I just want to let people know my nephew Kaark has started working on his story again. After a 3 year hiatus. It's called The Ill Jedi.
____________________________________________________________________
The day had gone quickly. It also went much better than anyone had expected. When they had had to split into two groups everyone wanted to go with the new kids. After a couple of hours excuses began to be made about getting home to study or do chores. Richie and his cousins knew most were leaving to sneak around to go to the secret cove. Anakin didn't seem to notice. He spent all his time close to Tanya. In fact he spent the whole time wit his eyes glued to Tanya. Talking to her, hanging on her every word and touching her a lot. A situation Richie didn't like. Thing was Anakin never touched her inappropriately. But before today the only time Richie had ever seen Anakin pay attention to Tanya was when he and Uncle Ben had played "Toss the Baby". Really it should have been called levitate the babies. A game Richie knew upset the women in the family. It was one of the few fond memories Richie had of Anakin. The all the "Babies" loved the game. Richie knew what it was like to be a bird during those games. Today Anakin was hugging Tanya, dunking her in the water, patting her on her back or knee.
The sun would set within the hour and everyone had left the lake except Richie and Begger. He lay stretched out on Begger's head floating in the water. "We should really stop calling the new kids 'the new kids'. We are all one people now." Richie said scratching one of Begger's ears.
"Mesa thinkin yousa correct , Cousin."
Richie turned to see Bil Tim's oldest son Joe Joe climbing on to Begger. Fast on his heals was Kacey.
"Why yousa still up here?" Joe Joe asked as he and Kacey settled themselves on Begger.
"Oh, mesa just didn't feel like going down below. Though I suppose I should so Begger can go eat."
"I wonder how deep Begger goes to eat. I've never seen him eat any of the fish near Otta Gunga or near the Gungan fishing grounds." Kacey observed.
"Popwesa said he didn't even know though Begger is usually gone 2 or 3 hours. So it must be pretty deep." Richie said.
"Mesa think Begger enjoy being free to go swimmin in deep water and eatin big fish." Joe Joe observed. "Maybe fish we eat too small for him now."
"I think you are right Joe Joe. He had to survive in that tunnel a long time on the small fish that came in the small holes the water came in." Richie thought a moment. "He was so skinny when he got here. I wonder how much longer he could have lived in that small space."
"Well you'd never know he had been starving now. Look at the belly he's getting." Kacey slid down to what would be that area and started lightly scratching Begger. The dragon snake's spine shivered a bit. He took off across the lake wiggling and making a laughing sound.
All 3 boys held on the furious ride joining in Begger's laughter.
"Stop it Kacey!" Richie and Joe Joe laughed together.
"But he likes it. I can sense it." Kacey protested.
"We know but it's time to stop." Richie laughed. "We all need to catch our breath."
"Begger isa better than a carnival ride at a fair." Joe Joe chortled.
"What's a carnival ride? What is a FAIR?" Kacey inquired. 'To be fair' is an action. Or pretty like Gracie."
"A Fair is like a big party or festival." Richie explained. "We used to have them all over the planet through the summer and fall. The biggest for the Naboo was in Theed and the biggest for the Gungans up above Otta Gunga. People would bring all kinds of things to sell or trade. Things they grew or made. They would compete to see who's was the best."
"There would be all kinds of rides. A Canival ride isa big, fast ride at a Fair." Joe Joe explained. Kacey frowned. "It's like riding Begger only it's a machine."
Kacey still frowned unable to comprehend a mechanical Begger.
"I think Uncle Ben is just going to have to take you to an amusement park someday." Richie said.
"Amusement Park." Kacey contemplated the words. "What's that?"
Before Richie or Joe Joe could try to explain. Joe Joe's communicator beeped.
"Boys where are you?" Marmee's worried voice came out of the communicator.
"Wesa find Richie."
"Well get back here you are all going to be late for dinner. Your grand father is getting worried too. Tell Tanya, Leona wants to see her in the infirmary the minute she gets back."
"Just a minute Marmee. Richie where isa Tanya."
"She's not back in Otta Gunga?" from Richie and "She's not up there with you?" from Marmee were spoken simultaneously.
"Wesa only find Richie and Begger, Marmee. We be thinkin Tanya back in Otta Gunga by the time wesa find them."
"She left when Anakin did." Richie informed everyone. "They should have been back an hour ago."
"Boys get back here now. I'll tell your grandfather. He may want to send a search party out for them."
Once he heard Tanya wasn't home Begger had started sniffing the air searching for Tanya's scent. Suddenly he darted off with the boys hanging on with all their might.

Yes, Beggar sounds like fun -- and useful, too, if he's going after Tanya. Now let's see, he discovers Anakin and Tanya at the lakeside, about to do something that they're not supposed to do, Beggar decides that Anakin is a big fish, bites him in half, and everybody lives happily ever after. Well, except Beggar, because he'd probably have a bad taste in his mouth after that foul meal.

Well you might say I am a little biased here, since June is my adorable soul-mate and spouse, but this story is really great! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I still say Sidious and Palpatine are the same person! LOL!

I like Anakin and I still beleive there is some good in him, maybe June will find some excuse for him to redeem himself and avoid becoming Vader-just hoping.
BTW I noticed that Obi fans hate Anakin with a vengeance but Anakin fan's don't hate Obi as much.
I mean I feel for both of these guys, they both had their problems and thier lives were shattered and wasted. Though whose to blame, well that's another bed of hornets I don't want to disturb. Maybe it was destiny.
June this is one of my most loved stories and though my reading has come to almost nil-I have to keep up with updating five fics-this is the one fic I check for on a daily basis.

