Anakin found himself laying in a field wearing his orange flight suit and black jacket having no idea where he was or how he got there. Above him, the sun was shining and seemed to be at it's peak height indicating that it was midday and small animals were traveling through the grass either looking for food or on the run because they were the food to other animals. As the young Solo stood up, he could sense that something wasn't right with the Force as it had felt different from before with the light and dark aspects of the Force struggling for control. Sensing a large group of being strong in the lightside of the Force, Anakin headed towards their general direction hoping that they were friendly and had some idea what was going on. As he walked, Anakin ran what happened in his mind over and over again attempting to make sense of the situation he was in. Last thing he remembered was being on the Exquisite Death and killing the Yuuzhan Vong and the voxyn along side the strike team he was leading to take out the voxyn queen and cloning facility since they were specifically designed to hunt and kill Jedi. And after taking over the ship everything went dark and he found himself in the field.
Anakin knew that the Yuuzhan Vong weren't behind this since he would have sensed their presence with his vongsense and it would have made absolutely no sense for them to leave him in the middle of nowhere when they could have killed him or made him a slave. After walking for about an hour, Anakin's lips were a bit dry and he was starting to wonder how much farther he had to walk until he reached his intended destination. But his mind set changed when he saw a building off in the distance and he became excited as he had finally found the first signs of civilization. Using the Force to amplify his speed, Anakin ran towards the building moving at blur like speeds and as he got closer, he saw a droid standing outside the doors of the building and stopped running once he reached the droid. "Welcome to the Jedi Enclave of Dantooine. If you wish to speak with the Jedi, you'll have to set up an appointment" said the droid in a polite tone of voice.
"Dantooine? The Jedi don't have an enclave on Dantooine" said Anakin with a confused look on his face.

Siri hadn't been at the temple for long. Just a few weeks, in fact. In those weeks she struggled to adjust to her new reality. Things here were different and not just in terms of the technology. Here the Jedi were more relaxed about certain things like relationships and the like. This revelation brought up old feelings for Obi-Wan that she had long since thought were laid to rest. Still, the Jedi Council was demanding. Desperate to deal with the number of students compared to the number of teachers, they had firmly requested that she take on a student. Siri had protested but they had been quite clear that it was something they wanted her to do. But the memory of Ferus' departure from the Order was still fresh in her mind and hurt to think about. The Council of her time had honored her decision to not take on another student and respected it. But here she felt like a guest in her own order.
As much as Siri loved Obi-Wan, only seeing him for weeks on end wasn't exactly the healthiest thing for her. Siri needed alone time, time to think. Which was why she decided to take a walk just outside of the Temple. As she walked she considered how she might go about finding a student. One that would suit her, one that wouldn't betray her like the last. Siri disliked the idea of searching for one, even if she knew that one wouldn't simply fall out of the sky. As she came back from her walk, something grabbed her attention. Her senses kicked in. Something wasn't quite right. At the same time something caught her eye, a boy in a bright orange jump suit. Siri's eyebrow arched in surprise and she neared the young man who seemed equally as confused as he tried to speak to the droid.
"Hey-- kid!" she called, resting a few feet from him and placed her hand on her hips. "What are ya doing here? Lost or something?" Her voice was gruff, though no gruffer than it usually was.

"Yes they do. You are standing in front of it" replied the droid and before Anakin could respond back he heard a gruff feminine voice call out to him. From the voice alone, Anakin thought that the woman he was dealing with was going to be butch and when he turned around, to his surprise the woman who called out to him was actually very attractive and a Jedi. With the Jedi Praxeum destroyed on Yavin 4, Anakin couldn't help but wonder if the enclave on Dantooine was created as a replacement, but even that didn't make sense since as the apprentice and nephew of the leader of the Jedi Order, he would have heard about it from him. Then there is the fact that the Siri called him a kid which indicated that she had absolutely no idea who he was even though he was now a war hero and well liked by most Jedi, including the conservative ones. Plus there was expectations of him becoming the next Luke Skywalker.
"I don't know, the last thing I remembered was taking over an enemy vong ship with my strike team to infiltrate a worldship and destroy the voxyn cloning facility. The next thing I know, I find myself laying in the middle of an empty field way out there" said Anakin before pointing towards the general direction of the field he woke up in. He would then cross his arms in front of his chest before saying "But more importantly, what are you doing on Dantooine? Did Luke Skywalker set up an enclave here after the Jedi Praxeum was destroyed by the vong on Yavin 4?" Unknown to the young Jedi, what he was saying to Siri probably made absolutely no sense since the Yuuzhan Vong had not made their presence known in this time or even Siri's own time. And of course there was no Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4.

