Disclaimer: It all belongs to George Lucas, I just like to play in his universe once and a while. However Anaika is my creation.
Summery: Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Anaika Skywalker, are taken from their own reality into one where he has died and she has never existed. With no way back to their own reality, they begin a new life. In a galaxy where darkness is shrouding the future and life becomes one trial after another.
Authors' note: All Journey times come from the Galactic Gazetteer - listed by The Official Star Wars Fact File. (Except the journey time for Coruscant to Trails and the approximant journey time for Coruscant to Naboo. I took a guess on that one.)
A special 'thank you' to SpaceGhoti, who volunteered to beta, read Analogy of Conviction. I am forever grateful.

Chapter One: The Force Will Reveal
Course from Alderaan to Coruscant - 16 hours.
Qui-Gon came into the cockpit of the ship seeing his apprentice staring out at the stars, deep in thought. He sat in the co-pilot's chair. "Lost in thought, Padawan?"
The seventeen year old grinned sheepishly. "Sorry Master."
"So what are you contemplating, Ani?"
"I was just thinking about what you said to the Prince, about being in control of ones actions." the Padawan answered. "He seemed shocked at your honesty."
"Sometimes not everything is as it seems, Padawan."
"Yes Master."
He smiled and ruffled his Padawan's hair. They had a strong bond, the Force having brought them together. He considered the seventeen year old more then just an apprentice; their relationship was as strong as a father and daughters.
Anaika Skywalker glanced thoughtfully at her Master. "Now who is deep in thought, Master?"
He ruffled her hair again. "Pain."
She grinned and saw the indicator light flashing. "We're approaching Coruscant."
"Bring us out of lightspeed, Padawan."
"Yes Master." she reached for the lever and drew it back.
The ship didn't enter normal space smoothly; it was anything but a smooth entrance. The two Jedi fought the controls of the ship, the internal dampeners keeping them from being thrown around in their seats.
Anaika initiated a risky maneuver that leveled the ship out. "We've passed through some sort of anomaly," she reported. "It bounced us right out of hyperspace."
"We'll report it to the Council as soon as we land." Qui-Gon stated.
She nodded, however she couldn't dismiss the feeling that something was wrong. It was as if the galaxy didn't feel right.
"You're centering on your anxieties again, Padawan." her Master noted calmly.
"Sorry Master."
"It's all right, Ani, I feel it too." he reassured her. Something wasn't right.
Anakin Skywalker glanced at his Master as they exited the ship. He frowned at Obi-Wan's smile. "It wasn't funny, Master."
"Yes it was," the Jedi retorted. "And you know it."
The seventeen year old gave up trying to be unhappy. "I suppose it was a little funny," he admitted and laughed with the older Jedi.
The two came to a quick halt seeing who had disembarked from the ship beside them.
"That can't be possible." Obi-Wan whispered, starting towards the two.
Anakin hurried after him his focus on the apprentice. She was beautiful. Short wavy dark blond hair, a thin braid of a Padawan over her right shoulder and those icy blue eyes. "Master, this could be some trick."
Obi-Wan stopped. His apprentice was right. "Lets find out." he suggested and called out. "Master Qui-Gon!"
The older Jedi Master turned, and then acknowledged the younger Knight with a nod. "Master Obi-Wan."
Anaika glanced at her Master. "Something is very wrong here. Master Obi-Wan..." her voice faded.
"I know, Anaika," Qui-Gon said sadly. "Died two years ago."
Now Master and Padawan stood facing Master and Padawan.
"You shouldn't be here," Obi-Wan announced. "You're dead."
"Yes." Qui-Gon agreed. "As are you."
Anaika pocked her Master's arm not being able to resist stating the obvious. "He feels alive to me."
Anakin held back a laugh and copied the action with his own Master, feeling a connection to this apprentice. "So does he."
"I'm glad you both find this amusing." Obi-Wan remarked dryly.
Both Padawan erupted into fits of laughter much to their Masters calm astonishment.
"I think we need to talk." Qui-Gon decided.
Obi-Wan agreed. "Now before these two hurt themselves."
Both teenagers stopped laughing but were grinning, finding an instant connection with one another. Following their Masters into the ship Jinn and his apprentice had arrived on. Going into the main compartment they sat.
Qui-Gon came straight to the point. "You said I was dead."
Obi-Wan nodded. "You were killed by a Sith Lord at the end of the Naboo Blockade."
Qui-Gon stroked his bearded chin. "Interesting, I survived that battle. My apprentice at the time defeated the Sith and was granted Knighthood."
"Master Obi-Wan was killed two years ago on a mission, his apprentice barely survived," concluded Anaika.
"Who was his apprentice?" Anakin asked, even though he already knew.
"My twin, Anakin Skywalker." she answered.
Obi-Wan sat back in his chair. "So you're both from a different reality. How did you get here?"
"We passed through an anomaly coming out of lightspeed." Qui-Gon informed. "Other then myself, I take it Anaika isn't a part of this reality?"
"No." Anakin shook his head. "I have no sister."
"Interesting."
"We should take this to the Jedi Council." Obi-Wan decided. "Discreetly of course."
Qui-Gon agreed. Pulling on their hoods, he and Anaika left the ship with Anakin and Obi-Wan. Being acknowledged as they entered the Temple. Making a request to speak with the Council, which was granted. They proceeded directly to the chambers.
Qui-Gon and Anaika shielded their presence through the Force. Standing beside Obi-Wan and Anakin.
"Master Obi-Wan, visitors you have brought." Yoda noted.
"Yes, Master."
"Introduced them, then." Mace Windu insisted.
Obi-Wan glanced at the Jedi and nodded, both removed their hoods to audible gasps. "You all know Master Qui-Gon. This is his apprentice, Anaika Skywalker."
Both dropped there shielding, so their life force was sensed as well.
"Return from the dead, you have not, Master Qui-Gon." Yoda said.
"No, Master Yoda. It seems both Anaika and I are from a different reality."
"Hmm." the little Master considered it. "Brought here for a reason, you were. Find it, we must."
"Tell us how you came to be with us?" Ki-Adi- Mindi asked.
Qui-Gon recalled the tale for the Council from start to finish.
"Search your ship we will, answers there may be." Yoda decided, then focused on Anaika. "Tell me, young one. Brought to the Temple, what age were you?"
"My brother and I were brought to the Temple at six months by Master Qui-Gon and his apprentice at the time, Obi-Wan Kenobi." she revealed, adding. "Both Anakin and I have the highest recorded Midi-Chlorian counts, over 20 thousand."
"Interesting, Anakin wasn't discovered until he was nine." Obi-Wan recalled. "Master Qui-Gon found him on Tatooine."
"Ani and her brother were born on Alderaan." Qui-Gon said to the Council.
Anakin glanced at Anaika seeing she was looking at him, he grinned. *I was a late bloomer.*
She bit her lip to stop laughing but her eyes were. *I bet you were.*
Qui-Gon gave her one of his 'don't you dare' looks.
Anaika got control but her eyes still laughed.
"We'll have a team check your ship." Mace informed. "Master Obi-Wan, find Master Qui-Gon and his apprentice quarters."
"Yes Master."
The four bowed and then left.
"Here for a reason, they are." Yoda noted.
"What would it be though?" Adi Gallia questioned.
"The Force will reveal." the little Jedi insisted.
