Chapter 4
A place to call home.
Shawn was led to a small house.
It was small but cosy.
Shawn noticed a pile of robot parts.
He turned to Akakin, 'Are you building a robot?'
''Yes,'' Anakin said, ''I am building it so my mom has help at home.''
Shawn and Anakin talked until nightfall, then Anakin's mother came to tell that Anakin needed to go to bed.
As they went inside the house, Shawn remembered something.
''Tell me who was that creature I fought?''
'' You battled my boss; Watto.''
''YOUR BOSS??!''
''Yes, he is,'' Anakin told Shawn, ''and now he is going to make life a lot harder for me.''
Shawn went on his knees to level his eyes with Anakin's eyes and held his arms.
''No, he is not going to harm you, in any way.''
Anakin looked alarmed, ''But you can't fight him, you don't have weapons and that fireball trick isn't going take him by surprise a second time.''
Shawn smiled,'' I am not going to fight him, but I will keep on eye on you.''
'' Ooh.''
Shawn continued; '' as for my weapons and special abilities, I still have some tricks up my sleeve, for now do not worry and go to sleep.''
''But....''
''Sleep.''
When Anakin slept, Shawn walked outside and gazed at the stars.
it reminded him of the pioneer, he wondered if his disappearing has already has been discovered, or if other people from his world came to this universe.
A voice stopped his thinking.
''Anakin thinks your very special.''
Shawn turned to face Anakin's mother.
''I know,'' he replied,' I don't know why he and you trust me, a complete stranger.''
She smiled ,''Anakin always has had a special 'talent' for trusting people.''
''Oh really.''
''Yes, it never let him down.before.''
'' And he is quite a skilled engineer, from what I have seen, by the way what is this pod "
''A pod is a vehicle used in races like the Boonta Eve Classic.''
Shawn noticed she started sobbing, ''Are you alright?''
''Yes,'' she sobbed, ''It's just that in these races some of the drivers are killed.''
''And you are afraid that it could be Anakin, if he entered,'' Shawn concluded.
She could only nod..
Suddenly Shawn's mag beeped and Shawn turned..
''Anakin, come here.''
Anakin looked shocked, it looked like he thought nobody saw or heard him.
''I wondered what your name was.''
Shawn smiled, ''sure, but you right , both of you do not know my name.''
''What is your name then?'' Anakin asked.
''It's.....'' Shawn said.before he got interupted.
the said interuption came from a creature, who walked in uninvited.
Shawn had never seen something like it.
It walked on his hands and used it's feet as hands.
It said something to Anakin and his mother Shawn couldn't understand.
Shawns mag entered translation mode.
Anakin's mother hissed an answer,but this time Shawn heard it.
''HE IS NOT MY LOVER!!!!!''
Shawn thought it was best to pretend he did not hear the conversation.
He asked, ''who are you?''
The creature laughed and then said in english, ''I am the great Sebulba, Winner of this years Boonta Eve Classic podrace.''
Shawn smirked and replied, ''you are too confident, that will most likely be your downfall.''
Sebulba looked like he was going to explode.
''You don't know to who you are talking.''
''You are right, I don't know you.''
Sebulba was very angery by now.
''You are going to regret this talk.''
Sebulba left, but not before saying ''Nice pod, kid .''
''What did he mean by that?'' Shawn wondered.
Anakin paled and muttered, ''oh no.''
Anakin ran towards the place he stored his pod.
Shawn followed to only see the destroyed remains of Anakins pod..
Shawn placed his hands on Anakins shoulders.
''I will repair it, while you work, ok?''
''I guess.''
''Let's go''
Shawn led Anakin back to the house.
As Anakin entered his bedroom, Shawn said, ''By the way, my name is Shawn''
Anakin turned and hugged him.
''Thank you, Shawn.''
''For what?''
''for giving me hope.''
by the way
Does anybody know the name of Anakin's mother??
