Anakin,
I'm so glad you won and weren't hurt! I can tell you're very excited about winning. What you did for Qui-Gon, Padme and Jar-Jar was an extremely kind thing to do. You went out of your way to help those who needed it and I'm sure that they will never forget you for it.
I can definately understand why you didn't want Padme around those other people. They didn't seem like the friendliest bunch of people in this section of the galaxy, did they?
As for Kitster, I sent him to help Wald and the droids to be a Pit Team incase anything went wrong on the track. Besides, I had Qui-Gon there to comfort me. He never doubted you for a second.
Oh my stars, that is alot of money you made from the pod! Do you know who bought it? I have a feeling it might be a very irritated, podless Dug...
I'm so happy for you Annie for winning. I always said you were meant for great things. I was just so worried for you. Perhaps God did put us in thsi situation to make us stronger. I've always believed that we're all here for a reason, and by the sounds of it both yourself and Qui-Gon agree with me. And following that line of reasoning I'll answer your next question: Yes, I think you were meant to meet Qui-Gon, Padme and their friends. This is too much of a coincidence to be anything other than destiny.
Annie, you sholdn't have beaten up Greedo no matter what he said. Can't change his views by beating him up, did you now? It doesn't matter what he thinks anyway. You know in your heart you didn't cheat, so what does it matter?
I love you so much Annie. I was so terrified during the race. Everytime a pod smashed all I could think was That could have been my little boy...
When Sebulba pushed you onto the servo ramp, Qui-Gon literally had to hold me back from... I don't know what I was going to do considering Sebulba was still racing in a very fast speeder, but it didn't stop me from wanting to ring his neck, the little... well, it's probably best not to put in what I think of him. There are just some words a mother doesn't want her nine-year-old son repeating. Sebulba getting his pod smashed to pieces the next time he tried something was good enough for me.
I'm so glad that you have found something you love doing, even though it absolutely terrifies me each time you do it. You never know, perhaps soon instead of racing pods, you'll be seeing th galaxy in a Starship, just like you've always dreamed.
I know you feel sad about saying goodbye to Padme, but she needs to go home to help her people, just like you helped her. Besides, it might not be goodbye forever. If you feel as strongly about someone as you say you feel about Padme, nothing can keep them apart forever, not even death.
Come home as soon as you find Qui-Gon, ok?
Shmi
