Anakin and I ran through the elegant hall of the Senate building to say goodbye to Padme. Outside the windows, speeders raced by with drivers and passengers. We stopped in front of a door flanked by a guard. "Can I help?" "We're here to see Padme." I replied uncertainly. The guard blinked at us and spoke into his comlink,while we looked around a bit nervously. "The boys are here to see Padme. "

"Let them enter!" With those words, the door opened and we both entered the Queen's quarters. "I'm sorry, Ani, Timmy,but Padme is not here at the moment." A maid greeted us,as two other servants appeared and went into the next room. "Who is it?" The queen spoke from the next room."Anakin and Timothee Skywalker. They are here to see Padme, Your Highness."

The queen stepped into the doorway and regarded us closely. Anakin and I bowed politely. "I've sent Padme on anerrand." The queen told us. "We're on our way to the Jedi Temple to begin training...I hope." I explained to the two women, as Anakin had remained silent. "We may never see her again. That's when we wanted to say goodbye to her."

"Yes."Anakin murmured hastily in agreement, nodding. " We will tell her. We are sure her heart will be with you." The queen said, and Irecognized the dismissal in her voice, so we bowed again. "Thank you, Your Highness." The queen disappeared back through the entrance and Anakin and I walked down the hall to the Jedi Temple.

As we arrived at a landing pad where we were told to wait, a transporter landed. Qui-Gon,Maven and Obi Wan got out and gestured for us to follow them. I looked at three of them questioningly.  Qui-Gon put a hand on my shoulder. " The Jedi Council has agreed to test you." He explained gently.

The three of them led us from the transporter to another building, the Jedi Temple. When Anakin and I first entered the building, we were both overwhelmed with awe. The halls were fairly quiet, lined with clean red carpets, with gold and huge stone statues over the entrance. "Wow." I breathed a sigh of amazement. We five walked down a series of aisles. I did what I could to memorize each turn.

When we reached a set of rounddoors, I realized it must be the council chamber. Qui-Gon stopped and leaned down to Anakin and me. "You will go in first, Anakin.Then you will go in after he's done, Timothee." He explained to us before Anakin entered the room. "Obi Wan and Maven will wait here with you." Qui-Gon said, and left without question.

We waited a few minutes until the doors opened and Anakin came out with a smile on his face. "Watch out, they have a few screws loose!" "Uh thanks?" I replied and now entered the room. "Hello." I said and looked closely at the people. The council consisted not only of human Jedi, but also of strange beings in different colors and a more than strange appearance.

While I stared stiffly at the room full of members all staring back at me observing me, as humiliating and awkward as that was, a man who seemed to be in charge sat forward in his chair with his hands folded across his knees as he looked at me with cold eyes. "Please step forward." He instructed and I immediately did as I was told.
