Blue Waters: episode #29
Events up to the 6th month after the Clone Wars
Previously: Tim and Sally have discovered that Dyrnwyn
is missing. Arawn talked to Darth
Sidious about having the gwythaints on their side. Sidious also tells Arawn that he is engaged to Bantha
Stephanie. Darth Sidious hints on how
he plans on dealing with Anakin. I also
informed you that Anakin can not begin his training again at least for another
6 months, and that Owen can't get Gryvonbarf again because of a contract in the
Republic Navy.
Arawn
leaves and a month goes by. It is now
the day of the dance. The month is now
October. Anakin and Samantha had been
seeing each other as often as possible, with or without Samantha's parent's
approval. Since Anakin lived on
Coruscant because he was a Jedi, it didn't make this difficult. Before they left for the dance, Anakin
wanted to do something special for her. She was dressed in a very elegant dress, and her hair was done up
special for the occasion by a professional. Anakin thought she was the most beautiful female in the galaxy, but she
somehow looked even more gorgeous than ever before. Anakin wouldn't have thought it possible. He also was dressed up nicely. She thought he was extra handsome
tonight. Neither of them was after or
even cared about looks, but they both got it in the other.
Anakin says,
"how would you like me to take you up in space for a while. We could go to
Alderaan or Naboo."
Samantha smiled and said, "I would really
like that."
So, Anakin took her hand and led her to his
ship. He helped her in, and then they
took off. Anakin sets the course for
Alderaan…it's rumored to be the most romantic spot in the entire galaxy. When they got there, they got out and walked
over to a pond. They kissed and held onto each other for a long time. They talked a lot. Christ was their center
of their relationship. They both felt
the breeze…and Anakin led her back to his ship. They then went back to Coruscant for the dance. Slow songs played all night, and they danced
for a long time…the entire time. Anakin held her close to him as they danced. She held onto him, closely, also. When they decided to take a break at one point, and they had let
go of each other, she still felt like he was holding her, as she always felt
when they let go. He came up behind her
and put his arms around her waist. Everyone there was enjoying himself or herself, except Palpatine. He kept checking his watch and looking
bored. A lot of people were there,
including Obi-Wan Kenobi. He smiled at
Anakin and Samantha. Obi-Wan had never
really fallen in love himself. The Jedi
life was hard. He couldn't imagine
trying to be a Jedi and having a wife and pull her into it. He was happy for Anakin, though. Another month passed. Darth Sidious married Bantha Stephanie in a
private wedding with only Arawn present along with the rest of the banthas. A
month after that (making it now December), Marion goes to Rhun.
She says, "Honey, I'm pregnant. I just found
out today."
"Oh, that's wonderful," he says.
Another month passes and Bantha Stephanie
finds out she's pregnant. Yes, banthas
and humans can have a baby together. Banthas are one of the few species that can mate with humans. Actually, it is the only other
species! Another month passes and the
time is exactly one year before the final series of events in Blue
Waters. Two people find out they're
pregnant: Prunella, a Maurder that is
Mr. Idiot's lover. (No, they're not
married) and Minka, Arawn's wife. I'm going through these events kind of fast
because I need this story to end soon, and it would be boring if I wrote in
great detail these events. Now, one
month later, Anakin decides it's time to do what he's wanted to do for a long
time…purpose.
Anakin's just
taken Samantha out for like the millionth time…it's at night and he says to
her, "Samantha, can we talk?"
She says, "Of course."
"Good, because this is some serious stuff."
Anakin studies her, and then says, "Can I
talk to your father?"
Samantha says, "You know how he feels about you. He's forbidden me to see you."
Anakin laughs,
"A lot of good that did. I know all
that, but can you get him for me? It's
important."
She says,
"I'll try, but there's no guarantee that he'll be willing to talk to you."
"Thanks," Anakin says as Samantha goes
inside to talk to her father.
Until next
time!
