Chapter 16

Nessie was sitting on her bed, meditating, when there was a tap on the door and Lucas came into the room.

“ So, what will happen to us?” Nessie opened up her eyes, as she watched Lucas go over to his bed.

“ I am not sure. I can promise you one thing, I will not tell the Council what I saw. We are human, and there are times when we need to have sexual encounters. I do not know what Obi-Wan will do, but I have a feeling that he will not tell the Council what he saw. He will get onto Anakin for not following the Jedi Code.” Lucas smiled at the nervous Padawan.

“ Thanks, Lucas. Yes, I do know what we did is against the Code, but you are right about one thing. We do need to relieve our sexual tensions. I do wish there are times that I could go back to Corellia and live there with the Jedi, because I can be myself, and not be scared that I might do something so wrong that could get me expelled from the Jedi Order.” Nessie gave Lucas a small smile, before closing her eyes again and tried to go back to meditating.

“ You are welcome. I know what you mean. Maybe, one day, we both can go back there and live. I am getting tired of all the rules that I have to follow. What is it R-6?” Lucas nodded, then answered his Com-link.

“ There is a call for you ,coming from Corellia. It is also coming from the Royal House.” R-6 chirped to the Com-link.

“ I am on my way to the cockpit.” Lucas told the Droid and looked over to Nessie and saw a worried look come across her face.

“ I am coming with you.” Nessie got up from her bed and followed Lucas out of the small room.

They went down the small hallway and walked into the cockpit. They saw the Holo-image of Prince Alexander or better known to people, as Senator Alex of Corellia.

“ Good afternoon, Your Highness. What can we do for you.” Lucas bowed his head to the Regal figure, standing in front of him.

“ Good afternoon, Master Lucas. Hello, sis. The reason why I am calling is, to ask you for a huge favor. I really did not want to call the Jedi Counci,l because I know they would send someone that I did not want. I have a conference that I need to go to that is located in the Outter Rim Territories.” Alex looked at both Jedi and hoped that they could come and escort him and be his bodyguard, while he is at this convention.

“ We understand and we will be there in couple of hours.” Lucas nodded his head in agreement.

“ I will be waiting here. Oh, I forgot. This thing is for two weeks.” Alex nodded and gave his baby sister a smile.

“ That will be fine. I will let the Council know that it was you, who personally called us, to come to you.” Lucas heard the door slide open and Obi-Wan came into the cockpit.

“ Ok. See you in a couple of hours.” Alex said, before disconnection of the Holo-com.

“ So, what was that all about?” Obi-Wan sat down in the co-pilot chair.

“ Senator Alex asked if we could escort him to a convention, that is taking place out in the Outter Rim Territories.” Lucas turned to his brother, before putting in the coordinates for Corellia.

“ I see. Did he let the Council know that we are taking him to this thing?” Obi-Wan watched his brother put the coordinates into the Navi-computer.

“ No, he did not. It seems that he does not want anyone to know that he is going to this convention.” Nessie looked over to the other Jedi Master.

“ Well, they do need to know where we are and have to ok this trip.” Obi-Wan looked at the two people, who are in the cockpit with him.

“ That is bull, Master. We really don’t have time to wait for them to make up their minds, in a damn committee.” Nessie looked down at Obi-Wan and began to get angry with him, because he wanted to go by the rules.

“ That is enough, young one. You will obey what is being told to you. You are dismissed. Go to your quarters and think about what you just did.” Obi-Wan looked up at the young girl, just surprised that she stood up to him.

Nessie looked down at her Master, to see if that is what she should do, and he just nodded at her.

“ Ok, fine. All I am saying is, that the Senator needs us now and we should go to him.” Nessie looked at both men, before turning away and walking out of the cockpit and heading for her quarters.

Walking down the hallway, she just stopped at the door of her quarters, when the door across the hallway opened up and Anakin stood in the hallway.

“ Let me guess, Obi-Wan let you have it?” Nessie saw the anger look on Anakin’s face.

“ You can say that. What about you? Did Lucas get onto you?” Anakin look at Nessie and also saw anger on her face. “ No. Lucky for me, Lucas knew there was something between us. He just told me that he was thinking about taking us to live on Corellia, because he is getting tired of all the strict rules of the Jedi on Coruscant and also the Council.” Nessie gave Anakin a sad look, because if Lucas took her to live on Corellia, then she would never get to see Anakin again.

“ You are so lucky. I just wish Obi-Wan was like his brother. What is wrong?” Anakin noticed, when he said Obi-Wan’s name Nessie made a fist.

“ Your Master is a total ass. We just got a call from Senator Alex and he wants us to escort him from Corellia to a convention that is taking place in the Outter Rim Territories. Well, Obi-Wan is pissed because we are heading there, without the Council knowing that we are going to help out the Senator. Let’s just say, I backed talked him and he told me that I needed to go to my quarters and think about what I did. Nessie hit the door panel and the door slid open.

“ That sounds like him. So, are we going?” Anakin stepped back into the room, when he heard someone coming out of the cockpit.

“ I will talk to you later.” Nessie smiled at Anakin and walked right into her quarters.

Shutting her door and going over to her bed, she sat back down on it and began to meditate again.

“ Sorry for Obi-Wan. He can be a jerk sometimes, but I did convince him about going with us, to escort your brother.” Lucas came into the room and looked at his Padawan.

“ It is ok. Yes, he can be like that most of the time. I am glad to hear that. Well, I am going to lay down for a little bit.” Nessie yawned, as she laid down on her bed.

“ Ok. I will be in the cockpit, if you need me for anything.” Lucas smiled and then headed out of the room and back to the cockpit.

Two hours later, they landed on Corellia and met with the Senator and even the Royal Family. They stayed the night and the next morning, they were off to the Convention for the next two weeks.
