	Aww, thanks for the support. I keep trying to write, but I read the previous couple of pages just to get into the groove of the story, and I end up editing what I've already written! Next thing I know it's been an hour or so and all I've done is changed what I've already written! I hate it when I do that, but I can never seem to be done with my work.

	oh, that's not good. did editing it change the plotline some? i'll read it anyway. yeah, i'm working on a story, and i wrote the first chapter after shaping the story in my head for a LONG time. i keep reading it over and over again and i still think, "damn, that sounds good." now i'm still writing the second chapter, but i think of the next few dots on the plotline and i think, "ok, so how do get it here from there?" besides, fight scences are always hard to write cuz how a charater moves is how u 'describe' them, in a sense. and since obi-wan and qui-gon are in, like, the whole flippin story, it's hard to get them to move in the way they're originally portrayed (the JA series; my bible 4 O.K. n Q.J.). i don't want to mess with their characters. then i have like a dozen o/c's that aren't, heh, exactly completely formed yet. a writer's life for me......... good luck, jaina! -----signature----- Go Air Force, Marines, Navy, Army.

	Okay, to stop the fighting, red roses with black ribbons to all my fans! And I managed to write a line. One stinking line. I think I am going to finish it soon, though. I have an idea for what the ending should be. I am then going to finish posting the edited chapters in The Saga forum, and update the chapters here too, though I would like some new readers from the The Saga forum to reply, so any..um, encouraging, from my fans here would be appreciated. lol

	Yeah, the mods shut it down in the Before The Saga forum, because I posted it there right after they split everything up, and I was confused. Just keep posting here, because here is where it started. I just meant that once I am finished with this one, I'm going to finish posting it on The Saga forum and a little up from y'all evey once in a while would be appreciated.

