Sorry that I haven't been posting. I am thinking about getting rid of a few stories. If you like a story and want it to stay, please shoot me a message and it will. If no one tells me about a story, it will be gone and done with. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sorry. Just read the story and review please!
"He is one with the Force, Anakin…You must let go." Obi-Wan calmly stated.
"What will happen to me now?" Little Anakin Skywalker asked as they watched Obi-Wan's old master, Qui-Gon Jinn, burn on a funeral pyre.
Obi-Wan turned to look at the young boy. "The Council has granted me permission to train you. I am your Jedi Master now. You will become a Jedi, Anakin, I promise." Anakin hid his tears by burring his face into Obi-Wan's robes.
-oOo-
"Alright, Anakin. This is your room. It's right next to mine in case you need anything." Obi-Wan leaned down to look at his new Padawan. He noticed that Ani looked scared. "Don't worry. Just do as I do and you will be fine." Anakin nodded to show that he understood. Obi-Wan gave him a reassuring smile.
"Come here, youngling." Obi-Wan pulled Anakin into a huge hug. Love and Attachments were forbidden by the Jedi Order, but occasional affection to show that everything is alright was all that Anakin needed at the moment. "I think we've had a long hard day. A few hours of sleep should do you well."
After Obi-Wan got his Apprentice in bed, he decided that he needed sleep as well. He was still grieving for his former Master. He half expected him to walk into the room at any moment and tell Obi-Wan that it was all a joke and that he got him. But he knew that that would never happen. His Master was gone, and it was his responsibility to train the boy that Qui-Gon had wanted him to train. If Qui-Gon thought that Anakin was the Chosen One, then Anakin was the Chosen One to Obi-Wan as well.
As Obi-Wan fell asleep, he couldn't help but think about the many missions that he and his Master went on and how strong their Force bond was. It made him wonder if Anakin and he would have that strong of a Force bond.

"Jedi Knight Kenobi. Jedi Knight Kenobi!" Obi-Wan comlink went off as he started to wake up. He was just getting used to being a Jedi Knight.
Obi-Wan lazily hit his comlink and spoke softly. "Yes?"
"You are needed in the training rooms for a session with your new Padawan. He must learn the basics by next month. That is all."
"K." Obi-Wan hit his comlink off again and rolled over. Then it hit him. A month to teach a youngling the basics of being a Jedi? That was impossible! He quickly got up and dressed at the speed of light. He ran to Anakin's quarters and saw that the boy was already up. "What are you doing up so early?"
"I always get up early." The boy simply responded as he finished getting his tunic on. "I slept in today. I'm sorry if I'm late."
"Anakin," Obi-Wan started. "You are up when Jedi Knights have to be up. Jedi Padawans don't have to be up for another hour."
"Um-"
"It's alright, my young apprentice. You can wake up whenever you want. I just assumed that you would want some extra sleep."
Anakin smiled at him. "I want to be just like you though."
"Well…Alright then." The team started walking to the training rooms.
"Master, What are we doing?"
"We are going to start your Jedi training. First, I will teach you how to meditate. Then, I might trust you enough to hold a training lightsaber." He looked back at Anakin while walking and did a teasing smile.
"You're going to have to teach me how not to cut my head off first!" He teased back.
Obi-Wan smiled and walked into the room. "Well, it looks like we have the whole room to ourselves for the two hours we're in here."
The team practiced and trained for an hour. Anakin matched every move that Obi-Wan set for him. Anakin sat down on the floor and started breathing hard about half way through.
"Are you O.K. Anakin?" Obi-Wan leaned down next to him.
Anakin nodded. "I'm fine."
"Anakin, if I'm going too fast for you, tell me."
"I'm fine." He instantly got up and tried training again. He fell back down again.
"Alright. We're done for the day."
"Master, I can do this."
"I won't have you dying on your first day." He picked Anakin up. "Let's take you to the MedCenter."
After Obi-Wan checked Anakin into the MedCenter, he decided to meditate in his quarters. As he was walking, he saw that many of the Jedi Masters and younglings were laughing as he walked by. He waved at his best friend Garren, but he just started laughing even more. His love interest, Siri, just laughed even harder. They all started pointing behind him. Obi-Wan turned to see that Anakin was following him and copying every step and movement that he did. He picked up the Padawan and put him back into the MedCenter.
"Ani, what were you doing. I told you to stay in the MedCenter."
"I told you that I wanted to be just like you. You said to do everything that you do and I'll be fine."
Obi-Wan cuddled his little Padawan. "That's not exactly what I mean, buddy."
"If you didn't mean it, then don't say it."
Obi-Wan couldn't stop laughing after that. He cuddled Anakin until they both fell asleep.
Far, far above them, the ghost of the late Qui-Gon Jinn smiles down on his newly knighted Padawan and his new Apprentice.
