He fell towards the ground and saw as the portal above him closed. He was in a puddle and now his Jedi robes were wet. He was just observing his surroundings, when someone shouted at him,

"HEY, GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

A man passing by yelled at him. He quickly moved out the way as the man sped walked past him. He looked around and everything looked and seemed very unfamiliar to him, nothing he saw looked familiar to him. Such as the speeders that were passing by all had wheels and were touching the ground. None of the signs were in letters he recognized.

He asked a man passing by, "Excuse me, sir, what system is this?" The man looked confused, and seemed like he was struggling to answer. So Anakin simplified the question more, "What planet are we on." the man started to laugh and said, "That's a good joke" and walked away.

Anakin was confused why couldn't that man just answer his question. So he asked someone else, but nobody seemed to answer him. Why was this location so secretive? Finally, a little boy answered him, but Anakin wasn't sure if the little boy was sure. The little boy had mentioned the name o Earth. He thought someone was playing a prank on him, maybe it was his cousin Ben.

He tried reaching out to Jacen and Jania through the force, but couldn't seem to feel anything. That had never happened to him before. Communicating with his siblings through the force had always come to him as second nature, why could he not feel them. Where was he, and how could he get back home? He really needed to see his parents and explain his actions back on Baanu Raas. He just wanted to destroy that machine, he didn't think much of the consequences. He had no idea where he was, but he had a feeling he was far from his home.

3 Months Later…

The last three months had gone in a flash. He couldn't understand where he was but he knew there was no way off of this planet. He casually asked someone if there was a ship that could take him to space, but they looked at him like he had two heads. He figured he was just going have to wait till someone came back for him. Mostly likely his father would come with Chewbacca….Oh wait, not him anymore, but maybe with his mother or brother. But he knew they would come eventually.

The last three months he lived in the park around the block, he didn't have any credits, or as they call it here, dollars. He found himself doing things that his parents always asked him not to do, but he was just so hungry and couldn't find a way to buy something to eat or drink. So he did what he had to do to eat and stole food from local salers, he always made sure not to go to the same place twice.

So, today he was going to have to go for a walk about nine blocks away from the park, to go to a new seller. Well, he thought he might as well go now, since the sun was about to set. He didn't want to walk back to the park in the dark, there were fewer people out at night, and without his force ability working he wouldn't be able to sense an attack on him. When he got there he saw the most beautiful fruit he had seen. It was so red and shiny, with its steam peeking out from its top. It looks so delicious.

He was planning to get a few to last a few days, but he had to be quick about it. He looked around and saw the man that owned the shop was busy packing up a few things, before he closed. So Anakin, thought this was his chance, he grabbed about half a dozen, and hid them under his robes and slowly backed away from the stand.

Anakin thought he had succeeded in his mission. And was getting ready to bite into one of the apples, when suddenly he heard someone yelling, "Hey, you, STOP, you have to pay for those." This had never happened, Anakin didn't know what to do, try and talk his way out of it or run.

He decided to run, and sprinted back jumping over curbs, and pushing the few people out of his way. But, the owner was just right behind him. Anakin didn't release until now how much weaker and slower he was, not being able to have scheduled meals daily was finally taking its toll on him. But somehow, by luck, a vehicle got in the way of the owner, and Anakin was able to gain a few feet ahead of him, he was too busy being relieved that he didn't see the small rock on the sidewalk, and came to a crashing stop.

He tried to get up as fast as could, but the owner of the shop was now stepping on his legs, halting any movement Anakin tried making. "You owe me, you little twerk." said the owner, while balling his fist getting ready to strike Anakin.

Anakin had no idea how he was going to get out of this situation. When suddenly he heard a gentleman say, "Son, what have I told you? You have to pay first." Anakin looked around and saw it was a man with blonde hair speaking up and getting closer, he had never seen that man in his life, what was he doing.

"Sorry, Sir, how much do we owe you." the man spoke again. Anakin made eye contact with the gentleman, confusion could clearly be seen written on Anakin's face, and the man noticed he winked at him, and made a shoushing face. The owner didn't notice this exchange and instead answered, "over a buck for all the trouble he has caused." The man took out his wallet and paid the man, saying "Again, I'm sorry, I promise it won't happen again."

The owner seemed pleased and walked back. Anakin didn't know what to do now. "Umm...Thanks." Anakin said. "No problem, boy." and smiled back. "Hey, it's getting pretty late, i can walk you home to make sure that man isn't waiting around the corner, don't worry I won't tell you parents." said the man.

"Umm... no it's fine really, i can make it just around the corner.`` Anakin answered. "You sure?" the man questioned. "Yeah it's fine really...Umm well i gotta get going. But, Thanks again" Anakin rushed out. The man looked at him funny. But Anakin ignored the look and started to walk away. " Hey, I just came from the park, it looked like all the benches were taken already, so might as well take your time." The man said.

Anakin looked at him shocked, so he knew he was living in the park. "Kid, how old are you? You look too young to be living on your own." the man questioned. "Hey, don't worry about it, I'm doing just fine, I could make it on my own." Anakin answered angrily. "Hey i didn't want to offend you just wanting to offer you a meal, my wife is a great chef and she could give you a nice, warm meal." the man said. Anakin wanted to decline the offer, but a nice warm meal did sound appealing, "Sure, that would be great." he answered. The man smiled, and said, "That's great, nice to meet you… ?" Anakin answered. " OOh… Anakin. Anakin Solo, and you are." the man answered, " Joseph Rodgers, nice to meet you Anakin."
