"Well, it looks like our lesson ended before it even began, girls..." Rarity admitted dejectedly. All five pupils were seated in various places among Twilight Sparkle's quarters. It wasn't very large, but it wasn't cramped either. The walls were a vibrant purple, with a separate shower room as well as a sizeable bedroom. Despite the circumstances, it had a very friendly atmosphere to it.

"Argh! I hate this!" Rainbow slammed her fist into the wall she was leaning on. "Not even past day one, and we're getting kicked out of our training!" Sighing, she slid down to the floor. "It isn't fair..."

"I'm sorry everyone. It was my fault that the missive was packed in the first place. If anyone is to blame, it's myself. You should all still be able to train if I take the responsibility..." Rarity sighed

"Ah, don't beat yourself up sugarcube! Ain't nobody to blame. We just made a mistake, that's all! What would Master Yoda say at something like this?"

"There is no try..." The rest of the group repeated in a monotone. Many lessons were drilled into their heads by Master Yoda when they were but inexperienced Initiates.

"Right! So don't give up hope, girls!" Applejack exclaimed, smiling. However, no one was inspired by her speech, not even her. "Oh, who am I kidding? We done goofed, and now we're going to pay for it."

"I-It's not all bad!" Pinkie Pie began. "At least I can throw us a 'leaving the Order forever' Party!" her smile disappeared, and her hair deflated a little. "*sigh* I don't even think I'll love that party..."

"What about you, Fluttershy? What do you think will happen?" Applejack asked the final member of their party.

She was silent, shielding her face from her fellow Padawan with the palms of her hands. The only thing to come out was light sobbing. Nothing seemed to cheer any of them up. Their hope for training was doomed from the start.

Suddenly, the door opened to reveal their Master. She came in, followed by her Astromech SP-K3, a stern look set about her face. "Master, I-" Rarity began, no doubt trying to keep the blame to herself and try to save the rest of her fellow Jedi from being expelled from the Jedi Order. Twilight raised her hand, causing her to stop. In the calmest voice possible, she asked all five of them to follow her. Twisting and turning through the pale white hallways, until they reached a circular room with a table in the center. "Please, sit around the Holotable. I'm not expelling you from your teachings, though it would be the right thing to do."

Not knowing what to expect now, they did as instructed and sat around the table. "*sigh* After consulting with my number one assistant, I think it's best if we put the past behind us, and focus on your training." Everyone seemed to brighten up at that, cheerfully talking amongst themselves. "But-" She continued, silencing them once more. "It seems we need to go over a few lessons that haven't particularly 'stuck' so to speak." Pressing a few buttons on the side of the Holotable, it thrummed to life and showed a planet. It looked like a large gaseous planet, with a few rings surrounding it. "This is the planet Gallum. It's a nearby supply depot that the Gambit needs to stop outside of its orbit in order to refuel and gather supplies for its next mission. I will be going with Captain Boros, as well as Hotflash, one of the Troopers who detained you, down to the surface on one of it's moons via supply shuttle. He was the one in the red accented armor. Their interactions with the natives needs a translator, and since I've memorized over 30,000 different types of dialects, I will be joining them. My assistant, SP-K3;" She motioned to the purple and green astromech next to her. "Will stay here and monitor your progress. You may call him spike, if it makes it easier."

Rainbow raised her hand. Twilight nodded her head, signaling that she could speak. "That's all well and good, but what exactly is our lesson?"

"You each have different ones. I've already told Spike what to expect when he monitors each of you individually. In the meantime, get to know your surroundings. A Jedi must be in tune with their environment, so feel free to explore and mingle with your fellow crewmates. My assistant will find each one of you individually, and record what you do."


Dismissing the five Padawan, they each returned to their rooms to get a good amount of rest and to meditate on what Twilight had said. The moment they all woke up, they said their goodbyes to their new Master before the shuttle took off...

"I will be fine, everyone! Uh, no need to worry!" Twilight said awkwardly, seeing all her pupils staring at her as if it was the last time they were going to see her.

Fluttershy sprinted towards her and hugged her tightly. "Be careful!" She exclaimed, almost pleaded.

"Honestly, there's nothing to be worry about!" She pulled Fluttershy away gently. "It's a routine resupply, according to the Captain."

...That didn't change the expressions on their faces.

"I'll be fine!" She finished, hearing the Captain call her for the takeoff. "I need to go now. Uh, bye!" She waved, before the shuttle door closed, and it left the hangar.

Twilight sighed. I forgot. They all lost their Masters because of "Routine Resupplies"...


Author's Note

BOOM! This chapter is done! Gonna split up their lessons one at a time. You'll probably get the theme of each one. Maybe? I dunno, it's late at night, I'm tired.

There'll be a theme to each one, and hopefully within the next few weeks they'll be done! Unless something comes up.

If you have any criticisms about this chapter, go ahead and put a comment, I'd love to hear from you guys!
