	VaderLVR64 posted: Loved it! I hope you keep loving it. Chapter 16: Fears, Visions, and Painful Memories “Yeah,” Sian sighed as he rolled over onto his back, as one arm remained behind my head. “I’m sorry.” I shifted position to lie on my side as I looked at him anxiously. I didn’t sense any anger from him, which most guys I know would display… a bit of frustration, yes, but also understanding and acceptance. He chuckled as he put his arms around me and pulled me close. He kissed my forehead before saying, “It’s not like you can control having visions.” “Was it a vision, or was it just my brain reacting to my inner fears?” “What are your fears?” His eyes were intense as he studied me, and it was my turn to roll over onto my back. Looking up at the ceiling in the dim light, I found my throat rather dry as I spoke quietly. “I’m afraid Albert is, even as we speak, wondering where I am… and thinking I abandoned him. I’m afraid of making a similar thing happen here.” “You know,” he spoke slowly as he gently massaged the nape of my neck, “if we have a child together, and if you went back to your… world… I’d take care of him. Make sure he knew you love him and would never leave on purpose.” “He would still hurt.” “You can’t live without hurting and being hurt.” “Yes, but I’d like to keep it to a miminum… minunim… to keep the pain low.” I blushed at my sudden lack of word coordination, and I could feel Sian’s body shaking with amusement, so I elbowed him in the ribs, which made him laugh harder. “Well I’m glad you can find amusement out of this.” In spite of my words, I laughed, too. Then I looked at him speculatively, biting my bottom lip before I asked, “Do you want a son?” I was thinking about Trin. I saw pain flicker through Sian’s eyes, and I knew he was thinking of his padawan, too. For those who don’t know, back before Qui-gon Jinn took Obi-wan as a padawan… even before he lost Xanatos to the dark side… Sian had a padawan named Trin. They were very close, like father and son. Then when they were on a mission, the two of them fell from a cliff. Sian survived, though he is now needs a hoverchair to get around. Trin didn’t. You can read VaderLVR’s stories to find out what happened… Sian’s diary, titled “Under Duress”, is particularly poignant. Anyway, knowing how traumatic Trin’s death was for him, and knowing he hasn’t taken a padawan since, I wondered if he would want to have a child… I mean, not only would it be another strong bond, but, Jedi don’t have attachments. I can’t imagine Sian being a father and not forming a bond… not becoming attached. Even though he still lay beside me, I could feel him pulling away emotionally, tightening his mental shields. He leaned back and looked up as he spoke thickly, “If it happens, I’d love my son or daughter as much as I loved him.” I didn’t know what to say right then. He didn’t say if he wanted a child or not… only that he would love him or her if one existed… which I pretty much knew anyway. Without a word, I just lay my head against his shoulder and draped my arm over his chest. He put his arms around my shoulder and held me tight. I felt him shaking, and tears streamed down my cheek, dropping onto his shoulder as we lay holding each other. To be continued... -----signature----- "Change. It can be good. It can be bad.

