From Earth to Star Wars

Part Two: Post TPM by about four years. (Anakin is about thirteen.)

Meagan comes back to Star Wars and meets up with now Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker. Follows the movies, but is an AU. (Caution.) Ours does have a bit of a twist to it.

Chapter Ten

**Anakin's point of view**

I stood before the entire Jedi Council, knowing every one of them was looking right at me, seizing me up. I kept my breathing, calm and even, not at all worried. Master Obi-Wan and Meagan were meant to be together, no matter what they thought. (Though I kept that thought deep inside, not wanting to ruffle any feathers.)

After a very long moment, Master Windu spoke up. "Padawan Skywalker, I am assuming that you know why we have sent for you today."

"Yes Masters." I said, letting them do the talking for now.

"Good." Master Windu nodded, then they proceeded with the questioning. "Tell us what you know about your Master and Meagan."

I raised an eyebrow, not at all expecting to have an open-ended statement. "I know that they care for each other and want to pledge themselves to each other."

"Did they discuss this with you?"

"Yes, Master and I discussed this at length before he approached Master Yoda. I know, as well as they do that the Force has brought them together."

"Why do you say that Young Padawan?" One asked and I turned slightly to answer her.

"Because when they let down their shields, even I can feel the pull of the Force between them. It's like they belong together. He changes when she's around him."

"Changes? How so?"

I sighed, it was hard to describe the differences I'd seen in him since her return close to four months ago. "Meagan opens him up, encourages him. It's so hard to describe, but I know it's there."

"Do you feel like he's neglected you that he has other interests?"

I shook my head. "No, not at all. They do spend time alone together, but their relationship has not hurt our bond."

"So you are not concerned at all about this?"

I smiled. "None. They belong together and Master Obi-Wan will still be the dedicated Jedi that he is, whether he and Meagan marry or not."

"When did he first bring this up to you?"

"I actually asked him first."

That caused some raised eyebrows, except from Master Yoda, who pointed his ginger stick at me, speaking for the first time. "Know about this you did. Even before they did."

I nodded. "Yes Master. I sensed that they cared for each other, but it took both of them a while to discover it and even longer for them to decide to act on it."

"What did he say when you first brought it up?"

"That they were just friends. I think at that time they were just beginning to care for each other, not seeing what I could."

"Which was?"

"That they belonged together and really loved each other."

The Council remained quiet for another long time before another Master spoke again. "And the second time?"

"He told me they had feelings for each other, but they had a lot of other things to consider before making a commitment to each other." Where in the world did all these big words come from? Must be from my Basic class, oh well.

"And did they consider it during the last months?"

"I believe they did." I didn't add that the building blowing up on Tigress was really the changing point. However, it wasn't long before they brought it up, asking how they reacted during that mission. Luckily they both did their jobs and made the right decisions, not allowing their feelings to come in the way. I was proud to be able to tell them that.

Finally, after some more questions, which I didn't think really mattered, they dismissed me.

I exited the doors and turned a corner to find Master Obi-Wan leaning casually against a wall. He raised an eyebrow as a greeting.

"They said they wanted to discuss what we discussed and then they would call Meagan."

He nodded, still deep in thought. "Go on back to class. They might discuss your statements for a while and then talk to the two of us for twice as long."

After all of that, I still wouldn't hear the final outcome. "They won't make a decision soon uh?"

Obi-Wan smiled. "Afraid not Padawan." He gently squeezed my shoulders. "Thank you."

I smiled back, shrugging slightly. "I just told the truth."

He nodded again as we turned down toward the turbo lift. I soon went back to class and Obi-Wan either went to meditate or find Meagan.

*******

**Meagan's point of view**

It was in the early afternoon that the Council called me to discuss my relationship to Obi-Wan Kenobi. After Anakin's time, Obi-Wan had come to me and we discussed what Anakin had told him and talked about what they could talk to me about. I soon found myself growing tense. So, we took a walk through the gardens, with the gently touch of the grass beneath my feet and the soft breezes against my face, soothing my nerves. So, when they finally called me, thanks to Obi-Wan, the Force and the peacefully Temple Gardens, I was prepared.

