19! Almost 20! Are you excited? I am! I love writing this for you guys! This story is almost up sadly :(.. I have a new story plot in mind though, I don't know about it though. I will hint that it involves Anakin, Padme' and Ahsoka. Any ways! I hope you like this chapter! R&R!


"Where are we?" Lux asked looking around at all the old pieces of scrap metal.

"Trash bay; They store garbage in here - when the garbage room is full, they drop in to the planets core." Anakin said as he searched for a lever or a button to open a door so they could get out.

"How did you manage to come up with that?" Padme' asked watching her husband.

"The cracked in the floor runs down the middle, it's the split between the doors… Here it is!" Anakin said as he pulled a lever which he thought opened the door to the hall way. It didn't.

Sudden'y the floor opened up and the three went falling.

Luckily Padme' got a hold on Lux's foot while Lux held onto Anakin's while Anakin held onto the edge. What a fine mess they had gotten themselves into.

"Blast it!" Anakin yelled in shocked and partial anger. His robotic hand was growing weak under all the weight.

"Great! How are we gonna get out of this one!" Lux shouted to Anakin

Anakin looked around sucking up every little detail the trash shoot had to offer. He looked to the left, nothing, he looked to the right, nothing, he looked up, nothing, he looked down, ah ha!

"Look, down there! It's a platform!" Anakin shouted in excitement," Lux, if i start swinging do you think you could let go and land it?"

"Possibly, but then how are you guys going to get down?" Lux asked.

"You could find an exit down there and find your way back up here and pull me up!" Anakin shouted to the bottom of their chain.

"Well then what are we waiting for! Start swinging!" Padme' said as she began to lose circulation in her ankle from all of Lux's weight.

Anakin began swinging back and forth, back and forth. He knew he had to be careful, if he swung to fast and hit the wall, he knew it might cause Padme' to fall.

"Get ready kid!" Anakin yelled to Lux," three, two, one, GO!"

As soon as he got the signal, he went flying threw the air and was able to land

on the platform .

"Yes! He made it!" Padme' squealed in joy.

"Good! Now find an exit!" Anakin shouted to Lux who was farther away now.

"Got it!" Lux said and darted threw the door.

After Lux had exited the room Anakin said,"Well, this isn't our most romantic evening together."

Padme' laughted,"Maybe not, but I find any evening with you enjoyable."

Anakin smiled down at her.

Lux wondered aimlessly down the halls looking for an elevator or stairs or even a ladder.

"Come on! There has to be something!" He said turning one more corner only to find two battle droids. He watched as they guarded the door to the elevator.

"Blast it! battle droids.." He said as he stepped back behind the wall attempting to come up with a plan; then it hit him.

Lux revealed himself to the droids as he walked out from behind the wall.

"Hey, who are you?" One of the droids asked as he walked up to Lux.

"Maintenance boy!" Lux said trying to sound as cheerful as possible.

"You seem a little young to be a part of the maintenance crew, let me see your identification." The droid commanded.

Lux put his hand in his pocket desperately feeling around for his old separatist I.D. card. When he didn't find it in his pocket, he started to worry that he had thrown it out. But he still had one more pocket to check so hopefully it was there, and to his surprise, it was!

"Here!" he said excitedly pulling to card out of his left pocket.

The droid examined it closely.

"It seems to check out…" The droid said.

The droid looked him up and down and finally believed what Lux had said was true.

"He's ours." The droid said to the other droid.

The droid got back in place as Lux went into the elevator.

When Lux was finally standing in the elevator he over-heard the droids conversation.

"Good, I was afraid it might be that escaped jedi!" The other droid said.

What! Ahsoka had escaped! Lux couldn't believe his ears; He didn't know if he should feel happy that she was loose or if he should be annoyed that their search would only take longer now.

The elevator doors closed and rose stopping on the floor that he, Anakin and Padme' had entered threw.

He darted down the hall as soon as the door slid open. He didn't really know whether or not he was heading in the right direction or not but he had ran to far to turn back now.

It was just a matter of minutes when the door of the trash bay came into view.

"That's it!" He said excitedly as he sprinted to the door. he hit the button closest to the door and the door slid open.

The doors in the floor were still wide open and Anakin, along with Padme', were still hanging.

"It's about time you got here!" Anakin said sensing Lux presence.

"Sorry! I ran into some droids on my way…" he replied thinking back to what one of the droids had said, good I was afraid it was that escaped jedi!

"Hey! You know, it would be nice if you helped us out of here!" Anakin said growing impatient and tired.

"Oh, yah, sorry…" Lux said as he quit his day dreaming and helped Anakin and Padme' up. After they were out he pushed the button to close the door to the trash bay.

"I sense something is bothering you." Anakin said facing Lux.

"Yes, I heard one of the droids say that a Jedi had escaped captivity.." Lux said still unsure what to feel.

"Leave it up to Ahsoka to break out as soon as help arrives!" Anakin said slightly smirking about his padawan's actions.

"What should we do?" Padme' asked," If we split up, we would have a better chance of finding her more quickly, but if we run into trouble, someone might get injured…"

"What do you recommend, master jedi?" Lux asked.

"In a group we would have a stronger force, but… I say we split up, the quicker we find Ahsoka, the quicker we get out of here." Anakin said uncertain of whether he had made the right decision.

"Agreed." Lux said nodding his head in approval.

"Wait but where is the rendezvous point?" Padme' asked narrowing her eyes.

"I say we meet it here since our exit is already pre-made!" Lux said laughing at his joke as he pointed one finger at the hole where they had entered.

"Sounds good!" Padme' said as she laughed, but then she suddenly stopped," But what if we don't find her?"

A worried look began to grow on her face.

"Don't talk like that!" Anakin said angrily in response to Padme'.

Padme' had forgotten how attached Anakin was to his apprentice and spoke with out thinking.

"I'm sorry.." Anakin apologized as he dropped his head," I'm just a little stressed out…"

"It's ok.." Padme' said smiling at her sorry husband.

He looked up and smiled back at her," Let's go!"

And the three were off!


There you have it! Everyone made it out ok! The next chapter will have Ahsoka in it so don't worry :) Once again don't forget to R&R!