	NannaVader: Thanks Unfortunately, he isn't in this update. MsLanna: We won't find out in this update. Chapter 17: Moving On: Now with Pictures! Okay, moving on to what happened a couple days later… yeah, I know y’all are probably curious as to what happened that one night after we held each other. Suffice it to say, there are ways for a man and woman to have fun satisfying each other without risking pregnancy. Oh yeah. And Sian isn’t adverse to wielding the Force to those ends. ‘Nuff said. Anyway, let’s move on. It was Katunda on the GFFA week, and Sian thought it was safe for me to explore the Temple on my own. The past couple days, when he wasn’t teaching me how to block my thoughts as well as block outward intrusions upon my mind, he gave me a tour. He even took me to the archives and I met Jocasta Nu. She’s not so bad. Really. She is rather haughty, but I managed to match her hauteur if not outdo it (call it a subtle form of catfight)… to Sian’s amusement. It was rather fun. Moving on. Even though Sian still shores up my mental defense with his, especially since we both sensed Palpy trying to poke around again, he says I’m doing pretty well for someone who hasn’t been trained from the crèche. We also wound up spending the past couple days and nights in each other’s company because of the second ‘attack’ from His Darkness. Yet, on Katunda, he left me to run an errand. He said I was ready to shield on my own for short periods, and suggested I look around while he did what he had to do. I was a bit nervous about this. Okay, I was extremely anxious about it. On the verge of panic, to be precise. Turns out, I had good reason. I went to the library and since I didn’t know how to read Aurebesh, cursing myself for not making myself learn this in my own universe… I mean, it’s not like I couldn’t look it up. I was starting to get a headache as I looked through the alphabet and tried to read ‘simple’ texts in an attempt to try to decipher and learn the GFFA equivalent of the English alphabet. Master Nu actually helped me. I guess I wasn’t able to block my frustration very well… me grunting and moaning as I rubbed my brow probably didn’t help. Anyway, she came over and asked if I needed assistance. I told her what I was trying to do, and she actually sat down with me and brought up some programs. “It would help,” she told me, "if we had a base of your own writing system to compare. This program will help with that.” She gave me a stylus and a datapad that was hooked to the main computer. Then she told me to write the alphabet I used and a few paragraphs as I spoke what I was writing. Well, I did as she said, making sure I printed as neatly as I could. I thought it would be better than using cursive. Anyway, I hesitated slightly when it came to writing a few paragraphs. I’m not used to writing with someone looking over my shoulder. So, I wrote the first thing that came to mind, which happened to be Dr. Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham”. I found myself immersing into storytelling mode and doing the voices of Sam-I-Am and the dude who looks suspiciously like the Grinch, including his grouchy attitude (I still to this day think the unnamed character whom Sam tried to push the verdant foodstuffs upon was, indeed, the Grinch, only bleached). Here is my proof: Green eggs and ham hater w/ Sam-I-Am (after he was converted of course). The Grinch. Am I right or am I right? They have the same fur style, they start out with the same grouchy attitude, and they change their minds at the end of the story. They are the same character! Moving on… I stopped when I heard a rather alarming sound next to me. I looked over to see Master Nu covering her mouth, and her eyes were lit with laughter. I grinned sheepishly, and I could feel my cheeks flush warmly with embarrassment. “It’s from a children’s book.” “I rather thought so.” She was smiling widely as she placed a hand on my arm. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh. It is just that I was taken by surprise. It reminds me a little of a fairytale we tell the younglings.” She patted my elbow then as she urged, “Go ahead and continue. I can’t wait to see how this story plays out.” I laughed slightly before I turned back to plagiarizing Dr. Seuss in the GFFA. After I was finished, she ran the printed text and my oral rendition through the program she brought up, and several minutes later, it brought the text up in Aurebesh. “Perhaps you should give a more sophisticated text as well to make sure the program gets all the nuances.” I nodded as I thought what else to put in. I wound up reciting and writing “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere”. Though I think perhaps I missed a line or two… or four or more. When I’d finished, Master Nu looked at me speculatively. “You’d be good at reading stories to the younglings. When you get a handle of Aurebesh, perhaps you can do that.” I smiled. “I’d enjoy that.” Maybe I’ll bring ‘Reading Rainbow’ to the GFFA, and be this universe’s LeVar Burton. Now, that would be fun! She presented me with a datapad with various GFFA stories that ranged from children’s tales to news and encyclopedia articles… in Aurebesh. It also had a program designed to teach reading and writing in that text. English text would appear in conjunction with the Auberesh. I thanked her before leaving… I told you she wasn’t so bad! Anyway, I had high hopes to be able to read Aurebesh very soon. After all, it really wasn’t a new language… I had no trouble understanding Basic… just a different text to represent the same language. Plus, since I’ve already learned to read and write, the concept to do so isn’t new. Moving on. I was walking down the corridor, feeling really rather excited at the opportunity to learn Aurebesh. Suddenly, I felt a chill… like the temperature dropped fifty degrees within a moment. A sense of dread permeated my being as I shivered. That’s all the warning I got.

	Pfft, I am dissapointed by the lack of ToS-violating material. Faced with the horrors of aurabesh. I know how that feels. maybe I should keep my eyes open for the GFFA version of Green Eggs and Ham? I love that sotry and I agree to your theory that it is the Grinch in disguise. Hey, no foreshadwoing with passing out cold.