So, I stood, completely alone, in front of the twelve wisest and powerful Jedi in the entire galaxy, to discuss my wanting to marry a Jedi Master. At first I just stood, knowing they were sensing me with the Force, testing my emotions toward this meeting and Obi-Wan. I seemed to have passed because Yoda smiled at me encouragingly. I smiled back as Master Windu turned his gaze from the other Masters to myself.

"We have called you here to discuss your relationship with Master Kenobi."

"Yes Master." I somehow managed not to say no duh and waited for the bombardment of questions to come.

"Do you realize how difficult this marriage could be?"

"I am well aware that it won't easy to be married to a Jedi Master with a Padawan. I know there will be times where I won't know where my husband is because it will endanger them and their mission. I'm not in this relationship because it will be easy, but because our commitment to each other makes it all worth it."

"So you honestly think that you two belong together as young Skywalker has told us?"

I couldn't help, but smile at his words. I turned slightly to address the one that spoke, trying to be polite. "Yes, the Force has brought me here for many purposes. One, for the children I work with. My experiences on Earth have enabled me to work with children and be a blessing to them. And secondly, Obi-Wan and I are soul mates. He understands me better than anyone." I paused, well knowing I had their attention. "He helped me see that I needed to grieve for the loss of my Father. He knew how it felt and how to deal with losing someone so close to, so suddenly and so violently. He helped me deal with it and it's brought us together. I know without his guidance and support, I wouldn't be doing as well as I am now."

They thought on this for a moment or two before continuing. "What if you return to Earth like you have before?"

"Then I return to Earth." I shrugged the question off as I continued. "The Force has not brought me here twice just to take me back home so quickly. I know that my stay here will be for a longer duration, especially since Obi-Wan and I have been brought together in a serious relationship."

"But what will happen if you do?" The question persisted.

"I can't lie to you saying it wouldn't be hard to be separated, but that is a risk that we are willing to take because we can't deny the events that have brought us together." I knew that they were forcing me to answer that question, but I expected it. "Obi-Wan and I love each other. That won't change if I go back to Earth or not or if we marry or not. I would rather be married to him for a day in this galaxy than to someone back on Earth for an entire lifetime."

"How would it effect him?"

I shifted my feet as I spoke again. "He would be hurt, just as I would be, but there would be no doubt in my mind that he would never stop being the Jedi Master that he is. He is a Jedi through and through and my relationship with him will never change what he has dedicated his very life to."

"So you understand that his duties will often take priority over you?"

"Yes, I do understand that his being a Jedi and training Anakin will be a major part of his life. I wouldn't want to be the reason why he takes that away from himself. It's too much a part of him. He wouldn't be the same man."

The Masters all looked at each other, seemingly to gauge reactions to my statements before Windu spoke again, his dark eyes gazing into mine. "Why even go through it all then?"

I stared right back at him. "Because of the love and support we give each other. To have someone to hold when things aren't going just right. To have someone close to talk to you when you aren't sure what to do. Being a Jedi isn't easy and it hasn't been easy adjusting to a life so different than what I lived before, but having someone who knows you better than anyone else and your bond with them is so strong, it makes it all worth it, makes it worth trying for."

"You two have often discussed this?" Windu spoke again.

"Yes." I glanced around, seeing no hint of what they were thinking in their faces. "Obi-Wan and I know the risks that our relationship brings, but we know through meditating together that the Force has brought us together. Nothing can change that or our love for each other."

The questions, of all sorts, continued. They asked about how I thought Anakin was affected, the children and other Jedi I worked with, the entire works. I was in there for several hours discussing everything possible with them before they dismissed me. Needless to say, I didn't realize how exhausted I was until I made it back to my room, laying down on the couch, my head pillowed on Obi-Wan's lap.

"You're next you know." I pointed out. He was completely calm and collected.

"Not for a while. They will discuss and mediate about your session before they even begin mine."

I could only imagine how much they would discuss and ask Obi-Wan about. "Then they will discuss this all night?"

