Anakin,

Don't worry about me, I'm just so glad that you're free to live your own life. I couldn't ask for anything more than that.

I'm sure the Jedi Council will be kind to you. After all, they're Jedi, aren't they? I hope you will be on your best behaviour for them, especially with the Jedi giving you your freedom and all. What's it like over in the Jedi Temple? I've always been very curious about that. It's meant to be a stunning place of peace and serenity.

I heard about Obi-Wan from Qui-Gon. I'm sure he'll warm up to you soon enough, he's probably worried about getting the Queen to safety.

I'm glad to hear you've been listening to Qui-Gon, and don't give poor Sabe too much trouble! And no, I have never seen Coruscant before, but it sounds amazing. I could never picture anything that huge and crowded before! It must be amazing.

So you saw the man from your dreams? I'm sure that's all it was: A dream and nothing to be scared about. But if your still feel worried, avoiding him probably is the best policy. I wonder who he is exactly?

I'm glad you like the Republic Ani, and I'm so happy that Qui-Gon's going to try and free the slaves. Just so you know, diplomacy means to try and find a solution by talking, not fighting.

Thank you Ani. I miss you so much, my son.

I'm sure the Council will love you Anakin. What reason would they have not to? And what evil thing? I don't believe you filled me in on that one.

I'm relieved that the Queen will get the Senate to remove those invaders and help Naboo. What's happening over there sounds so terrible.

I told Kitster and Amy they could stay with me whenever they wanted like you asked. They're so happy for you!

Today was a pretty good day. Watto had me working fairly hard. He's thinking of buying another slave to replace you, but he doesn't have the money. For now he's settling with droids to help with the shop. Unfortunately for him, one of them malfunctioned and went on a rampage in the store. It smashed almost everything in there, including the other droids! It even got a few hits at Watto before he finally managed to destroy it! If the situation wasn't so serious I would have laughed out loud. Because of that, I got to go home early so he could complain to the person who sold him the droid about shotty merchandice.

I have to go now, son. I love you.

Shmi
