A child trust is more important then a grown up one (Star Wars)

Chapter 5

Anakin was sitting cross-legged as he was looking at the clones, Rex called them 501 squad. As much as it's looks interesting his thoughts were back to his classmates and teacher. And he wonders why they thought that he's named other way and called him lier.

The boy jumped when he felt a hand clamping on his shoulder and he turned to see a man that look like Rex only dressed in yellow.
"Does this training bored you kid? I know Rex had a tendency to do that"

Anakin chuckled and he shook his head. "No. I was with my mind somewhere else,mr..."

"Cody. Call me Cody"

"Alright Cody. My name is Anakin".

"Nice to meet you Anakin", he said trying to disguise his surprise.

"I see that you come to pay a visit" Rex said and approached the two upon seeing Commander Cody.

"Yes. And I saw that you are boring this kid."

Rex roled his eyes and he looked at Anakin. "I'm not boring you I'm I little buddy"..

"Not at all" he said with a smile and he laughed a little when he saw Rex giving Cody a smug grin. This situation had made him stop thinking about his problems for a little while.

Latter found Anakin on the couch as he was looking at TV or HoloNet with Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. The girl upon her promise she had returned half an hour later after she left. And as much as he would have wanted to stay more there he knew that they should leave to attend to their own business.

After Anakin had finshed his studies and the three people had eaten Obi-Wan decided that a couple of hours of HoloNet would not do any damage. And now the boy was on the couch beside the man and the girl was on a chair beside the couch.

An hour or so had passed and the boy was starting to get sleepy. He didn't know what time it's was. But it's was definitely past his bedtime since he was feeling this sleepy.

Anakin shook his head to try and stay awake because the show was interesting. But no matter how much he tried to do that he was still failing miserable. Soon enough the fatigue had won the battle and the boy had falled asleep.

Obi-Wan looked from the HoloNet when he felt weight against his side and when he turned his head he saw that Anakin had falled asleep against his side. Without even looking he could tell that Ahsoka had saw that as well and she was cooing.

The man had forgotten how many times Anakin had falled asleep like this even since he had become his Padawan. Even though the young boy had been wary of him in the beginning. And he couldn't blame him for that.

"Master" Ahsoka voice had brought Obi-Wan from his mussings. "I was wondering about something" she spoke in hushed voice.

"And what is that?" Obi-Wan asked in the same way as the girl.

"You remember Nuvo Vindi, right?"

"Of course. Hard to not remember someone that would have the cause of the destruction of thousands of planets."

"Well I was wondering if he's the one behind Anakin changing. I mean. This looks like something that he would have done."

"I admit that if the situation would have been different I will have agreed with you. But Nuvo he's behind bars. And I doubt that he would have had an apprentice."

"Anything is possible Master. If you don't mind. I think that I will talk with Vokara Che tomorrow and tell her about this person to help her on her research"

"Vokara is a healer padawan. Not a scientist."

"I know. But she's still studying the dart I gave her."

"If you rest your consciousness then you are my guest to do what you had planned."..

"Thank you Master."

The next morning Anakin told Obi-Wan that he would not need to be brought to his classes because he can make it alone as well. I reality he told him that because he wants to be anywhere but in that place. So he had sneaked out from the Temple and walked through the Coruscant streets.

And now that he thought about it. Maybe it's wasn't such a great idea. One because this place was big. Two. Because he didn't were he was going. And three. He was completely lost without any way of knowing how to return at the Temple.

The boy but his lip as he was looking around hoping that he would find someone to help him. So as he was walking he didn't saw the person he walked in. "I'm sorry" the boy said immediately as he falled down.

"Ani?" Anakin looked up to see Padme crunching down in front of him looking worried. "What are you doing here? Are you alright?"

"Padme. I'm glad to see you. I was just walking around."

The woman raised an eyebrow as he looked at the little boy that had been once her husband. "Really? Alone?"

"Well I did it many times on Tatoine"

"Yes. But this is not Tatoine Ani"

"Yes. I kind of figured it to late."

The woman chuckled. "Do you want to come with me. I meeting a friend at the Senate. But I promise that it would be pretty boring for someone your age."

"I promise that I will not get bored and I will not be in yo... Wait. Senate? Aren't you working for the queen?"

Ah yes. She had forgotten that the boy only thought that she was a handmaiden and later a queen. "Ah. Yes. I am a Senator. So I work for the Queen."

"Oh. Alright. Can I still come?"

The woman nodded and she stretched out her hand. Anakin took her hand and he was pulled back. As they were walking towards the Senate building Anakin was greatfull that he had walked in Padme and that she hadn't intergoated him about what he was doing. And yes. Maybe she was right and there would be boring. But it's better then the classes.
