Anakin Skywalker sat on his bed. He had been training with his new padawan all day and was ready to go to sleep. Anakin slid off his boots and put on his sleeping pants. He sat back down on his bed and reached for his blankets. Just as he had gotten comfortable, there was a small rap at the door, and another. Anakin groaned.

"What do you want now?" he said angrily. The door opened and a little girl about the age of thirteen walked in. She was wearing a white nightgown and holding a stuffed Jedi toy. She was small, with red fiery hair and big eyes.

"Master?" she said, "Are you awake?"

"Yes, Emmeline," said Anakin, "Were having a conversation aren't we?"

"Yes master," she said, "We are," Anakin sat up and looked at her. She giggled and he smiled. She may have been annoying at times, but she had to be the cutest little girl.

"Do you need something Emmie?" Emmeline ran to her master's bed and jumped up next to him. She sat down.

"I wanted to show you my doll I made," she said, "I made it look like my favorite Jedi," she showed him the Jedi doll and he looked at it. It had short black hair and a little braid; it was wearing identical clothes to a Jedi. Anakin looked at it more closely and realized who it was. Damani. Her favorite Jedi was Damani; Anakin frowned and gave the doll back to Emmie.

"Cute," he said, "Now, you should get to bed,"

"Oh okay master," said Emmie, "I will see you in the morning master. Love you," she gave him a little kiss on the cheek and left the room, skipping down the hall. Anakin smiled and rubbed his cheek. He swung his legs back into the bed and pulled the blanket to his chest. He lay there, thinking about Damani, it had been so long, almost five years since he had seen her face. The rest of the night Anakin was restless and could not sleep, Damani was on his mind, and he could not get her out of his head. He kept checking his clock, four in the morning, five, six, seven, seven thirty. Anakin woke up with a jolt and hit his head on the top bunk. He was drenched in sweat and panting. He turned and saw Emmeline staring at him.

"Did I scare you master?" she asked, "I'm sorry,"

"No," said Anakin breathing hard, "Um, go get ready okay?" Emmie nodded and ran out of the room. Anakin rubbed his head and stood. He walked into the bathroom and got dressed. As he was clipping his belt, Emmie came back in wearing her Jedi robes. Anakin came out of the bathroom and they walked out into the hall together. Emmie skipped alongside her master.

"Master?" she asked after a few minutes, "What are we doing today?" Anakin was barely listing to her voice. He was too busy thinking about Damani, about how he would never see her again.

"What?" he turned to look at Emmie,

"What are we doing today master?" she said looking up at him.

"Um," said Anakin, clueless, "Well, I thought about meditating by the stream in the courtyard. Then we could do some lightsaber training in the afternoon,"

"Ok," said Emmie, "Sounds good to me master," Anakin nodded and led her to the courtyard. They walked to the end and sat down by the big tree. Emmeline crossed her legs and sat still. She let the sound of the stream take her thoughts away. Anakin tried to let it do the same for his mind, but the thought of Damani was drilled into his head. Emmie kept her eyes closed and listed to her master's thoughts.

"Master," she said, "Master, calm down,"

"What?" said Anakin, "I am calm, stop reading my thoughts... get out of my head!" Emmie laughed and Anakin pushed her. Emmie opened her eyes and sat back up.

"Master what is wrong?" she asked, "Really though, what is wrong?" Anakin sighed.

"It's, um, how do I explain this to you," he ran his fingers through his hair, "Your doll you made, that Jedi? Well, I knew that Jedi, Damani Jamano. She came from Earth, in a different galaxy; we met and fell in love. Now I know Jedi are not supposed to fall in love, but we had something special, curiosity, Well, Damani's curiosity got the best of her and she ran away. We found her and her new friend Han Solo, we took him to prison, and she was sent back to Earth. But not before they...not before they..." his voice trailed off.

"Master?" said Emmeline. Anakin cleared his throat.

"Not before they..."

"Wiped her memory," said Emmie finishing her master's sentence, "I'm sorry. Seeing my doll must have unlocked memories you had put away," Anakin nodded, a tear falling down his face. Emmie put her hand on her master's shoulder. He grabbed it and held it in his hands.

"Don't you leave me," he said looking up.

"I won't," she said, "I promise," Anakin stood and walked up to the brick wall.

"We used to sit here on this wall together," he said touching the side, "I would make fun of her, and she would push me off the side. We had so much fun together," he sighed.

"I'll bet Damani still has you in the back of her head," said Emmie, "You know, they can't erase everything, that would mean a brain explosion,"

"So," said Anakin, "That means I could find her, and she might remember me?"

"Yeah I guess so," said Emmie, "Why?"

"Then let's go!" cried Anakin.

"Yeah!" said Emmeline, "Let's do this!"

"Wait," said Anakin, "How did you know all that stuff about brain explosion and erasing stuff?"

"Um," said Emmie, "Come on lover-boy, let's go find your girlfriend,"

"Right but-"

"Move it!" Emmie pushed Anakin towards the door, "We're gonna find that girl, if it takes our lives. Well if it takes our lives, what is the point of finding her? Then why would we even go looking for her, when it's gonna kill us?"

"No more questions," said Anakin, "We need to find her right?"

"Right," said Emmie.

"Let's keep the questions to a minimum,"

"You got it pal,"

"Don't call me pal,"

"Yesaroony goony,"

"Geez, you are just full of puns today aren't you?"

"Yup mup,"

"Quit it,"

"You got it pal,"
