I know I've been gone for over a year. I truly have no excuse except that life happened and there's no use crying over it. I wanted to explore a possible area where Consuela and Anakin met before Anakin's Angel started. Also I have some questions that I want you guys to answer in the reviews. I'll let you know what they are at the end of the chapter.
Summary: Consuela's home world is being visited by two jedi. While the older one is interesting she bonds with the younger one.
Consuela's pov
I don't get why so many people are angry. I don't like that people are angry. Angry people attract my cousins and cause more problems than there already is. Mom says for me not to worry and to play with Korkie but I'm still uncomfortable.
"For the love of all that is holy! Lady Consuela it's almost noon and your mother wishes to see you!"
I looked up from my book to see personal maid/nanny Amber. Amber is a young woman with fire red hair and amber colored eyes.
"Why does my mother wish to see me Amber?" I asked.
"Remember the blockage Naboo received a few years ago?" I nodded, urging Amber to continue. "Well apparently there has been more of these instances happening over the years. The Republic was worried that other worlds were being affected as well, but hasn't said anything. They're sending two Jedi here to investigate and make sure your mother is not being targeted. Your mother wishes to see you before they arrive. Now before I lose my temper child go get dressed!"
I jumped up and threw on an elegant rose red shirt and black pants. After Amber sat me down to pull my long, dark curls into a bun before setting me free to run towards the throne room where my mom was waiting for me.
All doors are closed to the throne room and at least two guards stood at every entrance. That could only mean important and/or off world guests are in the throne room with Mom.
The guards noticed me right away and gave a small bow. "Lady Consuela." Silently they opened the doors for me and I walked in to see a man about Mom's age and a teenage boy about fourteen years old, four years older than me. Obviously they were the Jedi sent here to investigate just by the way their dressed and the lightsabers attached to their belts.
The older man had a light skin tone and auburn hair. His eyes were a blue-gray and they held a sense of diplomacy in them. His face in general was intriguing and he had beard starting to grow in.
The younger of the two has blonde hair, which looks like it's beginning to turn brown, cropped short except for a braid that hangs over his shoulder. His eyes are the same color of blue as the sky on a cloudless day. He seems more light hearted than the man he stands next to.
"Duchess Satine," the man greeted Mom.
Mom smiled, like she was looking at an old love. "Hello Obi-wan. I see we've graduated from student to master since I last saw you."
The man, Obi-wan, smiled back at Mom. "Indeed I have my lady. This is my padawan Anakin Skywalker." Obi-wan gestures to the boy.
"Hello Duchess." Anakin bows.
Mom gave a chuckle. "Good day Anakin."
"Duchess, I assume you know why we're here?"
Mom nodded at Obi-wan's question. "Indeed I do. I can assure you though that we've never been once targeted by the Trade Federation."
"In any case we are to investigate just to make sure Mandalore not to be targeted in the future. It's sad to say but with all the change and reform going on it would be an easy target," Obi-wan said. "While we are here Anakin and I will also have guard watch over you."
"You mean you will have guard watch over me and my daughter."
This comment through Obi-wan off, and dare I say it he almost looked hurt. "Your daughter?"
Mom nodded. "Yes, she is right behind you."
Obi-wan and Anakin spun around to face me. They just stared like a bunch of weirdos, it's making me uncomfortable. Anakin looked shocked while the hurt in Obi-wan's eyes only grows.
Mom got up from her throne and walked behind me, placing her hands on my shoulders. "Master Kenobi, Padawan Skywalker, this is my adopted daughter, Consuela Kyrze."
Was it me or did the hurt in Obi-wan's eyes suddenly disappear.
"Hello," I whispered, mainly because their stares were creeping me out.
Obi-wan smiled and bent down so he was eye level with me. "It's very nice to meet you Lady Consuela." He shook my hand and I let out a giggle.
"Anakin, I want you to watch over Lady Consuela while we're here," Obi-wan called over his shoulder.
"Yes Master," Anakin said. I could've sworn I heard him say something about babysitting though.
"Consuela, why don't you take Anakin somewhere and have some fun," Mom whispered in my ear.
Having fun, that sounded nice. Obi-wan looked like he could take care of Mom and I could always ditch the Padawan if I sense my cousins coming near Mom. With a grin I grabbed Anakin's hand and dashed off outside.
"Hey will you slow down!" Anakin exclaimed as he had trouble getting his footing.
"But there's somewhere I really want to go," I laughed.
Eventually we made it, the Conservatory. It's a small building with glass windows all around it and a dome shaped roof. Inside are all types of plants and trees with one area that had a few couches and a coffee table.
"What is this place?" Anakin asked.
"My conservatory. Mom had it built for my ninth birthday when I asked her to bring a little nature here," I replied. Still holding onto Anakin's wrist I drag him over to one of the sofas and we sit down.
"So what do you like to do?" I asked, trying to get a conversation going.
Anakin shrugged. "I like to build things with spare junk I find, and flying."
"So you're a robotic dork." I smiled at Anakin's priceless face.
"I am not a dork!"
I laughed. "Yes you are! You're Skydork!"
Anakin glared at me. "So what do you like to do then?"
"Read, spar, and make constellations out the stars."
"Make constellations?" Anakin raised an eyebrow.
I nodded. "Yeah, I'll show you when it gets dark out. For now, you're it!" I jumped up and started running.
"Hey!" Skydork soon followed after.
I make a turn and loose him. I had to hold back a giggle, I will so win this game.
Well I thought that until I'm lifted up into the air and brought face to face with Skydork.
He grinned and tapped me on the nose. "You're it." Then he dropped me on my behind.
"Hey that's cheating!" I yelled.
Skydork grinned. "No it's not, we never set any rules." He took off before the last word was out of his mouth.
That's how are day was spent, playing tag around the conservatory. My knowledge of where everything was helped me and Skydork's force abilities helped him. By the time we calmed down it was night. I grinned and flopped on my back.
"What are you doing?" Skydork raised an eyebrow.
"Making constellations. Look there's smiley face!" I pointed at bunch of stars that made up the said smiley face.
Anakin looks up and then joins me on the ground. "Wow, I've never done this before. Hey look that one look those stars make the shape of a star." Anakin points to the left of the smiley face and indeed there is a star made of stars.
"Hey Skydork," I said after a moment of silence.
Skydork groans. "Are you ever going to stop calling me that?"
I grinned. "No. Anyway, why was your master sad about me before he learned I was adopted?"
Anakin shrugged. "I'm not sure, but I think Obi-wan likes the Duchess."
I looked at him. "Do you mean like-like?"
Anakin nodded. "Yes, they knew each other from before too."
That caught my attention. I bolted up. "I think Mom likes-like Master Kenobi. She used to tell me stories of before she was a Duchess and of a boy that she would get starry eyed over if she even just thinks about him."
Anakin grinned as he sat up. "You know what this means don't you Consuela?"
"We get my mom and your master to admit they like each other."
"We're going to be cupids in the making!" Anakin laughed.
I joined in on the laughter. "Yes we are!"
Okay end of chapter. Next one I'm probably going to have them do their matchmaking. If you have ideas for that I'm open to listening. Also still always taking requests. Just might take a while to do them.
Now for my questions. Let's say hypothetically I wanted to rewrite Anakin's Angel. Would you guys have any suggestions? Obviously the chapters would probably be longer and I would probably dive more into that world. But other things that you might want to see like I'm going to change Consuela's role as her mother's advisor to an ambassador and I'm not feeling the glow I gave them so I was thinking of taking that away. Let me guys know of any ideas that I might be able to include.
