Meanwhile…
Anakin was gathering his things and saying goodbye to C-3PO while Qui-gon assured Shmi would take care of both me and Anakin. Qui-gon had sold the pod and gave the money to Shmi. Shmi and Anakin hugged then she sent him on his way. He started down the street, but he stopped and looked back at her then ran to her.
“I can't do it, Mom. I just can't.” He said tearfully. She knelt down to see him eye to eye.
“Ani, remember when you climbed the great dune in order to chase the Banthas away so they wouldn't be shot... Remember how you collapsed several times, exhausted thinking you couldn't do it?” He nodded his head as he remembered. “This is one of those times when you have to do something you don't think you can do. I know how strong you are, Ani. I know you can do this...” Tears were starting to form in her eyes as well.
“Will I ever see you again?” Anakin said, a tear slipping down his cheek.
Shmi smiled slightly. “What does your heart tell you?”
“I hope so... yes... I guess.” He tried to put on a brave face for his mom.
“Then we will see each other again.” Though she said the words, she had a sinking feeling she wouldn’t see me or Anakin ever again.
Anakin’s face now held determination. “I will become a Jedi and come back and free you, I promise, Mom.”
“No matter where you are, my love will be with you and Petra. Now be brave and don't look back... don't look back.” Shmi hugged him.
“I love you so much.” He said as she hugged him. They parted and he walked towards Qui-Gon…and his destiny.
Qui-gon and Anakin, once out of the town’s limits, started to run towards the ship. Qui-Gon had an uneasy feeling and it was realized when he heard a sound behind them.
“Anakin drop!” He said as a speeder came recklessly towards them and as soon as Anakin dropped to the ground, the speeder whizzed over him and the rider flipped off, igniting a lightsaber. Anakin ran to the ship and into the main hold.
“Qui-gon said to take off” he said breathlessly as he ran up to me and Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan immediately jumped up and ran to the cockpit, with Anakin, Padme, and myself behind him.
He sat down next to the pilot. “Over there, fly low.”
Ric Olie, the pilot, started up the engines and guided the ship towards Qui-gon and the black-robed attacker. Qui-Gon saw the lowered ramp and used the Force to jump up onto it, leaving the attacker in the sand. As Qui-gon collapsed in the main hold, Obi-Wan, I, and Anakin ran in towards him.
“Are you all right?” Anakin asked, concern filling his blue eyes.
“I think so... that was a surprise I won't soon forget.” Qui-gon said as he leaned back trying to catch his breath.
“What was it?” Obi-wan questioned, not sure why he had such a heavy feeling on his heart.
Qui-gon sighed. “I don't know... but he was well trained in the Jedi arts. My guess is he was after the Queen...”
“Do you think he'll follow us?” Anakin asked yet again; I had to smile at his questions. My little brother was one of the most curious people I knew, and there never seemed to be an end to his curiosity.
“We'll be safe enough once we're in hyperspace, but I have no doubt he knows our destination.” Qui-Gon said matter-of-factly.
Anakin looked at me then at Qui-Gon. “What are we going to do about it?”
Obi-Wan looked at Anakin, then at me, then finally at Qui-gon, confusion evident in his face.
“We shall be patient. Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi.” Qui-gon motioned with his hand from Anakin to Obi-Wan. Anakin extended his hand out and Obi-Wan took it and shook it. I could tell from Anakin’s reaction that he was beyond thrilled.
“You’re a Jedi too? Pleased to meet you.” He said enthusiastically. Anakin looked at me again; my expression held no emotion, even though inwardly, my stomach was turning in knots and my heart felt like it would beat out of my chest.
A\N: sorry if I'm posting too much, too soon, but with VBS this week I know I'm going to be burnt out so I don't know how much time I'll have to write....

~Two Hours Later~
I couldn’t sleep so I got up from where I was lying down and walked to the engine room. Obi-Wan was sitting in the corner where I couldn’t see him. I sat down against the bulkhead, leaned my head back, and tried to at least doze off. I heard a creak and I opened my eyes. I couldn’t see anything in the dark room; but I knew someone was with me. I closed my eyes again and ignored the noise. For some reason, I knew it was Obi-Wan. I don’t’ know how I knew; I just did.
“You know it’s rude to stare at someone when they’re trying to sleep.” I said, still with my eyes closed.
I smiled as I heard a sudden creak; as if Obi-Wan had been thinking and I had interrupted his thoughts. “I didn’t mean to startle you, Kenobi.”
“I apologize; I shouldn’t have been watching you.” He said softly. He really didn’t regret it. He too, felt a connection that he couldn’t explain; almost as if he’d known me all my life and had just been reacquainted.
My smile never left my face. “It’s alright; you didn’t stare a hole through me.” I said, laughing softly. I heard his soft chuckle get a little louder as he got up, walked towards me, and sat down next to me.
“I never thanked you for helping with the hyper drive; it is running excellently now.” He said sincerely.
I shrugged my shoulders. “It was nothing; just helping out.”
He smiled at me but I didn’t see it. “You have a lot of talent for someone your age.”
I shrugged again, really wanting to go to sleep but not being able too. “Just credit it to years of forced labor with those kinds of things.” I finally just opened my eyes and stared at the bulkhead opposite me.
“Do you miss Tattoine?” He said, a certain level of concern in his voice.
I scoffed. “That rock? Heavens, no. I don’t care where we’re going; as long as it’s away from there.” I figured he’d believe me, but from the look on his face, he didn’t.
“I think you exaggerate.” He said, his eyes boring into mine. I averted his gaze and returned to staring at the bulkhead.
“How so?” I said, trying to get him off my back.
“I’m a Jedi; Jedi can sense these things.”

