Anagwin had studied her limitations well, with most of them she had found a flaw with the others she was able to place time limitations; Anagwin had indeed found freedom again. As the weeks drew on to months Anagwin felt the need to end her boredom, only when Anagwin was bored did she crave mischief. As Anagwin climbed into her final pod for the day she realised she could go anywhere she wondered, 'why travel in circles' Anagwin raced through one lap, as she did Anagwin weighed up her decision.  She knew Ti-Rany would not be pleased, Anagwin knew she would have a disappointed scowl upon her face when she returned, Anagwin wished she could have bought Ti-Rany along, after all slaving for the mighty Jabba was a boring, pointless occupation, but there Ti-Rany was pleasing the mighty Jabba, Anagwin wanted to do the right thing, but did the right thing have to include no life for anybody else to lead.  Anagwin pondered that question, after all she didn't mind the idea of mighty Jabba having staff, she only wished they had a choice or better yet had a life of their own as well as serve him, Anagwin hated what the slaves had to endure and the poor treatment they experienced, it wasn't right, Anagwin didn't know what the right thing was, except when on Tattooine you must obey mighty Jabba, Anagwin wondered if that was even right, nevertheless it wasn't a choice for her.

The pod dealer had left Anagwin all alone having trust in her, believing that she was a wonderful, obedient child.  Indeed she was a young, free spirited child, Anagwin felt no one would know she had left, she was finished for the day, all she had to do was get back before nightfall, Anagwin figured she could do that, she could make Ti-Rany proud, and mighty Jabba happy, as well as having some fun in the mid afternoon.  The child left the ring, flying faster than the eye could see, Anagwin left towards the sand dunes, far beyond the palace boundary, to the outskirts of Tattooine.  Anagwin could see more of this sandy planet, within Anagwin's eyes, Tattooine was a dead planet, as she whizzed passed, through the sand it made the sand whirl around her, this indicated she was way to close the ground, Anagwin didn't know how to fix that, after all this pod was never built to be raced on hilly, sandy dunes, now Anagwin realised she chose to do a very silly thing, Anagwin decided to turn around and head back home, she didn't want to get any closer to those bantha's after all it is said, the sand people aren't from the bantha's, if you find them you'd sooner have wished you died at the hand of mighty Jabba. The sand people are the indigenous of Tattooine, who do not like inference from others, Anagwin was burning with excitement, she couldn't wait to get back to relay the news to Ti-Rany and to see her face, for what she had done was highly illegal, after all she was a slave, who disobeyed yet another order, this made Anagwin very happy, she was on her way home knowing she'd be safe with a shocking story to tell.

As Anagwin accelerated through the corner she took to turn around, the pod clunked and puttered, as the left engine filled with sand from the near by dune, Anagwin got way to close the high hill, with a crash, a skid and through the wreckish of once a potential top pod racer, having just enough time to jump out of the crashing pod, the pod was left with no hope of ever being saved.  Anagwin lay on the ground trying to catch her breath through short spurges of pain running through her leg, when Anagwin smelt fuel, her fuel line was leaking and the wires were sparking, Anagwin didn't have much time to get as far away as possible, Anagwin pulled herself from the ground and jumped as far as the force could carry her, as she was leaving mid air, the pod exploded, through Anagwin further away and closer to the Tusken Raiders.  It wasn't quite sunset yet, however the heat radiating from the Suns and off the sand it was hard to believe the heat of the day was no longer here, Anagwin felt sad, afraid and lonely, she was deep trouble, in the present and in the future, the Tusken Raiders were a threat, but so is mighty Jabba's anger when she returns.  Anagwin turned to look at the mess left behind, however it was almost gone, because of the high speed Anagwin was flying at when she crashed sand whirled everywhere, it has settled now, Anagwin was a little upset, for the smoke would have sent a signal for help, but Anagwin was also pleased, she didn't know what she wanted, Anagwin buried the remains of the pod, and sat on the burning sand, she was miles away from her mother, brother and Ti-Rany, the palace and others that would come to her call for any reason at all.  Within the desert there was indeed a Tusken camp lay near  her, the sun was setting and her presence hadn't gone unnoticed!
