AN: Finally! I'm am so, so sorry that it took so long! School mainly, and our computer has been infected with a virus that slipped in unnoticed somehow so I wasn't able to log on except with my iPod :P Horrible excuses, I know. This takes place around the beginning of Attack of the Clones, but it's before Obi-Wan learns about Kamino! And to be honest, I don't really know how old Obi-Wan is, so I guessed because, if you think about it, he's in his fifties in A New Hope so I assumed he must be in his early twenties in The Phantom Menace, and then early thirties in this movie and late thirties in Revenge of the Sith. Amy is only 29 and I should have a link for a picture of her on my profile after this is posted :)
To charliebrown1234: I hope you enjoy this first chapter! I also checked out The Clone Wars: Wild Space from my library and I'm going to start on it today! :D And my mum checked out Moulin Rouge and Long Trip Round so woohoo! Ewan McGregor marathon!
To bran4ever: I know, it's a wee bit short, but like I said, it's my first actually story. I usually write oneshots. Also, this IS only the first chapter, so hopefully I'll kick it up a notch with the second one. I also had a wee bit of writer's block which sucked majorly!
*I wasn't originally going to title the chapters, but I figured I could title them after whatever song is stuck in my head when I post them. Today, it's Lady Antebellum's song "Our Kind Of Love," obviously! lol*
**Long paragraphs-like the one below-that are italicized are flashbacks. If the the font is normal with some sentences in italics then the italicized sentences are thoughts. Most likely you'll be able to tell the difference...I hope XD**
/Our Kind Of Love\\
"C'mon, you hunk of junk!" I cried in desperation as I threw my fighter into full throttle, making it whine in protest. I didn't know how much time I had before Jango caught up with me. Probably not much. My fighter couldn't handle too much pressure, either, so I had to be careful. As I narrowly avoided an asteroid, I grimly recalled why I was in this situation…
"So, a bounty hunter sent you to do his dirty work?" The man laughed without humor. "Wouldn't happen to be the same coward who's been trying to kill Senator Amidala, would it?"
I remained silent and studied him. He must have been about 32—only three years my senior—with orange-gold hair and scruff. If I hadn't been ordered to assassinate him I would've found him extremely attractive. I kind of did, anyways.
"Watch it, Kenobi," I retorted with a glare, "I'm a bounty hunter, too, mind you." He smiled sadly.
"Unfortunately," he admitted. "The Force is strong in you, Amy. It's not too late to change."
I set my blaster on low and fired a shot to his leg. He grunted in pain as he collapsed to his knees. The wound wasn't severe, but I knew that if it wasn't tended to soon, he would bleed to death.
"I can't change, not now," I said quietly. "Sorry." And I was. I couldn't go back. Jango would murder me for sure and it would all be because I had tried to be normal again.
"Why? If you don't mind me asking?" I stared at him incredulously. "You actually want to know?" I asked him. He nodded. "Well, for obvious reasons, my boss would kill me for not listening. Another reason is that I've never failed a mission, so if I did, people wouldn't hire me anymore. And if people stopped hiring me, I'd be out of work and I wouldn't get paid."
We stared each other down for a few minutes. For a moment, I thought he was going to whip out his lightsaber and strike me down, but then I noticed that he didn't have it. He must have left it on his ship. What kind of a Jedi doesn't have his lightsaber with him at all times? I wondered.
When he spoke this time, it was through gritted teeth from the pain.
"Go ahead and kill me, then," he said, angrily. "Finish the job."
I glanced at the puddle of blood he was kneeling in. He wasn't going to last much longer, that was for sure.
I started to turn around when I looked into his eyes. It wasn't hard to get lost in them. They were a beautiful mixture of blue and grey, and filled with anger.
"Well?" Surprisingly enough, his voice was incredibly soothing, even when it cracked with pain. It was then that I got an unfamiliar feeling in my gut. One that seemed to say one thing: don't.
I froze up. I couldn't kill him, that much was obvious. Just thinking about it made my head swim. There was another thing I felt while standing there, staring at him. An emotion I'd never experienced.
I groaned and walked towards him, hauling him to his feet. I knew I was completely ignoring the orders that were given to me—for the first time ever—, but I didn't care.
Throwing his arm over my shoulder and mine around his waist, I started to walk him towards his small ship. Surely it had a medical bay. "What in the blazes are you doing?" he spat. Clearly, he was still pissed.
"I'm helping you," I said simply. "Where's your Padawan?" A young man of about 19 rushed over. "Master?" He looked worried as a droid started to bandage Obi-Wan's leg. "What happened?"
I shook my head and exited the ship. "No time. You guys have to get out of here." He stood there staring at me. "Now!"
He nodded and ran back inside. Once they were gone, I walked over to my fighter and found a holographic form of Jango waiting for me. "Well, did you kill him?"
I shook my head. "No. And you know what? I quit."
Jango looked livid. "What the hell, Amy? Don't you dare leave. I'm on my way." The hologram disappeared and I started my engines quickly, hoping I could make it to a different planet in time.
I sighed in relief as my destination came into view. A planet shining with the lights of the single city that covered its surface.
Coruscant.
Well? Like, love, or hate? If it were possible, I would mail cookies to everyone who reviews...but I can't. Mainly, because I just don't have time to make any cookies right now! ^.^ And for those of you who like Sam and Dean Winchester from Supernatural, you should go on Quizilla and look for supernaturalgirl92 because her Sam and Dean stories are AMAZING! And ralphunk on Quizilla has a beastly amazing Batman story, too. Just saying! :D
