(A/N: This is a What if? Story..what if Anakin Skywalker had not fallen to
the dark side and now the Old Republic is split into two? With the ever-
decreasing amount of Jedi on one side as well as some of the more stronger-
willed bureaucrats and a handful of brave star systems.with guess who? Bail
Organa and Mon Mothma at is head. On the other side, good old palpatine,
the trade federation and a Sith Apprentice as well as all the star systems
that Palpatine's army managed to force to cower in submission. All this
written from the point of 13 year old Kyra Skywalker.I hav an Original
story quite identical to this but decided to write a Star Wars version
since it started out as a SW fanfic.LoL)
Later that night
Luke studied his father's hands, which were folded and placed on the desk. He shifted uneasily in his chair, eyes darting all around the room. He dared not look up, but he knew his father would be sitting ramrod straight in the chair and looking at him with those icy blue eyes, that petrified most padawans so much, they avoided him. Luke quickly reminded Fate of all the good things he'd done, and hoped his father didn't dream up some horrifying punishment for him.
'Damn, Luke. You really are in trouble this time!' the voice in his head said. *Your old man may just delay your Trials..should have thought of that before tripping up little girls* he identified the voice as his conscience. *But it wasn't my fault! I didn't put the darned toy there*, he fought back.
Contrary to what Luke was thinking, Anakin Skywalker's thoughts were far from daily matters:
'He's too young Master Yoda'
'Not too young he is, think I and the Council'
'But Master..'
'Question the Council's judgment, do you?'
'No Master, but he is my son, and I do not wish him to be sent out to DIE' Anakin thundered.
'Then take the Trials, young Luke will and if he passes, to Caroon he shall go!'
'Master, he is reckless, young and most of all, inexperienced'
'Too few of us are there, Anakin'
Anakin hated the feeling of helplessness that was beginning to overcome him. He closed his eyes. *Someday you'll thank me for this Luke*
'Then, I will go Master'
'Discuss this with the Council, I must', and with that, Yoda's presence disappeared from his mind.
Anakin opened his eyes and looked at his eldest son. Luke was counting how many artificial raindrops had splattered the holo image that simulated a window's effect and trying his best not to draw his father's attention.
"Luke", Anakin was surprised at the deer-caught-in-the-headlights look that Luke turned his way.
*Have I really been that cruel and cold so many times, that my own son looks at me like one of the frightened young padawans?* His composure wavered for a moment, then he collected himself.
*Of course he thinks of you that way, you fool. Don't you remember asking him not to call you, "father", at the temple?*
"Luke, the Council has agreed that you will be taking the Trials soon", he gave him the good news first.
Luke grinned at him. *See Luke, maybe all the old man wanted was to congratulate you!*
Anakin watched his son's beaming face. *Here come's the sucker punch*, he thought. "Personally though, I think you aren't ready to take the Trials", Anakin hated being a parent.
Luke froze. For a long moment they both stared at each other. Finally, " Wh.Why?" he stammered.
"You're too young and inexperienced. Besides, not many of your friends are taking it", he explained.
"But, Jean, Rac and Ky are all takin."
"I mean friends, your OWN age, Luke. Besides, you didn't do too well at the lightsaber challenge, a year ago. You should take the Trials a few years later, to avoid disappointment
"Why can't you ever be proud of me, huh? Other parents would be ecstatic to have their son take the Trials at sixteen.but you..you", he stuttered with barely restrained anger and stood to leave the study.
Anakin just used the Force to restrain his son and when insults began to fill the air, he silenced his vocal chords. He told himself that the boy was too distraught to comprehend what he was saying, but deep down, some of those insults had drawn blood.
