Walking down to the Council chambers without Anakin complaining into my ear seemed unusual. Anakin, who had turned nineteen last month, never seemed to stop moaning. Even the smallest things would set him off and there he was again, fighting against me, who was barely aware of anything going on around myself.

Going to the Council meetings on my own was somehow weird. He was always there to back me up - and I was there for him. Today, it was different, though. He had been busy with other duties and could not attend. I have let him off, as he would have fought back if I hadn't. I have wondered what duties he could possibly have to attend to, but I got no reply.

"Where is the boy?" Mace had always addressed to Anakin as the " boy", which I highly disliked.

"He had other duties to attend to, Masters."
They muttered to themselves. I understood none of it.

"Well, since the boy is not here, you can tell him we're sending you to Naboo for reasons we can't explain. The Queen has requested your presence."
I nodded. After all, it was the only thing I could do.

"I will inform him."
I headed towards the door, not bothering to ask about times. I have been so tired lately.

"So what's the deal this time? Or did they finally decide to give us a break? he skipped up to me, chuckling happily to himself.

"Unfortunately, no, Padawan. Naboo is our next destination. " I watched as he went from happy to annoyed, just like that.

"Not again! Why? " he moaned, letting out a big sigh afterwards.

"The Queen has requested our presence for reasons unknown to me. " I watched him slump down, obviously unhappy with our mission.

We had just begun to walk to our quarters when I started to feel really dizzy. Anakin noticed I wasn't keeping up with his pace.

"Master, are you ok? " Anakin had slowed down and was walking with me now.

"I'm fine, really. Just tired. " I stopped walking, Anakin too.

"From what, Master? You're so pale! Are you sick? " Anakin was panicking. I could see it in his face.

"Anakin, I'm fine.. ". I could have said more, but my head was spinning and I was so dizzy and-

*thump*
