Another Time, Another Place, A New Life
jedi_enigma

13 year old Raechel Hennel curled up on the pull out couch. Her heart was aching, but she refused to cry. The last 3 days had been the worst in her life. Her mother had been in a car accident, the car in front of her had skidded on a patch of ice.

Raechel's mother had been taken to the hospital. Raechel hadn't been allowed to see her until the next evening.

***Flashback to 3 days ago***

She's fighting hard, but I doubt she will make it," the doctor told Raechel.

It had taken Raechel 20 minutes to get the doctor to finally tell her that.

They stood side by side in the doorway Raechel's mother.

Raechel just nodded silently. "So she is dying."

The doctor knew that was not a question, but she nodded just the same.

Raechel didn't look at her, she just went over to her mother. She scooted herself onto the bed and lay down next to her mother. She wrapped her arms around her and began to hum a song.

The doctor slipped out, even though what Raechel was doing was against the rules she let them be, knowing this was probably her last chance to say good bye.

Raechel hummed then began to sing softly:

"As you go through life you'll see

There is so much that we

Don't understand.

And the only thing we know

Is things don't always go

The way we planned.

But you'll see every day

That we'll never turn away.

When it seems all your dreams come undone

We will stand by your side

Filled with hope

And filled with pride.

We are more than we are

We are one."

She hummed for a little.

"If there's so much I must be

Can I still just be me

The way I am?

Can I trust in my own heart

Or am I just one part

Of some big plan?

Even those who are gone

Are with us as we go on.

Your journey has only begun.

Tears of pain

Tears of joy.

One thing nothing can destroy

Is our pride deep inside.

We are one."

She hummed again.

"We are one

Yu and I.

We are like

The earth and sky.

One family under the sun.

All the wisdom to lead

All the courage that you'll need

You will find when you see

We are one."

When she had finished the song she laid her head on her mother's left breast and listened to the comforting, steady beat of her mother's heart.

"I understand now, Momma," she whispered, "I understand and I will never forget."

She just lay there for a few minutes.

Finally she spoke.

"It's ok Momma," she said in an even softer, gentler whisper. "I know you are in great pain right now. I know that you are holding on because of me." She paused for a second, she struggled with the next words. "I don't want you to be in pain Momma. It is ok for you to let go. I'll be alright." She lay there in silence, except for the beeping of the machines.

"I love you Momma."

Raechel could almost hear her mother say, "I love you too Bright One. And I will always be with you, no matter what," as she had so many times before.

As Raechel lay there listening to her mother's straining heart she barely registered that her mother's chest had stopped moving, but she clearly heard her mother's heart give a beat then stop.

As she lifted her head Raechel didn't hear the whine of the machine that monitored her mother's heart. She didn't hear the commotion that was coming toward her mother's door. She just climbed off the bed and pulled up the covers around her mother, making sure they were good and snug. Then she leaned over and kissed her mother on the cheek.

"I love you, Momma. I will always remember. You will never leave me. You are here," She placed her hand over her heart. "forever."

She walked out quietly as the doctor and nurses came

 

Part 2

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan sat in a corner of the lounge side by side.

Obi-Wan looked over at his master. Though Qui-Gon's face looked blank Obi- Wan knew his master well enough to see the signs of grief. They had just finished a mission when the Council called them and told them that they would be escorting the daughter of a Jedi who had just died. Obi-Wan had seen Qui-Gon's grief when they were told who had died and had asked him about it. Qui-Gon had told him that the Jedi had been a friend of his.

Obi-Wan felt bad about the Jedi's death and the daughter's loss, but he wasn't too eager to be playing babysitter for her.

"Master, how old is the daughter?" he asked Qui-Gon.

"Her name is Raechel Hennel, I believe she is now almost 13," Qui-Gon told him. Then Qui-Gon got a faraway look that Obi-Wan knew meant he was thinking very hard about something.

Obi-Wan sighed and looked around the room.

A voice came over the speakers:

"The transport shall be here in half a standard hour. Please prepare to board."

Qui-Gon picked up his small pack; Obi-Wan did the same. They walked over to the line for the check in counter.

Obi-Wan just hoped that this would be a short trip.

