	Anakin Fel tugged at his sister's hand. "Come on, Padme," he said. "Hurry up before someone sees us, okay?" Padme glared up at him from beneath dark bangs. "I am hurrying, Ankin!" she said, inflicting his nickname with annoyance. "I just got shorter legs than you do, that's all!" Anakin sighed, knowing she was right. A year older, he was able to run quicker because he had longer legs, and Padme was trying, he knew that. He also knew he should be more patient with her. She was doing her best to keep up, and he didn't want to leave her behind. He liked having her around, she was a lot of fun. "Just be glad we didn't bring Owen, then," Ben grinned. "His legs are even shorter. There's no way he could keep up with us." Anakin nodded at his cousin. At seven, Ben was a little taller than Anakin, but they were best friends, so that didn't matter. Owen, however, was only three, and he could barely pad along fast enough to keep them in sight. For what they were doing, they needed to all stick together and move as fast as possible. "My foot hurts, Anakin," Padme said softly. Anakin frowned. She had banged her foot on one of the marble pillars when they were playing tag that morning, but she had not complained about it until then. "I'm sorry, Pady," he said, squeezing her hand. "Do you want to go back? We can if you want to." Anakin didn't want to go back. He wanted to play in the meadow. But if Padme's foot really hurt that bad, then he wanted to take her to get it looked at. Aunt Tahiri would make it better for her. "No," Padme shook her head. "Wanna go with you and Ben to the meadow. Don't wanna go back. It's nice outside." Anakin smiled. It was nice out, but he had a suspicion that the real reason Padme wanted to keep going was because she knew that they did. "Okay," he said. "If you want to play in the meadow, we'll play in the meadow." He glanced at Ben expectantly. Ben turned back to face him. "It's all clear," Ben told him. "I didn't see anyone around." Anakin didn't need to ask which kind of seeing he meant. All three of them were strong in the Force, and they always used both sets of sight to look at their surroundings. If Ben said it was okay to go, then it was okay to go. "On three, then," Anakin said, tightening his hold on Padme's hand. Ben took her other hand in his, grinning down at her. "One ... two..." "Three!" Padme cried softly, knowing to keep her voice down so no one heard them. The three of them took off for the tree line ahead, running as fast as their little legs would carry them. They sprinted across the rocks and darted forward into the forest. They came to a stop, ducking behind a large tree trunk, and listening carefully to see if anyone had seen them. They were not supposed to go to the meadow by themselves. They were not supposed to do a lot of things they did. Uncle Jacen said it was too dangerous to go to the meadow alone, but Anakin thought he was just being an adult. Adults never let you have any fun. "I think we're okay," Ben said after a long moment of silence. He grinned at them, his golden copper hair glistening in the sunlight. "Let's go catch flutterbugs." Flutterbugs were winged bugs that came in all sorts of pretty colors. They were hard to catch, but not for them. They could use their powers to calm them down enough to let them hold them. The challenge for Ben and Anakin was in getting them to trust them, Padme was content to just hold them and star at the colorful designs on their wings. They went to the meadow to chase flutterbugs a lot, but no one knew that. They weren't supposed to use their powers without one of the adults present, although Uncle Luke said they could use them to soothe animals when they were playing, so they knew they were allowed to catch the flutterbugs that way, but they weren't allowed to use their powers for anything but small things like that unless one of the Jedi adults said it was okay. Luckily, one of the adults was always willing to work with them on their Force skills, so it wasn't hard to find someone to watch whenever they wanted to use their powers. Uncle Jacen, Gramma, Uncle Luke and Aunt Mara helped them with their lessons, and Master Kam, Master Tionne and Zekk were always teaching them new skills in their classes. Even Uncle Kyp and Mama found time to work with them on their powers when they were home. Anakin couldn't wait till Mama came back from her mission. He wanted to show her all the new things he'd learned. She was always so happy to see what he was learning, and she would teach him new games to play with the Force. Papa liked to watch, too, and was impressed with how quickly Anakin and Padme both mastered their lessons, but Papa wasn't home very often. His job kept him gone for long periods of time, and even when they visited him on Coruscant, he was busy most of the time. Anakin knew his Papa wanted to spend more time with him, he could tell with his powers, but he couldn't figure out why his Papa didn't. If he really wanted to, couldn't he just find a way to do it then? Master Kam was always telling him that if you set your mind to something, you could find a way to do it. Anakin just didn't understand grown ups sometimes. "I wanna purple one this time!" Padme