Coruscant
While Padme was making her case to the Senate, Buffy roamed the guest building. She wished she could go out, but she didn’t want to risk meeting any more Jedis. Yes, she knew they were the heroes of the movies, but they reminded her too much of the stories she read about the Watchers’ Council when Giles wasn’t around.
After Merrick, she made the mistake of telling her parents the truth and they had her committed. If the Council cared about her at all, they would have gotten her out of there, but she had to recant to get herself out. That was part of why she reacted so badly to Giles’ presence in Sunnydale. Sue her for resenting the group that left her to rot!
Then there was the callus attitude they had towards their Potentials and Slayers. They controlled every aspect of the girls’ lives and stamped out any individuality as far as she could tell. She bet if she ever met a Potential, she’d be an obedient little robot.
All that nonsense the Jedi Council spouted about ignoring feelings and attachments to other people was complete bullshit and actually impossible for practically every single living being - and a few unliving beings as well.
But she was treating them like a foreign country, like India, and thought it would be hypocritical of her to interfere with their customs…apart from keeping Anakin out of their grasp. So she’d avoid them if at all possible because she probably wouldn’t be able to keep her opinions to herself if she came face-to-face with--
“Shrouded in darkness, you are,” a voice she hoped not to hear while in this world observed.
Buffy gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes as she turned around. Sure enough, the little green muppet, Yoda, was standing there. “Vague in words, you speak,” she retorted irritably.
Yoda cocked his head quizzically. “Offended you somehow, I have?”
“It gives me a headache to listen to you for long, but no, it’s the whole Jedi Council I have an issue with,” Buffy answered, hating herself for her inability to keep her mouth shut. Still, now that she had the chance to unload her frustrations, she was taking it, whether it was a good idea or not.
Now Yoda was truly confused. He hadn’t met this youngling before, but she appeared to know him and the other Jedi Masters. He attempted to use the Force to sense more about her, but other than the mist of darkness, she was unreadable to him.
While he was doing that, Buffy started her rant about what she hated most from the movies concerning the Jedi, “You take babies from their families, limit their attachments to others for fear of the attachments becoming too strong, train children to fight across the galaxy and worst of all, can’t tell when there is a freaking Sith Lord in the same freaking room as you! Hell, you even consider him an ally of sorts!”
Then her brain re-engaged and she realized that she let a little too much slip, and now she’d have to figure out a reason why she knew about Palpatine. Crap! Why did he have to be in this building at this time?
“What do you know of the Sith?” Yoda demanded. That wasn’t a term commonly known outside the Council, except by other Sith.
All of a sudden, Buffy felt magic pulling on her. Oh shit, whatever sent her to this reality was now sending her back. Quickly she explained, “I’m from a dimension where you are a fictional character and I know that Senator Palpatine is Darth Sidious and his apprentice is Darth Maul - I don’t know his real name. Another apprentice, or future apprentice, I’m not sure which, is Count Dooku. If you ever run across a boy named Anakin Skywalker, make sure his mother is kept safe and keep him away from Palpatine at all costs! The person who’ll be here in a couple seconds probably won’t remember what I’ve said and will likely be very confused. Please make sure she gets back to Queen Amidala’s quarters and is left alone until the Queen can talk to her. Please tell Padme what happened to me. I’ve left a note for her in a place that only she and I know about which covers the things I haven’t told her yet.”
A light flashed, causing Yoda to blink and instinctively drawn his light saber. When his vision cleared the youngling was looking around in confusion and a little fear.
“Where am I?” she asked.
Once Yoda got the youngling where she needed to go, the Jedi Council would have much to talk about. Even if she wasn’t telling the truth - which because of her desperation, he could now sense she believed she was - the mere mention of a Sith Lord necessitated a discussion, especially about the Senator and possible traitor amongst their numbers.
A/N: I love Yoda, but the Council can be a bunch of sanctimonious bastards…just like the Watchers’ Council - if Buffy ever got the chance to meet them. And I’m sorry if I was wrong about people knowing about the Sith; I’m not that well-versed in SW.