~*~

Raechel had spent the last twenty minutes flipping through her journal trying to figure out what was up. As she had done so memories that she had never had before began to emerge.

Her mother had been a Jedi Knight Historian. She had been raped while on a mission. When she had discovered she was pregnant she decided not to tell the Jedi Council and to raise and train Raechel on her own. She had been Raechel's teacher in both the Jedi ways and in academics. They had moved from planet to planet, helping out where they could. Her life had been that way for 13 years then there had been a bombing on the planet where they had been living. A large public building had been blown up. Raechel and her mother had helped with the rescue and clean up. They had used the Force to help, even though they knew it would attract the attention of the Council. Said council contacted Raechel's mother saying after they were done on the planet they wanted her and Raechel to come before them. That had been just hours before she died. She had been given a proper Jedi burial. Raechel took her ashes and scattered them over the ocean of that planet, as had been her mother's wish. Then she had hopped this transport, at the Council's orders, and left.

Raechel decided to distract herself; she looked around at her traveling companions. Then she saw a little human girl and little Bothan girl sitting between two crates with their dolls, a blanket had been spread out over their heads making a "house."

Raechel smiled at the sweet scene. Without really thinking about it she took out her pencil, turned to a clean page and started to draw it. Children began to gather around her to watch her work, she didn't mind, she liked the company.

She didn't notice that the ship had landed and that passengers were boarding and getting off. In fact she was oblivious to everything until she heard someone talk to her:

"Raechel Hennel?"

Raechel looked up and just barely hid her shock there stood Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi looking at her. She stood up, they both still towered over her. She was short for her age and was forever being mistaken for being younger than she really was.

"Yes?" she asked once she was able to speak.

~*~

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan had gone through checking-in, customs and boarding quickly. Once on board Qui-Gon went about trying to find Raechel Hennel. No one at the Temple knew what she looked like, not even a rough description. Qui-Gon went among the passengers that appeared to have been there for a while, but most of them, even the humans, didn't understand and/or did not speak Basic.

"Over there, Master," Obi-Wan whispered to Qui-Gon, gesturing to two women, a human and a Bothan, who sat chatting, in Basic, as they mended clothes.

"Excuse me?" Qui-Gon asked. The women looked up. "I am looking for Raechel Hennel, have yo

 

Part 3

As she stood there with two of the most influential beings in Star Wars History all Raechel could think was that she could just imagine what Obi- Wan thought of her, "another pathetic life form."

"Please sit." She gestured to the boxes that surrounded her "camp."

She and the two Jedi sat in a circle.

"I feel I should tell you that I am able to take care of myself, but I have never been to Coruscant before, thus I do not know my way around. Otherwise I would go on my own. I really do not mean to inconvenience you," she told them. 'As far as part of me knows I have never been to any of the places that the other part of me remembers. I wonder what they would do if I said that aloud?' She almost burst out laughing, but she was able to keep her face passive.

"It is no inconvenience," Qui-Gon assured her.

Just then a bell rang.

"Meal bell," Raechel explained. "Are you hungry? The food is pretty good."

Qui-Gon nodded, Obi-Wan glanced over at him then nodded as well.

"I'll get the food," Raechel said, getting up.

"Thank you, Raechel,' Qui-Gon said.

"Call me Rae, everyone does," she told both of them. "If I was just walking down a hall and someone called Raechel, I probably wouldn't respond." She shrugged and walked off.

Rae knew that the main reason Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan had agreed to a meal was because Qui-Gon wished to speak with his Padawan alone, Rae didn't mind. Right now, though, she did feel a little envious of Obi-Wan because he still had Qui-Gon, who was like a father to him, and her mother was dead.

She shook that thought off.

~*~

They had finished eating about an hour ago. The meal had been a silent affair. Obi-Wan had then wrapped his brown cloak close about him and fallen asleep, knowing, from experience, that there were no guarantees as to when he would get a chance to rest again. Qui-Gon sat on a box reading a datapad. Rae was coming back from the 'fresher when she knocked her bag off a box as she entered their little "camp." She swore softly in several languages and began to gather her things. Qui-Gon set down his datapad and helped her. He handed her two lightsabers. He could immediately tell which Rae's was and which was her mother's since he had seen her mother's many times. They had picked up basically everything when he saw a small book lying open face down on the floor, a pencil stuck between the pages. He picked it up, turned it over and looked at the pages. On a page was a sketch of a Bothan, a human, a Wookie and a Duro playing dajark. It was very life like and held something that a holo just couldn't have captured, as if the artist could see beyond what was on the surface just by observing.

