From Earth to Star Wars, Part Two

Disclaimer: All characters except for Meagan, Sasha and a few minor characters, belong to George Lucas, and we are not receiving any profit off this work of fiction.

AN: We are so sorry that it's been such a long time since we've updated, but we have been playing around with different ideas with what's going to be happening in the rest of the story. Most of them seemed to be centered around AOTC, the Clone Wars and ROTS. We seemed to be in a hole during this part of the story with trying to bring it to AOTC as we are about a year out. We also needed to make some decisions regarding things that took a while to see and work through. Hope you guys don't mind too much, but we promise that we will finish this story.

As a note, during the rest of the story, we will be switching formats. As Sasha grows, we want to show what she's doing or what kind of trouble she will often find herself in. However, that presented a problem. We thought to put it in an adult's first person perspective and related the events or in Sasha's first person, but neither seemed to work just right. So we will be changing that to a third person point of view.

This will contain scenes with Chancellor Palpatine to see what he is up to regarding our characters and story line as they are different that the main Star Wars plot. Both of these will be coming more often as the story builds through AOTC, the Clone Wars and ROTS.

lisilgirl: We are very pleased that you've been enjoying and reviewing our story. As for Anakin's finals, we are assuming that you are talking about his trials. We're thinking that Anakin will probably be knighted a little after AOTC and since the story's about a year out, it might come up pretty soon. Thanks again. We hope you enjoy this next chapter.

xXKaternator: Thanks again for continuing to read and review our story, despite the lack of updates. As we are trying to work through things, updates might be not as often, but have no fear. We will finish the story! We hope you enjoy this chapter.

Sloan-A: As for keeping the story going, thank you for the compliment. It can be very hard to keep going and we very much appreciate the feedback we receive from our readers. "Does Meagan remember that Anakin goes all darthy mcdarthson?" Well, all we can really say, without giving too much away, is yes she has forgotten. Meagan has become such a part of things, especially with her relationship to Obi-Wan and their daughter, that it's not something she really even thinks about too much anymore. And that, along with what she didn't do, may come back and bite her in the arss later on. Anyway, thanks again for reading and reviewing our story. Enjoy this chapter.

Galadriel Kenobi: We're glad that you enjoyed the story as we've tried to keep it well balanced between the romance of Obi-Wan and Meagan, along with the action of being Star Wars. And as for Anakin and Sasha's future...well there are a lot of factors that will play into that releationship, some that are created by us and some that are in Star Wars canon...so we'll just have to wait and see how things play out...

Chapter Fifty Three:

Meagan's point of view

"Meagan, I don't think you should get any more involved in this." Obi-Wan's words stopped me cold before I turned to face him, as he was referring to the fact that during the last couple months I'd been helping Padme Amidala and others fight against the formation of the army. At least now we were taking some action, trying to gather more support, away from the Capital. And now my husband was objecting my involvement.

"And why not?" And by one look I knew that we were in for one hell of a fight. His arms were crossed across his chest, shoulders set back and face stern. But he wasn't going to win. This was something I had to do, something that the Force was pushing me to do.

"It's entirely too dangerous."

I just looked at him, well knowing there was more. "Come on Obi-Wan. I've faced worse before and we'll be well protected." I turned back to my packing, but called over my shoulder. "If you want to try to stop me you need to come up with something better than that."

He grabbed my arm, forcing me to face him again. "Alright, you want one, I'll give you one."

"It'd better be quick as my transport leaves in less than an hour." I was getting quite impatient with this whole thing.

"If you shut your mouth, I might be able to tell you." He said and I stopped for a second, motioning for him to continue. "Meagan, let the Senate handle this. You don't need to get involved. It will just make it worse."

"And why is that?" I glared at him, trying to figure out what he was getting at. "And how does my involvement make things worse? I'm helping them fight against the Army, not help them start it."

"This issue is more than just voting whether the Republic should start an army or not. There are a lot of political issues floating around out there with the Separatists. The Jedi just need to stay out of it. We can't get involved. We are no army and with you being involved just complicates things."

