Where is everybody? Why isn't anyone still awake? Why isn't anyone still up? You have to come see this.

I'm done! I finished! I can't believe it! It's about kriffing time I finished this. I tracked down the last two parts I needed in a high tech area of Asia last night. It took awhile to find things that'd work in place of parts I would've found easily back home, which has made it one of the most frustrating projects I've ever worked on. And I had to meditate for hours on the crystal, but it's ready now. Everything's put together. I'm finally done! And the best part of all? It works. I built a working lightsaber!

I couldn't have done it without Master Qui-Gon and Anakin. It'd probably have blown up in my hand if it wasn't for you two.

Where is everybody? It's not that late! I'm only on my third cup of caff for the night.

[Anakin] Thank you, thank you. And I know I kinda joke sometimes about you being one of the Solo Wonder kids. But I probably shouldn't. I really do respect you and the knowledge and experience you have and I'm glad you're here. It's good working with someone from home, too.

[Jamie] I don't know if you're checking these yet but I built a working lightsaber. I only got the Force a year ago, and I built a working lightsaber! Me! It works and it hums and it swishes through the air and it's kriffing amazing! I almost wish you weren't sound asleep so you could see this right away. In the morning or whenever you're awake, I'll show it to you first thing.

[Master Qui-Gon] I can't believe it's finished. It's done it's done it's done. I have my own lightsaber and I built it. Not anyone else, but me. I think... I really feel like a Jedi now. Or more like one. I'm not sure if I really did before. It didn't feel like this before I finished my lightsaber. It's different now. Everything feels different. It feels like I'm really a Jedi for the first time, like there's a clearer focus for who I am now. When I hold my saber, it's like there's this powerful energy running through it. Maybe it's a focus for the Force because of the crystal. This... I've never felt this before. It's enough to almost bring me down from my caff high. It's incredible. I can't wait to show this to you. Thank you, Master Qui-Gon.

	That's fucking awesome. Really amazing. I know your real busy right now, but do you think you could help me out with something? I'd ask Jin, but I can't fucking get a hold of him. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I know, isn't it? Thanks. I'm somewhat more calm now. Three cups of caf from that coffee shop around the corner take some time to wear off. Sure. What is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mia badass_samurai 2008-02-13 03:16 am UTC (link)
	I might have lied a little... when saying I was okay. I kinda need you to come get me out of the damn hospital. They're driving me crazy and won't let me leave, cause they seem to think I can't care for myself, which I would be fine doing, I just can't get up and leave right now.

	Mugen miaj 2008-02-13 03:18 am UTC (link)
	You landed yourself in the hospital and didn't tell me? At least you're in a hospital and not dying on the side of the road. If you can't get up and leave yourself, what makes me think you're well enough to leave the hospital? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mia badass_samurai 2008-02-13 03:22 am UTC (link)
	I've been here for over a week. The smell of this place is driving me crazy. The nurses are driving me crazy. Please. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mugen... Why won't they let you leave? What happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mia badass_samurai 2008-02-13 03:27 am UTC (link)
	They said I'm not healed up enough yet. I got hit by a car... not like it was driving, more like the big ugly ass throwing it. I was being stupid going out saving people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They might be keeping you in case of infections or something. It sounds like you got hurt pretty badly, and I'm sure there's a good reason you haven't just gotten up and walked out yourself.

Mugen, if I check you out where are you going to stay? You don't have anyone to watch over you.

Kriff it, I'm on my way to Japan. You better tell me how to say "I need to check someone out of the hospital" in Japanese.

