Hey everyone, sorry for taking soooo long with this
chapter. My internet is crappy!! but anywho here's the
next chapter!!

~2~

Anakin walked quickly toward the landing pad. He had over
slept a bit and didn't want to anger the masters anymore.
Just the other day he had accidently set his bed on fire
while fixing up a new droid. Boy, he thought, I sure got
in trouble for that one!

Finally, Anakin went through the double doors and was
greeted by Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan and also some man he had
never seen before. Qui-Gon smiled and said, "So nice of
you to join us. Are you ready now?"

Anakin nodded and grinned sheepishly. While he boarded
and got comfortable Obi-Wan said, "Anakin this is Garen.
He's a good friend of mine and an excellent pilot. Garen
this is the famous Anakin Skywalker."
Anakin nodded and was about to say something when a
sneeze attack hit him. He sneezed for about five minutes
straight and when it was over quickly grabbed a tissue.

Garen smiled and replied," Nice to meet you too, Anakin."
They all laughed and set off on their new mission.

**************************************************

The planet X-Tone came into view and right away Qui-Gon
could tell that trouble lived in this planet. The planet
was a sort of murky greenish-brown tint with a touch of
blue. Looking beside him, Qui-Gon could see Anakin
wrinkle his nose at the sight. Anakin's eyes were
scrunched up in disgust and he quickly sat down.

A soft chuckle came from the pilots seat where Obi-Wan
and Garen were seated. Probably something they thought
of, an old memory perhaps, Qui-Gon thought. He sat there
for awhile thinking of the old days when the ship rocked
to the side. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Garen quickly grabbed
ahold of something and stayed in their seat. Anakin on
the other hand wasn't so lucky.

He hit the ground with a thud and slid to the side of the
ship. Stars danced in front of his eyes and he stayed
put, holding on to whatever he could find. Anakin slowly
turned around to look out the window to see what had
happened. As he looked he gasped. Red and blue lights
were heading fast their way and if he wasn't much
mistaken those were bombs.

After making sure Anakin was alright, Qui-Gon carefully
made his way up to the front. Garen was dodging war ships
and missle fire that was headed their way.

"We have to land soon!" Garen managed to say while trying
to fix his complete attention and skill on keeping them
in the air.

"I know, we're only about a quarter of a parsec away from
X-Tone," Qui-Gon replied. Obi-Wan looked up from the
paper work and said quickly, "There's a clear space right
at the edge. take a ri-."

He never got to finish because Anakin yelled at that
exact second," Master hurry take a left. A left, we have
three sensor bombs after us!" His voice was shrill with
fear and excitement.
As Anakin made his way up front Qui-Gon turned to him and
pushed the pale boy in a seat.

"Ani, buckle up." Anakin nodded and Qui-Gon sat next to
him and followed his own instrucions. The ship took a
sharp curve and Anakin got the feeling of being
weightless as the went straight down. An explosion came
from behind them and the ship was flipped .

Anakin screwed his eyes shut and plugged his ears. A
terrible, loud groaning noise was coming from the ship as
it fell through the planets atmosphere. Anakin quickly
opened his eyes to see the ground rise to meet them.
Somethin crashed into his body and he knew no more.
