It took the death of Qui-Gon and his last request to have the Jedi Council let Obi-Wan train Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One. But what if they still refused to let Obi-Wan train Anakin? Would Anakin have fallen faster into the darkside? Where would they go?
The Phantom Menace
Things change when Obi-Wan talks with Yoda, after Qui-Gon's funeral. Yoda accept's Obi-Wan's promotion from Padawan, to Jedi Knight, but he still says no, even Obi-Wan ays he would leave the Jedi Order, in order to fulfill Qui-Gon's request. Obi-Wan would do what he said and take Anakin as his Padawan.
I would partly think that Padme, Queen of Naboo, would probably let Obi-Wan and Anakin stay, being the 9-year-old boy he was and obviously having a crush on her, Anakin would be overjoyed. Master Windu would feel very disturbed however. He wouldn't feel like he could trust Obi-Wan training.
A Force user who he believes is the "Chosen One" with someone that it's mostly obvious he has an attachment to. Master Yoda would tell him not to interfere and let Obi-Wan do what he believes, but they will still watch out for the little boy.
During the Years of Anakin's Training...
Anakin would train everyday. He would probably still have better clothes, but not completely sure if they're for Jedi, but Obi-Wan would probably have Anakin's hair shortened and give him a Padawan braid. Anakin would train most of the day, he would have a few mini-breaks, but his usual breaks would be meals.
And since they're not part of the Jedi Order, Obi-Wan would maybe allow Anakin to spend time with Padme, but make sure he doesn't become too attached to her. Anakin would probably even be able to listen to Obi-Wan more. Anakin would probably be able to grow stronger everyday, because his time and love for Padme and Obi-Wan, who was a father and brother to him, would fuel his heart.
Although, there would be times when Anakin would feel very scared, wondering what would happen if he doesn't become who he's meant to be. Obi-Wan, breaking free of his chains of the Jedi, would probably fall back in love with Satine, and probably even marry her...maybe though...
Attack of the Clones
The beginning of the 2nd episode would begin in a similar way, although Anakin and Obi-Wan would pretend to be random pilots, as Padme did. Anakin would be frightened for the Senator, seeing that they almost killed his love, but have killed Corde, who would probably have been a great friend to him. Anakin and Obi-Wan would meet up with the Jedi Council from a request.
They would all be rather amazed that Anakin doesn't appear to hold a grudge against them, even after they denied his training.
Obi-Wan and Anakin would protect Padme, being her friends for a long time. Obi-Wan and Anakin wouldn't argue so much. The chase would have the same result, but Obi-Wan trusts Anakin more.
The Jedi Council would ask Obi-Wan to take the case and find the bounty hunter, while Anakin watches over Padme. Obi-Wan would at first feel concerned, his Padawan and the senator had never been alone before, nor has Anakin experienced great pressure. Obi-Wan would turn to his apprentice and ask him if he is sure that he can take on this assignment alone. Anakin would smile, giving Obi-Wan an answer. Anakin, being more connected to Padme than ever before.
Back in the lake country, the romance scenes would still happen, although Padme would be more confused than regretful, wondering if Anakin was meant to take such a path. Anakin would sense his mother in trouble. He would want to go back to Tatoonie and save her, Padme would go with him. So we skip to when Anakin leaves, Padme would ride on Anakin's speeder with him.
So we skip to Anakin finding his mother. He finds her, but he couldn't save her. His rage boils within his blood. He grabs his lightsaber, but he then hears a voice, but it wasn't Padme's, it was the voice of Qui-Gon. The Jedi Master would tell Anakin not kill the sand people because they killed his mother and turn to the darkside. Anakin would realize what he almost did and tell Padme they need to go.