I considered this for about a second before discarding it. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm not a Jedi."

"That's besides the point. You live and work with Jedi, which puts you into that classification. To everyone out there, you are a Jedi. The Council does not want us too involved in this. They are the ones that are handling this, not you."

"I don't care Obi-Wan. I'm doing this whether they like it or not. I'm not going to sit around and wait for things to happen, for everything to blow up in our faces. So I'm going to do what I can to help."

His eyes narrowed as he considered my words. "Meagan, what's really behind this? Why are you so set on this?"

"Because we both know that the Separatists aren't going to come back to the Republic willingly. It will probably come to a war. And I don't want to sit at home wondering if my husband, whose out fighting, will come back alive. And all those children that have to grow up in this turmoil. I won't stand for it, not when there's something I can do about it. It's almost like I'm supposed to go, like the Force wants me to go. "

"Meagan," His voice was a bit softer, his look not as stern. "granted your motives and incentives are pure, but you can't get involved. As I said, the Jedi need to stay out of it. This doesn't involve us."

"Involve us?" I couldn't help but question. "I say it does when the Senate and half the galaxy thinks we can wave a magic wand and fix everything. They'll expect us to be involved, at the Senate's beck and call."

"Which is precisely why you can't go because you're just reinforcing that image."

"No one is making my decisions for me. I decided that I was going to do everything I could to stand up for what I believe in."

"Meagan, if you keep this up, people are going to start thinking that we are taking sides, that we are involved."

"So you want them to think that you want to fight in a war and are standing with the Separatists?"

He gave me a don't be stupid look. "Now you're just being ridiculous. All I'm saying is that the Jedi don't need to get involved in the ongoing political debates."

I fought to roll my eyes as I turned to finish my packing. "Oh, so this comes down to the fact that you don't like politics or politicians."

"This wasn't my decision. The Council did." Obi-Wan stepped close, taking my arm as I zipped up my bad. "Meagan, I'm telling you that if you get anymore involved there might be dire consequences."

I stood still for a moment. "They can't tell me what to do. I'm not a Jedi."

"But I am." And one look at my husband, and I knew he followed the code and what the Council said to nearly the letter, that he would follow their decision. "Your involvement has more effects than what you realize."

"Maybe it does, but sometimes doing the right thing involves consequences. But I don't want to look back on this time and wonder why I never did anything. I don't want to live the rest of my life wondering what if and live with those regrets." I grabbed my bag and threw it over my shoulder. "I should be back in a few weeks."

Obi-Wan didn't say a word, but as I turned to leave, he grabbed me. "Meagan, you're not going."

"Yes I am." I tried to pull away from him, but his grip was like iron. "Let me go Obi-Wan."

"How much are you willing to sacrifice for this?" He asked in a quiet voice, unlike the rest of our argument.

"What are you taking about?" I looked up at him, trying not to be too curious to what he was getting at.

"You're married to a Jedi Meagan. You can't tell me that your decision today won't effect our relationship."

I stared at him for several long moments before asking. "Oh, so they'll kick me out if I go?"

His voice and face was expressionless. "They might."

I gave him a look. "They won't take that chance as they know if I go, Sasha will be going with me."

"Are you really willing to risk throwing our marriage away? Destroying everything Sasha knows for a cause?"

"I'm doing this for us, for her. I don't want her to wonder why her Father never comes home because he's fighting in a war. And worse yet, I don't want her to grow up and fight in one. I have enough issues with her being trained as young as she is without dealing with other problems."

"Meagan, you're not going and that's final, no matter how pure your motives are."

I stared at my husband for long moments before speaking. "You can't tell me what to do. I'm going and that's final."

"Without even considering what this might put us through or my daughter for that matter?"

"Oh, so you can go on missions and risk your life for people you don't even know, while leaving your poor wife at home wondering if he's even alive?" As I said this, I could see him hold back a wince. "You are fine one to talk Obi-Wan Kenobi. Your Jedi duty has always come before us, why should my decision today be any different?"

