3 Coruscant Outing!

Nightfall had come upon Coruscant, so everyone was preparing to sleep. Xytan walked into the training room to see Viola, Jin, and another boy training. The boy was also Human, he was practicing Form 1(Shii-Cho) with the helmet.

"Hey, Xytan, you're back." Jin quickly spotted Xytan and called him over afterward.

"Yeah, I just woke up, so I came over to see what was going on. Aren't you guys going to sleep, why are you still up?" Xytan gazed landed on Viola, but she was focusing right now, so he waved his hand signaling Jin not to reply.

Instead, Jin came closer and they began to whisper.

"Hey, I heard the latest group of younglings will be making their lightsabers the day after tomorrow at the Temple, do you want to see if we can watch them?" Jin was all smiles, he was really serious about being a Jedi like most kids here.

"Yeah, actually, I would love to see that." Xytan was interested to spectate something like that. He had seen it in the show many times, but he really wanted to see it in person. He wasn't beyond learning in the flesh despite seeing it from a screen.

"Yes! Then we can all go watch it together!" Jin looked hyper, he was so excited that he was literally shaking.

"Calm down, you might pass out before we make it to watch the show." Xytan could imagine heading there with him, he'd probably fainted from joy. Xytan was excited to see an actual lightsaber, these weak training sabers weren't exactly the true powerful versions.

Xytan looked around and saw another Jedi Master meditating in the corner to himself, did they meditate anywhere these days?

"Right, right, I'll be calm, mhm!" Jin said as such, but his words went against his actions. At that moment, Viola opened her eyes and slowly stood up.

The first person she noticed was the unknown youngling practicing, then Jin and Xytan.

"Guys, I'm done with my second term meditation, what do you guys want to do?" Viola quickly made her way to the 2 and asked.

"Let's go ask the Jedi Masters some questions, and when we can get our first Lightsaber!" Jin jumped as his smile widened.

"Wow, that sounds good." Viola agreed.

"Yeah, you guys can go do that, I'll train a bit more to my lonesome then I'll head back to sleep. I have a few things I need to do tomorrow." These younglings were excited about almost everything, which nearly made him laugh on several occasions.

"Ah, Xytan, don't be a party pooper, let's go ask the Masters some questions." Viola insisted.

"Don't wanna," Xytan said bluntly before sitting down in a meditation position.

Viola grumbled but she didn't leave and sat next to Xytan with a grumpy expression.

"Uh...aren't we going?" Jin looked on in confusion, but he clearly knew the answer to his own question.

Xytan didn't say anything and started meditating again. The youngling was still practicing with the helmet; the only reason he could do this was because a Jedi was present.

"Awe, then I guess I'll go by myself." Jin put on a sad expression before leaving. Viola wanted to say something, but she couldn't find the words.

"See, now Jin is sad." Viola looked at Xytan with blame.

"Don't worry, he'll get over it when we go watch the other younglings make their Lightsabers." Xytan kept his eyes close and smiled instead.

"What?" Viola was surprised, then she was overjoyed.

Xytan meditated for an hour before standing up, he told Viola to get some sleep. They'll do something special tomorrow, maybe. Viola naturally knew she needed sleep, so she went off to her room, as did Xytan.

What Xytan needed to work on was his lightsaber forms. However, he didn't have a Lightsaber or any blades for that. He really wanted to work on Form 2 of lightsaber combat, but no one had taught him about that. All younglings were instructed to learn the basics of lightsaber combat, which was form 1.

Xytan once again took off his clothes and jumped into his bed to sleep. He had to enact his possible plan tomorrow when he went out with Shaak Ti. He would need to tempt Shaak Ti into doing something, so he could find an opening to do what he needed done.

Xytan closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Time passed as usual until the morning finally arrived. Despite this, Xytan stayed in bed for an extra hour before getting up. Once he was up, he went to brush his teeth and take a bath before putting on a fresh set of clothes and leaving his room.

As usual; Shaak Ti was waiting for the younglings to arrive at the same given time. Everyone was given an oral lesson from Shaak Ti for an hour before going to eat breakfast.

