Chapter 1
10 years later
Qui gon walked down the corridor next to Jedi Master Turut Mi. He didn't feel warm feelings for the trade federation, they were cowards only interested in profits, but the negotiations should be short. At least he hoped so as he wished to continue his search for Obi Wan. It had been ten years, but Qui gon still hoped that he would someday find Obi Wan again. He just wanted this mission over with quickly.
Obi Wan looked out at the sand. It was going to take him forever to lug the useable parts from the ship to Watto's junkyard. But what could he do? He was a slave, bound by the rules his master set him. 10 years ago he was knocked unconscious aboard his ship and sold into slavery. If it hadn't been due to the fact that they had placed a force inhibitor round his wrist he would have gotten out. Unable to contact the Jedi, or anyone friendly to the republic he had been stranded on this wasteland planet. Alone and friendless and on the lowest scale of the social order. If it hadn't been for the help of a petite brunette he didn't know what he could have done. She had taken him under her wing and looked after him, teaching him how to survive. In return he looked after her, during her pregnancy and her giving birth, looking after both her and the boy until she died a couple of years ago in a speeder accident. Since that day he had been Anakin's only support. They worked together as a team to survive. Anakin calling him Uncle Obi, and being like brothers. They didn't know it but a training bond had unknowingly formed between the both of them.
Obi Wan had known from the time Anakin was still in his mothers womb that he was strong with the force. As a babe he sent telepathic images to his mother and Obi Wan as to why he was crying. As a toddler he was lifting up blocks and stacking them. His reflexes were phenomenal. Obi Wan had taken it upon himself to train Anakin in the Jedi arts, knowing that the boy would be dangerous if he didn't learn to control his powers. Anakin was a good student, once Obi Wan had persuaded him that, actually sitting still and meditating was good for developing skills. Anakin could already hear the force talking to him and respond, and Obi Wan had finally managed to get him to sit still for an hour at a time. Anakin's memory was such that he only needed to be shown something once and he could do it. In sabre practice Anakin was already pushing Obi Wan to try harder, and was on the way to making his first sabre. Due to his connection with the force, Anakin could easily have become arrogant without guidance from the force, but he was a generous helpful little boy that knew his weaknesses and strengths. Obi Wan was often sad that Anakin was not trained by the Jedi but at least he was getting some training, and he was already well above his level of knowledge, he knew about things that someone twice his age didn't know. Obi Wan didn't know what he would have done if it hadn't been for Anakin. He made the days bearable, and gave him a reason to get up in the morning.
Picking up the workable parts, Obi Wan started to the junkyard. If he got moving he might be able to get home in time before Anakin went to bed. Maybe.
Might not be able to update as much for a while, but will try.
