"So what do you think your Master means?"

Farah looked at Anakin. They were sitting alone in one of the Meditation-Rooms, the only place where they could be really alone and undisturbed.

"I think she means this is the only way", she answered, looking away. Anakin shook his head, his eyes seemed darker as he thought about it all.

"She said that, yes, but there must be something behind it", he said.

"So you're suggesting she has a plan", Farah said. "Well, it sounds a lot like her at least."

Anakin gave a short laugh.

"No, she's definitely the type that comes up with new plans every time", he said and then grew solemn again. "Do you think that there's an idea behind the split up? Maybe there's a second part where we can be together again."

"Yes, there probably is", Farah said, looking at him again. "She knows I can't part from you, she's not completely incapable of feeling."

"Yes, I saw that today", Anakin said. "I doubt I've ever seen her yell at someone."

Farah laughed at the memory, even though it had hurt when it actually happened.

"So, what shall we do?" she asked. He rose, lending her his hand to help her up.

"Maybe we should go back", he suggested. She shook her head after a while.

"No… let's just sit her and be together."

He smiled as he sat down next to her again. She placed her head on his shoulder while they looked out over the small pond in silence.

"Ani, I'm turning into a Jedi Knight this evening", Farah said after a while. "All my dreams are coming true… but without you, I can't be happy."

"I want you to be happy for this", Anakin said, wrapping his arm around her.

"How?" she asked, looking at him. "It's impossible!"

"To loose hope is definitely not the solution of the problem", Anakin said. She nodded.

"No, you're right. I trust my Master… she does not intend to split us up, not really. It's just a charade."

"You're probably right", Anakin said, giving her a hug. She hugged him back, but then she rose.

"I need to prepare for the meeting tonight", she said. He stood up in front of her.

"I'll wait for you", he said, giving her a 'good luck'-kiss. She responded to him, enjoying the taste of him, before she walked away from the meditation-room. He looked after her until she was out of sight, then he sat down again.