	I'm glad you're enjoying this, NannaVader. MsLanna, funny you should mention passing out... BTW. I had DarthIshtar and The Musical Jedi beta this, since I wasn't sure if my humor and action combined well. Chapter 18: A Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, I froze when that feeling of dread came over me. I should have turned tail and ran, only I don’t have a tail. Suddenly I was staring into the eyes of the devil himself as he came around the corner. I didn’t have time to notice that Palpatine had on binders… handcuffs in “RL”. It didn’t really matter. He reached up and grabbed me by my collar then swung me around so that I was between him and his captor. He somehow got his arms around me in a choke hold as I stared into the fiercely glowering eyes of Master Windu. You know, I’m not sure whose eyes I’d rather look into as an enemy. Palpy’s or Windu’s. They are both very frightening. The difference is Palpatine’s evil glare can be both freezing cold and scalding hot, and though Master Windu’s is similar, there is a certain quality that is hard to define… the closest thing I can think of is that the Jedi Master has a conscience. I think if Palpatine ever had a conscience, he killed Jiminy Cricket as his sacrifice to become a Sith Lord. Heck, he probably also killed the fairy who tried to make his nose grow when he lied… and your little dog Toto too, just because he was an annoyingly yappy mutt. Oh, sorry, different story, and straying from the subject. Anyway, there I was, standing in between an evil Sith Lord and a seething Jedi Master. A hostage by the former. What to do? Play the Luke card. When you are up against an armed opponent and caught weaponless, faint! Well, I didn’t really faint, but my legs buckled, and as I slipped down slightly, my open mouth… and more importantly, my teeth found their mark. I bit my captor in the forearm. Palpy didn’t appreciate that very much. Can’t say I blame him. Getting bitten isn’t exactly fun. He screamed in outrage as he let loose with force lightning. Boy, is he predictable. You know, it isn’t fun being doused with lightning? Probably less fun than being bitten, I reckon. Anyway, at the same time I felt the searing hot shock jolt through me, I saw a purple light come towards me! The lightning stopped. Palpatine’s grip suddenly released. I felt myself fall and strong arms catch me. This all happened in a blink of an eye. Even though the lightning had stopped though, the horror didn’t. I was having difficulty breathing, and every nerve ending in my body felt as though they were on fire. I smelled burned flesh, and was surprised I didn’t see flames anywhere. I heard Master Windu saying something about bringing in someone to the healer’s ward. It all seemed very distant. Then I saw his face above mine and he spoke to me as he carried me. I couldn’t answer him. All I could do was shake. His voice was gentle as he kept talking to me, reassuring me that I’ll be okay. I guess we were about halfway to the healer’s ward when I felt another familiar and comforting presence in my mind, though I could tell he wasn’t there physically as I heard his voice. “I guess I can’t leave you alone without you getting in trouble, can I?” Yeah, it was Sian. The creep. I let out a laugh that sounded like something between a hiccup and a cat passing a furball. Then I passed out. -----signature----- "Change. It can be good. It can be bad.

	W00t? Being carried to the hearler's ward by Windu? Like Mace Windu? Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. It is certainly very - wow. I just wonder how Palps came to be in the Temple and why with Wndu? Or have you been hallucinating? Too much green eggs and ham? I wonder who will turn up in the ward with a bite mark in his arm. At least, Sian is back. He should take better care of you. -----signature----- Padawan owned by Corellian_Ale Master of CloneCaptainRex. Proud FanFic Master of Darth_Sathanos Why so serious?

	VaderLVR64: So I guess I got the action/humor mix right, huh? I don't no why, but Jiminy Cricket always comes to mind when I mention having a concience. MsLanna: Is there another Master Windu? Your questions will be answered in due time, or my name isn't Alexis Wingstar. Chapter 19: Any Minute Now I woke up. I was home. In my universe. Real life. Good. My time in the GFFA was all just a crazy dream. People can’t really go into a fictional universe and get electrocuted by a megalomaniacal villain, right? Then why was I still in excruciating pain? Why was every cell in my body still on fire and my body wracked with spasms? Why did my heart feel like it was trying to leap out of my chest and why did its beat feel so erratic? I have no idea how long my body thrashed about. I was vaguely aware of my hand knocking the lamp off my nightstand. I cried out for help, but all I heard was some weird high-pitched voice that must have been my own, but I couldn’t understand what I was screaming. It sounded like I was having an epileptic fit. Though if I were having a seizure I wouldn’t be aware I was having it… would I? I know when I had four seizures in one day while I was pregnant I wasn’t… I would just wake up all disoriented. That was it! I was having a nightmare. That would explain it all. I dreamed the whole thing from driving Albert and David to the airport, and coming home to see Sian in the parking lot. I will wake up any minute now. Any minute… Wait for it… I’ll wake up drenched in sweat and needing to relieve my bladder. Albert will still be in bed in the next room. When I wake him, he’ll be excited about the presents I bought him for Christmas before his dad comes over and I drive them to the airport. Any minute now. Come on, MRN, wake up, damn it! I scream at myself in my mind. It wasn’t working. I was still thrashing about, my hand hurt from when I knocked over the lamp, and I still felt like I was on fire. This seemed to drag on forever as I wondered why my incoherent screaming didn’t wake up Albert. He’s a sound sleeper, but not that sound. I was terrified. I had no control of my body… or bodily functions, from the smell of it. Yeah, I know, TMI. At least I didn’t mention the warmth of the bowel movement or the urine, right? Oops. Yeah, well anyway, I stopped screaming because all of a sudden, I could barely breathe, the light seemed to be getting dim, and I was afraid I was dying. Perhaps I was. “MRN!” I heard Sian’s voice in my head, and suddenly it was as though I was seeing two places at once. I was still in my room, but Sian was in front of me and in a room of the Jedi temple… I think it was the healer’s ward. He reached out his hand towards me, and by luck my arm flailed towards him, and he caught my hand. Enfolded in his arms, I passed out. Again. Or perhaps I died.

	Uh-oh. That does not sound good. Is DRL trying to get you back? And why should that be so painful? I hope it doesn't have any lasting effects. Enfolded in his arms, I passed out. Again.
