Anakin's POV

Flashback/Dream(Age: Anakin-9 You-7)

I ran happily down the hallways towards the one person I wanted to see right now, excited to tell him the good news. I reached his door and knocked eagerly, before waiting patiently for his answer. After a few moments, the door slid open revealing my father figure, also known as my Master.

Obi-Wan smiled down at me, "You look happier than usual," He moved to the side to give room for me, and I keenly entered while still holding my smile. I haven't stopped smiling since it happened, "Was today a good day?" He asked with hope in his voice, since most days were far from it for me.

Many of the other younglings here were either bullies or avoided me like a bug, Obi-Wan said it's because they're afraid of me. But today, something amazing happened, and I no longer cared about how the others treated me.

I jumped onto his bed and sat with my legs dangling over the edge, "I made a friend today." I told him proudly.

His eyes lit up as he used the force to pull a chair over so he could sit in front of me, "You did?" He asked with a smile.

I nodded, "With a Princess."

His brows furrowed in confusion since I'm sure he knows there are no actual Princesses in this temple, "Are we talking imaginary? Because that doesn't count Ana-"

"No," I dismissed his incorrect remark with a giggle, "Shes just as pretty as a Princess, and her name is (y/n), it's a beautiful name." I swooned over her as much as a nine year old could.

Realization crossed his eyes while his smile returned, "I agree; that is a beautiful name, and she's Master Yoda's little one, she's a very sweet girl. A fine choice as a friend."

"Sweet is an understatement," I nervously played with hem of my shirt as I thought about her, "She was really nice to me, way nicer than anyone else here has been to me." I sighed heavily,

Obi-Wan leaned forward in his chair, "I'm happy for Anakin, you deserve to have friends, you're a kindhearted kid." He reached his arm forward and squeezed my shoulder gently, "I'm sorry your time here has been rough, but soon, everyone will see how gifted and amazing you are."

My eyes watered and I quickly blinked the tears away quickly, "Thank you Master, I'm-" My words were cut short by a low knock on the door.

Obi-Wan patted my shoulder before standing up and walking over to his door before opening it, "Well hello there." He greeted the person that I couldn't see in an enthusiastic tone.

"Hi Obi, is Anakin in here, I brought him something."

I immediately recognized the soft voice and I jumped from the bed before taking a nervous breath. Look at me, I barely met her and she was already making me anxious. I can only imagine what things will be like later in life when this friendship hopefully grows.

"Why yes he is." Obi-Wan stepped to the side and the girl with beauty like a Princess came into view, she smiled when she saw me.

"H-" Was all I could get to come out, I mentally slapped myself being so embarrassingly awkward.

Obi-Wan tightened his lips together as he suppressed a laugh at my expense, "Hi Anakin, I brought you this." She held a blue flower, still holding her sweet smile, oblivious to my erratic nerves. I stepped closer to her as my anxiety wore off by keeping my gaze on the flower, "It's the bluebell that I told you about earlier, my favorite flower."

I smiled as I accepted it, "It's just as pretty as you said." I twisted the stem in my finger tips and watched as the petals spun.

"(y/n) what has Master Ti told you about picking the flowers?" Obi-Wan asked her with a raised brow.

She shrugged as she glanced up at him with a devious smile, "To not do it, but what is she gonna do about it? Master Yoda doesn't let anyone yell at me."

He sighed in amusement as he shook his head, "The fact that you know you're untouchable scares me. You're going to be a lot of trouble one day."

Her smile grew like she was proud of his statement; prompting me to smile as well, in awe of her, "I'm already trouble and I'll be taking your padawan with me." She reached forward and grabbed my hand. I fiercely blushed as soon as her hand touched mine, "Want to pick flowers with me in the garden?"

I glanced up to Obi-Wan with pleading eyes. As much as I wanted to go with her, I didn't want to do anything that would upset him.

He was looking between us with a knowing gaze before smiling and nodding, "As long as you bring me back one, preferably something yellow."

(y/n) practically squealed as she locked her fingers with mine and pulled me out of the doorway.

We ran through the halls with our hands intertwined without a care in the galaxy, "Don't run in the halls!" Master Windu shouted us, but we both ignored him and kept enjoying ourselves.

It's not our fault that fun isn't in his vocabulary.

We quickly entered the garden and in the heat of our joy, (y/n) accidentally tripped over a rock, bringing me down with her.

I was about to laugh at our clumsiness, but any feeling of laughter died when I looked at her, "Are you okay (y/n)?" I asked as I sat up and eyed her forehead with concern, she was bleeding. I looked down to her eyes to see them watering and I started to panic, "No, please don't cry." I stood up quickly and took off my robe before pressing it to her forehead, it was the only thing I had on hand to use for pressure, "I'll fix it, I promise." I dabbed it softly and waited for the blood to stop coming out. It was only a small cut so it wasn't anything serious, thankfully.

