Obi-wan was still puzzled by the strange appearence of the young girl the night before.
He shook his head, ~Kenobi, you've spent to much time one this godforsaken palnet, and it's got you paranoid..~ he thought to himself.
~But still, what had she been about to say? I could've sworn it was an A something, but who could that be? Surely it couldn't be.....No, he goes by Darth Vader now.~ Obi-wan thought.
"Obi-wan?" Padme called.
"Just a minute." Obi-wan called, as he stood up and stretched. Then he walked towards the sound of Padme's call.
He turned in her room, and saw her watching the holo-vid.
"Yes, Mi'lady?" He asked.
She turned to face him, "Obi-wan, three more Jedi have turned up dead." she said, and gestured to the holo-vid, where it showed pictures of the three Jedi.
Obi-wan studied their faces, trying to remember them.
The first, he remembered was a knight that he was accquainted with, Deboo Khouroo, from the outer rim. And Deboo's Corrilian apprentice, Brent. The last Jedi Obi-wan did not know though...
Obi-wan stayed with Padme as they watched the rest of the news report in silence.
When it was finnished, Obi-wan turned to Padme, "There..wasn't anyone in our house besides us last night, right?" he asked her.
She shook her head, no. "You can watch the security tape from last night, though." she said.
Obi-wan nodded, "I think I will do that, thank you, Mi'day." he said, and left.
Obi-wan went over the the control board in the kitchen, and messed with a couple buttons and wires, and suddenly a holo-vid of the night before sprung up.
Obi-wan carefully watched, looking for anything out-of the ordinary, but saw nothing.
He even watched himself mumble a few things durring his meditation, but that was it.
Everything was perfectly normal.
Or so it seemed.

"Just a little under an hour till we land." Anakin told Ria and Leera.
They nodded.
"So, Leera, are you sure you don't know where this house was located?" Anakin asked once more.
Leera nodded, "Yes, I am sure, just dessert and sand everywhere around." she said.
"Well, that's pretty much anywhere on that planet." Anakin said.
"I guess it is..." Leera said quietly, nodding.
Ria stood up, "I'm going to go use the 'fresher." she said, and quietly left the cockpit.
Leera yawned, and felt herself drift asleep.....
_________
Anakin brought the ship down on the Mos Esliey outskirts, remembering his srep-brother, and Anakin thought that he might be in contact with Obi-wan and Padme.
Anakin slowly rose and saw Leera was still asleep in the co-pilots seat.
He reached his hand over to her shoulder, and gently shook it.
"Leera. We're here." He whispered.
Her eyes slowly opened, and she yawned.
"We're here?" she asked.
Anakin smiled and nodded.
"Come on." he told her, and they went off to look for Ria.
They found her, asleep on a cahir in the main room of the ship.
"Wake up, Ria, We're here!" Leera exclaimed.
Ria bolted awake, "Huh?" she asked, confused.
"We've landed on tattoine!" Leera told her.
"Oh." Ria said, and stood up and stretched.
"You know, you guys don't have to come with me." Anakin told them.
"What?!" Leera screeched. "Are you kidding? We came with you all this way, I lost myself in a trance met some people, and you say we can stay here?Are you insane? why would I want to stay here?"
Ria laughed, "Okay, we get it, Leera." she said.
Anakin smiled, "I guess you can come then." he said.
"Thank you!" Leera said.
Anakin turned to Ria, "How about you?" he asked.
"Um, I think you guys might need some help." She said.
"Okay, then," Anakin said, "Let's go."
Leera grinned, excitied about her first 'real' mission, and she was curious about the people she had seen in her vision.
Anakin hit some buttons on the keypad by the door, and it slid open, revealing a land of heat and sand.
"I hate it here." Anakin whispered, but he continued to walk out.
He was going to find Padme and Obi-wan, or die trying....
_________
As Anakin stepped out of the ship, memories from his past where stirred up.
Haunting memories of his mother ran through his head.
Of Watto.
Of Being a slave.
And of the day his life changed.
The day Jedi Master Qui-gon Jinn walked into Watto's shop.
The day he met Padme.
And of the day, when he watched his mother die...
Anakin shuddered and pushed those old memories away.
He caught a glimpse of himself on the metalic silver sides of the ship.
Anakin stared at himself.
He ran his fingers through his hair, which was much longer than usual.
He looked down at his tattered and town jedi robes.
And turned away.
Anakin didn't care how he looked, just as long as he could find the only two people that mattered in his life.
Anakin walked a few paces, and stared out into the horizon.
He brought up memories of the Lars home, and recalled the way to it.
He turned back to Ria and Leera, and pointed off one way on the horizon.
"There, that way, we're not too far." he told them, and began to walk in that direction, with Ria and Leera folowing behind him.
________________
After walking for what seemed like hours upon hours, They could see a small building in the distance.
"That's it!" Anakin exclaimed.
Ria squinted to see, "Are you sure?" she asked.
Anakin nodded, and began to run towards it.
"Hey, wait for us!" Ria called as she and Leera ran after him.
They reached the door, and Anakin knocked.
No answer.
He knocked again.
The door cautiously slid open a few inches.
Beru stuck her face out, "Yes?" she asked.
Anakin stared at her. "Beru?" he asked.
She stared at him, and a look of Alarm crossed her face.
"Owen!" she yelled.
Anakin looked at her puzzled for a moment, beru had been really nice last time he saw her.
He heard rapid footsteps coming from behind her, and Anakin soon saw Owen staning in the door.
"A..A..Ani...Anakin?" he stutered.
"Yes, it's me. I'm looking for Obi-wan and Padme, do you know where they are?" Anakin asked them.
Owen slammed the door in Anakin's face.
Anakin stood there quite puzzled for a while.
"I thought you said that it was your step-brother." Ria said.
"It...it was..." Anakin mumbled. And knocked again.
No answer this time.
"Owen! Beru! Let me in! I need to find Obi-wan and Padme!" Anakin yelled.
No answer.
"Well fine, then I'm going to cut the door open with my lightsaber!" Anakin yelled.
"Nice move, Jedi." Ria mumbled.
Anakin turned and glared at her.
Then he heard the door slowly sliding open.
Owen was standing there cautiously.
"Why are you looking for them, Vader?" he asked coldly.
"What do you mean, Vader?" Anakin asked. Then shook his head, "Nevermind, I just want to find my master and my wife." he said.
Owen squinted at him.
"I can't tell you where they are." He finally said. "And I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
Anakin coldly glared at his step-brother, and turned and left.
His anger fumed as he walked away, with Ria and Leera trailing behind.....
