Beyond - Legends Losing my mind, going crazy, whacko -- Updated 05/26

Two great updates!

When she was crying on Kyp all I could think was awww...

I love how she is a Trek fan... lol! Kyp's response made me giggle... I could just see him introducing her to a Bothan!

 

?Kathryn.? I lied, giving him the first name that came to mind. ?Kathryn Janeway.?

a very good name


I was about to give him a flipping stupid remark when a door behind him opened. Some sort of thing stepped into the room and I was up and in the corner within a second. It was huge and hairy and had a snout. With fangs protruding towards the lower jaw. Its long pointy ears stuck up out of its head and its eyes were positively glowing purple. In a strange way, it looked like a camel on two legs.


The Bothan for sure might be very pleased to hear that




?Monks?? The dark-haired one said and he seemed peeved just by my question.

LOL monks is cool



I took deep breaths, squeezing my eyes shut and hoping that I had misread through the blurriness but when I finally got myself under control again and I blinked a few times ? yeah, definitely hospital room, although different from what I?d gotten to know throughout my life. Huge windows, no drapes. No TV, just blinking beeping machines out of some new age science-fiction movie. There was a small stall that seemed to function as a bathroom. I think.

?Calm down.? The lady voice said. ?No one is going to hurt you.?

I turned my head towards her and I think my eyes widened to huge UFO?s. Definitely no Dr. Quinn. Definitely no human.

No comparison with Doctor Julian Bashir or someone ... maybe Doctor Beverly Crusher .. XD.

Ah?the seventies hair style specialist Master Skywalker.

ROFLAMO



He didn?t put me down. The idiot let me fall.

He has a bad temper after all



Ha! Chuck Norris in Jedi robes! It made me laugh.

LOL XD.



?No, sorry. Master Durron?s on his ??

?What??

This so could not be happening! I didn?t want to trade in the nice, talkative, informative kid for the jerk!

?He just got done with class and since he?s only around the corner ? well, he?ll be here in a few minutes.?

What a lucky day for her she must so love that



I felt a sudden pain in my side ? it hurt like a beep. I looked down towards the stinging hurt and the first thing I noticed was a blood stain that grew larger with each passing second. The woman held a dagger in her hand, coated with my blood and she laughed at me. ?Use your healing techniques and you might live.?

Poor girl
She has to get into troubles at every turn she takes huh?



I threw my arms around Master Durron?s neck, burying my face in his shoulder. And I let lose all that was still hiding inside of me. I don?t know how long it took but he held me while I wept.

Lol
The soft side of Mister Durron huh?!

And I will be forever grateful.



I sat cuddled up against Master Durron, belatedly realizing just how much I?d drooled and slobbered all over the man. His shoulder held an odd looking spittle and tear stain.

How sweet XD

?You know what really surprises me here?? I said in a low voice, still not moving away from Master Durron?s shoulder. I look hideous with a tear blotched and I really didn?t feel like seeing pity in his eyes. ?All the aliens around here. Back home the only aliens we see are on TV or in the movies and sometimes they look like puppets. You actually sit back and wonder when you?ll see the strings holding them up.?

He might look blankly at her for that XD

?Yep. Tall, warrior aliens with ugly ridges on their foreheads. But kinda cool. Although personally, I always favored Vulcans or Romulans.? I grinned at myself for sounding so damned silly. ?They have pointy ears.? I whispered.

Too bad she can?t show him the shows XD

?We have a few species with pointy ears.? He said and I detected amusement in his voice. ?I could acquaint you. Some of them are quite hairy though. Unless you don?t mind that either.?

She has met Tekli pointy ears XD

I narrowed my eyes. ?You did that on purpose, didn?t you??

Obviously he didn?t answer. But that evil smile told me everything I needed to know.

Idiot.

Sagt man im deutschen nicht so schön: was sich liebt das neckt sich?

 

Big Hugs go out to Maggy!

---

?So, what?s with all the people outside?? I asked when Master Durron and I walked side by side down yet another one of those ginormous hallways. I couldn?t help but wonder why everything had to be so huge with the Jedi. I mean, were they compensating for something?

The thought almost made the teenage girly side of me giggle. I?m so bad when it comes to having my mind in the gutter.

While walking along a fluffy red carpet, I glanced sideways at Master Durron and couldn?t help the flurries of stupid, obnoxious butterflies wreaking havoc in my tummy. So great, he?d been nice to me for a while but something told me it was a one-time event in my case.

