Yay! Today is my brithday and all so I've decided to update!
"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life; That word is love."
-Sophocles
It was night right now on Naboo, the ship than landed outside of Padme's home. Thanks goodness for her popular career, it had given her a lot of financial advantages, although Padme didn't go into the jobs for them. Her Naboo Retreat was more of a vacation spot, and Padme had often stayed in apartments and hotels on the business trips. This place had brought back so many memories for her and Anakin.
The group then walked into Padme's house as she started talking about how she forgot to clean it and all, the house looked spotless actually. Padme then told everyone to help themselves to anything and that they could stay overnight. Obi Wan then declined, but with the urging of Anakin decided to stay.
"I'll need to make a full report outside, please excuse me," Obi Wan said stepping outside.
"I need to get some fresh air..." Luke said randomly, wanting to go outside, the Naboo retreat was beautiful too.
"Oh alright, don't get lost though." Padme smiled. "I'm going t go upstairs, I have a really bad headache."
Anakin went upstairs and found Padme on the balcony looking out into space. Anakin stood at the doorway and smiled, he then sat down next to Padme.
"Ani, I missed you." Padme said hugging Anakin.
"This war will be over soon." Anakin said kissing her. "Then we can spend more time together...Maybe even start a whole new life"
"I hope so." Padme said as she kissed Anakin. "But as long as you're a Jedi, that's never going to happen."
"It just might..." Anakin said as he and Padme kissed each other.
"...and so we think that the Chancellor and Count Dooku are working together." Obi Wan concluded to the hologram of Mace Windu.
"Alright then, continue your search. We'll need more proof if we are to prove this to the courts, which are in Palpatine's control." Mace said. "May the Force be with you."
Obi Wan nodded and bowed as Mace's hologram disappeared. Now time to head back to the estate. Obi-Wan then took out his binoculars, and scanned the place for probes, since he had a feeling that there where some earlier. Only instead of finding probes, Obi Wan accidentally found...well...Padme and Anakin kissing on the balcony.
I saw nothing, I saw nothing, I saw nothing! Obi Thought, he knew this was going to happen, just he never knew he'd witness it. What was Anakin thinking? Oh right, we wasn't thinking...much. Got to talk to him later...Or now would be great too...
"Anakin, may I see you outside...now?" Obi-Wan asked through his commlink as it replied, Yes, Master.
Luke then walked west towards the estate, where sure enough, he found Obi Wan and Anakin behind some tress and bushes, Luke couldn't help, but eavesdrop on their conversation. Anakin was standing next to Obi Wan looking very nervous and flustered while Obi Wan seemed more concerned.
"Master, what is it?" Anakin asked calmly. Had Obi-Wan figured out their secret?
"Unbelievable..." Obi Wan muttered, then asked, "Are you having an affair with a certain senator?"
"WHAT!" Anakin blurted out, this was totally unexpected. Fear and doubt started to surround him.
"I'm just asking, Anakin, even though I know the truth already, you don't have to admit it yourself." Obi-Wan added.
"You're not going to tell the council are you?" Anakin said weakly.
"I seriously don't know Anakin, but I can't keep you and Padme's relationship safe from public and anyone's view forever you know?" Obi Wan pointed out.
"Yes, I know" Anakin said, there goes his hopes and dreams of becoming a Jedi Master. Why is everything always so unfair?
"I always knew this was bond to happen, always, just had to keep quiet about it, because it was only a suspicion."
"How long have you known?"
"Since the first time you two met on Tatooine years ago."
"Was it that obvious?"
"Oh yes it was, are you guys..."
"Married? Yes...shortly after the Battle of Genois,"
"Anakin! Do you have any idea what could happen if anyone found out? You're putting yours and Padme's life in danger here!"
"You're not going to tell anyone are you? You've known for all of these years, and you haven't' told anyone! And I can protect her from any harm!"
"You two are separated more than ever..."
"Am I going to get kicked out of the order?." There goes my Council position...Any hope of being a Jedi Master.
silence
"Maybe, Maybe not, it depends..."
"Obi Wan, please don'," What am I saying? Anakin thought, would I rather be a Jedi Master than be with Padme?
"Yeah, I just sometimes, I wish I can change the Code, I finally found someone I love dearly and would give up my life for, and then I find out I can't be with her..." Anakin said sadly.
"That is another one of the obstacles of being a Jedi, controlling your emotions. It's for your own safety of not going all Sith on us,"
"That's never going to happen," Anakin said.
"No matter what happens, I will always be there for you Anakin, never forget that,"
Anakin then turned around and Left, he was still feeling a but mad about this whole thing, not to mention worried. Anakin then took a few deep breaths and calmed down. Luke then hurried back to the house and took the backdoor in.
