Its going to be fun seeing Rey and Finn (maybe even Poe :o ) in Jedi training haha. Odette would kick their butts if they got too cocky xD

Odette felt sometimes she knew Ben better than anyone. After all, why wouldn't she? They had spent years together and had been through many long talks with one another, sharing different thoughts and feeling on things. She supposed it was through that she had come to recognize certain facial expressions and body language that came from him. There was a always a difference in his true smiles when he was at ease, than there was his fake smiles he put on to have everyone think what he wanted them to. Perhaps the other padawans couldn't tell the difference, but she could. There was always a difference in his gaze, she had always been able to tell from his eyes. They didn't seem to gleam as much when he was trying to convince someone of something.

And this was no different. The way he looked at her, with that half smile meant to woo and convince, was nothing but a facade, meant to make her think he agreed with her, when really, he didn't. But, that was just Ben. She had come to accept when he wanted to keep some things and thoughts to himself, and respected him enough to not intrude too much into his thoughts, though sometimes it was hard to resist.

She laughed slightly at his last comment, "Oh, so now I take care of the troublesome ones too? I thought that was your job? Or is it just my job to do all the tasks you don't feel like doing?" She questioned with a smirk on her lips. Right now, she of course, was putting up her own facade that she believed what he was saying before about him agreeing with her. She wasn't going to focus too much on it now. No reason to have him worried more than he already was.

Besides, she could feel something else that caught her attention and pulled her away from her thoughts of Ben. Master Luke was trying to reach out in the Force to her emotions. She glanced up at Master Luke, and though he was doing this, wasn't looking in her direction. She had a confused expression on her face and looked over to Ben, seeing his expression on his face. Master Luke was doing the same to him as he was to her.

Well, it was strange, but understandable. After all, they had gone through some pretty traumatic things the day before, he was probably just checking to see how they were doing. Still, it left her with an unease that he wouldn't just talk to them about it, rather than trying to investigate them as such. She looked to Ben once more, raising an eye brow in question, as if silently asking what his thoughts on what Luke was doing were.

@Renny
I know we can! :D After all, if Ben can be played right then surely the others can be played right as well.

Star Wars: A New Force

@Renny I was actually thinking of them meeting up being after the events of The Force Awakens. I suppose the reason being is that I pictured her thinking both Ben and Luke are dead, thinking they were both killed by whoever took out the padawans (the people that attacked and kidnapped her while Ben was fighting Luke). I pictured her escaping from Snoke's grasp, going back to the planet they had been living on. In my post, I mentioned how there were five Jedi temples all together. The first being Coruscant's temple, three others, and then finally the first temple. Ben and Odette would get sent to the first of the three others. Then later on toward the end of the new Jedi Order, the second one on the more dangerous planet. But, they never get to know about the third Jedi temple before Ben ends the new Jedi Order.

BUT, Odette would find it on her own (perhaps it is actually on the planet they have been living on but Luke never told them?) and then using the pieces of the map, travels to the first Jedi Temple and stays there to continue her training on her own (who knows, maybe even training padawans of her own in secret? not wanting Master Luke's teachings to go to waste should she perish). I figured that would sort of tie in to the TFA because Leia very fleetingly mentions that Luke went in search of the First Temple. Perhaps he does so in attempt to find Odette, seeing that the map pieces were missing when he too returns to the world they had been living in?

I figure after the fall of the new Jedi Order and Odette going off to the first Jedi Temple, as well as Luke's disappearance, TFA happens (of course we won't be writing that out XD) and then skip forward to after Rey's training with Luke and Finn's recovery. I was thinking they would somehow find a way to the first temple (perhaps seeing the way through someone having a vision, or finding another map, one that's actually whole XD)?

What do you think?

Star Wars: A New Force

@Renny
After they find the piece of the map, should we time skip? And if we do time skip, what do you think we should time skip to?

Also XD Question. For their ages. I know I put 21 of her age and 23 for his age, but I can't remember, are those the ages they will be when he turns against the order, or when they finally meet up again (I imagine that being a few years later). I was thinking those ages could be when he turns against the order and then they meet up again about four or five years later. What do you think?

Odette grinned slightly at his words, "Good. I'm glad it wasn't a dream. I was so exhausted last night I worried it had just been my imagination." She took his hand gently in hers and, after a quick glance to the door to make sure none of the padawans or Luke were heading back into the room, she smiled and looked to him once more, placing a gently, yet quick, kiss to his lips, "And it is something I will never doubt again, Ben." She felt the presence of Luke and the others returning and after a small and meaningful squeeze to his hand, she stepped away from Ben and began putting her books back into her bag as the Master and padawans walked in, acting as if nothing had just happened.

Once she had all of her books put up, she slipped the long strap over her shoulder and across her chest so that the bag itself hung on the opposite side of the shoulder the strap was on, moving to stand beside Ben, tying her blonde hair back from her face and into a ponytail, "We're ready to go to the temple again, Master."

