under his breath and shaking his head from side to side as he thought over my request and locked his grey, wise eyes onto my youthful, jubilant green ones.

For extra measure, I flashed him one more breathtaking smile for further convincing.

That smile must have been the deal breaker for my Jedi friend as he reluctantly sighed and grunted a gruff, "Fine."

I smirked with triumph evident in my posture and stance, bravely and eagerly making my walk back towards Mos Espa, not bothering to wait for the slower, more methodical Jedi Master behind me, myself being very excited and eager to see my brave Skywalker friend again.

Even better; We were going to free him.

Maybe we would be together sooner than I thought.

What a lucky, lucky girl.

Warning: Super long Author's Note!

*Viewer discretion advised as our dear author gets super wordy*

A/N: And here we go! Another one for my wonderful readers! Also, this book is so very close to a thousand, and I genuinely never thought that could ever be possible, so thank you to all those who have stuck around. On a sadder note, this story is almost over! I know, it's depressing for me too. Trust me. The bad news is that I am predicting another four to six chapters before that concludes Episode One. I also will probably not update again this week or weekend because state testing starts for me on Thursday. Eek! And yes, I am still in school. The good news: Yes, I will be publishing a second book, based on Episode Two, and yes, I will also be doing one for Episode Three. After that, Clarissé will be making some appearances in other Star Wars books I have planned for the upcoming future. Clarissé's trilogy should be completely finished by summer of 2022. After that... well you'll just have to tune in and wait and see... won't you? To those wondering if a Clone Wars book will come, I haven't decided yet. It would be published and updated after every other Star Wars book is completed, as TV shows (especially ones with eight seasons) take a lot of time, and I will want to get started on other projects. Sorry I'm word vomiting at this point. To answer that question, it's a maybe. It's honestly up to you guys.

Lastly, for today's fun fact: If Clarissé had a zodiac sign, she'd most definitely be a Libra, which is also my sign! Surprise! Yes, I'm a Libra. I'm not too fond of my sign per say, but I've learned to love it through the years. Tell me in the comments what you think Clarissé's sign would be. I'm curious, so hit me with your thoughts.

And as all great people say, goodbye, and goodnight! (It's currently 2 AM right now where I'm from)
