You already know that Anakin and
Samantha fell in love.
Blue Waters: episode #27
A Bounty
Previoulsy: During the celebration, the Maurders came and
stole Dyrnwyn, the Force Sword. Anakin
meets Han Solo briefly. Anakin asked
Samantha to the dance, and she of course accepted. Samantha also got into an
argument with her parents over Anakin. They don't want her seeing Anakin
anymore because he's not wealthy and has no real political power.
Tim
heard this and says, "I want you to stay away from him. He's poor and is not of royal blood. He is not rich. He was once a slave."
Samantha says, "you're asking me to do
the impossible. You're out of line
telling me who I can marry and who I can't. I'm going to marry Anakin as soon as he asks, and there's nothing
you or anyone else can do about it. It's my life!"
She runs out of the room and Time and Sally
look helplessly at each other. Back to
Han. Han had seen Samantha and Anakin
together and thought it was really cool that Anakin was in love with the queen.
As a result, this is what he told Jabba
when he returned.
"You
told me you wanted to know what I thought of the celebration...well I thought
it was really neat. There were
bonfires...and I even saw Anakin Skywalker...and he talked to me."
Jabba
says, "he is our enemy. He's the
one that defeated the clones...the hero of the Clone Wars for them."
Even
though Han works for Jabba, he doesn't believe in the Maurder movement...he's
forced into it.
Then Han continued, "and I thought it
was so cool how he and the queen kept kissing and were like in love or
something."
Jabba
looked at Han, "Now that's exactly the kind of information I was hoping
for. this will give us a lead. I must
contact Mr. Idiot at once. Thank you,
Han."
Han leaves. Mr. Idiot is busy tinkering with Dyrnwyn when he gets a message
from Jabba.
Jabba
says, "One of my spies found something juicy out...Anakin Skywalker
appears to have a relationship with the queen."
Mr.
Idiot smiles and says, "good...this means we can continue on with our
experiment all the sooner....we will have to observe them so we will know when
to act. I hear that Anakin has a really
strong force and that any off-spring of theirs would be a threat t us. The inscription on Dyrnwyn...even though we
can't read it all...is my reason for saying this. Also, they would make the Republic and Jedi Knights...one Anakin
Skywalker is enough. We don't need any
children he may have also fighting against us."
Mr.
Idiot then says, "I think I'll sends that new bounty hunter after this and
I'll have him inform us of when the time is right. Call in Boba Fett."
I don't
think I've mentioned him in any of the stories before except Death Star. Now he is added to this one. Boba Fett is a new bounty huntert, he 's only
been in service for a year. He actually
started during the Clone Wars (which was in the past year.) He'd managed to kill a clone and steal the armor
to wear for himself. Boba Fett was
already famous for his ruthless ways of killing people. Bounty Hunting was against the law, but with
the Clone Wars going on, there were few to enforce this law, and many bounty
hunters had come to surface. Anyway,
Boba Fett is called in.
Boba
Fett says, "I hope you can afford me...I've just recently increased my
prices. I only go for merchandise of
the highest credit value."
Mr.
Idiot says, "Sure...we've been saving up. True, the Clone Wars cost us a lot...but we could pay you in
weapons. We have some left that were
outside of the factory before that Anakin creep destroyed them."
Boba
Fett says, "Fine...just tell me who you want the bounty on and I'll do it,
if I think the price is reasonable."
"All prices are negotiable...if you
don't like it, we'll raise it to your satisfaction."
Boba
Fett was thinking, "you don't know what you're telling me, but I guess
that's why your name is "Mr. Idiot"."
Mr. Idiot says, "I need you to keep a
close eye on Anakin Skywalker and Queen Samantha Jedi...and let me know if they
get married or if she ever gets pregnant."
Boba
Fett says, "I am not in the habbit of spying on people...so the price will
have to be extra high."
Mr.
Idiot says, "how about 9,000 credits worth or weapons."
"Not
high enough."
"How about 9,000,000 credits worth of
weapons."
"Fine,"says Boba Fett.
Fett
thinks he could have gotten a higher price, but he knew it wasn't a good idea
to get too much out of it the first time. Fett leaves on this bounty.
Until next time!
