Author - Anakin Skywalker 2005

Note 31:
Cliegg,

Well Anakin said that the guy (his name is Qui-Gon Jinn) is a Jedi Knight because he saw the man's…what do you call it…Anakin called it a laser sword, but I know that's not the name of it…whatever it is….weapon. He also told me that Qui-Gon told him that he was a Jedi.

Well I said I forgave you, and I meant it….it's just that I want the best for Anakin….I love him so much….and I want him to become something great…and I know he could become something great…but Anakin will always be a slave…and that upsets me. Yes, it is your fault….but it is also reality…so there is nothing either of us could ever do that will change Anakin's future.

Anakin has fully recovered now, but the doctor told him that he had to be really careful about his asthma for the next week because it could act up on him more than it normally would.

The guests seem to be nice. They ate with me.

Do I know why Anakin wants to be a Jedi Knight? No…I guess he just has a passion for it. I guess he's heard a lot of stories about the Jedi, and he regards them highly. Anything would sound better to a boy who's grown up as a slave. He probably just thinks they're the greatest things in the galaxy. He's very interested in it…..and like I said, I'm pretty sure he's Force Sensitive, which means he would have the necessary skills for it.

Now I need to tell you something. Anakin's going to be racing tomorrow…Watto didn't schedule him to race, but Qui-Gon and the others needed money to buy a part for the ship they need. Anakin wants to race for them and win so that he can give the winnings to them so that they could have the part for the ship. I'm very worried….I die every time Watto makes Anakin do it…but this time Anakin's doing it of his own free will. I don't want Anakin to race, but I know that we have no other choice. I'm going to have to allow him to race…..because I think that Anakin is a very special boy…and he couldn't help by just sitting there. Even though I many not like it, I think he was meant to help them.

I will keep you updated on what happens.
