The Chancellor

The next morning, Anakin is on his way up the steps leading to the temple, after the nightmare he and Padme had a talk and the first thing he is going to do is to spend time with his padawan and Jack, until, he come across a long line of citizens that leads to a dark figure behind, what it seems to be a lemonade stand, in front of the Jedi temple.

"Excuse me" said Anakin "what are you doing?"

The dark figure looks up and brought a smile and revealed his face to the Chosen One

"Selling" he replied "you cannot believe how many idiots, will pay TEN CREDITS for one glass" he smiled triumphantly.

"By selling lemonade Darth Sith" questioned Anakin

"Evil lemonade" Darth Sith said "you cannot get enough evil, in this you know" who is still smiling, Anakin frowned if the council does not want him alive, he would have killed him on the spot, not only that he is a sith and he is also a complete idiot, but to his surprise to find the leader or god of all sith's selling lemonade in front of the Jedi temple.

"Hang on a minute" said Anakin "if you are this big shot of a sith lord, why are you selling lemonade?"

Darth Sith ponders how to answer his question without revealing his most evil diabolical plot ever he replies

"Well, ever since I lost my empire, and all my money, I have to start small and climb to the top baby, where I can think BIG" with a big smug on his face

Anakin had enough and started to leave before Darth Sith boast of his so called accomplishments, even though he wonders how did he get a lot of customers and even though Darth Sith claims that he got brilliant advertisement schemes, but he decide not to think about it, knowing with Darth Sith its bad.

Jack woke up with in a bad mood, usually in a good mood but with the recent events during the clone wars it has changed him, he starting to realize that this war is going on for a while and it won't be ending anytime soon and especially Ahsoka, if they weren't Jedi they could have been together, have a family, live a life they always wanted, no wonder he was jealous of Anakin, he can be in a relationship without people knowing while Jack makes it too obvious at times, but he kept calm and passive and despite the brotherly relationship to him he could have gone and told the council.

To Jack surprise, Ahsoka went through his door with a smile, "morning Jacky" she said.

"Morning Ahsoka, why all cheerful all of the sudden" asked Jack

"Well Skyguy had told me to get you because we are going somewhere" she said smiling

"Did he tell you where we are going" said Jack despite this it is nice hanging out with Anakin, but at least he get to spend more time with Ahsoka as well.

"I think he rather tell you personally" she said seriously

"Translation it something I'm not going to like" he said in a huff

"Would you go please, with me" Ahsoka said fluttering her eyes at Jack, damn he loved the way she does that with the eyes, but he hated it when she uses it to convince him to go

"Fine" he huffed "even though it had to be good if it's Skyguy"

As they head towards the temple entrance, they spotted Anakin waiting for them as they got closer; Anakin looked up with a smile.

"Took your time, you two, come on we off to see the chancellor"

This took Jack aback with surprise; during the war, he sometimes visits Palpatine for political advice, though he enjoyed the conversation they had, but did not expect seeing him with all three of them even though he is aware that Anakin is close friends with the chancellor, but in the end, it might not be a bad idea.

Meanwhile at the senate building Anakin, Ahsoka and Jack had finally reached the Chancellor office, with a Palpatine sitting on his desk.

"Ah Anakin, what a pleasant surprise, I see you brought your padawan and..." he paused for a moment when he saw Jack.

"And a pleasant to see you Jack", even though this surprised Ahsoka a bit, but not with Anakin, because he knew that the Palpatine sees Jack as well, in their time that is about dealing with politics.

"You too your Excellency" Anakin replied with a bow and with the other two followed.

"Oh how rude of me for asking Anakin, may I know the name of your padawan" Palpatine asked with a smile "I heard exploits of you, Jack and your padawan, never got the chance to know her name".

"Her name is Ahsoka, your Excellency and don't worry about it" Anakin replied there was a short paused before the Chancellor finally spoke

"Oh before I forget, the Senate is very grateful for your win on the invisible hand Anakin," Palpatine said. "But unfortunately, since that General Grevious escaped again, I won't be able to give up my emergency powers until there is an end to it in sight and with General Grevious still at large I'm afraid we have a long way to go."

"I'm sure that the council is making it their business to find him quickly as possible," Anakin replied.

Palpatine nodded and then turned to Ahsoka and Jack. Jack feels that Ahsoka wanted to hide behind her master but couldn't, out due to respect to the Chancellor. But sometime he felt something unsettling about the chancellor and but he dismissed this because he knew that he is a good man.

"Tell me Ahsoka. Do you keep up with the political arena?" Palpatine asked her "I know that Jack here is trying to keep up with it" he chuckled, which made Anakin chuckled as well.

"No sorry. I find it… uninteresting," Ahsoka said slowly and she could feel her master's and Jack amusement through their connection.

"Maybe it is for the best that you, didn't get into all of that. A world s full of people looking out for their own greed in their name in the needs of others and they are just waiting to snare good people into their traps," Palpatine said disdainfully this caught Jack off guard he knew that politicians can be greedy at times, but corrupt.

"Of course you aren't like that and a few others?" Anakin asked with a smile.

Jack had a good idea who it was, Senator Amidala, highly much doubt she is one of the corrupt, he laughed at the thought

"Of course not me, I try my best to keep those corrupt senators, at bay, but there is only so much I can do," Palpatine said sighing.

"Can you do something about it" Jack said "like getting rid of the corrupt"

Palpatine sighed in regret "Sorry to say Jack, if I do that, without proper evidence, the senate will rain upon me like a bunch of bantha's, and accuse me of abusing this position"

Jack nodded as he understands that it would put him in a difficult position.

"I'm sorry to have our visit cut short Anakin, but I have some things to do, I'm sure we'll all be glad when this war is over," Palpatine replied starting to go over to his massive work load. "Oh and Jack. I've enjoyed your company today. Do stop by and visit if you have the chance and also pleasant in meeting you Ahsoka."

Jack and Ahsoka nodded as they bid the chancellor good day.

"He seems like a nice man… for a politician," she added jokingly.

"The chancellor's a good man. He's been a friend of mine since I got to the jedi temple, He seems to have taken a liking to you Ahsoka," Anakin said pleased that the chancellor seemed to like his padawan "and also Jack in those visits, you must have given him a great impression, keep it up" proud that Jack has a understanding like him, when it come towards the chancellor.

Jack smiled "cheers Skyguy" and then they carried off back to the temple, until Ahsoka spotted something.

"Oh no" she cried this caused Anakin and Jack to turn round a say what

"They stolen another gunship again" they all looked at the gunship and frowned.

Inside the gunship, which is now out of control, most likely malfunctioned.

"OH LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE" Michael T. Hedgehog shouted in anger

"WHAT I'VE DONE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE" Alan T. Bandicoot retaliated

"I'M NOT THE ONE WHO SPILLED COFFEE ON THE CONTROLS" Michael screamed.

"NO I DIDNT DO IT" Alan cried in defence

"I JUST SAW YOU DID IT"

Suddenly they crashed into a nearby apartment building which made a huge explosion and fire which made a bunch of people jumping out, and thus again another harmless joy ride gone wrong.

"Err lets quickly get out of here" Anakin said, thankfully Ahsoka and Jack agreed.
