It was funny how fast time could go. One day Jinny was an innocent, exuberant 5 year old girl. Now she was 9 – different in some ways, but the same at her core. Ever energetic, ever curious. She was getting stronger and smarter by the day, and had begun to ask questions that didn’t have satisfactory answers. How did her uncle and her parents meet? What was with all the locked rooms and weapons? Why did he disappear on so many “business trips”, and why wasn’t she allowed to call him when he was?
Her room had graduated from pink to purple sometime in the last year. While she’d gone to many schools, she did not have very many friends. Somehow she felt disconnected from other children, like there was a rift there that she could never cross. It wasn’t her powers; she’d met other kids with superpowers in school, but even then they seemed something closer to normal than she felt.
Her natural skills were beginning to shine through, aside from her rigorous training. The child who would take apart anything she could reach had become a girl who could put things together with ease. Slade encouraged this mechanical prowess, buying her models and machines to explore, destroy and rebuild. There were also some advanced books on her shelf, most of them math related. She was up to algebra now, and planned to start calculus by the time she was 12.
At the current time, she was in the basement training room, working off some spare energy. Slade and Jinny had both found that if she didn’t do something physical during the day, she tended to get mildly hyperactive and unable to focus. So she attacked the training dummy with fervor, her strikes light, but swift and deadly accurate. When Slade found her, she did not stop in her rhythm, but she did smile warmly.
“Hi Uncle Slade! What’s up?”

"Know Master Yoda well, I do." The creature said as the two young Jedi settled in.
Kijani was settled on the floor near Adam, trying to maintain some elegance as she did so. It was hard to be a princess on the floor of a hut, but she was certainly doing her best.
"Can you take us to him, please?"
The creature wandered over to the pot and lifted the lid, giving it a good few stirs with a wooden spoon. A delicious scent started to waft through the small hut. "In time. Eat first, you must."
"But-" Kijani was about to protest, when her stomach let out a very loud and unladylike grumble. She could feel her face heat with embarrassment, and chuckled softly. "Nevermind. I see your point. I guess we should eat. Thank you for your hospitality."
"Too kind, you are." The creature swiftly started to take down bowls from their small cabinet, and soon had 3 steaming bowls of soup for each of them."
"Eat! Eat, yes. Be strong, young Jedi must."
Kijani smiled politely, but wasted no time digging in. There were vegetables akin to potatoes and mushrooms, and something juicy and sort of rubbery. What was that? She lifted up her spoon, squinted in the firelight, and went very still.
"That is a slug. In my bowl. On my spoon."
The creature chortled in a pleased way. "Dagobah wood slug! Full of protein, they are."

I apologize for keeping you waiting. Trying to get my lazy writing brain back into gear here.
"Thanks, Roxy." Devika smiled a bit, then watched her go off. She would have to think of something really good for the other woman to build for her. A few trite ideas came to mind, like a flower or a butterfly, but she dismissed them. She wanted to have something from Roxy that would be a testament to her skill.
The day seemed to drag on for Devika. The garage was busy, but there wasn't much she could do to help besides greet customers and dig up parts for Roxy while she worked. But, finally they were closing up, and it was time to meet Devika's parents.
She put on some nice clothes and some bright makeup, and anxiously awaited their ride, mostly fidgeting and staring out the window for it. She was excited and some how nervous, though she had no clue why. These were her parents, who had been gentle and utterly supportive throughout her life. Maybe she was picking up nervousness from Roxy? Possibly.

Ooh. I'm hyped for this. I've played Jinny at 10 years old before, so 9 shouldn't make much difference. I'm excited about this! Granted I know very little about the Hive Academy, but I can certainly learn. This is an excellent addition.
I'm fine with timeskips as long as I know about them. As for how long, that depends on how long you want tiny and adorable Jinny. She becomes marginally less tiny and more dangerous.
Hey Shifter. I'm glad you're back. Being sick sucks. I hope you get to feeling better quickly.
As for ideas... um... I could have Jinny ask some very pointed questions about 'why is the gun here' but I don't think Slade would answer her at this time.
What else could happen. Hm... Aside from some rando kidnapping Jinny on her way home from school, or another timeskip to where Jinny is old enough to learn what job her mother and Slade have, then I'm not quite sure.

"Trust is earned, Adam." Kijani did not quite trust the creature, but she didn't think he was a threat either. "Still, it's rude to turn down a freely given invitation. And a meal." Her eyes flickered to the unappetizing ration in her hand. "Let's go."
With a smile, Kijani stood up. She had to crane her neck to look down at the small creature. "That's a gracious offer. We would love to accompany you to dinner." She made a gesture that signaled for the creature to go ahead. "Please, lead the way."
"Mm, yes! Eat good, you will." The creature toddled off into the swamp, and the two young Jedi followed. It took longer than Kijani thought to get to the little hut. For one thing, they couldn't travel in a straight line. There were hidden patches of deep water in the way, tangling vines and thorns, and at one point she could swear some creature was watching her.
Still, there would be delicious food. Or so she hoped.

Kijani had a hand on her lightsaber as well, head whipping around for the source of the voice. It took her a moment to look down. "Yes, we're looking for Master Yoda. Heard of him?" This planet was big, but so full of isolated places that she was certain this line of questioning would lead them nowhere. After all, if a Jedi didn't want to be found, they could probably make it easy.
"If you don't, that's fine. We'll be out of your way by tomorrow, and not scaring away any more animals." Something about this was very strange. How could this being be so silent as to sneak up on them both? Sure they were relaxed a bit, but neither of them were so relaxed that they would stop paying attention to their surroundings. So how?