But then I asked myself, what if he?s always nice? What if he?s like this disguised Prince in non-existent shining armor just waiting to sweep me off my feet?

Daydreams should have been a subject in school. I would have totally aced the class.

?Demonstrators.? Master Durron said quietly, leading the way around a corner down a small flight of stairs.

?And I take it they?re demonstrating against the Jedi??

He nodded. ?Yes. Anti Jedi sentiments and all that.?

?Why??

He shrugged, clasping his hands behind his back. ?It?s a long story and it shouldn?t concern you.?

I was so not on board with that answer. ?Hey, come on. I think I have a right to a few answers here. I mean, ever since I got here everything?s been so friggin? cloak-and-daggery. And I?m sick of having to constantly ask for explanations.?

We walked through an enormous set of double doors ? definitely compensating for [i]something[/i] ? and right into a deliciously smelling wonderland of food. The Jedi mess was huge, obviously, with tables neatly rowed along the walls. At the far end of the hall stood a long buffet with all sorts of food; the first half seemed to be the appetizers, then came the main dishes and then desert. I was all for desert.

?Stop asking questions if you?re sick of asking them. Makes sense, doesn?t it??

I ground my teeth and followed him to the buffet table, ogling the assortment of food. There were a few things I would have dared myself to try. Little tiny blue berries, something that resembled a banana only it was red. There was cold steak and I think mashed potatoes. It smelled good, it looked good but after all that I?d been through, I needed sugar.

Soulfood, here I come.

?I almost died out there! I have a right to know what the hell is going on!?

Master Durron shot me an incredulous look. ?You did not almost die.?

I snorted. ?Well, back home I would have! So it?s the same thing!?

I saw a stupid grin on his face and I tried my best to ignore it. I hated the fact that he wasn?t taking me seriously. I mean, a stab in the stomach any-which-way was certain death, wasn?t it? At least in my melodramatic-multiple-exaggeration-book.

?And even if not, someone needs to compensate for all the crap I?ve gone through. I lost blood because of all this.?

?No one forced you to run away, sweetheart.?

I stopped right in front of the sweets and was about to grab a plate but I stopped in mid movement.

He called me sweetheart, didn?t he?

Aw, hell no he didn?t!

?Don?t call me that.? I said in an icily cold tone. The few people in the mess hall were already staring but since I was slowly but surely getting used to all the attention, I didn?t care.

Master Durron grinned. ?Don?t like that, huh??

?No, I don?t. So don?t call me that. Instead, explain to me why I got stabbed!?

I had a distinct feeling he was doing this on purpose. How could a person be like this, though? Where was compassion and understanding? Why was he acting like this when he could have made it so much easier?

I decided that Master Durron being nice to me really was only a one time thing. It was a lapse in judgment I bet.

And as much as I disliked him at that moment, those stupid dumb butterflies were still spiraling away inside my stomach.

Just great.

He stood next to me, eyeing the buffet with a scrutinizing gaze. I grabbed a bowl instead of a plate and scooped up something

 

ROFL!!! Fun update!!!!!! I love the blend of emotions she's feeling right about now, though soon I'm sure the "hots for Kyp" will win out LOL but he has to admit he has a little attraction/caring for her too.

Though after the food fight, it might take a while.

 

?So, what?s with all the people outside?? I asked when Master Durron and I walked side by side down yet another one of those ginormous hallways. I couldn?t help but wonder why everything had to be so huge with the Jedi. I mean, were they compensating for something?

ROFLAMO
What shall they compensate? The lack of ... well we might discuss this off-site XD.

The thought almost made the teenage girly side of me giggle. I?m so bad when it comes to having my mind in the gutter.

Oh yes your mind is definitely in the gutter. Tsk tsk - behave

So his charms have rubbed off to her? I suppose it was the nice side he had been showing her just previously.

But then I asked myself, what if he?s always nice? What if he?s like this disguised Prince in non-existent shining armor just waiting to sweep me off my feet?

He is no prince charming and as she already noticed he has no armour either, not even a shiny one

Daydreams should have been a subject in school. I would have totally aced the class.

Not quit yet there to the part

?No one forced you to run away, sweetheart.?

He didn?t just say that now, did he?! He didn?t say that

Lemme reread that ...

Yes, yes he really said it

?sweetheart??!?! where did that come from?!?!

