A/N – Because it was asked for! So here's another chapter for right now. This story was originally going to be three parts, but it may become four parts. The story is all planed out now, but will take some time to finish as I'm swamped with homework now.
Anakin's Girl – Thanks for the review.
Ruby – Thanks for the review. My favorite character from the Jedi Quest series is Siri Tachi.
Child of Forgotten Stars – OMG. That review was great. How'd you know I was planning on Ferus bringing Anakin his homework?
---------------
Anakin lay in bed. Darra, Tru and Ferus had long since gone. Unfortunately Ferus didn't take the homework, that he'd brought Anakin, with him. How can I be expected to do homework now? Anakin thought. AT least Obi-Wan told him to get some sleep so he could ignore the homework for a little while. Although he was sure that sleep wouldn't help him feel any better.
Sleep was unable to find him though. His mind was whirling from everything his friends told him about the day. He actually kind-of regretted not being in classes that day. He certainly wasn't having any fun where he was.
---------------
Anakin was feeling better now. Over the past two days Tru and Darra had visited him and recalled what he had missed. And of course, Ferus continued to bring the work that Anakin had missed. Anakin, however, decided that the homework wasn't important enough to do, so it was thrown into the far corner of his room.
He couldn't wait for Tru and Darra's visit today. He was going to tell them that he was pretty sure he was going to go to class tomorrow. Classes were out for the day and he knew his friends would come in about an hour. He counted down the time.
Anakin began to worry as his friends normal visiting time came and went and they hadn't been to see him yet. I wonder where they are.
Darra suddenly burst into his room. She seemed panicky. "I can't stay long, Anakin. Master Rael is out sick and Master Windu has taken over for the week. We have a test tomorrow on what we've done in the last week. Now, aren't you glad Ferus brought you your homework?"
Anakin paled. A test tomorrow! He didn't know what they'd done all week, and there's no way he could catch up by tomorrow.
"Anakin, are you feeling alright? I brought you what we did today and a small study guide that Tru and I made for you."
"Darra," Anakin managed, "I don't think I'm feeling well enough to go to class tomorrow."
"Oh. Well, you should study anyway. I bet that Master Windu will give you the test when you do get back. I gotta go study though. The test is going to be hard." Darra said goodbye and rushed out of Anakin's room.
Anakin's mind whirled. Master Windu was giving them a test. He didn't know what they did that week. His mind was trying to wrap around the fact that they had a test.
Obi-Wan came into his room. "Anakin, how are you feeling? Do you feel up to going to class tomorrow?"
Anakin had to think fast. He didn't want to have to take that test. So he groaned as pathetically as he could. "I don't think so."
Obi-Wan eyed his apprentice carefully. "Alright," he said carefully. He wasn't sure if he believed Anakin or not. Trust is important in a Master, Padawan relationship, he reminded himself. If Anakin says he's still sick, he's still sick. Obi-Wan closed the door and Anakin was left by himself.
He lied to his Master. He was skipping classes. What would his mother say now? He was probably breaking some part of the Code, and was breaking some of the rules his mother had drilled into him as a child. He wished she was here now to help him.
Anakin hauled himself out of his bed and over to the corner where he had thrown the work that Ferus had brought him. He gathered it all up and crawled back into bed. He took the study guide Tru and Darra created for him, and glanced to see what he needed to know for the test. He didn't know anything on here. He was in trouble.
He opened his books and began to cram the information into his brain. There was no way to learn all this by tomorrow, but maybe he'd be ready for the day after.