Not eating right away was sort of a lesson that a Jedi wouldn't always have food, so they had to hold on without eating right away.

The next lesson would be the same training as yesterday, however, this training would be an hour from now. Shaak Ti gave Xytan a knowing gaze before leaving the Mess hall, he was already ready to go out.

Viola and Jin asked him where he was going, and he told them to his room to pick up a few things. They both nodded and he left without further question. Shaak Ti was surprised how smart a mere 5 years old seemed, he wasn't naive like the rest of the kids.

Xytan went over to Shaak Ti, she dressed in her standard robe.

"Good, good, you're already ready to go." Shaak Ti nodded and signaled him to followed her. Xytan didn't say anything and just follow with a strange grin across his face.

"You're that happy to go out, is training to be a Jedi that boring to the little toddler?" Shaak Ti peeked at Xytan and asked.

"No, I think it's cool to use force powers to blow people away, it'll get fun later. But I'm sure you know a thing or 2 about using your abilities on people out of nowhere." Xytan said knowingly.

"Hmm..." Shaak Ti knew what he was referring to, it was about that little incident yesterday.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Shaak Ti said no more and kept walking.

"Mhm, sure you don't." Xytan smiled and looked at Shaak Ti mischievously.

"Youngling, has anyone told you that you have quite the mouth on you?" Shaak Ti felt the need to discipline Xytan; his words were a bit too much sometimes.

"...." Xytan said nothing and only looked ahead with a stiff smile. Finally, both of them left the Temple before heading to the busy streets of Coruscant. The skies were filled with hover cars and transportation shuttles.

"It truly is futuristic." This made Xytan really want to summon the Lich, it was a Spaceship he had seen in Halo 4 back then. In fact, the Covenant's Destroyer Ships were far more advanced than the ones in Star Wars; this was the same for the Forerunners which were far more advanced than the Covenant's ships!

"Oh, you're impressed; that's to be expected." Shaak Ti wasn't surprised about Xytan's amazement, he did live in the Temple all of his life so this was to be expected.

"Very impressed!" Xytan said as he ran towards Shaak Ti's side.

"So what exactly are you looking for around here? I don't expect you to know much, but there are few nice places around here." The streets were filled with people from different races, even races Xytan had never seen before.

"Hmm, could you buy me a Droid companion—It doesn't have to be big or anything." Xytan scratched his chin with a smile.

"A Droid companion? What makes you think I have the credits for that?" One of Shaak Ti's eyebrows knitted hearing Xytan's request.

"Hmm, Jedi are strong but their pockets seemed to be weak." Xytan squinted his eyes and looked at Shaak Ti with a tinge of contempt.

"Boy, mind your tongue!" Shaak Ti's eyes with wide from surprises, weak pockets! She never heard anyone say such a quote before.

"Sorry." Xytan shrugged

"Remember, Jedi have no need for valuables such a gem and other riches, you must be free of such worldly things." Shaak Ti said resolutely as she looked at Xytan seriously.

"...."

"...."

Both remained silent for a moment, but the next thing Xytan said almost made her stumble.

"So...does that mean I can't get that droid?"

"Ugh!"

Moments later, they were inside of a Droid shop. She told him to pick a small animal-sized droid and not a large type of droid; it also had to be a reasonable price.

"So Jedi really do have weak pockets!" Xytan couldn't help but say.

"Pick a droid!" Shaak Ti spoke grudgingly through her teeth, she would need to meditate more dealing with this kid.

Xytan and his squeaky voice, however, calmed her down since it was actually more funny than anything else. But she wondered how a five-year-old could have such a mouth on him, it didn't add up to her!

Xytan walked around the store and saw many droids from humanoid sizes to animal types; this included walker type droids or the droids that looked like combat droids used in the war but smaller.

Xytan didn't see any that really drew his attention until he walked into the next room. He spotted a droid bird, it was a crow that was all black. The crow droid had red eyes, however, it didn't have feathers like a regular bird.

The droid happened to be one sale; being 50% off.

Xytan called Shaak Ti over, she had a look at it and said. "If I buy you this, you have to stop bothering me about those visions, okay?"

"....." Xytan was speechless.
