Chapter 1: A Second Chance
boom* lights flashing, dizzy and disoriented, Anakin wakes up on a bench in a subway station in New York City. He looks around and sees a woman standing right near him "Where am I" Anakin responds.
"You are in New York City sweetie." The random woman replied.
"Okay" said Anakin still confused. He still had no clue where he was and he had to figure out how to get out of here. "how do I get out of here."
The woman smirking a little bit says "Turn around take a left, go up the stairs and you will be outside."
"Thank You", said Anakin. "By the way what is your name."
"My name is Luminara, what is yours."
"Mine is Anakin."
Luminara smiles and said, "Nice to meet you Anakin."
Anakin says, "nice to meet you as well, but I better go get out of here because I need some fresh air."
When Anakin finally got outside he is astonished and overwhelmed by the many tall buildings and the number of people passing by. To him it felt a lot like Coruscant. He looked at a clothing store window and saw a reflection of himself. He saw that he was his 23yr old self in his jedi robes and he smiled widely, "No kriffing way."
His stomach growled so loud. "Damn I'm kinda hungry there should be some place I can fulfill my hunger."
Anakin walks around the city a little bit till he finds a small little stand on the sidewalk. It had a sign best hotdogs in NYC. Anakin walked up to the person and asks "1 hotdog please."
"That would be $2.50 pal", said the man.
Anakin instinctively gave the man republic credits he found in his jedi robe.
The man yells out in frustration, " WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING PAL, TRYING TO BUY A HOTDOG WITH SOME TOY COINS, GET YO ASS OUTTA HERE."
This altercation caused a crowd of people to form around Anakin. They all started murmuring to one other and they pulled out weird devices which were pointing at Anakin.
Anakin still confused said "what is a dollar, won't credits do fine" This caused an outburst of laughs and roasts which were directed towards him. Anakin grew red in embarrassement and ran into a alley.
He than sat down on the concrete and leaned his back against a dumpster. He started to cry because he felt like he didn't belong in this world and said, "why am I here" everyone looks at me, like I am an alien, how am I supposed to know what a dollar is. Then a group of thugs enter the alley seeing Anakin sitting there.
"Hey Rico we should give this idiot, a welcome to the city haha." said the thug
Anakin looked up at the men teary eyed and said "sorry man but I don't wanna talk right now."
The thugs approached him even closer and were clenching their fists, "Fine then gringo, you ain't gonna talk puto, then we will make you talk."
Anakin stands up in desperation for his life and said, "Look I dont wanna hurt you but if you want a fight you will get a fight."
Then the thugs attempt to attack Anakin. But what the thugs dont know is that Anakin is a different kind of animal. He remembers all the moves he learned as a jedi, from the skill with his lightsaber, to the force, and hand to hand combat. He rushed the thugs and started taking them down one by one with ease.
A group of people heard the fighting and looked into the alley to see the brawl ensuing. They again pulled out weird devices and started filming. This prompted a small group of people to turn into a crowd. People started yelling, "Aye WorldStar."
Anakin quickly took out the thugs and turned to see a huge crowd staring and yelling at him. Anakin saw this and grew super embarrassed. He knew he couldnt be here anymore. His survival instincts kicked in and he ran away into another alley. He quickly exits that alley and finds his way on the main road. He frantically is running and looking around to see somewhere he can ride and hide in. He then saw it. It was a small nearly empty place that was named "Cafe Bistro." Anakin quickly ran into the place.
*he enters the coffee shop*
"Thank God there is barely anyone in here", Anakin thought to himself in relief. He was panting and sweating very badly. He quickly found a table by the window and began to cry uncontrollably. He felt like a loser, loner. He didnt like being an outcast or alien. All he wants to do is go back to his old life. "Why am I here." Anakin thought to himself.
A man approached Anakin. He saw that Anakin was crying uncontrollably and decided to comfort him. "Are You Okay", said a man.
Anakin looked up the man quickly trying to avoid eye contact, "No not really."