"Thanks Anakin." She smiled up at me, and I glanced down to meet her soft gaze. Her (y/e/c) eyes were the prettiest eyes I had ever seen.

I blushed again, hoping she wouldn't notice, "I think it's better now." I pulled the robe away and boldly pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead. Something my mother would always do for me whenever I had a cut or bruise, "Come on." I held my hand out to pull her up to her feet, "Lets make Obi-Wan and Yoda some bouquets."

Flashback/Dreams ends

I slowly opened my eyes to blinding lights; prompting me to close them again to avoid the burn. My chest ached from the pain of the dream I had, which was more of a memory, my favorite memory. I tried to move, but my body was weak, like it was completely drained of any energy.

Then my mind played the final events that took place and I shot my eyes open again, ignoring the pain of the lights, "(y/n)-" I spoke in a strained voice while eyeing the unfamiliar room.

Where am I and how did I get here?

I thought I.. I thought I died. Wait, did I die?

It tried sitting up, only to be met with excruciating pain. I groaned loudly before weakly dropping my body back down to the metal table.

Nope, I'm definitely alive if I'm feeling pain as horrible as this.

I finally looked down and saw that I was shirtless, minus the thick white bandage that was covering the area where I remember being stabbed; and where the pain I was currently feeling came from.

"Careful you must be Skywalker, still injured you are, almost died you did."

I turned my head to be met with a pair of familiar, yet sad eyes, "You found me?" I asked and he nodded in response, "How?"

"To Sidious, I lost." He spoke in a heart broken tone as he looked away from me with guilt in his eyes, "Then, to find you I went. Nearly dead you were, so, brought you to Mandalore I did. After healing you the best I could."

"Thank you," I whispered in relief, "And Artoo?" I asked about my poor droid that I left alone on the ship, I prayed Palpatine or Sidious, whatever his name is now, didn't find him or do anything to him.

He nodded while slowly looking back up to me, "With Ahsoka he is." He gave me a small reassuring smile.

I sighed with relief once more, knowing that both of them were currently safe. But my heart still broke at the thought of the one person I really wanted, and the reality that she wasn't here with me..

Sidious took her away from me, I really lost the love of my life, "I'm so sorry Master Yoda, I tried. I really tired, but I failed; and he won." Tears prickled in my eyes, my heart feeling heavy with the sting of my failure, "I laid there helpless while I had to watch him take her." I balled my fists tightly and the room began to shake.

Yoda gave me a look telling me to control myself. So I took a few deep breaths to compose myself, and the shaking slowly began to cease, before completely stopping.

He shook his head; water forming in his own eyes as he did his best to not have his own break down, "Failed, you did not." He sighed as his ears dropped down miserably, "I know, the best you could, you did."

I whimpered, the pain in my chest was nearly unbearable, "He said-" I tried speaking, but I choked on a sob; earning me a sympathetic gaze from him, "He said she was his daughter. Is that true?"

His expression changed into one of deep anger, which wasn't an emotion I was used to seeing on him. Especially this aggressively, "Tell you that he did?"

I nodded, "Right before he tried to kill me."

His gaze dropped to the floor while his mind drifted away into thought, "Her father, he is not." The words came out in a growl, "Know who her true father is, I do." He glanced back up to me.

My glossy eyes widened in surprise, "You do; who?" I asked with urgency.

"Master Qui-Gon," I got the shocking answer, but it wasn't from who I expected.

I turned my head towards the other voice, Obi-Wan was standing in the doorway with a blonde clutching onto his arm, "Know you did?" Yoda asked him in surprise.

Obi-Wan nodded as he stepped inside with, and I'm guessing this based on her outfit and the way she was currently holding onto him, Duchess Satine. I've never actually met her in person before, only stories from Obi-Wan which consisted of things I'd rather not think about right now.

"I never got verbal confirmation," He said as he reached the medical table I was currently residing on, and placed his hand comfortingly in my arm, "But it wasn't hard to figure out as time passed, (y/n) is the spitting image of Katherine." He smiled; before it slowly began fade away and I saw his eyes pool with water, until he quickly blinked them away.

"And this Katherine, that's her mother?" I asked even though the answer was obvious, but my mind was a bit groggy from the pain meds I could feel I was on.

"Katherine is (y/n)'s mother yes. She was a beautiful shop owner from Alderaan. She was smart, funny, sweet, extremely adventurous despite her boring profession, and anyone who met her, immediately fell in love with her high-spirit." He chuckled at the memory of what sounded like an extraordinary woman; like mother like daughter, "So it was no surprise that Qui-Gon took an obvious liking to her. He tried to hide it from me, but I always had my suspicions, especially with him disappearing every weekend, and the ship coordinates were always conveniently set to Alderaan." He shook his head with a smile at Madter Qui-Gon's sloppiness, "Then as (y/n) got older, and how I noticed Qui-Gon was with her all the time before he passed away, well I put it together eventually." He shrugged before moving his hand to my bandages and inspected them. Blood was slowly seeping through, but it didn't appear to be too bad, "And it never took me by surprise that (y/n) chose to break the code for you Anakin, breaking it for love is in her blood."

