Title: Entanglement
Author: diamond_pony2002
Summary: What if Obi-Wan was with Anakin when his mother died? Would he be able to stop Anakin from taking his first step to the Darkside? It will probably go to the end of the movie but it will be changed. My perspective of how I think AOTC could have been!
Disclaimer: I don't own them and I never will, sadly. They all belong to Mr. Lucas. : - (
Spoilers: Some AOTC spoilers
Notes: // = telepathically talking
Italics = thoughts
This is my first fic so......be gentle! lol. Just kidding, but it is my first fic and feel free to tell me if there's anything wrong.
********************
"I....I love y-". She started to say, but never finished. Shmi Skywalker was now out of her binds and laying in her son's arms, staring up at him.
Anakin felt her life force slip away, piece by piece. No, Mom. Don't leave me! Please, I'll do anything! Just please don't leave me!, Anakin thought. Her breathing stopped and she went limp in Anakin's arms.
Oh, no. Force, don't do this to him. Obi-Wan watched as Anakin ran his hand over his mother's face and shut her eyes. He put a hand on Anakin's shoulder, knowing he would need a lot more than his master right now. Just as he was about to look away, he saw something shimmer on Shmi's face. He moved his head forward a little bit to see what it was. A tear drop. A single tear drop fell from Shmi Skywalker's eyes, leaving Obi-Wan to assume that she was crying in the Force, letting them know that she was alright now and not in anymore pain, and that tear drop was the last of her pain draining out of her. "Anakin. Maybe this is for the better. She isn't in pain anymore. She never will be in pain again."
"How can this be for the better? I've lost just about everything. First it's Master Qui-Gon, now it's my mother. What next? Am I going to lose you too?" He felt rage. Anakin closed his eyes, crying silently for about one minute and then slowly lifted his head. They will pay for this!!! I WILL MAKE THEM! I never want to see their hideous "faces" again!
Obi-Wan almost withdrew his hand from Anakin when he felt the anger radiating off of him. He not only felt anger, but also hate, sadness, rage, and......fear? What is he afraid of?, Obi-Wan thought this just as Anakin was setting his mother gently on the ground.
He looked up with so much rage in his eyes. He started to run to the entrance to his mother's hut, but ran into an invisible wall of some type. Anakin fell backwards and started to get up again, but Obi-Wan leaped for him and tried to hold him back. Anakin struggled in his arms, trying to get free. "Anakin, calm down!",shouted Obi-Wan. "Let me go! THEY KILLED HER!" Anakin couldn't take much more of this. "Fighting them won't help matters! Try to understand this!" Obi-Wan curved a wall into Anakin using the Force and sent him flying back into the wall of the hut. When nobody came, Anakin realized that his master had somehow formed a soundproof Force bubble around the hut so nothing could be heard. He accepted defeat and drew his legs up to his chest, wrapped his arms around them, and lowered his head to his knees. Anakin Skywalker finally stopped fighting and cried. Cried for his mother, his pain and anger, and for the Tusken Raiders for being so cruel. "Master, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to react like that. I just....I miss her so much.", and with that, Obi-Wan walked over to Anakin, took him into his arms, and held him. "Shh, it's alright Anakin. It's alright. Your anger got the better of you."
After a few minutes, Anakin's crying subsided and he pulled away from Obi-Wan. He quickly wiped away his tears and said "What am I going to tell Cliegg and Owen?". " You'll tell them the truth. I know they'll understand." //Let's go back to the house now, Padawan.// Anakin replied with, //What about my mother? We have to take her back.// "Alright, we'll take her back with us.", said Obi-Wan. "Thank you, Master," Anakin hugged the Jedi Knight one last time before helping him off the ground.
The two, with Shmi, walked back to the speeder. Neither of them uttered a word since they left the camp. Anakin put his mother into the back of the speeder, then climbed to the front and sat down beside Obi-Wan. "Master, do you think you could drive us back? I don't think I would be able to after all that's happened," Anakin asked. "Of course, Anakin. You should rest anyway," Obi-Wan replied cooly. //Thank you, Master// Anakin "said". Obi-Wan smiled at him and said "You're welcome, Padawan,". Then, the young master and apprentice set off on their journey back to the Lars' homestead.
"Anakin, wake up. We're back," Obi-Wan was trying to wake Anakin up. He'd slept the whole way back and now they were going to have to give Shmi a funeral. *He's going to have such a hard time with this. I know I did when my "father" died. We'll just have to help him get through this,* Obi-Wan thought. Anakin finally woke up, stretched, and yawned. "Why don't you go inside and rest, Anakin. I'll tell Cliegg and Owen what happened, alright?" Anakin just nodded and hugged his master in a tight embrace, then let go, "Thank you, Master, for everything," //You have nothing to thank me for, Padawan. You were the one that handled this so well.//
Anakin went inside and layed down to go to sleep. It wasn't much longer until he had a dream:
Anakin heard someone calling out his name. He was on Tatooine again. " Anakin, how could you. You said you would free your mother and all the slaves. How could you LIE like that?" Anakin couldn't put the voice in it's owner body. He knew it sounded familier. "No. It wasn't my fault. I tried. I really did," Anakin said to the voice. " Oh, but it was. You weren't fast enough. Just like your master wasn't fast enough to save Qui-Gon Jinn. " Stop it! That's not true. It wasn't my fault and it never will be!". " It's your fault," those words kept echoing everywhere. "No. It wasn't my fault!" he shouted back.
THE VOICE WAS JIRA'S!!!!!!!! "No, it wasn't my-
Anakin awoke from his dream when he felt someone shaking him. Padm'e was the one who shook him from that awful nightmare. "Oh, Padm'e", and then he lunged into her arms and said in gasps, "I thought the dreams would go away after what happened." Padm'e didn't know what to say, so she just held him and turned when she heard footsteps at the door. It was Obi-Wan. He walked ovr to where Padm'e was holding Anakin and sat down beside her. " Anakin, what happened?" "I had another dream." Obi-Wan didn't say anything, just nodded his head slightly and rubbed Anakin's back. "I don't want to forget her, but I don't want to have the dreams anymore. I'm scared, Master," "I know you are, Ani. You'll never forget your mother. Just think of all the good times you had together and she'll always be with you, in your heart," Obi-Wan said. Anakin then pulled away from Padm'e and she said, "Do you want anything to eat?" Anakin shook his head, "No, thank you" "Okay, do you want something, Obi-Wan?" "No, I'm alright,". Padm'e just smiled and Anakin got up and walked to the 'fresher. Obi-Wan and Padm'e went into the living room and sat down. "Do you think he'll be okay?". "I don't know, Padm'e. I hope so though."
Anakin joined them in the living room and sat down. He knew things would never be the same. He missed his mother and now he thought that would effect his training. "Master, do you think this will do something to my training?" Anakin asked. "I'm not sure, Anakin. It might or it might not. I don't know." he replied in a calm voice. "I just wanna go home now," "I know you do, Padawan, and as soon as we're done with our mission, we will. I promise." Anakin smiled and embraced Obi-Wan. " I think I'm going to go lie down," said Anakin after he let his master go. "Alright. We'll come and get you when dinner is ready." "Okay," Anakin told his master, and then went to the bedroom and fell asleep without any dreams.

RE: Entanglement (What if Obi was with Ani when his mother died? COMPLETED! UNEXPECTEDLY! REPOSTED)

Hey ya'll Here's the second post! Hope ya'll like it! Comments are greatfully accepted!
*****************
Anakin awoke to the sound of voices in the kitchen.
*Well, I guess I missed dinner.* he thought. Just as he was getting out of bed, someone knocked on his door.
"Come in," he said tiredly.
"Breakfast is ready. I thought I'd let you know," Padmé said with a smile.
"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute," was all Anakin said.
When he was done dressing, he went out to the kitchen and sat down at the table.
"Good morning, Anakin," greeted Cliegg.
"Good morning," he said dully.
