Anakin,
Yes I have agreed to let you race. There seems to be no other way of getting your new friends off planet without you racing, and I trust Gui-Gon's opinion. This does not mean, however, that you can delibrately go and do something stupid on the track. I want... no, need you to be careful. Qui-Gon, Padme and Jar-Jar wouldn't want to see you take anymore risks than need be either, and I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to you.
I want you to promise me you'll be careful, ok? I don't want to loose you like that. No mother would.
You do seem absolutely head-over-heels about this girl, don't you? From what I remember hearing about Naboo, being a Handmaiden is a very high-up position, and is very important. She must have worked hard to become one! You definately seem positive that she is 'the one' for you. Does she know about this at all?
As for the whole 'feelings' thing, maybe it's one of those Jedi things. I've heard many stories about their powers, like how they can see into the future, move things with their minds and even make you do things you wouldn't normally do! I'm not sure I believe all of that, and even if they could, I don't think Qui-Gon would. Still, it is a bit freaky, don't you think?
Now, as for the whole 'father' topic, I would rather not talk about it. If I've been keeping things from you, that's because there is a very important reason, understand?
That whole thing with Qui-Gon checking you're blood for infections over a cut seems a bit strange I'll agree. I will have to ask him about that. Those pods are very dirty and greasy, but I don't think that warrents a blood sample.
Goodnight, Anakin, be careful tomorrow!
Shmi
