"We are descending to the planet's surface," said the pilot over the intercom. Saerina Avrikana, a ten-year-old Padawan, eagerly ran over to the ship's window and gazed down in awe at the beautiful blue and green planet beneath. Alderaan, the place where they said she was born. The young girl only had faint memories of the place, and she couldn't contain her excitement of seeing her homeworld again (even though the Jedi Knights and older Padawans kept reminding her not to get overly attached to a planet). But it was such a beautiful planet. And Saerina loved things that were pleasing to the eye.09:00 Local Time

The ship landed, and Saerina joined the couple of Jedi Knights with their group of Padawans, all of which were roughly around her own age. One of the Knights would eventually become her Master, even though she didn't know that yet. As for the other Padawans, she knew their names but hadn't talked to them much. They were all very close to each other and Saerina found it hard to try to talk to them. Besides, she didn't mind being by herself sometimes. Everyone was talking excitedly about the event that was about to occur- the meeting of the Senator of Alderaan. The Padawans were only to practice greeting this important figure, and then let the Jedi Knights do the "grown up stuff."
Once outside, they met the Senator and everyone else that accompanied him. They went through the proper greetings- the smiling, the polite bowing, the handshaking. Saerina was disappointed at first, because she didn't see any other children. But then... she did see one. He was a boy about her age, pretty much hiding behind the adults. He had an odd sort of expression on his face- not really happy, but not really sad. Perhaps, Saerina thought, he was just lonely.
Then the adults went off and told the Padawans they were allowed to go amuse themselves in the town. Everyone else went off, but Saerina didn't go with them... she wanted to talk to the boy. She didn't know much about the Force but she had a strong feeling that this boy needed a friend. Though a little nervous about talking to a stranger, she walked up and smiled shyly. "Hi," she said. "My name is Saerina. What's yours?"