I stopped right in front of the sweets and was about to grab a plate but I stopped in mid movement.

He called me sweetheart, didn?t he?

Aw, hell no he didn?t!

Hey! I found a Ceillean story! My Day's Happyness scale just went up five points!

 

Food fight!!!!! Wonderful update Ceillean. Though it makes me even hungrier.

 

I ducked behind a low table as I saw a pastry of some sort flying my way. Not only were Master Durron and I battling each other with food, but everyone in the mess hall was in on it as well. And it was obvious that we were all having fun.

I mean, I even glimpsed a tiny itty bitty smile on Master Durron?s face and that has to count for something, right?

I was completely splattered in all sorts of food. I stank to high heaven.

But the others weren?t better off either.

?Aren?t you supposed to keep us from throwing food at each other?? I yelled over to Master Durron, arming myself with a fist full of pudding. It was squishy in my hand, oozing in between my fingers but still I managed to throw the stuff towards Durron, without getting too much of it on myself.

I caught him right in the chest as he came up from his hiding place behind a table, ready to throw something in return.

Yeah, with all these Jedi senses and bla bla, you?d think the man was quicker?

From the corner of my eye, I saw the entrance door to the mess hall open silently. It?s amazing how quiet this technology is. I mean, you can sneak up on people in this world and cause multiple heart attacks! Would have come in handy back home sometimes. Oh well.

So anyway, from the corner of my eye, I see this gorgeous tall man with dark hair enter, his cloak swaying behind him. Drama, I tell you.

Drama.

A born movie star, if you ask me.

The guy who smelled good. The guy I managed to get away from while he was supposed to be babysitting me.

Ganner.

Oh, he looked marvelous. His clothes more or less twinkled when he walked. And he knew he looked good because he oozed arrogance.

Plus, he smiled this grin that just made me edgy. Here was this Prince walking into a messhall with a food fight going on and he was still all clean and tidy?

Uh-uh.

No way.

So I armed myself again and instead of going for Master Durron, I went for Ganner. Whatever it was I had been holding smacked him in the face with a loud crunch. The rainbow colored stuff slouched down his handsome features and dripped onto the front of his white, sparkly shirt. I heard Master Durron bark out a laugh but quiet down almost immediately. Of course, he couldn?t be caught having fun! This was a childish game, after all!

I gasp. The nerve!

Ganner stood there with shock written all over his face. He just stared at me, open mouthed. Until about a minute later when he growled and started yelling like a crazy man. And I thought women went loony when they ruined their clothes. Jeez.

Master Durron came up from his hiding place and hurried to calm Ganner down. It wasn?t working as well though. Ganner kept jabbing a finger at my chest.

?I hope you know that you?re going to be paying for this!? He said loudly, gesturing at the still growing stain on his chest. ?Do you know how much this shirt cost?!?

?I?m guessing a lot by the way that vein is pulsing in your forehead.? I said, pointing at his hairline. I couldn?t even manage not to smile.

?You?re supposed to be watching her, Durron!?

?Hey!? I drawled out. ?I?m not a baby anymore, you know.? I gave Ganner a pointed stare with arched brows.

He, in turn, looked me up and down and snorted.

What an ass.

?Ganner, just calm down. Give the shirt to the cleaning droids and all is good.?

?The shirt cost over five hundred credits. I?m not giving it to those outdated droids! Have you lost your mind??

Wow. David Beckham from another universe?

?Hey, do you put make-up on and paint your nails, too? I hear black the new color for men.? I batted my eyelashes at him while he narrowed sparkling blue eyes. He looked like he was about to pounce on me.

?For your information ?? He started but Master Durron stepped in between the line of fire and shook his head.

?Enough, children. Behave.?

?And this coming from you?? Ganner asked incredulously. ?You?re the one wasting food!?

I heard giggles coming from the back where the other Jedi trainees stood watching us. At least they were having fun. I was getting bored.

Ganner ruined everything, t

 

David Beckham LOL!!!!!! Kat's a trip!!!!

I'm glad she gave into those ... urges



Squee!

Now it's his turn.

 

And on to the next update.

---

I tried retracing my steps back to the quarters Master Skywalker had assigned to me. Obviously, I got lost. First, thinking clearly was something of a problem and secondly, the place was so friggin huge and all the halls looked the same, I wondered if you needed a navigational system built into your brain just to get around.

