Telos IV, often called simply Telos, was a world located in the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy and situated on the Hydian Way hyperroute. The planet is covered with hills and sunny weather, while one part of the planet was covered with polar ice caps and snowy days. This area housed the legendary Telosian Academy, secret to only a few of the Jedi that fought against the Reconstructed Galactic Empire. In the main part of town housed the Angelbay Medical Station.

This is where Lorana Collet, Casey Collet and her son LirTan Collet are making their home on this peaceful planet. Their home is built right on the outskirts of town, but close enough to make daily trips to the snow and to the local town. The house is a 2-story, 5 bedrooms, with a huge backyard for her son to play in. In the middle of the backyard, a young worsyyr tree (representing new beginnings) is growing. There are two cottages next to each other as well. One is a training house, with one room for solely saber practices. The other is a barn where Lorana's dream of housing pigs will live at.

*Lorana lands the ship in front of the house and LirTan is the first to run off with his bag. Lorana helps Casey off and the three get off the ship and heads to the house. It opens into a large living room and the staircase, decorated for the holidays, is facing them. LirTan looks at Lorana and she nods to him*

Go ahead LirTan and find your room.

*LirTan runs upstairs and Lorana helps Casey to a chair.*

Casey: Wow! How could you afford all this?
Lorana: Well, some are from my father and the rest...well it's good that I still have some of my Kenobi inheritance.
Casey: *points to the worsyyr tree by the window* What tree is that?
Lorana: That's a worsyyr tree. There's one on New Sanctuary Moon that Augustus and I had our first date, per say. And look! I got my animal farm after all.

*Lorana laughs and Casey looks at her weird. She stops and realizes that Casey wasn't around during the 'animal' discussion.*

Lorana: I forgot. Augustus and me would 'fight' over having animals at our house. Seems like simplier times back then. Now...*sighs and plays with her ring until LirTan comes running down, yelling*

LirTan: Mom! I love my room and everything's there. I love this place!

*A serving droid comes over and announces dinner is ready. Lorana helps Casey up and the little family heads to have their first dinner in their new home*

*After putting LirTan to sleep, Lorana goes and sits down in the living room with Casey by the fireplace. Casey nods and leans back on the recliner.

Casey: Compared to your dad's place, I like this the most. I'm glad I didn't tell him about Telos.

Lorana: *sitting on the floor making ornaments* Uh yeah, I'm glad you didn't open your mouth or we'll be still at the Sanctuary. LirTan needs a steady home and this is perfect, especially since this is the first home he's been at. I just wished...

*Casey throws Lorana a pillow* Don't worry. If he has any sense, he'll stop acting like a child and come back. He doesn't know what he's missing and thinking LT will be better off with him is stupid. I say Lorana, if you don't kill him I will. I don't trust that guy anymore and I'M STILL BETTER LOOKING.

*Lorana laughs and throws the pillow back at him* Of course you are Case. Always have and always will be. If you weren't a brother to me, I would marry you.

Casey: Yeah I know. I actually thought I had a chance with you until you started saying, 'Oh you remind me of Gus when you do that'
Lorana: No way! I didn't do that!
Casey: YEAH YOU DID!!

*Lorana and Casey laugh and she gets up from the floor, putting the newly decorated ornaments on the mantle.*

Lorana: You better get some rest Case. Tomorrow we are going to give LirTan the best first Christmas in the galaxy. We are going shopping for a tree.

Casey: NO!!!!

Lorana: Who's acting like a child now Casey. *laughs and heads upstairs.* Night Casey.

*Lorana goes into the master bedroom and goes to the refresher. She takes out from a box a robe that Augustus gave her that night he came back. She puts it on and heads back to the room and lays down. Lorana turns to look at the nightstand and sees the picture they took in the snow and laughs, thinking LirTan put it there for her. Lorana looks at it and smiles.*

Always and forever my love.

*Lorana closes her eyes and for once since coming back, she has a happy dream of her family including Gus*

----------------------
*Casey stands up and looks at the ornaments Lorana made and smiles, seeing by instinct made one for Augustus. Not wanting her to freak out for the holidays, Casey takes it down and puts it behind some pictures on the shelf. A droid comes by and looks at Casey. He puts his finger by his lips and winks at it.*

Our little secret pal. We don't want anyone to find this, okay?

*The droid nods and Casey makes his way up the stairs and into his room. He changes and gets into bed and falls asleep, dreading the morning when he has to carry a tree back from town.*

Lorana! Could you have GOTTEN a BIGGER TREE than THIS?

*Casey yells as Lorana and LirTan go inside and start getting a spot ready for the tree. Casey slowly drags it inside the house and stands it up. He stands back and looks at it.*

I do bring home the best tree. Don't I gang?