"Is it okay if I sit here and we can talk." said the man
Anakin looks at the man, contemplating if he should let him sit there, but doesn't want to be mean so he says "sure."
Obi-Wan sits down and looks at Anakin and says, "My name is Obi-Wan and yours is."
Anakin then responded quietly, "Uhhh Anakin."
Obi Wan worriedly looked at Anakin and said "Whats wrong man. I saw you crying. You look very distressed."
Anakin ran his hands through his hair tightly. He didnt know what to say. He knew this man wouldnt believe him id he told the truth. But it doesnt hurt to try. Anakin sighed and said, "Well I don't know where I am, I died somewhere else and then woke up here."
Obi-Wan looked at him confusingly and slighly grinned, "Are you on drugs sir."
Anakin confused, "what are drugs."
Obi Wan responded, "Do you have a family or something."
Anakin pleaded, "No but you need to help me. I dont know anything and everyone is making fun of me because I don't know anything."
Obi Wan skeptical said, "Fine, you know what, you can come to my apartment and crash for the night. I have a couch you can rest on for a bit till you get yourself situated here."
Anakin filled with joy said, "THANK YOU SO MUCH, you are my first true friend."
Obi Wan said, "surely I'm not your only friend.
"Unfortunately you are the only one." Anakin sighed sadly
"Well let me take you to my apartment and show you where you are going to be sleeping tonight." Obi-Wan smiled at Anakin warmly.
Obi Wan and Anakin got outside and Obi Wan signaled for a taxi to drive to his house 5 blocks down.
"Hello There, can you take me to 6th ave. Please." Obi-Wan said.
"Sure man no problem", said the driver.
As they were driving Obi wan was having a conversation with the driver about normal New York life. Anakin was too busy looking out the window and taking everything in. He started to shed tears because the city reminded him of Coruscant.
It was about a 30 minute drive till Anakin and Obi-Wan finally reached Obi-Wan's
apartment. Obi-Wan thanks and pays the driver. He and Anakin walked out of the cab and started heading towards the front door
Obi-Wan opens the door. Obi Wan and Anakin both enter.
"Nice apartment" Anakin said
"Thanks, please make yourself comfortable."
"Thank You Obi Wan"
Obi-Wan looked at Anakin and said, "Are you hungry at all."
Anakin smiled back and said, "Actually I kinda am."
"Ok, ill make some eggs." Obi-Wan said.
"Thank You, Obi-Wan." Anakin said warmly. He then proceeded to walk over to the couch and sat down in fatigue.
Anakin grabs the tv remote and starts browsing through channels. He keeps switching till he finds a big yellow dog shapeshifting and making pancakes
"what is this. it is very funny. How can a yellow dog stretch itself that big." Anakin said chuckling.
Obi Wan looks around the corner to see Anakin watching Adventure Time. He smiled widely and said to himself, "He is such a kid."
20 minutes later*
"Anakin, food is ready." Obi-Wan yells.
Anakin gets up from the couch and heads into the kitchen. He sits down at the table and says. "Oh Thank God, I was starving", Anakin said in relief and begins to devour his food.
When Obi Wan finally sits down Anakin is already finished with his food, "Well someone was hungry weren't they."
"Yeah sorry I just was really hungry it was a long day for me, I'm still trying to get used to this type of life." Anakin says.
Obi Wan looks at Anakin with interest and says, "What really happened to you to make you forget everything."
Anakin looks at Obi Wan and says "I don't know I barely remember anything at all. All I remember is how this place reminds me of a city called Coruscant."
Obi Wan looked at him and said, "Are you damaged mentally or no"
Anakin feeling a little pissed off fires back "There is nothing wrong with me, okay. I thought you were my friend but you keep asking all these questions."
"I'm sorry Anakin I was just trying to help. I just dont really understand where you are coming from. Thats why Im asking all these questions." Obi-Wan said in a guilty tone.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lash out at you like that. I'm just confused and frustrated."
Obi Wan finally finishes his food and says "You know what I think would make you feel better."
"What." Anakin said curiously and desperately.
"Im going to take you to a bar, and we are going to get drunk."