*I sure hope he's going to be all right,* thought Cliegg. He wasn't sure how Anakin was getting through this. Cliegg and the rest of the "family" waited for Owen to come back from the vaporators. He was about to go out looking for him with Obi-Wan when he came through the door.
"What took so long, son?" asked Cliegg.
"There were some tusken raiders over the hill and I had to hide until they left," was Owen's answer.
"Oh, well I'm glad you're safe, son,".
After breakfast, Anakin, Padmé, and Obi-Wan decided they should leave.
"Well, I hate to see you leave, but you have business to do and we'll let you get with it. It was nice to meet all of you. Good-bye," said Cliegg.
"Thank you for letting us stay with you yesterday. It really gave Anakin some time to recuperate," said Obi-Wan.
"It was no problem at all. I was anxious to meet him and get to know him. Maybe we'll meet again someday," Cliegg said.
"Maybe. Well, Anakin, are you ready to go?" asked Obi-Wan.
"Yes, Master. I'm ready," said Anakin.
"Good. We should be on our way now. Good-bye Cliegg, and thank you again,"
"Good-bye, and your quite welcome," said Cliegg, and with that, Anakin, Padmé, and Obi-Wan left.
***********************
When they got to the ship, Anakin went into the bedroom and sat on the bed.
*I miss you, Mom*, Anakin thought. He didn't even notice he was crying.
Obi-Wan knocked on the door and then Anakin felt the tears on his face. He quickly swiped them away and said
"It's open." Obi-Wan walked in and asked
"Are you all right, Anakin?".
"I'm fine," he said.
"Do you want anything?" asked Obi-Wan.
"My mother," he stated, and then he started sobbing. Obi-Wan walked over to the bed and sat down beside the sullen boy.
He wrapped him in a hug and said, "I know you do, Ani. I know." He moved his hand in soothing circles on the young man's back, in hopes of stopping the crying. No such luck. The man sobbed for about 15 minutes before he fell asleep in Obi-Wan's arms. He gently laid his sleeping apprentice on the pillows and covered him with some blankets from the closet. He silently went to the door and switched off the lights. He left the boy in the room and shut the door. Obi-Wan leaned against it and sighed.
*There has to be something I can do to help him*, he thought.
Padmé was walking by the room when she saw the young Jedi Master.
"Is he all right?" she asked worriedly.
"He's asleep right now. I hope he doesn't have any nightmares, but I wouldn't count on it. He has them almost every night," he said. He probed out to Anakin's mind with the Force to see if he was okay. Relieved, he found Anakin was just fine, in a deep sleep without nightmares.
"He's fine right now. He isn't having any dreams," he said softly.
"Good. I think I'm going to go rest for a while. That heat really did something to me," she said tiredly.
"All right. I'll just be reading a datapad of mine and Anakin's mission," he said.
"Ok. Goodnight," she said with a yawn. She went into the other bedroom and went to sleep.
*I hope Ani will be ok* she thought.
***********************
Obi-Wan saw the ship was landing and decided to wake up Anakin and Padmé. First, he woke up Anakin.
"Ani, wake up. We're here." Then he saw Anakin was sweating and shaking. He put his hand to the boy's forehead. He was relieved to find that he didn't have a fever.
"Anakin, it's time to wake up," he said. He gently shook the boy and Anakin screamed and shot up.
"Ani, what's wrong?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I had another dream." He said, his voice quavering. "It was nothing. I'll be fine," he said.
"Okay, I'm going to go wake up Padmé and then we can leave," Obi-Wan told Anakin. He just nodded and got out of the bed. He stood up and felt dizzy. He swayed a little and Obi-Wan felt he was probably going to faint, so he rushed over and caught Anakin just as he was about to fall over.
"Anakin, are you all right?".
"I don't know what happened. I just suddenly started feeling dizzy. I'm fine now."
"I'll hold you to that, Anakin.", then he left and went to get Padmé.
She was a lot easier to wake. All you had to do was call her name and BAM! She was awake and out of bed. Then, they got off the ship and stepped onto the hard, uneven ground of Geonosis. Obi-Wan and Anakin felt a disturbance in the Force.
"Master, what was that?" asked Anakin.
"I'm not sure, Padawan, but I have a feeling we're going to find out very soon."
************************
They fought some droidekas and Geonosians. Unfortunately, they didn't win the battle. They were taken to the Execution Arena and chained to poles. Then, a reek, an acklay, and a nexu came rushing out into view and charged at the three people.
"Just relax. Concentrate," said Obi-Wan.
"What about Padmé?" asked Anakin.
"She seems to be on top of things," said the master. Anakin looked towards Padmé's pole and saw she really was "on top of things". She had climbed up the pole using the chain as a "climbing rope".
They fought the animals and won this time. Mace and the rest of the Jedi came to help the three and when they thought all was lost, Yoda and the clones showed up. They followed Dooku in a ship and then they were hit. Padmé fell out.
"Padmé! Put the ship down!" he exclaimed.
"Anakin, don't let your personal feelings get in the way! Follow that speeder!" he shouted towards the front.
"Lower the ship!" said Anakin.
"I can't take Dooku alone! If we catch him we can end this war right now! We have a job to do!" he said.
"I don't care! Put the ship down!" Anakin yelled.
"You will be expelled from the Jedi Order!" Obi-Wan returned.
"I can't leave her!" shouted Anakin.
"Come to your senses! What do you think Padmé would do if she were in your position?!" asked Obi-Wan. Anakin just stared at him before saying, "She would do her duty."
Dooku landed in a hanger and then was joined a short time later by Anakin and Obi-Wan.
"You're gunna pay for all the Jedi you killed today, Dooku.", threatened Anakin.
"We'll take him together. You go slowly on the left-" but Obi-Wan was cut short when his apprentice said "No, I'm taking him now!"
" No, Anakin! NO! NO!" he shouted.
Count Dooku struck out with Force lightning. Anakin was sent flying through the air and he hit a wall.
"Anakin!" Obi-Wan screamed. He ran over to the dazed boy and kneeled down beside him.
"Anakin, are you ok?" he asked worriedly. No answer.
Dooku took this advantage and struck out at Obi-Wan with the lightning, but Obi-Wan turned in time just before it hit him.
He caught the lightning with his lightsaber and said, "You'll never win, Dooku".
"Oh, I highly doubt that, Obi-Wan."
The battle went on for a few minutes before Yoda came in to help Obi-Wan.
"Care for your apprentice, you must, Obi-Wan. Take care of this, I will."
"Yes, Master" Obi-Wan said and obediently ran over to his apprentice. He was unconscious now and Obi-Wan was greatly worried by this. He put the boy's head in his lap and tried to bring him back to consciousness.
"Anakin. Anakin wake up." The boy moaned a little and started gasping for air, for he had the wind knocked out of him when he hit the wall. Obi-Wan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I….I can't….breath," said Anakin between gasps.
"You had the wind knocked out of you, so I'm not surprised. You'll be fine." said Obi-Wan. Anakin started coughing and that wasn't helping him. His breathing became more ragged than before.
Padmé came running in and screamed "Anakin!". She kneeled beside Obi-Wan and stroked Anakin's hair back.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Dooku threw him against the wall. I'm afraid he might have punctured a lung," said Obi-Wan.
Just as Yoda was about to take another strike at Dooku, the old man used the Force to jar a pillar in the hanger beside the three humans.
Obi-Wan felt the pillar coming down before it barely moved at all.
He gathered Anakin in his arms and yelled, "MOVE!"
Padmé didn't hesitate to obey. She jumped out of the way just in time. The pillar came crashing down just after they jumped. Anakin screamed out in pain.
Obi-Wan said "I'm sorry, Ani. We have to get him back to the temple and fast."
Dooku took this other advantage and ran into his ship and took off in a heartbeat. His droid said something in robot language and put in the coordinates for their destination.
Obi-Wan picked Anakin up and started to walk towards the ship. He laid Anakin down on a couch and covered him with his cloak. He and Padmé sat down on the floor and waited until they reached Corascant. When they got there, Obi-Wan picked Anakin up again and carried him to the infirmary. Padmé followed closely behind.
