A/N: Okay so this is my first Star Wars fanfic, it's actually something I have been playing around with in my head for a few weeks now and I couldn't stop myself from writing it even though I have a list of other fics I need to complete. This A/N will hopefully be my only pre-chapter author's note as I usually hate to do this, but there are some things that need to be said before ya'll go jumping in.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

Although the Prologue is set during the first movie, it is most likely going to be the only chapter set in a movie, though I may or may not add the third movie at the end. The reason I skip number two is because this is actually primarily a CLONE WARS fanfic. This was just an Anakin meets my OC kind of prologue and that timing was best set when Anakin first steps foot in the Jedi Temple. The following chapters will be from Clone Wars episodes.

You will have noticed in the summary my OCs title being Jedi Guardian Mother, a few of the details are explained in the fic, so I won't go into too much detail, but something I have always believed is that a child needs a mother or at least someone to fit that role, I'm a fully grown adult and I still need my mum, so I had thoughts of what would the Star Wars universe be like if Jedi younglings actually had a mother figure before they became Padawans, and so this fic is born

Anything else will be after the chapter

Enjoy!

Prologue – First Encounter

As Anakin left the room alongside Master Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, he could only feel rejected; although he understood little of the events that just unfolded, he could also not understand why they would not allow Qui-Gon to train him. He had come all this way to Coruscant for apparently no reason at all.

It was while he was thinking this that the three encountered a young woman a few metres outside the doorway they had just walked through. She was clearly a Jedi if the lightsaber on her belt was any indication, though from what little he had seen of the Jedi, her attire was rather odd. Her robes appeared more dress-like and she herself seemed far too delicate to be a Jedi. Though the more he stared, the more familiar she appeared and yet he knew he has never met her.

Her gentle smile greeted them as they walked towards her, Obi-Wan being the first to speak, "Sister, I am surprised you did not meet us upon our return, a bit delayed don't you think?"

The woman simply rolled her eyes and as a playful smile then stretched across her face, Anakin could only look back and forth between her and Obi-Wan as a little light bulb in his head slowly started to come to life. "Now brother, I do have things to do that are more important than welcoming you every time you and Master Qui-Gon return from whatever trouble you have gotten yourself into lately."

The two continued their back and forth while Anakin's little light bulb started getting brighter the more he observed them. Qui-Gon lowered himself slightly to speak to him, "I was wondering when we would run into her, that is Mother Sulani Kenobi; she is Obi-Wan's twin sister. A rare occurrence if ever there was one, most siblings that join the order don't usually know of their relation so as not to form attachments, however, these two have always had a strong enough bond to know for a fact they're twins."

Anakin looks up to Qui-Gon as the man turns on his light bulb for him before something else in what he said peaks his interest, "Wait, sir, you said she was 'Mother,' what do you mean by that?"

"Oh yes, as you just heard, you are considered too old to join the Order, that is because most younglings come here when they are too young to even know who their own parents are. Due to this, the Order created a new type of Jedi called Guardian Mothers; their role is to care for a small group of younglings in place of a mother until they become Padawan Learners. This came about in order to give the younglings a stable guardian until they were old enough not to need the care and to ensure they are raised in as a close a fashion to non force sensitive children as they can get," Qui-Gon paused to let this sink in before continuing.

"Now, don't get me wrong, yes their main job is to raise the younglings in their care, but every Guardian Mother is a trained Jedi. They must complete their training as a Padawan before they can become Guardian Mothers; it just means their training is usually not for as long as other Padawan Learners. Hence, she finished her training earlier than Obi-Wan."

Anakin let this sink in; he did not think he could ever consider anyone but his mother in that role. Though, when he thought about it, Master Qui-Gon did say that other younglings did not even know their real parents; so he supposes it did make a bit of sense. As he came to this conclusion, he raises his head from where he was looking at the floor; this causes him to meet the grey-blue eyes of Mother Sulani as she watches him with that gentle smile back on her face.

