Still Rollin! ? Enjoy!
"Has she said anything about herself? Anything that would suggest that she could be force-sensitive?" Qui-Gon asks into his commlink as Obi-Wan had tried contacting him shortly after he had lay Camari down to rest.
"She told me about her dreams and how they would become reality. She said she saw dark things about the boy and his mother. She is resting now, but I'm worried about her, Master." Obi-Wan replies as a frown takes over the features of his face.
"Be mindful of your thoughts Obi-Wan. We will take her to the Council and they will decide her future." Qui-Gon tells him and Obi-Wan takes into consideration of his warning. It was just before this mission he had fallen in love but he had stayed faithful to the Jedi Order and the code and did not follow through with his emotions. He felt the same sensation within his core that he felt previously but he knew he had to take control of it.
"Yes Master, inform me when the race is over." Obi-Wan then ends the connection and sits in the cockpit alone pondering over his thoughts.
At midday, Qui-Gon returned to the ship with the rest of the parts and was greeted by Obi-Wan and I.
"See, I told you he could do it!" I cheer with joy as I hit Obi-Wan on the arm and then helped the soldiers take the parts inside before running back to see that Qui-Gon was still here.
"Are Anakin and Shmi coming with you?" I ask as I try to look out the distance to see if they were behind him but I was some disappointed at the emptiness of the desert sands.
"I'm afraid I was only able to bargain Anakin's freedom. Shmi will still be under the control of Watto." Qui-Gon informs me and I felt a tight pull at my chest. "I'm sorry, but I was never originally here to free slaves." He speaks and I shake the memory of the nightmare of Shmi away before looking up at him and smiling.
"Having Anakin is enough, at least he can see the Galaxy for what it is." I say and then Qui-Gon bids his farewells and I return to the hyperdrive to begin my work; with the help of Obi-Wan that is.
"Are you excited to be leaving this planet?" Obi-Wan asks as we wired the last part into the mainframe.
"If it means escaping this rock, I would have done anything." I reply with a smile before turning to look at him. "Even taking you down and taking this ship." Her joke doesn't rub off well with Obi-Wan as he frowns at her. "I'm kidding. I couldn't take on a Jedi Master." I tell him before I look back at the hyperdrive and take the spare part from his hand.
"And, she's done. Good as new." I say as I stand and let my goggles fall to my neck again.
"Good, I'll let the pilots know." Obi-Wan says and then leaves. I sigh once I am alone and stare off into space. I reach into my bag and pull out the lightsaber that I had repaired and wondered if I would meet the Jedi who had lost their weapon of peace. I would return with Anakin one day to free his mother and we would live on Coruscant, happy and away from this hell.
I walk to the cockpit and when there I see a startling sight as Anakin was running towards the ship while Qui-Gon fought with a creature. They were matching one another with their combat and I began to panic slightly. Anakin and Obi-Wan soon walk into the cockpit with the pilots and Obi-Wan instructs them to fly low near Qui-Gon. The three of us rush down to the hanger where Qui-Gon was lay panting for air.
Obi-Wan and Anakin asked him questions such as, was he okay and what the creature he just fought. Then Qui-Gon introduced Anakin to Obi-Wan and they shook hands. Once the formalities were out of the way and we all stood up, I pulled Anakin in an embrace we both stood there happy to see one another and happy to be leaving the rock we had lived on our entire lives so far.
The travel to Coruscant was much longer than both Anakin and I expected and I soon found myself tucking him with blankets in the seats I had slept the previous night.
"Camari, do you ever think we'll see her again?" Anakin asks me and I can see the hurt in his features. I run my hand through his hand to sooth him of his mind.
"One day, we'll go and rescue her and take her away from that rock. We'll all be happy. I promise you Anakin. I won't leave her there" I promise him and he smiles at me before I press a kiss to his temple and then leave him to rest for the evening.
I walked to the cockpit and saw Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in the middle of a conversation.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt." I apologise as I begin to back out of the cockpit.
"No, Camari you didn't interrupt. In fact, I wanted to speak with you." Qui-Gon tells me as he gestures for me to join them.
"What can I do for you?" I ask while crossing my arms against my chest and leaning back against one of the counters.
"Anakin has the highest midichlorian count that I have ever, he exceeds the count of one of the strongest Jedi." He informs me and I start putting one and two together.
"He'll become a Jedi, will he not?" I ask and look between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon who both hold uncertain looks on their features.
"It will be The Council who decide upon that. But you will be taking to be tested too." I raise my eyebrows in surprise at the news of myself being involved in the idea of Jedi's.
"I won't be able to train. From all the rumours on Tatooine, you have to be a child to begin the training." I say with bewildered eyes and shaking hands.
"Your age will be a little difficult to work around, but under the right Master, you could become a brilliant Jedi." Qui-Gon smiles at me and pats my shoulder with his hand. I look down at my hands as I'm at a little loss for words about this situation.
"I'll take it into consideration." I look up at Qui-Gon and his smile was warm and reassuring. "Would I be able to see Anakin as we both trained?" I ask as I imagine the possibility of watching him grow up as a Jedi.
"Most likely." Qui-Gon replies.
After the conversation with Qui-Gon, I had decided to go and sit in the hanger as I tinkered away with my device again. I had taken it apart and was working from the start. I had repaired it but due to being restless, I thought it would be a great idea to rebuild it and maybe add a few new features to it.
"You should be resting." I jump out of my skin as I turn around and see Obi-Wan stood in the doorway. He walks over to me and join me on the floor, crossing his legs and holding his knees with his wrists interlocked around them.
"I couldn't sleep so I decided to rebuild my little machine here." I reply and gesture to the pieces that were all scattered in an orderly fashion on the floor.
"What will it do?" He asks and I could hear the curiosity seep through his voice.
"Originally, it was going to be my transmitter to contact anyone in the Republic for help. But now, I'm not too sure." I reply and twirl a piece in my hand before looking back towards Obi-Wan.
"Do you think I have any chance at being a Jedi?" I ask him and he looks a little taken back before he takes a deep breath before answering.
"What do your feelings tell you?" He asks and I shake my head and shrug my shoulders.
"I don't like to hold out onto to hope for things, saves for being disappointed later." I tell him and he frowns.
"But why? Hope can take you to incredible places. It gives those who have nothing a chance to see a future they can aim for." He tells me and I tilt my head slightly as I think about his words. But, why was he trying to make me so happy? Why was he pushing the idea of having hope onto me?
"Have you ever played chess?" I ask and he gives me a questioning look.
