Chap 6:Bits and Pieces
Anakin jumped to the other rock, and grabbed to the ledge, climbing up on to it. He looked behind him, and saw another person jump, and grab on to the ledge. He started pulling himself up, when one hand slipped, and he hung with one hand. His face was scared, and Anakin could help him. Anakin kneeled down, and reached for the person's dangling hand. The person, who was Palo, grabbed his hand, and Anakin hang on tight. He pulled Palo up with his strength, and Palo was safe.
"Thanks, Anakin," Palo said.
"No problem," Anakin answered.
Anakin still couldn't get the secret off his mind. He was going to ask Bail about it that night. What was it about Padmè that they think would hurt him? The more Anakin thought about it, the madder and more ticked off he got. He calmed himself down, and decided that he would find out that night.

Anakin's rage helped him in the next game of multi-ball. It determined him. He made awesome plays that amazed every one.
Lando Calrissian kicked a deep punt that hung in the air for a while. Anakin got under it, and caught it, and started to run. Lando got to him, and wrapped around him, starting to take him down, but Anakin broke the tackle. Then Anakin faked to the right, but went to the left, and broke another tackle. Then his leg muscles kicked in as he sped past everyone else, getting in the scoring zone for a touchdown.
Anakin made a deep kick, and ran after the opponents. He caught up with the returner, and dived at him. The returner kept going, but was soon tackled by Bail. Palo snapped the ball to Lando, who went back, and threw it deep to Jake. Anakin leapt in front of Jake, and intercepted the ball. He got up before anyone touched him, and went towards the scoring zone. He was tackled only seven basic yards from the scoring zone.
Later on, Anakin was the quarterback. He got the ball, and went back. Kitster was open, but the reason no one was covering him was because no one thought that Anakin could throw it that far. They were wrong. Anakin threw it hard, and Kitster caught it, and ran in one basic yard for another touchdown.
Anakin sped straight for a deep throw from Bail. Bail threw hard, but it was overthrown. Anakin leapt forward, and the ball landed on his fingertips. He quickly brought it in, and tumbled on the ground. Then, he ran thirty-one basic yards on the next play for another touchdown.
At the end, the score was fifty-six to seven, and Anakin's team had won.
"Good job, Anakin," Palo said.
"That was awesome, Anakin," Bail said.
"Nice job, Anakin," said Kitster and Jake.
People on both teams, his and his opponent's, were congratulated. He merely nodded, and said "thanks" when anyone complimented him. He still just couldn't get that secret out of his head. The dinner bell rang. After dinner they were going to have a campfire, and then they would go back to the dorm, when Anakin would ask Bail.
"That was an awesome game. You played better than you ever had," said Kitster at their table.
"Yeah, that was an awesome catch when Bail thought he had overthrown you. And the interception," said Jake.
"Thanks. But you helped, too," said Anakin.
"Not as much as you did," they replied.
"So, I guess they're saying you were really good in the game, huh?" asked Padmè.
"He was awesome. You should have seen him. On one play, there was a pass straight to someone, but Anakin jumped in front of him for an interception. On another play, he leapt like eight feet forward to catch a ball. It was awesome," Jake said.
"Wow," said Padmè, and Anakin went a little red.

"OK, I'll tell you. Look, I hardly know anything. I just was walking, and caught up with Owen, Wedge, and Han. They were laughing about something. Then, we ran into Mrs. Leia. Wedge started talking to her in a stuttering voice. Then, Owen took off. Han took off, too. Wedge told her that he would try to find out something, and followed them. I told her the same thing, and I followed them. I got to the dorm, and saw Padmè, Dormè, and Sabè. Owen was in front of them. Owen said, 'I know.' Then he whispered something to Padmè. Then she said, 'You can't tell anyone.' That's all I know," Bail said.
"So Owen is the only one who knows everything?" asked Anakin, a little calmer now.
"Yes," answered Bail in relief.
