Luna groaned as the old alarm clock on her bedside table interrupted her dream. She had been flying an X-Wing fighting the Empire alongside Luke Skywalker.

How she wished that were true.

She opened her eyes and stretched as she waited for the girl on the top bunk to get down first. Chelcy came down off the bunk and was, as always, the first out and into the bathroom. She was the oldest of them so she got first dibs on everything. Next would be Terra, then Lucy, and then Luna. She was the youngest at thirteen, nearly fourteen.

Luna watched as Terra got out of her bed, turn on the lights, and went to the dresser to begin doing her makeup.

Luna decided to get up at that point. She quickly made her bed before changing into her clothes and brushing her long black hair.

Eventually, she got access to a mirror to make sure her hair looked okay and her banges were situated the way she wanted them. Her midnight blue eyes stared back at her out of a fair skinned face, catching on the necklace she always wore. It was the Rebel Alliance Starbird with the symbol of the Jedi Order cutout in it.

How she wished she hadn't been dreaming.

She closed her eyes, trying to tap into the energy that surrounded her. She had learned that the way horses and other animals know how people feel is based off of energy that all beings have radiating out from them. Sorta like the Force from Star Wars if you really thought about it. Or a Spidey Sense, but Luna preferred the Force connection.

Luna loved Star Wars. She knew almost everything about it and wished nothing more that to be able to live in it. She wouldn't care when, Force she wouldn't care if she didn't interact with any of those the story was about. Just being there would be enough. If the Empire was active, she'd join the Rebellion. If the First Order was active, then the Resistance. If the Clone Wars....

She might try to change it. Keep Anakin on the lightside.

However, she knew that those were foolish dreams. It would never happen.

But somehow, her nearly non existent inner child kept said dream alive.

She suddenly felt tingling warning and ducked, not a moment too soon as a binder went flying right where her head was previously.

"Get out!" Terra shrieked Luna looked and noticed Henry, one of the boys, trying to destroy all of Terra's homework.

Luna realized that she should probably keep her personal things with her this morning if she planned to have them intact by the end of the day.

Then again, what else was new?