Siri's face remained impassive. She stared the boy down with her icy blue eyes. The boy carried a seemingly undeserved sense of importance that Siri found horribly off putting. The only thing about him she found more annoying than his shock that she didn't know who he was was his jump suit. If he was trying to blend in he was doing a horrific job at it. However, she pushed those thoughts aside and listened to what it was he had to say. At first nothing he said made sense. She had no idea what a Vong was or what sort of battle he could be talking about. As far as she knew the current time was relatively peaceful... but then it dawned on her. What if he wasn't from this time?
"But more importantly, what are you doing on Dantooine? Did Luke Skywalker set up an enclave here after the Jedi Praxeum was destroyed by the vong on Yavin 4?"
Siri held up her hand to stop him. Again, the boy seemed to have a strange sense of importance and authority that did not fit his age.
"Please, stop talking," she told him firmly and took a deep breath. Why was she the one having this conversation? She was not the right person to hand hold this kid through the shock of being thrown back in time. Where was that red headed Jedi Healer with the care baskets when you needed her? Siri sighed and crossed her arms over her chest. "I don't know who this Luke Skywalker guy is but he doesn't give me or anyone else here orders. The only Skywalker I know is Anakin Skywalker." She glanced around, searching for someone-- anyone who was better at explaining this than she was. Siri wasn't one to comfort people and if this kid reacted like how she had then he'd need it. "Alright, better question, what year do you think it is?"

Anakin became silent when the blond haired woman raised her hand and told him to stop talking and what he could tell, she couldn't make sense of anything he was saying and seemed to find him annoying. She would then cross her arms across her chest and told him that she had no idea who this Luke Skywalker was and that the only Skywalker she knew was Anakin Skywalker. More importantly, she claimed that Luke didn't give her or anybody else orders. Questions began to pop up in Solo's mind since it was now public knowledge that Darth Vader was in fact Anakin Skywalker and those that did know this also knew that Luke Skywalker was the one who defeated him in combat and rebuilt the Jedi Order after it was destroyed decades before by the Emperor. So pretty much every single Jedi knew of Luke Skywalker since he was the order's founder. Anakin couldn't help but notice how was glancing around as if she was searching for someone else to speak to him aside from her.
"It's 27 ABY. But what does the year have anything to do this and how can you not know who Luke Skywalker is? He's our leader and the one who rebuilt the very order that you serve" said Anakin trying to make sense of the situation. Everybody, including those who lived under a rock knew who his uncle was for the role he played in overthrowing the Empire. The fact that a Jedi didn't know this was very puzzling to Anakin since out of all of the Jedi that were alive, he was the most important and well known.

The boy's answered confirmed what Siri had suspected. He too was a victim of the mysterious time slip and she was the unlucky one to break it to him. With a heavy sigh she ran her hand through her blonde hair, messing it up. Where did she even begin? Would the kid cry? Throw a fit? Siri wasn't quite prepared to deal with whatever kind of emotion was about to come out. Additionally it seemed that the kid came from the future, even by Siri's standards. The fact that the leader of the Jedi was a Skywalker as well made her wonder if the Anakin's family was a little more extended than that of Anakin and his mother. She took another deep breath and shot a dangerous look at the droid who for the most just stared at them.
"Wanna give us some space?" she asked the droid, giving it a gesture to leave. As the droid quietly left the two of them alone, Siri turned her attention back to the boy who was still confused. With one more exasperated sigh she rubbed her face and decided to just get it over with. "This is going to sound impossible but I am going to need you to listen to me and listen carefully. You are a long ways from home. Right now the year is 1,000 AHW," Siri held up her hand hoping it would keep the boy from interrupting her. "There has been some kind of disturbance in the Force and this sort of thing has been happening a lot. It happened to me too, I'm from the Clone Wars." Now all there was to do was wait and see if the boy fainted or not.

Anakin watched the as the woman ran her hand through her hand trying to figure out what she was going to say to him before suddenly shooting a dangerous look at the droid and asked to give the two some space. Note to self, stay on her good sidethought Anakin as the droid walked away from the two. He couldn't help but think of how C-3PO would react to a situation like this as he would most likely have fled away from the scene in order to avoid upsetting her again. After rubbing her face and taking a deep sigh before telling him that he was in the year 1,000 AHW. "Wha!" The teen stopped himself from finishing his response the second he saw her hand and listened to what she had to see next. As he listened to her explain there was some kind of disturbance in the Force that has been taking people from other timelines into this time period, including her, Anakin could sense that she was telling the truth.
This of course made Anakin experience a flood of emotions like the concern of his friends that were part of his strike team and the possibility of never seeing his loved ones there. But instead of being overwhelmed by these emotions, Anakin took a deep breath calling upon the calming energies of the Force to center himself. "Well, that would explain how you know my grandfather and not my uncle" said Anakin as he tilted his head and took a brief pause. "So what have the Jedi discovered? Maybe there is something I can do to help" said Anakin wanting to get to work in order to get back in his own time.