Obi-Wan shrugged. "They might, but I doubt that since this is not an immediate dangerous situation. My guess is that they will sleep on it, mediate, discuss it some more, mediate…."

I waved a hand through the air. "I get the point."

We remained quiet until Obi-Wan was called by the Council. As he rose, he gently kissed me. "Don't wait up for me. It will be quite late when I'm through. We can discuss this at breakfast tomorrow."

"I'll cook." Their breakfast was often what I could only describe as dry bland cereal.

"All right. I'll let you know before I come over."

I nodded and watched him leave the room, praying that it went well.

*******

**Obi-Wan's point of view**

I stood patiently inside the Council room, knowing they were trying to gauge myself. I knew Meagan had been worked up, but managed to come through it all right, but for some reason I couldn't worry. I knew that we would be together, no matter what this Council ruled. There was a peace in my heart that I couldn't describe. And I knew that they sensed this as well.

So, then the questions, which weren't always easy, but expected, started. "Did you actually think that Meagan would come back into this galaxy to have a relationship with you?"

I weighed my words carefully. "When she left the first time, I felt very connected to her, but I had no inkling that she would return. Or that our relationship would progress this far if she did."

"But now you do?"

"After she returned to us, we've been able to discover that the will of the Force has brought us together and that we love each other very much."

"Why do you think that?"
"We compliment each other. She brings much needed enthusiasm into my life, but at the same time her presence is so calm, soothing to my soul. We're connected. I wasn't looking for a Force bond with her, but it was just there. The missions that happened in and around the Temple and off planet, kept pushing us together." I paused glancing around at all the members of the Jedi Council. "When we mediate together, the Force enlightens us to a path that we take together. When she first arrived, we didn't see how our lives would be connected, but as time went on and we grew together, it slowly let us see that we are life mates." I didn't add that my dreams and Anakin's visions also included a little girl. I still hadn't figured out who she was, but was getting a nagging feeling that she was a part of the future.

"It is very well that you and Meagan care for each other, but what about your Padawan?"

"Anakin will become a Jedi Knight. I have no intention of stopping his training because of a commitment to Meagan. He and my duties as a Jedi, to this Council, the Republic and its people, will still be my priority. Meagan and I will live our lives serving, protecting and taking care of others. Nothing that I've done before will change now, except there will be another person involved."

"Another person from another galaxy mind you."

"I could never forget that Meagan is not from here, but to me that doesn't matter. I love her for who she is, not where she comes from."

"What if she returns to her own galaxy?"

"We both believe that since the Force brought her for us to be one, it won't take her back anytime in the near future. However, if we are wrong and she does go back, both Anakin and I will grieve for the loss, but I will still do my duty."

"And are you sure about this?"

"I am a Jedi. I have always been and always will be one. Nothing will ever change that."

Yoda gave me a firm nod, well knowing how series and committed I was to that as another spoke. "And does she know this?"

"Yes, Meagan and I have thoroughly discussed that my duties to Anakin and the Jedi won't change once we pledge ourselves to each other. She didn't expect it to change either."

They remained quiet for another long moment, quietly thinking about what we had discussed thus far, then briefly discussing the mission on Tigress, before moving on.

"And what does your Padawan think?"

"He approves it. We discussed this thoroughly before I brought this petition to Master Yoda. He knows it in no way will affect his training. In fact, Anakin has been encouraging a relationship between Meagan and I, knowing that the Force has brought us together. So far, this has not effected our bond. He and Meagan get along very well and seem to understand each other, especially since he misses his mother and how she is away from her own family. They trust each other."

"And what of your own Master?" Now that question through me for a loop for a second or two. "What would Qui-Gon think?"

"I believe he would encourage it." I started out slowly, trying to recall my impressions of his relationship to Tahl all those years ago. "He had known love and it made him a better man, Master, and Jedi. I hope it will have the same affects on me as it did him. He did grieve when Tahl became one with the Force, but I know he wouldn't have traded the time he spent with her. He would tell me that her love is a gift and to listen to the will of the Force and follow the path it's laid out for me."