They reached the Healers Ward and Padmé opened the door for him. Obi-Wan saw Bant, his best friend, and told her what happened. She led them to a bed and Obi-Wan laid Anakin down on it. Bant took some x-rays and, like Obi-Wan suspected, he did puncture a lung. They could restore it though.
Anakin went into surgery while Obi-Wan and Padm'e waited in his room. It took about 2 hours until he was done. Obi-Wan suggested that Padm'e go to their quarters and get some sleep. She decided she would. So she left Obi-Wan with Anakin.
Obi-Wan started to doze off when he heard the sheets on Anakin's bed stir. He was alert instantly and took Anakin's hand in his own. He brushed the boy's hair back with the other.
"How are you feeling?" asked Obi-Wan.
"It's……still hard…..to.breath. It hurts a little too," he said between gasps.
"I know, but it won't be like for long. Healer Bant said that you'd be fine and ready to leave a while after you woke up, but you can't do any strenuous activities and you have to stay home and rest for the next few days," said Obi-Wan.
"Oh, ok. I can do that," Anakin stated.
After a few hours, Obi-Wan helped Anakin walk home. He stumbled a few times. When they got in they found Padmé lying on the couch asleep. They decided to let her rest, so Obi-Wan helped Anakin into bed. He fell asleep quickly and Obi-Wan decided to go and meditate on the things that had happened. Some were still a mystery; others were easy to figure out. The mysteries would present their meanings in due time. Obi-Wan just wondered how he would react to them.

Hey ya'll! I'm back! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. My mom got a Cd burner built in and they had to take the tower away from us to install it. Here's the next part!
******************
Padmé woke up later and saw Obi-Wan kneeling on the floor. He sensed she was awake and opened his eyes.
"Is he going to be all right?" she asked. Obi-Wan smiled a little.
"Yes. He'll be fine, but he's asleep right now. He has to rest for the next few days and then he'll probably be back on his feet again." Padmé gave a relieved sigh.
"Good. I was starting to get worried." He chuckled.
"You and me both." The door to Anakin's room opening startled them.
"Anakin, why are you out of bed? Are you okay?" asked the young master. Anakin shook his head.
"It happened again." Obi-Wan gave him a confused look and got up.
"What happened again?" he asked.
"I had another nightmare. Why won't they stop? I…I can't take it anymore!" the padawan said. He sank to his knees and started crying.
Obi-Wan walked over to Anakin and kneeled down beside him.
"Anakin, I don't why you keep having these nightmares, but in time they will stop. I can assure you of that," he said gently and then helped Anakin into a chair.
Anakin's crying stopped and he asked "Master, do you think, and tell me the truth, that my mother's okay now?" Obi-Wan brushed two fingers down Anakin's cheek.
"Yes, Anakin. She's fine. Somehow I can feel it and she's watching over you right now. Just like Qui-Gon is watching me." Anakin smiled.
"Do you really believe that?" Obi-Wan nodded his head.
"I do too, Anakin. She's your guardian angel," said Padmé.
"She's right, you know," Obi-Wan said pointing to Padme with his thumb. All of them laughed and quieted down.
"So, how about we all go out and get something to eat?" Anakin shot out of the chair and raced to get his cloak and ran back in 3 seconds flat.
"I'm ready!" he said with glee. Padmé and Obi-Wan started cracking up after that.
"Okay, let me guess. Your hungry?" asked Obi-Wan with a hint of amusement.
"You got that right!" said Anakin. He ran out the door and shot down the hall dodging everyone.
"Well, I think it's safe to say that he's going to be eating a lot tonight," said Obi-Wan.
"I think you're right." laughed Padmé and with that, they both ran after Anakin and found him already in a speeder.
"I thought you guys would NEVER get here!" he laughed out.
*****************************
After dinner, they all went back to the temple and talked for a while. Everything was going fine until suddenly they heard something from Anakin's bedroom. The two jedi went into the room while Padmé waited in the main room.
"Master, what's going on?" asked a scared Anakin.
"I don't know, but whatever it is that was in here sure knows how to be sneaky." answered Obi-Wan.
****************************
Sorry. Had to stop there.

RE: Entanglement (What if Obi was with Ani when his mother died? COMPLETED! UNEXPECTEDLY! REPOSTED)

Aurora Forbes hid in just enough time to get away from the Jedi.
"Man, this is way to risky, but luckily enough I like to take risks," she said. The sith was a tall woman with dirty blond hair in a braid, a blaster on her utility belt, a dagger, and an attitude.
Just when she was about to come out of hiding place, her comm. Unit rang and she quickly answered it so it would not be heard for very long.
"Forbes here," she said with annoyance.
"How are you doing, my apprentice?" asked a deep, accented voice.
"Just fine, Master. Except for the fact that the Jedi are so alert right now that I probably won't even be able to take one step," she said.
"Well, just do your job and come back quickly. I have a new assignment for you," he said.
"Yes, Master. I'll be done quickly. Forbes out," she answered with confidence. She put her comm. link back into her pocket and crept quieter than a snake can sliver out of the room.
She jumped onto the edge of the roof and climbed to the top.
"Well, Jedi. Let's see how quick you really are." Just then, she heard somebody come up behind her.
"Well, I'd say we're pretty quick if we caught you," said a voice from the shadows. Aurora spun around to face the voice.
"So, Anakin. We meet again."
************************************
Obi-Wan was clueless as to what the sith was talking about. He looked at Anakin and saw a determined and angry look on his face.
"Anakin" he said, "Calm down. Who is she?" he asked, still seeing the woman as a mystery.
"Aurora Forbes. She was always at the pod races on Tattooine and whenever I raced, she would try and kill me," he answered.
"Why would anyone want to kill you?" Obi-Wan asked his apprentice, who obviously had more answers to this entanglement than him.
"I have no clue, Master. All I know is she wanted me dead," Anakin said.
"You really want to know why I wanted you dead, Skywalker? I'll tell you. It was because I knew you would be a Jedi someday and that would create a big problem for me. I've spent years thinking about how I would capture you and kill you, but nothing ever came up. Until my master suggested something that's strictly confidential, so don't even think you're getting answers out of me," Aurora answered rudely. Then, she ran as fast as she could and jumped off the roof.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens," said Anakin.
*********************************
Padmé started to worry when Anakin and Obi-Wan left the room in such a hurry. She decided to go see what was taking them so long, but before she could get up she felt something hard slam on her head and she was in a great deal of pain. Suddenly, the whole world went black.
*********************************
Anakin and Obi-Wan were about to go back inside when Anakin dropped to his knees and grasped his head in pain.
"Anakin! What's wrong?" asked a worried Obi-Wan as he kneeled beside his pained apprentice.
"Padm'e…she's….hurt…we…have to…get…back to…the room," he managed to get out between gasps. When he was breathing easier, Obi-Wan helped him up and they ran back to the room.
When they got there, Anakin opened the door and called "Padm'e! Padm'e where are you?!?"
He looked everywhere in their quarters and found only one thing. A note. It read:
"I bet you're wondering where your precious little girlfriend is, aren't you, Skywalker? Well, I'll give you a little hint. The place we're at is very dull and musty, I guess you might say. If you want to find the planet I'm talking of, you'll have to travel very far away. We'll see you when you get here. Oh and one more thing. I hope you carry medical supplies with you. Your girlfriend's going to need it.
From your worst nightmare,
Aurora Forbes."
And that was the end of it.
"Master, we have to find Padmé. If she gets hurt in anyway, I'll never forgive myself," Anakin said, scared.
"Padawan, she'll be fine. We'll get to her in time. Now, if you let me look this over, maybe I can find out what place she's at," said Obi-Wan. Anakin gave the note to his master and watched him read it.
"It sounds very familiar to me. Very dull and musty, very far away." Obi-Wan repeated from the message.
"I think I'll take this to Master Yoda. He'll know what this sith is talking about," he said.
"Ok, but hurry. I want to get to Padmé and know that she's ok," Anakin said with tears in his eyes. He didn't even try to prevent them from falling.
