as he heard me sniffle some and he could feel that my mood had changed and that I was starting to cry.
He came up and bumped his head on the pipe, because he forgot to duck and move to the right some. He came up out of the hole and saw that I have my hands to my face, as I started to cry. He got out of the hole, pulled me up to my feet and pulled me into his arms, as he held me.
“ I’m here for you, Paddy. Just let it all out, baby.” Anakin said, as he held me in his arms, as I cried.
I just held on to him, as I truly opened up for the first time. I just let all my feelings that I had for Lily come pouring out, with all my tears.
“ Thanks, Anakin.” I said, pulling away from him, ten minutes later.
“ That’s what I am here for. You know that I’m always here for you. So, I take it that you did find something. At the moment you can’t or don’t want to talk about it and that’s fine. I’m sure, when you are ready, you will tell me. You can tell me anything. I am here to listen and to help you.” He said, kissing my forehead.
“ Thanks, Anakin. When I am ready, I will tell or even show you what I have found. Well, lets get this thing working.” I said, with a little laugh, before leaning forward some and kissing Anakin tenderly on the lips.
He nodded and then went back down into the hole. Two hours later, we both got cleaned up, grabbed a speeder and headed over to Dex’s Diner for dinner. We both had the Nerf steak and for dessert, we had one of Dexter’s famous spice cakes.
“ Man, I am full. I believe I can sleep like a log.” I said, as we got into the speeder and Anakin took us back to the Temple.
“ There is one thing I would like to do, before going to bed… I want to make love to you.” Anakin said, as he turned down the street that headed straight to the Temple.
“ Ok. but where can we go? I thought you were sore?” I said, as the Temple got closer.
“ In my quarters, on the Twilight. Believe it or not, the pain has pretty much gone away. What about you?” Anakin said, as we pulled up to the Temple and he parked the speeder in the empty space.
“ Believe it or not, I really don’t feel any pain either. I just hope that the quarters is,a little better looking, than the rest of the ship that I have seen.” I said, with a laugh.
“ Yes, it’s better looking than the rest of the ship. That was one room that I worked on first.” Anakin said, shutting off the engine.
Getting out of the speeder, Anakin led us to the ship, opened the door and we walked on board. I was standing in the middle of the lounge area, watching him close and lock the hatch door. He came up to me, picked me up and carried me to his quarters. Once there, he shut and locked the door through the Force, putting me down in the middle of the room.
“ We need to get rid of this.” Anakin said, pulling my shirt out of my pants and pulling it over my head, before dropping it to the floor.
I grabbed his shirt and removed it. As I did so, I leaned forward and started laying small kisses on his chest, as I pulled the shirt over his head and it joined my shirt on the floor. I unbuckled my belt, then unbuttoned and unzipped my pants. As I was taking off my pants, Anakin was doing the same thing. Pulling me close to him, I hopped up just a little bit, before wrapping my legs around Anakin’s waist, as he walked us towards the bed. Laying me down in the middle of the bed, he did manage to get my legs opened up and he got between them.
“ Ready, baby?” He said, lifting his head up and looking straight at me.
“ Ready and make me feel better.” I said, putting my hands on his hips.
With a hard thrust, I felt Anakin enter my body. We both let out a moan and just laid there together, for a few minutes, before I felt Anakin start moving again. This time it is very slowly.
“ Oh, Anakin. You feel so good. Move a little faster, please.” I begged him.
“ You feel so good too. I will move a little faster in couple, because if I start moving faster now, I will come and I really want to make this last.” He whispered, in my ear, as he learned down and began kissing me.
Wrapping my legs around him and holding him down, I felt him start to move a little slower.
“ Oh, yeah. I love that Ani.” I said, as Anakin started to nibble on my right ear lobe.
Before I knew it, Anakin flipped us over and I was looking down at his face. That’s when I noticed his eyes had turned to a very dark blue.
“ Ride me hard, Paddy.” He said, grabbing the sides of my hips and pulling me down on him, which caused him to go deeper inside of me.
“ Oh Anakin, that feels so great.” I said, as I started moving up and down on him.
Twenty minutes later, he flipped us around again, after I had my first orgasm.
“ Ani! I’m coming again!” I cried out, as I felt him start getting bigger. I knew that he was about to have his own orgasm.
“ Paddy, I’m about to come too. Oh yeah, baby. Here I come!” Anakin cried out, as he gave one last thrust and he came deep inside of me.
“ Oh yeah, Ani. That feels so good. Oh, Anakin. Here I come!” I cried out again, as I came with him.
Anakin pulled out of me and laid down beside me. Grabbing his robe, he covered us with it.
“ Damn! That made me feel like I’m in a very peaceful place.” Anakin said, pulling me into his arms and holding me, as we started to coming down from our sexual high.
“ Tell me about it. I could almost feel our souls become as one. I could have sworn that I thought I saw our lives together.” I said, snuggling a little bit closer to him.
“ You know, I also felt that feeling and even saw that vision too. Damn, we need to head back to our quarters, before Obi-Wan knows we are gone.” Anakin said, as the first bell started to ring, which means that everybody needs to be in their rooms.
“ Yeah and it’s also study time too. As Obi-Wan would say, "it’s time to Meditate".” I laughed, as I saw Anakin make a face, when I mention studying.
“ Why did you have to say that for? I’m really not much into studying, but I think I will meditate instead.” He said, letting go of me and pulling the robe off of us, before getting up and gathering up his clothes.
“ I understand that. You know what? I think I’ll meditate some too. I really need to clear my thoughts and try to make some sense of the few things that I learned earlier today.” I said, getting up, gathering up my clothes and putting them back on.
“ Paddy, I’m serious about what I had said earlier. If you ever need to talk to someone, you know I’m always there for you.” Anakin said, as he ran his hand through his hair.