Anakin responds, " What is a bar."
Obi-Wan looks at him funny and says, "Well It is a place where people go to drink alcohol and have a good time.
"Oh so you mean a Cantina okay."
"Yeaahh Right whatever that is", said Obi Wan trying to hold in his laughter. "Well then let's get a move on."
Anakin and Obi Wan leaves the apartment and they walk for 8 minutes till they finally reach the bar. Anakin and Obi-Wan enter the bar and find a table for 2 near the left side of the building. They head over there and sit down
"I'm going to use the bathroom, I will be right back, said Obi Wan.
"Okay I will wait right here." Anakin said.
Obi-Wan then got up and headed to the men's restroom. Anakin glances around and sees a lot of young people in the bar. His face starts to blush up because usually the younger people were the ones who made fun of him the most.
"Padme, im going to go to the bathroom real quick."
"Heard you the first time Clovis", said Padme mockingly.
HEY DON'T YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT AGAIN, OR I WILL SLAP YOU, said Clovis angrily.
"Yes honey, im sorry." says Padme in a soft whimpering tone. Sabe and Sola came back from the restroom and saw their friend in distress.
"What happened Padme" said Sabe worryingly.
"Its Clovis, he is being a dick to me, I don't know if I can be his girlfriend anymore. He is so rude and abusive to me."
Sola put her hands on Padme's shoulders and said, "Well just break up with him."
Padme looked up at her friends teary eyed and choked on her words, "He said he will beat me up, if I did."
Sabe said defiantly, "Well fuck him. Who the hell does he think he is. If he ever lays his hands on you Padme, my knuckles are going to give a little visit to that big nose of his."
Padme and Sola laughed at Sabe's remark.
"Yeah you can count on us Padme. We will always be here for you.", said Sola.
Sabe quickly changed the subject and yelled at her friends, "Hey Look."
Padme and Sola are confused "What where."
Sabe pointed over to Anakin and said, "Over there, that guy sitting alone."
"Yeah what about him." said Padme.
Sabe said, "Are you kidding me Padme he is hot, looks way better than Clovis."
"I mean yeah, but im not ready to talk to him right now."
"Yeah well if you wont, I will glady." said Sabe in a flirtatious manner.
"Cut it out Sabe, we have to help Padme first. This is more important than that guy over there." said Sola.
Sabe sighed in disappointment and said, "Fine, but after I'm gonna go talk to him.
Obi Wan comes back from the bathroom and greets Anakin, "Hey are you doing ok Anakin."
"I'm doing fine Obi Wan but I'm not feeling any better right now."
"Hold on you will." says Obi-Wan. He then approaches the bartender and ask, "Excuse me, can you give me 2 shots of Jack Daniel's Whiskey."
The bartender nods and says, "Yeah coming right up."
Obi-Wan says, "Thank You." He then brings the 2 shots of whiskey back to where Anakin was sitting.
"Thank You." Anakin says. He then picks up the shot glass and sipped some of the alcohol down his throat. Anakin's starts to gag and spits the drink out. He looks at Obi-Wan and says, "That is supposed to make me feel better." Obi Wan smiled and said, "Trust me."
they both raise there glasses*
"To friendship" says Obi Wan.
Anakin repeats, "To friendship. Then they both chug down their shots.
Anakin starts to cough and says, "Yeah this still sucks."
Obi-Wan starts laughing and says "Anakin it's your first time of course it won't taste good. Trust me later on you will appreciate it more."
"Yeah Ok, whatever you say Obi-Wan." Anakin said sarcastically.
Sabe looked over at Anakin and saw that the man next to him looked even more good-looking and sexy. Her sex-drive was now let loose and she now didnt care that much about Anakin but now is super horny for Obi Wan, "Look at the guy he is with, OH MY GOD." I'm going to talk to them.
"Sabe, NO." Sola yelled. Sola and Padme then chased Sabe who was running towards Anakin and Obi Wan.
Sabe pulls out a chair and puts it right next to Obi Wan, "Hello Handsome"
Obi Wan feeling kinda nervous says, "Hello There."