To the boy's credit, he was handling this better than she had when Obi-Wan told her about the time slip. Siri allowed herself to admire that much of him, though his information about his time quickly pulled those thoughts out of her mind. The mention of Anakin Skywalker startled Siri once again. This kid was Anakin;s grandson? She didn't see how that was possible seeing as how Anakin was a Jedi and as a Jedi he was forbidden from having a wife or children. Her eyes narrowed but she opted to not say another word about that matter. She planned to tell Obi-Wan about it, though. Maybe there was something going on that they needed to address. Then again, seeing as how her relationship with Obi-Wan was less than Jedi-like perhaps it wasn't her place.
"So what have the Jedi discovered? Maybe there is something I can do to help"
Siri shook her head. Unfortunately no one had figured out how people were being pulled back to this time or why. Without the how it would be impossible to replicate the process. They why was less important to returning home and more important to putting many people's minds at rest. Unfortunately for the kid there was nothing he could do to help, or at least not yet. He like so many others were stuck.
"Sorry, kid," she shrugged. "The Jedi know nothing about what's going on so there is nothing to be done yet. What you do from here on out is up to you. You can join the current Order or you can go on your way and hope to find the answers elsewhere." Siri could sense that the boy had a strong connection to the Force, just like his grandfather. The boy was probably a Jedi but if he wasn't they would certainly take him. It was then she realized that she didn't know his name and he didn't know hers. "My name is Siri Tachi, and unless you want me to keep calling you 'kid' I suggest you give me your name too. No matter what option you choose I have to report your appearance to the Jedi Council and to Obi-Wan."

Anakin noticed how Siri's eyes narrow the after he mentioned to her that he was the grandson of Anakin Skywalker and couldn't help but wonder if he said something wrong. After asking about what he could do to help, the blond haired woman told the boy that the Jedi do not know what's going on and that what he did now was up to him. He could either join the current order or go out on his own in hopes to find the answer to all of this himself. This of course was a no brainer to Anakin since as powerful as he was, there were limits to what he could do alone and it did not help that he knew nobody in this time line and he wasn't sure if the Jedi of this time period would even give him a ship to leave the planet. She would the tell Anakin that her name was Siri Tachi and suggested that if he wanted her to stop calling him kid, he should tell her his name. She also mentioned whatever choice he made, she would have to report him to the Jedi Council and to Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"Obi-Wan's here? Do you think I'll be able to meet him? I've heard such great things about him from my uncle and even based the design of my lightsaber off of his" asked Anakin looking rather excited and enthusiastic about the possibility of meeting the famed Jedi Master. After all, it was him that introduced his uncle to the Force creating a chain of events that led to the fall of the Empire and the restoration of the destroyed Jedi Order.
"Oh, by the way, my name is Anakin Solo. It's nice to meet you Siri" said Anakin with a friendly smile on his face as he extended his right hand towards her hoping that she would shake his hand.

Immediately, Siri regretted dropping Obi-Wan's name into the conversation. She hadn't expected the boy to actually know who he was and yet he knew the man. He even seemed to know him well enough that he had had a profound impact on his family. Made sense seeing as how he was Anakin's grandson. How that whole thing worked out was a still a bit of a mystery to Siri but she kept it to herself. She kept her severe face on the boy and glanced towards the temple. "Oh, by the way, my name is Anakin Solo. It's nice to meet you Siri" To this she merely grunted, not one for pleasantries. Instead she gestured with her head for him to follow her. The two made their way towards the temple and away from the grassy field the boy had landed in. Even though Siri hadn't been at the temple long, she had come to know her way around. At the very least she knew her way to Obi-Wan's chambers. That's where she anticipated he might be. Obi-Wan was a creature of habit and since he wasn't training his student or on a mission Siri was willing to bet he was either meditating privately or practicing somewhere. She glanced back to make sure Anakin was keeping up. "His room is just up ahead of here," she informed him. "I'll see if he's willing to have a chat with you." With that she took a few long strides ahead and rapped on the door. "Obi-Wan, are you there? It's me...we need to talk."

