Delusions of Grandeur

I watched little Ani while he worked for hours. It made me miss my time and my Anakin, who I have watched do the same thing, work for hours with determination over the years. I’m going to throttle my time’s Anakin. He has no idea what he becomes, what he will do.

He finally jumped up with a huge smile. “I did it!” He handed me the Nav and the comm all wired together. “Looks like a mess but I think it works!”

I reached down and hugged him. “If you made it, it will work.”

I took the rigged thing-a-bob from Anakin and stared it. It was a mess but had to work. I just hope Vader is looking for me, that he knew I was in trouble. Not that I want him around, mind you, but a little help- he owes me that. Still he is going to grumpy, our parting wasn’t the nicest, and I did steal his ship and crash it. But what did he expect? “Oh, so you’re Anakin and a Sith, you kill everyone, here let me kiss and hug you bye!”

You know, now that I think of it Vader would expect that.

I realized I never found out why Vader the full reason behind why he turned to the dark side in the first place. I flipped out and left before I thought of it. I could hear my master’s voice in my head telling me how foolish that was. Well, I guess if he shows up, I’ll just have ask. After I kick his helmet in again.

Little Ani handed me a small pack. “Keep in here and keep it with you. Maybe now your friend can come help you.”

Suddenly I felt really sad looking at his happy face. If he only knew… I hugged him.

“Ewwww!” he cried, wiggling. “Girl germs!”

I laughed and let him go. Then something crossed my mind. If I told Shmi about her death, it would only scare her, and things could become worse for us all. Anakin was the one who was filled with grief over not saving his mother. Instead of telling her, maybe if I hinted something to little Ani… maybe I could implant something in his mind he would only remember in time to save his mother later on.

I did realize that when I left here, I was going to have to try to make him forget me. Keyword: try.

“Let’s go for a walk. That should work better outside,” Ani said.

I followed him, carrying the little pack. The suns were coming up and it was all ready starting to get hot.

At least I was going to have a great tan by the time I left.
