Let's keep this page up there!

 

AWESOME!

 

UP!

 

Jules, I just read through these three awesome posts and I must say that I completely adore the endings. They fit the mood so perfectly. Yay, your enjoying ItMF! It starts off a bit boring, though soon gets alot better.

Am

 

Nice. I gotta go.. ow... i gotta go to the bathroom... ah hh

 

LOL! Thanks for sharing Ani!

Thanks Am. It's so hard to wind things down at the end of a post. I try not to leave you all hanging.

Micha, thanks! I may not post again until Sunday unless it's tonight. Finals are almost over though!

Tych Sel, GS335thanks for the encouragement!

 

your welcome

 

Nice posts, Jeanne! I liked Vader (I'll call him that to distinguish him from *young* Anakin) and his resolution, the conversation with Obi-Wan was touching and his guilt over Padme very touching. Leia's feelings are completely understandable considering what she has gone through, I just hope that in the end she can accept him. It's cool seeing Han so concerned!

 

Up!

 

This is an interesting story -to say the least.

I like how Vader was able to pull himself from the Dark Side. I hope he won't have to sacrifice himself in order to defeat Palpatine.

One question: when Luke and Anakin were practicing with their lightsabres, were they able to adjust the power settings for training purposes? It just seems horrible unsafe even for Jedi to practice fighting with fully powered lightsabres.

BTW, is Anakin's sabre the same one Obi-Wan later gave to Luke? Maybe when Anakin leaves to return to the past, he and Luke could exchange lightsabres as a gift and rememberance of their meeting?

 

Thank you everyone for being patient. I took a break from studying to write this post. I hope it's coherent because I'm not!

Ani Thanks!
Gimpy Thanks for the suggestion. It's hard to call him Anakin because it's too confusing, yet he's not Vader anymore. Hopefully it's clear in this post.

Thanks Lelila!

TorontoJediMaster Good question. They would have practiced with them on a lower setting. I guess I should have included that. Luke lost Anakin's light saber on Bespin and has built a new one but that's an interesting suggestion. I like it. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for reading. I don't know if I'll have another post up for a while but please be patient. I'm going home tomorrow and my parents only have dial-up. I'll do what I can. Happy holidays!

Part 17--


Anakin and Padme were leaving the dining hall to head back to their quarters. Anakin noticed Padme was distant. He took her hand, ?Padme, what is it, you?ve been distant ever since we left the hangar??

She shook her head, ?I?m just worried about Leia. She was so upset, I just hope she?s alright. I was thinking I should go see if there is anything I can do to help her.? She didn?t know what advice she could offer Leia, but maybe it was maternal instincts, she wanted to help her future daughter.

?I know Padme, I feel that way too. Maybe you should go talk to her.? Anakin suggested. ?I?ll go find Luke and tell him that we are planning to leave soon. There really isn?t more we can do in this time. What we can do is go back to our own time and make things right.? He hoped they could. The first thing he intended to do was go to the council and explain this whole trip.

?Anakin, what are we going to do when we get back? We should go to Coruscant, right?? she asked.

?Yes, I need to speak with the council immediately. We need to inform them of Palpatine.? He thought.

?I will trust what the council feels we should do Anakin, they know best. Could I address them as well, or is it forbidden for a non-jedi to come before them?? she asked.

?Traditionally only the jedi are allowed but if I speak with Master Windu, maybe they will make an exception.? He was surprised she wanted to go before the council, ?Why do you want to speak with them Padme??

?Anakin, I can confirm your story, and since I?m in the senate, I want to ask them about what we are going to do about Palpatine.? She was certain the Jedi would know.

Anakin squeezed her hand ?They will know what to do. But do not be surprised if they enter your mind and don?t let it frighten you. They will search you to confirm the truth. Jedi are used to it but sometimes it will make others uneasy.?

She nodded, ?They can search my mind, I have no secrets to hide.? She squeezed his hand back. ?I?m going to go find Leia. I?ll find you later.?

He leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, ?I?ll see you this evening.?

Padme headed off towards Leia?s quarters while Anakin headed toward the observation deck for his daily meditation. He felt so calm, and sure of himself. It was time to go back and fix everything.

Anakin rounded a corner and stopped in his tracks as he came face to face with his older self. He could see the scarred face and prosthetic limbs but tried not to show his surprise. He felt his other self, formerly Vader, look him over and could feel his regret.

They didn?t speak at first, they didn?t know what to say. Anakin thought <what do I say to myself? I have to talk to him?me though. I can?t just stare at him, he?s not going to go away.>

Vader looked at Anakin, his young self and felt memories of those times rush back to him. <If I had only chosen a different path, I could still be this strong man and would have been a father to my children. A father that they didn?t pity.> Vader broke the silence, ?Anakin, it?s good to see you. It?s been a long time.?

Anakin listened to his voice, it was like his own but a little weak. ?I guess it probably has. I don?t know what to say, this is??

Vader nodded, ?I kno
