Little pitter patter of feet was the only sound in the left wing quarter halls of the Jedi temple at this time of day. Anakin Skywalker was heading towards Master Qui-Gon's room. He opened the door and stepped into a small room, not much different from his, and looked around. The shades were down and he stepped forwards, hoping to notice the long haired Master. He walked through the only open door in the place and stopped in the doorway, still a bit scared of what could happen if Master Qui-Gon gets mad at him for interrupting his privacy. Anakin was still getting used to the whole ordeal and the Jedi traditions. He stared at the big heap on the bed in front of him, a head with long brown hair sticking out at the end. With slow and steady moves he got onto the bed and started shaking the master, ready to wake him up. When that didn't help he started pulling his hair slowly.
"Master Qui-Gon! Wake up! You promised!" Anakin said still tugging on the brown, almost gray, hair. Qui-Gon moved slightly and Anakin landed on the floor with a thud. "Ouch!" Anakin whined as he tapped his lower back. He got on the bed again, hoping to finally wake the master... again.
"Okay, okay! I'm up." Qui-Gon yawnd as he straightened up and sat on the edge of his bed, his feet touching the floor.
"Finally!" Anakin sighed as he grabbed the master's hand and led them out of the dorm. "Where are we going today?"
"To the roof." They walked down the looong, for Anakin endless, hallways until they finally reached a long narow staircase that led them to the highest point of the temple. The sun was about to rise and slowly the city started to rise with it. Anakin stared off in awe at the amazing city.
"The view is beautiful, isn't it?" Qui-Gon reached into his pocket and pulled out a small white bar, unknown to Anakin. He started at it for a while and then looked over the edge to see how far up they were. "Do you want one? I have a few with me for hunger."
"Those thing are for eating?" Jinn laughed and handed him a bar. "Of course. You never eaten one before?"
"No."
"Well then, there's always a first time for everything." The sound of them breaking the bars in half with their teeth filled the silence around them as the sun signed into their back, not reaching its full strength.
After a while of silence, after they were both done with their breakfast, after Anakin tested Jinn's patience and almost jumped off the roof, after a long conversation about how he should never do that, Jinn motioned to Anakin to sit down next to him so that they could talk. Anakin immediately stopped running around and sat down, not wanting to anger his Master. They sat in silence until Anakin looked at Qui-Gon Jinn who was staring down at him, a big bright smile spread across his face. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm ok."
"You seem still affected by yesterday. I know it was a shock to see all those people there just for you."
"Do I really mean that much to them?"
"There is a big conflict raging on among people in the galaxy, you know that. People need some hope, something that is going to keep them optimistic in this time of crisis. That is you."
"I'm hope?" Anakin grabbed the loose ends of his shoes and started playing with them, twisting them one way and then the other.
"You represent it. Everyone is born with a certain role in the universe, I believe that, and you are here because it is your destiny to put an end to this matter. To stop the Sith from creating more chaos."
"But I'm just a boy."
"I'm not saying it is your duty to do it now, but in time you will use your skill for good. You will use it to make a difference. Not now, but in time."
"But can't the Jedi do it on their own. They are much stronger and older, wiser than me and they're bigger in number. They can do it, not me."
"Even Jedi, such as myself, aren't that strong. We are peacekeepers who fight to keep the peace and you can-... It sound a bit ironic, doesn't it? And I agree, but that's not the point. We are failing slowly and..." Qui-Gon looked away from Anakin as he lost track of words. He wanted to explain to Anakin what he was and what was going on in the galaxy, using only the simplest way possible, without letting it turn into a one-sided debate about the system and his thoughts on what the Jedi were doing wrong...
"You just need to understand that y-" the beeping of his communicator cut him off and he slowly apologized before answering. "Qui-Gon."
"Master, forgive me for my intrusion on your days off, but I and Xanatos could use your help in the lower levels of the temple. There's been a bit of a situation and, well-" a lot of static stared coming through, cutting them off.
"Obi-Wan? Obi-Wan? Obi-Wan, can you hear me?" Anakin listened closely to what was going on as he looked over the edge of the roof to see if there was anything visibly going on in the lower levels of the temple, but it all seemed clear.
