"No, there's alot that you can do with it. Since the Force is everywhere, theoretically you could do anything with the Force, from making lightining to fire to seeing into the future and other places."

*Tara raised an eyebrow at Reisa, trying to imagine something so powerful.* "And you can do all of that?"

Reisa shook her head, "No, I can't. I've learned what I can on my own, but somethings you have to have formal training to do. I have done lightning once, on accident. I was angry, and I'm sorry to say I gave in to my temptation and gave the being who was bugging me a whupping."

"It sounds pretty dangerous... How do you get formal training to do all of this? I mean, are there lots of other people that can do it too?"

"Well, I wouldn't say lots, but there are many other beings who can use the force. I suppose to get formal training you could go to the Jedi Academy on Yavin, but I hear there's been some trouble there lately."

*Tara thought for a moment, trying to remember something some of the older smugglers told her about...* "I've heard some things about Yavin IV... I think I heard it used to be a good scavenging ground for the traders that dealt in rare artifacts... But I don't know anything about an academy... What are Jedi?"

Reisa was surprised again, but less so. If she had never heard abut the Force, why should she have heard about the Jedi? "The Jedi, at the moment, are split up into 2 different groups. Usually, the Jedi go around the galaxy helping people, but since their temple was destroyed, they've been a little more busy with the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Now that the war is over, some of the Jedi think that their new mission is not to defend peace, but to uphold the Force. Others disagreed and the peace-keeping Jedi left for the-Force-knows-where."

*Tara reflected on this for a moment before speaking again.* "So... These Jedi are just people who can use this Force... And until now they were peace-keepers, right...? How come you aren't one of these.... Jedi?"

Reisa shrugged uncomfortably. "I have a life. I don't want to be tied down to a certain place. Maybe someday, but not today."

"Hm... I see..." *Tara sighed softly, saying nothing more on the matter. It seemed that she was the only one in the galaxy content to know only one place in her lifetime. All of this information about these things beyond Hoth that she had thought to be impossible was rather dizzying. She cast a cautious glance at the meat that had started the whole conversation.* "You should eat before it gets cold again..."

"Ok." She started eating. In a way, she envied Tara, with her one place to call home. You could have had that, she thought. Oh well, someday you'll settle down. Maybe I'll go check out the Jedi someday. She sighed. It's always someday.

*Tara watched the girl for a moment before turning her gaze away, not wanting to be rude. She took off her thick coat and laid it on the ground beside her, quite warm by the heater after having been out all day.* "So, how old are you exactly? Don't take this the wrong way, but you seem awfully young to be piloting your own ship and out on your own..."

Reisa grinned. "I'm 19 and the reason I'm on my own is, well because I ran away from my Uncle and Aunt's house. I got into a fight with my aunt and I decided to take my ship and leave. It was my father's ship and he left it to me. I've been shipping cargo and beings around the galaxy ever since. That was, um, four years ago, I think."

*Tara's eyes widened slightly in mild surprise.* "You've been out on your own since you were fifteen? Was this fight of yours really so bad that you left everything behind at such a young age?"

"Well, it wasn't exactly that much. I hardly knew these relatives, and they were my only ones. It wasn't just one fight, either, it was a culmination of events that led up to that particular fight. My Aunt was always saying bad things about my parents, how they were Rebel scum and my mother should've never married a no-good bum like my father and after six years of it, I left."

"Yes, my father was apart of a local cell." Reisa's eyes turned sad for a second.

"Oh..." *Tara noticed the girl's expression and immediately stopped talking, not sure what to say, although she would've liked to know more. She was never good at talking to people. She could never tell how they would react to her questions.*

Reisa realized she had put Tara in an uncomfortable position. "I'm sorry, Tara. I didn't mean to put you in a tight spot."

*Tara managed a smile.* "Funny... I was about to say the same to you..." *She sighed softly, diverting her gaze again.* "What happened to them? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, I'm just curious."