I mean sure, there were a few signs here and there (holographic things ? kinda cool, actually) but I still couldn?t read the language. I made a note to myself to finally get to work on the reading. Who knew how long I?d be stuck here and someday, I would actually like to get around on my own without needing a babysitter.

A few people passed by me shooting me the strangest looks, giving me the once over.

Yeah, I was covered in food. So what?

I bet I smelled, too.

Move along, stop staring.

Eventually I stopped walking, deciding it would just be simpler to ask someone for directions. You know the feeling when you don?t want help, people keep bumping into you and when you actually [i]need[/i] someone, they?ve suddenly disappeared? How annoying is that?

I stood in a great big fat hall [i]alone[/i]. Everyone was gone all of a sudden.

So I walked on in the same direction, my mind whirling, my thoughts going haywire.

Damn. I?d kissed Master Durron.

Fine, a tiny itty bit part of me had hoped this was some sort of personal fairy tale. Girl wakes up in strange new world, girl falls for dastardly handsome big mouthed hero, girl kisses said hero and all would be fine.

Fairy tales don?t exist.

Humiliated. Embarassed. I wanted something to swallow me and never again spit me out. What had I been thinking? And all this in front of an audience!

I could never again look into Master Durron?s face without me blushing like crazy. He must think I?m insane!

This isn?t even like me. I don?t go around kissing good-looking strangers, although sometimes I do fantasize about doing just that. It would at least bring a bit more spice into my life. I knew I?d never see the strangers again but Master Durron was around here all the time.

I came up to an intersection of sorts. Either I walked left or I walked right and still there was no one in sight. I felt like those girls in the horror flicks right before the murderer jumps at you with a meat cleaver. It was too friggin? quiet.

Maybe all the Jedi were out having fun and no one had told me about the party.

Hugging myself, I turned left and kept walking. There were tall windows on my right and curiosity got the better of me. I walked up towards the window and took a long look outside. I yearned to go out there, to see with my own eyes what life was like on this alien world. Instead I was stuck here, locked up like a common criminal.

I understood that it was for my own good but seriously, a girl can only take so much. Protection or not, I needed out.

?You?re going the wrong way.?

I turned around, startled at the voice behind me. A part of me had hoped it would be Master Durron but it wasn?t.

Just my luck, huh?

Instead, Ganner smiled at me. It seemed he?d found the time to change. He wore a bright yellow shirt with black, rather tight fitting pants and matching boots. I had to wonder why men around here wore tight pants. What if they had a big butt? A big fashion no-go.

Anyway, his lightsaber dangled from a wide black belt. He reminded me of a pirate, actually. The hat was missing and maybe even the eye patch. I mean, he had the beautiful hair and the yummy look but ? yeah, I still didn?t like him much.

?You don?t even know where I was headed.? I answered matter-of-factly, glowering at him.

?That way,? He pointed in the direction I?d been walking, ?leads towards the Hangar Bay. Were you planning a trip??

Oh, I would have loved to go on a trip.

?If you were,? He continued. ?I?d advise you take a shower first.?

I took a look down my dirty clothes and I really had to agree.

?You stink.?

Now I really didn?t want to hear that from [i]him[/i]!

I felt a blush color my cheeks and cleared my throat. ?I g

 

Hmmm. If I didn't know better, i'd say Kyp was running from some one kat's disappointed and frustrated she cannot apologize and perhaps lay one on him again



Ganner's probably not used to a woman being indifferent [face_yawn]

 

The food fight post was totally hilarious
who would ever have guessed Kyp taking part in one

and the kiss





what a shame that he took Ganner's mission and he is now stuck with her - I'm so sure she is not very pleased about that.

I wanna see how long Ganner can keep up with her and how long Kyp is staying away

awesome updates Ceillean

 

Almost caught up!

 

almost caught up!

 

Two days passed in which I sulked. My mind wouldn?t stop working on overload. I couldn?t sleep, I couldn?t eat ? and not only because the food around here is rather strange. I was distracted and preoccupied. There was only one thing on my mind. One person actually. Master Durron.

I really wanted to talk to him. He must have thought I was completely crazy in the head. I wanted to clear things up, to tell him that I was not insane and that I had an explanation for planting that kiss on him. Honestly, I didn?t have an explanation but he didn?t have to know that.

It was a kind of in-the-moment-thing, you know? I saw a chance and I took it. However dumb it was.

