City Sights

After the two exited, the conversation continued.

Typho: Well, I know I feel a lot better having you here. I'll have an officer situated on every floor and I'll be at the control center downstairs.

Jar Jar: Mesa busten wit happiness seein yousa again, Ani. Deesa bad times, bombad times.

Captain Typho leaves.

Anakin: She hardly recognized me, Jar Jar. I've thought about her every day since we parted... and she's forgotten me completely.

Jar Jar: Shesa happy. Happier den mesa seein her in longo time.

Y/N: Look Ani, she didn't recognize you because it's been ten years. You look like a completely different person than you used to. We both do.

Anakin: Yeah, but she recognized you!

Y/N: That's because of my stunning good looks. No one could forget those.

Obi-Wan: Y/N is right. Anakin, you're focusing on the negative again. Be mindful of your thoughts. She was pleased to see us. Now let's check the security here.

Anakin: Yes, my master.

Y/N turns to Obi-Wan.

Y/N: So he can listen?

Obi-Wan stifles a chuckle. Anakin grimaces and elbows Y/N on the way past him.

An armor-clad bounty hunter, waits on the ledge of a skyscraper as another bounty hunter, Zam Wesell, a changeling, steps from her hovering speeder and approaches Fett.

Zam Wesell: I hit the ship, but they used a decoy.

Assassin: We'll have to try something more subtle this time, Zam. My client is getting impatient.

The armored person hands Zam a transparent tube that's about a foot long containing centipede-like kouhuns.

Assassin: Take these. Be careful. They're very poisonous.

Zam attaches her veil across the bottom of her face. She turns to leave, but the assassin calls her back.

Assassin: Zam, there can be no mistakes this time.

She turns again, and walks toward her speeder.

The vast Jedi Temple sits on an endless flat plain, silhouetted against the traffic-filled sky.

Mace Windu and Yoda walk down the long hallway, silhouetted by a single lit room at the end.

Mace Windu: Why couldn't we see this attack on the Senator coming?

Yoda: Masking the future, is this disturbance in the Force.

Mace Windu: The prophecy is coming true, the Dark Side is growing.

Yoda: And only those who have turned to the Dark Side can sense the possibilities of the future.

Mace Windu: It's been ten years, and the Sith still have yet to show themselves again.

Yoda: ...Out there, they are. A certainty that is.

There's a long silence as they walk away. Only footsteps are heard.

Anakin and Y/n are sitting in the living room. Anakin is milling around. Y/N is in a meditative state. It is quiet. They hear distant footsteps in the corridor outside the apartment. Suddenly Y/N's eyes pop wide open. They dart around the room.
