Thanks for the review! By the way this chapter might upset a few people but DON'T PANIC! Everything turns out fine. R&R


" Ari... I need to know so much."

Ari turned her head away from the waterfall. They were on Yano. Secluded, and only Ari knew why.

" Like what?" said Ari trying to be cheerful

" Acaia, is... is she my daughter?"

Ari walked away from the balcony.

" Yes." she smiled

" Why are we here!"

Obi-wan was supried to see Ari breaking down and almost crying. She never cried. Even when Qui-Gon had killed her father.

" Because, at the end of this week, everything will change."

" How?"

" Remember how I told you I thought Chancellor Palpatine knew? Well, I think he's persuaded Bail Organa, to.. to ask to marry me."

" So! Don't say yes!" said Obi-Wan wrapping his arms around Ari.

" I can't. First of all he thinks I love him and, it would be too supsicious."

" If he does know, what does he have against you, againts me?"

" I don't know but I need to figure it out."

Obi-Wan tried to calm her but couldn't help wondering what would happen to them.


" Acaia."

" What."

" Your mother told me to get you up by now."

" Do you have to listen to her?" whined Acaia

" Yes." laughed Bail

" Fine. What chores do I have?" said Acaia walking out of her bedroom, not caring she hadn't cahnged out of her pajamas. Bail had lived here for five years anyway.

" Acaia, I have somthing important to tell you. You must promise no one else knows though. "

" Sure." said Acaia suspicously buttering her toast

" When your mother get's back, I'm going to propose to her."

Acaia didn't know why, but she should have been happy; she wasn't.

She faked it.

" Finally!" laghed Acaia

Bail smiled.

" I'm glad you agree."


Ari woke up late to find Obi-Wan was up, and she could smell something good downstairs.

" I didn't know you could cook." laughed Ari walking downt he spiral staircase.

Obi-Wan turned around.

" I can! Trust me I learned how."

" Mmmhmm."

They both sat at the table.

" Ari we can pretend all we want, but reality will come soon." said Obi-Wan seroiusly.

" I have to marry him, Ben."

" I know."

" But why would the Chancellor do this!" yelled Obi-Wan

" I've been trying to figure that out. I feel the Dark side around him."

" I sense it also."

" I don't like leaving Acaia there by herself. We can't do anything here."

They both stood up after they were done eating.

" Don't worry my love, we would sense if she were in trouble."


" Acaia. Which ring would be better?"

Acaia sighed, he had been doing this all morning.

" I say again I don't care."

" Come on Ace you msut have some opinion!"

In fact I do! But it's that you don't marry my mother.

" I don't know the turquiose one!"

" Are you sure?"

Acaia stared back at him, looking much like her father.

" Yes." she lied

The doorbell rang. Bail went and got it. It was a messenger.

" Acaia has gotten a message from the Jedi Council. They would like to see her about her mother's.. um mission."

Bail looked confused. But Acaia knew exatcly what the messenger was talking about.

" I heard it Bail. I'll be right with them." smiled Acaia, looking much like her mother.

Acaia put on her best robes and headed towards the Council.

" Enter you may, young Acaia."

She bowed as she entered.

" You do of course know why you are here, Acaia."

She nodded. Mace Windu had always made her nervous.

" Well then, how is your mother's mission going?"

" She has a suspect."

The Jedi shifted in their seats.

" But I doubt you will believe her. I don't trust him either."

" Acaia don't be intimidated, weak minded you are not, this afraid of us, you should not be."

She swalloed her fear.

" The suspect, is.. Chancellor Palpatine."

All the Jedi looked shocked.

" This can't be!" replied Adi Gallia

Other Jedi shouted out. Acaia bravely raised her voice and said, " It is only a suspect. We cannot be sure. "

" This Council is closed. Acaia may I speak with you?" Mace Windu asked walking from his seat over to her.

" Of course, Master."

" Acaia, your mother has... a history I doubt she's told you."

Acaia stopped walking with him.

" What do you mean Master Windu?"

" Acaia, your mother was once a Jedi."

Acaia froze.

"What!" yelled Acaia

" Her name is Aridine Aailea Ry-Lyn. She had been ahving premintions so when you were born, we did not expell her because she was a great use to us."

" Master Windu, do you know who my father is?"

" No." said the Jedi master solemnly

" Why couldn't she tell me this?" Acaia asked angrily

" She was planning to. But, you were a very afraid young girl. She feared you would be angry. Do you know any Jedi teachings Acaia?"

" No, not really."

" Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate , hate... hate leads to suffering."

" I am not afraid."

He stared her hard in the face. As if she reminded him of someone.

" You may leave." he said, suddenly realizing something


" It was a wonderful trip. But Anikan needs me and I know you have a daughter at home." smiled Obi-Wan sropping off River at her appartment.

" Goodbye." nodded River

Obi-Wan nodded and sat back down in his speeder. Don't marry him Ari, don't do it my love, thought Obi-Wan. Even though, he knew he would propse tonight.

Acaia rushed to the door as soon as her mother walked in.

" Liar!" yelled Acaia

" Ace? What is up with you?"

" Mace Windu told me everything!"

River turned sheet white.

" What?" snapped River angrily

" So? Who's my father?" yelled Acaia

" You... I..."

" Who?"

Bail walked into the room. They exchanged glances.

" You want the truth?"

She gave Bail a look.

" He is standing right behind you."

Bail looked shcoked but he got was she was doing.

" Im sorry we couldn't tell you Ace."

Acaia smiled.

" You can't fool me. Your not my father." and at that she rushed out of the room. She needed to see Master Yoda.
