Thank you for all the reviews, you guys are great. BTW, I realized I haven't put a disclaimer soooo... I don't own Star Wars...or Kit Fisto...dammit George, gimmy Fisto! You have all those other cool Jedi! You won't miss him!

As Anakin made his way towards Obi-Wan's quarters, his thoughts turned to Padme. Now, with the help of the Jedi, he could save her from himself.

He smiled as he passed a group of younglings, feeling his spirits rise even further.

After reaching Obi-Wan's room, the two Jedi began the journey to the Council chambers, while Anakin related his little story for the third time.

As he started, Obi-Wan's eyes slowly widened until they were dangerously close to falling out. Then, his jaw slowly made its way to the floor.

Anakin grinned when he looked over at his master, who resembled a giant fish at this point.

"You might want to close your mouth and put your eyes back before we reach the Council."

Obi-Wan shook his head, still a little shocked by everything he had just heard.

"And I thought today would be normal, silly me." he muttered as they reached the Council Chambers.

Entering, they saw that everyone else had already arrived. Obi-Wan took his seat as Anakin stood in the center of the room.

Suddenly it hit Anakin that he would have to explain everything for a FOURTH time, and mentally groaned. Master Yoda, seeing this, began chuckling.

"Already informed us, Master Windu has, need to repeat yourself you do not."

Anakin sighed in relief, then felt around the room. He felt disapproval, particularly from Coleman Kcaj, Agen Kolar, and Stass Allie. From Ki-Adi-Mundi, Shaak Ti, Plo Koon, and Yoda he felt nothing, while he felt acceptance from Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, Obi-Wan and Mace.

Master Yoda spoke first, "Discuss now we will, the matter of your attachment, young Skywalker."

"I say he should be expelled from the Order, no Jedi is exempt from following the Code.", was Master Kolar's response.

"Even if the Code is wrong?" questioned Kit Fisto, his head cocked to the side, and the barest hint of a grin on his face.

"You are walking on dangerous ground, Master Fisto. Your own feelings, those for Aalya Secura, cloud your judgment." retorted Stass Allie.

"This is not an attack, but a discussion, calm yourselves." scolded Master Mundi, before his attention turned to Anakin.

"I think it would be best to hear how this attachment started, if you would be so kind, Anakin."

Anakin smiled gratefully at the Cerean Jedi, and breathed deep.

"To be honest, I was attached to her since before I ever became a Jedi. But as for our marriage, it began when I was protecting her on Naboo after she was almost assassinated. We tried to deny our feelings for one another, but on Geonosis, before we entered the arena, we gave in. We were married when I escorted her back to Naboo after the battle."

Master Tiin spoke up. "I have seen no evidence that this attachment has harmed him in any way, and to be honest, I am not sure if it is attachment that is evil, or our own fear of it."

"Preposterous!" spoke up Master Kcaj, "Master Jinn was almost driven to darkness after the death of Tahl, and Skywalker has shown considerable anger himself."

"Qui-Gon did not fall however, and Anakin's anger stems not from his relationship, but from something else." Obi-Wan was indignant at the Ongree Jedi's attack on his former master and padawan.

"My anger is a personal flaw, that has always been with me." stated Anakin. "It is one of the reasons I am here, to find a way to overcome it."

Finally Master Windu spoke up. "Master Yoda and I have thought on this subject before. The rule on attachment came about during the Ruusan Reformation a thousand years ago. Before that, there was no such rule."

Master Yoda spoke up. "Believe Master Tiin is right, I do. It is our fear of attachment that is a weakness. And if wrong attachment is, then guilty I am. I am attached to every Jedi alive. They are as my children."

"Agreed," said Plo Koon. "almost every Jedi has formed an attachment, to their padawans, to their friends, and to the people we serve."

"But we can't just have Jedi running around romancing each other, acting as fools. We must be focused!" stated Master Allie.

"Agreed, and that is why I suggest modifying the Code to allow Knights and Masters this freedom, but not Padawans, and giving the Council the right to end a Jedi's attachment if it becomes detrimental to his or her performance of duty." stated Master Windu, looking around.

"Second this, I do." said Master Yoda.

For what seemed like eternity, it looked as if Master Kolar was about to speak up before stating, "I...can find no fault with Master Windu's plan." Stass Allie and Coleman Kcaj, grudgingly agreed.

Anakin couldn't believe it. Not only was he going to be able to stay with Padme, the Jedi had almost done away with the restriction, with a few logical exceptions.

"As for your issues with your anger, Anakin, We have come up with a solution. You will have one session of meditation with each of the Masters on the Council, during which we will help you find the source of your anger and overcome it." said Shaak Ti, who had been quiet thus far.

Anakin bowed low. "Thank you Masters, you have helped me more than I ever thought possible."

Kit Fisto grinned. "Think of it as a thank you from me, for helping get rid of that stodgy old rule, and an apology from the rest for doubting you."

A few of the Masters glared at the Nautolan, while the rest hid smiles, and Obi-Wan fell out of his seat.
