Chapter 10- Upendi

Anakin and Padme were lying on their backs, watching the stars. They both giggled as they pointed at funny things in the stars.

"See that? See that?" Anakin asked pointing to one set of stars. "Look at that! It's really pretty."

Like you, he thought. Wait, what? No, Ani. No.

"What? Oh, yeah," Padme said. "Look…there's one that looks like a baby rabbit. See the fluffy tail?"

"Yeah… hey! There's one that looks like two Jedi killing each other for a scrap of meat!"

Anakin laughed, this wasn't Padme's cup of tea, and she grimaced.

"Ah, I've never done this before,' Anakin said.

"Really? My father and I used to do this all the time," Padme said. "He says all the great kings and Jedi of the past are up there."

"You think Dooku is up there?" Anakin said.

They looked at each other. Anakin got up and moved off.

"No one here thinks he's very great…do they? He wasn't my father, but he was still…" Anakin sighed gently. "part of me."

"My father said there was a… a darkness in Dooku that he couldn't escape," She said, sitting up.

"Maybe there's darkness in me too," he said.

Padme stood and walked over to him. She grabbed his hand and he pulled her into a hug, and they held each other.


Obi-wan stood watching from a hill some distance away. He addressed the sky.

"Father…I am lost," Obi-wan said to the sky. "Anakin is one of them. Dooku's heir. How can I accept him?"

Satine approached from behind him.

"Obi?" Satine said.

"I was…seeking council from the Great Kings."

"Did they help?' Satine asked.

Obi-wan sighed. "Silent as stars. My father would never…"

"Oh, Obi…you want so much to walk the path expected of you," she said. "Perhaps Anakin does not."

"What?" he asked surprised. "How do you know what…"

Satine chuckled. "I can see them down there just as easily as you can. Get to know him and see."

Satine kissed his cheek then turned and walked off a moment of hesitation, Obi-wan followed.


Padme, still in Anakin's arms, kissed him on the cheek, but he pulled away clearing his throat.

"What's wrong?" Padme asked.

"Nothing,' Anakin said. (Typical Anakin line)

"Anakin…" Padme said.

"It's just that… my whole life I've been trained to…" he stopped. "Nothing. I got to go." He turned and walked off.

"Anakin- - wait," Padme said.

Anakin paused a moment, and looked back at Padme's face, staring back at him. He looked away and moved to continue, but was stopped by Yoda's gimer stick pointing up from the grass.

"And going where are you?" Yoda said.'

"Nuhh…nowhere," Anakin lied.

Yoda sprung up. "What you think, that is?"

Yoda slipped under Anakin and vanished in the grass.

"Who was that?" Anakin asked confused.

"Uh," Padme said amused, slightly apologetic. "Friend of the family."

Anakin looked back and found Yoda on his shoulders. Yoda slipped off and darted away, tugging Anakin's legging and laughing.

"Come on!" Yoda said. "Follow old Yoda you will, know the way he does!"

"The way where?" Anakin asked hesitating.

"You follow—see you will! Hurry now!"

"Anakin, c'mon!" Padme said giggling.

The Jedi ran after Yoda, who was swinging Tarzan-like from tree to tree and laughing eerily.

"Where is he taking us?" Anakin asked.

Yoda lowered himself from above their heads.

"To your hearts, a special place…called upendi."


After the extremely weird vision Yoda had showed them. Padme and Anakin headed back to the city. They were still singing "In Upendi" all the way back. They finally got back after the long walk home.

"Good night," Anakin said.

"Good night," Padme said.

Padme walked off into the palace and Anakin headed to his chair on the back patio. Obi-wan appeared from the back door and approached Anakin.

"It's…kinda cold tonight, huh?" Obi-wan said pulling his cloak closer around him. "Come on."

Anakin followed Obi-wan inside, and Obi-wan lead him to the guest room, where he was going to stay that night.


Ventress watched from a distance through a pair of binoculars as the two Jedi made their way back into the palace.

"Get him!" Ventress said to herself, hushed. "What are you waiting for? Anakin, get him!"

She knelt down and stared in despair as she realized Anakin is not going to attack Obi-wan. She hissed and jumped up, rushing back to report to Mother Talzin.


"You're sure?" Mother Talzin said snarling.

"Affirmative," Ventress said. "I saw it with my own eyes."

"Anakin cannot betray us!" Talzin said.

She slammed her fist on the table in pure anger. The whole living room fell silent.


Wow she is not happy and now you may go on ahead and read the next story! ENJOY IT!