His words made me want to break down all over again, but I held myself together the best I could, "And how did she die?" I asked; they were talking about her in past tense after all, so I can only assume she's dead, but I was curious as to how it happened.

"Unknown it has always been," Yoda spoke instead of Obi-Wan, "But now I know, Sidious it must have been."

"What led to that conclusion?" Obi-Wan asked with knitted brows.

That's when Yoda decided to explain everything revolving his theory. He began with how Qui-Gon confessed to who (y/n) really was to him. Making Yoda promise to watch over her if anything happens to him. Then he moved to when he learned that (y/n) was taken at only a few months old; her mother was found dead in her nursery by Qui-Gon himself.

My heart broke for my deceased Master. I remember how I felt thinking (y/n) was going to die on the day of our failed wedding. But if she was actually to have died that day, I don't know how I would have gone on. He always was a strong man, I wished he was still around, maybe things would have turned out differently.

I wonder if he would have been okay with the idea of me, sleeping with his daughter. Oh my gods what if he saw.. nope not the thought to have right now.

I tuned back into the story, which moved on to when they found her two years later; abandoned, injured, starved, and completely terrified of everyone, except for the two men in the room with me now. I had no idea that (y/n) and Obi-Wan even had a history this way, that he had this type of bond with her. I can only assume that when he got me, it lessened because his attention had shifted to me.

I felt sorry for him now too, this probably devastated just as much as the rest of us; and he's doing his best to hide it, trying to appear to be the strong one.

"It makes sense," Obi-Wan stroked his beard in thought; catching my attention and pulling me away from my own thoughts, "But do you think he released her so we would find her purposely, or was she running?"

Yoda shook his head with uncertainty, "Know that I do not. But this plan, working it from the beginning he has been. Stood a chance, we never did." He angrily tapped his cane on the floor.

I sighed as I glanced away from them and looked up towards the ceiling, "What are we going to now?" I asked in a grieving tone while silent tears streamed down my cheeks, landing on the metal table under me.

"Into exile I must go," Yoda spoke sadly and I closed my eyes to suppress the multitude of tears. Everything that we have all worked for, has been complete destroyed by someone we all love, "Take Grogu, I will. Raise him and keep him safe from this new Empire I can."

"And what about Anakin, Ahsoka, and I?" My former Master asked with a melancholic tone.

"You can all stay here," Satine offered with hope in her voice.

I sighed as I opened my eyes and turned to look at her, "Thank you Duchess, but we can't; it won't be safe for you or anyone here." I looked to Obi-Wan who held a reluctant look in his eyes. I know he wanted to take her offer and stay here with her, but we can't. Lilith knows about their relationship and she will come here to look, "You didn't see her the way I did, she's gone, her and Cal both." I choked on the lump in my throat, "And as soon as Sidious realizes I'm actually alive, and knowing that you and Ahsoka are alive as well, he's going to send them after use," I slowly sat up and ignored the pain I was feeling from my deep wound, "We as Jedi are considered a threat to his new Empire, so there's only one thing we can do at this point."

Obi-Wan sighed, already knowing what I'm going to say, "We're going on the run."

༻✦༺

As soon as I was better, we had to say goodbye.

And the goodbyes were more than difficult.

My heart broke as I hugged Yoda and watched him take Grogu, and disappear into a ship to a location that is unknown to us.

Not that he didn't trust us, but we didn't want to know, just in case we got caught one day and tortured for information. It's better that we didn't know, so him and Grogu will always remain safe.

Ahsoka and I stood at the ramp of a ship that was given to us by the Duchess; it's completely untraceable and anyone who sees it, will think of it as a mercenary ship from Mandalore. We can easily fly under the radar; safely, and quietly.

"I feel so bad for them." Ahsoka broke our silence as we watched Obi-Wan say goodbye to Satine who looked completely heart broken, they both did. We don't know how long it will be before they're able to see each other again, but for the Duchess's safety, we had to stay away.

I nodded before looking down to the floor; I couldn't handle the sight anymore. Not only was it heartbreaking to see, but it reminded me of.. her, when she used to hold me and say goodbye before one of us left on a mission, "Me too." I blinked and watched a tear fall to the metallic floor.

"We may have lost them, and it hurts me too, but we still have each other Skyguy." Her soft voice cracked as she slowly brought her hand to mine, and locked her fingers with my own.

I turned my head to glance at her, meeting her glossy blue eyes, "Yeah Snips," I tightened my hold on her hand; doing my best not to break down in front of her. I had to remain strong for her now, "We do."
