Her head was clouded, filled with misguided thoughts. She was physically
and mentally exhausted, as it was a lot to take in. But once again, a
feeling told her that it was all true. It felt right and she didn't doubt
it. She lied down and closed her eyes. Now was not the time to question
what she had just learnt. Obi-Wan's presence was relaxing and his words
calming. Something told her that her answers would come the next day, and
she looked forward to his arrival.
Obi-Wan stood next to a young man whose eyes showed willingness and power, but also a hint of immaturity. He wore dark brown robes, like his Master and stood with his arms folded in front of him. He was nervous and had a look of great anticipation on his face.
"Anakin relax, you're sweating."
He shifted from foot to foot as they waited for the elevator to reach their floor. They stepped inside and rode it silently. After a while, Anakin turned his head towards his master.
"What if she doesn't recognise me? We've known each other for ten years Master, I don't think I could handle her not remembering me."
"Her memory will return, it always does. Until then, try and make a good second first impression." He chuckled as they slowed to a stop and headed towards her room. On arriving, Anakin straightened his robes and took a deep breath. Obi-Wan nodded in approval and knocked on her door twice.
Inside, Jordyn braced herself and walked towards the door. She paused, smiled and opened it slowly.
"Hello Obi-Wan."
They bowed slightly at each other and he replied, "Good morning Jordyn, and its Master Obi-Wan to you now."
She smiled, "Sorry Master, It won't happen again." She then turned to Anakin. "Hi, you must be Anakin."
His heart sunk. "Don't you remember me Jordyn?" He took a step towards her. "You're my best friend, we grew up here together..."
She shook her head. "No, sorry I don't. I know I should, but I don't remember anything."
He looked at her impatiently. "You have to remember this." He stepped forward and embraced her in a tight but gentle hug.
She closed her eyes. She could smell some sort of wildflower on his robes. He must've been outside before they arrived. She breathed in deeper and suddenly, she saw something flash before her eyes.
She was lying on the grass and Anakin ran towards her. He picked a flower and placed it behind her ear. She sat up and smiled.
"Happy Birthday, Jordyn". He leaned in and kissed her.
She stepped back, shaken and slightly dazed. She took a deep breath and looked into his eyes.
"When was my birthday?" She whispered.
Obi-Wan and Anakin shared a relieved look.
Obi-Wan smiled. "Three months ago. You two spent the day roaming through the fields. Nearly gave myself and Master Satine a heart attack when you didn't return until dusk."
Anakin chuckled and looked into her eyes. "You remember that day?"
Jordyn nodded, "I remember a bit, I remember the flower." She glanced at his face, as if waiting for approval.
He blushed and continued to gaze at her. Obi-Wan cleared his throat, and Anakin jerked, as if being snapped out of a dream. "Uh, yes, I think we should go. Oh, here, you'll be needing this." Anakin reached into his robes and handed Jordyn a long metal handle. She took it and smiled. She knew what this was too.
"I remember this!" she laughed as she drew her lightsaber into the air and admired it. Her pink bladed lightsaber was her pride and joy. She remembered that for sure.
"Its amazing how one little hug can spark up a couple of memories" Obi-Wan wondered to himself as he looked at the two suspiciously. He turned and headed out the door with his apprentices close behind him.