Qui-Gon was pulled out of his thoughts by a discrete cough. He looked up and saw Rae holding out her hand for the book. He closed it and gave it to her.

"That was a very good sketch," he told her. "You have a great gift of insight. It brings life to it."

Rae paused in putting the book away then handed it back to him and shrugged. "You can look at it if you want to," she said, truly not caring. She rarely used her journal as a journal, more as a sketch book.

Qui-Gon took it with a nod. She sat down; since she was cold she pulled out a blanket and wrapped it around herself.

"This is good," Qui-Gon told her as he looked at the sketch of her.

She shrugged again. "I made it from one of the few holos that I look remotely ok in. Momma said I should have a picture of myself on the first page...I did it for her."

A lump formed in her throat. She worked around the sudden rush of emotion. It was almost overwhelming. She took deep breaths to try and get them under control.

Qui-Gon gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I am fine," Rae told him, not looking at him.

For some reason she found herself wanting to ask him questions about grief, but she didn't think he could help her. He may have lost Tahl, but he had never lost a parent figure. She was pretty sure that the loss of a love was different from that of a parent figure.

Qui-Gon knew so

 

*hooked like a fish on a hook, again.* your good at this.

 

I am climbing into the boat to read this story, says the little fish. Excellent story look forward to more.

 

I?m glad you guys like this! I decided to go back after I realized that I had made a lot of grammatical mistakes and that there were things I wanted to add.

Here?s the next part!

~*~

Part 4

They arrived at Coruscant 8 hours later. Rae had changed into her robes by then. She wore a pair of dark blue leggings, a dark blue round neck shirt, a brown vest-like tunic, brown boots, a brown Jedi cloak and hers and her mother's lightsabres hung at her waist.

She followed Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to the temple. They got to the Council chambers and were let right in.

Rae felt extremely nervous. She was standing in front of Jedi Masters that she had only read about and seen in movies. She had to force herself not to squirm under their scrutiny.

"Welcome, Raechel Hennel," Mace Windu said.

"Thank you Master Windu," she replied bowing.

If he was surprised at the fact that she knew who he was he did not show it.

"Trained you have been," Yoda said. "How much know you?"

"My mother told me that she taught me as much as an Initiate in the Temple knew plus a little more. She said that I am up to the same level as other students my age."

"Hmm...Not quite though," he said. "A Padawan you are not."

"No sir."

"Hmm...Consider your case we will," Yoda told her. "A room you have been assigned. Waiting for you outside a student is. Show you where to go they will."

Rae bowed. "Thank you Masters."

She walked out the door, a little surprised at how fast that had gone.

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan debriefed to the Council. Then Yoda dropped the proverbial bomb.

"A new assignment we have for you."

"The Supreme Chancellor has asked us to send someone to act as ambassadors to the planet of Naboo, to settle the Trade Federation's boycott."

"Masters, if I may?"

Yoda nodded.

"I wish to bring Raechel Hennel with us. I was in contact with Sahna for many years, I am sorry that I never told you, but I had to honor her wishes. She asked me to watch over Raechel until she became a Padawan if anything were to happen to her."

The Council members looked at each other, considering his request.

Finally Mace spoke.

"Though we are not thrilled with the fact that you kept Sahna's location from us we agree."

"Thank you, my masters," Qui-Gon said, bowing.

"Leave soon you must. May the Force be with you," Yoda told them.

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan walked out of the room. Qui-Gon could feel Obi-Wan's annoyance at having to deal with Raechel some more. Qui-Gon knew this would be a good lesson for his Padawan in patience and in the Living Force.

"You had best do what ever you need to do before we leave, Padawan."

"Yes, Master," Obi-Wan walked off.

Qui-Gon went off to find Rae.

