Chapter 23

(Two Days Later) “ Come in, Master Yoda.” Vanessa called out, as there was a buzz coming from the door chimes.

“ Vanessa, good it is to see you. It is time for you to see the Council.” Yoda came into the room and gave the girl a smile.

“ Thank you and it is good to see you too, Master. Oh, sure. That sounds good. Please, lead the way.” Vanessa bowed her head to Yoda and then they headed for the Council Chamber.

They stopped at the Turbo-lift for a couple of minutes. When the lift stopped and the doors opened up, standing in the lift was Anakin.

“ Good morning, Young Skywalker.” Master Yoda nodded to Anakin, as he stepped onto the lift with Vanessa following behind him.

“ Morning, Master Yoda. Morning, Vanessa.” Anakin first bowed his head to the Jedi Master, before turning to his wife and giving her a nod.

“ Morning, Anakin.” Vanessa returned Anakin’s nod, just as the doors slid shut and the Turbo-lift began to move upwards.

“ I thought Obi-Wan and Allyson would be here with us, on our way to see the Council.” Anakin looked at the two people, who joined him on the Turbo-lift.

“ Meeting us they will, at the Chamber’s entrance. Something you may remember, when you first came here. Mmm, young Skywalker?” Master Yoda looked up at younger man and gave him a smile.

“ Yes, that does sound very familiar, sir. I also remember that was a very long night too.” Anakin gave a small laugh. as he remembered that day too. T

he lift stopped and the doors opened up. The three people stepped off the lift and begin walking down the hallway It was then, that they saw the couple sitting down on one of the benches, just outside of the Council Chambers.

“ Morning, Master Obi-Wan and Ms. Allyson. So, ready are you to face up to the Council members?” Yoda nodded to the couple that stood up, as he came up to them.

“ Morning, Master Yoda. Yes, sir. I am ready to face them.” Allyson bowed her head to the old Jedi Master.

“ Morning, Master. I too am ready to hear what the Council have decided on, concerning mine and Anakin’s fates, with the Jedi Order.” Obi-Wan also bowed his head and gave him a small smile.

“ Stay you will, until you are called upon.” Yoda looked the two Jedi Knights and the two women that they called themselves, the two men’s wives.

Everyone just nodded their heads, just before Yoda turned from the group and walked down to the double doors. The Temple Guards opened them up and Yoda walked through the doors, before the Guards closed them.

“ Great. So, I wonder how long this is going to be?” Anakin came over to one of the benches and sat down.

“ Not sure. We will stay here, as long as it takes, and we will go into the Chamber, when it is time for us to be called upon.” Obi-Wan sat back down and gave Anakin a warning look.

“ I understand that, but I would like for this to hurry up, so that way, I can get something to eat.” Anakin gave Obi-Wan a small smile, just as his stomach began to growl.

The only thing Obi-Wan did was give Anakin a smile, before he nodded. Then, laying his back, so it was against the wall, he closed his eyes, began to relax and do a little bit of meditation. Anakin took a hold of Vanessa’s hand, before he too laid his head back against the wall and closed his eyes. Then, that he felt Vanessa do the same thing, and they both began to meditate together.

“ They are ready for you now.” one of the guards came up to the two couples and looked down at them.

They all got up and followed the guard. As they came up to the doors, the other guard bowed his head, before opening the doors, so that way, the two Jedi and women came into the room.

“ Jedi Knights Skywalker and Kenobi and Ms. Vanessa and Ms. Allyson. Please step into the middle of the circle.” one of the Jedi Knights that was sitting next to Master Yoda.

The group came further into the room and came into the center of the circle. They looked straight at Master Yoda, and the Jedi Master, who told them to get into the circle.

“ Decided we have, that you two may stay in the Order. As for your wives, we believe that they too can stay here or if it makes you feel better, you may get an apartment. The choice is yours, but if you two do move to an apartment, you guys have to come back here every day to teach a class and to report, to do missions. You have until lunch time to let us know, if you want to stay here or move to apartments.” the dark man sitting next to Yoda, looked at the two couples.

“ Thank you, Masters. Yes, we will do everything that you have asked of us. We will let you all know, what we will do.” Obi-Wan bowed his head to all of the members of the Council.

Anakin and the two girls just bowed their heads, before they left the Council Chambers. They all headed down to dining hall and got their breakfast.

“ So, what do you two plan on doing?” Anakin took a sip of his Caf.

“ I am hoping that Allyson would not mind staying here at the Temple.It would be easier for all of us, if we just stay here.” Obi-Wan looked at everyone that was sitting at the table with him.

“ You know, he is right, Anakin. I too believe it would be easier, if we stay here.” Vanessa looked over to Anakin and watched him nodded his head in agreement.

“ Well then, I guess, we will stay here.” Anakin looked at Vanessa first and then looked at the couple that was sitting across from him and Vanessa.

“ We too agree with the fact that we all should stay here at the Temple. Anakin and I will let the Council members know that we have decided to live here at the Temple.” Obi-Wan also nodded and then he continued his breakfast.

Thirty minutes later, both Anakin and Obi-Wan went to the Council Chambers and told them that they all have decided to stay at the Temple. Both girls were in the gardens, when Obi-Wan and Anakin found them and they lead them to the area of the Temple, where the VIP’s stay at, when they are visiting the Jedi. The apartments have two rooms, kitchen, small dining area and a living area. Once they were moved into the two apartments, they headed out to Dex’s Diner for dinner. Then, they went to a show, before going back to the Temple and heading straight for bed.

Vanessa began having a dream that saw her and Anakin with a couple of children. One, in which, was Force Sensitive, and they all lived a very happy life there at the Temple.

The End
