Chapter 12: The Re-Alliance of Old Friends

~~

There was frantic banging on the front door of Padme Amidala Skywalker's home as Anakin slowly made his way down the stairs. "I'm coming I'm coming! Hold on a minute will you!" yelled Anakin rubbing his eyes some.

Anakin made his way to the door punched in the code and let it side open.

"FINALLY!" It was Obi-Wan he looked very distort like he had not slept in 72 hours at least maybe even more. "I have not been home because I was looking for Mara and when Sabe was not home I thought she might be here but no answered. So I thought everyone was a sleep, so I just sat here and wait."

"No, I'm sorry she is not here... but Padme, Leia, and Luke aren't here either."

"And you did not get me! Why not!" Obi-Wan stumbled a little. If Anakin hadn't know how his old master was he would mistaken him as a drunk but he knew that wasn't it.

"Look, I don't know where they are or... well I do...but if you knew who I was...you wouldn't trust me."

"What do you mean?" Obi-Wan stared at him for a moment. "YOU! WHY ARE YOU HERE!"

"Looks it's not what it seems, ok I came for reasons but they changed when I saw them and I hate myself for what I have done but I know the only way to get them back is if I don't act as stupid as I had done before."

"What are you telling me Anakin? You want my help after you tried to kill me? After you tried kill all the people that trusted you?"

"Because I am the only way you can get your wife and child back. Besides you look horrible."

"I have had a rough few days, but that does not mean I am going to be open to you." Anakin moved way from the door letting his old friend into the house and he watched him fall onto the couch. "Of all the Jedi I would think you would be the one never to be acting like this after only 3 days of no sleep."

"Yes well those Jedi never lost a child." Obi-Wan sat up looking at Anakin. "Why did you come back?"

"I came back for some reasons I wish not to talk about but once I saw them my reasons changed."

"Oh so you did come back because the Empire told you to. I thought as much you would only do what he says now anyways." Obi-Wan yelled, getting up from the couch but stumbling back onto it.

"Would you settle down? Your acting drunk."

"I'M NOT DRUNK! I'M TIRED! THERE IS A DIFFERNCE!"

"Yes but with a Jedi, if I remember right that is almost like being drunk because you aren't using the force."

"I AM TOO! I can use the force just fine!"

"Oh, if you can use the force just fine? Then why have you not figured out where your wife and child are? You know as well as I do that we have bonds with them that no ordinary Jedi could have with a 'normal' being."

"Yes, well I never thought about it! Ok!"

Anakin walked over to Obi-Wan sitting down in a near by chair. "Look, Sabe is fine she is with Padme they are in the Death Star." He paused a moment then continued. "And I can't save them on my own I need your help."

"Ok then lets get going now!"

"No I don't think that a good idea you are getting sleep before we go who knows what you will do. You could be in the middle of a sparing and fall right to sleep so we will leave tonight. Besides I want to look more presentable."

It was almost midnight Anakin and Obi-Wan had left the Mos Espa spaceport only a few minutes ago. Obi-Wan was back to himself, griping to Anakin about how he needed to slow down in his flying and so on, and Anakin would just reply "Do you want to save them or go on a detour around the galaxy?"

Anakin still had his beard but this time not as scruffy looking more presentable for what Jedi would look like when he had just become the Master. "Hey, Obi-Wan I need to tell you something... now don't kill me for this I was ordered to do it and once a gave her to the troopers I went off to find Padme and got stuck in that sand storm."

"What is it?"

"Well I was..." Anakin hesitated for a moment trying to find the right words for what he was about to tell Obi-Wan. "I was the one that stole Mara from her crib...I staged it to look like the troopers so you would go off and look for them at Mos Espa I did everything...Look I'm sorry! I was just going by my orders but then...when Luke was stole I realized I well was an ass and did not know how it would feel to loose something that would be so close to you..."

"I SHOULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW BUT SENCE WE ARE A SHIP I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE! I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO WAIT!"

"Yes well if I had told you before we got in the ship. You would not have come on. So I choose now...but it really did not seem to help."

After what Anakin had said there was a silence within the ship the rest of the way there. Anakin knowing where the easy undetectable areas of the Death Star was he landed the ship only yards away from one of the back entrances and made his way with Obi-Wan to the trash shoot into the metal base.
