Pour Mon Chere Hayden, Je T'aime.
A/N: This really isn't 'my' story, this is how I figure Lucas is gonna do it (and seeing as how I got EP2 pretty much right, I'm cocky and arrogant. Hehe, j/k). And I happen to resent half-hearted! READ MY OTHER STORIES!!! YAY

It wasn't long before a youngling came and let Anakin know that the council was ready to see him. Anakin quickly cleaned himself up, and jogged to the council chambers, but hesitated at the door. His future was about to be decided, his dream, his life, everything. Those twelve Jedi, the wisest people in the galaxy, were going to decide what would happen to him now, and if there was anything Anakin couldn't stand, it was having his fate in their hands.
Behind him, Anakin heard familiar footsteps, and spun to see Obi-Wan standing serenely a few steps away, also about to head into the council chambers. Anakin tried to smile slightly, but quickly looked away as Obi- Wan merely nodded acknowledgement and gave him the cold shoulder. Obi-Wan walked in front of him and entered the chambers, and Anakin was quick to follow. The two stood in the centre of the circle, and bowed to the Jedi around them.
"Jedi Skywalker. A sad turn of events, this is." Yoda muttered quietly, the rest of the council nodding in agreement. Anakin elected to stay silent, but forced himself to swallow the bile that had risen in his throat.
"You've gone against the rules of our ways, and have brought us great dishonour." Mace Windu echoed slightly. "Master Kenobi, have you anything to say in defence of your padawan?"
"Master Windu, I believe it would be best if Anakin spoke in his own defence." Obi-Wan quietly offered, his voice betraying his heartbreak. Anakin looked up at him and studied his face. He'd hurt his Master before, he'd driven him crazy, but never had he seen such pain etched so deeply in his face.
"As you wish Jedi Kenobi." Mace Windu said, seeing it as well, and turning to Anakin. "What say you, Jedi Skywalker?"
Anakin stared at him a moment, and forced himself to hold back the thousands of 'buts' that were about to escape his mouth. He wanted to scream that he loved Padme, and that love was unconditional compassion, which was encouraged. He wanted to say that loving Padme would make him a better Jedi, would help him perform his duties better. He wanted to explain it all away, but he knew it would be unwise. As Obi-Wan had said so many times in the past 'The rules are in place for a reason' and Anakin knew that disputing what he'd done wasn't against the rules would only make the Council more disappointed in him. "Master Windu, Master Yoda…I don't regret what I did. I love Padme, and I want to make her happy. I accept responsibility for my choice, and I sincerely hope that you will allow me to continue to train to be a Jedi."
Anakin looked up at Obi-Wan and finished his short speech. "Master, I'm sorry for hurting you, and betraying you." Anakin whispered.
Obi-Wan's face remained stony, and he looked back at Yoda and Mace.
"Disappointing this is." Yoda sighed as only he could. "To loose one so powerful."
"Anakin, you realize that it would not be wise for you to leave the Jedi, when you are so vulnerable to the Darkside." Mace Windu asked gently.
"Yes, Master Windu." Anakin could only nod, slightly confused.
"It was my failure, Masters. I failed to teach Anakin why love is forbidden. I accept responsibility." Obi-Wan quietly announced. All the Jedi in the room turned to him and most frowned. "I respectfully hand in my resignation to the Order."