Obi-Wan, though no visible emotion showed on his face, was stunned into absolute silence. Breaking free of his grip, I stormed out of the apartment.

So, then I stalked down the hallway to the nearest street exit. I quickly hailed an air taxi, asking the drive to go straight to the Senate Complex. Using a side entrance, I got through security rather quickly, especially when I said my name was Meagan Kenobi. Not that I throw my name around or anything, but sometimes being the wife of a famous Jedi does have some advantages. (Despite the fact that I was still boiling mad at him.)

So, after walking through the hallways and such, I finally entered Padme's office.

"Good, you're here." She said, not looking up, obviously finishing up a last minute project. "I believe that everything is ready to do."

I just nodded, not wanting to speak too much, as I was just bringing my emotions under control.

This time the young Senator did look up with slight concern. After all, by now we were pretty good friends. "Meagan are you alright?"

I kept my face quite neutral, despite the fact that I would love to confide in a friend, but now was not the time. So I just answered. "I'm fine, a little tired I guess."

Padme looked like she didn't quiet believe me, but we were soon interrupted as an aid came into the room saying that it was time to leave. And meeting the other Senators, finishing loading and getting off planet didn't take all that long. So it wasn't until much later that evening, long after we made our final plans, that I started to wonder about this trip. I knew that it was the right thing to do, that I was supposed to go. But maybe I shouldn't have thrown Obi-Wan's Jedi duty back into his face.

But what if he was right? What if they did kick me out? Would he actually leave with me? My rambling thoughts stopped completely. Would Obi-Wan Kenobi actually leave the Order? My heart wanted to believe that he would give up everything for me, but I knew deep down inside that he could never leave, even after Anakin was knighted. Oh yes, Obi-Wan loved me with everything in me, but being a Jedi was in his very being.

I pulled my knees up to my chest, telling myself that Obi-Wan was wrong, that they wouldn't force me to leave, because they might loose Sasha as well. Besides that, the Council at least had to understand that Force was telling me to go, to be a part of this. I still hadn't figured out the why yet, but I knew that there was a purpose to this, that I'm supposed to be on this trip. I could feel it.

My only prayer now was that the Council would see it that why, that my consequences wouldn't be too dire. And that my marriage wouldn't completely apart, no matter what the Council did or said. But if the Force wanted me to go, it would work out everything, particularly with the Council.

But my relationship with Obi-Wan was another story as repairing it wasn't going to be that easy. I didn't mean to hurt him, didn't mean to throw his very essence back at him, it just kinda came out. I hoped he would forgive me, that he could also understand that I did what I have to do because it's who I am.

I sighed, finally falling asleep, feeling guilty of how and what I said, but not of my final actions. Something was about to happen and I was going to a part of it.

Third person point of view

Sasha Kenobi was quite content to sit and color in her books. Taking out a red crayon from a box, she started working on the willow tree.

"Trees aren't red." A voice spoke out, obviously telling her that she was wrong.

"So." Sasha didn't even bother to look up, continuing to color in her tree. "My picture."

The little boy glared down at her. "Wrong."

Sasha put down her crayon and glared back at him. "Sasha's colors what she wants."

The little boy seemed to want to prove it, nearly shoving a small picture book with green trees in her face. "See? Trees are green."

Sasha looked at the pictures then back at the book. "Sasha likes her red tree."

"You're stupid."

Sasha raised an eyebrow, not even realizing how much she was mimicking her Father. "Am not."

"Are too."

"Are not."

"Are too."

"Are not." And to prove it, reaching out with the Force, she took the picture book from him. "Better than you."

The boy immediately protested, trying to pull the book back, but Sasha's pull on it was much stronger. "Fine then, be that way."

And as he let it go, Sasha fell back on her butt, crying out in protest.

The boy laughed. "Haha, you fell down."

Sasha, trying not to cry since the fall did hurt, threw her crayons at him, while using the Force of course.

The boy threw up his hands, obviously trying to protect himself. "Stop."

"Sasha's not stupid."

