The blaring sun was midway up on Coruscant's skies when finally Obi-Wan awakened. It was unusually for him to wake up so late. His usual routine was to wake up at the crack of dawn and then wake up his padawan. It then lead to dodging various objects being force thrown at him by a still sleepy padawan. Obi-Wan never bothered to tell his padawan to stop such behavior since it was good training and it did wake him up. After that little activity he would then shower and make tea.

However, today, he awoke with the sun burning his eyes. The loud screeching of the comm system alerted to him he did something wrong. He checked the comm and was aghast that he was summoned to a council meeting. His worry increased ten fold when he realized that he was late.

OH, KRIFFING FORCE!

In a blur of motion he got up, showered, dressed and ran out of his room. His senses already told him that Anakin wasn't in his room. The part of his brain that was awake already concluded that his padawan was already waiting for him and that this was revenge for the extra meditation. He never really listened to this part of his brain, it was the 'wild' side of him.

In record time, Obi-Wan got to the council room without crashing into initiate groups or bowling over Jedi. He entered and was embarrassed that the whole council was waiting him. Mace had this intense look on his face and a disapproving air. The others weren't as judging or as readably as Mace but had their own opinions. The worst was Yoda, Obi-Wan were sure the old wrinkled troll was laughing at him.

"Masters." He bowed, his wind swept hair flopped over his eyes. He had a look of a fluffy puppy. He heard a giggle.

"You are late Master Kenobi." Stated Mace. The dark skinned man had a stern expression on his face, sterner than usual.

"I apologize for my lateness,...um...did my padawan come by?" It was then that his brain noticed his padawan wasn't in the council room. He was positive his cheeks were a nice rosy red.

"Lost your padawan, have you?" Yoda smiled kindly at the distressed master. "Need not worry, at Tatooine he is."

"Tatooine?" Obi-Wan blinked. Why would Anakin be at Tatooine? His confusion was evident on his face and in the Force.

"A personal matter he had. Left with approval he did." Yoda answered his silent question.

"He left with your approval, not with council." Mace was positively frowning at Yoda. "This matter should have been brought up and decided by the whole council. He is the Chosen One, he has to be supervised."

"You do not trust MY padawan?" There was a steel underlining in his innocent question.

"He is reckless, emotional, and arrogant. Many times his arrogance had led to complications and danger. He needs more guidance and supervision. He had power but not control." Mace leaned forward and scowled.

"You did not answer my question." Obi-Wan had a stormy face, his eyes held a dangerous glint.

"No, I do not trust him, fully. He has yet to earn my trust." Mace had chosen his decision and stood by it.

"You may not trust him, but I do. I trust him with my life." He did trust Anakin with his life, Anakin may be a bit reckless but his heart was in the right place.

"Master Kenobi, You--" Yoda interrupted with a banging of his grimer stick.

"Bicker too much we do, like the senate are. Soon, stuck we will be in endless debate." Yoda interrupted. "Like children you are acting." He pointed his grimer stick at the two masters.

"I apologize Master Yoda. Master Kenobi I apologize for criticizing your padawan. I was out of place." Mace bowed his shaved dome in apology.

"I too apologize; I shouldn't have goaded you in the matter." He wasn't sorry, they may have been friends but one does not insult another's padawan.

"Kiss up you should, good ending they are in romance halos." Yoda cackled gleefully. The council member stared at him, each with the same thought. He has grown senile.

"Senile old coot." Depa muttered the comment under her breath.

"Heard that I did." Unfortunately Yoda's long ears had caught her comment. "Glad I am that volunteered you did for fresher duties."

Depa's low moan resonated in the silent council room. Again everyone's thought were the same.

Better you than me.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

He scowled when he exited hyperspace. The planet of his birth held nasty memories and personally he would never come back. But his mother was still here, and she needed his help. His personal demons were swept aside so he could save her.

With a groan, Anakin jettisoned the hyperspace booster ring into orbit. The plan would be to land at the Mos Epa spaceport and visit Watto. From there he would check on his mother. He hoped that his vision was wrong. Maybe it was an overzealous way of the force telling him to see his mother. If his vision was right, he would torment and destroy all who try to hurt his mother.

Tattoine was as hot and as dusty as he had remembered it. It was like a huge kitty liter box, or a child's sand box. Neither description was good, nor did they did the planet justice. It was the people who played in the sand box that made it hell.

The population ranged from good people to the bad people. Generally the scale was heavily tilted the other way.

When he got to Watto's shop he couldn't find anyone there. It appeared Watto couldn't find anymore 'hired help' and had to maintain the shop himself. Probably out doing an errand.

With a sigh, Anakin trudged towards the Slave Quarters. Maybe he could find someone who would know something, time was of the essence. As he wandered around a feeling in the Force pulled him towards a pair of people trying to fix a speeder.

A tall deeply tanned and dark-haired human and a Rodian were trying to futiley fix the engines. There was something about them that was important but he couldn't remember.

" Dowanga!" The Rodian cursed softly in Huttese, and threw his tools onto the floor. He was obliviously upset. The Human picked the tools up and tried to encourage him.

"It's okay, Wald, I'm sure we're almost finished." The human banged the speeder and frowned.

No way. Anakin gaped. It was his old friends during his childhood. It was Kister and Wald. They grew up and looked older. They also looked like they were in a bit of trouble. Maybe he could help them and in turn get help in finding his mom.

Anakin walked towards the pair. "Chut chut, Wald, Kister." The two blinked at him in surprise.

"(Here, let me do it,)" Anakin snagged the tool out of the shocked Rodian's hand and started repairing the speeder.

The two snapped out of their stupor. "(What?)" Wald was first to recover. The alien's eyes spotted Anakin's lightsaber and awe was on his face. "(You're a Jedi! Wizard.)" Anakin smiled faintly, was he ever like this as a child?

"( Yeah, Don't you guys remember me?)" Anakin said rather dryly, he didn't change that much.

Kister blinked and promptly stared at Anakin. "Ani?" Kister choked out, " Shorty Ani?"

Anakin scowled at that, he wasn't that short. With a final twist he fixed the engine, the speeder should be as good as new.

"It's you," Kister said mouth gaping. " By the stars, you're really tall and a Jedi?"

Anakin nodded. "Do you guys know what happened to my mother?"

"Your mom? I think she's free."

"Free?" Anakin was now the person who was gaping. He's mom is free, she's FREE!

("Yeah, Watto sold her to a moisture farmer named Lars. When he freed her, he also married her.") Wald continued.

"Do you know where they are now?" Anakin could barely stop himself from jumping in joy.

Kister scrunched his face up in concentration. "Someplace on the other side of Mos Eisley." His face light up and he went to the speeder. After a few agonizing minutes he took out a datapad.

"Your mother invited me to the wedding and it has the location right here." Kister gave the datapad to Anakin. " It was a nice wedding, wish you came."

Anakin took the datapad slowly with trembling hands. His mother had a wedding and he wasn't there to see it. What kind of son was he?

"Thanks," Anakin didn't trust his mouth and kept his words short. "Maybe you'll visit more often, Ani?" Kister and Wald waved.

Anakin waved back and purposefully sent towards the spaceport. A quick jaunt with the fighter and he would be at the farm before the two suns went down.

stay tuned...for the next segment.
