It happened long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It's the past, nothing can be changed ... or but ... with intergalactic journeys, wormholes and swing bys ... we can meet our past for to change our future

Coruscant 22bby

It was planned they would get closer to Milky Way Galaxy, the Solar system and finally to Earth through a shorter wormhole, which is created by the strong curvature of the space. They wanted to emerge through the wormhole in the time that seemed logical, beginning of the destructive catastrophe took its course. They just had to be careful not to land too far in the future, because then they would have to go back through the wormhole to correct. But if they arrive too early in the history of this planet, that wouldn't be so bad, they could find the way to the right time by doing one or more swing-bys, but exactly what they didn't want, was happened. Either the calculations were wrong, which was unlikely, Anakin was a computer scientist, or dark matter had played a trick on them, as it often does. Dark matter was unpredictable.

Milky Way Galaxy, Sun system, planet Earth 2014 and a few years befor (22bby)

Anyway, they landed too late, the Earth was in the year 2014. They pulled up their shields, the ship became invisible. All scanners showed the system of the planet, stage of development, way of life and other vital data that helped them to integrate for a short time, until they found out where to go to get the job done. Change clothes first and then put the translater adapters in their ears.

The earth was already advanced in the destruction phase. There were many small, large, medium-sized geographical entities called states in which people lived, who fought each other, even though they were the same, only the skin color was different of some. That alone fueled the conflicts, which did not outweigh the larger conflicts when it came to resources, often just about influence.

They had to find archives in order to start somewhere. There wasn't any high technology where they were, but archives that Anakin could convert were there. They were in a small country that just had a terrible civil war a few years ago, in the capital called White City. They were in the basement of an older building, pulling data off a computer ... oh, how primitive, Anakin thought. The building was huge, with the dome reminiscent of the Senate building, only on a smaller scale. They all listened to music and smiled ... the entertainment is appreciated here too. Anakin was made aware. They went up the stairs and found themselves in a large room where something was obviously being broadcast or recorded. One man with long hair in a leather suit was sitting on the chair playing a plucked instrument. The sound was magical and Anakin didn't even notice that Obi-Wan and Meister Gallia were pulling his arm. He stopped and continued to listen. Two men sat on a stool and each of them played something like concert piano, an old instrument that Anakin knew as a relic from music history ? One man started to sing:

The moon is in the sign of twins*, it is her time
There was only copies after, colorless and silent
When I imagine her face, I tremble for a moment
I am surching for outlines, which look like her
with my mind I fight against my heart, but at the end of the story
the heart sells the old trick, and breaks away

And I wander, on the paths of some past days
It was magic, wrinkled silk on her brest

And from people
I hide away and don't talk about it
because, how can I explain
despite she belongs someone else, she is mine
I still feed myself with the same ilusion

The other man continued:

She could dance forever, so cheeky young
Her days begin when the dusk reigns
And silence finds its way, into the silver nights

So I wander to those places where she was mine
but the mornings creep in, and take away all hope
while I wake up

And from people
I hide away and don't talk about it
because, how can I explain
despite you belong someone else, you are mine
I still feed myself with the same ilusion

And in duett:

Every day I paint with a sad note
every dream I cross with the life
and then you're here,
and I'm going insain

And from people
I hide away and don't talk about it
because, how can I explain
despite you belong someone else, you are mine
I still feed myself with the same ilusion

Obi-Wan as well as Adi Gallia felt through the force how Anakin's chest tightened, how he couldn't breathe, how he fell apart. He fell to his knees, threw his head back with a pained expression on his face that Obi-Wan has never seen befor, absolute horror. He opened his mouth and screamed ... silently, but the Force trembled so intensely, it could be heard across the universe. The two Masters also went down on their knees in pain, Obi-Wan just managed to ask what's going on.

"Master, don't you hear the lyrics of this ballad? It is written for me. This is what i feel Master, she is no longer mine, but she is mine. Master, help me, I hear her screams, don't you hear? "

Obi-Wan, still kneeling, put his face in his hands and concentrated on what he was hearing through the Force. It was Anakin's pain and screams ... and Padmé's ... but there was something else, more screams and they had a signature similar to Anakin's.

