Collection #1 - Prologue

From: Obi-Wan.Kenobi@jeditemple.cor
To: Qui-Gon.Jinn@royalpalace.nab

Subject: Our Apprentice

Qui -

You might have thought that after all this time I wouldn't be surprised that a snap decision of yours has landed me in such trouble.

I do distinctly remember you telling the council that you would take Anakin as your padawan leaner - something I still have not forgiven you for (and don't start about Jedi forgiveness). So why is it, then, that I am here on Coruscant with a padawan and a training bond and you're soaking up the sunshine on Naboo?

How long do you plan on being away? I miss you, you Son-of-a-Sith.

Beloved

My heart, my soul, my life

Only you would I trust to look after the Chosen One. The fact I have handed him over to you for his training is simply proof of my love for you.

Yours eternally

Qui-Gon

You absolute Sith-spawned *&%^%.

I love you too.

Subject: RE: visit

It is settled! I am to return to Coruscant for the vote.

It has been so long, and although we've had these emails, to see you would be wonderful.

To see you as more than the little boy with golden hair who saved our lives with his bravery will be strange indeed, but I am ready for the surprise.

Please give my greetings to your master.

Padme

Subject: RE: visit

My heart races to see you. I've been aching for this for so long.

I will watch the skies for your ship and ensure your safety while you are here.

My master seemed surprised by the news of your return. He wanted to ask me to ask you if Master Jinn is also to return, but his own stuffy morals won't allow him to make sure a request of his padawan.

I do hope Master Jinn will be joining you. Someone needs to pull the stick from my master's ass, if only to replace it with something else.

Always your loyal servant,
Anakin

Ani! So passionate! You were passionate as that little boy on Tatooine, but I think now your passions are stirred less by speed and danger as they are by other feelings.

>I will watch the skies for your ship and ensure your safety while you are here.

My own brave Jedi! I am honoured indeed!

Ani! Should you speak so of your tutor and mentor? Master Jinn will be accompanying me, but I believe that his presence is to be a surprise. Please keep this a secret, if you can put up with your master's 'stuff' morals for a couple more cycles.

Such vicious imagery, Anakin. Have you changed so much?

>Always your loyal servant,

Aren't you supposed to be devoted to the Jedi?

what are you keeping from me, Qui?

I can never keep anything from you, beloved Obi

I see that secrets are harder to keep than Tatooinian Jelly Frogs....

Disappointed,
Master Jinn

Remember, you chose to bring me here and leave me with Master Kenobi.

Have all debts now been repaid?
