" Hey Anakin, are you coming?" Romy asked, as Anakin came out of his quarters.
" Um... Hey, guys. I have something to do first, but I will meet you guys in the hanger bay." Anakin looked at the group that was standing in front of him.
" Let me guess, you are going to see that girl, who is in the medical center." Rebekka said, putting her arm through Romy.
" Yes, I am going there. Her name is Nessie and she is awake now. Am going to see if she wants me to bring her something back." Anakin said, as they began to walk down the hallway to the turbo-lifts.
" Really? So, I wonder what is going to happen to her now?" Tracie said, as they stopped by the doors of the turbo-lift and waited for the lift to come to their level.
" Am not sure but she told me that she came here for a new Master." Anakin said, as the lift stopped and the doors opened up.
" Really? I wonder who will be her Master? I heard that there are seven knights that are in line for Master." Tracie said, as they got onto the lift.
Anakin hit the button that the medical center was on, while Romy hit the button for the hanger bay, which was on the level below the medical center of the Temple.
" Anakin, when are we going out to dinner?" Tracie asked Anakin, just before the lift stopped on the medical center's level of the Temple. "
Um, we can go out tonight. How does that sound to you?" Anakin smiled at her, before getting off the lift.
" Ok. We can talk about it over breakfast." Tracie said, as the doors began to close.
Anakin nodded, before turning away from the turbo-lifts and headed for the medical center.
" Well, good morning, Anakin. Padawan Nessie is still asleep." The Padawan Healer said ,as she looked up from the data pad, as Anakin came into the room.
" Ok. I just wanted to see if she wanted something for breakfast. My friends and I are going out for something to eat this morning." Anakin said, coming up to the desk. " I see. Ok, but if she is asleep, please don't wake her up." The girl said.
" Ok, I won’t wake her up." Anakin turned away from the desk and headed for the room that Nessie was in.
" Anakin, is that you?" Nessie asked, as she heard the door slide open.
" Morning, Nessie. I stopped by to see if you wanted me to get you something to eat. Am leaving the Temple, with a few friends and we are going to get something to eat." Anakin came up to the bed and took a hold of Nessie's hand and held it.
" Am fine. Thanks. Master Rumrunner is getting me something. Maybe, we can get something for lunch." Nessie said, as she could feel that Anakin some feelings for her.
" Anakin, um . . . kiss me. I know you want to, and I want you to do it." Nessie watched his emotions shine in his eyes.
Anakin lowered his head towards Nessie's and very softly laid his lips on Nessie's lips and passionately kissed her.
" Excuse me, Padawan Skywalker, but I don't think that is a very good thing to be doing." Master Rumrunner cleared her throat, as she came into the room with Nessie's breakfast.
" Um, sorry. Well, I was just leaving. I will be here for you at lunch time." Anakin said, standing back up and headed for the door.
" Ok. See you then." Nessie said, as she smiled at Anakin, before he walked out of the room.
Anakin left the medical center and headed down to the hanger bay, where his friends were waiting for him in the speeder. Walking across the room, he got into the speeder and sat down in the back seat with Tracie.
" So, how is the girl, um, I mean, Nessie doing?" Romy asked, as he started up the speeder.
" She is doing better. Master Rumrunner was giving her breakfast, as I was leaving." Anakin said, as Romy brought their speeder into morning traffic.
" That is great to hear that she is doing good. I wonder when we get to meet her." Rebekka asked, as Romy lowered the speeder down to ground level.
" You guys might be able to see her either tonight or tomorrow morning." Anakin said, as Romy slowed the speeder down, before stopping in front of Dex's Diner.
They all got out of the speeder and made their way to the diner. Romy opened the door and stepped aside, so that way, both Rebekka and Tracie could go into the building, before him and Anakin. They found a booth and sat down and began looking at the menus.
< " Anakin Skywalker, where have you been?" The voice of the one person that Anakin didn't want to see.
" Um... Kymy. Hey. I have been busy." Anakin said looking at Kymy.
" I see. Well, you could have called me. So, what are you doing later today?" Kymy batted her eyes at him, as she began running her fingers through his hair.