He didn't want to worry Anakin any more, he was already torn inside, he couldn't take any more pain at the moment. He looked at Adi Gallia, she nodded. That meant she noticed it too.

"Master, don't you hear ?"

"Yes Anakin, through the Force…. space and time. Anakin, we have to get out of here. Adi, help me to lift him, we have to get out of here, now. "

The two Masters used the Force, picked him up and walked out of the building towards the spaceship. Anakin was mentally absent and physically out of function. They put him on the bed, covered him, and Master Gallia stayed with Anakin for a while. When she was sure he had fallen asleep so broken, she got up and went to the Obi-Wan.

"Obi-Wan, what exactly did you hear?"

"I heard his terrible scream that knocked me to the ground, then I heard Padmé screaming terribly, and then a baby, and one more. The signature of these screams was similar to his. And what did you hear and perceive? "

"The same. Obi-Wan, his scream was something I've never heard before, I thought the Force is bound to explode. "

"Yes, the epitome of desperation. If we put everything together it can mean only one thing: Padmé gave birth to his children, twins. "

"Exactly and what do we do now. Do you think he realized that? "

"He's not stupid Adi and he knows when he was with her ... you already know ..."

"I'm just afraid that it will be unusable for the rest of the time. Can't you see what condition he is in? Can we finish the mission without him? ... come home? "

"Sure Adi, the only question is how we proceed. Maybe we will have to be brutal and eliminate all before it starts, some time before World War II, and not wait to negotiate disarmament. We're coming home, don't worry. If it were as bad as you think, no one would dare venture out of the galaxy today without Anakin. So Adi, what do you think, how do we proceed? "

"I'm not a hardliner, you know. Negotiating or manipulating the negotiations, we need more time. We have to go to 1967 to steer the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, to 1996 because of the treaty on the ban on nuclear weapons tests, and then for the next twenty years there will be repeated talks, bilateral and multilateral, about chemical weapons, about preventing the arms race in space and countless others, Obi-Wan. We can spend the next hundred years here. What is left? "

"Hard intervene and back ... and another swing-by"

And so Oppenheimer, Teller, Szilard, Noddack, Hahn, Strassmann, Meitner, Frisch, Joffe, Kurtschatow and a few other suspect people were eliminated.

The Earth would be very difficult to recover from the loss and the own galaxy would gain some time to deal with acute problems.

The activities that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Adi Gallia had to do alone lasted six months. Anakin spent the whole time in the spaceship, lay in his bed all day, occupied himself with calculations of the wormhole that had to be taken, he couldn't do everything, he couldn't concentrate. The text of the ballade stuck in his head like a leech and tortured him again and again to the point of unconsciousness. He tried to remember what he heard through the Force. It wasn't just Padmé, it was something else, no, it was someone else. But his efforts were in vain. He was far too distracted by his own pain at the time.

After the mission was successfully completed, Obi-Wan worked with Anakin to calculate the wormhole and they went home. The two Masters used the long journey to take care of Anakin very intensively; meditation, conversations, exercises, sparring and a few more things they said could help get Anakin out of this bad condition. The calculations were accurate and after another six months they were home, it was the first month of the year 20bby. The galaxy was saved ... for now.

Coruscant 20bby

.

.

The Senate was satisfied, as was Palpatine. Palpatine was happy with Anakin's condition too, he just had to get him to look for Padmé.

As long as Palpatine took care of the clone army and how he can manipulate the separatists, he already had the Senate under control. There were only a few who resisted its increasing influence. He was cleverly gaining more and more special authorizations due to the tense situation and was already practically a dictator.

Anakin was feeling better after six months, but still not feeling well. He checked their joint contact address first and found she hadn't left a message in a year and a half. He didn't know where to get information. He went to his former Master. Obi-Wan was always his support. He told him everything, Obi-Wan couldn't know. There were some things Obi-Wan suspected, but now he had the picture clear .

