Poof has a love-hate relationship with the Saga. On the one hand, it’s where he has his shinning moments as a Jedi Knight on the Jedi Council. On the other hand, he dies during the Saga era, and that wasn’t much fun at all.

I appolagize for the long wait everyone. DRL and DWB weren't giving much of a break lately. Well here's the new update and Happy Holidays!






Chapter 10



Dinner had been the worst part of the evening for Anakin. The most he could afford was a casual restaurant and that was hardly the place for a Homecoming dinner. It was his limit though – the bill for himself and Padme had eaten up his allowance for at least two weeks. He watched not without jealously as Obi-Wan easily paid the bill for both himself and Sabe. Padme had offered to pay for herself and Anakin wished she hadn’t. Blushing, Anakin had assured her that it was alright and put out the cash. Anakin was grateful that Padme and Sabe had been so polite as to not say anything about the simplicity of the place. This tact made him love Padme even more and respect Sabe more as well. The fact that Obi-Wan didn’t say anything ether, naturally, went over Anakin’s head. Of course this tact of the two girls made Anakin feel worse. He was tying them down, in his opinion. He wanted to take Padme to an elegant, expensive restaurant with romantic candle lighting, soft music, and prim waiters with French accents. He also felt bad because of Sabe. She deserved to go to a nice place for dinner on a formal date night, especially since Obi-Wan would be able to pay for any restaurant she wanted to go to. That was actually one of the things Anakin thought of when he asked himself why a cute girl like Sabe would date someone like Obi-Wan – he was loaded.

Once they arrived at the dance Anakin started to relax. Spotting Quin, who was already trying to fondle a sexy looking Aayla, Anakin waved and shouted, “Thanks for the favor!”

Quinlan smiled at him and mouthed, “You owe me details later, Skywalker.”

“You wanna go dance?” Anakin asked Padme, still a little fidgety.

“Of course.”

Anakin took her by the hand and led her to the dance floor, The fast song that was playing made excessive contact a little difficult to obtain, which was frustrating not only for Anakin but other guys with “hot” dates, but it was a blessing enough for the smitten blonde to have Padme dancing with him – not some other guy but HIM.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obi-Wan, feeling that he wasn’t quite ready to “get out and giggy” as his mother had called it, led Sabe to the refreshments table. The music was loud and made conversation a little difficult but Obi-Wan was pleasantly surprised when he realized that Sabe seemed to be quite interesting in a political conversation. ‘This might turn out alright after all,’ Obi-Wan thought to himself, now more because he was actually thinking that way and not as a way of reassuring himself.

However, things just had to go wrong. “Hey, Obi-Wan,” called a female voice behind him and Obi-Wan turned to come eye to eye with a rather flushed Siri. ‘Probably because of all that dancing,’ Obi-Wan thought, more bitterly then he should have. Siri had abandoned her usual black style for a baby-blue, spaghetti-strap, cocktail-length dress. It was glossy and flowing, bringing out her icy eyes, which sparkled with excitement. Next to her stood a lanky jock, who had on a disturbingly lusty smile.

“Hello, Siri. You having fun?”

“Yup! You want to introduce me to your date,”

“Oh umm…yes of course. Sabe this is my friend Siri. Siri this is Sabe.”

“And I’m Dave,” the jock, Dave, butted in.

After a round of sincere and not so sincere “nice to meet you”s Siri finally waved a goodbye to Obi-Wan and Sabe and walked off with Dave to dance to the new slow song.

A slow song was the last thing Obi-Wan needed. He had to ask Sabe to dance, she was starting to look annoyed with him and other guys had started to look interested in her. Obi-Wan knew that if he let her go off with someone else then he would obtain the reputation of “ditched at dance” along with other things. Obi-Wan glanced to where Siri was dancing with Dave and felt him stomach tie into an unexplainable knot. Tearing his eyes away from Siri, Obi-Wan turned to Sabe and asked her to dance. A smile spread on her face/ “I honestly thought you’d never ask and we’d just babble about politics all night. Padme would enjoy the conversation more,” Sabe said with a laugh, dragging Obi-Wan onto the dance floor and locking her arms round his neck. Obi-Wan couldn’t help but blush. Had he really so miscalculated her interests?

But the embarrassment faded as his eyes found Siri in the crowd. There was something about her tonight that made his stomach lurch and his breathing a little more shallow. Something about her blonde hair and blue eyes. And that stupid wa y she was smiling up at Dave. All her smiles for him had been teasing, even if friendly, and he had never mined. Not once – until now. Now something inside of him made him wish that she would smile in that…special…way.

