Breaking Temple Rules with Anakin and the Deal with Prince (bunch of mean
names) Bail.
~*~*~*~
Breaking the rules of he temple made life so much.. funnier.
"I have an idea" Anakin said, mysteriously
"I'm scared" I said
"No this ones a good one"
"Like the last one?"
"No. better"
"Forget about it, I still have 40 hours of meditating left from your last idea."
"If I remember it was your idea that got us 75 hours of extra meditation… and with my plan you wouldn't have to go to survival training.."
"What are we going to do?" I said without a second thought
"Sneak out of here"
I started to laugh, this was going to be great "Anakin, we live with like 4000 jedi, someone is going to notice we are scheming, I have a better plan.. I am going to get us be sent out of here."
"How praytell are YOU going to do that?"
"Watch and learn Padawan, watch and learn."
"MASTER YODA!" I yelled across the dining hall, Anakin looked in amazement, and horror.
"Yes dear padawan," yoda says as he hobbles toward us
"come here," I say quietly, and whispered into his ear.
"Go you must then, Anakin bring with." He said in his weird talk and hurried away "See you next week dear."
Anakin looked at me with a studded look "How… how did you do that???"
"I told him I had my monthly cycle and needed emergency protection from the store."
Being one of like 20 human females at the temple did have its advantages in getting us out of here and into the weird world outside the Temple.

Back to my saga about the Prince….
His father and the temple (how I had decided at this point must hate me) decided it would be best it I stayed with Bail while another Master find the assassins. Bail was not the gracious type, he didn't like the idea of me being there and he let me know it, he didn't like me, and he let me know it, he also didn't like being a Prince, and well he let me know it.. and I let him at this point know what I thought of him.
"And I don't think you need to be here, I think my fathers overreacting this is stupid.. this palace is stupid.. this place is the stupid.. this kingdom is stupid"
That's when I had it
"That's its.." I began
"You're leaving! Congrats go!"
"No your going to shut up for a minute and let me talk. You are royalty, you have been given everything and yet you have no happiness… you don't serve your people who love you, or care about your own father- who brought JEDI to protect you. I have given my life to protecting the good in this universe and you have been given the gift- the life to make such a difference and yet you chose to whine. I have given everything I have ever had.. my whole life to become a Jedi, so that I could help people… and you don't have to give your life or your childhood to help people. And go a head report me to the Jedi Council, but I know keeping you quite for 30 second of your whinning has made this universe a happier place."
His mouth dropped and he shut up. He never did say anything to his father or the Jedi Council. After that he did act differently toward me. His father, who I had imaged was the perfect father, noticed too.. he never said anything but he nodded to me when his son finally said something good about his land. His father was a great man, an ideal king who cared more about his people then himself, and I still don't think people knew how much of himself he really gave to his job.
I was finally allowed to leave Alderaan. The other Master found the assassins and there was no more need for me to be there, but by this time I was sad to leave. This place had become a second home, Bail became almost a companion to me, we finally did have conversations that began and ended well, and his father talked to me about his people the way I hoped all rulers would talk about there people. But I was happy to go home; if only I knew what the next 2 years would bring I might have not been so happy to go back to the Temple.
About 6 months after I returned from Alderaan I had almost finished my training as a Jedi, and I was in Survival Class with Anakin. Todays lesson- Edible Slime, taught by Master Yoda. I would have fallen asleep if I had not been sitting next to Anakin who was playing with his slime. During this lesson I was happy I had paid attention to the lesson of how not to eat for 3 weeks without dieing… which well… the practical part of that lesson was not fun, but I image not eating was better then this slimey stuff. Toward the middle of the lesson- red slime verses blue slime Yoda told me to go to the Council, I had a mission to go to. I silently thanked the force and went to hear my mission.
"Padawan Hart, your service has been requested" said Master Windu, a person who you could never read his feelings from his voice. "Prince Bail, who you were with several months ago , has been elected Senator from Alderaan and his requests you accomply around this planet, and to assist him to the Senate building."
The room fell silent, I bowed, and left. I was in shock. I left the temple immediately to go to the landing pad to meet Prince or should I say Senator Bail. Could he have changed so much in 6 months to now be a Senator, one of the most important jobs in keeping the universe together? This was something I HAD to see to believe.
