The Perfect Jedi • Anakin Skywalker

Ch 12: Jedi Spy

I walked into the council as everyone stared at me.

"We need a spy" Mace said.

"Okay?" I said. "I'm really not the best option for that."

"It involves Rush Clovis" Kit Fisto said.

"Oh, no" I said. "I hated that mission, so much."

"Yes, well, we all know he has- uh romantic feelings for you" Mace said. "We believe he's working with the Separatists and we'll need you to get that information."

"No" I said. "I won't."

I walked out ignoring their words. I went to my quarters as Anakin walked in with flowers. I smiled, running towards him. I wrapped my arms around his body. He picked me up, setting me on the bed as his comm began beeping.

"Obi-Wan can wait" he said.

The beeping continued on as he groaned.

"Ugh" he said.

"You should probably go" I said.

"I just got back to you" he said.

"It's probably important, go" I said.

He kissed my cheek before running out. The next morning came fast as Cal and I walked down the hall.

"Why do they want you to spy on him?" He asked.

"It's complicated, Cal" I said.

I turned around as Anakin ran in between us.

"Uhhh, Cal, Ahsoka is looking for you outside" he said.

"For what?" Cal asked.

"Just go" he snapped.

Cal walked away as Anakin grabbed my arm.

"So tell me about your dealings with Senator Clovis" he said.

I laughed, pulling my arm away from him.

"So they got you to try and convince me to spy on him?" I asked.

"How well do you know Clovis?" He asked. "Clearly well enough for them to choose you even though you are a Jedi."

"I was sent to protect him for a couple of weeks" I said. "He doesn't know I'm a Jedi. They told him I was hired by the Republic from an outside party."

"When?" He asked.

"Right before I turned nineteen" I said.

"So we were together then" he said.

"I have never had feelings for anyone besides you, Anakin" I said.

"What does he think your name is?" He asked. "Because clearly you didn't give him your real name."

"He thinks my name is Leia" I said. "Leia Onara, to be exact."

"That's your fake name!" He said. "And he believed it, it literally sounds like your real name."

"I needed something I'd actually remember" I said.

"He's working with the Banking Clan" he said. "You're not doing it."

"And why's that?" I asked.

"It's dangerous" he said.

"You've got to be kidding me" I said. "I've been in far more dangerous missions than this. Is it because he had feelings for me?"

"I just-" he said.

"I'll be fine, Anakin" I said.

I walked away, going towards the council chambers. Mace, Yoda and Obi-Wan sat on their chairs as I stood before them.
