| THE REQUIEMS |

NO I disagree totally - Bekka and happy endings get along beautifully. I liked If I Should Leave You also, but I am still working my way thru a story so I'll decide later which one is the fav. Liked the 1st one where they met.

Nice post Bekka. What is the name? please? I answered your question...........'nother post soon?

 

Actually, her name is Kyra. Just some random soldier in the army of the Republic that I plucked out of my mind.

I'll make Second Grace a VERY happy ending.

 

I'll make Second Grace a VERY happy ending.

Why does that frighten me?

 

Must be the "happy ending" said by the person who was recently dubbed Darth Puffs. Go read my story on your thread... COMPLETELY TRUE, MY FRIEND! Happend TONIGHT.

 

*sigh* Thank you. I like it when you start plucking things out of your mind. I don't suppose you would pluck another post out, would you oh mighty PuffMaster?

*jumping up and down, clapping paws and hooting with glee* Oh goody, another story.....uh oh my downstairs neighbor is mad, must've knocked down the china again.....hehehehe

 

Oh, not just one, my friend - two. For the price of one.

Ah, where was I...

I learned a lot about that elusive character that night. And a lot of nights afterwards when we'd meet in passing and start talking on cold nights on the bridge when hardly a soul was awake. Hardly anyone wasted precious sleeping time, but to be honest, I wouldn't have given anything for a minute less of talking to him. Of course I got a lot of flack from the gossip mongers a lot of the time. It was worth it, though. I'd like to think it was profitable for the both of us. He was an interesting character, General Kenobi. I learned that the necklace that I'd first saw him idly playing with was his wife's, and with a small quirk of smile said that he'd gone to great lengths to get it, and wasn't about to leave it behind. That the most common thing he'd ever heard in this war was "Tell my family it?ll be okay." You could tell by the far off look and the quietness after the statement that he had heard it all to recently. But most of all, that he wasn't nearly as cold and dark as most say that he is, and most of all that he certainly isn't insane, as most of the higher-ups try to pollute into the minds of the pucks when they first arrive.

But no matter how much I talked to him, I never shook the feeling that I'd never even scratched the surface of who he was. His demeanor - always stoic to the point of insanity. His smiles - never truly there, with a glint of self deprecating, depression in his eyes. I suppose there are some things you never get over. He told me once that he didn't even have a picture of her - only memories of days gone by and happiness that leaked through his fingers.

I suppose all that's different now. I've not seen him in months. The last I'd heard is that he was having bounties placed on his head left and right from all directions. The Jedi Temple was destroyed not long ago, and I can't imagine what it was like for him. I never got to speak to him after the last conversation we had. I fear the worse, mostly.

Somehow... I think he knew what was to become of him. The last thing I ever heard him say to me was, "Things are changing, Kyra - for the worse. I hope you don't. I'll see you the next lonely, cold night. Force be with you." And I never saw him again.

I hope that somewhere... he's finally resting. If it be in death, I sincerely hope it's peaceful. Gods know that he deserved something after all he went through. For some reason I thought that when the crew or I would last see him, it would be with triumphant heralding light or some other cosmic phenomena. But it wasn't... he just slowly faded away of our lives, just as he had entered most things, I'd learned. Quietly, but leaving a mark on every person he flashed a smile to, or conspiratorially winked at.

The newest commanding officer of the ship is calling me again ? it better not be for another Gods be damned mission. I'll have to continue later.

End Transmission.

Iric wiped a solemn tear that had somehow leaked from his eye away from his dark face. He let out a deep, shaky breath and finally closed out of the end of Kyra's log. The rest of her personal effects filled a small crate, ready to be shipped to her mother. "You were kindred souls with him, Kyra. Hope you found peace, also, my friend." Iric kissed his fingertips before letting them rest on a scratched and torn holo.

Sighing deeply, he finally closed the crate and carried it out of the room, pausing quietly at the doorway. So much life, so much living yet to be had. She'd been assigned to a ground mission after she last recorded, and she never came back, as did the rest of her team. Reaching slowly, dejectedly for the light, he slowly turned it down to darkness. He could tangibly feel her presence in the room, her mark on every object within. He let one tear course down his cheek before closing the door securely.

He walked away, and he couldn't help b

 

Geez... why don't you just kill everyone already?! Oh, wait, you already did.

That's it, from now on when I read your fics, I am just going to HATE everyone. That way when they die, as they most assuredly will, I can cheer instead of be depressed!

EDIT: hmmph... you say the next chapter will be happy. It'd better be, and not just Obi dying alone and then going to join up with his family and Qui-Gon in the Force! (will he get Mara back???)

 

It better be a happy ending...no more death! I say we all riot! *holds up signs, marches around thread*

 

YOU WANT ME TO EDIT IT SO SHE LIVES?!

FINE!

Maybe the happy ending is that Obi-Wan will get together with her after he "moves on" and they can all movie to Tatooine, forget about the Brat-from-bratty-gene-pool and have a harem!!



My bad.

 

YOU WANT ME TO EDIT IT SO SHE LIVES!!!

Yup

 

And heck, if you're gonna go that far, bring Ryo back too!!!

Whoo hoo!

 

Hah! I only had to blow my nose this time!

Wonderful post, Darth Puffs!

 

*&%#@&*%@^ Bekka I got all excited when you said 2 for one....jumped up and down, broke something downstairs AND YOU KILLER HER OFF!!AND THEN STOPPED!!!!!!

No not Darth Puffs, Darth Torment and Anguish
aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh jumping up and down, pulling out fur, suddenly stops and - wait a minute - you didn't actually say she was dead, just that she didn't come back from the mission.........hhhmmmmmmmmmmm, what's up in your devious little mind now I wonder? and where exactly did Obi fade away to?..........hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

oh, btw - nice post Bekka. Nice use of emotion without going overboard. So have you named the second story yet?
runs around room chanting POST PLEASE!!!!

 

I named the second story "Second Grace".

And you're RIGHT, Flashbacca. - - Glares at CK - - NOT EVERYONE DIED. You can just believe whatever you want to.

I really should get you a more soundproof room, Flashbacca - you're going to quake the entire neighborhood.

And the vignette is titled "Ad Astra Per Aspera". Anyone who can tell me who that means will get a special treat of their choice.

 

*grins toothily at Bekka* well if you would hurry up and sell some of your wonderful stories then you could just buy me my own planet and I could hoot and holler all I wanted to.

Well I finally managed to finish the series, so I'm up-to-date.
Ahm, I can't pick a fav. I like them all for different reasons. Each one is best at what it does.

I will try to contain myself - if I do not my neighbor may very well have a wookie crashing thru the ceiling.

ok now for the part that is a must

POST POST POST POST POST POST PLEASE