"Anakin, ask Padmé's parents first. We know now she married him, but I wouldn't go to Scipio first, it would not be only inappropriate, it would even be dangerous. You have no rights ... you know how it is."

"Yes Master."

"Anakin, don't always call me Master, I'm not anymore."

"True, but it's force of habit and it's not just that. With that, I express my appreciation ... Master." He smiled.

"Anyway, Anakin. If you need my help, I'll be there. "

"Thanks Master."

Anakin took off his military uniform and went to see Senator Count Naberrie in the Senate. The senator looked bad, dark circles under his eyes and emaciated.

"Highborn." Anakin bowed

"The whole galaxy owes you, but you certainly did not come to accept my gratitude."

"No. I have allowed myself, although I know I shouldn't, to inquire about the Countess. She got married, how is she? "

"She was outcast by her husband …... on the wedding day. "

"Was outcast!? Where is she now?"

"We do not know it."

"Tell me everything you know, I have to look for her."

"The Prince of Scipio has only informed us the marriage has been annulled and Padmé left Scipio."

"Did the prince say why the marriage was annulled?"

"No, but we assume she was no longer a virgin ... and I'm sure you have something to do with it, Anakin. Not true?"

"Yes that is true. We gave us each other. Your highborn, I have to find her."

"We're shrinking with grief, Anakin, look at us… .but I can't help you. You have more opportunity to find her, you are a Jedi and when you have found her, we want our daughter again. I can live without the post of Senator, but not without my daughter. Good luck finding her Anakin. "

"Thank you, your Highborn"

Anakin left. He was so terribly confused, at first he didn't even know where he is. So, go to the Chancellor, the good uncle, again.

"Anakin my boy, glad to see you again. What can I do for you? Oh yes, the daughter of the deceased Valorum ... she would be happy to see you, she is so alone, it would be good if you ... "

"No ! Enough ! It would not be good and I have no interest in her at all. You can't do that to me. "

"You know that I can do it."

"Yes, but you won't! You for yourself have withdrawn from all of this. Why didn't you get married? "

"My parents didn't insist. Why are you so stubborn? It would still be a good match for you. "

"Uncle, we've talked about this before, it is of topic. You can definitely tell me where Countess Naberrie is. "

"Oh yes, the Countess. She was disowned by her husband on the wedding day. I'm not sure if you know how it is on Scipio ... in such cases ... "

"Tell me."

"The person who is rejected is treated like a leper and abandoned somewhere… .where, that knows only person who did."

"Well, only Prince Rush Clovis knows that, right?"

"Exactly ... ..but you won't humiliate yourself and go to him?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to do."

"Anakin, I need you here, the war with the separatists is imminent."

"I'm sure you can get by without me for a while. Until I found her ... I recommend myself."

Palpatine was furious, but let him go. It is better not to upset him so it will be easier to win him over later. Anakin has been very headstrong in the last few years anyway. Let him find her, he thought…. and then that could be used against him.

Anakin went to his former Master and told him everything he had learned. Obi-Wan had to think for a while.

"Anakin, I'll come with you. I apply for leave, after such a long mission we get a few weeks. Then we start to Scipuo. What do you think about it?"

"Let us do it like this, I'll pack up."

Anakin and Obi-Wan requested the long vacation, which was granted. The trip to Scipio was not long, Scipio was only a few parsecs away. The surprise of the visit was great in the Duke's palace, although the Duke himself and the Duchess were not on the planet. Prince Rush Clovis received the Jedis with due respect, as protocol dictates. When the courtesies were exchanged, the prince dismissed all of his advisors, attendants, and the guards. Very unusual, which was not recorded without a protest.

"Go ! If these two Jedis want me to be dead, not even the whole army of Scipio would help me. "

They all left. Anakin was just getting under control when Obi-Wan began questioning in his manner:

"As you probably already suspect Your Highness, we are here because of Comtess Naberrie, or should I say Princess Clovis ... or what should I call her differently. Where is she?"

"I think you already know that she is not here, Master Kenobi."