	Okay...so. I was going to wait for my beta to sent the post back till I posted this, but you all have been waiting so patient and I really want to get this up. So you all know, this is the second to last post in the story. I realized that I had been dragging this on for too long, and the end needs to come. I hope it is in a satisfying way, and not rushed or anything. There will be an epilogue after this, which is why this post ends as it does. Please let me know what you think! If I do end up adding to this, I will post the edited here, if I can. I am also thinking of doing a prequel, focusing on how Obi-Wan and Adrienne came together. I don't know. I might just have to move on from these characters I love so much. Trembling, Adrienne stood, trying to figure out what to do. She had to get him help, and the only other who knew of their situation who could help was Mace. Taking a deep breath, she forced herself calm and tried to find Mace’s mind within the thousands of sleeping ones around her. She focused on the “personality” of his mind: his strength, his caring, his sternness, everything she loved him for. Suddenly, his mind appeared to her like an apparition from the mist, and she touched it ever so gently, attempting to wake him. He was immediately alert, and she sent him the image of Obi-Wan on the floor, then an image of them talking, hoping to soothe the panic of seeing his friend unconscious. He seemed to acknowledge and she felt him coming closer. Relieved, she walked out the open door again and looked down the hall for her tall friend. Soon his lean frame came into view and she knew that Obi-Wan would be taken care of. Silently, she walked down to meet Mace. He stopped before her, not demanding an explanation, but taking her in his arms and pouring all the reassurance he had for her into his embrace. His caring for her brought tears to her eyes and she pulled away. “He’s breathing, just unconscious.” Mace nodded at her numb response to the unspoken question of what had happened. Without another word, he turned her in the direction of her chambers and gently pushed her. “Do not worry. I will make sure he is taken care of. You begin your lessons tomorrow, so rest today. You will need it.” Adrienne could not rest, as Mace had so calmly instructed her. She watched as Healers came to take Obi-Wan away and the tears she thought she had already cried formed in her eyes. Angrily she swiped them away. When had she become a weeper? She hadn’t cried so much in years, all that time on the street infusing steel in her spine and drying the emotion from her. He came back and she reverted to the way she was ten years ago, the young lovesick padawan who didn’t know what her emotions where going to do to her. She could not afford to revert so far into herself again, nor could she harm Obi-Wan anymore. Yes, she though at she walked away from the grim scene, she would be the Jedi she could have been had she not fallen in love. She would never see him again in a light other than a student to a teacher. It could be no other way. She would not allow it. Mace sighed heavily as he watched his fallen friend walk away. He could see as she watched them carry Obi-Wan away, the madness creeping behind the fear in her eyes. She was slipping, so soon after her return and she was already regressing. He did not want her to endure that pain again, but if Obi-Wan now knew the truth, Mace feared that his righteous nature would take over and he would not grow attached to Adrienne again. Then what would become of them all? He did not want to find out, but it was coming, the ending to this saga, and it would not be like those in stories. A week had passed since Adrienne’s confrontation with Obi-Wan, and he had still not woken up from his comatose state. All that time she had thrown herself into reestablishing her place in the Temple. She would spend hours in the Jedi Library, carefully avoiding the section where she first found documents on taking down the Jedi. Now that she had revealed her past to those who mattered most, she did not want to see how that past began. Adrienne proved to be a quick learner, her ability to tap into the Force growing stronger each day, and she had even managed to keep a though of Obi-Wan from Yoda during one of their sparring lessons. Or so she had hoped. On the way to another session with Yoda, Mace stopped her in a passageway. A grim smile spread across his face. “He’s awake.” Adrienne nodded, understanding the grim nature of the message. As lucky as it was that Obi-Wan was awake, that also meant that Adrienne had to face the aftermath of her soul-cleansing. It was Obi-Wan’s turn to talk about their past, and Adrienne feared it would be as it was the last time. However, she knew that if she left now, Yoda would doubt the Council’s decision to reinstate her to the Order, which in itself was highly rare and if she took one wrong step, she would be out in the street once again. She nodded again to Mace who was waiting for her reaction. “Thank you, Mace. I have to go to my session with Master Yoda.” Her voice was even and slightly dull, as though she was trying too hard to stay calm. Mace’s eyes narrowed, but he stepped by to let her through. She tried to give him a reassuring smile as she left. The worry festering in his heart took root even deeper than before. Adrienne failed to block the third blow in a row dealt by the minute master’s sword, and she paid dearly for it. Biting back a curse, she examined the singe in her robes and the small cut on her shoulder. Disappointment coursed off Yoda, distracting Adrienne even further than before. Obi-Wan was awake, and he would have many things to say to her , she was sure, and she wasn’t entirely positive that she wanted to hear what he had to say. It would be despairing, no doubt, and it could break whatever small roots she had begun to plant as a true Jedi. “Distracted, you are, young Adrienne.” Yoda stated, shutting down his lightsaber, deepening the shadows on his face. She nodded, too ashamed to speak, to afraid to hear what she would say. Not though it mattered, her feeble attempts and mind blocking could not stop the anxiety and fear racking her brain to wash over all near her. Yoda studied her for a moment, taking in her defeated stance and dark thoughts. Though this be the death of her, he would not change the future. “Ended, our lesson is today.” With that sentence the wizened master walked out, leaning heavily on his walking stick, leaving Adrienne to her thoughts. Should she leave now or collect her wits? She had to do it now, it would be quicker, with less pain, like ripping of medical tape, it stung less with less time to worry. Nodding to herself, she shut down her own lightsaber, and walked out of the room, dread filling the pit of her stomach. The walk to Obi-Wan’s room in the Healing wing could not have been more like a funeral procession if she tried. Time seemed to slow and pity was etched on every face she passed. The doors to his chamber was stark and white, like her surroundings and opened with painful slowness. Taking a deep breath, she stepped inside the room to see Obi-Wan, clothed in white robes, lying in a white bed, covered in white sheets. He