	I haven't gotten up and walked out cause I can't, okay. I can't walk right now. They said I'll heal up and be fine, just hurts like hell right now to try and move my legs. I can stay at home. I can get around my house no problem, don't worry about it. ~~who knows maybe Jin will be there.~~ [translation to Japanese] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mugen miaj 2008-02-13 03:40 am UTC (link)
	You might need physical therapy. If I'm gonna come get you, you have to promise me you'll see a doctor or get one of these people here to heal you. In fact. That's a better idea. Okay. I'll be there soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mia badass_samurai 2008-02-13 03:44 am UTC (link)
	I don't need freakin magic crap. There are other people who need that more. I'll be fine. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mugen miaj 2008-02-13 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Oh please. You either post asking if anyone can heal you or I'll do it. I don't want to worry about someone else being hurt and alone and stuck at home. You're welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mia badass_samurai 2008-02-13 03:50 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry. I. I didn't want to make you worry. I. I'm so sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mugen miaj 2008-02-13 04:03 am UTC (link)
	It's fine. Don't apologize. I just don't think I can worry about someone else new all over again. I've been worrying a little about Jamie for a week now, even though I knew he'd be fine, I still worried. I'm at the hospital. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mia badass_samurai 2008-02-13 04:13 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry about Jamie. I'm in [room number] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mugen miaj 2008-02-13 04:25 am UTC (link)
	He's okay. But I've never seen him seriously injured before, you know? Might have to persuade the nurse a little to let me take you out of here. I hope I can do this right. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Good job. Knew you could do it. I want to check it out. What color is it? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Jamie miaj 2008-02-13 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Thanks. It's blue, I think a little darker than Obi-Wan's. It's beautiful. I'll come show it to you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Congratulations. Next time the world ends, you can be the Jedi and I can be the one waving the gun around. And look at it this way. I had had Force powers for eleven years before I had a lightsaber. You've had yours for one. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Right, right. I look forward to that. We need the world to end again.

Don't feel bad. From what I understand, they don't typically give little kids fully functioning weapons like lightsabers. Or maybe the early Jedi did. But those were training weapons, right? ...I'm going to shut up now.

And thanks. Want to spar later? Thanks for letting me borrow your lightsaber sometimes to train with. Mine feels a lot more... comfortable. Almost like it's part of me.

	Well, Jacen used Uncle Luke's once, but we're Solo wonder brats. He didn't get another chance til he was fourteen. Your lightsaber is part of you. That's the point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miaj 2008-02-13 07:44 am UTC (link)
	I'm gonna regret ever calling you that out loud. I know, but it's... I didn't know it'd feel this intense. I didn't know it'd be like this. There aren't words for this. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Mia onceaforceghost 2008-02-13 07:30 am UTC (link)
	It's quite natural to feel a stronger pull from the Force. It's focused through your lightsaber to the part of you that is most attuned as a Jedi. You always had the potential to be a great Jedi, Mia. I have always had faith in you. Maybe now you can see for yourself the greatness that I have seen for so long. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Master Qui-Gon miaj 2008-02-13 07:36 am UTC (link)
	This feels... amazing. Maybe. Maybe now that I feel more like a Jedi. Everything feels different. I don't know if I can explain it. It's like more alive and more... more there. I'm not very poetic like you. But you know what I mean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mia onceaforceghost 2008-02-13 07:43 am UTC (link)
	I remember the first time I held my lightsaber upon its completion. I felt as if there was nothing in the world I couldn't do. It was almost as if my entire life training to be a Jedi was just a scant second once I held the weight of my weapon. I knew right then that a Jedi was truly what I wanted to be.

Yeah, that's it exactly. I feel like I can do anything. Anything.

I never imagined I'd be here a year ago, a Jedi Padawan with a lightsaber, let alone when I first got here. But I can't imagine me being anywhere else or doing anything else. Everything makes so much sense.

I've tried a couple times to imagine working here and not being with Jamie and still being with Spike instead. ~~Or Jet.~~ I can't imagine my interaction with Jamie being anything else than what it is. It doesn't really work in my head. I can't imagine doing anything else other than working here and training to be a Jedi. Everything seems right. And with the lightsaber, I feel more complete in a different way than I can remember feeling in a long time. I'm really happy. And if I didn't have a teacher like you, I wouldn't be where I am. I wouldn't be this happy. Thanks.