Obi-Wan caught a glimpse of Bant and Garen dancing together and thought off handedly that they would make a cute couple. Then his attention returned to its previous alternation between Sabe and Siri.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anakin had lost the sense of time and space rather quickly. He had given Padme his full attention, not letting Tru’s glares that demanded attention get to him. She was beautiful in her open-back pink dress and her hair up in elegant curls. Her brown eyes would look into his and Anakin would have the biggest urge to kiss her. Kiss her long and deep.

After several songs Padme had excused herself and steeling Sabe from Obi-Wan made her way to the ladies room. Anakin, dreamy and slightly flushed, made his way over to one of the refreshment tables.

“Finally!” Tru called. “Why is everyone always ignoring me?”

“You should’ve gotten a date man,” Anakin said lightly, clapping Tru on the shoulder and pouring himself some punch. “Damn, Tru, she’s so gorgeous!”

“Who?”

“What do you mean who? Padme of course!”

“Oh I see. Well to each his own. I’m board and ditched so I’m not in the mood for your lover-boy drivel.”

“Ah lighten up,” Anakin laughed. “Have you seen Darra?”

“Yup. But she’s ignoring me too. She’s been dancing with Olin all this time.”

Anakin groaned. “What does she SEE in him? I wonder what kind of crap he’s been feeding her.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Darra was having a good time. Ferus was hot, nice, and smart. She really didn’t understand why Anakin didn’t like him. ‘Most likely,’ Darra decided, ‘it’s for the same reason he doesn’t like Obi-Wan.’ However she wished she could be having a better time. Ferus was going on about some psychological novel’s author or something of the sort and Darra found her concentration wavering. She glanced over to where Anakin was standing with Try and wondered where Amidala had gotten to.

She didn’t want to admit it but she would rather be dancing with Anakin then with Ferus. Ferus was great of course but he was no Anakin. ‘Maybe I’ll ask him for a dance later,’ Darra decided and returned her attention to Ferus with a mission to change the subject to something more interesting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Oh this atmosphere is definitely quite rejuvenating. Wouldn’t you agree, Mr. Windu?” Principle Palpatine asked as he and Mr. Windu made rounds around the dancing students. “It’s always such a pleasure to see our students enjoying themselves here. That is why I agree to chaperone when I can,” Palpatine added with a sugary smile.

“Perhaps, but kids these days have no decency like in my days here. Ha! Not only do they not have decency but they lack class and style,” Mr. Windu disagreed passionately. “The way people dance these days.”

“Oh I am sure you are over exaggerating,” Palpatine drawled.

“With all due respect, Principle Palpatine, if you call that decent…” Mace motioned to where Aayla was dancing with her back to Quinlan, her hips grinding against his in a rhythmic motion. Quinlan’s hands were moving along her body, traveling to rather inappropriate areas.

“Oh, my…” Palpatine said shaking his head.

Mace put on his tough face and marched toward Aayla and Quin. “Hey, kid!” Mace shouted at Quin. “Stop fondling her and acquire some sense of decency.” With a huff Mace Windu marched away leaving Aayla and Quin to snicker behind his back.

“Awful is it not?” Yoda said, coming up to Windu’s side. “Maybe right you are, Mr Windu. Have the PE teacher’s job you should.” Yoda hummed thoughtfully. “In my day, teach ball dancing in Physical Education they did. Teach these children proper dancing you could.”

“Pardon me, Mr. Yoda,” Mace said slowly. “But I don’t know ball room dancing that well so I couldn’t possible teach them that.”

“A problem, that is not!” Yoda announced almost proudly. “Teach you I could. Be your partner for demonstrations I could too.”

For a moment Mace’s eyes widened, then regaining control of himself he said with a fake smile, “I think I’ll go and dance.” Mace stumbled onto the dance floor and tried to roll his hips in an imitation of some of the students near him.

“Strange, Mr. Windu can be,” Yoda muttered to himself. “Counseling he may need. Meditate during yoga on this I will.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I’m board,” complained Ventress, tapping her long nails on the tabletop.

“We could dance,” Maul said suggestively.

“You touch me and I kill you,” she hissed.

“I can’t believe they ditched us,” Bruck muttered, referring to Dooku, Xanatos, and GG. Dooku Jr. had scored a date with the librarian’s helper, not to mention most likely the future librarian. Xanatos, because of his dashing looks had attracted a sexy blonde girl and had gone off to dance. GG had stalked after Shaak Ti until she was forced to hide from him in the bathroom. Maul and Ventress had bet on how much time it would take until GG actually dared to go inside the girls bathroom.