"Tell us where she is." Anakin intervened and without a formal address.

"The marriage was suspended by me on the day of our wedding, she was outcast that's our rules."

"How cruel ... and where?" Asked Obi-Wan

"And above all why?" Asked Anakin

"She dared to admit her virginity to you, Colonel. I loved her, I was even ready to forgive it, but the fact she was carrying your child Colonel, I couldn't accept ... I was not able to do that. As you can see, I am also a victim of our traditions. "

Anakin grabbed the Force to stay on his feet and Obi-Wan supported him.

"Tell us where she was outcast NOW!"

"You know that you can not order me, just as I can not and must not give you that information…. Banishment is banishment. I could have brought her back to her parents. She would have ended up in the Lower Levels, which would have meant certain death. I loved her and, in spite of everything, I didn't want her dead. I left her where she had a chance to survive, no matter how minimal this chance was. "

"Any clue?" Asked Obi-Wan

"I just hope that she doesn't get lost in the pits of the sand worms there, that she can escape into the caves at night to be safe from these terrible creatures and that she doesn't fear her own two shadows during the day."

"If I can't find her, pray to the gods ..." threatened Anakin

Anakin and Obi-Wan left Scipio.

"So Anakin, what do we know? Sandworms live on ... a desert planets. There are millions and millions of desert planets in the galaxy. No Anakin, we won't get any further. We have to go back to Coruscant and to Master Nu's library. "

"Yes Master."

Anakin was so excited, as if paralized, couldn't think. He left everything to Obi-Wan, he always knew what to do, had always found a solution. In the library they were warmly welcomed by Master Nu.

"Master Kenobi, Knight Skywalker ... ..Anakin, how can I help?"

Anakin told her what they were looking for and after the sparse hints she had received, Master Nu sought out the planets that would meet the requirements. All desert planets had worms wich lived in the sand, but few wich lived in the holes. Likewise, most of the planets were covered with sand, had no mountains interspersed with caves. At the end there might have been a few left ... but what about the two shadows? Master Nu said aloud suddenly:

"Yes, I have it now! You can cast two shadows only when two suns are shining on you. It means the planet orbits two suns. There is only one: Tatooine."

"Master Nu, you are a genius!" Said Anakin to his old friend.

"Thank you Master Nu, you have helped us a lot." Came from Obi-Wan

"Gladly and good luck with your mission" she just didn't know which one.

Tatooine 20bby

.

Tatooine was on the other end of the galaxy, it was called hyperspace and a little patience. Anakin said they should look in the larger localities first, there were only a few ... Mos Espa, Mos Eisley, Ancorhead which was no longer important. She would not be to find there ... or will she ? Anakin was fixated on the fact that Prince Clovis was saying that she was pregnant and that she thought she might have a child. Obi-Wan, on the other hand, remembered exactly what he heard through the Force and felt, there were two ... twins. He didn't want to worry Anakin or give him hope, he didn't know if the children survived. He will feel them at the latest when they land on the planet.

When they landed on Tatooine, there was a very faint tremor of power.

"Master, we found her, she is here."

"I can feel it too, but is it really Padmé?"

"I am familiar with her signature, more than any other."

"Do you feel the direction from which the signature is coming?"

"Yes, it's coming from that direction." and pointed north.

"The larger localities are not in that direction."

"She doesn't have to be in a city, or ... maybe a cave where she hides."

"With a little child?" Asked Obi-Wan.

"We take the direction."

The two suns burned mercilessly, if they didn't have a cape they would certainly be burned. They decided to take a break, look for a cave and continue walking when the suns have set. The temperatures are particularly pleasant at sunset, and at night the temperature can drop significantly. At sunset the two made their way north. The walk through the sand was arduous, required strength, and the water was already at the end. Somewhere in the distance they saw shimmering lights, how they had copied from the archive file to the comlinks, it must be moisture vaporators. They walked slowly and approached what they believed to be a moisture farm. Obi-Wan felt something first and then heard Anakin too ... soft steps behind him. Anakin was already in action. He drew his lightsaber and cut off both arms of each of the attackers. They were Tusken robbers. They go in smaller groups, one behind another, are easily frightened and driven away, but come back with reinforcements. Actually nothing that the Jedis can't cope with. Anakin didn't get excited, deactivated his lightsaber and put it back on his belt. A few more hundred meters and they have made it. They went down the stairs into the lower courtyard and sat on the steps. It was still early in the morning and the suns were just rising. They didn't want to wake the residents. Obi-Wan took two energy bars out of his pocket and gave one to Anakin. That should be breakfast in case they don't get anything here. They drank the last drop of water they had. There wasn't much to talk about and they were tired.