"Like him you are." Yoda said, breaking the silence that followed my statement, all giving the remembrance to my fallen Master. "Dedicated Jedi he was, but knew life he did."

I couldn't have received a better compliment. "Thank you Master."

Yoda gazed at me for a second or two before glancing to Windu, who nodded and continued the discussion that lasted late into the night.

It was the next morning as I arrived at Meagan's quarters that she nearly ran me over. "Well?"

I stepped away from the door, leading her into the small kitchen. "They will discuss it, mediate on it and then make a decision. How long it will take them, I don't know."

She nodded. "Come on, I have breakfast ready."

"Smells wonderful, but what is it?" I knew it was something that was probably close to something on Earth.

"Well, at home we call it pancakes and bacon. I have no idea what you call it, but it's good for you anyway."

I couldn't help, but smile as we ate and then spent most of the day together.

*******

It was close to a week later as I was finishing my morning routine when Master Yoda stopped by. Now that was unusual, usually you were called to him, but if he stopped by to see you, it was of monumental importance. I knew as I let him in that the Council had decided about the marriage.

He wasted no time. "Approved they did of your relationship with Meagan." He paused as I smiled slightly, sighing with relief. "However, interfere it will not with your duties. Consequences will follow if you do. Separated you two will be or dismissed from the Jedi you will be."

This wasn't unexpected. "Thank you Master. We understand that."

He smiled, almost what Meagan would call a cheesy grin. "Good. Free to marry whenever you please you two are. Invite me to the ceremony you will."

I tried not to laugh at that. "Yes Master."

With that he left, and I stood there for some time in thought of how I could tell Meagan without just telling her. I was trying to plan a nice dinner when Anakin stopped by between classes.

"Master are you alright? You look awfully nervous." He stared into my eyes. "You got their approval didn't you? And you're going to tell her sometime soon aren't you?"

I gave him a sharp glance. "And what gives you that idea?"

"Oh, I don't know. You were pacing like a caged animal when I first came in here and mumbling to yourself about asking her to marry you." Anakin was grinning from ear to ear by now. "Admit it Master. You are going to propose aren't you?"

I sighed, facing his smirking face, but couldn't have been more pleased with the day's events. "Yes, I am and a nervous wreck too."

Anakin laughed. "What's there to be nervous about? It's not like she's going to say no. You two are crazy about each other."

"Anakin." I faked a growl. "You try asking a woman to marry you."

Anakin laughed again. "Well, what's the plan? Can I help?"

Anakin led me over to the sofa and we sat down, trying to plan a date on last notice.

*******

**Obi-Wan's point of view**

That night I rang Meagan's bell and within seconds her door slid open. I told her that we were going somewhere nice and to dress up, but she absolutely took my breath away. "Meagan." It took me a moment to find my voice. "You're breath taking."

"Thank you." Her face glowed at the compliment and as she buried her face in the flowers I gave her. "Please come in while I put these in water."

I followed her into the kitchen as she took care of the flowers. I found I could not take my eyes off of her.

She turned back to me, stepping close to me, kissing my cheek. I gently reached out and traced a pattern on her soft face. She leaned into the touch, a smile on her face. I pulled her chin up as my other arm went around her. She didn't resist as my lips fell upon hers in a sweet embrace. She sighed contently as we pulled away a few minutes later.

"You ready to go?" I asked her, looking down at the strong beautiful woman that I held close, whom I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

She nodded as I helped her with her robe. We soon left the Jedi Temple and went down to a nice restaurant in a nicer section of town. Meagan later told me that it reminded her of several places back home that were very nice, but not too terribly fancy. Though the best part was the small table with candlelight, tucked in a far corner, away from everything else.

Meagan smiled at the arrangement. "How did you pull this off? I know you didn't do this yourself."

"Dex pulled a few strings for me and I had Anakin's help." I reached out and squeezed her hands across the table. "Dexter said it was about high time I loosened up and found someone."

Meagan laughed at that. "He's right. Remind me to go and thank him for this later. He can be a little ruff sometimes, but he's heart is in the right place." The two had met when we stopped by for a drink sometime ago.

