"What do they want?" He asked, still walking forward.
"I am not supposed to tell you, but the council has decided to grant you and Adeana the rank of Jedi Knight." Obi-Wan said, just as happy as his padawan.
"Why?" Anakin asked incredulously, stopping in his tracks.
"Because of the great job you did on Naboo." Obi-Wan said.
Anakin started walking again, a frown of puzzlement on his face.
"But that was over three days ago!"
"I know, the council was not sure weather or not to grant my request at first."
"Your request? I thought only the masters could request their padawan's up ranking. You didn't request Adeana did you?" Anakin asked.
"No, Mace Windu did that."
They both stopped before the door to the chamber, waiting for Adeana to come. They did not have to wait long, she arrived soon after they did, her face clear of all emotion, but through the emotional bond he shared with her Anakin could sense the confusion with in her.
He cast a confident smile her way, trying to banish any fear she might have. She smiled back, even if hers was a little shakier than his. They had not been able to be with each other over that three days, but they still loved each other, as strongly as the day that they had first proclaimed their love for each other.
The door opened on it's own accord and the three walked in, Obi-Wan going straight to his seat with in the council chamber, Anakin and Adeana standing in the center of the large room, facing the more senior members.
Yoda sat with his stick held in his hands, looking at the two padawans in interest. The council chamber was quiet for a moment, a moment that was felt like a millennium to Anakin.
"Happy, I am, to see you hear." Yoda said, talking to both of them.
Anakin and Adeana bowed as was expected of them, both knowing the seriousness of this moment.
"Accepted, the council has." Yoda continued. "Jedi Knights, you are both to become."
Adeana was visibly surprised, while Anakin's heart only beat faster.
"Th-thank you master." Adeana said, bowing.
Anakin did the same, feeling pride not just in himself but in Adeana.
"Will the former masters step forward and do the traditional severing of the padawan braid." An alien Anakin did not personally know said.
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu stood as one and walked over to their former padawans, drawing their lightsabers as they did so. Anakin and Adeana stood stock still as Obi-Wan and Mace activated their lightsabers and with expert flicks cut the braids off with in millimeters of the padawans heads. Bending down Obi-Wan took Anakin's braid and handed it to the now Jedi Knight, as did Mace with Adeana.
The two newly appointed Knights bowed again.
"Dismissed, you may be." Yoda said.
Anakin and Adeana walked out of the council chamber, each beaming at the other. Once they were a safe distance away from the door Anakin swept Adeana up into his arms and twirled around happily, both laughing in joy. Anakin set Adeana down and looked down at her, his cheeks starting to turn sore from all the smiling. They just stood there, smiling at each other for some time, each thinking their own thoughts.
