The Adventures of Anakin and Alpha

Summary- an ARC clone trooper- Alpha- is assigned to follow the newly knighted (Master) Anakin Skywalker around, and "keep him out of trouble". Anakin and his "baby-sitter" quickly become friends, and share many humorous adventures together.

Prologue

Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Mace Windu sat in Chancellor Palpatine's office. "Thank you for coming on such short notice, Gentleman," Palpatine began. "Called us at 3 in the morning, you did! An emergency, we thought there was! But call us here, you do, to talk of Master Anakin!" Yoda yelled. "I called you here partly on my own idea, but also because of a comment made by Master Kenobi. And frankly, Master Yoda," Palpatine said, staring straight at the green Jedi, "3 in the morning is the only time I'm available." "The truth that may be. But apologize for yelling I do not. My beauty rest, I am missing," Yoda muttered under his breath. Mace elbowed him in the ribs. "Obi-Wan, do you remember telling me how reckless Anakin has become since the beginning of the Clone Wars?" the Chancellor asked. "Yes.." Obi-Wan responded thoughtfully, wondering where this discussion was headed. "Well, he is one of the Republic's most promising generals, so I thought an extra measure of security might be in order for him." "Most promising general of the Republic, I am. Look good in the uniform, I do," Yoda whispered to Mace. Before the dark-skinned Jedi could elbow Yoda in the ribs again, smacked Mace with his cane, Yoda did. "I thought, why not assign an ARC clone trooper to guard Anakin?" Palpatine continued. "Anakin hardly needs someone to guard him. I mean, have you seen his reaction when someone surprises him while he's playing his NintendoXStation3?" exclaimed Mace. "I agree, but Anakin respects ARCs. Perhaps, if we assigned one to him, the trooper could not only assist him in a fight; but could also.. keep him out of trouble" Palpatine smiled. All three Jedi sat up straight. "Yes!!" they chorused as one. "You know.. prevent him from taking unnecessary risks, keep him focused on the task at hand.." Palpatine kept going. "Fine by me, it is. Agree do you?" Yoda asked, looking at his companions. "Yes," Mace said simply. "OH, FORCE YES!! For the first time in 12 years I don't have to worry about that little Imp!!" Obi-Wan gushed. Master Kenobi then spent the next half-hour dancing joyously around the Chancellor's office, before being wrestled back to the Temple by Mace Windu.

Imp- slang for Imperial. Pun intended.
