A/N: Okay...I didn't even realize that this was going to be the last chapter until I finished the other one, so I apologize for the short notice, and I hope that the ending doesn't seem rushed. I also want to add two things: first, thanks to all who reviewed, and secondly, I do not intend to write a sequel. I hope that you all enjoy this. ; )

But Obi-Wan decided to check his hologram before he went to bed, just in case a Jedi might have sent him a message, would obviously be of great importance.

He switched it on and Mace's message instantly flickered to life.

"Greetings, Obi-Wan; while you have been on Nar Shaddaa, the remnants of the Jedi, including myself, have journeyed to Talravin, home of the famed Jedi Bastila Shan. We have gathered here to regroup and strengthen our forces, so that when the time comes we will be able to overthrow Palpatine and restore order to the galaxy; though I doubt things will return back to the way they were. I have contacted you, for the time has come for you to join us; many Padawans here have lost their Masters, and we need Jedi like you to guide them in the ways of the Force. When you receive this message, I urge you to join us as soon as possible. We are waiting."

The image flickered away, leaving Obi-Wan staring at a less than spectacular wall.

He knew what he had to do; delaying wasn't an option. He would have to set out for Talravin that night; he knew that Padmé would be saddened by his departure, but the Jedi came first, as he had already told her. He silently recalled the incident. They were sitting across from each other in a diner, when she had asked him what he would do if he was summoned by the Jedi.

"If they call, then I will go."

He had answered that question easily, now he wondered if Padmé would be alright. "Of course she will! You have taught her how to use a lightsaber; she is even becoming attuned to the force. She will be able to protect herself," he thought.

He decided to not think about saying goodbye to Padmé until the very moment came. He began to pack his belongings; he would have to get off of the moon as soon as possible.

After he had finished packing, he headed over to Padmé's quarters. Saying goodbye wouldn't be easy.

He knocked on her door and only had to wait for a few minutes before it slid open and Padmé was standing there. She wasn't dressed for bedtime as Obi-Wan had thought. In fact, she hadn't changed her outfit at all.

"What can I do for you, Obi-Wan?" she asked casually, stepping aside so that he could enter.

Obi-Wan shook his head. "No, I don't mean to come in…I don't even mean to stay long."

Padmé frowned when her eyes fell on the duffel bag that was slung over his shoulder. "Are you leaving?" she asked, her voice came out a little shaky.

"Yes," Obi-Wan conceded. "The Jedi have called me; I'm to go to Talravin to help them continue the training of the young Padawans who have lost their Masters."

Padmé bit her lip. "And I'm not to go with you," she finished.

Obi-Wan was silent for a moment; even though Mace hadn't even mentioned Padmé in the hologram, he was certain that the Jedi Master hadn't intended for her to accompany him.

"I have taught you enough to make you capable of defending yourself. I will return, if it is the path that the Force has set out for me. Until then, I'm afraid that this is goodbye."

Padmé was too stunned and upset to say anything. She just nodded, mumbled a few words and slid the door shut again.

As Obi-Wan walked off, he already regretted not allowing her to join him; he kept trying to convince himself that it was for the best, even though he still felt convicted.

It didn't take him long to approach the ship hangar. In the short time that he and Padmé had been on Nar Shaddaa, they were able to purchase a small ship for a reasonable price. Obi-Wan was glad that they decided to do this.

Just as he was about to open the hangar door, which led to their ship which they named the Blue Star, he heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw Padmé running towards him.

She had only packed a few belongings, but she made sure that she brought the lightsaber with her.

"Padmé, what are you doing here?" Obi-Wan asked; he was relieved to know that she was joining him after all.

"You would be making a mistake if you didn't allow me to come with you; I could let you make that mistake…Master Kenobi."

Obi-Wan smiled; he was very happy that she had disobeyed him.

"Alright, we don't have any time to waste; let's set out for Talravin."

Padmé smiled and followed him into the ship. "Talravin it is."

To Obi-Wan it was bittersweet. He had lost Anakin to the dark side, but yet he had found another potential Jedi—Anakin's wife. As they sped out towards Talravin, Obi-Wan wondered what the future had in store for them.

THE END