She then slowly moves towards him, her brother on her heal, and she stops about a foot in front of him. They stare for a while before she finally says anything, "Hello young Anakin Skywalker, it is a pleasure to meet you. You may call me Mother Sulani."

Anakin was not sure how he felt about calling anyone else his mother and he voices this, "But, you're not my mother, I think it would be a bit strange to call anyone else that."

This causes her only to smile jovially, "Oh no young one, I am not here to replace your mother and my words did not mean that; Mother is my title. Think of it like this, you may call any of the Jedi Council 'Master,' but this does not make them your master. In the same manner, you may call me 'Mother' though it does not make me such."

Anakin thought about it and realised she was right plus it really could not hurt; besides, his mother raised him not to be rude and not using her title would be considered rude. "I see your point; very well, it is nice to meet you Mother Sulani."

Her smile widens as she kneels slightly and her hand comes to rest on his cheek, "You really are a bright boy aren't you young Anakin? No matter what the Council may say little one, I see great things ahead for your future."

This makes Obi-Wan raise his head and he finally speaks for the first time since following his sister to them, "Are you saying you had a vision of this boy's future?"

Mother Sulani sighs as she moves back to an upright position, her hand slipping from his face, "Now now brother, must all my words about someone's potential future be a vision? No, this is just one of my gut feelings, the ones that usually end up being spot on."

She winks in Anakin's direction causing both him and Master Qui-Gon to chuckle, the latter finally speaking again, "Okay you two, the three of us have a ship to catch, we cannot keep the Queen of Naboo waiting."

"Master is right, now is not the time for this," says Ob-Wan, his more stiff demeanour returning.

Anakin watched as a frown started to mar Mother Sulani's otherwise smooth face, "What's wrong Mother Sulani?"

This catches the other two's attention and they all turn to face her. She sighs before answering, "Just another one of those gut feelings, only this time not a good one and accompanied by a disturbance in the force."

The two men exchange looks before Obi-Wan asks the question they are both thinking, "What do you mean sister?"

"I mean only that you be careful; something about all of this has not sit well with me since the beginning. Also, I heard about this possible Sith, that causes me even more anxiety so you both better be vigilant."

"Do not worry, we will be fine," Qui-Gon says with a calm voice.

"You better," she retorts before turning back to Anakin. "You be careful as well little one and I know we will meet again."

"I'm sure we will Mother Sulani," he replies, a small smile on his face.

After a quick good-bye to her brother, his master and the innocent, young Skywalker, she watched their backs as they made their way to the lifts.

Unfortunately, only two would return.

However, what Mother Sulani did not yet know, was that in ten years, she was going to need to start curbing some of the young Anakin's darkness. For if she is unable to do this, the horrible future she will soon see in her dreams will become reality.

A/N: To be honest, I think this is one of my longest prologues ever, but it covered all that I wanted it to.

As a continuation of my before chapter A/N, other things I need to say:

Okay so, I'm sure I shocked a few of you with the twins thing, it was just something I decided to throw in there as a legitimate reason for Anakin to meet her his first time in the Temple, sue me haha

Moving on, the last sentence probably made some of you think 'oh, is this another fix it fic where Anakin doesn't join the darkside?' Well maybe, I'm still fiddling with the idea in my head about the likelihood of this OC being able to change the events enough that Anakin doesn't fall. I don't want it to be a massive change in one go, I kind of want it to be more transitory.

On that note, I sometimes wonder, after having watched Clones Wars, if Ahsoka staying may have changed the outcome of Anakin's falling. I still think one of Anakin's biggest regrets is that he let that happen to her and her leaving is a big dark spot in his life, so it's possible that I may even be changing the end of Clone Wars, who knows, I don't yet, probably only if I can think of a feasible way to make it happen.

I think I may leave things at this for now, but if you have any Qs, certainly ask in the reviews or PM me. I can't say for sure how consistent the updates will be, but certainly let me know if you like where this is going.

Seza, out.
