MirskianQueen: Since two heads are better than one in certain things, I've decided to coauthor this story with my beta... ForeverWildfire2.0
ForeverWildfire2.0: Which I'm having a lot of fun with as I love to offer ideas. All writers experience writers block. And we are no different. Wait... will this be on both our accounts?
MirskianQueen: I think having the story on both our accounts would be a good idea-
ForeverWildfire2.0: Lol, maybe we should get to the story... so without further adieu.
Both: ON WITH THE STORY!

REBORN.

Anakin renounced the darkside after he killed the younglings, horrified by what he had done, Anakin returned to Palpatine's office to confront him only to discover to Palpatine had already escaped. Anakin turned himself in when Obi-wan and Yoda returned. For his crimes, Anakin was sentenced to death.
But after his execution Anakin is brought back by the Force... With no memory of his past.

Chapter 3

They took longer to find him then he had expected, after Padme and Ahsoka had left with Anakin, he had gone to his quarters. After a while, Master Windu and Master Yoda walked in and stood in front of him... They didn't look impressed.
"Aid Skywalker in his escape, you did."
Obi-wan shrugged, "Do you have proof?" He wasn't going to admit it, but he wasn't going to hide his involvement either.
Master Windu sighed, "Where are they going?"
"I'm sorry," Obi-wan shook his head, "but I am not going to tell you that," If he did, the Jedi would only 'arrest' Anakin again and the last thing he wanted was to take away Anakin's freedom again.
"Committed serious crimes, Skywalker has." Yoda shook his head, "Pay for them, he must."
They were back to that again, Obi-wan closed his eyes and sighed in frustration, "He's already paid for what he did." Looking at the two Jedi masters, he folded his arms. "He could have just run away after he renounced the Dark side," Obi-wan shook his head, "Anakin turned himself in." His gaze went to Yoda. "He knelt at you feet and allowed you to kill him." He silently groaned at the unwavering looks on Master Windu and Master Yoda's faces, "If Anakin had been brought back as a child, would you still have had him imprisoned?"
"Brought back as a child, Skywalker was not."
"No, but he was brought back as innocent as a child," Obi-wan shook his head, "you can't punish someone for crimes they have no memory of, it is unjust and cruel." Looking at Yoda, Obi-wan shook his head, "It is not the Jedi way." He left his chambers leaving the two Masters to think over what he had said. Now... he could only hope that things would turn out alright.

There was hardly any talking in the ship aside from R2's and C3PO's bickering. The three others that were in the ship remained silent. However two of them (Padme and Ahsoka) kept glancing at their companion who seemed to be quite tense at the moment. Finally he had enough of the glances. "Is there something you want?" He snapped at them. Padme sighed as Ahsoka shook her head.
"I understand why you don't trust us... Anakin... but we just want to help you." Ahsoka said in a gentle voice.
"And how can I be sure you won't stab me in the back?" He glared at them. Padme winced and turned to look at him with a hurt look showing in her eyes.
"I would never harm you, Ani. I'd do anything for you." She whispered loud enough for him to hear. He looked at her in confusion.
"Why? What am I to you?" Curiosity got the better of him.
"You... you're a very close friend Anakin. I wouldn't trade that for anything." Padme weakly smiled at him. Anakin looked at her closely. He could tell she was telling the truth... but it wasn't the full truth. What was she hiding?

Obi-wan had gone to the Meditation Garden, hoping to relax. He meditated for a while. However it was only a few hours later when he felt the presences of Master Yoda and Master Windu once again.
"Tell us where Skywalker is, you will."
Obi-wan closed his eyes, they hadn't listened to anything he had said. "No," he would not betray Anakin. "He is living a new life, with no memory of his past." Looking at the two Jedi Masters, Obi-wan shook his head. "I won't jeopardize his future." It was going to be bad enough if he regained his memory, Anakin didn't need the added stress of being the Jedi's prisoner as well. Master Windu folded his arms, "He needs to pay for his crimes."
"And dying and losing his memory isn't punishment enough?" Obi-wan stood, "He doesn't remember anything..." He closed his eyes as he remembered how Anakin had looked at him when he had first been 'brought back'... "He has no friends that he remembers, no idea where he belongs, he is lost." Looking from Yoda to master Windu, Obi-wan folded his arms. "We should be helping him, not 'punishing' him."
"He has no memory, but instinctively reaches for the Force," Master Windu shook his head, "How easy would it be for Palpatine to find him? To turn him again?"
"How easy would it be?" Obi-wan looked at them incredulously, "It would be easier if we locked him up! Anakin would begin to hate us. He would think that we were his enemy. And Palpatine would use that to his advantage."
"Tell us where Skywalker is, you must."
"No," Obi-wan shook his head, "Anakin needs peace." He needed to regain his trust in his friends. The last thing he needed was to be locked up and blamed for something he didn't even remember doing. Staring at the Jedi masters, Obi-wan shook his head. "Jedi are supposed to be compassionate," He reminded them, "instead of trying to help Anakin, you would lock him away, without reason, or explanation." That was not the Jedi way.
"Kill many Jedi, he did. Dangerous, he is." Master Yoda warned. Obi-wan had had enough, he didn't know what to say to convince them. They were too blind to see what was right in front of them.
"I'm sorry you feel that way." With that said, he left the room. He was going to be there for his brother whether the Council liked it or not.

Ahsoka had left Padme and Anakin alone in order to go rest. This seemed to make Anakin feel odd. He was comfortable but at the same time, he was uncomfortable. Plenty of times, he had glanced at Padme... noticing her beauty. But even though she was familiar to him, he could not remember why.
"How do we know each other?"
"I told you Ani," Padme smiled at him, "we're friends." She saw his frustrated frown, and smiled, "We met many years ago, on Tatooine where you lived with your Mother." She told him, "We needed help getting parts for our ship and you helped us." Smiling at the memories, Padme chuckled. "When you first saw me, you asked if I was an angel."
"What?" Anakin looked at her stunned.
"That was my reaction," Padme said, grinning. "Then you told me that angels were the most beautiful creature in the whole universe."
"How did I help you?" Anakin asked, subconsciously moving closer to Padme.
"You entered a pod race using a racer that you had built, and won." She didn't tell him that it was the only time he had won, smiling she reached out tentatively to take his hand. "You were also a slave then, but Master Qui-gon freed you." Anakin frowned as he thought over her words.
"Is my mother still a slave?"
"Your mother was freed as well," Padme told him, "after you left, she fell in love with a man named Cliegg Lars. He bought her, then freed her and married her."
"He sounds nice," Anakin smiled, "I'd like to see my mother too-"
"She's dead Ani," Padme swallowed as she forced the words out, wincing at the pain that flashed across Anakin's face. "I'm sorry," She sighed softly, "I helped you deal with your grief," She said gently. Anakin frowned again.
"Why?" He asked, "You say that we're 'friends', and I know it's true. But I also know that you're not telling me everything." Looking into her eyes, Anakin shook his head, "Who are you to me?"
She couldn't lie anymore, nor could she keep avoiding it. Slowly she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Ani, I'm your wife."
