Fifteen years ago, Anakin Skywalker has vanquished General Grievous, and Mace Windu arrested the rest of the Separatist Leaders in Mustafar, ending the destructive Clone Wars and bring peace to the Galaxy. Yet, fifteen years ago, Obi-Wan Kenobi also resigned from the Jedi Council, and decided to live his life as a Jedi hermit at... Tatooine, knowing that this is the last place Anakin will think about if he want to search him for some reasons. He knew already, that after Master Yoda calm Anakin down and gave him a mission to Utapau, to release his pent up emotions by vanquishing Grievous, Anakin is unlikely to seek revenge against his old master, but still, Obi-Wan did not want to take chances and slipped to his self-imposed exile, carrying his old shame and regret along with him. As far as he know, only two other Jedi knew his whereabouts now: Master Yoda, whom he gave his resignation letter on, as well as A'Sharad Hett, the Tusken Jedi who kindly helped him by providing him a plot of land near the location of usual Tusken Camps, as well as teaching him Tusken language, so if he need any help, he can always ask the Tuskens. For fifteen years, Obi-Wan worked as mostly anonymous negotiators to bring peace between the moisture farmers and the Tusken Tribes, and for fifteen years, peace reigns between the formerly hostile groups. They even band together already to defend themselves from the Criminal Empires run by the Hutts, but for all the times, Obi-Wan remained mostly anonymous, only known as the reclusive hermit who has the reputation as the best negotiator, the one who bring peace to Tatooine.

He heard from A'Sharad Hett, his old seat at the Jedi Council was actually given to Anakin. he cannot help but smile over the fact that after the Council sanctioned his marriage with now Chancellor Padme Amidala, the order already gave some guidelines over those who wish to marry (without being either a low fertility species, or a breakaway group of Jedi). Of course, the rules are still a bit rigid, like being ready to be sent on whatever mission the Jedi needs, as well as their force-sensitive children must be trained as Jedi, but they should not take their own children as Padawans (to maintain objective views over their training). Speaking of which, around a year and a half after the council gave the permit of marriage, he heard that Anakin and Padme got a pair of twins, Luke and Leia. Lately, A'Sharad Hett informed him that Luke has been taken by Master Yoda himself as his Padawan, and Leia are trained by Mace Windu. But well... speaking of children... even Master Yoda and A'Sharad refused to speak about his very own son... yeah, he only knew that he had a son, and his son actually took up the last name of Tano instead of Kenobi. He just accept this as the very result of his own mistake in the past, and decides not to dwell over it, but still, sometimes, he feel something is missing from his life.

So, today is just another day in his life as a Negotiator-Hermit, he wakes up, go outside his simple hut, and prepares for his daily meditation. But as he walk toward the cave he usually meditate in, he feels someone familiar, but not quite...

"Anakin..." he first said that when he sensed a thirteen year old blonde boy, with typical Padawan haircut, and a face that remind him of... "Wait... is that Anakin's son?" said Obi-Wan who then carefully look toward the small group of three Padawans, who just land from a custom-built Jedi Starfighter.

"Come on Leia, everything is fine, that bald master of yours won't even know about our little venture..." said the Human Boy toward a brown haired girl, who for somewhat reasons refused to get down from their starfighter.

"I told you Luke, if our Masters knew about this, we will be in trouble! Even I think we shouldn't gone too far..." said the girl while carefully step down.

"Meh, dad said that he was used to sneak outside when he was still a Padawan like us..." said Luke.

"But I'm afraid even your dad won't sneak away this far Luke! This is Tatooine, more than half Galaxy away from Coruscant!" said another, a bit older and taller boy, who... looks not quite human... he has some red hairs on his head, but his teeth are too sharply pointed for a human, and he has some facial markings who looks like natural. And Obi-Wan cannot really believe, that on top of his head, there are two horns... no Montrals, who stick out of his red hair...

"For the sake of the Force, Thuk! They will probably think we're sneaking out at the Undercity as usual, or at Naboo... they won't think we're here at my dad's home planet!" said Luke.

"Yeah, if only Luke and Leia Skywalker, they will just tolerate him want since his own dad also do the same at his age, but come on, what will Master Kit said when I was the one who missing?" said the boy.

"Hey, you're the one who agreed to join us, Padawan Thukul Tano. And I doubt Master Fisto would actually punish you like Master Windu does!" said Leia snobbishly.

"Oh please Princess Leia Amidala Skywalker, now what should we do?" said the boy.

"Umm... uh-oh... isn't that Mom's starship?" said Leia.

"Duh... Dad is here, quick! Run! Hide!" said Luke and the tree Padawans run toward Obi-Wan's cave.

"My son is here... with Anakin's... and I also sensed Anakin obviously chasing them up..." said Obi-Wan with a worried, awkward look on his face.

"I have bad feelings about this..." said Obi-Wan while he resign his fate to whatever will happen next.

...

THE END... or not?
