*Do you think protecting Padme will be my Trials this time?*
*Who knows Anakin, there's also the fact that while Bail remembers everything as far as we know she doesn't, though that doesn't mean that after she sees us in person she might not remember but for now we simply don't know*
*Obi-Wan what about the code?*
*That's going to take a bit of work though Yoda will subtly work on it in the meantime, but Anakin even if you have to keep your marriage a secret this time as well Yoda and I will know and will help you this time when it comes to your fears about losing her*
*My emotions were always a downside, when you were thought dead, killed by Rako Hardeen I almost lost it and Rattatak wasn't a good time period either*
*Anakin, you do realize that you might lose your mother again as well*
*I know Obi-Wan, but I think this time I'm ready for it, seeing the results over time made me realize that the night I lost my mother was only the start down the path that would make me become Vader*
*Anakin it's not wrong to miss someone you care for, I still miss Master Qui-Gon and sometimes it hurts more than others, but I move on Anakin and honor his memory through training you*
*So we're simply going to Alderaan for the remainder of our three weeks and relax?*
*Yes, Bail wants to meet us at some point though to discuss options in regards to Palpatine*
*You know we can't move right now Obi-Wan*
*Oh I know that full well Anakin, however that doesn't mean we can't start making plans now*
*Fine, but we must be careful to let things run their course until the Force tells us otherwise*
*Of course Anakin, by the way just how did Luke manage to bring you back?*
*That Obi-Wan is a story to be told when Bail is with us*
*Oh, does Leia play a part then?*
*Indeed she does, though it was mainly Luke*
They soon arrived on Alderaan and simply relaxed for a few days before Bail requested to meet with them in a secured private room
"So I know we can't exactly do anything at the moment without serious consequences but what exactly are we going to do to make sure that Palpatine doesn't kill all the Jedi again?"
"Sidious will be taken down through physical force for sure but politics are also going to play a huge part. We're going to need someone within the Senate to discretely gather evidence of Palpatine being a Sith lord or doing something else that will cause a vote of no confidence to be called, hopefully Order 66 isn't activated due to that"
"And Vader?"
"Is dead Senator Organa. Luke Skywalker with the help of his twin sister made sure of that right before Vader committed suicide by tossing Sidious down a power conduit while Sidious was using Force lightening on his son, Vader died and Anakin Skywalker returned to the light only to die himself due to the lightening damaging his life support"
"That's good to hear Knight Skywalker, now tell me how my adopted daughter helped bring Anakin Skywalker back to the light and will keep him in the light this time?"
"I found out about her through Luke, we kept fighting and Luke almost killed me due to Sidious but Luke tossed his lightsaber aside and declared himself a Jedi like me, his father. What Sidious didn't know was that finding out about Leia helped bring me back just that much more. Seeing Luke refuse to kill me and then his begging while being electrocuted by Sidious brought me back the rest of the way"
"Very well then I trust you, but Padme doesn't remember you as far as I know"
"Then we'll have to wait until I see her again to see if she will ever remember"
"Works for me. Now then I am thinking of bringing our security back to Clone Wars conditions but I have two problems with that. For one we don't have the clones yet, and those are a threat in my mind until told otherwise. For another I don't have a valid reason to bring security on my planet to Clone Wars condition"
"Well as for the clones turning on the Jedi again I deleted that Order discreetly, as for the second part of getting the planet Clone Wars ready I have absolutely no ideas how to help you"
"It might simply be Bail that you won't be able to get the planet Clone Wars battle conditions until the Clone Wars begins again"
"I was afraid you were going to say that, well the two of you are still on vacation so I'll leave you be for the rest of the time you're here"
"Thanks Bail we appreciate that"
"And Senator Organa thanks for taking care of my daughter since Padme was dead and I was...unable to be her father"
"No problem Knight Skywalker...Knight Skywalker I know I have to call you a Padawan in public but I was wondering if I could call you by your name in private"
"I would appreciate it Senator Organa, though I know we are no where's near close enough to be considered friends at this point in time"
"No Anakin, as an ally against Sidious and a person who successfully renounced the dark side I proclaim you as a friend and insist in private that you call me Bail"
"Very well...Bail"
"By the way unless circumstances have forced you not to, are you getting as confused about not having something that's common during the Clone Wars as I sometimes am?"
"Not really Bail, though for six and a half months we wished requirements were like during the Clone Wars"
"Yes I heard you were missing"
"Not our fault I assure you"
"Of course not Obi-Wan, like you said requirements are much different right now then when the Clone Wars were happening, though I think I surprised my staff a few times muttering to myself and going places where I currently don't need to go"
"Oh?"
"Emergency generator and transmitter room is close by...or at least it will be after the Wars start up again, it's jam proof so that we don't lose communications unlike what Naboo went through in regards to the Trade Federation, but it's not perfect and to be honest we were never entirely sure it was jam proof because it was never tested"
"You didn't test equipment before use Bail? I'm shocked you always tested equipment whenever I was around you"
"Don't forget Obi-Wan, this was early in the war and quite frankly we didn't have the time needed to test the system except in a real live emergency"
"You are of course right I forgot myself for a moment"
"No problem, just don't let it happen again please?"
"No promises I'm afraid but I will do my best"
For the rest of their break Anakin and Obi-Wan simply relaxed and enjoyed not having missions, some of which hadn't even happened yet. Both knew that the 19 years between meetings wasn't really a vacation for either person so they truly were relaxing for the first time since the beginning of the Clone Wars. Bail had been given almost a year of rest and when both meditated on why the Force decided that Bail would remember they were surprised by the answer that the Force gave them
