Chapter 54 - My name is Neon

Ash didn’t pay any attention to any of the other younglings. None of them even drew her attention to them. They were two generic. The blonde haired boy was unique, although most people would call him reckless.
Once everyone was done battling and the rest of the Knights congratulated the other younglings, Ash walked up to the boy. He was standing by himself. Nobody was by him. They were all talking to the Knights.
“You did well out there,” she said approaching the boy.
“No I didn’t. Do you see anybody congratulating me?”
“I am. I thought you were pretty good myself.”
The boy was looking at the ground but then he looked up to Ash.
“Hey…I know you! Didn’t you like…just almost die?” he asked.
Ash smiled.
“Yes, that was me. Although I seem to do that a lot.”
The boy stared at her in awe.
“You’re Ash Chi! You’re famous around the younglings! We all admire you and you’re sister!”
“Really?” Ash asked. She didn’t think of herself as popular.
“Do you even remember what you’ve been through?” the boy said smiling. “There was that one time when you were captured by a bounty and hunter and then that time you and you’re friends snuck out and defeated a Dark Jedi and his apprentice and…”
As he kept on talking he activated his lightsaber and started to act like her was battling someone. Ash laughed.
“How do you know so much about me?” Ash asked.
“Trust me…word gets around.”
“So…it appears you already know my name, what’s yours?” she asked.
“My name is Neon,” he said catching his breath.
Ash extended her hand. He took it and they shook hands.
“Good to meet you Neon. I have a question for you.”
“Hit me with it!” he said.
Ash smiled.
“Would you like to become my apprentice?” she asked.
The boy’s mouth dropped and started to say something but Ash stopped him.
“I think I already know what you’re about to say,” she said. The boy just smiled back at her.
