Okay just like I promised here is the next update! This one will be good. And yes there will be singing.


Chapter 4- We Are One

Obi-wan and the Jedi moved off over the ridge, back towards Pride City, while Talzin took Anakin back to the Outlands. Once within sight of the city, Satine looked back at Obi-wan, who had stopped.

"Obi?" Satine asked.

Obi-wan cleared his throat and gave her a nod. Satine smiled back at him, understanding it's time for The Talk. She and the rest of the group moved off back home. Obi-wan set Padme down on a rock, who grins ingratiatingly up at him. He glared sternly back. She looked at the ground, sighing.

"Padme, what did you think you were doing?" Obi-wan asked. "You could have been killed today."

"But Daddy, I…I didn't mean to disobey," Padme said.

'I'm telling you this, because I love you," Obi-wan said with a tinge of worry. "I don't want to lose you."

"I know," Padme said shamefully.

Obi-wan knelt down in front of her.

"If something happened to you, I don't know what I'd do," he said. He reached up and cupped her face in his hand. "One day I won't be here… and I need you to carry on in my place. You are part of the great Circle of…"

"Circle of Life. I know," Padme finished.

"Exactly. And you need to be careful. As future Queen…"

"But what if I don't want to be Queen?" she interrupted. "It's no fun."

"That's like saying you don't want to be a Jedi. It's in your blood…as I am. We are a part of each other."

He smiled and playfully shoved her off the rock. Padme smiled up at him. Obi-wan grinned back down at her, and they hugged.

"Padme, this is a song my mother sung to me when I was your age," Obi-wan said. "I want you to hear it." He started singing.

'As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we
don't understand.'

They started walking around the city. A mother sternly prevented one of her toddlers from trying to run away from her. A couple sitting in the grass watched their baby walk for the first time.

'And the only thing we know
is things don't always go
the way we planned.

But you'll see everyday
That we'll never turn away
When it seems all of your dreams come undone.'

A group of girls Padme's age were braiding each other's hair. A group of older kids played tag.

'We will stand by your side
Filled with hope and filled with pride
We are more than we are
We are one.'

They continued walking through the city. As they passed a fountain, Padme stopped and looked at her reflection.

Padme started singing.

'If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me
the way I am?'

A little baby fish jumped out of the water and into her reflection.

'Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
of some big plan?'

Obi-wan walked behind her and headed toward the palace. Padme ran after him.

Obi-wan sang again.

'Even those who are gone
Are with us as we go on
your journey has only begun

Tears of pain, tears of joy
one thing nothing can destroy
Is our pride, deep inside
We are one'

They ran through the city, passing groups of curious villagers, many with their young children, as they approached the palace.

'We are one, you and I
We are like the earth and sky
one family under the sun.'

Running up the balcony stairs of the palace, he indicated it to her.

'All the wisdom to lead
All the courage that you need
You will find when you see
We are one.'

"As long as you live here, it's who you are," Obi-wan said. He wrapped her in a hug and kissed the top of her head. "You'll understand someday." He turned and walked up the stairs, disappearing into the palace.

A bird fluttered by her, circled; and flew off over the City into the setting sun. Padme ran up the steps and to the edge to watch the bird. She smiled sadly thoughtful for a second, then turned to face the sun, watching it set.