"We may learn something here, but don't expect too much, Anakin. Be prepared we have to look further. "

"I know Master."

At that moment the small door at the foot of the stairs opened and a boy came out. He must have been about eleven or twelve, with relatively long brown hair and green-blue eyes. He greeted them with a smile and asked who they were looking for.

"The owner. We would like to ask him a few questions, maybe he can help, we are looking for someone."

"Mister Lars has already got up, he will be here soon."

"Mister Lars?"

"Yes, and his wife Beru."

"That doesn't exist, Obi-Wan, it must be my stepfather's son."

At that moment the door opened and Owen came out.

"Mister Lars, there are two Jedis here, they are looking for someone."

"You are Owen, the son of my stepfather Cliegg Lars. I'm Anakin Skywalker. "

Anakin held out his hand and Owen shook it.

"I am happy finally to get to know you, to see you. I've heard a lot about you from my father and your mother. Are you coming to me specifically, how can I help? "

"No, not specifically, we ended up here by chance, but I'm happy. Maybe you can help, maybe you can't. We are looking for…"

"Come in first, it starts to get warm early."

They went in and Beru came into the kitchen.

"Look Beru, this is Anakin Skywalker and Master ...? "

"Kenobi."

"Nice to meet you at last. Sit down, I'll make us something to eat in a moment, I'm sure you're hungry. "

"If I said no, I would be lying."

"Beru, are they still sleeping?"

"Yes, the children sleep longer and she is always tired, in bad shape, physically and mentally. Poor woman."

"Do you have another family member?"

"No. This young man here, Han Solo, found that young woman lying in the sand, unconscious , half starved and half died of thirst. The two of them made it this far and I took them in. They are working for me on the farm now ... ..she as much as she can, but it is enough to earn money for herself and the children."

"What do these moisture vaporators emit or receive ? I can't feel anything through the Force... no persons. " Obi-Wan said

"They actually send the rays, no, they receive the energy of the two suns, that doubles the effect."

"I need to see this woman. What's her name?"

"She says her name is Dormé."

Anakin pricked up his ears immediately. Padmé's maid is called Dormé. Beru put the plates on the table.

"I'll see if she's awake."

She left and after a few minutes she came in the company of a young woman. She was very emaciated, dark circles under her eyes, her cheeks were sunken, the cheekbones were clearly visible. The hair was shorter, tied with a scarf at the back, the curls hung loose at the front and covered the ears. She was wearing a gray dress, if that could be called a dress, and a jacket over it, that too couldn't hide how skinny she was. Two small children, very small, they have just learned to walk, almost babies, clung to either side. A dark-haired girl with brown eyes and a blond boy with eyes so blue like the sky of Naboo. Anakin saw himself in the boy like in the mirror and immediately jumped.

"Padmé my Angel, my everything ..."

He hugged her and held her tight ... like at the gala after the Galactic Summer Games when they stood on the balcony.

"Come on, sit down."

She was apathetic, she sat down, the children clung to her side. Anakin knelt. Obi-Wan watched the scene.

"Padmé, the children ..."

"Yes Ani, they are our children, Luke and Leia, our twins. Luke, Leia, go to your father, go."

Luke was still clutching his mother, but Leia took a step towards her father and pulled on his hair with her little hand. He felt the Force connect them and she smiled. Obi-Wan too. After a few long seconds, Luke did the same. Anakin and his children were tied together in the Force and no one would be able to split them up.