"Very well. Then let's head out. Stay close and keep an eye out for anything that seems out of place. I will take the lead, Ben and Odette, you take the back so that the others are between us." Luke instructed, to which Odette nodded,

"Yes Master." With that, she watched Master Luke walk off of the ship and once all of the other seven padawans followed behind their Master, Odette and Ben took the back, Odette eyeing the world around them carefully. After yesterday's close call with the Nexu, she didn't exactly trust it here and knew that she needed to protect the younglings at all costs. And so, she walked cautiously, ready to take out her blaster if any sign of danger should show itself to them. Even as they entered the Temple and began looking for the first piece of the map, she was very watchful, keening into her senses and focusing on the Force for any signs of danger.

Glancing over at Ben to see how he was doing, she spoke quietly to him, "Are you okay? With coming back in here after yesterday?" She looked ahead, continuing to keep an out out, "The temple seemed to mess with us both a lot in the lower levels. Hopefully if we stay to the upper levels though, we should be okay. And stick together of course. It can't really mess with us if we're together and looking out for each other, right?"

Odette glanced up from her book when she noticed Ben stirring from his 'sleep'. To be honest, she doubted he had been asleep the while time they had been sitting there, but she didn't mention it. It was...sort of adorable how he tried to hide that he had enjoyed her leaning against like that. But of course, what man wouldn't hide that, trying to keep his dignity?

She looked back to her book and was reading it for a few moments more when Luke walked in from outside of the ship, making her look up in surprise. She had thought he had still been asleep with the padawans. Apparently not. So, had he seen she and Ben asleep and leaning on each other? But, if he did, surely that wouldn't be enough to suspect the two of anything. After all, for all he knew the two of them could have just fell asleep and accidentally fell to leaning against each other. And even if he didn't think accidentally leaning on each other was probable, then surely it could be seen as something just friends could do as well, leaning on each other like that. Right?

She nervously looked back to her book, pretending to read when Master Luke spoke, "Where's Ben?"

Odette moved her gaze back to her Master and spoke, "He went to the lavatory."

"When he returns, I need to speak with both of you." And with that, Master Luke walked away, most likely to go retrieve Ben so that the young man didn't go off somewhere and he could bring him back into the main front room of the ship.

Just what did he need to talk tot hem about? Nervousness and worry swept over her as she sat there and soon, Luke had returned, and not too much longer after, Ben walked in as well. She looked to him and the two shared a glance, both clearly nervous and unknowing as to what the old man might say to them.

"We will be returning home in a few hours time, after we walk about the Temple one last time. When we return, I am sending you two on a mission."

Odette looked at him in surprise. Well...that certainly wasn't what she wasn't expecting him to say, "A...mission, Master? What sort of mission?"

"As you know, there are a few Jedi Temples scattered throughout the universe. The one here are Coruscant is by far the largest, but there are four others. I am looking for one in particular and its whereabouts have been hidden for many years, even before the fall of the Order. It was the first Jedi Temple ever built and has been said to hold many secrets of the Force. Within each Jedi Temple, there is a portion of the map to this temple." He looked out the window of the ship and toward the temple, "Today, we will find the first portion. But, when returning home, I must continue training the other padawans. They are too young and helpless to be taken from temple to temple. The attack yesterday was proof of that. But, you two, while still in training, are also able to and old enough to care for yourselves. Which is why I will be sending you to the second biggest Jedi Temple, to retrieve the second part of the map."

"What about our own training? Are we going to be continuing it?" Odette question, tilting her head to the side.

"Yes. You will be. When you return from the second temple, we will continue your training until I feel you ready to go to the third temple, as it is on a rather danger filled planet."

She sat up a little bit, "And what do these maps look like?"

"You will see once we find the first portion of the map today." He nodded to them, "Get ready to go. I will go wake the other."

With that, he walked off and Odette stood up, grabbing the blaster she had used yesterday, putting it in sash around her waist before walking over to Ben, speaking softly so the others wouldn't hear, but with relief in her voice, "Our first solo mission, Ben. That's exciting. And a relief. I worried for a moment there he had found out about last night." She paused for a moment, looking up at him, "I didn't dream all that, did I? I mean...it really happened, right?"

Star Wars: A New Force

@rennyYeah. I like that idea. I can see Luke wanting to observe them and treating it as an experiment like you said. Perhaps he doesn't let on he knows until fighting it out with Ben when he turns against them, kind of like 'what about Odette? What would she think of you doing this? Whats going to happen to her once all this is over? If you really love her you'll stop this.' Guilt tripping him in a way xD
Ill get started on my post soon. It will be up after my class.

Star Wars: A New Force

@renny so even though he does know, should he just kinda pretend he doesnt know? Kind of like he sees they want to keep it a secret so he acts like he doesnt know so that they are more comfortable about it all (since obviously she and Ben dont want the padawans to know and all that. If that makes sense?

Star Wars: A New Force

@Rennyill get started soon. Did we want Luke to know and if he knows do we want him talking to them about it?
