Anakin walked into Mos Eisley after Owen had dropped him off, neither one of them said anything during the trip to Mos Eisley, once there however; Owen felt the need to speak.
"Who is Qui-Gon Jinn? Why were you talking to his shade?" Owen asked.
"Qui-Gon was the Jedi who took me from Tattoine," Anakin said.
"What was he doing on Tattoine?" Owen asked.
"It's a long story Owen, and I'd love to tell you about it, but I really don't have time right now. When I get back I'll answer everyone's questions about this," Anakin said.
"You really believe what the vision said?" Owen asked.
"Yes, I do, try to get Padmé to understand that, please?" Anakin asked.
"How can I explain it when I don't understand it," Owen said.
"I don't know," Anakin said and was off.
Anakin walked into the city, and headed for the nearest battle droid. He stopped in front of the droid and said, "I am Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi you are looking for," Anakin said.
"Come with me," the droid said and led Anakin away.
Anakin followed the droid to a hanger in the city and placed on a shuttle that took him up to one of the many capital ships in orbit around Tattoine. He then realized that the Republic was in a load of trouble if the Seps could put together a fleet of this size and send it to a backwater like Tattoine. He also was not pleased to see not a single class of ship he recognized, they were obviously new. Once the shuttle landed on the ship, the droids took Anakin to a cell.
"Where am I being taken?" Anakin asked.
"To General Grievous," the droid answered.
General Grievous wasn't pleased to being summoned to contact Lord Sidious, but he so wanted to learn more of the Sith techniques he swallowed his pride and did so.
"What can I do for you, my Lord," Grievous asked once the communication was established.
"You are holding Jedi's Kenobi and Skywalker, are you not, General?" Sidious asked.
Grievous was shocked, he had only received word that Skywalker had been captured, how could Sidious know already? He soon realized that his shock would be obvious to a new born mynock and started to speak, but Sidious spoke first.
"I know your thoughts General, do not underestimate my power, few who make that error in judgment live to learn from the mistake," Sidious said.
"Yes, my lord," Grievous said.
"I was angry with you for a time, General, however I have realized that you have done me a great service. Bring both Kenobi and Skywalker to the Arrivak system," Sidious said.
"As you command, my lord," Grievous said, giving the only answer he could.
Obi-Wan was meditating when his cell door opened and Anakin was shoved inside by a droid.
"Anakin! Where in the stars have you been?" Obi-Wan said.
"Master, I'm glad to see you," Anakin said, breaking into a huge grin.
"I'm glad to see you too, however I wish the circumstances were different, and you haven't answered my question yet, and why in the blazes are you wearing that old thing?" Obi-Wan said seeing Anakin's padawan braid for the first time.
"I have been completing my trials, Master," Anakin said.
"You have? And who is supervising them?" Obi-Wan said, sounding a little hurt.
"You would not believe me if I told you, Master," Anakin said.
"Try me," Obi-Wan said.
"Qui-Gon Jinn," Anakin said.
"Anakin, if that is a joke, it is in extremely poor taste," Obi-Wan started then looked into Anakin's eyes, "You aren't joking, are you."
"I would never joke about Qui-Gon, Master," Anakin said.
"How is this possible?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I don't know, Master, but it has happened," Anakin said.
"Which trial are you doing now?" Obi-Wan asked.
"The trial of courage," Anakin said.
"And the specifics of the trial?" Obi Wan asked.
"I have to stand by while one I care for is in potent ional mortal peril," Anakin said.
"Who is this person, and what is the nature of the peril?" Obi-Wan asked.
"My wife, there is a chance she will die in childbirth," Anakin said.
