Blue
Waters: episode #43 Samantha's Strange
Sickness
Previously: Palpatine successfully converted Anakin to the Dark Side, making
him a Sith. His Sith name is Darth Vader.
Anakin leaves the
room. Now back to Samantha. She had
gone to Coruscant, as was suggested of her. Her entire family except Gwydion and Beru were preparing to go on a
small vacation. Beru wasn't going because she's on Tatooine, and Gwydion
because he was watching the house. Thus, Gwydion was the one that answered the
door.
"Samantha? What's wrong?"
"Anakin left, and
I'm afraid something will happen to him. I mean he left to go face Palpatine. I'm worried."
Gwydion says, "Come right in. Everyone's
preparing to go on this trip…I'm not going."
Samantha says, "thanks…I just need someone to
talk to. You've always been a comfort
to me. How is everyone?"
Gwydion laughs, "Tits' only been since
yesterday that we last saw each other. Its' not like it's been days."
"It sure feels like tit has been."
"Samantha, you feeling all right?"
"Well not rally. I'm feeling kind of
sick. I think it's because I only got 4
hours of sleep last night and I'm tired. I'm sure I'll be fine after I sleep some…if I can sleep."
Gwydion smiles "Go
ahead and go to bed then."
Despite the circumstance, Samantha was able
to get to sleep very easily. 4 hours
later, about 2:00 PM she woke up. Gwydion had told everyone that she was there.
"Good," says Sally.
"I hope Anakin gets himself killed. The sooner the better."
Gwydion came to
check on Samantha. He was pleased to
find her awake.
"How are you
doing?"
"I don't know, Gwydion, I'm still felling a
little sick. Probably the flu or something. I'm just glad I didn't get sick yesterday…oh…what if Anakin got sick,
too and can't fight his best because of it. I mean he and I were together like all the time."
Gwydion says, "I
hope not…but I'm sure he's doing fine."
Samantha nods, "thank you."
Gwydion says, "I'm
going down stairs now. If you need
anything, just let me know."
"Okay, thanks."
Tim asks of Gwydion as they pass each other
on the steps "is she up yet?"
"Yeah, but she says she's sick."
"She probably
caught it form that husband of hers. Now we'll all be sick."
"Just keep her away from Caspian," Sally
says, who had overheard the conversation.
She was at the moment holding him.
"We'll be leaving
soon. Tim, let's go see Samantha."
The hand the baby
to Gwydion. As they enter her room,
they say, "I hear you're sick. I hope
you feel better, sweetie. Gwydion will be here to help you."
Tim adds, "Yeah, we don't want you sick.
We're going now."
Samantha nods. Tim, Sally, and Caspian leave.
As the day goes on, Samantha doesn't feel any better. The next day, Samantha,
though she is not feeling any better at all, decides to get up and do
something. Gwydion is already up. He
smiles at her when he sees her.
"Glad to see you p
and around." 'I still don't feel well,
Gwydion, I don't know what it is. I'll
be all right…these flue types of things usually go away after two days. I'm going
to walk around outside. That should do
me some good. Please come with me."
"All right, but as soon as you get better,
I'll be sick, and you'll have to take care of me."
They start off. Anakin is walking around. Yes, Anakin and Samantha meet each other outside. They were both surprised to see each other.
"Anakin! I'm so glad to se you! What happened?"
"Samantha? What are you doing here! I thought you were staying on Dagobah."
"Yoda and Obi-Wan suggested that I come
here. Ani, something's wrong…what is
it?"
She added the second sentence in after she'd
looked him over.
"Nothing…I'm fine."
"How did your confrontation go?"
"Oh that? Well actually…it hasn't taken place yet. The circumstances were not as I
had expected. I have to go now. Go on back to Dagobah…it'll be better for
you there."
Then he continued on his way.
After he had gone,
Samantha turns to Gwydion, "I don't like that…something's going on. I think Anakin acted strangely…"
Gwydion nodded, 'I
agree, his behavior was definitely not normal for him."
They returned back to the palace.
Towards the end of
the day Gwydion asks, "How are you feeling now? Because I think you ought to go
back to Dagobah if you're feeling up to it."
"Not any better, thank you."
Gwydion was beginning to grow concerned for
her.
"Listen, it's been 2 full days, and you've
had no improvement. If you don't feel
better in five days, I'm taking you to the doctor."
"Gwydion, I don't' think that's
necessary. I'll be fine…"
"Samantha, you will go to the
doctor. If you don't go yourself, I'll take
you."
She sighs.
"Really, Gwydion I
don't think it's anything…but I'll go if you won't back off until I do."
Gwydion nods. As the week wore on, she showed no improvement whatsoever. She actually began to fell worse in some
ways.
ON the 7th
day of her feeling like this, Gwydion says, "That's it. You're going to the doctor."
Until next time!
