It had been five years, five very long years since she left. Just seeing the planet again brought back memories. Memories of her family, friends, the many schools she had attended, she even remotely remembered the collie that lived up the street. "Breathe, Padawan," said her Master Kar Vos turning to face her. "It`s been five years, Master. What if they don`t recognize me, Master?" Ethel asked after she had taken a deep breath. Kar knew that she was referring to her family. "We will come to that bridge when we come to it," replied Kar reassuringly patting her Padawan`s shoulder. "Besides, at least we're not going to crash like I did my first time