"Okay, you're not." The boy admitted as he batted away the last of the crayons.

Sasha sat up and watched him walk away. She quickly picked up a few of the crayons, took her coloring book and crawled into a corner. Tugging on the Force, she settled down and continued to color, wanting to be left alone.

Later, hearing the creche Masters calling the kids for dinner, Sasha easily crawled out of her hiding spot and went to stand right behind one of teachers. When the Master turned, she jerked a bit.

"Oh there you are Sasha." She said, wondering where the child had come from. "It's time for dinner. We've been looking for you."

"Coloring in the corner Master." Sasha answered, wondering why they couldn't find her.

"Alright." The Master said but glanced to where she must have come from and she could have sworn she had just looked there only seconds before. But as the young one watched her curiously, she simple said. "Come along then."

Sasha quickly followed, suddenly very hungry.

Meanwhile, Chancellor Palpatine sat in his office reviewing the notes from the meetings that had been held over the last several days. Everything was pretty much proceeding right on schedule and even the events were occurring as he'd foreseen them. He even guessed the correct Senators that would protest the formation of the Army for the Republic. And surprisingly enough Meagan Kenobi was also getting involved. Something he would definitely keep a close eye on.

So everything was perfect. Except for one minor problem. Anakin Skywalker. He'd been keeping a close eye on the boy for the first several years after he arrived at the Temple. And overtime Anakin was beginning to trust him, to confide in him. And then Meagan Kenobi suddenly reappeared, changing everything and he began to see Anakin less and less.

So he was forced to realign some of his plans. Granted he would still have Anakin as his apprentice, but he would have to bring him over to the dark side a bit differently than originally planned. So he waited and watched events as they happened.

And then the Kenobi child was born. He was told of how both the mother and daughter rather miraculously survived that nearly tragic shooting. Maybe there was something to this, a reason why, especially to Meagan Kenobi's appearance. He could already feel a slight shifting in the Force, like the child had a huge amount of potential, that she was born for a reason.

So he continued to watch the family and the observations he made and what he heard, allowed him to have the hope that he could use the kid to get to Anakin. Even from a distance he could sense a strong bond, a strong purpose between the two of them. And he knew, despite Meagan Kenobi's obvious effect on the Padawan and the Master, if he could somehow get a hold of the brat, he might stand a chance at turning Anakin. And with both of them on his side, the galaxy wouldn't stand a chance at defeating two or even three Sith.

So he continued to watch the events surrounding the Kenobi family, wondering when his turn would come. Then one day he read the report that Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi was dead, killed by some space pirate. He of course expressed his condolences though he was unfortunately not able to get a moment alone with Anakin as he was caring for the grieving wife and brat. Once Kenobi had been found alive, he wondered if he missed his chance. But low and behold the pirate escaped and was vowing revenge.

Realizing this was his opportune moment, he had his current apprentice, Count Dooku, contact this pirate and see what kind of plan and deal they could work out. He easily got the funds to pay off the pirate as he didn't give a whim to what happened to him. All he wanted was the little brat and Anakin. He of course had to wait and work around the Jedi that were protecting them. And he was quite sure that Anakin would eventually do something a bit irrational and then without the extra Jedi he would be able to make his move.

He sent the pirate to Naboo, well knowing the family was connected to Senator Amidala, especially young Anakin. As it turned out, he was right and Caddock easily bested young Skywalker, but meet his end with Meagan Kenobi. Something he wasn't counting on or expecting at all. She must have been stronger than he previously thought. He wouldn't underestimate her again.

He allowed a slow grin to slid across his face. She would die, that much was sure. She had utterly destroyed the most poignant part of his plan. Anakin. He wasn't in the place he wanted to be with the young Jedi. All because of her. But she would get it in the end, when he triumphed over her after killing her husband and taking Anakin and her child from her. Torture had such a nice ring to it doesn't it?

Oh, he might have had a few set backs, but in the end he would triumph, he would win. And with Kenobi and Skywalker, the entire galaxy would be his. For forever.