looked like an angel from on of her childhood stories and the breath she took caught in her throat. His eyes were closed, but he was conscious, she could feel his open mind, taking in all those around him. “Hello.” She whispered, though he already knew that she had entered the chamber. She took another step forward, inching closer to the chair that rested beside his bed. His eyes twitched under his closed lids at the sound of her voice. “Hello.” He murmured, softly and slightly cold. She swallowed at the distance in his voice and jumped slightly when he opened his eyes to meet hers. “What are you doing here?” She swallowed again ans took another step towards him. “Mace told me you were awake. I came to see how you were feeling.” He studied her a moment before closing his eyes and resting his head back on the pillow. “Aren’t you supposed to be having lightsaber sessions with Master Yoda?” She nodded, though he couldn’t see her and her hands nervously fiddled with the singed hem of her tunic. “Yes, but, he ended it early today.” “Why?” “He said that I was distracted.” Obi-Wan opened his eyes and sat up slowly, studying her the whole time. “Were you?” She turned her eyes from his gaze and let them wander around the room. “I don’t know. I suppose. It’s been a long week.” She felt his cool gaze still upon her, yet she couldn’t manage to meet it. “What is distracting you?” Suddenly, Adrienne’s nerves calmed and boiled with anger. This was ridiculous. They were grown human beings playing this game of avoid-the-subject and there simply wasn’t time, especially with the whispers she had been hearing of an Anti-Jedi uprising. When she was in it, their main goal was to take the Jedi silently, with no knowledge from the public. Jorj was taking her desertion personally, no doubt. “You know why.” She snapped, bringing her eyes back to his. She nearly gasped at the coldness within them, freezing her still. “Yes, I know why. You ruined my life, though I didn’t remember until a week ago.” “And you ruined mine! You remember, yes? Then you remember the pain, and I was going through the same pain, perhaps more.” She tried to keep her voice even, but it began to break with emotion. “You brought me to my death! You watched as I writhed in agony on a dirty cold floor and you did nothing. You walked away to spread your legs for another man.” Pain and anger flew Adrienne’s reserve out the window. The smack of flesh on flesh as she brought her hand to his cheek snapped her from the blank moment of rage. “I told you I couldn’t do anything! I was in a dark place then, having been betrayed by the man I loved, whom I thought loved me as well. The place I had called home, the people I called family and just cast me out, labeling me mad. What else could I do?” “You could have stayed! You could have been strong, could have meditated, could have been a Jedi and not gone so far down the dark side!” “Don’t you play self-righteous with me. You made attachments with me as well, you broke the code just as I had. I wasn’t as strong as you. I never could be.” “You are now.” The tears of anger that had been streaming from Adrienne’s eyes stopped in shock at this statement. Her confusion was clear on her face and he sighed. “When I felt you come near, I resolved that I would be cold, distant, then I would not feel the emotions I have, until recently, forgotten. You came here, your heart so much on display and so easily broken, though it was barely mended. I would not be able to face you if I had to do the same.” Adrienne sunk slowly in the chair, gratitude and love spreading warmly within her at his caring speech. There was love in his eyes, though pain and fear overwhelmed it. “And you must remain strong, with what I am about to say. I have been lying here, awake longer than the Healers knew, thinking about what you have done since I met you, two weeks ago, and ten years ago. You will always be in my mind, and in my heart.” Adrienne took his hand in hers, wanting to feel once again, knowing that they would part soon, it was in his voice. “But I made my choice when we first parted, and I make it now. We cannot act on the love we share. It must always remain in the dark, away from the eyes and minds of those around us. We are Jedi, Adrienne. Jedi do not love.” Tears shone in his eyes as he spoke, his voice faltered at the end, his grip tight on her hands. Adrienne wanted to protest, to say that they could act on it, they could display it as they did all those years ago. It could never be, though. There was no hope for them. “I understand.” She whispered, unable to speak further. They sat in the stark room, crying for themselves, for each other. Once their tears had subsided, Adrienne stood to leave, to remain as strong as he saw her, but he would not let go. She turned to face him, a small smile on his face. “I love you, Adrienne.” Tears sprang to their eyes again, and she leaned down to place a small kiss on her cheek and he caught her lips with his. The kiss lasted for ever and not long enough. Adrienne stood up again, and Obi-Wan released his grip. She walked slowly to the door, trying to keep her tears at bay. She turned, one last time, taking in every detail of him, his soulful eyes, the sandy color of his hair, the strength of his features. “Goodbye, love.” Until his death, Mace would never forget the day when Adrienne came to him in a meditation chamber, tears staining her cheeks, hope shining in her eyes. She begged him to take the information she had left behind to the Council. She would not give him an explanation, saying only that she could never be a proper Jedi, and there were mysteries of her life she still had to uncover. She left, that night, for Tatooine, to remain in the hovel she and her mother had lived in all her childhood. There was something sad in her voice, a beautiful tragedy that he would never forget. Obi-Wan was released the day after, though he remained in his room for several days after, claiming he felt still too weak to begin his duties again. Mace knew, though, he was mourning for the love he never had the strength to give a chance. Years went by, and nothing more was said of the beautiful Jedi that changed so many lives. Mace fought for years to have a bust of his dearest friend made to be placed with the rest of the fallen Jedi, but the Council would never allow it, claiming that she was thrown out the first time, and only Jedi who left on their own terms would be remembered, not those forced out. Mace never saw her again, though he spoke with her many times before he died. Adrienne mourned for her friends, and all the Jedi that had perished in the purge at the hand of the little boy she befriended. News traveled slowly towards Tatooine, and it was a shock to see a weathered and aged Obi-Wan walking towards her hovel nearly twenty years after she had left him in the Healer’s wing.

	See, I would post the very last chapter, but I would love some more feedback, please? I wanted to change the header so it would say that I had updated, but it says that only admins can change it now. That's not how it used to be, because I would change the update every time I posted something. Oh well. As long as you all know I've updated.
