Back at the Jedi temple, Aasha exited the ship to be greeted by a great hug from her friend.

"You're back!" Eliah cried as she stepped back.

"I live," Aasha replied with a smile.

"What was your total this time?" Nahlar asked, a smug grin on her face.

"Fourteen," Aasha started.

"Only fourteen? Ha!" Nahlar laughed.

"Well, yeah, but that's because I went off to fight Darth Muutus!" Aasha replied proudly.

"Against my orders," Souva scoffed as she passed.

"Admit it," Aasha shot back, " you're impressed."

Souva scoffed again and left.

"She's impressed," Aasha confirmed and folded her arms.

Eliah and Nahlar laughed.

"So how did it go?" Nahlar asked excitedly.

"I knocked his lightsaber out of his hand. And it's Souva's fault he got away."

"Wow!" Eilah marvelled.

Eliah was such a kind supportive person. A cheery smile was plastered on her sky blue face that kit up her lemon-yellow eyes. Her curly hair was pure white and reached just below her shoulder blades, pointed ears and curled horns protruded from underneath. Under her arms were bright blue flaps that she used to glide.

Nahlar was a Twi'lek. As usual, a book was held in her pale lavender arms. Her bright aqua eyes sparked with wisdom. Her pair of lekku hung down her back just above her waist.

The three had started their training at the same time and had become close friends through training together.

"Well in going back to my room," Aasha smiled and walked away.

Muutus threw his lightsaber onto the table. What the hell was he thinking? She was a Jedi. He was a Sith. They were barely allowed to meet on friendly ground, let alone form a friendship. Or more...

He shouldn't want to see the girl again. He shouldn't want to get to know her. He shouldn't feel this way.

But something was pulling on him. Urging him to reach out.

You must see her again!

She won't want to see me. She wouldn't trust me.

You don't know that.

Yes, I do! We're on totally opposite sides in this war. The next time I see her she'll be trying to cut me up.

Muutus sighed. This was hopeless. But the voice persisted.

Send her a message. Send her a message. You'll never know if you don't try! Send her a message!

So he pulled out a piece of paper and began to write.

Aasha entered her room and flopped onto her bed.

A small droid flew into the room after and began to beep.

"What is it, TK?" Aasha asked and looked at the turquoise and grey droid.

TK flew over to a corner and began to beep again.

Aasha looked up to see a thin metal tube.

A message stick.

She stood up and picked it up, flicking the black switch activating the screen and began to read.

Dear Asha,

I know this may shock you, but I had to do this. I've only seen you once but I want to see you again. Meet me on Takodana tomorrow in the forest outside Maz's Cantina.

I hope you will come,

-Seth