“You know we don’t need them,” Maul sneered, his eyes fixed on the spot where Obi-Wan, Ferus, and a few of their friends from the Super Quiz team had gathered and where obviously engrossed in some conversation. “We can have our own fun.”

Ventress and Bruck exchanged looks. Ventress fingered the beads lining the low cut of her black dress. “What do you have in mind?”

I'm sorry, but that's funny! laugh laugh

Palpatine's reaction is priceless. laugh

I feel so bad for Anakin. But I'm sure Padme didn't mind one bit. She likes Anakin for being who he is and wouldn't care about money or fancy food. peace happy I did notice some jealousy though because Obi-wan didn't have trouble. That worries me. worried But it's just like usual for the two of them. mischief

Dooku had scored a date with the librarian’s helper, not to mention most likely the future librarian, Jocasta Nu.

Amazing how well Star Wars fits into a high school setting. mischief Everything just seems to fall into place. Wonderful writing. You have a great imagination! applause

Oh dear, looks like the gang is going to cause trouble. doh! worried I still think Principal Palpatine is the leader of the gang. Only, he calls himself Lord Sidious. mischief

G__Anakin: Thanks for reviewing happy

Palpy560: Oh jealousy between Ani and Obi is certainly nothing new! Yup, SW does have an uncanny way to fit into the HS setting. Lol. I actually think I messed up with Dooku’s re-interpretation a bit but its not causing too much trouble as it is happy

ATTENTION! IMPORTANT AUTHOR’S NOTE/ANNOUNCEMENT!

(If you began reading this story after 12/27/06 this does not apply to you)


*Deep breath* Ok everyone, I have decided after quite some consideration, that I need to make a change with one of my characters – Dooku. I realized that my re-interpretation of his is rather of and I have tied my hands where ir comes to a possible Prequal. For the sake of accuracy, and since Dooku has made very few appearances, I’ve decided to make some changes in the character. So far he has been assumed to be a re-incarnate of the Dooku in the movies. Now if you are to go you’d see that Dokoku’s name, except in dialogue, I followed by “Jr” Now the Dooku you have seen so far will go as “Dooku Jr.” To answer some question I know you have: What about the Count Dooku from the movies? Dooku from the movies will still be in the fic and he will be mentioned in this update. Who is Dooku Jr. then? That will be explained in this update. I know this change kinda throws things off balance for a bit but jut trust me…it’ll work better this way.







Chapter 11




The Gang had its own structure in rank. Dooku Jr, referred to by his “friends” as simply Dooku, was the son of a political radical and rumored owner of an illegal cooperation – Count Dooku, better known as Tyranus. Tyranus was born an English count by inheritance and had forced all those he met, after his move to the United States, to recognize the title. After getting involved in some underhanded organizations and shadowy political parties Count Dooku had excepted a pen name of sorts – Tyranus. Seeing as Dooku Jr. had the most influence through family ties, not to mention intelligence, out of the gang members, he was recognized as the leader of the gang.

Maul and Ventress had the most appeal to Dooku Jr, who chose his followers carefully. Ventress had a merciless cruel streak about her and a strange attraction to Dooku as she was, so far, the only girl who could meet his standards. Maul was the rough-and-tough kind who listened to hard rock, seemed to live of bear and drugs, and rarely went home before his guardians were asleep. If Ventress had the creative torture ideas, Maul was the one who could always enforce them.

Xanatos, a rank below Ventress and Maul, had started out as a good looking rich boy. His father had gone through a rough stage due to his drinking problem. Xanatos, to avoid being home and have an excuse for doing so, had then joined the fencing team, encouraged by Qui-Gon Jinn. However the social circle he found himself in was not pleasing and to release his anger and frustration Xanatos had turned to the Gang and their activities. Despite his position as captain Xanatos suddenly started skipping practices and making excuses not to go to meets. His father, influenced by someone, though Xanatos didn’t find out who until much later, had told his son things about Qui-Gon Jinn and the team that made the boy doubt everything that had to do with Jinn and the team. Finally overhearing a heated conversation between his father and Jinn, as well as later being told that Jinn had insulted his father, Xanatos left the fencing team and had joined the Gang.

Bruck had been a Middle School bully. Loud and in everyone’s way the boy liked to pick on everyone who couldn’t stand up to him, or simply chose not to. He was big and buff, mostly interested in the moment’s fun rather then any big scheme. Xanatos had been his ticket into the Gang. The gang was too well know as a terroristic force around Temple High to allow the average low class bully into their midst. Xanatos, however, had pushed for Bruck’s acceptance and finally, after several tests, the handsome new Gang member was assigned Bruck as his protégé.

