I was nothing but a street rat, a kid who grew up with no home, no family, and no friends. I use to live on Tattooine, that is until I turned eighteen. At the age of eighteen, I was saved by the Jedi, one of which was like a brother to me, and his name was Anakin Skywalker.

I pulled my feet to my chest as I heard screaming. Something was attacking the Tusken Raiders and I knew that it would soon make its way to me.

Tears streamed down my face as I waited for the sweet embrace of death, that was sure to come. But the door to my tent opened and I was met by a man wielding a lightsaber.

"(Y/n), is that really you?" He asked in shock.

I stared at the man in shock. He looked familiar in a way. It felt like I knew him from somewhere, but I couldn't place it, that is until I met his eyes.

"Ani?" I asked thru tears.

A smile spread across his face and in seconds I was in his arms.

Like myself, Anakin grew up on Tattooine. To be honest I knew Anakin before he liberated me from that hell hole. Anakin was a young slave and I was a pick pocket. Anakin use to live with his mother, Shmi Skywalker. Shmi was a goddess in my eyes. From the first moment she laid eyes on me, she welcomed me into her home and soon enough, she even started to claim me as her own child. She would tell everyone how proud she was of me and Anakin. I can still remember when Master Qui-gon Jinn arrived and took Anakin away.

I felt tears start to stream down my face as I watched Anakin pack.

"Do not worry, I will keep him safe." Qui-gon said as he put a hand on my shoulder.

"Can't I come with him?" I asked as I looked up at the man.

"I'm afraid you can't, but do not fear... one day you will meet again. You're bound is strong, I can feel it." He said as he knelt down.

I had felt like a part of myself had been ripped away from me. For months I couldn't sleep, or even eat. Before long I ran away, in the hopes of forgetting about Ani. But soon enough he returned and this time, he took me with him. Though it came at a great cost, Shmi was killed. Shim's death left Anakin as my only family, that is until he married his wife. But that is all in the past and I am now older and I live on Coruscant with Anakin and his wife, Padme. I have everything I could ever want, well almost everything.

"Stop them!" A voice yelled out.

I felt like my lungs would give out in any second. They were catching up to me and I knew that I didn't have a chance to get away. I should never have listened to my partner, I should have known that he would screw me over as soon as he had a chance.

"Stop that thief!" The clone yelled as I threw down a display.

"Catch me if you can, sucker!" I yelled as I continued to run from him, a giant grin on my face.

I was running out of fumes and could feel myself becoming exhausted but I wasn't willing to let the clone catch me. Especially because that meant I'd have to deal with Windu and I didn't want to deal with him. I made it around a corner and thought I was free, but instead I ran flat into someone. I let out a grunt as I fell backwards onto to the ground, and onto my ass.

"Watch were you are going." I grumbled as I rubbed my back.

"Really? Going somewhere, (Y/n)?" Someone asked playfully.

I looked up and my eyes instantly went wide as I came face to face with Anakin.

"General Skywalker, this woman tried to steal from a Senator." The clone spat out.
