Through the flood and through the fear...
Time set: The Phantom Menace
(Y/N) Pov.
We were walking through the spaceport on the deserted planet. My cloak dragging across the sand behind my small figure, creating small dust clouds. Looking around the market I saw lots of different species and alot of scavengers trying to sell their treasure's. As I was glacing around I felt a familiar pull to a spesific shop on the left side of us. Qui-gon noticing my gaze turned to the house aswell and nodded.
"We'll try this one." He said and strode inside.
Me, the gungan and Padmé all hurried after him into the small hut. As we walked inside there was a weird creature speaking in a language I did not understand, he turned to us and his eye's lit up.
"I need part's for a J-type 327." Qui-gon told him.
"Ah, yes! We have lot's of those." The Toydarian replied while turning around and called for someone in the same language they spoke before.
"My droid has a readout of the piece's I need." The jedi continued.
Suddenly the strange pulling i felt earlier intensified and a boy my age ran in the building. He had blonde hair, kinda long, and beautiful blue eyes, he was also a little taller than me. I felt myself stare at him, until he sat on the countertop and our eyes met. I gulped and tried to look away but i was not capable of doing so. He suddenly broke our gaze, although he looked back at me after.
"Are you an angel?" He asked.
"What?" I questioned confused at the weird question.
Padmé who was looking around heard him and glanced at us. She wiggled her eyebrows at me and grinned. I only rolled my eyes at her gesture and focused back on the boy.
"An angel. I heard the deep space pilot's talk about them. They're the most beautiful creature's in the universe, they live on the moon's of lego, i think." He continued talking.
"How do you know so much about these kind of stuff?" I asked interested in his speech.
"I listen to all the trader's and pilot's who come here. Im a pilot too, you know, and soneday I'm going to fly away from this place." He rambled while wiping off a small metal piece.
"You're a pilot?" I asked chuckling a bit.
"Yeah, all my life."
"How long have you been here?" Padmé asked finally joining the conversation.
"Since i was little, three, maybe. Me and my mum were sold to Gardulla the hut, but she lost us to a betting on a podrace." He answered.
"You're a slave?" I questioned sadly.
"Im a person and my name is Anakin." The boy said angrily.
"Sorry, i didn't mean to offened you." I apologized.
Suddenly we were distracted by Jar Jar who touched a droid that sprung out of it's place and scared him. He tried to put it back to it's original spot but just couldn't do it.
"Hit the nose!" Anakin shouted at him. Jar Jar did as told and the droid got back in it's place. "Wouldn't have lasted long if I wasn't good at building thing's."
"We are leaving." Qui-gon said coming back into view.
Padmé nodded and motioned Jar Jar to follow them. I stood still in my place and watched them leave, I turned to Anakin and smiled.
"It was nice meeting you, Anakin. I'm (Y/N)." I said walking towards the door while looking at him.
"I'm glad I met you too!" He said and waved bye to me as I walked out.
I joined the others and we strode through the city in the desert. Qui-gon had called Obi-wan on his comlink to see if there was anything of value on the ship that we could sell. Anakin was still on my mind and just couldn't shake him out of my head. I turned to the jedi master and looked up at him.
"That boy, Anakin, why did I feel pulling of some sort when I was near him?" I asked curious about the topic.
"I suppose the force is trying to tell you something, I felt it too." He answered.
"He's like us." I mumbled mostly to myself.
Suddenly there was commotion behind us, we turned around to see Jar Jar and some creature having a fuss. They pushed him to the ground and shoved some food into his face. As I was watching the scene unfold i couldn't ignore the familiar pulling feeling return, I turned my head in the direction i felt it come from and saw Anakin come into view. He stomped up to the creature and spoke in the unknown language again, they walked away angrily and Anakin had a smirk of victory growing on his face.
"Hi." He said simply when we walked up to him.
"Hey there." Qui-gon replied glancing down at the young boy.
"You're buddy here was about to be turned into orange goo. He picked a fight with a dug, a pretty dangerous one too called Sebulba." Anakin informed us.
Jar Jar spoke about something, I still couldn't understand what he was saying due to his accent. I locked eyes with Anakin and we smiled at each other while Qui-gon was telling Jar Jar something.
"Thank you, young friend." The jedi spoke and started walking away followed by Padmé and Jar Jar.
I stayed with Anakin and we walked side by side talking and giggling behind the others.
---------------------------------------
"Here, you'll like these..." Anakin said as he handed me some fruit he bought from an old lady.
"Thank you." Me and Qui-gon said at the same time.
He put the fruit's away in his pocket, although when he moved his cloak the lightsaber attached to his belt was seen by the boy beside me. I could sense his shock when he saw the weapon.
"Oh, my bones are aching. A storm's coming, Ani. You better get home quick." The lady said getting Anakin's attention.
"Do you have shelter?" He asked us.
"We'll head back to our ship." Qui-gon answered walking away from the stand.
"Is it far?"
"It's on the outskirt's." Padmé told him this time.
"You won't get there in time. Sandstorm's are very dangerous. Come on! I'll take you to my place." Anakin said leading the way to his home.
We were walking for a while and the wind was starting to blow really hard making my hair fly around messing up my hairstyle. I had to cover my face with my cloak because of ths sand blowing into our face's. We got to a small hut built out of stone or bricks similar to the one's we saw earlier. Anakin led us to the front door and opened it for us to rush in, once he was inside he slammed the door closed.
"Mum! Mum, im home!" He called out.
A woman then came into the room drying her hand's. Once she looked up she was shocked that her son had brought company with him.
"They are my friends!" Anakin exclaimed excitedly.
"I'm Qui-gon Jinn. Your son was kind enough to offer us shelter." The jedi introduced himself.
"Im building a droid do you wanna see?" Anakin asked me and Padmé.
"Sure, i would love to." I answered grinning.
I followed him into the next room and saw a droid who was, I guess in work of progress, sitting on a bench. R2 followed us, I nearly forgot he was with us the whole time.
"This is 3PO. He's not exactly finished yet." He explained looking over at me.
"He's awsome." I mumbled still shocked at how a young boy like him could build something so complicated.
"He is a protocol droid im building to help my mum. Watch!" He added and walked over turning it on.
"Oh, Oh! Um- where is everybody?" The droid rambled turning around to reveal he only had one eye.
"Oops! Here it is." Anakin mumbled grabbing his other eye and putting it in place.
"Oh, hello! I'm C-3PO human-cyborg relations." The droid introduced himself.
"He"s perfect." I said in awe.
"When the storm is over I'll show you my racer. I'm building a Podracer aswell. You can see it too, if you want to." Anakin informed us.
"That would be great!" I beamed and looked back at C-3PO who was walking around.
"I'm not sure if this floor is entirely stable. Oh, hello! I don't belive we have been introduced." He said to R2 who beeped in response. "R2-D2, what a pleasure to meet you! I am C-3PO human-cyborg relations."
R2 beeped in response again but seemed to be saying something much longer.
"I beg your pardon, what do you mean naked?" 3PO asked confused by what the other droid meant. "My parts are showing? Oh! My goodness!"
We all laughed at the droid's communicating. I glanced at Anakin and he looked my way also, he smiled at me and i did the same. I still couldn't shake the feeling of pulling off ever since i met him, but it wasn't annoying it was just there.
I felt like Anakin and I will become real good friend's in a while away from now.