Thanks Lightsaber. 5 Fics WOW! I have a hard enough time trying to keep 3 going.
____________________________________________________
"Richie! Joe Joe! Kacey! Answer me!" Leia called into her communicator. Fortunately she was in an alcove away from most of the family.
"Marmee, What is it?" Obi-Wan asked.
She should have known Obi-Wan would sense anything concerning Kacey before the other parents. Leia looked over the rest of the family gathering in small groups. All the adults had been glancing between the clock and the door for the last half hour. They all knew Kacey, Joe Joe, Richie and Tanya were quite capable of taking care of themselves. But if not for Gracie, Kacey would have been kidnapped too. Having Begger to on guard helped. Still everyone grew nervous when someone was missing now.
"Kacey and Joe Joe found Richie but not Tanya or Anakin. Now they aren't answering me."
Obi-Wan closed his eyes and reached out along his tentative new bond with Kacey. Obi-Wan got back a picture from Kacey's point of view of the ride on Begger. The clarity startled him. When Obi-Wan opened his eyes the rest of the family had gathered around.
"It's all right the boys are not in danger at the moment. Begger is taking them to Tanya."
"Ben, is Tanya with Anakin?" Amidala asked.
"I don't know."
Leia hated to say it. "I'm guessing he is. Richie said they left the lake together and should have been back here an hour ago."
"Yousa know where boyos are?" Boss Nass asked Obi-Wan.
"Not exactly. But I can follow my bond with Kacey and-"
"No." Amidala interrupted. "I know you can do that, Ben. But it will take time. Time we may not have. If Tanya is with Anakin I have a good idea where he has taken her."
"Where?" Richarde asked.
"Where he took me." Amidala answered simply. "This is something that I have to face Anakin about. To stop him from harming anyone else. To make him see how he hurt me. That it was wrong. I'll be back in a little while with Tanya. Tell the boys to come home." Amidala headed for the door.
Before objections could be made Obi-Wan raised a hand. "I'll go with her. Anakin is still my responsibility. I think the boys are too busy holding on to Begger. When they stop they'll call you." With that Obi-Wan darted after Amidala.
"Yousa think Boyos call when desa stop?" Boss Nass asked the family.
Richarde and Bil Tim exchanged a look.
"They are our sons." Richard said hesitantly.
"They yousa grandsons." Bil Tim added.
"What do you think Dear?" Leia asked her husband. "Will they call us?"
Boss Nass sighed. "Mesa think boyos think they more grown up than they are. Mesa think boyos much like Popwesas and Grand Popwesa." Boss Nass put a hand to his chin. "Mesa think boyos call but not come home or wait for help. They try to locate Tanya on own. If Joe Joe in water wesa find him like yousa find children on land, Planet tell us. Come Bil Tim, we call 12 men on duty. We go up on lake. Dat way we available quick."
"Popwesa?" Bil Tim began.
"Yousa no thinkin you leavin me here. Mesa not so old." Looking over at Richarde, Boss Nass added. "Yousa stayin here to lead People. If we no return."
"Me?" Richarde said in shock. "But I'm not Gungan. More of the People are Gungan. Bil Tim should-"
"NO!" Boss Nass said firmly. He shook his head and pointed a finger at Richarde. "Isa no more Gungan. Isa no more Naboo. All one People now. Yousa King. Yousa son of 2 kings. Yousa son of Papa and mesa. You mesa oldest son. You lead People someday. Prophesy say sosa. Son of 2 Kings will lead People to Avalon."
Richarde looked over at Bil Tim. "Do not worry brother. I never told anyone but I dreaded the day I would have to take Popwesa's place. It didn't feel qualified somehow. When he and Marmee married I remembered the Prophesy. I've known for a long time. Didn't you have this prophesy in Naboo tradition?"
"No, I've never heard it before." Richie said still stunned by the idea of leading all the People.
"One more example of our needing to learn all the Prophesies. The men are waiting. We must go." Bil Tim followed his father out of the room.
"Marmee, Popwesa is getting to old to be chasing down wayward grandsons. Why didn't you stop him?"
Leia smiled. "If it had been Luke Naberrie standing here and it was only Richie who was missing, do you think I could have stopped him?"
"Papa? No. Even if he could barely breath and walk."
"Then you have your answer. I was smart enough to marry two men who have similar qualities. Different on the surface but the same in the heart. I wouldn't change either one of them. Come lets pray for everyone's safe return before we eat."
"Eat?!" Richarde was shocked once more. He looked around at his brothers and sisters. "Marmee we couldn't possibly eat now.-"
"All of you look at your children. The older ones are keeping the younger ones busy so we can talk. They knew something was wrong before your father and Bil Tim left. Now the younger ones realize something is not right. Will it do any good to have them more frightened. We must calm their fears. We need to do something that will feel some what normal to them. The most normal thing I can think of at dinner time is to eat. Prayer and food will do us all good. After the littler ones are tucked in for the night we can hold vigil. I'm sure the older ones will want to join us." With that she called the children to the table and ordered her serving droids to serve the meal.

The cave! Oh no! He's taking her to the cave! I don't even want to think about what's on Anakin's mind. I do hope Ami gets there in time before he does any thing stupid.