" I have to do some research for a class, so I can't do anything this afternoon. I have plans for the evening, before going to bed early tonight." Anakin said, as a couple of Kymy's friends motioned for her to come with them.
" Um...ok. Just call me, when you are looking for a long and wild night." Kymy said leaning down and kissing Anakin, before turning away from the Jedi and following her friends out of the Diner.
" What was that all about Anakin?" Tracie turned to look at Anakin.
" Nothing. Morning, Hermione." Anakin said, as their waitress came up to the table.
" Morning, Anakin, Romy, Rebekka and Tracie. So, you want me to get the regular for you guys?" Hermione asked ,as she looked at each one of the Padawans.
" Yes, please." the group said together.
" Ok. Coming up." Hermione just laughed and shook her head, before turning away from the table and went to get the Jedi their orders.
A few blocks away, Nessie was up and walking around the medical center of the Temple.
" It is so good to see you up, Nessie. How are you doing this morning?" Obi-Wan asked, as he came into the room.
" Good morning, Master Obi-Wan. Thank you. Am feeling much better. Anakin isn't here. He said something about going to get something to eat, with a few friends of his." Nessie smiled at the older man, as she looked around the room.
" Oh. Well, I just thought I would find him here, since I had to come here for two weeks to get him." Obi-Wan looked at the girl in shock, because she read his thoughts.
" Ok. Yes, I can read minds or thoughts. Well, I was heading back to my room, so I can sit down." Nessie said, as she started walking towards the room.
" Well, I guess I will have breakfast by myself. Hope you have a great day and may the Force Be With You." Obi-Wan bowed his head, before heading out of the room.
Nessie came into the room, climbed back into the bed and turned on the holo-net. She began to channel surf to see what was on, and it was here, that someone in the news caught her attention.
" Great, Amidala is having issues about something that she doesn't like. One of these days she will piss off the wrong people and they will come after her." Nessie said to herself.
Somewhere else in the Temple......
" You will get to meet your new Padawan in a couple of days. From what I understand, she is still in the medical center, but will be moved to the dorms today. I hope that your mission is successful, Master Lucas." Master Windu said to the man standing in front of him.
" Ok. I can't wait to meet her. I hope this time, they will be willing to talk and come up with a treaty." Master Lucas said, before walking up the ramp of his ship.
" Ok. May The Force Be With You, Lucas." Windu said, as he watched his good friend head up the ramp.
" And you to my old friend." Lucas said, as he turned to see his friend, before entering the ship.
Windu turned and headed for his ship, so he could head for his mission that he had to do and would be gone for the rest of the week.
" Why can't his brother be more like him? Obi-Wan is getting more like his late Master." Windu said to himself, as he sat down in the cockpit of his ship.
Later in the afternoon, Anakin was almost running down the hallway, as he was hurrying to meet up with Nessie for lunch.
" Hey, Anakin." Tracie said, as he rushed past her.
" Oh, hey, Tracie." He said, as she came up next to him.
,p> " What are you doing for lunch?" Tracie asked, as they stopped by a turbo-lift.
" I have plans for lunch, sorry. We are still on for dinner tonight. I made a promise to Nessie that I would have lunch with her. If she leaves the medical center, I will show her where she can stay, until she meets up with her new Master." Anakin said, as the door open and two female Padawans stepped out of the lift.
" Hey, Anakin. " the two girls said together in a seductive way.
" Hey, Ladies." Anakin smiled back at them.
" Yes, we are still on for tonight. See you around five then." Tracie said, just before Anakin stepped onto the lift.
" Ok. See you at five." Anakin said, just before the doors closed.
" Hey. Sorry, am late. I was in the middle of a research project." Anakin came into the room, all out of breath, ten minutes later.
" It's ok. I just woke up and guess what? I can leave here. So, after lunch, I was wondering if you could take me to the dorms." Nessie said, as she got out of the chair that she was sitting in, as Anakin came up to her.
Anakin stood in front of Nessie and took a hold of her hands. He looked into her eyes, just before he leaned his head down and began to kissing her.
