For Love of the Galaxy

It was a storming afternoon on the planet of Corouscant and the gloom of the outdoors matched that of the mood in the High Council room. The Jedi were trying there nerves to the last strand, attempting to find a solution to a growing problem, "This has gone on long enough! Surely there is something else we can do, Master Tano?" Grand Master Loyola Tano was elected to lead after Master Luke Skywalker retired to his home planet of Tattoine. Loyola regarded the speaker with interest, "And what do you propose, Master Purlon?" Mikal Purlon was the youngest member of the Jedi High Council, His youth only countered by his wisdom beyond his years. "What about outside help? They wouldn't be expecting us to go beyond the outer-rim so they wouldn't have the time to react and attack our ship!" His youthfull vigour, however, has shown through many-a-time. The togrutan Grand Master pinched the bridge of her nose and the human male to her right responded to the young Twi'ilek, "And what of our home Galaxy? Surely you do not intend to send everyone?" Mikal would have looked taken aback, had he not been used to his old master's sarcasm. "Of course not Master Shadosie! Only two or three, even one Jedi could complete this task, the planet I have in mind-" Loyola looked up, "You already have a planet picked out?" Mikal nodded, his eyes glistening, "Yes. I wanted to present my idea all at once." Murmmers quietly spread among the council members while Loyola thought to herself and the graying Shadosie smiled at his old Padawan, encouraging him to continue. Mikal Purlon grinned and produced a small marble from a pouch on his belt and walked to the middle of the room, where a lone, silver pole rose from the ground. Mikal stopped in front of the pole, lilfted his hand to shoulder height, then lowered the blinds, darkening the room before placing the marble on the concaved tip of the pole. Pin-pricks of light danced from the marble to all reaches of the room, before stopping in whatever position they were supposed to be in. "This is our neighboring galaxy,known by the natives as the 'Milky Way.'"

Authors Note: Alright, I realize I'm... a biiiiiiiit late on my updating but I'm finally back with chapter one. Also, I didn't realize I made my screen name the same as the main character until now. XD Enjoy.
Chapter One

History was never a fun subject for Tallulah. It didn't help in the slightest that this was her first period and that her teacher was as monotone as they come! This just so happens to be where we find our 18 year old High School student catching up on the last night's all nighter. "Tullie... Tallulah!" Tullie, as she preferred to be called, wasn't awakened by the teacher chanting her name, no, she was startled awake by her friend, Joan, jabbing her in the side. She sat up quickly and glared at her friend whom motioned to Mrs. Hamilton.
"Am I boring you Miss Johnson?" a low ripple of laughter spread through the classroom and Tallulah turned beet red, "I'm sorry Mrs. Hamilton, I haven't been getting alot of sleep lately." "That is apparent." another ripple and the elderly woman returned to her lecture of some war or other while Tallulah stared at her desk thinking back on her nightmares of the past month. They were always the same, but different in some detail or other; always starting off with some kind of species from Star Wars going about their daily lives; eating, working or playing, Then ending in the same bloody fashion, children strewn across a bloody floor, parents arms forever grasping for their deceased offspring, and up to 5 men, or women, dressed in robes as black as their hearts standing over their nameless victems.
Last night was differant, better in fact! Maybe it had something to do with the milk and cookies before bed or something else, but last night was a hell of alot better then any other from the last month! It was of a Twi'ilek male named Mikal Purlon, a jedi master by the looks of him, which wern't that bad surprisingly. Male Twi'ileks arn't exactly renound for their physical features, but, Tallulah thought, that this one was pretty cute! Anyway, he told her that the jedi were in a bit of trouble and were in need of outside assistance. She had automaticaly volunteared herself, and a couple friends' help too. To tell the truth, Tallulah didn't mind all of these Star Wars themed dreams all lined up night after night, It was the constant killing that got to her.
She was pulled out of her thoughts by the classroom telephone ringing. Tullie looked at the teacher, listening intently, trying to catch some of the conversation. Mrs. Hamilton mumbles a couple 'O.K.'s and a 'Right away' then hung up the phone, "Tallulah, Joan, you are leaving for the day."

~Now, into 1st person right were we left off. I can't stand this 3rd person thing anymore...~

I swear, I feel the glares of jealousy as I got my stuff together, both fromthe class and my teacher, 'Sorry Mrs. H. You try my dreams out for a change, then we can talk.' As soon as Joan and I were out of the class and out of ear shot, Joan asked, "More nightmares?" Worry was writen all over her face, dark skin creating ridges in her forehead. I shook my head, my long, braided, red hair hitting my shoulders, "Nope! Better!" I replyed, drawning out an exasperated groan from Joan, "I don't want to know!"
Joan and Tallulah, friends forever. We grew up together since elementary school, on through puberty, and now we stroll leisurely together to the office and to our life-changing future. Apon entering the office I could feel Joan stop just as I did. The office itself was just as collage orriented as usuall. Not a hair out of place in that perspective, but there were a couple new hairs. A male; tall, green-skinned... with head tails! Either I was hallucinating or my dreams were coming true. "Mikal?" He grinned a wide grinn of relief, "Girls. It's so good to finally meet you in person."

~To be continued asap. XD May the force be with you!~
