The next day, Anakin quickly, as quickly as he can with his healing leg, walks the halls of the padawan quarters, a giant smile plastered on his face as he stops at the door he's come so familiar with over the past seven months. He doesn't even have to knock, the door swings wide open, "Hey, you," Evelyn says softly, leaning on the door, getting used to the implant in her ankle, seeing Anakin's smile as one grows on her face as well, "Everything alright?"
Anakin nods, "The council needs to see us," Evelyn tilts her head in confusion, knowing that Anakin hates council meetings, "Something about the war ending soon," he elaborates, lying through his teeth.
Evelyn nods, "We don't want to keep them waiting do we?" She quips, grabbing her brown cloak, walking out of her room and joining Anakin in stride towards the central elevator.
"I'm proud of you," Anakin says in the elevator as Evelyn looks at him with a smile, "I hope you know that."
Evelyn nods, "You never cease to remind me," she says, still trying to catch a rhythm in her strides.
Anakin nods happily, "Good. You're coming into your own," he continues, "You stopped me from killing Count Dooku in cold blood, you stood toe to toe with Darth Maul, and you're alright with a lightsaber," he says as the elevator doors open, the master and apprentice walking out to the doors in front of the chambers.
Evelyn bumps his shoulder, "You're not too bad yourself, Master," Evelyn says, knowing that she has to keep appearances by calling him that.
Anakin reaches out to open the door, "Please," he says, the doors slamming open to the pitch black room a smile on his face, "It's Anakin from now on."
Evelyn looks at Anakin, confused as he slips into the darkness, Evelyn following suite, but finding herself in the middle of the chambers as 13 lightsabers ignite , Yoda standing on his chair, catching her off guard.
She looks towards Anakin, standing right next to Obi Wan, both wearing proud smiles on their face, "Step forward, Young Zaad," Yoda demands. Evelyn does as the Grand Master asks, kneeling before him, honored to be a part of a legendary lineage of Jedi.
From Yoda to Dooku, Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Anakin, and now her, carrying on the legacy of Yoda's line, "Evelyn Zaad," Yoda moves his saber to her right shoulder, "By the right of the Council," he begins to move left, "By the will of the Force," Yoda hovers his saber over Evelyn's head, "I dub thee, Jedi," Yoda states, cutting off Evelyn's braid, "Knight of the Republic."
Evelyn rises, and is shocked when the last person she expected puts his hand on her shoulder, "Congratulations, Knight Zaad," Mace Windu says with a smile, "You have been through a lot of adversity to get here, and speaking for the council, we know you will do right by the order and the galaxy."
Anakin's jaw drops in shock, as does Evelyn's, but she contains it, "Thank you, Master," Evelyn responds, bowing her head in respect before walking over to Anakin and Obi Wan, giving a huge hug to Anakin, who swings her off of her feet in pure excitement, and a hug to Obi Wan as well, celebrating together.
