Chapter 1

Anakin raised Palpatine into the air and hoisted him over the railing of

the reactor shaft. He cried out into the force as the sith lightning jolted

through his body. He collapsed onto the floor of the great throne room of the

Death Star. The last thought before unconsciousness fell upon him was, "If I

could only have a second chance." Then the darkness fell upon him.

Obi-Wan sat cross-legged on his bed, deep in meditation when he

noticed something. There were ripples in the force that were becoming

closer and closer together till they resembled a great wave. The wave

seemed to be coming closer and closer, until it reached him. As it reached

where Obi-Wan was and then suddenly vanished. After this his meditation

had become pointless. He was getting no where with it, so he decided to get

some rest and try it again tomorrow.

Anakin woke from a seemingly unrestful sleep and looked around at

his surroundings. He was in a rather small room that contained very few

personal items, Some of which he recognized as things he had taken with

him to the Jedi temple when he had left Tatooine so many years ago. Then

he realized something else, "I'm alive!"

It took several seconds for that one thought to sink in and when it did

he couldn't lay still. He scurried from his bed in a frantic attempt to get up

and was surprised at how easy the task ended up being. He was so used to

relying on the force for everything he did that it felt enormously freeing to

not have to do so.

The feeling of his bare feet on the floor was something he hadn't felt

in years. Then he realized something else, "I'm short!" He looked down at

himself and saw his nine year old body.

He stood there for a few minutes contemplating how he could have

possibly gotten where he was in the form that he was in. He quickly got

board of just standing there so he quickly got dressed and peeked out of his

door. Seeing no one there, he carefully closed his door and proceeded into a short hallway. He recognized the place as his and Obi-Wan's Home in the Jedi temple.

He quietly passed Obi-Wan's door and continued to walk around the small apartment. To all appearances he was in the past and then another more wonderful thing occurred to him. If he indeed was in the past he could have a second chance to do things right.

The urge to move was too great for him to resist. He found his training light saber in its place on a shelf and then picked up the training droid sitting next to it.

He powered up the droid and programmed it to level fifteen. As he turned on his light saber the spherical droid rose up and started its random shots at the boy. Anakin easily blocked the shots and shifted his stance to one that he was more comfortable with.

He leaped through the air with an ease achieved with a masterful grace. He fought like a knight though some of the stances felt rather awkward to him due to his decrease in height and arm length. The rest came with ease and precision. He summoned the knowledge that he had gained from his Jedi training and placed all of his emotions aside.

Try as he might, Obi-Wan couldn't get to sleep, so he lay in bed and thought about his new apprentice. Anakin had only been his apprentice for two weeks and was already showing great improvement in the basic saber forms. The only major problem was that the boy had no patience to learn. He was always rushing to get things done.

Just then he heard a faint humming sound. It took him a few seconds to place it but he realized it was the sound of a light saber. This rather alarmed him due to the lateness of the hour. He got slowly up and tip toed down the hall, saber in hand.

What he saw stunned him and both his light saber and jaw fell to the floor unnoticed. There before him in deep concentration was his apprentice easily gliding through the air and guiding his light saber with an intonation Obi-Wan had only seen in the most experienced knights. On his face was an expression of relief and joy, in what Obi-Wan had no idea.

Anakin raised his saber and it connected to the droid with a crack. The droid fell to the floor and on further inspection Anakin noticed a crack going up the side. He returned the droid and saber to their rightful places, being careful to be quiet. It was only then that he noticed Obi-Wan's presence.

Anakin slowly turned around, not nearly prepared for what he was about to see.