On the third day of staring out the window like a love struck teenager, there was a sharp bang at my door. Groaning like an old person, I shuffled to the controls and punched the green button to open the door. I wasn?t surprised to see Ganner standing in front of me with a big fat grin on his handsome face.

I couldn?t help but wonder who his stylist was, though. He had taste, I had to admit but sometimes he went a bit overboard with all the colors. Last time he came to annoy me, he was wearing a pink shirt. Not the kind of nice pink that some men wear but the kind of pink that simply hurts your eyes so badly, you want to pluck your eyeballs out of their sockets.

?What do you want?? I asked tiredly, eying him from head to toe. His dark hair was bound at the nape of his neck. His long tunic was a pretty dark blue and reminded me of a night sky. And, of course, he wore the tight pants again. You know, you can?t even call them pants. They?re more like leggings. Ballet leggings.

Good God.

I held back a grin when I pictured Ganner jumping around in a pink tutu with matching slippers and leggings.

?I get to show you around the city.?

Now this was good news. ?Seriously??

?Yeah.? He stepped passed me and into my itty bitty tiny quarters, giving the place a scrutinizing gaze. I hadn?t done anything with the room, thinking that I wasn?t going to be staying here for too long anyway. But I was getting the feeling that it wouldn?t be such a bad idea to make the place feel a bit more homey, a bit more comfortable. ?Master Skywalker thinks it?s about time you get to know the place.?

?Took him long enough.?

Ganner shrugged. ?It wasn?t his decision to make, sadly. He has a boss to answer to as well. Namely, the government.?

?Oh, goodie.?

?So get dressed and let?s go.?

I shot him an arched look and crossed my arms in front of my chest. ?I am dressed.? I owned exactly one piece of clothing. A dark blue outfit that would best fit in the category of construction work. Or PJ?s, depending on who you asked. I don?t know what they did with the clothes I had when I arrived in this strange new world. They better not have torn the stuff up or burned it because it cost a damned fortune.

Ganner looked me up and down and raised his brows. ?Oh.?

I frowned. ?What?s that supposed to mean??

?Nothing. Let?s get you something decent to wear first.?

Decent to wear? And this from the guy who voluntarily wore pink?



Good God, the man dragged me to a mall!

It didn?t add up in my brain, it really didn?t. Men and malls don?t match. It?s an abnormality, a physical impossibility!

And he?d brought reinforcements. Jysella Horn (I later learned she was Valin?s sister) and Tahiri Veila. It made for an interesting image, no doubt. Ganner walking with his head held high, all arrogant as he strutted with Tahiri on one arm and Jysella on the other?and me trailing behind like a lost puppy with hands stashed in the pockets of the jumpsuit and staring at the floor.

I bumped into a few people, apologized quickly and hurried to catch up with the trio. I accidently stepped on someone?s foot as well, a tall hairy being that really, really reminded me of a werewolf from a cheap 80ies movie. It took all I had not to start laughing.

?Here we are!? Ganner called and I groaned as I caught sight of a typical girly store. Even in another galaxy ? another universe for all I knew ? girly sto

 

Jys and Tahiri were getting more fun out of shopping than Kat was.

A Barbie doll?



Hope the message is from Kyp.

Yum!

Aww poor her, she has heart racings and upset stomach just because of a man ... she should know better the lil girl

And then the bad boy around the temple - additional headaches.

I really wanted to talk to him. He must have thought I was completely crazy in the head. I wanted to clear things up, to tell him that I was not insane and that I had an explanation for planting that kiss on him. Honestly, I didn?t have an explanation but he didn?t have to know that.

Of course she is completely crazy in her head - what else? She had to pick Mister Bad Boy I mean that is the guy your parents warn you about

It was a kind of in-the-moment-thing, you know? I saw a chance and I took it. However dumb it was.

Excuses, excuses, not even honest to herself

ROFLMAO - pink? Ohh Ganner turned into Barby XD she is wearing pink at any occasion LOL

And, of course, he wore the tight pants again. You know, you can?t even call them pants. They?re more like leggings. Ballet leggings.

ROFLMAO ... ballet leggings. At least he is wearing a long tunic *chuckles*

Good God.

?Baby, that?s something like ?sweet Force? in this universe?

LOL

I held back a grin when I pictured Ganner jumping around in a pink tutu with matching slippers and leggings.

ROFLMAO, she should suggest it to him to be the latest fashion trend where she comes from, how would he know besides reading in her mind

?I get to show you around the city.?