I rolled my eyes but inwardly, I reluctantly admitted that he was right…much as I despised him. “You’re right; I miss my mother. I didn’t get to say goodbye properly.”
My shell started to break as I realized how much I really did miss her. A tear slipped down my cheek; I didn’t notice it at first but I saw…and felt him reach over and wipe it away. Now why did he have to do that? My thoughts suddenly turned from my mother to what he did. The little rat.
“I’m sure she misses you just as much.” Obi-Wan said in that lovely warm voice of his.
“Yeah.” I said and I closed my eyes again. But in reality, I wanted to talk to him; let him know how I truly felt. I wanted to tell him that I was scared out of my mind to be caring for Anakin by myself. I felt like I could trust him with anything; and my life. But I held back. I ignored the desire to pour my heart out to him and instead focused on trying to sleep. He got up and walked back to the chair; once seated he began to meditate. I was able to go to sleep but I must have been cold because Obi-Wan took his robe off and laid it over me. I was a little confused when I felt a rough cloth against my face when I woke up but I once I realized what it was, I was grateful. The warm, albeit rough robe completely covered me; so, like any person would be comfortable and warm, I snuggled up under it and went back to sleep.
A\N: I know it's short but as I've been so tired and unable to come up with the next few scenes it'll have to do. and, uh, sorry for the fangirl-ism in Obi-Wan's line.

I felt strong, yet gentle hands grip my shoulder and shake me awake. I groggily opened my eyes and found myself staring into Obi-Wan’s face, which really, wasn’t a bad thing to wake up too.
He smiled at me as I tried to wake up. “We’ve just landed on Coruscant. I thought I’d wake you.”
I shook my head, trying to fully awaken. “Where?”
“The capital of the Republic. We’re waiting for the Queen to be ready to leave.”
I was really confused now. “What Queen? I didn’t know we were traveling with a queen.”
The smile turned into a full-fledge grin. “Remember Padme, the girl that you met on Tattoine?”
“Yeah, why?”
“She is one of the Queen’s handmaidens.” He said matter-of-factly.
My eyes widened. “Really?”
He laughed slightly. “Really; come on.”
He offered his hand and helped me up. I handed his robe back to him. “Thank you.”

That was cute. I wouldn't mind waking up to Obi-wan's face either.

He nodded as he put his robe back on and walked to the front of the ship. I followed behind him and met Anakin and the others in the main hold. Queen Amidala, accompanied by her handmaidens, walked towards us. The Jedi bowed out of respect; she nodded and walked down the lowered ramp, her handmaidens following behind and around her. Her guards walked down the ramp then and at the last, the Jedi, myself, Anakin, R2D2 and Jar Jar Binks. We were greeted by Senator Palpatine and Chancellor Valorum.
Palpatine bowed slightly. “It is a great gift to see you alive, Your Majesty. May I present Supreme Chancellor Valorum?”
The Chancellor kept his face forward, not even looking at the Queen. “Welcome, Your Highness. It is an honor to finally meet you in person. I must relay to you how distressed everyone is over the current situation. I've called for a special session of the Senate to hear your position.”
Queen Amidala nodded and started walking past him to Senator Palpatine. “I am grateful for your concern, Chancellor.”
Sen. Palpatine starts to lead the Queen to a waiting air taxi. Her handmaidens, Jar Jar, Anakin and I start to follow them.
“There is a question of procedure, but I feel confident we can overcome it...” said Senator Palpatine, and then he walked out of earshot. Qui-gon and Obi-Wan stayed behind with Chancellor Valorum.
“I must speak with the Jedi Council immediately, Your Honor. The situation has become much more complicated.” Qui-Gon said. Anakin and I both turned around. Qui-gon motioned for us to go on without them but I stayed where I was. Anakin went on without question.
“Master, Chancellor; excuse me for a moment.” Obi-Wan said. Qui-Gon and the chancellor nodded as Obi-Wan bowed slightly and walked towards me.
I crossed my arms. “Are we the complication?”
He touched my arm and his voice was lowered; he spoke softly. “You’re anything but a complication.” Boy that’s really a contradiction, Obi-Wan thought. “We’ll catch up.”
A\N: sorry about the long wait. I'll try to write some more this week but since I have two friends coming over tomorrow, I don't know if I can.
