Okay so this is a short chapter and I'm deciding to post it today. So…enjoy.

Chapter 8- An Unwelcome Stranger

As night fell over Pride City, Obi-wan noticed Anakin about to go into the palace with the Jedi; he jumped in front of Anakin with a growl and intimidated him away from the palace opening as Obi-wan went inside. Anakin walked out to the backyard furniture and laid down in one of the chairs. Padme came out to speak with him. She was in a nightgown with a robe wrapped around her.

"Hey…uh, thanks for saving me today," Padme said.

"What kind of hunter are you anyway, Princess?" Anakin asked. "You almost got yourself killed out there."

"What?" she asked.

"You wouldn't last three days on your own."

"Oh," she said provoked. "and I suppose you could teach me?"

"Heh, yeah."

"Padme!" Obi-wan shouted from inside the palace.

"Coming!" She shouted back then turned back to Anakin. "All right… impress me. We start at dawn.

Padme walked back to the palace.

Anakin chuckled.

"I look forward to it," he said to himself.

Grievous and Mother Talzin stood watching from a nearby hill.

"Oh…oh…d-d-did you see that?" Grievous said. "He let her go! If that were me…"

"Hush," Mother Talzin said. "The fire rescue worked perfectly, and Obi-wan fell for it. Now, the closer Anakin gets to the daughter, the closer he gets to Obi-wan! And once he has Obi-wan alone…" She swung her hand at a tree, missing it. However, the small trunk fell in pieces.

Shifting back and forth in the bed, Obi-wan was plagued with nightmares. Nightmares were about his father's death.

Obi-wan stood at the top of the ledge, reaching down for Qui-Gon, who was just out of reach.

"Obi-wan! Obi-wan! Help me!" Qui-Gon called.

"Father!" Obi-wan cried.

Dooku was above Obi-wan, laughing on the rocks against the moonlight.

"Dad…just…a little…further…" Obi-wan said reaching farther.

Dooku latched onto Obi-wan's upper arm with a pair of claws

"Gotcha!" Dooku said. "Trust me."

"Obi-wan!" Qui-Gon cried.

Qui-Gon slid down and into the gorge.

"Noo!" Obi-wan cried.

Obi-wan turned on Dooku; Dooku, laughed, slowly morphed into Anakin.

"Anakin?"

Anakin suddenly let go, throwing Obi-wan down after Qui-Gon. Anakin is still laughing.

At the moment of impact, he awoke, panting. He looked around in fright, calmed himself, and went back to sleep next to Satine.

Yikes! Hey if you put this dream into real Star Wars terms it is kind of true. Dooku betrayed Qui-Gon, but didn't kill him. And Ani betrayed Obi and didn't kill him either.

Oh well…Comedy Next! HAHAHAHA!