After we finished eating, we headed out to the nearby park.

"Obi-Wan what is it?" She asked me, breaking me from my thoughts of asking this creature the Force nearly dropped back into my lap four months ago, to marry me.

I shook my head, hoping she didn't pick up on my thoughts. "Nothing, why do you ask?"

She gave me a skeptical look. "I can't put my finger on it, but something is on your mind."

I couldn't help, but grin at her incredible insight. "And what makes you think that?"

She laughed and I cherished the sound. "Your eyes. You do have something up your sleeve."

I raised my eyebrows at her off expression, but I knew I could tease her senseless. "Up your sleeve?"

"Expression from Earth." She squeezed the arm she was holding. "Tell me, please Obi-Wan, tell me."

I nearly gave in at the look in her eyes. "I still don't know what you are talking about. There is nothing up my sleeve."

She gave me a I don't believe you look, but fell silent as we continued to walk slowly and gaze up at the twinkling stars above.

"Are we going to the park?" She asked me a few moments later as we walked through the trees.

"Yes." I answered as we came out to a clearing and entered it.

She held her breath as she gazed at the beauty of trees with the moon shinning on it. "Isn't it wonderful?"

I smiled, not at the sight of something I've known since childhood, but at the glow of the moonlight on Meagan's face. Her closeness was becoming intoxicating.

She glanced up to find me watching her closely. "You're not even looking."

I lowered my head to mere inches from her. "I don't even need to."

Even in the dark, I saw her face flush with pleasure. "Obi-Wan really."

With that, I dropped my lips over hers. Immediately she returned the kiss, as I pulled her tightly against me. I felt her soft hands around my neck and through my hair.

It was several long minutes later when we finally pulled our lips away from each other, more than breathless from the passion in the kisses. The only movement she made was to place her head on my shoulder and sighed contently. The small sound did nothing to help calm my beating heart.

"You know Meagan." I started out slowly after we finally caught our breath. "I've been thinking."

"About what?" Came the quiet response.

"I think you should move." I said, wanting to get her to react, which it did.

She pulled away, looking up at me in utter confusion. "Move? Why should I move? And where would I go anyway?"

I shrugged my shoulders lightly. "Oh, I don't know. Try my bigger apartment."

She gasped as she searched my face, getting the meaning that the Jedi Council approved our relationship.

I tightened my arms around her and lowered my forehead until it was touching hers. I gazed deeply into the deep sea of green that was her eyes. My heart was pounding. "I love you with everything that's in me, Meagan. Will you marry me?"

I could see the tears running down her cheeks. I gently reached out and wiped them away.

She nodded her head a few minutes later. "Yes, Obi-Wan, I'll marry you."

With that, I picked up her up in my arms, twirling her. She laughed with delight as we began to kiss again. It was quite some time later that we made it back to her apartment.

Once inside, I pulled her close. "Goodnight my love."

She smiled and I knew she liked the endearment. "I love you."

I leaned down and we shared several deep kisses. "I love you too."

"Night."

"Night." Before I ended up staying there for the night, I turned and left, heading back to my place. I knew Anakin was more than likely waiting for me, wanting to hear the details.

*******

**Meagan's point of view**

I was walking through the gardens, just enjoying the beauty of the trees, flowers, waterfalls and the river. I slipped off my socks and shoes and waded through the river. The water was clear and bright and I couldn't help, but giggle at the warmth that splashed on my ankles. After playing for a while, I started to walk through the paths. This place was so peaceful and quiet. It soothed my soul. I was just about to head to my quarters when I saw Garen Mullan coming toward me.

"Hello Meagan." He greeted me with a short bow and slight smile.

"It's nice to see you again Garen." I said, getting the feeling he still hadn't quite warmed up to the fact I was marrying a friend of his, especially since it had gotten around that the Council approved our relationship less than a week before. "You just get back from a mission?"

"Yes, Pilot Jedi Knight Garen Mullan at your service my lady."

I laughed as we kept walking down another pathway. "So, your job is to fly Jedi across the entire galaxy?"

"So it seems, but I love flying, always have and I guess that I always will."

