Battle of Coruscant (Part 1)

The next morning Petro had a rough awakening because Zatt shock him by his shoulders.
He groaned.

'I'm awake. What's up?' he asked while stifling a yawn.

'I don't know, but you must hurry up.'

'Okay.'

He jumped out of bed and put on his tunic. He was already on the doorstep when he turned to his fellow youngling again.

He did as he was told by Master Windu and bowed to the Council members.

'Open your eyes again.'

Petro did as he was told and saw that the other hand belonged to Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. He had a serious look on his face while Master Yoda declared them to Master and Padawan.
Wait...what? Me? The Padawan of Anakin Skywalker? THE Anakin Skywalker?

'Train him well, Skywalker.'

'Yes, my masters. I will.'

'And Petro, follow your master's orders for becoming the best possible Jedi.'

'Yes, Master Plo Koon.'