Anakin watching this unfold says, "Well Obi Wan I guess you are a ladysman".
Obi Wan glances at Anakin to shutup. Obi-Wan trying everything in his power to get Sabe away.
"Sorry ma'am, but I'm trying to help my friend here and you are kind of ruining it."
Sabe, not acknowledging what he said keeps looking at him with lustfully and purrs, "Your beard is so scruffy."
Padme and Sola finally reach Sabe and Sola says, "We are so sorry, our friend thought you were hot."
Anakin looks at the girls and starts to hide his face of embarrassment because of earlier incidents with the crowds of people. He is reluctant to respond but because Obi Wan is there he feels a little bit better.
Anakin nervously grins and says"It is no problem, we enjoyed the company."
Padme turns to look at him and can't stop to believing how hot he is. She begins to choke on her words and can't believe how good looking he is.
"Thanks we will leave you too alone now." said Sola.
Sabe pouts and says, "Whatever." She then looks at Obi-Wan and writes down her number on a napkin and hands it to him. She then tells Obi-Wan, "Text me cutie."
Clovis exits the bathroom and sees Padme and her friends at the table with Anakin and Obi Wan. He begins grow very angry and storms his way over to the table. He yanks at Padme by the arm and yells at her in fury, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING HERE WITH THESE GUYS."
Padme responds in fear and says, "We were trying to get Sabe back from the table."
Obi Wan then stands up and faces Clovis and says, "Let her go, that is not how you treat a lady."
Clovis filled with rage and furt turns to Obi Wan and decks him in the face knocking him out unconscious
Sabe looks at Obi Wan on the floor and trys to help him and wake him up.
Anakin watching his only friend get hurt starts clenching his fist and looks up at Clovis and yells "HEY".
Clovis, Sola, and Padme turn around to see Anakin looking back right at them. He then raises his fists and says, "No one hurts my friend."
Clovis looks at him in disgust, "Listen here tunic boy I don't know what era you live in but you better move along." Anakin filled with anger goes behind him and shoves him to the ground.
Clovis reached his breaking point and immediately starts throwing punches left and right. Anakin remembers his jedi training and his reflexes help him evade every punch, but when he laid eyes on Padme. he stopped all of a sudden and saw how beautiful she was.
Clovis taking the opportunity of a distracted Anakin hits him with a hard uppercut to the chest which left him winded.
Anakin cleared his mind from the pain and focused on the task at hand. He dealt his worse when he was a Jedi during the Clone Wara. He used his expertise in hand to hand combat to one up Clovis.
Anakin grabs Clovis's arm flips him around, picks him up from the ground and sends him flying to another table. Clovis was screaming out in pain and agony, "Aww my back."
Padme and Sola look at Anakin with awe.
Anakin then quickly runs to Obi Wan and begins to pick him up, to bring him to safety.
Sabe still wanting Obi Wan said "No, give him back to me."
Anakin lightly pushed Sabe off and was about to head out the door with Obi-Wan when Padme grabbed his arm and said, "Thank You."
Anakin smiled back at her warmly and said, "No problem." He then left the bar.
10 minutes later they arrive at Obi Wan's apartment
Anakin helps Obi Wan to his bedroom, and Obi Wan starts to regain consciousness.
"Where am I" said Obi Wan.
Anakin responded, "In your room. You got knocked out and I beat the guy up and now I brought you back home.
"Well are you alright", said Obi Wan.
"Yes I'm fine, he wasnt that good of a fighter. But dont worry about me. You need to get some rest. So how about you go to sleep and we can talk later."
Obi Wan agreed to Anakin's proposal.
Anakin then returns to the couch, starts watching tv agains and begins to fall asleep.
End of Chapter 1
I Hope you enjoyed my first chapter of my first fanfic. I know the writing and grammar is pretty mediocre, I'm trying my best to get better. It's easy to read other people's work but to write your own and imagine the story in your head is a lot more work but I'm glad if you enjoyed it. this is not the end of the fanfic I have many more chapters I would love to make to create a nice story.
