Good Times Good Times

After hanging out with so many people that have been quite better lately I realized how much Belda's been here at the temple lately. We planned a time to chat and do some girl stuff. It was nice to talk to a jedi younger than I because everytime I talk to someone else I feel like their teaching me some lessons. But, with Belda we can tell each other things... I just never though it would go on like this. "Would you like to spend the night at my quarters? It would just be me, George and you Meredith isn't home." I ask Belda. "oh okies" Belda says. "Just lemme get my things." "AHHHH!" I hear her scream. I rush into her room concerned. "What happen?" "My things gone!" She cried. "What all did you need?" "A bed, my Guardian Bear, my chest of things my parents left me, my clothes- I embraced her into a hug as she broke into tears. "I'm sorry Belda." We gathered some people to try to find her things. Instead we found out that Belda was moved into a dorm with a few other Padawan. She was still said. "Cry you must not get attatched you will." Yoda tells Belda. "Leaver er alone!" I burst. What happened? Was this Talinda or me? "Sorry I didn't mean to say that!" I blab. "Tash come here!" Bariss orders. I sigh and walk toward her slowly. "Yes?" "Shaak Ti why dont you show Belda her new room I need to discuss something with Tash, I will be up there when I am done." Bariss says. Oh boy... Now Bariss and I are walking and talking. She seems different compared to the others. "Tash, why did you snap at Master Yoda like that?" She asks me. "I understand my mistake I promise it will never happen again... I was told we make our mistakes for a reason... The only reason they exist is just so we learn from them"

"this is true, but something like this isnt good for the younglings to be seeing..."

"Teach her a lesson I will" Yoda chimes in.

"Yes I know that now... and with all I've been trying to teach her tonight... shall I speak to her about how that was wrong? she actually seemed a tad curious about it" I say

"think what do you Windu?" Windu! I didn't even know he was here.

Well, Musta has learned from her mistake but I agree she does need to realize that Belda Pinik is a younger student and she needs to be set a good example. Master Windu tells.

"Punsisher her we should."

Well, that was coming from Yoda of course so nothing out of the ordinary. But, he was standing next to the man that wanted to save me from being emotionally scared for life when Meredith almost died. I had to suck it up and move on.

"I'll talk what ever punishment you give me sir." I say.

"Show to young Belda being bad is not good." Yoda continues.

I got that already!!!!

"I understand that sir... and I will apologize to her and you both." I tell.

Yoda turns his head to Master Windu.

He heaved out a sigh. "You go ahead and decide her punishment."

I could tell that Yoda suddenly didn't like punishment as much. "Write Ten holos of public apology or twenty whacks with cane?"

"What sort of public apology sir?"

" write 5 holos of what you did wrong and 5 holos of how sorry you are tomorrow morning before classes due it is"

I nod. "Yes sir."

Yoda looks back to Windu again.

Mace shrugs his shoulders. "Sounds necessary to me."

Now it was time to talk to Bariss. I felt pretty bad.

"Tash, be happy, most woulda taken the easy way out." She says in a really soothing tone.

"Thank you master." I'm still looking at my boots.

"You made a wise decision."

I finally look up at her. "I still feel guilty about it though."

"Do explain." She says wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

How? I can't say 'I have a killer alter ego and I'm not sure if that was her or me talking trash to ya'. Actually, I just had to.

"Its just... Happened I don't know how or why... And I have an evil alter ego and I'm not sure if that was her work or my own." I ramble.

"hmmm... When you are done with your assingment, stop by the healers area I want to have a look at that...."

Uh-oh what if they find out about my pregnancy? Well, there just might be a way to slip that by Bariss. I felt like I could trust her.

"Let me walk you to Belda's new room." Bariss says.

"Thank you." I say looking up into her eyes finally smiling.
