Take as much time as you need!
“You aren’t the first person to ever receive a warning from a patrol droid for excessive speed,” she said before the giggle she had fought so hard to contain finally burst free. 
“It seems as though you both have given this much thought.” Unlike in canon...
“He’s okay,” Qui-Gon assured her. “It’s a vision. I hope Obi-Wan isn’t alone,” he murmured.
“Why not?”
“Chances are he is seeing something as well.” I love this passage. It shows how well they know each other, and how much they care for each other.
The gentle prairies that Obi-Wan had known since childhood were not to be seen, swallowed up in churning winds and a growing, dense black fog. The darkness had descended. The storm was upon them. Obi-Wan could feel the wind tearing at his cloak. Dust and debris and frayed blades of torn lavender grass pelted his face. He resisted the urge to close his eyes, knowing that what he was about to see was too important. He was drawn to a sound he heard in the distance – the echoes of thousands of footfalls as one by one, a horde of white emerged from the shroud of fog and began to march on the building. Everywhere they touched, the darkness spread. I love the imagery. Knowing canon, this sent chills up my spine.
Obi-Wan’s hand went to his side. In unison, three blades split the darkness. The sound echoed far behind him. He turned to find the training center no longer there, replaced by a sea of ignited sabers – an army of light. This is the best line of the chapter. They're ready to fight, and the Sith truly have no idea of what will come. They may think they do, but they don't.
“I was called into Palpatine’s office today,” Obi-Wan explained. “I was to investigate some accounting errors from when Senator Kitab was still serving. Senator Kitab and Senator Shak used their authority to divert funds and contracted a clone army.” Uh-oh. Why do I have a feeling a certain Sith was behind it, using them so he wouldn't be caught?
"Whatever happened in the past, an army of the Republic now exists," Obi-Wan said softly. “I spent most of the evening speaking with the Prime Minister of a planet named Kamino. It’s real. They showed me training grounds via holo. There were rows upon rows of troops – all dressed in white armor.” And so it begins...
[i]“I was Olin Kitab’s aide and protégé. I assure you, I will at the very least be investigated.”[/quote] Obi-Wan is in serious trouble. This will not be good for the Jedi- or the galaxy.
Wonderfully chilling update!

I love that they approve of Padme's and Anakin's relationship and that they are willing to wait for the right time.
I loved that ANakin and Obi-Wan shared a vision and that Obi understood what it meant. Shows that experience helps a lot in those kind of situations.
Loved that Obi told Padme to distance herself. Slef-sacrificing as always but he may be right!
“You have to distance yourself from me politically,” Obi-Wan said abruptly, directing his attention to Padme.
“Distance myself? Why?” she asked.
“I’ve been set up – we all have.” Obi-Wan sunk down to the floor and rested his head back against the wall. “The debate in Senate – it’s a charade – it doesn’t matter …”
Great job. Sorry I haven't been keeping up but RL isn't kind at the moment.

I'm glad to see that this story is still being updated, it is one of my favorites - please include me for future update PM.

Obi-Wan didn’t remember ever seeing the sky over Dantooine so dark. Even on nights, moons and stars shone through brightly. He was standing outside the training center next to a large blba tree at the entrance, one that had been his nemesis as a child. He wasn’t alone. On his right stood Yoda. On his left stood Anakin, the Force’s Chosen One. The young man was ablaze in glory, luminous.
“The storm comes,” came Yoda’s monotone voice.
The gentle prairies that Obi-Wan had known since childhood were not to be seen, swallowed up in churning winds and a growing, dense black fog. The darkness had descended. The storm was upon them.

That was a very well-written & powerful passage.
It is also good to see that the Jedi - especially Anakin - are all cooperating so well and thinking through the next course of action.

Another wonderful post!
“What’s so funny?” the Jedi master asked.
“Go ahead and tell him,” Anakin sulked.
“Anakin received a warning for excessive speed.”
“Imagine that,” Qui-Gon replied dryly.
“I got us here safely.” A lopsided, cocky grin tugged at Anakin’s lips as he offered his defense. “And, at least I beat the traffic.”
Loved it.

Hah, I figured it wasn't a first time. 
So sweet to know that Padme and Anakin have approval of those close, but what type of future might it be??
Well, they always say the first thing in avoiding a trap is to know it's there.

So to my friends that even call but I don't call back
I want you deep inside my heart upon a hill
It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder
I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will

Events are really starting to explode in this fic. I'm worried about Obi-Wan and hope Palps isn't able to do too much damage.

It's good that Anakin has Obi-Wan to help him understand the visions they both seem to share.
But I think Padme may make things difficult if she refuses to keep her distance, professionally, from Obi-Wan.

I've spent quite a few hours over this last three days reading this. I've really enjoyed it  and I look forward to reading more.
I think that the way you set up the Jedi in this story makes it much more likely that Anakin will avoid the fate he had in the canon universe-- having his mother close while he learned the ways of the Jedi, not having to sneak around about his feelings for Padme.
Now if only those Sith will cooperate and leave the Jedi and the Galaxy in peace
Great Job!

Okay, I love how Obi-wan and Anakin are so connected that they share visions. Whether that is because of their relationship or their places in the Force, it is just plain cool.
Great update.