"Trust me Anakin. She'll be ok." Obi-Wan comforted. He put a hand on his padawan's shoulder and asked, "Do you want to come with me?" Anakin nodded his head and followed the young knight out of the room.
*Padmé you better be ok. If you aren't I'll die.*
//No, you won't Anakin. // He heard in his head. He threw an amused glance toward his master and kept walking.
**************************
"Know of this place, I do," said Yoda. Anakin's face lit up when he heard those words.
"Where is it, Master," he asked.
"Find Senator Amidala on Dagobah, you will," he answered.
"Dagobah! I knew it sounded familiar. Musty and dull. It completely describes it," exclaimed Obi-Wan.
"Go you must, if save Senator Amidala, you want to."
"Yes, Master," said Obi-Wan and Anakin said at the same time.
********************************
Obi-Wan and Anakin walked into their transport. They sat down and strapped their seatbelts on. When they were in hyperspace, Anakin was so wiped out that he was asleep. Obi-Wan unbuckled his seatbelt and went over to his sleeping padawan.
"Anakin, wake up," He did.
"Your more tired than you think, Anakin. You should go to sleep in your bedroom." Anakin just nodded and let Obi-Wan unbuckle his seatbelt. Obi-Wan helped him out of his seat and led him to his bedroom.
Anakin's master opened the door to the room and led him inside. Anakin sank onto the bed and Obi-Wan covered him with the sheets. He was asleep within seconds.
*That's just like Anakin. Falling asleep as soon as he gets the chance.*
He chuckled to himself and brushed the padawan's hair back. Obi-Wan clicked the light off and shut the door to the room. Just as he was about to go to the cockpit, the ship was getting close to Dagobah. It took about an hour for the ship to land.
He went to wake up Anakin when he opened the door and saw his apprentice on the bed, shaking. He hurried to the bed and sat down beside Anakin.
"Ani, what's wrong?" he asked.
"I'm scared," he sobbed. Obi-Wan frowned confusingly and brushed a strand of hair from Anakin's face.
"What are you afraid of, Anakin?" Obi-Wan asked. The padawan sniffled a little.
"I'm afraid for Padmé, Master." He sat up and said, "I mean, what if she's not all right? What if she's hurt badly?" Obi-Wan pulled him into a hug.
"Anakin, she'll be fine. We'll find her and then we can go home, ok?" Obi-Wan said. Anakin nodded his head against his master's shoulder. Obi-Wan rubbed his back, then pulled away from him.
"Now, why don't we go find Padm'e?" Anakin smiled and said "Ok."
**********************************
Padmé awoke with the biggest headache of her life.
"Well, well. Look who's awake," said a voice.
"Where am I?" she asked in pain.
"You know, I don't think I'll tell you that, but I'll give you this!" said the female voice again, and with that, Padmé felt a sharp sting on her back and she screamed at the pain. She felt it again and again and again. Finally, it stopped and so did her screaming.
Padme's last thought before she fainted was *Ani, I wish you were here. *
***********************************
Anakin was sure he heard someone screaming when he fell over in pain and screamed.
"Master, help me," he cried out. Obi-Wan went down by Anakin's side and sent Force healing waves into him. Anakin relaxed his muscles and stopped screaming. He was gasping for breath when everything was over.
"Anakin, what happened?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I don't know, Master. Remember when I said I thought I heard someone screaming? Well, I think it was Padmé and I think Aurora made it so I feel anything and everything Padmé feels," he answered.
"She's unconscious now," said Anakin. He closed his eyes and thought for a while. Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open.
"I KNOW WHERE SHE IS!" He said it so unexpectedly that he startled his master!
"All right, Anakin. Calm down and we'll go and find her. Now, are you sure you know where she is?" Obi-Wan said.
"Yes, I'm positive. It's……this way," Anakin said. Both of the Jedi started heading in the direction where Anakin thought Padmé was and what they found was certainly enough of a surprise.
***************************************
Anakin saw Padmé lying on the cold, hard, wet ground, unconscious. He ran as fast as he could to her side and dropped beside her. He had tears in his eyes when he couldn't wake her.
"Padmé, what happened to you?" he whispered almost silently.
Obi-Wan was with his padawan learner in an instant. He laid a hand on his back, hoping that would comfort him a little.
"Anakin?" he asked.
"She barely breathing and she has huge gashes all over her back," he said. Tears were streaming down his face now and he didn't care.
"I'm glad we have a healer on the ship," Obi-Wan said.
"Me too," said Anakin.
"Me not," a voice echoed around the room. "I was wondering when you'd get here, Anakin," said the voice.
"Aurora." said Anakin.
"If you fight, don't battle out of anger. Or else you'll lead yourself to the dark side, Anakin," said a concerned Obi-Wan. Anakin nodded his head.
"Can you stay here with Padm'e and heal as much as you can?" Obi-Wan nodded his head.
"I'll be right back," Anakin stated.
"Anakin. Be careful."
"I will, Master," said Anakin.
****************************
Aurora felt Anakin coming and ignited her lightsaber. She saw a blue light spring out of the shadows towards her.
"You're going to pay for what you've done to Padmé!" he shouted. The blades intercepted and the battle began. Block, strike, parry, strike. Finally, Anakin caught Aurora off guard and took that advantage to thrust his blade through her chest. She gasped out in surprise and pain.
"You may have won this one, Skywalker, but you'll never win the next," she gasped and with that she dropped to the floor, turned into a pile of dust and blew away.
Anakin was breathing hard after his battle with such a skilled sith, but right now he wanted to be back at the temple with Padmé and Obi-Wan. Padmé! He remembered she was hurt and ran back to where he left Obi-Wan. Padmé was awake this time, her face contorted in pain.
"Ani?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I'm here, Padmé," he said. He brushed back some hair that was in her face and smiled.
"We're going to get you back to the ship and the healer is going to look at you, ok?" She didn't say anything, just nodded, but even that seemed to cause her pain.
Anakin put his hand on her forehead and sent a force enhanced sleep suggestion to her. She fell asleep right away and Anakin picked her up in his arms and walked back to the ship silently.

When they got to the ship, Anakin laid Padmé down on his bed and let the healer and her padawan look her over. It was a good thing Obi-Wan knew her or else nobody would have come with them.
"Anakin, there's not much I can do for her until we get to the temple and so………her chances for living are…well, they're pretty limited," Bant said sadly.
*No,* Anakin thought.
"I'm sorry," said Bant.
***************************
When they got to Coruscant for the second time to save someone's life, Padmé was barely living. Anakin picked her up and ran as fast as possible to the infirmary. They got her there in time and they saved her from a painful death.
***************************
Anakin and Obi-Wan were in the waiting room when Bant came out and sat down with them.
"She's going to be fine, but you should know that she is very sick. She was in that awful place so long that she barely survived, but she'll be fine. She's awake now if you want to see her," she said.
With those words Anakin rushed into Padmé's room, sat down beside her in a chair, and grasped her hand tightly, willing to never let go.
*Padm'e, I love you,* he thought, and, after about 2 hours, fell asleep in the chair he was sitting in, oblivious to his master opening the door and walking in.
*****************************
Obi-Wan walked into the room Padmé and Anakin were in after talking to Bant for a while. He wasn't surprised when he saw Anakin asleep in the chair. He grabbed a blanket from the small nightstand drawer beside the bed and covered the sleeping boy with it. He dropped a kiss on Anakin's forehead and shut off the light and pulled the door shut a bit, leaving it a crack open so if anybody needed to come in, the door opening would awaken neither of them. The young Jedi Knight went to his quarters and to his bedroom where he fell asleep in his own bed, which he missed terribly out of all the beds he'd slept in all his life.
****************************
In the morning, Anakin awoke to find himself covered with a blanket and his master sitting on the couch near the wall.
"I had a feeling you would wake up soon," said Obi-Wan with a hint of amusement.
"How?" asked the tired apprentice.
