Chapter 2

Two weeks later, Anakin walked out of the room and saw Obi-Wan quietly talking to one of healers.

" Master Kenobi, you will have to let your Padawan know that if the girl does not come to, in two days. We will have to take her off the machine and call her death." Master Rumrunner said, not knowing that the young man was standing behind them.

" No, you can't do that! I know that she will wake up soon. Please, Obi-Wan, don't let them do it." Anakin pleaded with the adults.

" Anakin, listen to me. I don't like it any more than you do, but it is for the best, for this young girl." Obi-Wan said going over to Anakin and putting his hand on the young man's shoulder.

" Can you please give her two more days? I know she will wake up." Anakin looked at the two Jedi Masters.

" Ok. I will give her two days, but no longer." the Jedi Healer told Anakin, just as there beeping sound coming from the room. ,p>Master Rumrunner rushed into the room, with Obi-Wan and Anakin following close behind her.

" What is the problem? " the Jedi Healer asked, as she came up to the bed.

" There was a slight movement in the girl's eyes." the young Padawan Learner said, as the head healer turned off the alarm button.

" Ok. Just keep an eye on her. If there is any changes, call me. As for you young Padawan, I suggest that you get something to eat." Master Rumrunner looked up at Anakin, after she finished with the girl's vital signs.

" But ...." Anakin started to say.

" No, buts, Anakin. There isn’t anything else to do, at the moment. So, let’s go eat." Obi-Wan came over to Anakin and put a hand on the young man's shoulder.

" We are going to start decreasing the medication that we have her on. So, if something does happen, it will be in a couple hours." the Healer said, as she walked towards the door.

The only thing that Anakin could do is, nod his head and followed Obi-Wan out of the room. They left the medical center of the Temple and headed to the turbo-lift, so that way, they can get to the dining hall. They stopped at the doors of the lift, just as it came to a stop on their level. Getting onto the lif,t Obi-Wan pushed the button that the level that dining hall was on. The lift stopped on the level that they needed, the doors open and the two Jedi stepped out of the lift. Going down the hallway, they passed a couple of Younglings, who stopped in their tracks, long enough to bow their heads to both Anakin and Obi-Wan.

“ Just slow it down some." Obi-Wan smiled at the two Younglings.

" Yes, Master Obi-Wan." the two children said at the same time.

Anakin smiled at the two children, before heading towards the dining hall. Once they got to the doors of the dining hall, they opened up and a couple of Padawans came out of the room, but one of them held the door open for the two Jedi. Anakin walked in to the room, looked around and saw Romy and two female Padawans sitting at a table.

," I will see you again at lunch." Obi-Wan chuckled, as he looked at the table that Anakin was looking at and saw his friends sitting there.

" Ok. I will see you later then." Anakin said, as they got into the line for their food.

Anakin grabbed his food, before going over to the drink machine to get some Jawa juice. Then, he headed for the table, where his friends were sitting at.

" He,y Anakin. How is everything going?" Romy asked, as Anakin sat down next to one of the female Padawans.

" Hey, guys. Everything is going as well as can be. Um, hello. Am Anakin." Anakin looked at the girl, sitting next to him.

" Yes, I know. I am Tracie." the girl said, as she began to blush, because she has a huge crush on Anakin.

" I ran into Kymy the other day. She was pissed off because you haven't been around to see her." Romy said, as he winked at Anakin.

" Well, it will be some time, before I go and see her. There is something more important than her. I think it is time to look for someone new. Lets say, she is getting to attached and wants me to commit to her." Anakin said, as he took a bite of his breakfast.

" Don't let the Council know that you are seeing someone outside of the Order." Romy said, as he watched Obi-Wan sit down next to a female Jedi Master. He leaned over to her and whispered something in her ear.

Anakin turned around to see what Romy was looking at. He saw that he was looking at Obi-Wan and his female companion.

" Obi-Wan knows about her and so does Master Yoda." Anakin turned back around and started eating his breakfast again.

" Whoa and Master Yoda has not said anything to you about seeing her?" Romy asked.

" No, because they know that she is only around for sex and that is it." Anakin put a spoonful of mush into his mouth.

" Um ... Anakin, I was wondering... What are you doing tonight?" Tracie asked hoping that he was free.

" Nothing. Why do you ask?" Anakin turned his attention to the girl, sitting next to him.

" Well, I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me." Tracie gave Anakin a hopeful smile.

" Tell you what. Give me your number and if nothing happens an hour before dinner, then I will call you. Then, we can get something to eat." Anakin smiled back at Tracie. ,p> " That sounds great." Tracie said, before going back to her breakfast.

" So, how is that girl that you brought here?" Romy asked, as he saw a sad look come across Anakin's face.

" Well, there was some kind of eye movement, but that is all. They said that if she did not come out of the coma, then they will have to take her off the life support." Anakin said, as he finished the last bit of his breakfast.

" Isn't she girl that was found in the entertainment section of the city? She was hurt really bad and everyone still can not believe that she has lived this long." The girl next to Romy said, before taking a sip of her Caf.

" Yes, that is the girl. I too can not believe that she has made it this long. I just hope that she wakes up, is all." Anakin said, as he finished up his juice.

" Well, I have to meet up with my Master and practice combat tactics number three and four." Romy said, getting up from the table.

" I need to hit the refresher, before doing some research on animals on different planets." Anakin started to get up from the table.

Everyone got up, headed out of the dining hall and went over to the turbo lift.

" Oh, what is your number, so that way, I can call you?" Anakin asked Tracie, as the lift stopped on their level. The doors opened up and a couple of Younglings came off the lift, nodded their heads and headed for the dining hall.

The four Padawans got onto the lift and headed to the levels that they needed to get off at. While they were going to their levels, Anakin got Tracie's number.

" I will call you later." Anakin leaned his head down and whispered in Tracie's ear, before giving her a light kiss, just as the lift stopped and the doors opened up.

" Ok, bye." Tracie said, before she stepped off the lift.

" Are you going to see her?" Romy said, as the doors on the lift closed.

" Maybe. I will see how tonight goes and if things go well with her, then I will start seeing her. So far, I like what I see." Anakin winked to Romy, before he stepped off the lift.

Anakin walked into his quarters, got out some clean clothes, before heading into the refresher. Five hours later, Anakin was kissing Tracie goodnight, before heading to the medical center. He walked into the medical center and saw the Healer come out of the girl's room.

" Good evening, Anakin." The Healer said, as she saw Anakin come into the room.

" Good evening, Master. How is she doing?" Anakin asked, as he looked over the older woman's shoulder and saw the girl still laying in the bed.

" There is no change in her condition. There was still eye movement, but that was all." The older lady said, before heading to her office.

Anakin walked into the room, pulled over the chair and sat down next to the bed.

" Hey, am back. I want you to know that you are not alone. I will be here all night long." Anakin took ahold of the girl's hand and held it, before he laid his head down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Two hours later, Anakin woke up to pressure on his hand. Sitting up, he realized that the girl was squeezing his hand. Anakin gently squeezed back and then, he felt another squeeze. He looked up to the girl's face and saw the most beautiful hazel eyes, looking back at him.
