A Glimpse Into Tomorrow AU

Title: A Glimpse Into Tomorrow AU
Summary: This is a different version of a fic I started called The First Naboo Journey. Padme meets Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn before the events of TPM, and Obi-Wan has a dark vision of her future which she chooses not to believe.
Timeline: Pre TPM/AOTC


*************

Obi-Wan Kenobi sighed as Qui-Gon Jinn, his Jedi Master, spoke quietly with the people from Naboo within yet another boring, dry Senate conference party the Jedi were invited to by the Chancellor. For once, Obi-Wan could only hope not to be invited one day.

Obi-Wan watched the different people at the party until his eyes sat on the beautiful painted face of Padme Amidala, the new young Queen of Naboo. Her dark eyes seemed to stare right through his master. She had to be one of the most lovely young girl's he had ever seen in his life. She would only be more beautiful if she didn't wear that makeup on her face. It wasn't that Obi-Wan was really attracted to the girl. After all, she was only a 'girl'. Age of 14 to be exact. Far to young for him to carry more than a passing interest in. Nothing more.

Dispite everything though, he couldn't help but stare at her. Finally, she turned and saw his intense gaze on her. When he continued to stare, she blushed furiously, and turned her attention back to Qui-Gon forcefully.

Obi-Wan found himself walking toward them through the thick crowd. A vision flashed in his sight. A beautiful woman running. A child then screaming. Then a deep, dark hissing sound of a breath intake like he had never hered before in his life. It was so loud in his mind as he looked at this girl that it frightened him.

"Obi-Wan, so good for you to join us," Qui-Gon began, "Your highness, this is my padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi."

Padme Amidala held out her hand to the Jedi padawan. "Pleased to meet you Obi-Wan Kenobi."

"You can't marry him!" Obi-Wan cried, as the thick breathing sound grew more intense in his mind, as he stared down at the young face of the now equally frightened Queen.

"What?" Padme cried, staring at Qui-Gon, not understanding, then back to Obi-Wan. He wouldn't let go of her hand. "Sabe!" Padme cried.

"You can't marry him, he'll kill you!" Obi-Wan managed to cry out once more, before a young handmaiden came out of no where and leveled the Jedi with the back of her blaster.

"Padawan!" Qui-Gon cried.

That was the last thing Obi-Wan hered before the darkness swollowed him into a dreamless slumber.

Looks good.

 

Thanks SWfan!


Likely I'll have more up today!

 

I should have a post up tomorrow. I'm more than a little tired to write anymore today.

 

looks pretty good - though I usually avoid prequel stories.

 

This story will flow a little better than my last prequel one, and won't bounce around quite as often as A Walk In The Clouds did. This one really is though a re-write of my First Naboo Journey story, and will really only follow that. I've been meaning to get this going for awhile, but my Discovery story always got in the way.

 

I'm bored, so here's the next one!

"Obi-Wan, can you hear me?," Qui-Gon Jinn asked softly, as his apprentice layed out on top of the small sofa in the far room off of the main conference hall.

"Master?," Obi-Wan asked painfully, as his head throbed, "What happened?"

"You attacked the Queen of Naboo in the middle of the party, padawan." Qui-Gon told his student. "You were ranting that she couldn't marry someone, and that her future husband would kill her."

Obi-Wan stared up at his master in horror, "Oh no, I didn't?"

"You did." Qui-Gon said. "Oh you did."

"Is the Queen alright?," Obi-Wan asked, remembering it all now, "I frightened her!"

"You frightened more than the young Queen Padawan." Qui-Gon noted in his gentle tone of speaking, " Are you alright now?"

"Yes, I guess so," Obi-Wan said, touching his head again.

"The handmaiden did that," Qui-Gon told him, "And she cleaned the floor with you good."

"You sound to pleased saying that Master."

"You deserved that padawan," Qui-Gon said, "You allowed a mindless thought to take control of you. You know better than that."

"I suppose I do Master," Obi-Wan said "But you don't know what it was like. It was so real, and I saw her Master. She was afraid of him."

"Play it no mind padawan."

"But Master, It was a vision, not just a random thought."

"It was of the future padawan," Qui-Gon argued, "One that isn't set as of yet."

"You saw it too, didn't you?"

"I said drop it padawan." Qui-Gon said sharply, cutting Obi-Wan off. "Now I will not speak of this again. Understood?"

"Yes Master." Obi-Wan said.

Good post.

 

Thanks SWfan! I should have a new post up tonight!

 

Hey! I'm a newcomer here, ready and willing to read more. Will you post again soon? Don't make me tear up. I'll do it.

Qui-Gon! Why be an ass?

 

******************

Obi-Wan got up from the small sofa after a long rest, unnerved by what he had done to the young Queen. He had never gotten so easily upset before, or ever had such an emotional outburst in public of all things. "Master?," Obi-Wan called, as he sensed a being coming into the room again. It wasn't Qui-Gon, but the young Queen herself. He was certain it was her. She no longer wore the paint on her face though, and was as lovely as he thought she was. "You're not my Master," said Obi-Wan with a calm smile for the girl. It would do good to prove he really wasn't the Jedi Mad Man she had seen before.

