okay, so I haven't fully recuperated yet; but oh well.
“Alright, alright, enough you two.” Qui-Gon said, but he didn’t really mean it. He was enjoying this little love triangle between the three of them and knew that Obi-Wan was caught between a rock and a hard place. One of the Jedi Council members came out and asked Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to join them, but as he went back, he cast curious looks at Obi-Wan and Siri, who were still on the floor nearly wrestling. Obi-Wan stood up and straightened his robe out, smoothing the wrinkles. He winked at me, for a reason I still don’t know, and walked on with Qui-Gon into the chamber, where Anakin was anxiously awaiting his fate. I unfortunately, was left alone with Siri, who was obviously a little more than miffed at Obi-Wan.
“I’ll get him back for it later” she said disdainfully. I just shrugged my shoulders and sat down on a nearby bench. Siri sat down next to me but I really wished she’d just leave me alone. I didn’t like her and I got the sense that the feeling was mutual. As I’d later realize, I was coming in-between her and Obi-Wan; the rift in their relationship that started then would have disastrous consequences.
“So how old are you?” Siri asked.
She couldn’t see my face, so I knew she couldn’t see that I rolled my eyes. “Seventeen; I’ll be eighteen in a few weeks.”
“You seem older than that.” Siri said, referring more to the way I carried myself than my physical features.
“Being a slave does that to you.” I said nonchalantly. What could be taking them so long?

You guys are free to discuss anything SW-related or story-related. I don't mind.

“Correct you were, Qui-Gon” Yoda said.
“His cells do contain a high concentration of midi-chlorians.” Mace Windu stated.
“The Force is strong with him.” Ki-Adi said in agreement.
Qui-gon had a slight smile on his face. “He will be trained, then?”
“No, he will not be trained” Mace said, a little bit shocked that Qui-gon would assume that.
“No?” Qui-gon asked, disappointed.
“He is too old” Mace replied, which was in fact true. Obi-Wan smirked. He wouldn’t have to be cast aside for this child after all. But another thought occurred to him: what would happen with the two of us?
But Qui-Gon wasn’t deterred. “He is the chosen one. You must see it.”
Yoda shook his head slightly. “Clouded, this boy’s future is.”
Qui-gon stepped forward and placed his hands on Anakin’s shoulders. “I will train him then.”
The smirk at that moment disappeared from Obi-Wan’s face as Qui-gon continued. “I take Anakin as my Padawan learner.”
Yoda and all the other Jedi’s eyes widened. “An apprentice you have, Qui-gon; impossible to take on a second.”
Mace nodded in agreement. “The Code forbids it.”
“Obi-Wan is ready” Qui-gon said.
Obi-Wan stepped forward a little. “I am ready to face the trials.”
“Our own council we will keep on who is ready.” Yoda replied.

RE: My Front Porch Looking In (Prequel rewrite.) UPDATED JULY 15, 2008-The Council's Opinion on Anak
|
“He is headstrong, and he has much to learn about the living Force but he is capable. There is little more he will learn from me.” Qui-gon said; which also happened to be true. Obi-Wan was pretty stubborn.
“Now is not the time for this. The Senate is voting for a new Supreme Chancellor and Queen Amidala is returning home, which will put pressure on the Federation and could widen the confrontation.” Mace replied.
“And it could also draw out the Queen’s attacker” Ki-Adi stated.
“Go with the Queen to Naboo and discover the identity of this dark warrior. This could be the clue we need to unravel the mystery of the Sith.” Mace said.
Yoda nodded. “Young Skywalker’s fate will be decided later. May the Force be with you.”
Qui-Gon, Anakin and Obi-Wan bow and leave the Council chambers. I, by this time, had gotten up and paced around, not only because I was nervous but also because of Siri. She stayed sitting on the bench when the Jedi and Anakin came out.
Qui-gon was obviously upset when he opened his mouth. “We’re going back to Naboo with the Queen. You and Anakin will accompany us.”
He walked off, leaving myself, Anakin, Obi-Wan and Siri alone.
“Wow, I’ve never seen him that upset in a while.” Siri said surprised.
Obi-Wan looked at me. “He’s just…disappointed.”

A\N: Yes and as you'll see later, he's thinking about more than just Anakin's future.
Anakin moved beside me and out of habit, I put my arms around him protectively.
Qui-gon came back. “Come on you three, we need to be at the platform before the Queen arrives.”
Obi-Wan, Anakin and I started to walk off. “Bye Kenobi.” Siri said with a slight smirk on her face. Obi-Wan rolled his eyes and continued on without saying anything to her.
We made our way to the landing platform, the wind blowing somewhat hard. I was used to a lot higher winds on Tattoine so it didn’t’ bother me. Qui-gon and Obi-Wan walked around talking, waiting for the Queen to appear.
“It’s not disrespect Master it’s the truth.” Obi-Wan said, still defending his position.
“From your point of view.” Qui-Gon replied, repeating a very questionable Jedi teaching.
But Obi-Wan knew…something inside him told him, “The boy is dangerous. They all sense it, why can’t you?” He said out loud, saying what was in his mind to Qui-gon.
Qui-gon shook his head. “His fate is uncertain, not dangerous. The council will decide Anakin’s fate when we get back. That should be enough for you; now get on board.”
Obi-Wan shut his mouth; being reprimanded by his master was something he didn’t enjoy. He nodded slightly and turned to walk onto the ship. We locked eyes then he moved on. I heard everything he had said and I didn’t agree. Of course, Anakin was my brother so I’d naturally defend him, but coming from Obi-Wan; a man who we barely knew…someone I was slowly falling in love with, was condemning qui-gon for wanting a better life for Anakin. It made me slightly angry, but only slightly. I don’t know why that, deep down in my heart, I knew Kenobi was right in his fears. Maybe it was a sense of foreboding. Maybe it was my own paranoia. Whatever it was, it would unfortunately prove true years later.
A\N: Now if you've seen Ep. 3, you should definitely figure out where this is headed!

thank you! and I will add you to the list.
Anyway, back to everybody else: the Queen finally arrived and we were all able to get on board the ship. Several minutes later, we were above the planet of Coruscant and pointed towards Naboo. Ric Olie engaged hyperspace and Anakin and I watched in the cockpit as the stars flew by as we went into hyperspace.
“And that one?” Anakin asked of Ric Olie.
“The forward stabilizer” he replied.
Anakin pointed to another lever. “And those two control the pitch?”
Ric Olie smiled in amusement. “You catch on pretty quick.”
Obi-Wan and Qui-gon were meeting with the Queen and her guards in the back of the ship.
“The moment we land the Federation will arrest you, and force you to sign the treaty” Her trusted head of security, Captain Panaka said.
Qui-Gon nodded in agreement. “I agree. I’m not sure what you wish to accomplish by this.”
Queen Amidala kept her stiff countenance. “We will take back what’s ours.”
Captain Panaka couldn’t’ believe his Queen’s words. “There are only twelve of us, Your Highness. We have no army.”
“I can only protect you, Your Highness. I can’t fight a war for you.” Qui-Gon said, something that was in fact true.
The Queen was silent for a minute. “Jar Jar Binks?”
Jar Jar was behind Qui-gon. “Mesa, Your Highness?!”
“Yes…I need your help.”
