Y/n POV
"Fucking bitch!" I said through gritted teeth when the last bolt wouldn't get off the ETA-2 class fighter. It was my last one before I had to finish the report. I had gotten everything done faster then expected. Which took a lot of the captains by surprise, even the admiral was surprised. Shows them for ever doubting me to begin with! I gave a smirk finishing up.

When I used my rag to dry my forehead I heard the hanger doors open to see the captain that's always following along Vader. I gulped hoping he wasn't here for me. But much to my dismay he came my way. Shit I sighed heavily and put my rag down. He wasn't ever mean to me, on the contrary he was rather nice actually. It's just who he worked for I always worried about. I didn't want to end on the bad side of Vader.

He smiled at me softly and nodded. "Hey y/n. I just came to tell you Lord Vader wants you to bring the report to him personally about your progress" I sighed "thanks for letting me know Felix." He gave me a sigh of his own "of course. I'll see you around"

As I watched him leave to go about his business and I walked to the paper. I wrote down the last bit and grabbed the paper. I just need to put this on Vaders desk and leave. That's it. Then why do I feel so nervous? Oh, right! I know! Because he's killed millions and he'd kill me without so much of a worry. Then again, he weirdly healed my hurt foot a day ago. He's also kept his face hidden from me when apparently he doesn't go out of his way on purpose to do that for others.

I closed my eyes as I thought about it. Was he doing it on purpose? Or does he just not like me? But then him healing me doesn't make sense. Ugh! I gave up trying to figure it out as I stood in front of his door. Before I could knock he door slid open. Which caused me to flinch. He was sitting at his desk with his normal cloak on. Man, he even wears that in his office. Must be rough I though and he looked to me. "It isn't" I flinched and remembered he can read minds.

As I walked he pointed to the side of his desk. "Leave it there" I walked slowly and placed the paper down. As I took the time to look his way he looked up to me with those yellow eyes of his. That same feeling came back. I wasn't sure what it was but it was so familiar I could almost place it. When I narrowed my eyes at him he kept eye contact almost like he was insulted I kept eye contact for this long. "If your finished. Leave" he looked away as I stood there.

Silence filled the room and he didn't write anything else. I started to have a flashback to when I was a kid.

Flashback
I giggled running after Anakin to hide from Watto. We loved to play pranks on him after we've done all our work for the day. When an angry Watto flew in he growled in annoyance. "I'll get that wrench back! It's my last one you brats" as he flew past us we put it some place obvious to make him feel stupid.

We snuck out and walked down to Ani's house where is mother was probably waiting for us. Knowing my brother hed scold me for not being there to help Ani's mom. But he was already gone to be a Jedi. "Hey, y/n?" I looked over to Ani and smiled brightly at him. "Yeah Ani?" He looked to me nervously "a Jedi is at my house right now. He says I might be going with him"

My face fell and I felt my heart want to break. He seemed to realize this and he got nervous. "Please don't be sad! When I get strong enough and I save enough money. I'll come and rescue my mom and you too! We'll all be together like now!" He said this in such a strong and proud tone. I giggled despite feeling so alone now. "I don't doubt you for a moment. My brother is there too! You can see him and beat his butt in duels!" Anakin smiled bright. "I'll beat him and tell him 'that's for not visiting your sister!'" I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.

Anakin could always make me laugh so easily. His presence felt so soothing and made me so happy. As we walked inside I grabbed his hand. Whenever I felt nervous I always took his hand for comfort. There standing beside Anakins mother was the Jedi he spoke of. He looked our way. "Ah. Little ani. And..." he looked to me and tilted his head too. "Who might you be?" I stood beside Anakin who squeezed my hand and nodded at me. "My name is y/n l/n" this man smiled warmly at me. Almost like a father to his kids. "My name is Qui-Gon. It's a please to meet you"