Anakin came back into the living room and was greeted by Padme running up to him.
"Ani! What is it?" Padme said worriedly seeing worry in Anakin's eyes.
"He knows..."
"Well he did see us, what did he say?"
"He knew about it for a while, just kept quiet..."
"Was it that obvious?"
"According to him it was,"
Padme then hugged Anakin tightly. Padme had personally trusted Obi Wan, but Anakin had his doubts, very little ones too. Padme didn't want to put Anakin in anymore danger. If this got out to the public, think news reports 24-7, and zero privacy and questioning. Padme didn't want that to happen. Not to mention their enemies might try to kill on or the other.
"Ani--it's ok..." Padme said dryly trying to convince Anakin. "He'd never tell anyone,"
"I wish it was that easy to believe..." Anakin said as he leaned over and kissed Padme. "I love you, and that will never change."
That night, Luke had trouble sleeping, it wasn't the uncomfortable couch, or the stress and shock. It was his dreams...
Dream
Luke's spirit seemed to have drifted away from his body-an astral projection. He was now entering the doors of dreams and visions. Luke walked through the doors that said, Welcome, please enjoy your stay. Luke thought the sign was a bit much.
"I hope your day was well?" A man with kind eyes greeted Luke, it was no other than Qui Gon.
"Have we met before?" Luke said, then thinking for a bit he added, "You seem really familiar..."
"Yes, we've met before. Luke, I'm here to guide you and let you communicate with Han and Leia as promised." Qui Gon said walking to the end of the hallway.
"Wait!" Luke said running after Qui Gon.
Luke then was faced with a set of what happened to be two doors.
"Each door reveals something that you missed, want to see and you'll get to communicate with Han and Leia once again." Qui Gon said. "Choose one for now,"
"But isn't that kind of breaking the rules? Knowing the future can lead to the dark side because of what we fear, like what happened to Dad."
"I call it bending the rules, and these are just predictions so far of what are going to happen, they rarely will have a chance of letting this happening."
"This is crazy," Luke said as he opened the first door. Luke found him and Qui Gon inside the Millennium Falcon with Han and Leia. Leia was sitting on the co pilots chair her heads in her hands and looking worried, as almost if in tears. Han was pacing around the room like crazy and kicked the wall.
"Han! We have to get help! And find Luke!" Leia said.
"Don't you think I know that!" Han nearly yelled. "What the heck happened to that kid? He was alright and now he's just gone!"
"It could be black hole..." Leia said. "I mean I know those are said to not exist anymore and all, and we do have safety precisions for them, but it could be possible..."
"You're telling me, that kid ran into a giant hole of mass and gravity?"
"It seems so...I jut can't imagine what would happen to him..."
"Ok, one problem at a time," Han said. "We're stranded here...in the middle of space for one, our friend just disappeared and then now what?"
"Your friend is alright..." A stranger said. "I'm a messenger for him, name's Qui-Gon,"
"Ah!" How did you get here?" Han said.
"You can communicate with him through astral projection or in your dreams, I'll show you how to later" He said as he disappeared and the ship started to run again.
"Whoa...what happened?" Han asked.
"I think he did something to our ship to make it run again..." Leia said, also surprised.
"Let's get back to Corellia then, then we'll figure what happened and all with Luke,"
Luke was then faced with the doors again, only this time own of them disappeared.
"You didn't...Stop our ship...did you?" Luke said.
"Why would I?" Qui Gon said, Luke was having trouble telling if he was lying or not.
Luke then opened another door, and was faced with Leia and Han.
"Luke!" Leia said as she hugged him, the touch seemed so real...
"Are you alright?" Han asked.
"Yes, I think I am..." Luke said. "So where are you guys and what did I miss?"
"We're in Corellia right now, we tried to communicate you and all with the help of Qui-Gon." Leia said. "He trained Obi Wan too."
"Yeah, I figured just as much," Luke said.
"Well, our ship broke down, you fell into a black hole supposedly, we met Qui-Gon of a brief minute or two and our ship was back, we then went to Corellia." Han continued.
"Luke! Where are you?" Leia asked, "Qui Gon said that you where about thirty years into the past!"
"Well the question most likely would be...when are you. I'm exactly and about twenty five years into the past."
"Is mom and dad alive?" Leia asked curiously.
"Yes, and Obi Wan just found out about their relationship."
"Wow, they are bad at hiding their feelings then."
"Yeah, you look a lot like mom too..."
"Thanks, are you and everyone who's there getting along?"
"I think that dad kind of doesn't trust me, Obi Wan does kind of and mom is in the middle."
"That's a good start..."
The three then engaged into a really long conversation and reunion in a way.
