This is my very first fanfic, so I hope I turns out well. Disclaimer for the entire story: I do not own anything except for my OC's.

Update: I fixed up this chapter so that it is more organized and readable.


Chapter 1:

Odd Beginnings

It was just another ordinary day at the Jedi Temple. Younglings were learning, padawans were training, and Jedi Masters were..um well, doing whatever they do in their spare time. But while all that was going on, Padawans Barriss and Trent were waiting around in the temple garden, if you could call it that. The 'garden' was huge and had many plants, animals and even trees.

"Hey," Trent began.

"Yes?" Barriss asked.

"Why are we here?" he asked with some annoyance in his voice.

Barriss responded by saying,"Well, I do believe we are the result of a giant explosion that-."

"What?" Trent asked, cutting her off in mid-sentence. "You did ask why are we here." Barriss said thinking that it was rude of him to interrupt her. "I meant why are waiting around here for no reason." Trent explained. "Oh, Ahsoka said she had something very important to show us." Barriss said.

If almost on cue, they both heard a slide door opening and turned around to see Ahsoka running toward them at full-speed. She was running so fast, she failed to realize she kicked a squirrel that was unfortunate enough to be in her path. Both Trent and Barriss covered their mouth with their hands, mostly to hold back laughter, but also shocked at how far the squirrel flew. (I mean, that sucker flew across the "garden" and landed in some tree branches.)

"Hi guys!" Ahsoka shouted, completely unaware that she "punted" a squirrel.

"Uhh... hi" Barriss began to say.

"What's up?" Ahsoka asked.

Trent then said, "Well, we were waiting for you to get here, what took you so long?"

"Oh, master wanted me to play a few rounds of Halo Reach. I won by the way." She replied with a sly grin on her face

"Really? You beat Anakin at Halo?" Trent asked, completely shocked.

"Yep, let's say I played a little dirty and I left before he finished his rage rant." Ahsoka said, still with that grin on her face.

"Hey, aren't we getting a little off topic here?" Barriss asked as more of a statement than a question.

"Oh yea! I completely forgot!" Ahsoka exclaimed reaching into her boot compartment. "Prepare to be amazed." she said and held out her hand with a black round object in it.

"What is it?" Trent and Barriss asked at the same time. They turned and gave each other a weird look and then turned back to Ahsoka.

"Isn't it obvious? It's a bouncy ball!" Ahsoka said bouncing off the wall. (No, really. She literally ran and bounced off the door...)

"Um, did Anakin give you caffeine earlier?" Trent asked nervously.

"Yea, why?" she replied shaking.

"Oh no reason."

Barriss then asked, "So wait, you wanted us to meet you here for some dumb bouncy ball?" obviously getting a little annoyed.

"Not just any bouncy ball, it's one of the best bouncy balls in the galaxy!" Ahsoka proudly announced.

"Really?" Trent asked, not really believing what she was saying.

"Really." The grin on her face was returning.

Without warning Ahsoka threw it onto a nearby sidewalk the ball started going everywhere, bouncing off trees, benches, and anything it can bounce off! It even hit the squirrel Ahsoka "punted" earlier.

"That squirrel is having a really bad day!" Trent shouted while trying to avoid the ball.

After about a minute of bouncing (and dodging), the ball bounced off the door one more time and hit Ahsoka right in the head. Trent and Barriss looked down at their friend, who was now apparentlyknocked out, and starting laughing.

"Well, I guess that was worth seeing." Trent said.

"Agreed." Barriss said, still laughing. But then Trent asked, "Um, what should we do now?"

"Well, she'll awake soon, so don't worry about it."

"Works for me." They then left to go calm down Anakin.


Alright, I really hope you enjoyed this first chapter, it's quite short I know, but

the next chapter will be longer. Please R&R and criticism is welcome. One more thing,

if anyone can guess what I referenced in the beginning gets a high-five and a cookie.

Good night all! (It's almost midnight right now :)
