Star Wars: Skywalker

Chapter 3 || Reasons For Excuses

Anakin rushed into the Jedi Temple, and found Obi-Wan meditating in a corner. As Obi-Wan heard Anakin stride into the Temple, he greeted him with an annoyed look, "Well, Anakin. I've been wondering what's onto you since these past few days. Could you tell me why you were so late today?" questioned the annoyed Obi-Wan, as he got up.

"I'm sorry, Master. It's just that..." mumbled Anakin, who was lost for words. He was lost in his own state.

Obi-Wan gave him the well-hurry up-we-don't-have-time-for-this look. Anakin snapped back to the present and continued, "Well... I just went to the Council for advice."

"Was it important? I have to know if you want to be excused." questioned Obi-Wan, sternly.

"Yes, kind of." replied Anakin, quickly. He just didn't want to talk about it.

"Speaking of important, what was the matter?" asked the curious Obi-Wan.

"Err..." gulped Anakin.

"Go on." pressed Obi-Wan.

"I had nightmares. Every single night. It was about Padmé, she was dying!" he couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears were rolling down his cheeks. Not again...

"Was that why you had to go to the Council?" asked Obi-Wan, hoping he wasn't lying like the last time. Or times before this. It is about Padmé again...

"Yes." Anakin replied, hastily, wiping off stray tears. He didn't want his Master to notice him crying, his Master would just tell him off.

"Come on, enough talk. I think I should be able to excuse you--" Obi-Wan was cut halfway through his sentence.

"Yes!" whispered Anakin, fist-pumping the air in victory. He knew Obi-Wan was very forgiving, so as his padawan, Anakin was very lucky.

Obi-Wan saw him celebrating in victory and continued, "As long as this doesn't continue. Again." Obi-Wan warned rather sternly.

"Alright." Anakin mumbled, looking down at the floor. He wasn't sure if he could keep that a promise.

A/N: The end of chapter 3! Did you guys like the chapter?

I know that you're thinking that Anakin's acting a little childish here...(haha..). (Sorry if you're an Anakin fan). Btw, he's still a Padawan. And Obi-Wan's still a Jedi Knight. (Though Anakin calls him Master...).

Anyways, that's all. May the Force be with you!