cried. "You caught me a green one last time, Ben. Can you get me a purple one now?" Ben smiled down at Anakin's sister. "Sure, Pady," he promised. "I'll try my best, okay?" Padme shook her head. "'Do or do not, there's no try'," she said with a grin. Anakin couldn't help but beam proudly at his sister. "You've been listening to Master Tionne's lessons, Padme." Padme nodded. "And Uncle Luke. He likes to use that when I say I can't do anything." "Something," Ben corrected gently. "When you can't do something." Padme cocked her head sideways, as if trying to figure out the difference, then shrugged. "Something," she said, agreeing with him, which she usually did. I hope no one knows we're not going to class, Anakin thought. He didn't want to get into trouble with his Uncle Luke, but as long as they didn't stay too long, they would be back in time for their afternoon class and no one would know that they had snuck off to the meadow. Still... "Hey, Padme, wanna race?" Anakin asked his sister. "We'll give you a head start." Padme narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "You aren't trying to get rid of me so you can talk are you?" she asked. Anakin blinked, amazed as always at his sister's ability to sense what was going on around her. "I just want to ask Ben something," he promised. "Go ahead and find a purple flutterbug and we'll catch it for you, okay?" Padme nodded. "'Kay." She hurried on ahead, and Anakin smiled as he heard her cries of delight as she ran into the meadow swarming with flutterbugs. Ben looked at him expectantly. "What is it?" "We need to be quick," Anakin said. "Zekk will know if we aren't there when class starts. And he'll tell your Papa." "Right," Ben said, his eyes widening slightly at the prospect of his father finding out what they had been doing. "Okay. We go catch Padme her purple flutterbug, then we'll both catch one for ourselves, and then we'll head back." "Good," Anakin said. "Let's try to be-" Padme's cry spliced the air, and it was not a happy one. Anakin and Ben lurched forward, their hearts pounding and their minds whirling in terror. "Padme!" Anakin shouted. "Padme!" They burst into the meadow to find Padme running towards them, her braid flying out behind her. "Bad men!" she yelled frantically. "Bad men!" Behind her were several adults dressed in green, and in their hands were blasters pointed at his sister. Anakin reached out to try to nudge the blasters, but felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and everything went fuzzy. Ben cried out, and he heard a thud beside him. He tried to call to his sister, but found he didn't have the strength. He heard Padme cry out his name, and felt his knees hit the ground, and then everything went dark. -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization

	Sorry, it's kinda short There are still a copule more posts under construction that should be up tonight ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jaina smiled in amusement as Anja blinked in surprise. The older woman studied her in confusion, and Jaina remembered that she had her disguise on still. "Do I know you?" Anja asked guardedly. Jaina smiled. "Something like that." She looked back at the open door and waved her fingers slightly, using the Force to slide the door shut. Anja let out a hiss of surprise. "Jedi," she murmured. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Were you at the Academy when I stayed there for a while?" "She stayed at the Academy?" Valin asked, and Jaina did not miss the annoyance that Anja had not stayed there while he was a student. "Yes," Jaina replied. "She did." She met Anja's probing gaze and smirked. "So, Anja, whatever happened to that position Lando gave you?" Anja's face twitched in confusion, then her eyes, which were already amazingly wide, got even wider. "Jaina?" she gasped. Jaina laughed. "In the flesh." Touching her blond hair, she amended ruefully, "Sort of anyway." Anja threw her arms around her and drew her into a hug, which Jaina returned fiercely. "What did you do to your hair?" Anja demanded. "Undercover," Jaina said. "Like it?" Anja wrinkled her nose. "I like it brown better. You look nothing like Jaina Solo." "Exactly what I was going for," Jaina replied with a smile. "You're on a Jedi mission?" Anja asked. "Or is this a military mission?" Jaina blinked in surprise. "How did you know that?" Anja laughed. "I may not have been in contact with you in a few years, Jaina, but I do get the HoloNet. I know all about you joining Rogue Squadron when you turned sixteen, and all about you leading Twin Suns squadron in the Vong war and after." Her expression falter and Jaina sensed sadness well up in the older woman. "I heard about Anakin, too," she said softly. "I'm sorry." Jaina cringed inwardly, the empty place in her heart that belonged to her brother throbbing, but she forced a smile. "Thank you. That means a lot." And it did. Especially since things had been so rocky with Anja when they first met. It was nice to see that even after all these years the woman had not forgotten all that they had been through together. Jaina's eyes widened. "Lady Andris?" she demanded. "Anja, you aren't back on andris spice again, are you?" Anja