Chapter 1

Farra ended her meditation and leaving her room, ran along the corridors of the Jedi temple. Of late she had come to notice more and more how manly Anakin was and how handsome he was. She knew these feelings were forbidden to Jedi but she found them hard to resist. Several times she had noticed Anakin watching her and wondered if he was having similar feelings. Farra was running to get something to eat as she had realized she was hungry. As she turned a corner she collided with someone and both of them went down hard. It only took Farra a moment to get to her feet. She felt herself blushing as she realized she'd knocked Anakin over.

"I am sorry Anakin," she said.

"Its ok Farra no harm done" Anakin said and smiled.

Anakin had been heading out to do an errand for his master, Obi Wan. He hadn't been paying attention to where he was going because his thoughts had been on Farra. He had noticed that she was becoming more beautiful with each passing day and like Farra had found his feelings hard to resist.

"Where are you heading to Anakin?" Farra asked.

Anakin told her the nature of his errand.

"Perhaps you can help me," he suggested.

"I must tell Ploon before I do" Farra said.

Farra hurried to where Ploon was and asked him if she could accompany Anakin on his errand.

"Yes you can go Farra but be mindful of your emotions. I have seen how you and Anakin look at each other. I know he is attracted to you and I get the feeling you like him too. Remember love is forbidden for Jedi" Ploon said.

"Yes Master" Farra said.

Farra hurried back to where Anakin was waiting for her. His errand was to find another Padawan and give him a message from Obi Wan.

"I can come with you" Farra told him.

She didn't miss the smile on his face when she said that.

When the two were out of the temple they hurried along the streets of Coruscant. It didn't take long to find Tok Hin and pass the message on. When that was done Anakin and Farra returned to the temple. Just before they entered the temple Anakin asked Farra to stop walking, as he wanted to talk to her. She stopped and looked at him.

"Farra I know this is wrong but I have feelings for you. I am deeply attracted to you" Anakin said.

"I've feelings for you too Anakin and I also know it is wrong" Farra said.

Anakin smiled hearing this and looked at Farra his blue eyes radiating love.

"What if they weren't to know about how we feel about each other? It can be our secret" Anakin said.

"Ploon already knows we are attracted to each other. He has seen how we look at each other," Farra said.

"Will he know if we act on our feelings?" Anakin asked.

"I don't know" Farra admitted

Anakin stepped forward and Farra felt his lips against hers. His kiss was eager and hungry yet controlled. Against her better judgment Farra drew him closer, deepening the kiss.

That night when everyone has gone to bed, her door handle turning wakes Farra. She reached out and her fingers grasped her lightsaber, which was by her bed. She held it ready to ignite it and use it to defend herself. As the person entered her room she can see that it is a male and then moonlight reflects off his face. Her visitor is Anakin.

"What in Sith's name are you doing here" Farra hissed.

"I had to see you again," Anakin said.

"If they find you in here we will both be expelled from the Order" Farra said.

Anakin had sat down on her bed by then and he silenced her protests with a kiss. Again she found herself kissing him back.

"I know this is right" Anakin told her after they'd broken the kiss, "We've been best friends for a long time now" he added.

"What about our Jedi commitment. Jedi do not love" Farra says

"I think there are things our Masters are mistaken about. Shouldn't it be our intentions when using the force that are important? Not our emotions. Our emotions may dictate our intentions but only if we let them" Anakin said.

Farra thought for a moment. She could see the wisdom in what Anakin was saying but didn't see how it could be possible for the other Masters to accept this new idea about the good and bad side of the Force.

"I would agree with you Anakin but our Masters will not agree"

"I know" Anakin said.

He kissed her again lightly on the lips. Two hours later he returned to his own room.

The next morning the Padawans had lightsaber practice and Farra was partnered with Anakin. Just seeing him bought back a rush of pleasure from the previous night. The two had spent 2 hours together talking and kissing. Yoda was taking the lightsaber practice and he was watching each pair of Padawans duel each other. When he called Farra and Anakin's names they stepped to the front of the class and ignited their lightsabers. They circled each other then began to exchange blows back and forth. Their lightsabers clashed in bright flashes. Anakin was exceptionally talented but Farra was able to match his skill. Suddenly Farra disarmed Anakin in a move that surprised him. He looked stunned for a moment then Farra returned his lightsaber to him.

"How did you do that?" Anakin asked her.

"You need to concentrate more and be more mindful of what you are doing" Yoda admonished Anakin.

"Yes Master. I try" Anakin responded.

As Anakin and Farra had been the last pair to duel the class spent some time talking about how to improve their lightsaber techniques then Yoda dismissed them. As Farra headed away to meditate in her room, Anakin followed her and caught her arm.

"You did well today Farra" he said.

"You were thinking about me weren't you Anakin. When I disarmed you I mean"

"Yes yes I was. I need to control my thoughts and concentrate on what I am doing" Anakin admitted.

He smiled at her.

"But class is over. Shall we take a stroll through the gardens?"

Farra nodded guessing what was on his mind. The two headed for the gardens and walked through them. When they were alone Anakin stopped walking and turned to Farra. He kissed her sending fireworks up and down her spine. She kissed back, responding to his kiss. Then the two sat and talked.

Half an hour later Obi Wan came through the gardens deep in thought. He was concerned about Anakin and was meditating on the issue. When he passed the dell something made him stop. He looked around and spotted Anakin and Farra. They were sitting and talking and Anakin had an arm about Farra's shoulders. Then he kissed Farra. She kissed him back and Obi Wan could see that the two definitely liked each other. He left and found Ploon and told him what he had seen. Ploon was not pleased and told Obi Wan he'd talk to Farra. Obi Wan was already intending to talk to Anakin. By then Anakin and Farra had returned to their rooms. As it was getting late Ploon decided to leave it until the next day to talk to Farra. Farra had gone to bed and spent some time meditating. A couple of hours after she turned out the light she heard the door opening. This time she knew whom to expect. Anakin slipped in and closed the door behind him then crossed to her bed and taking her in his arms kissed her deeply. Neither had any idea that Obi Wan had seen them in the garden. Again he went back to his room about two hours later.

The next day Ploon spoke to Farra about what Obi Wan had seen.

"I have had a disturbing report from Obi Wan about you and Anakin. Is it true that you have feelings for him"

Farra couldn't lie to Ploon.

"I like Anakin a lot. We've been best friends for years but now I think he wants to be more than friends with me."

"Do you want to be more than friends with him?" Ploon asked.

"Yes I do. He and I feel the same way. We have not acted improperly towards each other though"

"You know that thoughts like these are forbidden to the Jedi. I would suggest you put them out of your mind. You could be expelled from the order if you continue on in this manner"

Ploon dismissed her then. Obviously he and Obi Wan did not know of Anakin's sneaking to see her at night.

Farra decided to try and avoid Anakin as much as possible and focus on her studies. However that night he snuck in to see her again.

"Did Obi Wan say anything to you today" Farra asked.

"Yes he did. He saw us in the garden"

"I know. Ploon spoke to me also. We cannot allow this to continue. I cannot jeopardize my future here," Farra said.

"Please Farra don't say that" Anakin said.

He looked down and she could see he was upset.

"What else can we do? We'll be expelled if we carry on like this"

"We need to convince our masters that what we talked of the other night is right," Anakin said.

He tipped her head up and moved to kiss her. Farra hesitated then allowed him to kiss her. She didn't know why she was letting him kiss her but it felt right.