"Hello," she said, "I'm not Master Jinn, no." She continued, "My name is Padme Naberrie."

"Oh, your not the Queen then?," Obi-Wan asked, confused, " You look so much like her."

"No, I'm Queen Amidala alright," Padme said, "But Amidala is just the name I use for the sake of office, and my privacy." said Padme.

"Oh," Obi-Wan smiled, as the lovely girl came closer. Give it up, Ben. She's just no more than a kid. Obi-Wan frowned at the voice in his head. It 'was' right.

"Are you alright though, padawan Kenobi?," she asked concerned, as she touched his forehead. He took her hand in his, and placed it to the bacl of his head.

"Actually, she hit me here," he said, "But I'm fine though, thank you," Obi-Wan said, letting go of her hand.

The girl blushed again, and stood up fully, "I feel as if we know eachother, padawan," Padme said, "Is that strange of me?," she asked.

"Not really," Obi-Wan said in his kind voice, "We do now know eachother."

"I mean even before that," she said, "It's like we met before even that."

"I felt it too," Obi-Wan told her, not really wanting to say to much. He sensed a powerful force bond with this young girl instantly at the sight of her. But it wasn't like that of a Jedi meeting the mate he was supposed to eventually marry. It was different somehow. Like their bond went even deeper than that, and it was born from something unseen. Something that had yet not happened.

"What does it mean?," she asked curiously, "Do I love you?"

Obi-Wan looked at her at that comment. It had suprised him. Was she force sensitive? Abit, he suspected. Enough to feel the connection more strongly than many would. "I wouldn't know about love, Milady, but I think we're ment to be friends."

"Then friends we shall be," Padme said, taking his hand in hers, and kissing it, as it was custom for her people.

Obi-Wan thought twice of doing the same, but then saw no harm in it. Obi-Wan kissed her hand and smiled warmly.

The bond that was born from a single glance between them danced with life, keeping it's sercrets of what was yet to come for the not so distant future.

Anakin Skywalker raised his ten year old head in the middle of the night within the darkness of his bed chamber, as he hered a hissing sound in the dark cold air of his room. It was a long and deadly sound. As if the Boogy Man had been given a life of all his own, and was coming for him. In the dream there had been a girl. She had long brown hair, and deep brown eyes that stood out from her white colored skin. Her hair glowed as if she had been an angel he hered those deep space pilots talk about in his first few years of life on Tatooine.

Anakin closed his bright blue eyes, and could see the man again. If he ever had a brother in his young life, Anakin Skywalker would swear that the man in his dream was it. Or even his father. His eyes wore a kindness unmatched by any man, and a deep affection all for him. Finally, he had the brother, and father, he had always wanted. Anakin opened his eyes again in the darkness. After that though, was where the dream changed.

The man no longer carried the kindness or affection. He bore a deep fear, and even hate, for him. Anakin was only just a little boy, but he sensed that hate as if the man was right here in his bed chamber with him. fear, anger, hate...
The feelings it all caused made his blood run cold. He would call for his mother, but when he mentioned his bad dreams, she always bore this haunted look. That her little boy...Her little serious son...was crazy, and she couldn't help him. It made her feel weak in knowing that. And tired.

Anakin Skywalker didn't want to make his mother feel those things. So, bravely, he swollowed his fear, and closed his eyes again.

When the sleep took him this time, he dreamed of flying in space, kissing the girl, and the son that would one day follow his destiny...

Methinks I like this story a lot, so you should post soon.

 

Thanks!

"You like him don't you?," asked Sabe, as Padme entered her suite within the Imperial Palace while she visited Coruscant.

"What are you talking about?," Padme asked, turning away in hopes of hiding the blush that again stuck to her cheeks. "I only went to see if you killed him," Padme said with a grin.

"Awe, come on Padme Naberrie Amidala, you like that guy!"

Padme scowled at Sabe, "I can't like him Sabe, he's a Jedi Padawan."

"So what?" Sabe teased.

"He's way too old for me."

Sabe frowned, "Yeah, I see your point there."

"So drop the Jedi thing, huh?," asked Padme, "I was talking to him, and he really is very nice. He doesn't deserved to be scared off the planet by a pushy handmaiden from Naboo and her Queen."

"Oh, pushy now am I?," Sabe said laughing.

"Really though, I did like him I guess, and he liked me," said Padme, "But It wasn't anything funny."

"Oh no, we wouldn't want funny," Sabe said, her dark eyes dancing.

"Sabe, your Impossible, and a pervert sometimes," Padme shot back, laughing at seeing Sabe frown for a change.

"Always happy to serve, your highness," Sabe grinned.

"Really though, he was abit strange I guess," said Padme, "He never did say why he said my future husband is going to want to kill me."

