	Thanks, LB. More is coming soon, I think. JPS said after her next post on Serenity she'd send me her post on this one to look over, so it shouldn't be too long. -----signature----- "What can a King ask of a man like me?"

	Another wonderful post. It's bittersweet, really. So sweet when Padme corrects herself about her last name now being Skywalker. But so sad when she realizes she'll never be able to profess her love for him in public. I love the way you wrote Padme's family. And it was nice symmetry the way she was worried about getting her father's approval in this post as Anakin worried about getting Obi-Wan's in the last. And another bit of foreshadowing, I think. A little Padme and Anakin? Hehe. Nice. -----signature----- Yippee!!! ~ Darth Vader, TPM

	Obi-Wan Kenobi stood alone on the landing pad outside of the Jedi temple, waiting patiently for the arrival of his Padawan Anakin Skywalker. Anakin had been with Obi-Wan for over ten years, and every day Obi-Wan marveled at how much he had grown, how much he had learned, and at how much he still needed to know. His apprentice was a brash young man, bold, reckless and ridiculously brave. He thought with his heart, not his head, and while that was an admirable trait, Anakin had not yet learned to balance the two. That was one of the things that frightened Obi-Wan. He had never said so, of course, but he loved his Padawan as a father would a son. How could he not, when Anakin was such a lively, gifted boy? For a Jedi, the bond between Master and Padawan had no equal. They were one another's life, love and family all in one, and for most Jedi that was enough. But not for Anakin. Obi-Wan blamed that in part on his unique upbringing. Anakin had not been taken into the Order until he was nearly ten years old, much older than normally accepted, and had been raised by his mother, a mother whose love haunted him still, especially so recently after her death. And now, with his mother gone, Obi-Wan feared that Anakin might grow even more attached to the one woman left in his life. Senator Padmé Amidala. It had been with a great deal of uneasiness that Obi-Wan had allowed Anakin to accompany the Senator back to Naboo. He had been worried about his apprentice's affection for the woman, having seen the way Anakin looked at her, but after witnessing the way she had rushed to his side on Genosis, Obi-Wan was now even more concerned. He could no longer pretend that there wasn't a bond between the two in the Force, as much as he wanted to do just that. As if it wasn't bad enough that he had to worry about Anakin doing something foolish, now he had to worry about what Padmé might do, as well. Sometimes Obi-Wan Kenobi wondered if the Force had a grudge against him. The sleek transport opened its hatch and the boarding ramp slunk out, a lone figure standing at the top. Obi-Wan took a moment to study his Padawan, appraising how much this boy, this man, really, had grown in the years he had been in Obi-Wan's care. Anakin was tall and wiry, with sandy blond hair and intense dark blue eyes and a body that always seemed tensed, tight, crisp, like he was ready to strike at any moment. He wore the traditional Jedi traveling clothes, his a dark brown as opposed to the tan colored tunic Obi-Wan preferred. The reckless gleam in his eyes shone with a dazzling mix of compassion, determination and anger. It was the last one that concerned Obi-Wan the most. "Welcome home, Padawan," he called as Anakin strolled down the ramp, every step confident and assured. "Thank you, Master," Anakin said, bowing. "It's good to be back." Obi-Wan did not miss the flicker of sadness that flashed across his face, nor did he fail to notice that his Padawan was not completely open to him through the Force. He must be trying to block his feelings over saying goodbye to Padmé, Obi-Wan thought with a sigh. Perhaps now that they've parted ways, I can steer him back onto the right course. He had nothing against Padmé, of course, he liked her well enough, he had ever since the Trade Federation crisis on Naboo ten years ago. She was a kind, but determined young woman, and Obi-Wan did not want to see her come to any harm. But he knew that her relationship with Anakin would bring nothing but if it continued on its present course. Anakin was a Jedi, he had sworn an oath, taken vows. And one of those vows had been to give up all possessions and attachments. Except he had not given up Padmé. Obi-Wan knew he would have to talk to Anakin about her, and soon, but he decided to let it wait. He would need time to prepare what he wanted to say, what he needed to say, so that he would not provoke his apprentice's temper. Once they started yelling, things would only get worse, as he'd learned time and time again during his life with Anakin. "I would like to begin working on your lightsaber skills as soon as possible," Obi-Wan told him evenly, taking care not to let on that he was preoccupied with other concerns. "With the Sith still at large, we must be ready for what is to come. I'd like to test your prosthetic in hand-to-hand combat." "Why?" Anakin asked, sounding weary. "The doctor told you it would work just like my old arm." Not for the first time, Obi-Wan wondered if loosing his arm had not affected Anakin more than he was letting on. "I would feel better," Obi-Wan said, his tone gentler. "I can rest easier knowing for myself that you are still able to fight. You know I don't want anything to happen to you, Anakin." Anakin gave him a faint smile, blue eyes warm, albeit exhausted. "I don't want anything to happen to you, either, Master." Considering how tense things had been between them as of late, those words were a source of comfort for the young Jedi Master. "Would you like to rest first?" Obi-Wan offered gently. "I'm certain your journey was long. If you'd like to sleep for a while first, I could certainly use the meditation time." To his surprise, Anakin showed no insult at the suggestion that he might not be up to the task. "Yes, thank you," he replied quietly. Despite himself, Obi-Wan frowned, now certain that something was troubling his apprentice. But as much as he wanted to ask what it was, as much as he wanted to help, he knew that Anakin had to work through his problems on his own. He wanted to take the trials soon, after all. Once he did, he would no longer be an apprentice, but a Jedi Knight. He would have to make his own decisions. That was, perhaps, the scariest thought of all. -----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