“ Thanks, Anakin. Right now, I just don’t want to talk about it. At the moment, I just need some time to really think about some stuff, mostly about what is going on in my life. It’s has to with the councils’ decision about Obi-Wan being my new Master, and why are they going against the Code.” I said, reaching into the pocket of my robe and grabbing the scrunchie and putting my hair into a pony tail.
“ I know what you mean. I too was wondering why they were going against the Code. After all, they are always repeating the Code to me almost every day. Well, I hate to say this, but we really need to get going.” Anakin said, as he unlocked and opened the door. We walked off the Twilight and headed for our quarters.
“ There you two are. I thought I was going to have to send out a search party for you guys." Obi-Wan said, with a small laugh, as he looked up from his data pad.
“ Sorry, Master. We were working on the Twilight and didn’t hear the bell.” I said, going into the closet and grabbing my night clothes.
“ I see. Well, lets get ready for bed, which is in about an hour and half. I also know that’s it’s early, but we do have to get up very early in the morning, so we can leave for Corellia.” He said, as Anakin went over to his bed and opened up the bag, before pulling out his clothes that he sleeps in.
“ Yes, Master.” He said, watching me go into the refresher. He left the room and headed down the hallway to the male’s refresher and got ready for bed too.
Twenty minutes later, I came out of the refresher. I noticed that only Obi-Wan was in the room and he was now dressed in his sleepwear.
“ Where is Anakin?” I asked, picking up my robe, before going into the closet.
“ Oh, he went to the public refresher, so he could get all cleaned up and ready for bed. Paddy, is there something bothering you?” Obi-Wan asked, as he watched me put the dirty clothes into a laundry bag.
“ Um…yes, Master. There are a few things that are making me start questioning the motives of the council, that’s all.” I said, as Anakin came back into the room.
“ I see.” He said, rubbing his chin, as he started stroking his beard. He does that, when he is thinking about things, and this time it had something to do with what I was saying.
“ You see what master, and did I miss anything?” Anakin, asked picking up a bag that he had at the end of his bed and putting his dirty clothes into it.
“ All I asked Paddy is, if she was ok. That’s all.” Obi-Wan said, watching a confused look come across his first Padawan’s face.
“ But she told me…” Anakin started to say. As I came back into the room and I was holding in my hand the holo-cube.
“ When I was searching the ship earlier, I found a couple of things on Master Lily’s ship. At first, I thought it was very personal, but now I know that you two really should see this. I know who killed her, but let me warn you, the end is very graphic.” I said, as I held out the holo-cube to Obi-Wan.
“ Oh man, Paddy. You sure that you want us to see this?” Anakin asked, as he and Obi-Wan looked straight at me.
“ Yes, I’m very sure.” I said, going over to my bed and pulling the covers back, before climbing into the bed.
Obi-Wan nodded, as he hit the button and the image of Lily showed up. By the time the whole video ended, I had tears running down my face.
“ Oh, my. You were very right about it being graphic at the end. From the look on your face, you know who killed her.” Obi-Wan said, as he looked over at me.
“ Yes, Master. I do know who the person is, but the only problem we have is, that we can’t do anything to him.” I said, as Obi-Wan came over to me and gave back the holo-cube.
“ Why can’t we do anything to that bastard?” Anakin said, as you can hear his temper was starting to rise.
“ I believe it has something to do with a Corellian custom, am I correct Paddy?” Obi-Wan asked, as he walked back over to his bed.
“ Yes, Master. What you have said is correct. The only time that we can get near the guy, is if the family agrees for us to go get him. The only thing we can do, once we have him, is to turn him over to the family and they will deal with him.” I said, putting the cube on the small night stand.
“ What, so they can let the guy go?’ Anakin said, with a hint of anger in his voice.
“ Temper, Anakin. No, the family would not let him go. See, on Corellia, we have our own type of justice. One of them deals with this type of crime, and trust me, he will pay dearly for what he has done to Lily.” I said, sitting back on the bed and crossing my legs.
“ I see. So, how long will his prison sentence be?” Obi-Wan asked.
“ There will be no jail time…” I started to say, before I was interrupted.
“ See, they will let this guy go free.” Anakin said, as he interrupted me.
“ No, Anakin. He will not get away with the murder, and he won’t get much jail time either. Before you interrupt again, let me tell you why.” I said, giving Anakin a dirty look.
“ Ok, fine.” was all he said, as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"The Corellians have a way of dealing with people, who have committed the most heinous acts. That penalty is death, and most of the time, it’s the family who carries out this penalty.” I said, looking over at the two guys, and saw that they were in total shock, in hearing this information.
“ But, aren’t they committing a crime too?” Anakin asked.
“ No, they do have a small trial. They have to have solid proof the crime, before they can carry out the death sentence. They do have an executor to carry out the death sentence, but they have to be there though.” I said, as I saw some kind of relief come across both the guys’ faces.
“ Well, I’m so very glad to hear that. I think I’m going to meditate now.” Anakin said, crossing his legs and resting his hands on his knees, before closing his eyes.
“ Anakin is right. I think we all should try to meditate, so that way, we can clear our minds of the stuff that we have learned today.” Obi-Wan said, as he too got into meditation position.
Resting my hands on my knees and closing my eyes, I started my meditation.
It was about an hour later, when we heard the bell that meant lights out.
“ Well, guys, lights out. Lets try to get some sleep, because we will have a very long day ahead of us tomorrow.” Obi-Wan said, leaning over and turning off his light.
Anakin reached out with the Force and not only turned off his light, but mine too.
“ Thank you, Anakin.’ I said, pulling the covers over me, as I laid down.
“ You’re welcome. Goodnight, guys.” He said, pulling the covers over himself too, as he laid down.
