Chapter One

"So We Meet Again"

Obi-Wan POV

I stare at the ceiling of my quarters. I just came back from a very important mission with Anakin and Ahsoka on Naboo. For once they didn't bicker. It was an actual peaceful trip back. Well the trip isn't over yet. We are still in the middle of flying back to Coruscant. I've been trying to sleep for hours but for some reason I can't. I walk out of my quarters in the Twilight and into the cockpit. I see that Ahsoka has probably gone to her quarters, but Anakin is still there. He's currently working on making the ship go faster. I guess he hates being on this ship as much as I do.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping?" I asked him

"I've tried but I can't. I sense something, nothing from the Dark Side, but something familiar."

"I know. I feel it too. What could it be?"

"Well whatever it is we'll find out soon enough. This ship is so cramped! I swear I can't sleep in here!"

"I completely agree. I wonder how Ahsoka is sleeping in here."

"I always ask her that. She says she just imagines that she's back in the temple or she's at peace. Whenever I try that though it never works. I guess she's just more in touch with Peace than we are."

"Yes well we are almost at Coruscant and we should awak- do you sense that?"

"It's Ahsoka! She hurting I can feel it."

Anakin took off to her quarters. I followed close behind him. There are so many hallways in this ship! She could be in danger. We stepped through her door and Anakin ran to her bedside and shook her awake.

"Ahsoka! It's fine it's just a night mare. You're safe."

Ahsoka shot up in her bed and gasped, breathing heavily for air. "I'm fine. I don't know what happened. I was reliving a moment in my past. This hasn't happened to me since I was seven. Why has it come back all of the sudden?"

"Huh. Funny you mentioned it. Obi-Wan and I sense something familiar upcoming in the future. We can't exactly place our finger on it though. We're almost at Coruscant so you can sleep peacefully there."

"Ok I guess. Let me guess we also have to tell them what happened don't we?" Ahsoka said now standing up with her crossing her arms over her chest.

"Well that won't take too long. So you don't have to worry too much."

"Alright, fine by me."

We looked out the window and we saw that we were no longer in hyperspace and we were coming closer to the planet Coruscant. Anakin sat down in the pilots chair and started to land the ship. When we landed we were welcomed by the Jedi Council.

"Master Kenobi, General Skywalker, Commander Tano, follow us." said Master Windu.

We followed them to their meeting room.

"Master Kenobi speak first you shall." Yoda said.

I told him my side of the mission and the council was very satisfied with it. Anakin and Ahsoka told what they have done and the masters were also pleased with our success.

"Now more important matters to discuss there are." Master Yoda said.

"What is it Master Yoda you seem troubled."

"A protection mission you must go on."

"Protection? Who are we protecting?" Ahsoka asked.

"We can't tell you that but trust me you know who it is."

"Senator Amidala?" I asked.

"No; someone much more important to the Republic. You mean a lot to this person."

"Duchess Satine?" Ahsoka asked.

"No stop guessing because we won't tell you. This person lives on a very distant planet."

"You mean outer rim far?"

"Much farther than that."

"Define farther than the Outer Rim."

"You will be going to another galaxy. Very far from here."

"Who do we need to protect that isn't even in this galaxy? What importance does this person have on the Republic?" Anakin asked while crossing his arms.

"She is very crucial to the Republic. If the Separatists find out about her existence, we will be in a very compromising position. That is why she is located very far away from this war." Plo Koon said.

"Leave in the morning you shall. Go, rest you must."

We all gave a bow and walked out of the room. Questions were bouncing around in my head. I apparently meant a lot to this girl, but who is she? I feel that she is familiar but I just can't remember her. Well I'll find out who it is tomorrow.

"Well this is a very interesting mission, Master." Anakin stated

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well we have very little information about this girl and the mission and apparently you are very important to her and it's not Satine. Who is she?"

