What? How Can I?

Chapter 13

...You drop Dende off and then you and Anakin go back to the temple and Anakin looks at you with a worried look.

"Maria, he had..." he starts.

"Anakin, that wasn't the main reason I wanted to get out of there. I didn't like his aura it was worse than the politicians I meet. It was almost like he is playing with the people serving him. He is your friend I won't stop you two but I don't want to be friends with him with his aura. I wouldn't be able to last very long on my own there with out being afraid of turning to the dark side of the force and I don't want to do that," you interrupt.

"You can sense people's auras?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."

You go to your room and look at the time and you sigh. Obi-wan comes in and looks at you.

"Maria, are you okay?" he inquires.

"Yes, just a little flustered is all," you reply.

He comes in and sits beside you.

"About what?"

"Dende wanted to see Palpatine today and I was fine until he started to ask me questions about my pregnancy. If I would have brought it up it would be fine but he didn't respect me when I wanted to keep quite and he had to bring up my life on Earth and insult them."

"I would be flustered after that as well. At least you are handling it well."

"Obi-Wan, can you take me to Dex's for dinner tonight. It reminds me of my home somewhat."

"Sure, Anakin has been bugging me that we have to go back there after your pregnancy. Dex sure likes how you eat anyways."

"Everyone does."

"I'm going to call Anakin to see if he will come and I'll come and get you when we are going."

You nod your head and Obi-wan leaves. After a while Luke comes in with Obi-Wan.

"Is..." you start.

"No, I don't know why he just doesn't want to come," Obi-Wan replies.

"That's fine."

You three go and Dexs comes out and greets you. You guys order minus Dex and you really don't mind sitting next to him. You are eating your heart out.

"Maria, don't eat so much of that stuff," Luke scolds.

"Come, Luke, I have to indulge once in awhile and it almost resembles Earth diners. So it shouldn't do any harm."

Luke sighs and Dex looks at you.

"How have you been?" he asks.

"Considering I was raped a month ago and got pregnant," you state in between bites. "These steaks are good almost like steak from cows on Earth."

"Glad you like them. But I guess I might not be seeing you every time a Jedi comes here."

"I might just to get out."

"Did they get the one who did that to you?"

"I don't know. I don't really care. I don't want to see him again."

Luke gulps and looks at you.

"What Luke?"

"He's in custody in the highest security here on Coruscant," Luke states. "They are setting a date for the trail but since you are the only one that survived you have to be an eyewitness."

"Well at least when I return to Earth I dont have to look at him. Mmmm.....Earth food....Aggggggg"

They laugh and you guys pay for the meal and head back. You walk around the Temple to get a little of the calories that you took in off. Then you head off for the library to entertain yourself. You start to read a good fiction book. After awhile the librarian comes to you.

"We are closing for the night," she states.

"Sorry, I was so engrossed with this book that I wasn't paying any attention to the time," you reply.

"I can hold that for you tomorrow, Master Johnson."

"That's fine. I'm planning to come back anyways."

"I figured that you have been in and out a lot of times."

She puts it behind the counter.

"Thank you, Jocasta Nu."

"You're welcome"

You leave and you feel tired so you fall asleep. When you wake up you continue read it by the end you realize it was a speculation what Earth would be.

'These speculations are almost true,' you think to yourself. Then...
