PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THIS AUTHOR'S NOTE!
Author's Note: Don't you just love how I'm updating so often now! I know I do. It makes me feel like such a good person! Ok since this is my last update on this story I just want to say that I now will have an updating schedule planned out. My next story will be updating every Thursday with no exceptions you can always expect it on a Thursday. I will also post the story on a Thursday so look for it. I think that will be a good system. Oh and I almost forgot there actually is one exception. If I write a chapter that ends on a cliffhanger the next chapter will be up two days after the cliffhanger was posted, the cliffhanger is distinguished by me at the end of the chapter. I hate it when authors leave a cliffhanger at the end of a chapter and you have to wait a whole week for them to post the next chapter. I am a nice person. I will never leave you hanging like that, I think its mean and I don't want people yelling at me in their reviews. Ok I think that covers it all. The summary of my next story will be at the end of this epilogue along with thank yous. Miss Pippin OUT!
Obi-Wan parked his speeder outside Anakin and Padme's apartment. It was the 25th anniversary since they convinced the council to change the marriage rule, and they had planned a big party for all married couples of the Jedi.
Since then Anakin and Padme had several more children, five in fact. Padme found out she was pregnant again two years after she had Luke and Leia. Nine months later they had a boy named Jinn Ben Skywalker. Three years after Jinn again Padme had another daughter who they named Shmi Ahsoka Skywalker, and a year later Rayan Tom Skywalker was brought into the world.
Obi-Wan and Siri had been busy as well. After Siri gave birth to Addison (Adi) Cerasi Kenobi, she had two more children a boy and a girl, Owen Anakin Kenobi and Quinlan Padme Kenobi the twins of the family. Today they were all successful knights.
"Well Obi-Wan it seems you've finally decided to grace us with your presence." Anakin announced from across the yard while playing with his grandson Ben. Luke had married a fellow Jedi Mara Jade just two years ago, and not long after Ben came along. Leia wasn't far behind him. She had married Han Solo and they had Jaina and Jacen not long afterward.
"Well I apologize for parking the car so my wife didn't have to walk." While Obi-Wan might have grown older and wiser he hadn't lost his sarcasm.
"Stop it you two!" Padme admonished "We need to be professional, we'll be having guests."
"Haven't you learned by now Padme that Anakin can't be professional?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Hey I can be professional!" Anakin said.
"Oh really? Prove it!" Obi-Wan challenged.
"Fine I will. I'll be professional throughout the whole meeting."
"I doubt that's possible." Siri said. "In fact I bet you 20 credits that you can't do it!" Siri walked over.
"I'll take that bet Master Tachi." Anakin said. "You all forget that I always win every bet!"
"You didn't win the bet we had last week abo-" Obi-Wan started but before he could say anything more, Anakin walked pasted him cutting him off by saying:
"Kit Fisto so nice of you to come!" They started a nice conversation about the mission they had recently undertaken and the success they had.
"What was your bet last week?" Siri asked.
"That he could be professional in front of the council for a whole week, he cracked the second day. I earned 30 credits off of it."
"Nice! That improves my chance of 20 credits!" Siri said excited. Soon everyone from the old days, even those who had passed into the force like Adi Gallia, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Tahl. This was when Obi-Wan got up to give his speech.
"Fellow Jedi," he started out, "As you well know it is exactly 25 years ago that the council decided to let Jedi marry. This is a momentous moment in Jedi history as it allowed love to enter into the Jedi lives." Obi-Wan continued with the well known story of how the friendly competition started. "And finally the council granted our request, and I am proud to be standing here with my wife as both a Jedi and a loyal husband." He ended the speech and humbly got down from the podium to join his wife at the bottom.
"Great speech buddy, I love your last statement!" Anakin said.
"Thank you Anakin, but you know I couldn't have done this without you. In fact-" he would have continued if it hadn't been for the fact that Anakin covered his mouth and said:
"Yeah yeah yeah we all know you'd be lost without me!" He said.
"Yes that's 20 credits in my pocket." Siri said from behind Anakin. "Thanks Obi-Wan!"
"Hey that was not unprofessional!" Anakin argued.
"Oh sure placing your hand over my mouth was totally professional!"
"Well I don't think it should count. You set me up!" Anakin protested.
"Siri did Anakin say anything about not setting him up when you shook on the bet?" Obi-Wan asked his wife.
"Why I don't believe he did!" Siri said with feigned shock.
"Well I guess that means you owe Master Tachi 20 credits Anakin." The couple shared a high-five.
"You guys are unfair!" Anakin said as he got 20 credits out for Siri.
"Thank you very much kind sir!" Siri said in a courisconti accent.
"Whatever." Anakin said walking off. Obi-Wan and Siri grabbed some food before sitting down on Padme's couch.
"Wow just think if we hadn't convinced the council to change the rule." Obi-Wan stated.
"I know you wonder what would have happened." Siri said.
"Well I doubt any of us would have turned to the dark side." Obi-Wan said with a grin.
"Well I guess we would have been expelled from the Jedi order." Siri said.
"I'm glad we weren't. I think it's so much better to balance both."
"I agree." With that the couple stood and hand and hand watched the sunset from at Padme's window happy with what their destiny had turned out to be.
Author's Note: Well how's that for an ending? I liked it. I can just see that happening like it did at the end of The Attack of the Clones when it showed Anakin and Padme watching the sunset after their marriage. Ok so I just want to say thank you to all the reviews that I received while writing this fic. You guys are great and I want to let all those who reviewed that I can't PM that you guys ROCK! Just wanted to let you know that your reviews didn't go unnoticed by me. Ok here's the summary of my next story Stray Bullet: When an attack is made on the Senate, Anakin rushes to save his wife with Obi-Wan close on his heels. What happens when a stray bullet makes its way toward Padme and Anakin is too far away to help? Again hope you enjoyed the story and I hope you'll like my next story although I have to warn you, it's full of Anakin angst. Love you guys! Miss Pippin OUT!
