"Demetria, this is your new padawan learner, Ronoka, teach him all you know," Master Windu said as she smiled and walked the boy to where Obi-Wan was with Anakin.

"You know Anakin, I am suprised that you haven't gotten a padawan yet," Demi said and Obi-Wan laughed a bit but tried to hold it in.

"Well I don't want one, they hold you back," He said and Demi and Obi-Wan exchanged quick glances. "Well why didn't you get a padawna when you were my age?" He asked and Demi smiled.

"Because I was to busy trying to help you, remember?" She said laughing and Obi-Wan placed his hand on her back signinling that he was supressing his own laughter.

"Laugh all you want, but I am glad I don't have a padawan," He said and they both had smug look on their faces becasue they knew that he was lying.

"I can't believe Anakin got a padawan," Demi said over the holophone to Obi-Wan.

"Well beleve it, we could use a little help here if you don't mind, you and Ronoka can come and help us out a bit," He said and she nodded in agreement and she shut off the connection. She led her padawan to the ship and they headed off to help the others.

"Anakin, it is so good to see you again, this must be your new padawan," She said and he smiled.

"Demi, this is Asoka, Wait a second, Asoka are you and Ronoka related?" He asked her and she nodded.

"He's my brother," She said and Demi and Anakin exchanged glances then looked back to their padawans.

"That is so funny, because Demetria and I are brother and sister, how weired," he said and then looked to Demi "You planned this didn't you?" He asked her and she laughed a little before answerign

"I might have asked Master Yoda for a little favor," She said smiling and he shook his head as they all headed through the desert on Tatooween to return Jabba's son to him. Then they ran into a little trouble so they sent their Padawans off with Jabba's son and Anakin and Demi faught with Ducu once again. During the battle they started to worry about Asoka and Ronoka.

"Anakin, go help them I'll be fine," Demi said and he looked at her his face serious.

"Are you sure?" He asked and she frowned as she continued fighting.

"Yes just go," She said as he ran off and the battle continued. All of a sudden Ducu slipped in one of his tricks and was able to her his lightsaber and sever her arm all the way up to the middle of the top of her arm. She screamed and he force pushed her into a broken wall of an ancient buliding nearby. She hit her head and was out cold. He decided not to finish her as he ran off to try to stop Anakin before he got to Jabba. Unfortunatly for him he was to late and the Jedi beat him to Jabbas place.

It took about twenty minutes before Obi-Wan showed up and when he walked in he looked around and turned tio Anakin.

"Where's Demi?" He asked and Anakin shrugged.

"She's not with you, She never came back," He said and Obi-Wan rushed out of the room and ran outside, Anakin, Ronoka and Asoka soon folowed. They ran back to where they were originally fighting and saw Demi lying next to the wall not to far away. Obi-Wan rushed to her.

She began to wake when he lifeted her and pulled her onto his lap.

"Obi-Wan?" She asked weakly and he nodded tears starting to ream down his face as he saw what was left of ehr arm and the blood dripping from the wound in her head. withing moments his shirt had blood staines.

"Shh, it's alright, everything is going to be alright, I'm here now. You'r gonna be alright," He said as he heald the wound on her had and she moved slightly so that her ear was resting on his heart so she heard the sooth sound of his heartbeat and the calmness of his breathing whitch immediatly calmed her and she payed no attention to what was going on around her. "Anakin, call Master Yoda and Master windu, get a medical transport her immediatly. Ronoka try to find Master Demi's lightsaber and Asoka try to get ahold of Jabba's place see if they can get hear fast. We don't have much time." He said and they all walked off and he looked back down to Demi and said under his breath. "She dosen't have much time, hurry," He said as he rested his head on hers and held the wound tightly trying to get it to atleast stop bleeding. This moment reminded him of that moment so long ago when Qui-Gon was killed. So peaceful in such a desperate time. Then once again the sound of someone approching cut into the moment.

"Master Obi-Wan, They people from Jabba the Hutts place wil be here momentarally," Asoka said smiling and Obi-Wan looked over to Anakin who was fast approching.

"A medical transport will be here in fifteen to twenty minutes, Master's Yoda and Windu will be comming with it." Anakin said and Obi-Wan smiled.

"Master Obi-Wan, I found Master Demi's Lightsaber but i think Master Anakin might want to go get it because I can't" Ronoka said as he walked up.

"Why?" Obi-Wan simply asked.

"Because the arm is still attached to it," He said as Asoka walked off to get it motioning for Anakin to stay eith Demi and calling her brother names under her breath as she walked away. Then he heard people comming in the distance.

"You hear that Demi, Everything's gonna be alright, You're gonna be alright, just hang in there," He said and Demi just stayed there with her head on his cheast while the people came and seconds later teh transport followed. Demi was taken to the Hutts place for bandaging and then Obi-Wan carried her to the transport to be taken back to Coursaunt to be taken care of.
