Chapter Two: Are We Still Around?

"Well, um, yeah, I married Padme."

"You broke the Jedi Code? You lied to us?"

"I'm sorry," Anakin said hanging his head.

Suddenly, Obi-Wan appeared next to them.

"What? What's going on?"

"Master! Anakin married Senator Amidala!"

And silence overcame the room. Obi-Wan stared at his young apprentice, stunned. Tiilaa was glaring at Anakin, and Anakin was staring at the floor.

Luke watched this with amazement, and a little guilt. He'd gotten his father in trouble! Well how was he to know that Jedi weren't supposed to marry?

"Who's this?" Obi-Wan asked, noticing Luke.

Luke didn't know if he should tell him that he was Anakin's son. He'd gotten his father in enough trouble for one day! But Tiilaa wasn't going to let anything get passed Obi-Wan.

"That's Luke Skywalker. He's Anakin's son!

"Anakin's son!"

"In the future," Luke added.

"We're in the future?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Yeah," Tiilaa said. "I wonder if we're still around in the future? Are we, Luke?"

Luke didn't know how he was going to say this. Well, they might as well know everything.

"Um, well, I don't know about you, Tiilaa. I've never even heard of you."

"Anakin, you weren't planning to ever tell him about us?"

"I didn't even know that I was going to have a child! Give me a brake!"

"What about Obi-Wan, Luke? And Anakin? Are they still around?"

"Well, Obi-Wan, uh, he was killed a few years ago."

"What! Who killed him?" Anakin yelled.

"That's the bad part."

"What do you mean?" Tiilaa asked. She wasn't liking the future.

"Uh, Vader killed him."

Luke just couldn't bring himself to tell these people that Vader was Anakin, his father. He wasn't ready to face the truth yet.

"Who's Vader?" Anakin asked.

"He's………… uh…….. my……. I don't know!"

"You don't know, or you don't want to know?" Obi-Wan asked.

"I don't want to!" Luke cried.

"Hay! Calm down!" Anakin rushed to Luke's side to comfort him. His son.

It took Luke a while to stop crying. The universe hated him! They made his father an evil sith, and now he was going to have to admit that to these three Jedi. Including his father before he turned to the dark side! This was NOT his day!

"Hay, it's alright," Anakin soothed. They were sitting down on the floor now, Anakin's arm around Luke, and Luke cradling his head in his hands.

"If you just tell us what this is all about, I'm sure you'll feel a lot better."

"Okay, here it goes," Luke said. "Anakin is still alive in the future. But he's turned to the Dark Side, and has changed his name to Darth Vader!"