"Anakin, when you come in here almost everyday of your life and you fall asleep in that chair, you'll always wake up before the sun rises with a terrible pain in your back," Obi-Wan said.
"Well, you're right about one thing, Master," Anakin replied.
"What's that, Padawan?" Obi-Wan asked.
"My back does hurt and the sun isn't up yet," Anakin said with a chuckle. He stood up and stretched and walked around the room a bit to stretch his cramped legs. Anakin looked to Padmé and saw she was still asleep.
"Master, do you really think she'll be ok?" Anakin asked.
"Yes, Anakin. Now, stop worrying and go talk to her," Obi-Wan said with false annoyance. Anakin looked sat him like he was crazy and turned around. He looked straight into beautiful brown eyes and ran over to Padmé and grabbed her hand.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"I've got a headache and I'm a little thirsty," she said. Anakin picked up the glass of water on the table next to him and put the straw in Padmé's mouth and she gulped it down pretty fast.
"Thank you," her voice was hoarse. Anakin just smiled. He put a hand on her forehead and eased her headache.
"Better?" he asked. She nodded.
The healer came in and said "Well, I'm glad you're awake, Padmé. As soon as your back is healed, you can leave." Padmé was so tired that she didn't make a move.
"Padmé, are you okay?" asked a concerned Anakin.
"Huh? Oh, um yeah. I'm just a little tired," she said groggily.
"You should be. The painkiller we gave you will make you tired for the next few days," said the healer.
"You should go back to sleep now," she said. Padmé nodded her head and laid back down on the pillow and sank under the covers. She was asleep within seconds.
"Come on, Anakin. You really should get out of this room and go eat something," said Obi-Wan.
"Ok, Master," said Anakin.
***********************
Later, Anakin and Obi-Wan returned to their quarters. Obi-Wan read a new book he just bought and Anakin just watched the holo-tv.
"Ugh. There's never anything on," Anakin said.
"Well, why don't you do something educational for once in your lifetime, Anakin," lectured Obi-Wan.
"Like?" questioned Anakin.
"Like study for your classes," Obi-Wan said.
"I don't have the concentration for that right now," he said sadly.
"All right, Anakin, but don't spend all day watching TV," Obi-Wan said.
****************************
It was nighttime and Anakin was still lying around. Just as Obi-Wan was about to put his book away, Anakin went into a sneezing fit. He handed him the box of tissues and Anakin blew his nose.
"Are you feeling ok, Anakin?" Obi-Wan put his hand to his apprentice's forehead.
"You have a fever, Ani. Maybe you should go lie down and rest for a while," he said. He just nodded and coughed.
*I have a feeling this is going to be a long night.* thought Obi-Wan.
Anakin's fever got worse throughout the night. Obi-Wan checked on him every half hour or so. It was almost daytime now and he didn't get to sleep once for fear of leaving Anakin unattended. The last time he went in he saw Anakin shivering so he put another blanket over him. His temperature was almost 101* and Obi-Wan was extremely scared for his apprentice, considering Anakin was almost never sick. Then he moaned a little and Obi-Wan walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.
He put his hand on his arm and asked, "How are you feeling?".
"I've been better," said Anakin and sniffled.
"Well, I talked to Bant while you were asleep and she said just stay in bed and rest for a few days. She gave me some medicine for you too," he said. Obi-Wan got up and went to get the medicine and a glass of water.
"Here, take this. She said it would help your fever and sneezing," Obi-Wan said. Anakin took the water and the pill from Obi-Wan and swallowed it.
"Oh, and it puts you to sleep too," Obi-Wan mentioned.
"Well, I guess it's not so bad as long as I get better," Anakin said, surprising his master as well as himself.
"You must be sick. You've never accepted medicine without a fight," Obi-Wan exclaimed.
"Ha ha. Very funny," Anakin said.
"I thought so," his master countered. "Well, why don't you go back to sleep and I'll wake you up again later, ok?"
"Alright…love you...Dad," Anakin's words were slurred by sleep.
*He said he loved me and he called me….Dad* thought Obi-Wan surprised.

RE: Entanglement (What if Obi was with Ani when his mother died? COMPLETED! UNEXPECTEDLY! REPOSTED)

Obi-Wan was starting to remember a time when he was sick as a padawan and Qui-Gon was taking care of him when he said he loved him and called him Dad.
*It's like he's a young me* he thought. The sun was up but he decided to let Anakin sleep a little longer today since he was sick.
It was 9:45 when Obi-Wan went to wake Anakin up. He walked in the room and saw that the bed Anakin slept in was empty. He looked towards the bathroom and saw the light at the bottom of the door.
Obi-Wan heard Anakin getting sick and said, "Anakin? Are you alright?". He didn't get an answer so he just waited until he came out. Anakin's face was horribly pale and he stumbled out the door, coughing at the same time. He dropped to his knees in a coughing fit and Obi-Wan went down immediately beside him. After it was over, Anakin started crying.
"Ani, what's wrong?" asked Obi-wan.
"I don't wanna be sick anymore," he sobbed out and leaned against his master.
Obi-Wan put his hand on the back of Anakin's head and said, "I know you don't, Ani. You'll get better soon. I promise," soothed Obi-Wan. He put his arms around Anakin and rocked him back and forth. Anakin cried himself to sleep then. Obi-Wan put him in his bed and prayed he would get better soon. He was about to leave when he heard a familiar voice.
"Obi-Wan, your prayer will come true. Anakin will be fine tomorrow. That's a guarantee," said Qui-Gon. QUI-GON?!?
Obi-Wan's blood froze when he heard the voice of his former master. He turned and said, "Master? Is it really you?". Qui-Gon wasn't a transparent ghost like most other spirits. His body was that of a regular human and he went over to the shocked but happy Knight.
"Yes, Obi-Wan. It's really me but I just came to tell you that Anakin is going to be fine soon and you're doing a more than wonderful job training him."
He put a hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder and the Knight hesitantly reached up to see if this was real and not a dream. When he started to believe it wasn't a dream, he launched himself into Qui-Gon's arms.
"I've missed you, Master. This is so hard," He started crying because he could not stay forever.
Qui-Gon put his arms around Obi-Wan and tried to soothe him like the many times he had when his Obi-Wan had just awoken from a nightmare.
"Shh, it's alright, Obi-Wan. It's alright. I have an idea. If I'm allowed, I'll come visit you and Anakin once or twice a week, ok?" he said. Obi-Wan looked up a bit happier at Qui-Gon.
"Really? You'd do that?"
"Of course, little one. I've wanted to come see you for years but they didn't arrange it until now," Qui-Gon answered. Obi-Wan buried his face in the master's cloak again.
"Ok. Anakin and I would like that."

Obi-Wan went to check on Anakin and found him curled up in the blankets, sweating. He walked over to the bed and sat on the edge. He put his hand to Anakin's forehead and sighed in relief when he found that his fever broke. Anakin stirred a little and opened his eyes. He looked at his master.
"Do you feel any better today?"
"A little bit," he said tiredly.
"Well, you should. Your fever broke but you still have to take a different medicine for your coughing. Bant said you'd still be a little sick for a few days," Obi-Wan told the sick padawan. Anakin made a disgusted look at the sound if those words.
*Great. Now I have to take cough medicine.* he thought.
"Why don't you go back to sleep. You're still a little pale and I doubt that if you ate anything you would be able to keep it down," said Obi-Wan.
*I am a little tired. Plus, it gives me more time to dream about Padmé.* thought Anakin.
//You really should work on your shields, Padawan.// Obi-Wan "told" Anakin.
"Why do always mess with me when I'm sick when you know very well that I can't mess back?" asked Anakin.
"Because that's the only time I can ever argue with you and win. Now, go to sleep," Obi-Wan sent a sleep suggestion to Anakin and he fell asleep right away.

The next day, like Qui-Gon told Obi-Wan, Anakin was a lot better. He was still coughing a little but nothing a little medicine wouldn't help.
"Master, you weren't up all night last night were you?" Anakin asked suspiciously.