He checked her room first, there was no one there, it appeared that she had just stopped in long enough to drop her things off and look around then had left.

He thought for a moment trying to think of where she might be. Then he remembered something and smiled. He walked off in the direction of the lake.

~*~

Rae sat on a rock by the lake. She was wearing a beige tank top and blue shorts, which was the swimming attire for Jedi students. She was dripping wet from the swim she had taken just minutes before. She was thinking about how odd it was. She knew that she was Raechel Hennel, only daughter of Sahna Hennel, who had been raped, she was 13 and that her mother was dead. In the SW world she and her mother had always been moving from planet to planet. They had had very little money and had often lived in the worst parts of town. In the Earth world she and her mother had moved around a lot to different places, had had very little money and had lived in some of the worst parts of town. The two lives were not all that different, except for the fact that her mother had been a Jedi Knight, she hadn't been very strong, but she had been one of the best historians. In Earth her mother had where she could, doing odd jobs most of the time. She sat there remembering things from both memories.

"Peaceful, isn't it?

 

Part 5

Rae fiddled with her maze pendant; it was a nervous and bored habit from both lives, as she had come to call them that she really needed to break. She was standing with Qui-Gon and Ogre - Oops! Ahem. - *Obi*-Wan. The Trade Fed. ship dominated the viewport.

"Captain."

"Yes, Sir?"

"Tell them we wish to board immediately."

"With all due respect the Ambassadors wish to board immediately."

"Yes, yes! Of course! As you know, our blockade is perfectly legal. We would be happy to receive the Ambassadors!"

Rae was glad that she had her hood up; a look of disgust crossed her face as she looked at the piece of scum on the screen.

The ship landed. Rae thanked the pilot and copilot, knowing that there was really nothing she could do to stop what would happen to them without questions being asked. She wasn't even a Padawan; it wasn't likely that they would listen to her even if she did say something.

She followed Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon.

"I am TC-14. This way please."

They followed the droid to the room.

"We are greatly honored by your presence, Ambassadors. My master will be with you shortly."

They watched TC-14 leave then lowered their hoods.

Rae moved over to the window and looked out at the endless stars.

"I have a bad feeling about this."

"I sense nothing."

"It's not about the mission, Master, it's elsewhere...elusive."

"Don't center on your anxieties, Obi-Wan, keep your focus on the here and now."

The two of them moved over to the window.

"But Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future."

"But not at the expense of the present. Be mindful of the Living Force Padawan."

"Yes, Master."

Rae didn't listen to the rest of the conversation; she knew it by heart anyway. She reached up and began to fiddle with her pendant again. She had so much on her mind.

After a while Qui-Gon and Ogre - damn - Obi-Wan went and sat at the table. Rae remained at the window.

When TC-14 came in with the drinks she finally went over and sat down. They sat there for a while, drinking. Suddenly there was an explosion.

Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Rae all drew and lit their lightsabres. They all stood stock still for a few seconds then they heard the quiet hiss of gas being seeped into the chamber.

"Dioxis," Qui-Gon rapped out.

Rae knew immediately what to do as she shut off her lightsabre, the silver blade disappearing.

Rae had always wondered how long Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon had really stayed in the chamber. Well it looked like she was going to find out first hand.

~*~

Qui-Gon lost track of time. Finally the doors opened. TC-14 walked out saying "Oh! Excuse me!"

He heard a battle droid say, "Roger, roger."

Then Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Rae lit their lightsabres. They started out deflecting the bolts then they leapt out of the cover of the gas.

Qui-Gon had been worried about Rae that she would need help in fighting; her mother had been a horrible sabrewoman. As she had often put it, she could teach the art of sabre fighting, no problem, but when it came to actually fighting she was the worst. Rae however apparently did not have that problem. She wielded her silver blade with great skill and ease for someone of her age. Qui-Gon could now see that she was stronger than her mother had been in the Force.

The three of them began to fight their way down the hall. Finally they reached the bridge doors. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Rae took care of the droids that were standing guard there then Rae and Obi-Wan stood guard as Qui-Gon cut into the doors. Qui-Gon could sense a new respect for the girl coming from his Padawan.

Then his cutting was stalled.