"I wish I could tell you. I'm just as confused as you are. All we know is that she is very crucial to the war efforts. If we fail to protect her, it could lead to the downfall of the Republic. Quite honestly I don't want to be the cause of that."

"Neither do I Master."

We all walked back to our quarters. Tomorrow was going to be the start of a very important mission that needed us on high alert and as much energy we could possess. I gave Anakin and Ahsoka a nod before I entered my quarters. The second I hit the mattress my eyes drifted shut and I was left thinking about the mission.

Beep Beep.

"Five more minutes"

"Master, can you hear me?"

Oh great it's Anakin trying to contact me through comlink. I looked at it and was tempted to ignore before I remembered the mission. I was quite eager to meet this girl that was so important to the Republic.

"Kenobi here."

"Master we need you in the hangar. Snips and I are here waiting for you. We have to leave before the council notices we haven't left yet."

"I'm on my way."

I left my quarters and walked down to the hangar. I was interrupted by Cody when I reached the elevator.

"General Kenobi, where are you going this early?"

"I have a very important mission and I doubt that I'll be back any time soon. It's a protection mission and it's somewhere very far from here. Take care of my troops, Cody."

"You can count on me sir."

I gave Cody a slight nod and I pressed the button for the hangar. When the doors open I saw Ahsoka, arms crossed over her chest, standing outside the Twilight looking a tad irritated. Anakin must've already started trouble.

"Good morning Ahsoka. Where's Anakin?"

"Inside the ship. He told me to stay out here to wait for you. Hopefully he at least put in the coordinates."

"Let's go inside shall we?"

Ahsoka just nodded her head and turned towards the ship she dropped her arms and once we were in the cockpit Anakin faced us.

"Morning Master."

"Morning Anakin. Get any sleep last night?"

"Yeah I got a little sleep. This mission's really got me on edge. I can't wait to meet her."

"Did you put in the coordinates?"

"All taken care of Master."

"Then start this ship and you can meet her that much sooner."

We all had a good feeling that the trip was going to be rather long since it is in a different galaxy. Our suspicions were correct. We were trapped in this ship for about eight hours until we arrived. This planet seems very familiar to me. I feel as though I have been here before, but I can't remember why I was here. I noticed a small folded up piece of paper that had the coordinate on it. This is rather unusual. This paper not only had coordinates to a planet, but also the exact house that we would soon meet this girl.

We landed and the house was massive. It looked like it had three stories and balconies at every bedroom. It was beautiful and every bedroom had two glass doors that allowed them to step out onto the balcony. The balcony even had an awning.

"Wow." We all breathed out at once. Anakin dropped the ramp for us to get off of this ship, and that's when I saw her. The second I saw her I remembered her. I saw her thirteen years ago, when I just became a padawan to Master Qui-Gon. She was only seven at the time. She has changed. This girl had a cloak on but I could still see some of her features. I then realized her hands they were wrapped around a blaster.

"Put your weapons down and state your names and businesses." She demanded.

Anakin did not like this threat. He went to grab his lightsaber before I grabbed his wrist. "No Anakin. It's alright." I took my own weapon and placed it down on the ground in front of me and Ahsoka did the same with her two lightsabers. Anakin was the last person to lay down his weapon. "Forgotten me already have you? I thought I would have made a lasting impression on you."

"Just tell me your names and why you're here!" She demanded.

"I am Obi-Wan Kenobi. This is my fellow Jedi friends. This is General Anakin Skywalker, and Commander Ahsoka Tano. We have been sent here to protect you from the Separatists."

She removed the hood of her cloak and I noticed her smile. She ran to me and wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped my arms around her and spun her around. She laughed, "I missed you so much."

"Um sorry I don't want to interrupt your little reunion, but can someone please explain to me what is going on?" Anakin said

"Come inside we'll be safer there than out here. It's too risky to speak of it out here."

She turned around and led us into her marvelous home through the back door.

"Have a seat. This may take a while."