*Lorana and LirTan laugh and run up to Casey, hugging him*

Yeah you do Case. Now let's put up the ornaments I made.

*Lorana goes to the mantle and gets the ornaments and hands them to Casey and LirTan. They put them up and smile, looking how the ornaments glitter*

Lorana: Early merry Christmas LirTan.

*Lorana pulls down a few more ornaments and hands one to LirTan*

Here you go. Since they can't be here, they are family so we will hang them with ours.

*Hands him one at a time* Here's one for your grandpa, Athena, SK,
(LirTan: Who's SK mom?
SK is Athena's husband and a good friend of mine. *Lorana*
Yeah the one that tried to kill you. *Casey*), Cassus,
(Casey: God! Do we HAVE to include him?
Lorana: YES!), HiVolt
(LirTan: Who's that?
Lorana: My brother and a very special person. I hope one day you're able to meet him. He's also a friend of your father and that's how we met.), and...*looks in the box and to Casey* I made one more and it's not here. Did you see it Case?

*Casey: No I haven't seen any until now Lorana.
Lorana: *sad* Oh well, I guess...nevermind it will turn up later I guess.

*Looks at the tree covered with ornaments of their family and looks at LirTan.*
You see, even though they are not here, they are always around with us.

*LirTan: Like my dad. I feel him but he's somewhere else.
Lorana: Yup. Just like that. Okay off to bed now.

*LirTan jumps up and down* YAY!!

*Casey rolls his eyes and Lorana glares at him* Your choice, Case, but if you stay you have to finish decorating the tree.

*LirTan, grabbing onto Casey's arm* Come on Case. Come with us to the snow, PLEASE?

*Casey laughs and picks up LirTan, swinging him around* Sure thing LT. Let's go and we can throw snowballs at your mom.

*Lorana, putting on her coat and laughs* Please Case. Like you can EVEN throw one at me.

~A ship lands in the field of Telos and a young girl comes out. She heads over to the little house in the distance and notices that the residents are heading in a different direction. She stands back and wonders if she should call the girl but decides to surprise them when they return. She heads over to the house and sits down on the stairs, wondering if her visit will be a happy one or not~

*Lorana, Casey and LirTan make it to the snow and immediately find their spot to sit. LirTan, jumping around happily, throws himself on the snow and start making snow angels. Casey occassionally starts throwing snowballs at Lorana, who just force pushes them back to him.*

Casey: Hey! No fair Lorana. At least let me get one.
Lorana: *watching LirTan and smiling* Not a chance Case.

*LirTan comes over and pulls on Lorana's arms*
Come on Mom. Let's make a snowman.

*Lorana nods and gets up. They pick a spot and they start rolling up snow to make the body and with Casey's help, place the head on top. LirTan claps his hands and his attention turns to something glittering in the light. He runs over to it and Lorana and Casey watches him go*

Casey: I wonder what he saw over there.
Lorana: I don't know Case. Let's go over there and see.

*Lorana and Casey walks over there and realizes the glittering was coming from the gold casket and it was the pretend memorial they made. LirTan, holding the music box, looks up sad at Lorana*

Mom, is that you in there?

*Lorana kneels down next to him and hugs him* Yes LirTan. Casey made a pretend me to put in there.
*Casey kneels next to him too* Remember how I told you about your father and the people he belongs to? That's the only reason we pretended Lorana died.

*Lorana looks at Casey, upset he told LirTan about the reason he's evil but looks back at LirTan* Don't worry LirTan. That person in there isn't real. Now, let's head back home and see if TEE-3 will make us hot chocolates.

*LirTan nods and hugs Lorana. She gets up and holds his hand and they make their way back home.*

As they get closer, Rosalie starts playing with her hair and fixing herself. She sees Lorana's face of surprise and throws out her hands like she used to do when they were little*

Guess who Lora?

*Lorana starts to fear that it could be him and turns back to Casey*
Take LirTan Case. I'll go up first to see who it is. The person feels familiar to me, someone that I haven't seen in years.

*Casey gets LirTan's hand and nods* Be careful Lorana.

*Lorana nods and, putting her hand on her saber, walks ahead of the guys. She doesn't make it far enough until she realizes who it is. Lorana drops her arm and looks shocked*

Ronnie? Is that you?

*Lorana runs and hugs Ronnie tighty, jumping up and down with her* RONNIE! Oh my gosh! I can't believe it's really you! Still thinking you're the force's gift to the galaxy huh? Come on inside so we can chat.