snorted. "No. Don't worry about that. I chose the name because it sounds shady, and it reminds me what my mistakes have cost me." Jaina nodded, relieved. "Good. I was worried for a moment." Anja smiled. "Thank you. But there's no need to." She looked past her at Valin and Kyp. "And who are these two? Don't tell me one of them is really Raynar or Zekk in disguise." Jaina laughed. "No. The one on the left is Kyp Durron." Anja's eyes went wide, and Jaina snickered to herself. I take it she's heard of you, she thought to Kyp dryly. "And this," she gestured at Valin. "Is Valin Horn." Anja nodded at them both. "Pleased to meet you." She glanced at Jaina curiously. "Where are Jacen and Zekk and the others?" "On Naboo," Jaina replied. "The Jedi base is there now." "How is everyone?" Anja asked, gesturing for them to all sit down. "I hear Tenel Ka and Jacen got married." Jaina nodded, smiling. "You heard right. They have a son, named Owen." Anja smiled back at her, and Jaina could tell that the woman was quite pleased to hear that. "And you?" she asked. "I seem to recall something about you eloping at nineteen?" She raised an eyebrow inquisitively. Jaina smiled ruefully. "Jag and I have two children. A daughter named Padme and a son named Anakin." "Jaina, that's wonderful," Anja said softly, her eyes bright. She reached across the desk and squeezed Jaina's hand. "I'm so glad for you." "You should come to Naboo sometime," Jaina told her. "I'd love for you to meet Jag and see the kids, and I'm sure the others would love to see you, too." Anja nodded, an eager smile on her pretty face. "I think I will. I'd like to see everyone again sometime. It's been so long." "It really has," Jaina agreed. Kyp cleared his throat, jolting both women out of their conversation. "Sorry to interrupt, Jaina," he said. "But we are on a mission and we do have information to gather. The sooner we get this mission over with, the sooner Anja can come to visit Naboo and you women can sit around and do your nails all day while you gossip your little hearts out." Jaina glared at him. "Sit around and do our nails?" she echoed. "Gossip our little hearts out?" Anja asked, scowling. "Kyp," Valin said. "Shut up before they kill us both." Kyp opened his mouth to reply, then, wisely, shut it. Jaina nodded smugly, then turned back to Anja. "As my partner so tactfully put it, we need information." Anja nodded, all business. "Of course," she replied, leaning forward. "I take it you want whatever I have on the Revolutionaries?" "You sure you aren't a Jedi?" Jaina teased with a smile. She bit her lip, suddenly frustrated. The plan had been to use the Force to sway their information dealer into accepting a minimal price, but she didn't feel right doing that to Anja. "We can pay you whatever we have on us, and get the rest to you later if it's not enough." Anja waved her off. "No need. It's on the house." Jaina frowned. "Anja, you don't have to do this because we're friends." Anja scoffed. "I'm not. You're the one-thousandth customer. You get a free deal." Jaina didn't need the Force to know she was lying, but she was touched by Anja's generosity, so she nodded. "Uh huh," she said, smirking slightly. Anja winked at her, then straightened up. "I've got a lot of little stuff on them, not anything drastic. Is there anything in particular you're looking for?" "Weapons base," Kyp replied. "The big one." Anja's brow furrowed in concentration. "Let me think a minute." After a long pause, she reached into her drawer and pulled out a flimsiplast and slid it towards Jaina. "I don't know if it's a weapons base or not, but my sources say there's a fairly large compound out there, with some definite ties to the Revolutionaries." Jaina pocketed the data pad. "It's worth a look or two." "I've got coordinates for a few small bases that I know have weaponry in them," Anja said, producing three more flimsies from her desk. She handed them to Jaina. "I think they might help some. I hope that they do." Jaina slipped them into her pocket with the other flimsy. "I'm sure we can use them." She smiled at Anja. "Thank you. I know how much free information can cost you in this business." Anja shrugged. "It's not that much. And I don't like the Revolutionaries any more than I like the Peace Brigade." "I hate those guys," Kyp muttered darkly. Me too, Jaina thought. She stood and extended her hand to Anja. "It was great to see you again, Anja. I hope you'll take me up on that offer to come visit us on Naboo sometime soon." Anja squeezed her hand. "I will. You can count on it." She pulled Jaina into a hug. "Tell your brother and Zekk I said hello, will ya?" Jaina nodded. "I will. And thank you again, Anja. You may have just helped save the Jedi." "Don't be too sure," Anja said dejectedly. "The large base they found isn't anywhere around here, and we don't know for sure if it's even still in use." "We can check it out after we send the coordinates for the weapons bases to my uncle," Jaina replied. "You don't know the exact location of the larger base, do you?" Anja shook her head. "It's in uncharted territory." Jaina frowned. "Where at?" "The Unknown Regions." -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization
