An Anakin Momnet: Rainstorm


Anakin Skywalker opend his eyes. 'Today is my last day here with Pad- Amidala, Blast!' He jumped up and pulled on his newly aquired Jedi tunics. As he buckled his belt Obi-Wan came into his room, tired and haggard as usual.

"Hi, Anakin." Obi-Wan spoke with a yawn. He streached and began to move to the fresher as he continued. "Today is our last day on planet. Pack your things now and then we can go and have breakfast
with the queen."

Anakin hurriedly packed his things and just to let his Master to know that he cares for him he packed his things and set out a clean pair of pants and tunics, along with his belt and Qui-Gon's lightsaber. Qui-Gon. That word brought fresh tears to Anakin's eyes but he brushed them away. He sat in the main room and waited for his Master.

Obi-Wan walked out of the fresher, towel around his waist and entered his room. He dressed and as he was buckling his belt he came out, lightsaber in hand. "Thank you for packing my things, Anakin. That was very nice you you." Anakin smiled at the praise. His short Padawan tail reached just below his right ear, being a collection of his and his Master's hair.

Anakin spoke up, "Master, when are we to meet Pad- I mean Queen Amidala?" Obi-Wan hooked the lightsaber to his blet and checked the ion clock in the corner. "In 15 minutes. Come, Padawan we must go now if we are to be on time." Anakin pulled on his own brown cloak, identical to Obi-Wan's. "Yes, Master."

Queen Amidala stood to greet the two Jedi. Anakin walked up first, grinned and bowed at her. He steped aside and left room for his Master. "My, Queen." Obi-Wan said beofre kissing her hand. "Yes, Padawan Kenobi we will always be in your debt, and your Master's for that matter."

A small voice spoke up from behind them speaking politely. "Excuse me your Highness, but he is a Knight now." Anakin smiled warmly. The Queen smiled, "Yes, of course we cannot forget that, now if you please, sit down." Obi-Wan and Anakin sat across from each other, while Amidala sat at the head of the table. Anakin looked at the food infront of him. Eggs, and something called Bacon from a planet named Earth. 'This is so Wizard!' Anakin thought as he dug into his meal.

Obi-Wan and Amidala made pleaseant conversation as Anakin took a drink from his blue milk, as a Tatoonie native he knew blue milk well. "How gose the re-building?" Obi-Wan asked. "Very well Knight Kenobi." Amidala replied. "Ah, no that will not do. Call me Obi-Wan or Ben. Ben was a nick name I was given by someone, long ago." Amidala smiled. "Alright Ben." Anakin smiled as he was able to speak somewhat freely during the whole breakfast.

After, Obi-Wan and Anakin said thier goodbyes and Amidala walked them out, and spoke to Obi-Wan, "Did you see how Sabe' looked at you?"

Obi-Wan looked at her, "What?"

"Ben, every girl and woman in the palace is deeply inlove with you!"

"What?!" Obi-Wan asked, surprised.

Amidala giggled. "Yes! I can tell when they look at you!" She knocked on his forehead, smileing. "You are a Jedi and yet you don't sense it?"

Obi-Wan shook his head and looked out a window. "It's going to storm..."

Anakin looked at both of them, alarmed. "You'd better shut any open windows and the shutters."

Obi-Wan looked at Anakin and laughed. "It's not that kind of storm, Anakin it is a rain storm. Come, Padawan. I will show you."

Anakin looked at him. "Alright, Master."

As Obi-Wan and Anakin walked away and Amidala went back to her room and heard the first peals of thunder. After a while at her paperwork she looked up, and out the window seeing Obi-Wan, arms outstreached standing in the rain. She smiled as she saw a very scared Anakin Skywalker huddled under an alocove.

Obi-Wan looked at Anakin. "Come on Ani."

Anakin shook his head. "No."

Obi-Wan smiled at him. "Do I look like I am melting to you?"

Anakin shook his head agian. "No, you don't."

Obi-Wan grined and said, "Then come on, it won't hurt you."

As Obi-Wan and Amidala looked on they saw Anakin take a step out into the storm and laugh as he felt the water drop on him. "This is so Wizard! I can't belive it! Water just dropps out of the sky here!"

Obi-Wan smiled and watched Anakin run around, and then suddenly stop, looking down. "Master, whats this?" He lookd down agian, peering into his reflection in a puddle.

Obi-Wan walked up and stepped in the puddle, splashing Anakin's boots. He jumped back startled. "Whoa!"

Anakin grinned and stooped down, splashing Obi-Wan's boots also. "I got ya!" Obi-Wan grinned and began to chase Anakin around. Anakin's laughter lifted the spirts of the young Queen who was under constant pressure to make the right decisions for her planet. As Obi-Wan caught Anakin and twirled him around she saw the first real smile in the whole time he had been here, after the battle.

Obi-Wan left Anakin go and looked up. He smiled at the Queen who was looking down on him and Anakin and then ran off to chase after Anakin, whose footfalls where makeing it easy to find him. Obi-Wan looked ahead, hopefully at the future and the many memories to come.
