A/N: Hey guys! OMG! I'm so sorry for taking SO long with this update. School and Taekwondo kinda caught up to me…and yes there was Darth Laziness. But anyways here is the next chapter!

Shoutouts: dmitchell: Yea but I suppose it would have been hard for them since Palpatine is such a sinister Sith Lord.

Padmepotter: Thanks :)

Lilbuny/Ankakinsangel4evr:Yea…I just thought the songs a little something to the chapters :) I totally love the song Wake Me Up When September Ends too! Oh and don't worry Obi-Wan will get his fare share of stressing out :)

lionqueen141: Well supposedly Obi-an doesn't get that…lol.

AnimeOnna: Update? Alright here it is :)

Anakin scrutinized the indictors on the dash board as the system went through the flight-check procedures. He gave Sam, who was sitting beside him, a sidelong glance before returning his gaze to the dash board. "Flight-check is complete. We are ready for take off" Anakin announces as the last blinking light turned green.

"Take off then, Kid."

Anakin looked at Sam quizzically. "Isn't my master coming?"

"No. He will join us later" was the man's cool reply.

Anakin was brimming with curiosity but withheld his questions until later.

"Obi-Wan, wait!" Annaline panted as she struggled to keep up with Obi-Wan. He halted in the shadow of what was known as the Four Corner Skyscrapers, four tall structures whose sides were connected. He peered up, craning his neck, and then stared ahead of himself at the shinny durasteal wall of one of the skyscrapers.

"Obi-Wan what's going on?" Annaline asked, halting at his side.

"Anakin's Force signature is coming from in there" Obi-Wan said pointing at the wall of the humongous structure in front of them. "We must be close now because I can feel his presents again."

"In there?" Annaline asked, considering the tower. "But isn't this place empty. I thought the producers of the project sold it but whoever it was sold to never did anything with the place. The only thing that was finished here, to my knowledge, is a launch platform in the center of the four skyscrapers. I never heard of anyone using it though. What is Anakin doing here and how did he get in in the first place?"

Obi-Wan nodded thoughtfully. Then a look of realization crossed his face and he took off running, swiping out his lightsaber before he even reached the wall.

Annaline sprinted after him and started to help Obi-Wan cut through the durasteal wall of the skyscraper. "Explain" she panted as they finally made a large enough opening to climb through.

"Three" Obi-Wan stated.

"Three?"

"Three levels to get to the platform" he said before starting to ascend the rocking staircase.

Anakin lifted the ship off the ground and let it hover a few feet in the air. "Coordinates please" Anakin said feeling very important. He was given the information and the young pilot set their course. "Starting initial countdown." Anakin grinned inwardly. The initial countdown wasn't a necessity usually but he was enjoying the game of pretending to be a star fighter pilot. "Ten…nine…eight…"

"Someone is trying to hide Anakin's presents from us" Obi-Wan explained as he and Annaline raced up to the third level. "That's why it was so hard to locate him without the bond."

They stopped at the durasteal door on the third level that lead to the launch platform. "Engines. Can you hear them?" Annaline asked looking at Obi-Wan speculatively. "It sounds like a small star fighter."

"Yes, I hear them."

"Obi-Wan, can Anakin hide his own presents yet?"

"His mental shields are strong for someone his age and experience, or lack of, but I doubt that he can do it that well. Wait…where are you going with this?"

"Obi-Wan think. Anakin's here right? Someone is hiding his presents from us. This someone has to be a Force user, a rather powerful one I'd say. Someone who doesn't want us to find him."

"But who…?"

"Always two there are, the master and the apprentice."

The words that Obi-Wan had overheard Yoda saying to Mace Windu at Qui-Gon's funeral floated to the front of his mind. This was the one time that Obi-Wan was grateful for Anakin's vast knowledge, not to mention frequent use, of Hutties profanity because at the moment it came in handy.

"Five…four…three…" Anakin watched the blinking countdown consol and announced each number in turn.

Anakin wondered about the future and felt fidgety with excitement and anxiety. Nothing had gone as expected ever since he left Tatooine. But maybe now he could get to do all the things he always wanted to.

He hadn't herd much of the Sith but couldn't quite understand why the Jedi were so paranoid about them. At least they didn't seem prone on meditating all the time like Obi-Wan. Sometimes Obi-Wan would just sit him down in the living room and tell him that that night's training would be to meditate for a couple of hours. He still wasn't good enough at it and kept slipping in and out of concentration. The exercise quickly grew to be his worst enemy. He just couldn't loose himself in the Force yet like Obi-Wan did. But after a few times of rebukes Anakin learned to not interrupt Obi-Wan during the "meditative period" of the day and then to take his lectures calmly.

The thought of Obi-Wan stung, smothering his excitement slightly. He had really wanted to be Obi-Wan's friend. Really wanted to make him proud… "Two…one…lift off!"

Anakin shook himself mentally as the ship blasted up through the levels of Coruscant and into the atmosphere. He never saw Obi-Wan leaning out of the firth level window opening as he threw a homing devise at the rapidly rising ship with a desperate hope that he might be able to track down his padawan in the vast galaxy.

"All that you made
That you lost
Or threw away
Traded in for a brand new life
But I can't
Can't let go"