GG, as the newest, had no rank yet. Weather he would surpass Xanatos and Bruck by rank was yet to be decided. It was only decidedly obvious that Dooku Jr. was pleased with him and so was Palpatine – for the moment at any rate.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Padme, is something wrong?” Sabe asked, slightly concerned by how flushed Padme looked.

“Oh no, no, nothing’s wrong,” Padme assured her cousin, turning to the mirror and starting to apply touches of make up that had been smeared off.

“Then why did you drag me here?” Sabe asked, only slightly annoyed.

“I…well…” Padme hesitated. She wasn’t sure why she had this urge to speak with Sabe. All she knew was that there was something about Anakin Skywalker that made everything inside her burn. It was a feeling that made her feel guilty. She shouldn’t be feeling this way because… because she wasn’t suppose to feel this way about him ot anyone, for anyone for that matter, except for the guy she was currently engaged in a romantic courtship with. Anakin made her feel this strange burning and act in this unpredictable way which worried her. What did he want anyways? They were so different. Anakin was so natural, so simple while she was… What was she? This boy made her question everything. That’s why she needed to talk to Sabe. She needed her cousin to talk some sense into her so she could regain her previous calm and control. “Anakin and I,” Padme started carefully. “We don’t suit each other do we?”

Sabe squinted, confused. “Why not?”

Padme sighed inwardly. This wasn’t going to be so easy. “Well we are so different.”

“And?”

“And I romantic relationship, or anything like it, between us would be socially unacceptable.”

“Since when has that bothered you?” Sabe asked, shaking her head in disapproval.

“My position on the Student Council means a lot to me and besides a guy like Anakin would have…expectations.”

“Umm…ok…honestly, Padme, Anakin seems like a decent boy to me.”

“Sabe, you aren’t helping,” Padme said shaking her head. “I am trying to be serious.”

“So am I! Padme he’s a nice boy and he’s obviously crazy about you.”

“You think so?” Padme blushed a little.

Sabe nodded. “If you don’t believe me I’m sure that—“

“No, no, I believe you. I’m just not sure if I should indulge his interests.”

“Why not?” Sabe sounded exasperated. “He’s cute, smart, nice…”

“You’re really no help,” Padme said laughing. “I better go before Anakin goes looking for me.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anakin, seeing that Padme and Sabe had emerged from the girls bathroom, made his way toward Padme and invited her to go outside with him for “a breath of fresh air.”

“Have you ever been to one of the tropical islands?” Padme asked, leaning over the back railing of the bleachers that stood overlooking the football field.

“No. I, ah, I don’t get to travel much. But I suppose I’d like to go one day. Have you ever been to one?”

“My parents use to always take me and my sister to some warm beachside resort when I was younger. We’d swim out in the ocean, or walk through the forest and listen to the birds sing. We’d always go to the beach to watch the sunset and lie in the warm sand.”

“I hate sand,” Anakin remarked contemplatively. “It’s rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere.”

Padme laughed. “It really isn’t that bad, Anakin.”

He smiled at her and reached out to touch her hand. “Possible,” Anakin murmured, not really registering what he was saying. Feeling braver since Padme didn’t push him away, Anakin let go of her hand and touched her open back, flattening his palm against her skin so he could gain as much contact as possible.

Padme looked up at him, Anakin stared deeply into her eyes, praying that she felt even half of what he did. He leaned in slowly, his eyelids fluttering shut as his lips touched hers. The response came immediately, almost as if she had been expecting him to kiss her.

For several moments the world stopped existing. Then there was a rush of cool air and Padme was stepping away from him. “I shouldn’t have done that,” Padme said quietly, refusing to look at him.

“I’m sorry,” Anakin apologized, blushing.

Oh Dooku Jr. now eh?
Interesting twist. thinking I like it.

If Ventress had the creative torture ideas, Maul was the one who could always enforce them.

Nice line! And very true to the movie characters. applause

Dooku Jr. was pleased with him and so was Palpatine

Hmmm...very interesting. mischief
I think I'm starting to understand some of the stuff going on behind the scenes. There's a lot more going on with the adults at this school than we know. Am I right? mischief Can't wait to see how this develops. peace

“Anakin and I,” Padme started carefully. “We don’t suit each other do we?”

Please. rolling_eyes laugh
She likes him. Everyone knows it. grin mischief
But... *sigh* that's usually what it's like in High School. All sorts of social issues between students. I hated that part of school, personally. plain

Great Update!