I couldn't help, but shutter. "I'm still getting used to flying around everywhere."

"Anakin is flying you uh?" Garen asked with a slight smile on his face.

"Sometimes, though Obi-Wan doesn't always like it." I instantly remembered his own reckless youth. "Though he wasn't much different at that age."

Garen glanced at me from the corner of his eyes, sizing me up in more ways than one. "Take good care of him Meagan."

So, this is the real reason for the visit I mused to myself. "We will take care of each other."

Garen nodded, but looked away. "He changed so much after Qui-Gon's death. We all wanted to do something, but none of us could really reach him, not me, Anakin, Reeft, not even Bant. Then when you all of sudden appeared again, it was like a part of him that died came back. I guess all of us were jealous that you had just known him for a little while and could touch him in a way that none of us could and we had known him all our lives."

He paused, obviously having difficulty telling me this. I didn't saying anything, letting him collect himself and gather his thoughts. A long moment passed before he spoke again. "Meagan, I know we haven't been nice to you since you returned and you and Obi-Wan got together and I'd like to apologize."

My mouth nearly dropped open. "Apologize?"

He turned and faced me. "I'm sorry, for how I treated you. It wasn't right."

I nodded my head. "I forgive you Garen and I know you were just protecting your friend. I would have done the same if the situation was reversed."

He gently put his hand on my shoulder. "Thank you Meagan. This takes a load off my mind." He paused as he glanced at me, then smiled.

I didn't have to ask what they talked about, but I had a feeling that they had tried to talk Obi-Wan out of marrying me, but he had defended me. Silently we gazed at the water falling from the cliff above. "I'm glad that you are going to be here for the wedding. It means a lot to us."

"I'm looking forward to it." Garen smirked at me. "It's not everyday that a Jedi marries, let alone to someone from a different galaxy."

"You wouldn't believe the number of calls I've gotten since our engagement some how got out."

"I have some idea. Obi-Wan told us to keep it quiet and that you two were having a small wedding, but it's crawling all over the Temple."

I rolled my eyes. "I work in the Temple. Believe me, I know."

Garen laughed as we walked away from the falls and toward the exit. "You probably hear more than anyone else does."

I couldn't help, but nod in agreement. We headed out of the gardens and down the hallway toward the turbo lift. "I've just learned to ignore it. Besides some of things I've heard about you, Obi-Wan, Reeft, and Bant did as children isn't too far from the rumors about me."

"So he told you about the times he got us in trouble?"

"No." I laughed as the lift took us to hallways toward our quarters. "He told me about the times you got him in trouble."

We both laughed as we walked down the hallway. Though rarely in town at the same time, the two had rooms' only doors apart. "Maybe it's a little of both." Garen commented as Obi-Wan came out from his room.

"Little of what?"

Garen and I smiled at each other briefly as Obi-Wan pulled me against him. "How much trouble you all got into as kids."

Obi-Wan shook with laughter. "Meagan, what Garen tells you are lies. I never did anything wrong."

We all laughed together and headed to Garen's room. He let us in and the lights came on automatically. All we heard were our closet friend's yelling things like congratulations and surprise. Obi-Wan and I laughed, absolutely delighted at the fact our friends did this for us, throwing us a surprise engagement party.

*******

AN: Just for FYI the engagement party will continue in the next chapter. As another side note we didn't include the names of most of the Jedi Masters mostly because we couldn't remember them all and didn't want to miss spell them all either. So, we hope that scene was still readable. Thanks for being patient with that.

Yeah!!!!!! They got permission and are going to get married. Of course you didn't think that we wouldn't marry them right? Hehehehehe. Meagan and I are not that cruel. LOL.

This chapter was rather long, but of extreme importance since the three main characters stood in front of the Jedi Council and the two lovers finally got an approval to marry!!!!!!!! So, for all you sappy readers, the next chapter you will like, since they get married and go on their honeymoon.

We were just wondering something…. Should Obi-Wan wear a tux? My vote is yes if Meagan is getting all dressed up but we might come up w/ some fancy Jedi costume. Please tell us what y'all think.
