-1What if some of the padawan got out of the Jedi Temple when Anakin was attacked? How did they get away? Where did they go? Will they survive in a place they are not liked? And when the time comes will they be able to help to change the views of others?

Chapter 2
The Festival

It had been many years since I had seen Anakin do that terrible act and turn to the dark side. And since then many of the younglings had died because we were hunted. When they had come to my plant we fled trying to protect my people but about six died trying to give the rest of us the way to get away. I tried to stay and help but was push onto the ship, and told I was the only one that could get the others away.

As I got the ship up off the ground I looked out of the window and said 'I sorry I couldn't keep you six safe too.' As we flew I tried to think of a place to go. We had gone to a plant that was Naboo I know that a friend to Jedi had once lived here many year ago but I wasn't sure if we were still welcome. I had not to much worry in getting on the plant. When we were on the last plant we got our names changed and had worked remembering who was who. We had even given a fails title of what we did. Getting off the ship I tell the others to stay on.

A man stepped forward and said "What is your name and pupas on this plant?"

I stepped forward and said "My name is Sarda and my crew and I are performers. We've stopped to buy a new ship this one has seen better days and we would like to get another. "

"We'll get you a ship if you perform for our festival in two days."

I smile at this before saying "It's a little off of our schedule but I think we can squeeze in one more show." I motion the others to get off.

I talked with the man about things that we needed, like place to stay and what we wanted in credits. It was easy to get enough to last us a few mouths with fuel stops. I turn and walk back to the ship and put in a code for the ship so it wont open unless by me.

"Keep on your guard they may not be hunting us but we could be called out, and no fighting if we can help it."

"Yes master." They said.

We had the pleaser of performing at the festival of light at the capital with nothing out of the ordinary happing. There was dancing, drinking and eating everywhere. I had never been to a festival like this one. In the time we played on the first day I learn that this festival lasted for three days. And I was even graced with seeing an old friend of master Obi-wan's and Anakin's.

Jar-jar walks up and says "Mesa hasn't heard music like that in years."

I smile "It was here that I learned. I was really young no more then nine at the time. And I stayed here till I was ten. I remember you even though you were not as popular or as wise as I remember."

"Mesa member lots people in mesa years on and of plant and mesa have remembered you if you learned to play like that." He said as we sat down in a secluded place.

"Oh and I remember before the empire when you were on the council with Kanda Padme." I replied. (Kanda is a sign of respect on Sarda's plant.)

"Padme, Yousa is remembering her?" he said looking at me "Yousa to young yousa only eighteen maybe. Yousa not born, empire around many years before yousa born. And Padme died years too."

"I may look young but I am quit old really. I'm Natachi my people age slowly."

"Natachi mesa heard of you. Yousa live forever."

"No, we do not forever just longer then others."

"Yousa said yousa know me but I don't know yousa."

"I was at one point a Jedi aspirants to Kanda Master Mace Windu before he died I along with a lot of my crew lived at the Jedi temple before it was attacked and I once protected you when you were on the council eighteen years ago. I was one of the padawans that trained along with Anakin."

"Ani's not Ani any more. Hesa Darth Vader now, very sad very, very sad."

"I know Anakin went bad I was there when he killed so many people we know, ones I grew up with and then he just killed them without even blinking. He was heartless. I just wish he could have been the one that my master had talked about the one to bring balance." I look at him before getting up bow and say "I mustn't keep you any longer Kanda Jar-jar."

I walk away swiftly not looking back at the man I had been talking to. I quickly changed my thoughts to my crew even though they were all grown I was still there leader even after eighteen years and many not surviving under my command I still had to be a good leader and be were I say when I say. Later I know I would have talk with Kanda Jar-jar. I know I would have to ask him about things that went on around the time the temple was destroyed.

The next day I found out where Jar-jar was staying during the celebration and I went to talk to him one last time before we went to Tattoine. I had made my way through the complex till I found the right door.

"Is Kanda Jar-jar in?" I ask the boy outside the open door.

"What is your business with the master Jar-jar?" he asked harshly.

"It'sa okay shesa old friend" Jar-jar said coming closer.

"Yes." the boy said.

"Come in."

"I would like to know some things." I said as we sat.

"Mesa will tell you what mesa know but lots mesa don't believing is true though." He said before telling me the events he had witnessed or had heard.