Nessie wrapped her arms around Anakin's neck, as she felt his arms go around her waist, pulling her closer to him.
" Um... Anakin, you think we should go and get lunch?" Nessie pulled back a little bit to get her breath.
" Oh. Yeah, sure, lunch. Please follow me." Anakin let her go, before taking a hold of her hand and led her out of the room.
Thirty minutes later, Anakin pulled up to a small building, before they walked into the room. Going to a small table, both Padawans had a great time together, before they had to go back to the Temple.
" Ok, here we are. This is the place where we stay at, when we can't go on a mission with our Masters. This is because it is not safe for us or the people don't want someone inexperienced, to do a peace treaty." Anakin said, as they walked into the dorm room and saw six beds.
" Ok. Then, I guess I should pick out a bed." Nessie looked around the room.
" Well, they are taken, but this one, is next to mine, I will be staying here, for the rest of the week. Master Obi-Wan had a mission to go on." Anakin moved to one of the beds and sat down on it.
" Ok. Um, is there a place I can go to, so I can work out?" Nessie asked, as she saw that on the bed, was clean clothes.
" Sure. I can show you where the gym is at. I see that the dorm Mistress brought you some clothes." Anakin also saw the clothes laying on the bed.
They left the room and Anakin led them down the hallway to the lift. Lucky for them, it just got there and whoever was on there, was gone. Stepping onto the lift, Anakin pushed the button that the floor level that the gym is on.
" It is also on this level, that you can find the room of a Thousand Fountains. It is a great place to go to meditate. The sound of water falling is very relaxing. Well, here we are." Anakin said, as the lift stopped and the doors opened up.
" Ok. That sounds like a great place to go to, when I finish with my workout." Nessie said, as they got off the lift.
They walked down the hallway, until they came to the doors of the gym. Anakin looked through the small window and saw that both Tracie and Rebekka was in the room.
" Well, I better go now. I had a great time and I will see you later, ok?" Anakin moved away from the doors, so that way, the two girls inside can't see him.
" Um ... are you hiding from someone?" Nessie watched Anakin move away from the door.
" Not really. Well, I better get going. I have to have an outline and a rough draft of a project that am doing. If you need anything, here is my com-link number. I will be in the archives, if you need me." Anakin handed Nessie a com-link, with his number in it.
" Ok. I will see later then. Thank you for lunch and I too had a great time. Well, see you later then." Nessie turned away from Anakin and started for the gym.
Anakin nodded, before turning away and headed back to the lifts. Getting onto the lift, he headed for the archives.
Eight hours later, Anakin came into the dorm room with Romy, Rebekka and Tracie.
" Man, Anakin. I can't believe that you told Kymy off like that. Well, hello there." Romy stopped in his tracks, when he saw Nessie sitting in her bed, reading a data pad.
" Guys, this is Nessie. Nessie ,these are my friends: Tracie, Rebekka and this guy was with me, when I helped you the night you were found in that alleyway." Anakin introduced the two girls.
" Am Romy. All I did was call for the Healers. It was Anakin, who was beside you the whole time." Romy said, as he came over to Nessie and shook her hand.
" That's not completely true, Romy. You did keep Kymy away from me, while we waited for the Healers to come." Anakin smiled at Romy.
Nessie sat there and watched the look Anakin and Romy gave each other. She also noticed how the two girls hung on to both Anakin and Romy.
" Well, thank you to the both of you. It's nice to meet you both, Rebekka and Tracie." Nessie said, as an elderly lady came into the room.
" Good, the rest of you are here. Lights out in five minutes." the lady said, as she looked at the small group of Padawans.
The Padawans smiled at the lady, before grabbing their night clothes and going to the refresher and got ready for bed. They got back into the room and climbed into their beds.
" Good night, Nessie." Anakin said ,as he started to drifting off to sleep.
" Good night, Anakin." Nessie said, as she started drifting off to sleep.
It was a somewhat peaceful sleep, until Nessie began to have a very strange dream. She realized that the dream wasn't hers, but that of Anakin's nightmare.