"They closed the blast doors!" Rae called.

Qui-Gon removed his lightsabre then stabbed it right into the middle of the door. He stood there like that for a while

Suddenly Obi-Wan called out.

"Master, destroyers!"

Qui-Gon once again removed his lightsabre from the door and helped the two young people with the shielded droids.

"It's a stand off! Let's go!"

Obi-Wan and Rae took off after him. Th

 

Part 6

Rae was running through the swamps being chased by two droids. Finally she just got tired of running, took out her lightsabre and started deflecting the shots. The droids were destroyed seconds later and she started running again.

Rae saw Qui-Gon's running form ahead of her, she picked up her pace and soon caught up to him.

"Haven't we met before?"

Qui-Gon looked over at her then shook his head in amusement.

Suddenly they heard the Trade Fed. ship right behind them so they really picked up the pace.

They were concentrating so hard on trying to out run the machine that they almost didn't see the Gungan right in front of them.

"Get down! Get down!" Qui-Gon shouted, waving his arm.

Jar Jar however grabbed onto Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon forced the Gungan down, Rae dropped to the ground about a foot away.

As the machine passed over them it pushed them further into the mud. Rae didn't mind getting dirty, in fact her mother had often said that she excelled at finding new ways to dirty her clothes, but having her face shoved into mud wasn't her idea of a good time. Finally the transport was gone. Rae got up, wiping her face off on her sleeve and started to walk off briskly beside Qui-Gon.

"Hey wait!" Jar Jar called.

"Oh muy muy I love yous!"

"Are you stupid?" Rae asked incredulously.

"I speck!" Jar Jar told her indignantly.

"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent! Now get out of here!" Qui-Gon told him.

"No no! Mesa stay! Mesa called Jar Jar Binks. Mesa your humble servant."

"That won't be necessary."

"Oh bot it tis! Tis demanded by de gawds it is!"

Just then they heard droids coming, firing.

"Get down!"

Qui-Gon and Rae lit their lightsabres as Obi-Wan came running into view. Qui-Gon took down the one and Rae the other.

"You saved my again!"

"What's this?" Obi-Wan asked when he had reached them.

"Local," Rae shrugged.

Qui-Gon leveled a look at Obi-Wan who grimaced. "The swamp fried my lightsabre, Master."

Qui-Gon shook his head. "Come on; let's get out of here before more of them come." Qui-Gon started off, Obi-Wan and Rae following him.

"More?! More did yousa speak? Exsquezze me, but the mosta safest place would be Gungan city, tis a hidden city, tis where I grew up!"

The three Jedi stopped, looking at each other then the Gungan.

"A city?"

"Uhhuh."

"Can you take us there?"

"Umm...On second thought no. Not rilly no."

"No?"

"Tis embarrassing, but...umm...my afraid my have been banished, my forgotten. De Bosses do terrible things to me, terrrrrilbe things to me if my going back there!"

They heard a sound.

"You hear that?" Qui-Gon asked lifting a finger.

"Uhhuh."

"That is the sound of a thousand terrible things headed this way," Rae told him walking closer to him.

"And if they find us they will crush us, grind us into tiny pieces and blast us into oblivion!" Obi-Wan joined in.

"Umm...Yousa point is well seen. Dis way! Hurry!"

"You enjoyed that far too much, Obi-Wan," Rae told him with a grin.

"So did you," he shot back, a smile spread across his face. He was starting to get used to her, she wasn't as helpless as he thought she would be and that won her points with him. She had also shown him how badly he had underestimated her and still needed work in the area of the Living Force.

~*~

I am going to skip over the whole scene with the Bosses because nothing at all changes there (and it isn't really that interesting of a scene if you ask me.)

The four of them sat in the bongo, Obi-Wan piloting it, Rae co-piloting it and Qui-Gon and Jar Jar in the back seats.

"Dis is nuttsin! Oh guberfish!"

"Why were you banished Jar Jar?"

"It's a no otello-"

"In my experience when someone says something along the lines of 'It's a no otello' it usually is and otello, a big otello," Rae cut in.

Jar Jar gave her an annoyed glare, which she returned.

