I Stand Alone
DISCLAIMER: Han, Luke, Leia, Sabe, Obi-Wan (Ben), Darth Maul, and the other Star Wars characters belong to George Lucas. I'm just playing with them for the time being.
A/N: Keep in mind this was originally going to be a one-shot, but I decided to go ahead and start posting. That's why these chapters are very short!
Ben Kenobi sat in his hut on Tatooine, staring out at the sands which were silently blowing in the wind. Luke Skywalker was resting his head on his droid, C-3PO. The poor boy had just been through a lot in this day - the only family he had ever known was dead. Now Luke, Ben, and the two droids C-3PO and R2D2 were on their way to Mos Eisley in the morning. Mos Eisley...the town where he had given him over to Owen and Beru. No, he never thought this would happen...Owen and Beru were dead - incinerated by the Empire.
He heard R2 whistle and beep. "Yes, I know its late," he said to the little droid, "I'm going to be getting to sleep soon." He watched the little droid roll off - it was hard to believe that the droids were once in service to Luke's mother, Padme. It was so long ago - Padme was so young when they had first met. Of course, he originally thought that... The Queen of Naboo was really a handmaiden named Sabe - his one and only love. They spent a wonderful last night together before him and...Anakin were heading out to a mission. He tried contacting her after but found that all six girls, Padme included, had left the services of the government. Padme turned up a little while later as the Senator of Naboo, replacing Palpatine. Palpatine...he thought of that name with disgust... He was the one who was behind the killing of his love, who had bravely taken the place of Senator Amidala when she was kidnapped.
Standing up, he snuffed out the candle next to him. Everything was dark as he turned around. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a form of light and faintly heard "Obi-Wan..." He turned around to get a closer look. Could it be? It looked certainly like someone familiar but it went away before he could get a good look. *Hmm...* he thought, *Must've been my imagination...*
