Chapter 12 - Star Wars Fan-fiction 2 - Never Gone (1/2)
Plot: AU. Complete! Chp 32 up! The Jedi refuse to train Anakin. He returns to Tatooine in hopes of freeing his mother. But he and Padme keep in touch. Ten years later, Anakin sets out to reunite with the woman he loves. AnakinPadme. AU fic, Anakin is not a Jedi
Pairing: Ani-Padme, Han-Leia
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. It all belongs to George. I also don't own the song ”Never Gone” by BSB.
AN: Here's a brand new story. Enjoy and please let me know what you think! This is an AU fic that starts out at Obi-Wan's knighting at the end of episode I. Master Yoda forbids Obi-Wan to train Anakin and despite his promise to his master and he agrees. Therefore Anakin does not become a Jedi and he is free to love Padme. This will be kind of a fun, romantic, and sėxy story. But it will have the action, adventure and conflict as well. This story also has nothing to do with the A Matter of Trust/A Matter of Hope storyline. So enjoy!
Never Gone
Chapter 1: Never Gone
The things we did, the things we said
Keep coming back to me and make me smile again
You showed me how to face the truth
Everything that's good in me I owe to you
Though the distance that's between us
Now may seem to be too far
It will never separate us
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone
”Trial enough your battle with the Sith was. Confer on you, the rank of Jedi Knight the council does,” Yoda said, as he severed Obi-Wan's padawan braid.
”Thank you master. What of the boy? I promised master Qui-Gon that I would train him,” Obi-Wan said.
”Hmm...train the boy, you will not,” Yoda said.
”But master, I promised,” Obi-Wan protested.
”Just became a knight yourself. Ready for a padawan you think you are already?” Yoda asked. Obi-Wan lowered his head. He knew Master Yoda was right, he was not ready. Especially not for a boy as exceptionally gifted in the Force as Anakin. Perhaps, this would be for the best.
”I'm sorry master,” Obi-Wan silently apologized.
”You're right master. He did destroy the control ship and save Naboo, so I will allow him to accompany me back to Naboo for the celebration. Then, I will either let him stay or see that he returns to his mother on Tatooine. The queen is very fond of him, I'm sure she will see to his safety,” Obi-Wan said. Yoda nodded satisfactorily.
”But you promised that I would become a Jedi,” Anakin said sadly.
”I know Anakin and I'm sorry, but it's just not meant to be. You'll be returning to Naboo for the celebration. Then Queen Amidala says you can stay on Naboo or return to your mother. Perhaps someday, you'll be able to free her,” Obi-Wan suggested. Anakin bowed his head sadly. Obi-Wan ruffled his hair and left him with his thoughts.
”Ani, can I come in?” Padme's voice said through his door.
”Sure,” Anakin replied.
”I'm sorry Ani, I know you must be disappointed. But I want you to know that you can stay on Naboo if you want,” Padme said. She had come dressed in the simple attire of a handmaiden, rather than as the queen.
”Why do you care about me? The Jedi don't,” Anakin replied sadly.
”Ani, I will always care about you. You're very special to me,” Padme replied, as she brushed the blonde locks from his eyes.
”I want to stay on Naboo...but I can't leave my mom a slave. I have to go back and free her. When I do, I could come back, couldn't I?” he asked. She smiled.
”Of course. Here, I want you to have this,” Padme said, as she handed him a small datapad.
”What's this?” Anakin asked.
”It's a data messenger. We can write to each other all the time with it,” Padme said. Anakin's eyes widened.
”Really!” he asked.
”Sure,” she replied.
