Anakin Solo had his mouth hanging opened. "Wha...How..."
"How can I be here? I think I've already answered that question. Through the Force." He said with a patient smile. He turned serious again "I brought you here, Anakin, for a reason. I want to show you. I want you to learn."
"Learn? Learn what?"
"You see, we're all here for a reason. We live for a reason. We die for a reason." He let his words sink in and then continued "But I'm not here to talk. I'm here to show you."
"Show me what?" Anakin was curious now.
"Everything.Your family. Your heritage. You'll see your name's nothing to be afraid of. Fear leads to hate"
"Hate leads to anger... I know, I know..."
Anakin Skywalker laughed a little "Your uncle has taught you well. But you still have some problem with patience. So do I."
"Sir, I"
"Don't sir me, Anakin. I'm not much older than you, am I? You can call me Ani. That's what Pad...Your grandmother called me. And also my own mother."
"Why do you look so young?"
"I wanted you to see me like this. At this age I wasn't very different from you. And they were the happiest years of my life. Before the dark, that is." His eyes became darker somehow.
"What was her name again?"
"Who?"
"My grandmother"
"Oh... Padmé. Padmé Amidala Naberrie. My angel" his eyes grew distant.
"My mom says she has only a few memories of her. She says she was very beautiful"
"Your mother looks a lot like her. Dark hair, dark eyes. Let me show you"
Anakin soon found himself in some kind of shop. It was dusty and old. It looked like a junk shop.
"Where am I, Ani?"
"On Tatooine. That's where I grew up. Look" he pointed to the door.
In came a tall man with shoulder length hair. Anakin recognised him somehow. He was Qui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Master. There was also a young girl about his age, perhaps younger. Anakin was astonished with her beauty and how her eyes seemed wise above her years, just like his mother's. There was another being too and also a droid, which he knew it was his uncle's R2D2.
"That's her isn't it ? And that's Artoo! How can that be?"
Ani nodded "Yes, the very one." They turned their attention to the scene again as a little boy with blond hair entered the shop and sat himself "and that's me. I was 9." Time seemed to skip a bit and now Qui-Gon was gone with another being.
Anakin heard his grandfather talking to Padmé "Are you an Angel?"... He noticed she had the most beautiful smile. He watched the whole scene diplayed in front of his eyes and was awed by it. The past was unfolding in front of his eyes. He saw his grandmother say goodbye to the boy and then they were alone again, him and his grandfather.
"That's only the beginning, Anakin. There's much for you to see. But you must rest now."
And then, everything went blank.