"Jar Jar?" Qui-Gon prompted, trying to diplomatically break up the fight. It probably would have gone on for a [i

 

looks interesting to me

 

Will she save Qui-Gon?

I know i'm fast. Am i right?

 

maramijade: Thank you!

Arya_Xalia_Skywalker: lol You are talking to one of the biggest Qui-Gon fans ever.

Sorry this took so long!

~*~

Part 7

Rae was hardly listening to Jar Jar carry on, explaining about how it was that he got banished. Then she remembered something. She stretched out with the Force...and confirmed her suspicions.

"Obi-Wan turn NOW!"

"What?"

"Just do it!"

So he did, but it was no good. They were suddenly jerked back.

"Crap!"

"Uh oh! Big gubbor fish! Huge ottie!"

Suddenly they were released. The big sea creature had caught the gubbor fish in his mouth.

"There's always a bigger fish."

"Mesa thinkn' wesa goin' back now!"

Rae snorted and muttered, "Yeah right."

Just then the ship started to sink.

"We're losing power!"

Rae gave Obi-Wan a look that said, 'No really?!'

"Ohhh...Wesa die in here!"

Obi-Wan worked to get the power back; Rae let him.

"We're not in trouble yet," Qui-Gon told Jar Jar.

Rae turned around in the seat as Jar Jar, who was seated right behind her, looked over at Qui-Gon.

"What yet?" Rae started mocking Jar Jar's movements. "Leakin' in here, monsters out there, all sinkin' and no power! Whena yousa thinkin' wesa in trouble?!"

He turned around and looked at Rae who had composed her face into an expressionless mask.

Obi-Wan barely kept himself from laughing as he said, "Power's back."

As the lights came on they shown right on another beast. Jar Jar, of course flipped out. Qui-Gon put his hand on Jar Jar's shoulder and told him to relax, using the Force. Jar Jar slumped in the seat, unconscious.

"You over did it," the two younger Jedi said together.

They ran into the last monster as they left the cave.

"Lunch time," Rae muttered under her breath.

Obi-Wan smirked at that.

When they reached the surface they all stood up and looked around. She turned to Obi-Wan and said, "Remind me never to do something like that again, if I can help it."

"I agree whole heartedly."

~*~

The foursome crept through the streets of Theed - actually Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Rae crept; Jar Jar did his best not to trip or anything.

They soon found a group of people being lead by Trade Fed. droids. Five of them were young women dressed in red and yellow robes, another was an official looking man, several armed guards and their captain, and finally a young woman dressed in black wearing theatrical makeup.

"It's the queen, her handmaidens, her guard and Governor Bibble," Rae whispered.

"Now just to figure out how to get to them," Qui-Gon said.

Rae looked around, getting her bearings.

"This way!" She started up a stairway; Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Jar Jar followed her. The crept along a upper walkway to a bridge. When they looked over the rail they saw the Queen's entourage headed their way.

Rae, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon unclipped their lightsabres. They then jumped down on the group. Obi-Wan, Rae and Qui-Gon made short work of the droids.

"Your Majesty, I suggest we leave the streets," Qui-Gon said.

"Get their guns," Panaka ordered his men.

They all hurried out of the streets and into the ally.

Qui-Gon explained that they were the Ambassadors. Bibble marked off that their negotiations had failed, which Qui-Gon replied to by saying that they never took place.

"They knocked out all of our communications," Panaka reported.

"Do you have transports?"

"In the main hangar, this way."

~*~

Things ran as they were supposed to. When Obi-Wan went off to free the pilots Rae thought about following him, but thought better of it and stuck with Qui-Gon.

The droid tried to stop them then all hell broke lose. Rae, Qui-Gon and Obi- Wan finished off the droids.

The ship lifted off. Soon they reached the blockade.

~*~

As the ship took off Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon headed for the bridge. Qui-Gon asked Rae to find someplace for Jar Jar to go. She took him to a out of the way room telling him, "Stay here and don't get into trouble

 

still looks good

LOL for a minute I misread the line "is it that obvious?" as "isn't it obvious?" and I for some odd reason thought Obi was boing to say something along the lines that he thought Qui was her father. .. where in the world did that come from???!!
