Qui-Gon's Discovery (AU TPM Humor) **COMPLETE 6-28-02 TAGGED

Qui-Gon?s Discovery (an AU to TPM)

Summary: What if a key scene in The Phantom Menace had turned out just a little differently? (No, not that scene! Just read it )

Disclaimer: George Lucas is all-powerful.

 

Excitement may have been unbecoming for a Jedi, but Qui-Gon could not quite quell the rush he felt. He had done it, something no other Jedi had ever done or ever would do. He had found the Chosen One.

Although Qui-Gon was positive that the young slave boy was the one of prophecy, he wanted to observe him a bit longer before he acted. Qui-Gon was going to make sure that his discovery went perfectly.

Noticing Shmi Skywalker standing by her self on the balcony above him, Qui-Gon climbed the stairs up to her. What better way to confirm the data than by talking to the mother of the Chosen One?

?You have an incredible son, Ms. Skywalker. He is truly a gift of the Force,? Qui-Gon prompted, hoping to get the response he so desired.

?Yes, Anakin really is special. He knows nothing of greed, or anger, or hate, he just gives and gives, never thinking of himself. I am very proud of my son,? Shmi stated, never taking her eyes off of the boy below her. Anakin was working to prepare his pod racer for the upcoming BoontaEve race.

?His father must be proud of him too, huh?? Qui-Gon prompted yet again, this time a little more pointedly.

?Actually, Anakin has no father. I carried him, I gave birth to him, and I raised him. I don?t know how it happened but it did,? Shmi said as she finally lifted her eyes off the boy below her to look at the Jedi Master.

Qui-Gon had to keep himself from leaping into the air and clicking his heels. This boy truly was the Chosen One. He would finally win his bet with Mace. The other Master insisted that the prophecy was just a bunch of poodoo, and Qui-Gon had made it his life?s mission to prove Mace wrong.

?Then your son truly is a gift of the Force,? the Master said, once he had his emotions back under control. ?You are truly a lucky woman,? with that Qui-Gon descended the stairs and approached the boy to offer him a power source he had scrounged up.

LATER THAT NIGHT

?So you see, Master Qui-Gon, I?m the only human that can race pods. No other human has ever even tried,? Anakin said as he tried not to squirm. Qui-Gon was spreading bacta over the numerous cuts the boy had accumulated working on his pod.

?You must have Jedi reflexes than Anakin. But for now, you should get some rest. Even Jedi need their sleep, and you have a big race in front of you tomorrow,? Qui-Gon replied as he lifted Anakin off the stone ledge they were perched on.

?Good night Master Qui-Gon!? Anakin called as he ran back into the house.

Barely waiting until Anakin had cleared the doorway, Qui-Gon whipped out his comm. link. Now he could finally prove beyond a doubt that Anakin was the Chosen One and that smug Master Windu would have to pay up.

?Obi-Wan,? Qui-Gon called out into the comm. link, ?I need you to do a midichlorian count on this blood sample I am sending you.?

?Master? Are you and Master Windu still doing the ?who has the largest midichlorian count? thing? Really Master, most initiates grow out of that phase by their 16th year,? Obi-Wan commented dryly as he uploaded the sample.

?Obi-Wan Kenobi, how nice of you to volunteer to help Master Yoda with his famous ?sludge soup cook off? when we return to the temple. In the meantime, how about checking the sample for me,? Qui-Gon responded.

It was a much more sullen voice that responded ?Yes Master? from the comm. link in Qui-Gon?s hand.

Both parties were silent as the blood analyzer checked the results. Qui-Gon could barely control his impatience, but years as a Jedi Master allowed him to at least keep his apparent agitation somewhat in check.

?Master!? came the voice of his apprentice, ?this is simply incredible!?

?A massive midichlorian count?? Qui-Gon asked when no more information was forthcoming. ?Higher even than Master Yoda?s?? Qui-Gon continued as his excitement crescendoed.

?Actually Master, I have never seen a count like this! It is simply amazing! I have never seen a life form with a midichlorian count of absolutely zero before. This is one heck of a discovery Master!? Obi-Wan c

 

Not even ONE comment Sheesh, if its that bad, please tell me and I'll remove it

 

HA! That was great!

I have this image of Qui-Gon forcing himself not to jump up and down and click his heels. The idea that Mace and Qui-Gon had a bet over the prophesy is hilarious. And Anakin's count was zero...hehe. It's priceless.

Don't you dare think about removing this!

 

Really funny. Loved the zero midchlorian count. LOL...

 

UP!

 

LOL Anakin has ZERO midi-chlorians!

And poor Qui-Gon...

 

Given my predeliction for seeing Qui in less than favorable light - sometimes - I think this represents perfect poetic justice - especially since I'm also one of very few who think that Anakin, in TPM, was generally annoying.

Good job.

 

That's it! One post????

I was very nice though! I'll just up this so more people can see it!

 

There are people who DIDN'T find that little boy annoying?..."Master Qui-Gon, Sir?" The sniviling little brat, I'd like to...AHEM, well, moving on...

Anyway, this was quite amusing. I'm glad I stumbled across it. And it really is quite fitting. Excellent job!