Woohoo - joy joy joy!!

Now this was good news. ?Seriously??

LOL suspicious the good one is?

Finally

The good Jedi is a bit slow

?Took him long enough.?

LOL

Ganner shrugged. ?It wasn?t his decision to make, sadly. He has a boss to answer to as well. Namely, the government.?

Oi a wonder they had made a decision already .. after just a couple of days.

?Oh, goodie.?

?So get dressed and let?s go.?

does he help her out with fashion tunics?

I shot him an arched look and crossed my arms in front of my chest. ?I am dressed.? I owned exactly one piece of clothing. A dark blue outfit that would b

 

great updates. now I am curious as to how things will go with Durron. and who this message is from and what it says.

 

Another update, I know. And just to warn you, the updates might pop up rather frequently. I was hoping to finish this by the end of December because I'm starting yet another diary for 2010.

Seriously, I can't get enough of the diaries. They're so much fun to write.

---

?What do you want?? Ganner snapped at me when the door opened to his quarters. The first thing I noticed was the sweet smell. It reminded me of scented candles, mulberry and vanilla. It was a wonderful scent, which made me raise my brows in surprise.

?What is that?? Even though Ganner stood in front of me, almost as wide as the door with his arms crossed in front of his chest, I managed to duck by him and hurry into his quarters without him being able to grab the scruff of my neck and pull me back. What a lovely image, that.

His quarters weren?t much larger than mine but he had made it a home, that?s for sure. There were frames on the walls holding moving holograms of people smiling. A young woman with long black hair smiled lovingly and I wondered if Ganner was seeing her.

His bed stood underneath the window along with a small table. There were a few trinkets standing atop it, including a candle and cup of what looked like? hot chocolate?

?What is what??

?That smell. What is it??

Ganner turned towards me and pulled his forehead into a deep frown. That look didn?t suit him at all, in fact it made him look twice his age and angry to boot. ?It?s a scented candle.?

?Huh.? I pursed my lips and took another cursory look around his quarters. ?I?m surprised.?

?Why??

?Your quarters ? they?re so average.?

Ganner heaved an annoyed sigh. ?Thanks. Can you go now??

?No, I didn?t mean it like that.? I sensed he was irritated by me. I was used to other people?s irritation and usually I didn?t care but for once I wanted a pleasant conversation without banter and without stupid remarks. ?I mean, so far I?ve see you as this loony colorful bird but I think I misjudged you.?

?You shouldn?t judge, period.?

?I know and I?m sorry.?

He shuffled past me and I was again surprised at the man?s height. Lean and muscular, now even more pronounced by the rather tight shirt he wore, I tried my best not to stare. And it wasn?t easy. Damn myself for being such an avid observer of all things male.

?I need your help with something.? I said after clearing my throat. ?I think I got a message but I can?t read it.?

I handed him the data pad and he shot me a questioning glance. ?Not to seem rude but who would send you a message??

I shrugged. ?I have no idea. I don?t know anyone around here. Besides Master Durron but?? My voice trailed off as this giddy girly feeling rose inside me. Had Master Durron sent me a message? How the hell cool would that be?

?I doubt Kyp would send a message through a public channel.? Ganner said, bursting my perfect lovey-dovey bubble within a second.

?Oh.?

He noted my disappointment. I saw it in the way he tried hiding a grin. ?And as far as I know he?s under strict orders to keep com silence.?

?Oh.? I said again, clasping my hands at my back and shuffling my feet.

?And I think he?s too far away to send a message anyway.?

?Okay! I get the picture!? I snapped at him, feeling my cheeks run hot with a blush.

Ganner had the audacity to sit on his bed with a laugh. He made me feel awful and ridiculous. Like a school girl having a crush on her teacher. Ganner be damned.

With a sigh I watched as he tapped the small screen with long, perfectly manicured fingers. A few minutes passed in silence and I took the time to watch him while he was busy reading the message. Goodness but he was gorgeous. It was like staring at a Calvin Klein supermodel and yet ? I don?t know, there was something about him that just bugged the crap out of me.

?Is she your girlfriend?? I blurted, gesturing to the picture of the dark haired woman in the hologram.

Ganner glanced up, his brow furrowed. He grunted, something I tend to think men do a lot when there?s a question they aren?t keen on answering. He returned back to the message without a word.

?I ta

 

great update. interesting about the reporter, though I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar. is he actually in the books or did you make him up? I'm not familiar with much of the post-RotJ stuff.

