Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon stood outside the palace on a balcony.
"The kids will not pass the Council's tests, Master. They're too old." said Obi-Wan.
"They will become Jedi ... I promise you."
"Do not defy the Council, Master... not again." replied Obi-Wan.
"I shall do what I must, Obi-Wan."
"If you would just follow the code you would be on the council. They will not go along with you this time." stated the Padawan.
"You still have much to learn, my young apprentice."
Anakin and Mary stood before the Twelve Jedi. Mace Windu held a small hand-held viewing screen. In rapid succession, images flashed across the screen.
"A ship... a cup... a ship... a speeder." the twins said at the same time.
Mace Windu turned the viewing screen off and nodded toward Yoda.
"Hmm... how feel you?" asked Yoda.
"Cold, sir." said Mary, "Hot, sir." continued Anakin.
"Afraid are you?"
"No, sir." they replied.
"See through you, we can." said Yoda.
"Be mindful of your feelings..." replied Mace.
"Your thoughts dwell on your mother." said Ki-Adi.
"We miss her."
"Afraid to lose her... I think, hmm?" asked Yoda.
"Yes, sir." answered Mary.
"What's that got to do with anything?" said Anakin angrily.
"Everything. Fear is the path to the dark side... fear leads to anger... anger leads to hate... hate leads to suffering... I sense much fear in you." said Yoda.
Anakin, Mary, Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon stood before the Twelve Members of the Jedi Council.
"The Force is strong with them." said Ki-Adi.
"They're to be trained, then?" asked Qui-Gon.
The Council Members looked to one another.
"No. They will not be trained." said Mace.
Anakin and Mary were crestfallen and Anakin stared at Mace.
"They are too old."
"They are the chosen ones... you must see it." said Qui-Gon.
"Clouded, this kids' future is." said Yoda.
"I will train them, then. I take Anakin and Mary as my Padawan learners." said Qui-Gon.
Obi-Wan reacted with surprise. Anakin watched with interest and Mary was shocked.