"Yes. I was taking care of you all night. Why do you ask?" said Obi-Wan.
"Well, I heard voices and it sounded like you were talking to… oh never mind," Anakin told his master.
"Like I was talking to who, Anakin," asked Obi-Wan.
"Um…well, it sounded like you were talking to…Master Qui-Gon," he whispered.
"I was, Ani," confessed Obi-Wan. Anakin's head shot up, his eyes almost as big as a Cd.
"WHAT?!? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! Isn't it?" exclaimed Anakin.
"No, it's not, Ani. I was talking to Qui-Gon," Obi-Wan said smoothly.
"But..he..and you..when..oy," he stuttered. He flopped down into a chair and Obi-Wan laughed.
"Oh, Ani, I've got a surprise for you. I'll be right back," said Obi-Wan.
"What kind of surprise?" asked Anakin.
"You'll see. Now, shut your eyes and don't open them until I tell you," Obi-Wan said impatiently.
Anakin did as he was told and waited for his master to come back.
"All right you can open them now," said Obi-Wan. When he did so, the look on his face was pure shock. The man he thought was dead for so many years was standing right in front of him.
"Hello, Anakin," said Qui-Gon.
"Is this some kind of joke, Master?" asked Anakin.
"Now would I ever play a joke on you?" Obi-Wan asked in a hurt voice.
"Yes," said Anakin.
"This isn't a joke, Anakin. I'm really here and I'm not a ghost," he walked over to Anakin as he said that and touched his shoulder.
"If I wasn't I couldn't do this," he said as he did so. As soon as Anakin's brain registered all of this, his eyes had tears in them and he threw himself into Qui-Gon's arms.
"Well, you're certainly not the little boy I remember, Ani," was all he said.
"I missed you," said Anakin through his tears.
"I know you did, Ani," said Qui-Gon.
Anakin heard Obi-Wan laughing in the background and he backed up from Qui-Gon.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You. I did the same thing last night!" Obi-Wan said, still laughing.
"And?" asked Anakin.
"And it's like you're a young me," said Obi-Wan once he stopped laughing.
"He's right, Anakin. He used to do the same thing whenever I came back from a mission. You know, that reminds me of a story of when Obi-Wan was younger," Qui-Gon said with a smirk on his face.
"Oh no. You're not going to start that," Obi-Wan demanded.
"Well, you're just going to have to live through it," Qui-Gon said to his former apprentice.
They all sat down in a chair and Obi-Wan asked "Did you come here to torture me or spend time with us?"
"A bit of both," Qui-Gon said. Anakin laughed so hard that he started choking. Obi-Wan patted him on the back.
"Take it easy, Ani. You're still sick," said Obi-Wan. Anakin stopped coughing and Qui-Gon started the story.
"Well, it was about, oh say 28 years ago when I went on a mission by myself to Geonosis. Obi-Wan was begging for me not to leave. He was about 7 years old then. Just as I was walking out the door, I felt something heavy on my robe. I looked down only to find your master clinging to my robe crying.
He said "Master, please don't go without me". Do you remember that, Obi-Wan?"
"No because I never did that," he said and pointed his nose up at Qui-Gon. The young Knight turned bright red indicating that he did in fact remember that moment.
"I was going to be gone for five days and he still wailed about me not being there. I heard that Master Windu had to use ear plugs because he was crying so loud," said Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan was now beet red. Anakin snickered and Obi-Wan shot him a glare.
"Well, when I got back, Obi-Wan was so happy that he used the Force to run down to the hanger and slammed into me so hard that I fell down. I had to fight him to get up. He was so exhausted from staying up because he missed me that after about 10 minutes he fell asleep right there in my arms. I had to carry him back to his bedroom, although he was starting to get a bit heavy for me, and we stayed master and apprentice until I was killed," said Qui-Gon finishing the story.
"Anakin did that when he was younger, except he blocked the door and tried to make me miss my transport by starting a pillow fight," now it was Anakin's turn to blush. Qui-Gon chuckled and sighed.
"Well, I better be going. I'll come back next week," said Qui-Gon. All three stood up and Anakin walked over to Qui-Gon and hugged him tight.
"Don't worry, Ani. I'll come back," said Qui-Gon. Anakin pulled away from Qui-Gon and stepped back to stand beside his master. Obi-Wan walked over to Qui-Gon and shook his hand slowly until he embraced him.
"I love you, Dad," he whispered so soft that Anakin couldn't hear it. Qui-Gon bent his head down and kissed the top of Obi-Wan's head.
"I love you too, son."
*************************
Later that day after Qui-Gon had left, Anakin fell asleep on the couch while Obi-Wan went to visit Bant. He was gone for quite a while until he came back. He saw Anakin's sleeping figure and went over to kneel beside him.
*Poor boy. He must be exhausted from being sick.* thought Obi-Wan. Not wanting to disturb Anakin, Obi-Wan threw a blanket over and let him sleep where he was. He went to meditate and during that time of meditation he sensed something was going to happen to Padmé, but what?

Padmé woke up when it was hard for her to breath. Her breathing stopped completely and she reached for the calling button. She pressed it and almost immediately Bant ran in the room and saw Padmé having breathing difficulties. She put a breathing mask over Padmé's mouth and turned it on. She waited as it forced air into the woman's lungs and she started breathing again.
"Padmé, are you all right?" asked Bant.
"I'm fine. I don't know what happened, but I'll be ok," assured Padmé.
"All right. If you need anything, just push the button," said Bant. Padmé smiled and the healer left the room. She just didn't notice the shadow creeping around the room in the shadows.
****************************
*How long have I been asleep?* Anakin wondered. He heard footsteps coming toward him and then someone was shaking him.
"Anakin, wake up," said the familiar voice of his master.
Anakin turned over and asked, "What's wrong?".
"I think we should go to the healers. Something's going to happen to Padmé," he said quickly. Anakin jumped up and put his boots on. He grabbed his cloak and the two Jedi ran out the door to the infirmary.
When they got there, they sensed something besides Padmé in the room. They burst through the door and saw someone bending over Padmé with a syringe. Before it reached her skin, Anakin attacked the assassin. He tackled them to the ground and into the light. He looked at the person's face and saw that it was none other than the bounty hunter, Jango Fett.
"Jango," Anakin hissed. Jango reached ever so slowly for his blaster and before Anakin knew it, he was hit in the head with the gun and out cold.
**************************
Obi-Wan was checking on Padmé when he heard the window open and close again. He looked to Anakin and ran beside him. He saw a rather large spot of blood on Anakin's forehead and quickly went to the 'fresher to get a wet rag. When he came back, he knelt beside Anakin's unconscious form and gently cleaned his forehead. Bant came into the room and ran over to Obi-Wan.
"What happened?" she asked worriedly.
"Do you remember Jango Fett? Well, he just tried to kill Padmé and then hit Anakin in the head with his blaster," he replied. Anakin moaned and shifted. His eyes fluttered open and he asked,
"What happened?".
"Jango hit you with a blaster," replied Obi-Wan. Anakin lifted a hand up to his head and felt where he had been hit. His hand ran over a bump on his head and he winced at the pain. Obi-Wan helped him up off the floor and onto the couch.
"Bant, can you get him an ice pack?" asked Obi-Wan.
"Sure," said Bant.
When she came back, she handed an ice pack to Obi-Wan and he gave it to Anakin. He put to his head and sighed.
"I should have sensed that coming," he said sadly.
"It came quick. I didn't even sense it," said Obi-Wan. Anakin smiled at his master and leaned his head back.
"I guess I was just tired," he said and started coughing. Obi-Wan frowned worriedly and patted Anakin's back. When he stopped coughing, Bant asked,
"Have you been taking your medicine that I gave you, Anakin?". He looked to the floor and said,
"No." Obi-Wan asked him why he didn't and he just shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, you might not take it at your quarters but you're taking it here," and she brought out another bottle of the green cough medicine and poured some into the cup that came with it. She handed it to Anakin and he made a disgusted look at it.