 

Interesting message; hope it's not a trap?
Ecstatic wriggle!!!! I cannot seem to get enough diaries either.

Woohoo!!!!!!

Yum!!

I'm having all kinds of sweet thoughts about who your diary's about.

Can I now?



Hugs!!!!

 

Oh, I made the reporter up. I make most people up that aren't main characters, actually. I find it too tedious working myself through various articles on wookiepedia to find the right canon character.

LOL. Well, the next diaries (because they'll be two ) will entail yummy characters, of course.
I can hardly wait for January.

 

Two days passed by in which I wondered. I couldn?t sleep. I kept having dreams of going back home, of reuniting with my friends and family and everyone was happy. The dreams ended badly, though. Because no one believed my story and in the end I was even more alone than before, yearning to return here, to this unknown alien world.

Which was it going to be, I wondered? Where would I feel more at home? Earth and everything I knew since birth or here? Where anything was possible, where the imagination came to life?

I was walking through the corridors on my own one evening, after a lengthy stay in the public archives of the temple. Valin and Jysella had offered to tutor me so I didn?t feel like a dummy when it came to everyday things like reading and writing. I learned a bit more about the Jedi history. Interesting folk, these Jedi. Of course, the more I learned the more questions arose.

I was on my way back to my quarters when I decided to see if Ganner was available. He could give me the answers to what I wanted to know and it would also be a distraction. I really needed to get my mind off that message.

And all the while I walked down the corridor, I pretended not to notice the two unknown Jedi trailing far behind me. Why not just go ahead and tell me they were there to watch?

It was a while later when I noticed a young man with a cleaning droid, polishing up one of the many statues in the grand halls of the temple. I had come accustomed to robots and droids cleaning the place; I had yet to see a living being do the dirty work.

When I approached him he smiled kindly and I couldn?t help but smile back. From afar, he seemed nice and I decided to go talk to him. Talking to a non-Jedi would maybe be enlightening, who knew?

?Hello.? I said, watching as the small, metallic black robot thing brushed along the floor with something akin to a small broom. Kinda cute, really.

?Hi.? The man responded and I noticed a blush rising to his cheeks. ?You?re not a Jedi, are you?? He said and I raised my brows.

?Why do you say that??

?Because you came and said hello.?

Startled at his reasoning, I didn?t quite know what to answer at first. I watched him fidget a bit. ?How long have you been working here?? I asked.

?A few days. Just getting to know the place.?

?Oh.?

I felt an awkwardness around him and something about him made me want to tread very carefully. Sure he was nice and he seemed sweet but still?

You know how it is when you meet someone and you really don?t like this person without knowing why? That?s what he felt like to me.

?I have to get going.? I said slowly, casting a look over my shoulder. There they were, the two Jedi Knights fully garbed in their dark brown robes with sparkly clean lightsabers at their belts.

?It was nice meeting you, Kat.?

I was just about to turn around and then I stopped when I heard him say my name. ?What did you just say??

His face turned crimson. ?That it was nice to meet you.?

A longer pause ensued. ?Yeah. See you around.?

Sure, he might have seen me on the news and what not but did everyone know my name as well? I doubted it. I really, really doubted it.

With an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach, I walked on, deciding to stay in my quarters for the rest of the day.

**

I had a late dinner alone in my quarters. I knew the two Jedi were standing guard in front of the door so I didn?t even try to leave. Ganner had stopped by to see how I was doing and even though it was a kind gesture, I told him to go shove his concern where it hurt.

I lay on my bed sifting through a data pad. Only pictures of course, because I could only decipher a few of the symbols these people used as letters. The pictures were nice, though. Planets that I would love to visit some day. So many colors, so many new plants and alien creatures! It was fantastic.

Besides the picture showing a huge flesh eating plant.

I don?t get why they have to make these pictures so damned detailed. I don?t really want to see how the plant devours a humanoid being. Evidently, these flesh eating plants also burp.

 

Ooh, that was unexpected! Love Kat's style with Porky LOL Well... I'm not sure if I want her to return "home" or not. Kyp might be ... disappointed

 

Porky, so funny!

Sounds like me when I'm in a bad mood and someone is being mean to me.

Anyway, I hope you get out of this mess. Something tells me Kat returning home now wouldn't be very good for some. Maybe it's just the fact that some short guy is trying to make her go home without a say in it.