*Lorana pulls Ronnie inside, while Casey (staring at Ronnie, mouth dropped) is being led by LirTan inside. Lorana looks at them and smiles, after socking Casey*

Guys, this is Rosalie. She's my best friend from back home. We grew up together and we're practically sisters. *to Ronnie* That's Casey and the little one is my son, LirTan.

*She turns back to Lorana* You have such a nice family here Lora. So, where's that tall blue guy you were always with? By the way, I met him and he is CUTE! You got yourself a nice catch there. Does he have a brother? *Laughs at the joke*

*Lorana sighs when Rosalie brings up Gus and looks at LirTan* LirTan, can you keep watch on Casey and make sure he doesn't burn down the house.

*LirTan nods and runs after Casey. Lorana sits closer to Ronnie and starts*
We're not really....uh, together anymore. We haven't been the same since I had you go follow him on his mission with his padawan. Then we got engaged and the next day he disappears. He didn't leave any word where he was going or when he was coming back.
*her fists tighten up and she feels the anger rising. Lorana closes her eyes to control the anger and continues* There was rumor he was going to have himself killed. Then a friend of mine started coming around and we did stuff that I knew was wrong but at the time I was thinking of my needs. Dare I ever do that again!
*takes a deep breath and relaxes herself a bit* He suddenly comes back and it was a happy reunion. We started planning the wedding and then the next day he finds out before I get a chance to tell him. He snaps and now he's beyond saving. He's too in deep with the dark side and now I have to protect my son from him. *She stands up and walks to the mantle, leaning on it* Sorry for throwing all this on you Ronnie.

*Rosalie laughs at Casey and blushes a bit at his winking. Her eyes follow him to the kitchen but switches back at Lorana's tone of voice. She listens to Lorana vent about her failed engagement and feels the anger in her over the whole thing. After a minute, Ronnie gets up and puts her hand on Lorana's shoulder*

Lora, I can stand here and tell you something, but I think you already heard it or know what it is. I'm sorry about him and I know just from watching him, he really loves you. I think there is still good in him, just that he needs time to figure out what he wants. He would be so stupid if he chooses to end this relationship. You deserve the best Lora and if he can't give it to you, then it's time to find someone else. You have a son to raise and you don't need to put up with his games.

*She turns back and looks at the picture of Lora and Gus on the shelf and shakes her head. She turns back and smiles at Lora*

I'm glad I finally able to see you again Lora. If anything should happen with him, you can count on me. *she gets Lora's hand and squeezes it* I will help you protect LirTan for you and if need be, I will take care of him.

***It's been told but better to repeat just in case: Open the link in a different window while reading the post. I wrote the posts in a way that it will follow with each song. This is Part I***

The scene starts back on New Sanctuary Moon and Lorana immediately recognizes it as the lake picnic that she had with Gus, the night that they officially became a couple. She turns and sees Gus sitting next to her, perfect and giving her that wicked combo that she so loved. He gets up and extends his hand to her and she grabs it. The song starts playing and he leads her in a dance.

Lorana smiles up at him, looking into his sparkling eyes and doesn't notice the music stopped but he continues singing to her. She leans back and loses her balance and starts falling, not realizing how high the hill got. Suddenly, Gus grabs her and helps her up, giving her his wicked combo again. He sets her back up on the ground and says, "Don't ever worry my love. I'll never let you fall." Lorana hugs him tightly and they continue dancing, now on top of the lake. The full moon's reflection sparkle in the water around them as they danced. At the end, he looks into her eyes and kisses her. "Always and forever my love. No matter what."

The scene changes and the planet turns dark. They look around, wondering what has happened and sees a mob coming towards them. Gus grabs Lorana and they start running to the old complex. The mob gets closer to them and it feels like Gus can't go any faster to get away from them. Lorana recognizes the leader as Lonefire and notices the man next to him as Nero/Saint, her first love. Finally they get to the complex and Gus shuts the door, locking them inside. Suddenly, Morrigna and Starkiller appears behind them and grabs Gus and Lorana, carrying them off into separate rooms. Lorana struggles to get free, screaming at Gus to help but he seemed to go willingly with her.

Lorana is strapped into a chair, facing Lonefire. He is joined by Athena and Ire, who brings a machine that started sucking the light powers out of her. They laugh at Lorana's poor attempt to get free of the chair, and when all hope is lost, Casey and Garik barges in. Casey unties Lorana and realizes that she did change. Both Casey and Garik called her Nahema and her hair was shorter and lighter. Lorana pays no attention but runs out of the room to find Gus. She is shocked to see him completely changed. His wicked combo turned to an evil grin and disappears in a whirl of dark smoke, Hana and Morri on either side of his arm.*