"You better take that by yourself or Bant will pour it right down your throat. I know from experience," said Obi-Wan. Anakin pinched his nose and swallowed the medicine. He gave the cup to Bant and she threw it away.
"You two should get back to your quarters. Padmé will be fine and if you don't go, I'll make sure you won't be able to come back in here again while she's here," she threatened.
"I'm gone," said Anakin quickly and he ran out of the room to his quarters. Obi-Wan chuckled and turned to Bant.
"Thanks for telling him that. I was sure that if you didn't, he wouldn't leave this room," he said.
"No problem. Besides, I was serious," she said and growled at Obi-Wan.
"Ok, well I think I'll just let myself out," he said nervously.
"Get," she said pointing to the door and narrowing her eyes. Obi-Wan didn't need to be told a second time, and ran right out the door.
*********************************
Obi-Wan went for a walk in the gardens for a while before he went back to the apartment. When he got there, he looked in Anakin's bedroom and found the young man asleep on his bed, with his cloak and boots still on. Obi-Wan walked over and took off his cloak and boots and covered him up with the blankets. He turned the light off and went to his room. He took off his boots and cloak and sank onto the bed. He fell asleep quickly and was peaceful for the night.
***************************
Obi-Wan woke up in the morning and got out of bed. He went to the 'fresher and when he came out he heard a loud thump in Anakin's room. He ran through his door to where Anakin's bedroom was. He burst through the door and saw Anakin trying to get up off the floor. He obviously didn't have the strength to get up and he looked up at Obi-Wan with dull eyes. He then passed out onto the floor.
Obi-Wan ran over to him and turned him over. He put his head in his lap and checked his pulse. It was normal and he lifted him onto his bed. He went to get a wet rag and put it on Anakin's forehead. He shook him gently and called his name. No answer. He tried again. Still no answer. Obi-Wan was terrified by this and called the healers ward. They came to the apartment and put Anakin on a stretcher. He was carried back to the healer's ward and put on a bed. Bant checked him over and came out to Obi-Wan in the waiting room.
"Obi-Wan, he's going to be fine but he has a virus. It's nothing we can't cure, ok?" she put her hand over Obi-Wan's and smiled at him. He just hugged her tightly.
"I'm scared, Bant. This happens to much and I can't handle it," he said.
Bant rubbed his back and said, "No, Obi-Wan. You're doing a wonderful job training Anakin and as for him getting sick all the time, well let's just say it…runs in the family."

Bant had insisted that Obi-Wan get some sleep because he had been by Anakin's side all night. She said that if he didn't she would give him a shot and Force float him to his quarters. He really didn't want that so he did as he was told. He'd slept for about 7 hours until his comm. unit rang. He groaned and answered it.
"Kenobi," he said.
"Obi-Wan, Anakin's awake now if you want to see him. Sorry to wake you but he asked to see you," said Bant.
"Thank you, Bant. Tell him I'll be there in 10 minutes," Obi-Wan replied.
"Ok, Obi-Wan. See you in a while," she said. He smiled and turned of his comm. unit. Obi-Wan changed into his tunic and pants. He put his boots on and hurried to the Healer's Ward. When he got there, he walked calmly through the door and saw Anakin half sitting up, half lying down.
He sat down in the chair beside the bed and asked, "Anakin, what happened in your bedroom?"
"I'm not sure. I was getting out of bed and I felt dizzy. I tripped on the leg of the table at the end of my bed and fell. That's when I saw you come through my door and then everything went black," he said.
"Well, it was probably because you're still sick and a little weak. I'll be right back. I'm going to go talk to Bant and there's someone who wants to see you," said Obi-Wan.
Anakin reached out with the Force to see who was coming. Padmé.
"Hi, Ani. How are you feeling?' she asked.
"A little better. Though I think I should be asking that question. Are you ok?" he said.
"I'm fine. I should be fully recovered tomorrow," Padmé told him.
"That's good. I was worried about you," Anakin said.
"You know, you should get some rest. You've had a long day and you need your strength, ok?" she said.
"Yes, Mother," he said with a hint of amusement. Padmé playfully swatted him.
"Hey! What was that for?" he exclaimed.
"For talking back to a Senator. Especially one as special as me," she said.
"Well, excuse me, Your Worship. I'll make sure I keep all my retorts for Obi-Wan," he said with a laugh. She laughed too.
"Goodnight, Ani," she said.
"Goodnight, Padmé," he replied.
Obi-Wan walked in after Padmé walked out. He sat down in the chair he vacated earlier.
"Bant told me why you're having all these dizzy spells. She said it was because of the virus you have, but you should be better by tomorrow. She said you could leave tonight too," said Obi-Wan.
"That's good. I'm really getting tired of being in here," Anakin told his master. Obi-Wan helped him get out of bed and gave him his clothes. He walked to the 'fresher to change. When he came out, he started to walk over to his master but a little over half way there he stumbled and fell. Obi-Wan had to rush to catch him.
"Not to fast, now. You're still weak and shouldn't move to quickly," said Obi-Wan. Anakin nodded and used his master as a support on the way to their quarters. Once they got there, Obi-Wan helped Anakin into bed.
"Master?" Anakin called softly.
"Yes, Anakin?" he said.
"Thank you. I'm glad you're my master. I wouldn't have argued about you being my mentor," he said.
"I'm glad too, Ani," answered Obi-Wan. He walked out of the room and went to his own. He picked up a holo of him and Anakin one Fall.
"I'm glad too," he repeated softly and turned out the light and went to bed.
***************************
"Well, I've lost Aurora so you can take her place. I name you my apprentice, Yvi Nosiop," said Darth Sidious. Yvi had long brown hair tied back in a ponytail. She had a blood red lightsabre like all the sith do. She was tall and, like Aurora, had an attitude. She didn't know Anakin but he needed to be dead. The virus Aurora injected in him obviously didn't work.
"Master, what do I have to do to kill Anakin?" Yvi asked.
"Patience, Yvi. The answers will soon come to you. You will not make an attempt on his life until you've had the proper training," answered Sidious.
"Yes, Master," she said. *I will kill you, Skywalker. Count on it.* she thought.
****************************
"Anakin, wake up," called a voice. His eyes snapped open and he saw his master sitting on the edge of his bed. He had a nightmare again. He just noticed that he was sweating and shaking.
Obi-Wan's hand was on his shoulder and his master asked, "Did you have another nightmare?".
He sat up and said, "Yes. Why do they keep coming back?!? What do they mean?!?". He put his face in his hands and started sobbing. Obi-Wan pulled him into a hug and tried to soothe him. He never did have much luck with this. He held Anakin for several minutes before pulling back. He wiped away the tears streaming down Anakin's face.
"Anakin, I don't know what these nightmares mean, and I doubt I ever will, but you will and then maybe they'll tell you something." Anakin nodded his head and threw himself into Obi-Wan's arms again. The Knight stroked the padawan's hair and after a while said,
"You should go back to sleep now. Everything will be fine."
Anakin nodded his head against Obi-Wan's shoulder and laid back down. He closed his eyes and Obi-Wan pulled the covers up over his shoulders.
"Goodnight, Ani," said Obi-Wan.
"Goodnight, Master," Anakin answered from under the covers. He then fell into a deep, restful sleep.

When Anakin woke up, he remembered that Padmé was being released from the healers today. He jumped out of bed, got dressed, left his master a note, and ran out the door to the infirmary. He walked into Padmé’s room and saw she was awake.
“How are you feeling?” he asked.
“I feel great actually. I’m glad I’m leaving today, though I don’t know if I can get to my quarters. I’m still a little shaky on my legs,” Padmé told him.
“Do you want me to help you get there? I don’t mind. Besides, there’s something I need to talk to you about,” said Anakin.
“Thank you, Anakin. That’s very kind of you to offer, but what do you need to talk to me about?” Padmé asked.
“I’ll tell you when we get you back to your room,” he said.
“All right. They said I could leave when I wanted to. So do you want to go now?” Padmé told Anakin.
“If you’re up to it, I guess,” Anakin said.
