My Front Porch Looking In (Star Wars Prequel Re-write)

“Why?” Obi-Wan asked.

“Because, there’s just something about him that makes me uneasy.” I said as I rinsed off my plate. I went back to the table and picked his up and rinsed it off.

“I agree; he meddles too much in Jedi affairs.” Obi-Wan handed Mara to me and I took her back into the bedroom and tucked her into her crib. Obi-Wan finished clearing the table and putting things up then he went into the living room and sat down on the couch.

“Mara’s a pretty sound sleeper. She should be out for a few hours.” I sat beside him, leaning against him. He leaned his head on mine.

“Oh, I meant to tell you; Barriss asked the Council if you could sit in on a meeting. They said you could so you’re going with me in the morning.” He said as I yawned.

“Fascinating…but I’ll have to take Mara part of the way there so I can drop her off with Malee.” I replied sleepily.

“Are you going to enroll her?” Obi-Wan asked.

“No. This is one child we’re keeping.” I said, nearly asleep.

He fell silent and I fell asleep in his arms. A couple of hours later, I was awakened by Mara’s crying. I expected to find myself on the couch, but instead I was in bed wearing a nightgown. I looked at Obi-Wan’s sleeping form lying next to me. From his breathing, I knew he was sleeping fairly soundly so I got up quietly and quickly so I could take care of Mara without letting him lose sleep. I fed her, changed her and held her until she fell asleep. I looked up at the chronometer; it was only 9:30 in the evening and though I almost never went to bed that early, as soon as Mara was asleep, I placed her in her crib and fell asleep beside Obi-Wan. Neither one of us woke up until 7 the next morning.

*wouldn't you know it? I said a week, and I didn't even think about it until today. haha*
 
Mara Jade! I know that name. I just can't remember who she is!!! The frustration of it...

Anyway, nice updates. So by now Petra has... three children? 2 boy and a girl, right? (refresh my memory, what were their names?)

And just a completely random question, what color lightsaber does Petra use? (You've probably mentioned it before, but I'm not a careful reader. :p)

Yes, I wanted at least one Jedi to suspect him.

LOL, their names are Zett, Luke, and Mara. Petra uses a blue lightsaber of course. ;) I don't think I put it in because she rarely uses it anyway.


After leaving Mara with Malee, we headed to the Council chambers. I had to keep stifling yawns because even though I slept most of the night, I still didn’t get enough sleep. “You’ll be sitting in Barriss’ place. She wants you to represent her in this meeting, even though she’ll be there with you.” Obi-Wan said. I just nodded in reply. He stopped and touched my shoulder. “You’ll be okay, Skywalker.” He looked around and quickly kissed me on the cheek. We walked into the council chamber and Obi-Wan left my side as Barriss was standing behind her chair. We were still a bit early as three other masters hadn’t arrived yet. What I didn’t realize is that the other three masters were sitting in via holographic means.

“This meeting has been called because of the chancellor’s request concerning Anakin Skywalker.” Mace Windu said as the Council came to order. This was news to me; of course I hadn’t spoken to Anakin ever since yesterday.

“Master, if I may, what was his request?” Obi-Wan asked.

“The Chancellor requested a place on the Council for Anakin.” Mace replied, looking over at me. I shrugged because I honestly didn’t know anything about it.

“Appoint him, we shall, but the title of a master, he does not deserve.” Yoda said suddenly. Mace looked over at him. Mace nodded his agreement as did all the other Jedi, including Obi-Wan.

“Petra Skywalker, agree do you?” Yoda asked, looking at me. Why me?

“Master Yoda, since I am only a representative on the Council for Master Offee, I don’t believe it’s my place to offer judgment on her behalf.” I replied. “And, besides that, I am not a master.” I didn’t realize it but Barriss looked over at Yoda and smiled.

Yoda chuckled softly. “Yes, yes, a point you have, but agree with our decision, do you?”

I felt all the eyes of the Council on me. “Even though I love Anakin and I think that he is a very talented Jedi, I…I don’t think he would be worthy of the title of master.” I mean it was true. I loved Anakin to death but the idea of him being a master didn’t set well with me; and I don’t really know why.

Don't worry Petra, it's only because he's slowly going insane.... ;)

Good update :D
 
I think so; I think you can post comments once I get it up on the site. I will probably post these 5 parts as chapters. THe sequel won't be up for a while because it's barely half-way finished. Heck I don't know if it's even half-way done. School has been draining my inspiration for writing lately. :eek:
 
Ok, so part 5 (all of it) is up on FF.net; I'm still working on getting my other parts uploaded; because it's been forever since I've used FF.net and don't remember how to add chapters to the thing. Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually! :)
 
It requires me to log in! :eek:

Is that normal? Because I would really prefer not to open yet another online account of some sort or other. Still, if it is the only way, I'll do it. But if there's a way of reading without loggin in, I'd be really glad to know.

(of course, this may be because I went to the wrong link... Did I?)
 
Hmm, I'll check...but if it does, I apologize. I could always post it in my blog if you have a gmail account or an account that is compatible with Blogger (Blogspot on Google)