"Why didn't you just ask him why he said that?" Sabe asked, "The Jedi usually are upfront with people."

"I..." Padme began "I guess I was afraid of what his answer might be."

"Well Padme, whatever it ment," said Sabe, "You're only 14 years old right now Padme," Sabe reminded her, "You'll have all the time in the galaxy yet to find out."

"You're right," Padme laughed, "It isn't like I'm going to meet my future husband tomorrow."

More soon!

 

Good posts.

"Obi-Wan, we have been asked to escort the Queen, and her party back to Naboo," Qui-Gon Jinn told his padawan, has he joined the young man in his suite within the Jedi Temple. Qui-Gons' suite was directly beside his.

"Oh no, not her again," Obi-Wan groaned softly, getting up to his feet from the sofa.

"I thought you liked the girl Obi-Wan," Qui-Gon teased.

"Not that much to see her half way across the stars, Master," Obi-Wan said in a slight bitter tone.

"The Naboo need our help, and we are going padawan," Qui-Gon said firmly, making his padawan scowl at him.

"Help with what, Master?," Obi-Wan asked, placing on his thick brown robe over his clothes again, "Have they forgotten how to fly their ship?," Obi-Wan asked sarcastically.

"Obi-Wan, enough!," Qui-Gon said, "Now get ready."

Obi-Wan scowled again, "But you know how I hate space travel Master."

"Yes," Qui-Gon said "But you always do it anyway."

"Don't remind me." Obi-Wan spat.

Qui-Gon chuckled, "Why are you so agains't going to Naboo?"

Obi-Wan thought seriously for a moment at that, "I just have a bad feeling about that place Master. I really don't think we should go."

"We must go, padawan," Qui-Gon said, "I already have given the council my word."

After a long silence Obi-Wan spoke again, "Yes, my Master."

There was no stoping the future events now. They were going to Naboo with the Queen, and her people, and everything was going to fall in place after that, as it did in his vision. They were going to meet the boy of the suns. Obi-wan could only hope that the last thing could be stoped. That his Master wasn't going to die come tomorrow's light of day.

"Why are you so nervous, padawan Kenobi?," asked Padme Amidala, sitting beside the Jedi student as her ship started up for take off.

"Uh, I'm not nervous, Milady," Obi-Wan said, "I just have much on my mind." Obi-Wan moved across the bench in the lounge to place more distance between them. There would be no good in encouraging anything romantic between them. Her comment of before had startled him more than he was willing to admit. He hadn't much experience with women in the romantic sense, and didn't want to hurt this girl's feelings.

"Have you ever been to my world before, padawan?," she asked softly. Her dark eyes staring through him it seemed.

"No." He said, looking away from her, "I hear it is nice though."

"It is." Padme said. "I really miss it sometimes."

"You're not home much, your highness?," Obi-Wan asked.

"No, and yes." she said, "As Queen I rarely see my family, and there right on Naboo."

"The only family I know is the Jedi." Obi-Wan said. "And they're always with me."

The ship suddenly rocked. They were in deep space now, so that wasn't good.

"What is it?" Obi-Wan said, rising fast to his feet, hitting the comm on his wrist.

Padme watched him with wide eyes, as the ship rocked again, knocking her to the floor with a cry.

//We're being attacked, and the ship is damaged. We'll have to make an emergency landing. Keep the Queen safe.// Qui-Gon's voice said.

"Yes Master." Obi-Wan replied, then moving to help Padme off of the floor. "We'll get you to your handmaidens Milady." He told her, then helping her move through the shaking ship as it rocked back and forth.

"Are you sure it's safe to move, padawan Kenobi?," she said, as the harsh sounds of battle surrounded them.

"No." He replied. "But lets do it anyway."

UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well, yet another story I'll have to keep an eye on. I thought the bit with Ani seeing the future and thinking of it as a bad dream was an especially nice touch.

 

Good post.

Obi-Wan Kenobi got the young Queen to her handmaidens on the ship, then joined his Jedi Master in the cockpit. "Seen who is doing this yet?," Obi-Wan shouted to Qui-Gon Jinn across the blaze of sounds in the ship.

"It's a ship with Coruscant markings. We're almost out of its way." Panaka said beside the pilot Ric Olie.

"I thought I told you to remain with the Queen Amidala?," shouted Qui-Gon over the loud sounds of battle.

"Queen Amidala has her handmaidens for protection, Master!," shouted Obi-Wan back.

"When I give you an order, padawan, I expect you to obey it!," snapped Qui-Gon right back.

"Will you two just shut up already?," Ric Olie said bitterly, "Your fighting will get her highness killed!"

Both Jedi instantly fell silent, and glared at eachother.

"We're coming up on Tatooine!," cried Panaka over the sounds, "We could land there and refuel."

"Tatooine?," Obi-Wan questioned.

"It's remote enough, Padawan," Qui-Gon Jinn said, "We should all be safe there," He told Obi-Wan," Don't worry."

"I hope you're right, Master!," Obi-Wan said, "I hope you're right."