“Of course I’m up to it, Anakin. I’ve been lying in bed almost everyday. I was ready to scream,” she said. She started to get out of the bed and when she climbed down, her legs couldn’t hold her. Anakin caught her just in time.
They stared into each other’s faces until Padmé looked away and said, “I guess I’m a little clumsy.”
“No you’re not. I think you’re beautiful,” said Anakin, not knowing he’d just said that. Padmé just stared at him and the walked to the ‘fresher, putting her hand against the wall for support, to change her clothes. She came out fully dressed and Anakin put an arm around her shoulder and took her hand with his. Together they walked out of the Healers and back to Padmé’s quarters. Once they got there, Anakin helped Padmé sit down and sat next to her.
“Padmé, I know this may come to you as a shock but…I..I love you. I have ever since you walked into Watto’s shop. Everyday I thought of you. I even dreamed about you. You may not love me but I just had to tell you,” said Anakin.
“Anakin, I don’t know what to say, but I can tell you this. I love you too,” said Padmé. Anakin stared at her for a moment. He took her hands in his and brought them up to his lips. When he lowered them, they both got closer, and closer, and closer until their lips met. It was a soft passionate kiss. They deepened it until they came up gasping for air.
“Padm’e, the day that I’m knighted, I would like you to be there to see it and there will be a message on your comm. unit asking a very important question. I can’t tell you what it is right now, but you’ll find out very soon,” Anakin told her.
They kissed one more time and Anakin put his fingers under Padmé’s chin and said, “I love you, Angel.” With that, he left the room and Padmé went to sleep. Dreaming about Anakin.

When Padmé woke up, she remembered last night perfectly. She touched her lips where Anakin kissed her. She smiled, jumped slightly, and giggled. Padmé just remembered who and where she was and straightened herself up.
She heard her comm. link beep and said "Padmé." She saw the worried face of Sabé and listened to what her handmaiden had to say.
"Oh, Padmé! They're attacking Naboo! Our defenses and the gungans are here and I know we've been through this before but…you were always here with me. I'm scared. I 'm coming to Coruscant and there isn't anything you can do to change my mind."
Padmé just said, "Well, I think it's good that you're coming here. Obi-Wan's getting lonely and has no one to talk to besides Anakin of course." She saw Sabé's face brighten and a wide grin spread over her face.
"I'll be there within 4 hours," said Sabé. "Ok, Sabé. See you then. Be safe," said Padmé.
"I will," said the handmaiden and then her screen went blank. She shut it off and got ready for the day. When she was done, she went to Anakin's and Obi-Wan's quarters. There was a note taped to the door and she read it.
"Padmé meet us down in the cafeteria. We're waiting for you.
From, LOVE,
Anakin Skywalker"
She tucked the note into her pocket and hurried to the cafeteria. It wasn't hard for her to find it because there were signs pointing toward it. She followed them and found Anakin and Obi-Wan waiting for her like they said they were.
She sat down beside Anakin and said "Good morning, Anakin, Obi-Wan."
"Good morning," they said.
"So, are you ready to eat?" asked Anakin.
"More than ever," she said and it was true. She hadn't had a real meal since they left Naboo. Whenever they went to have dinner, she just picked at her food.
"What do want?" Anakin asked her.
"Whatever you're getting," she told him. She saw a little initiate standing by the table. Anakin had a piece of paper next to him.
"What are you getting, Master?" he asked.
"I guess we're all getting the same thing," said Obi-Wan. Anakin wrote something on the paper and wrote a 3 next to it. He gave it to the initiate and said, "Thank you, Teki."
"You'we welcome, Anakin," she said in a tiny, not-so-perfect-english voice. She ran off to somewhere and was nowhere in sight.
"Who was that," Padmé asked.
"An initiate. Her name is Teki. She was having a hard time adjusting to the temple so I helped her out and we've been friends ever since," said Anakin.
"She's so cute. She seems to like you a lot," Padmé told him.
"She does. She comes to our quarters everyday and talks to Anakin about her day and if wasn't going well, he helps her out," said Obi-Wan.
"Well, that's good. I'm glad you're connected with a child. It's not easy to do that. You must have a special talent with them," she said.
"Maybe. Here comes the food," said Anakin. Two initiates were pushing a rather heavy cart towards they're table. One of them was Teki. The other was a little girl.
"Hey, Maynie," Anakin greeted.
"Hi, Anakin, " she answered back. Her english was exactly the same as Teki's.
"Oh, hey this is Padmé. I think she'd like to spend some time with you two," said Anakin. The two 4 year olds smiled but looked a little uneasy. He bent down and waved them over so Padmé couldn't here anything.
"She's really nice, ok? We've been friends since I was 9 years old. She won't do anything to hurt you, ok? The only thing she'd do is protect you from danger and play and talk with you. She's just like me except more fun," he assured them. They smiled and nodded their heads.
"Now, why don't you two go back to what you were doing and I'll send for you later, ok?" he told them. They nodded their heads again and hugged Anakin. He hugged them back.
"Now go on," he said in a sweet voice. They ran off to where they were playing earlier.
"What did you tell them?" Padmé asked.
"Nothing," said Anakin.
"Uh huh, sure you didn't," she said. They ate breakfast and talked for a while after they were done. They walked back to their quarters and Anakin said he'd be right back. He went into his room and turned on his comm. link. He called the initiate house and asked for Maynie and Teki to come to his quarters. The teacher said they were on their way. He switched it off and went into the living room. He sat on the couch next to Padmé. Her comm. link rang and she found a message on it saying that Sabé was coming up to their quarters. A smile spread across her face and Anakin and Obi-Wan exchanged confused looks.
"Uh, Padmé, are you okay?" Anakin asked.
"I'm fine. Obi-Wan I have a surprise for you. It should be here in a few seconds actually," she said to Obi-Wan. Then the doorbell rang and Padmé jumped up to answer it. It was Sabé. She led her inside but Sabé stayed behind her where she couldn't be seen.
"Obi-Wan, your surprise is here," Padmé said and stepped to the side so Obi-Wan could see Sabé. He just stared at her and then came out of his trance.
"Sabé. It's good to see you again," he said. He stood up and shook her hand.
"Anakin, could I talk to you for a moment? We'll be right back," he told the two ladies.
He and Anakin went into the bedroom and Anakin said, "Master, there's something I think I should tell you. Me and Padmé….are in love."
"I know," said Obi-Wan.
Anakin asked, "How?"
"I could tell. Call it…father's instincts. I can tell when someone's in love, Anakin. It's all over their faces," said Obi-Wan.
"Oh, well what did you want to talk to me about?" asked Anakin.
"Well, what the Council doesn't know won't hurt them, right? If you promise not to tell the Council about Sabé and me, I won't tell them about you and Padmé. Deal?" he put his hand out and Anakin shook it.
"Deal," he said. The two went out in the living room and the doorbell rang again. Anakin went to answer it. It was Maynie and Teki. He let them in and led them to the couch. They both sat down on it and looked at everyone.
"Sabé this is Maynie and this is Teki. Teki, Maynie, this is Sabé. I've known her since I was little too," he whispered in their ears. They smiled when he told them she likes to play pranks.
"I have an idea. Why don't we go out to the fields? You know how nice they are Anakin," said Obi-Wan.
"Do you guys want to?" Anakin asked all the girls. They all nodded their heads and Sabé walked with Obi-Wan, Padmé with Anakin, and Maynie and Teki walked in between the two pairs. Obi-Wan and Sabé in the front and Anakin and Padmé in the back.
********************************
The six walked out to the fields and started toward a beautiful lake. Maynie held Padmé's hand while Teki held Anakin's. Obi-Wan and Sabé looked at the 4 and smiled. If you didn't know any better, you'd say they were a family. They sat down and watched as Anakin and Padmé told stories to Maynie and Teki. The two little ones listened with amazing attention for their age. Any other 4 year old would just goof off.
"-and that's how I met Anakin," said Padmé finishing a story. She took his hand in his and smiled.
"You guys wew weally young," said Te | |