((O.O.C --- You double posted XD))
He had spent the majority of his morning in meditation, keeping to his chambers. He had only left so far for breakfast in the dinning hall, but then had returned deciding it was best to continue meditating on a few things for a while before he went with the rest of his training routine... having had some extra time for the day. Normally he would have used this time to read something or other, but today he had felt otherwise inclined just to meditate for a while.
Not long after returning though, his meditation was interrupted by a knocking on the door. That alone was distinct enough and familiar that he almost immediately knew who was at his door. Since she had come out of the time slip, Siri and Obi-Wan had spent a lot of time together... aside from missions they were barely separable. It was little surprise then that he could tell who was at his door knocking, and the voice behind it was even more recognizable. A faint smirk tugged at the edge of his lips, before he opened his eyes, stretching only lightly before he let his feet touch the floor and crossed the room to his door. It was only a few steps from his bed, the rooms being very small, so he wasn't keeping her waiting for more then a second or two... still she sounded like whatever was causing this interruption was urgent.
He reached out, pressing the button on the side of the door, it splitting open down the middle as he peeked out, seeing Siri standing there looking up to him. Over her shoulder was a boy, his clothes seeming to be of a different style. "Siri?" He asked, tilting his head a little as he looked to her again, folding his arms in front of him. "What's wrong?" He added before anything could be said.

Luckily Obi-Wan was home. Siri hadn't particularly felt like chasing him all over the temple anyway. From the look on his face and the way he crossed his arms over his chest like a disgruntled old man told her that he knew something was amiss. Perhaps ha had felt the shift in the Force as the boy had come through the time slip. Or maybe he was concerned about her being here with a young man. She glanced over her shoulder at the boy who waited behind her patiently. Her eyes turned back to him and she leaned in closer, closer than was strictly necessary to whisper to Obi-Wan. "He came through the time slip, I think he's from further in the future than us," she told him hesitating before continue on. "He says his name is Anakin Solo and that your apprentice is his grandfather. He seems to know you and wanted to speak with you." Her eyes lingered on Obi-Wan's for a moment, watching for his reaction before turning back to Anakin's. She beckoned the boy closer, assuming that any questions Obi-Wan had could be better answered by him. "Allow me to introduce to you Master Obi-Wan Kenobi."

Anakin's smile dropped when Siri simply grunted after his introduction and didn't even shake his hand. She would then gesture him to follow her into the temple. Once they entered the temple, Anakin took notice of the Jedi that were training there and it kind of reminded him of his time at Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 before it was destroyed by the Vong which made him smile out of nostalgia. After all, this was during a time when everything seemed so much simpler to him and before the war made him take his duties as a Jedi more seriously. Combined with the pressure that came from the expectations of many Jedi to be the next Luke Skywalker, Anakin had a lot of weight on his shoulders for a sixteen year old. When Siri told him that Obi-Wan's room was up ahead, his heart began to race since he would never in his wildest dreams think that he would meet Ben Kenobi since he had been dead for over a decade in his time. He watched as the female Jedi master knocked on the door before the door slid open revealing a man with a brown beard.
This took Anakin back a little since he expected an old wizard with a white beard, not a man in his 30s. He watched as Siri whisper into Obi-Wan's ear which gave him the impression that they were hiding something from him, which was something he didn't like. After all, why would they have to whisper that the grandson of his apprentice? "Is it really necessary to whisper to him who I am?" asked Anakin with his arms crossed indicating that he disproved. Siri would then beckon to the boy to come to the door which he did and was now face to face with the legend himself. Feeling the need to be polite, Anakin gave a brief bow before saying "It's an honor to meet you Master Kenobi. I've heard nothing but great things about you from my uncle"

((O.O.C --- sorry if this sucks, i wrote it once, and lost the post.))
Within only a moment, Siri was edging closer to him to whisper into his ear and explain that not only was this boy's name Anakin, but he was a direct descendant of Obi-Wan's former apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. Obi-Wan arched his brow in surprise at the news, taking a moment to consider exactly what this would have meant. He had always known that Anakin had always had a hard time with attachments, relationships and letting go... but he was still surprised somehow that anything had actually come of it. He had a feeling who was involved with all of this too besides just Anakin too.
He sighed a little bit, this Anakin making it clear that he wasn't a fan of the two of them whispering. Siri was quick to change the tone and introduce them, Obi-Wan returning the bow to her with a small and warm smile. "Hello there." He greeted the boy, pausing to give a sigh as he looked to him for a moment, thinking things over before he waved his arm with a sweeping motion and stepped out of the way of the door, allowing both of them to enter. "Please come in, i'm sure we both have much to talk about." He explained, having stepped out of the way now.
Once inside the room, the would see everything was neat and organized. His Bed was made up nice, his cloak folded neatly at the foot of the bed and laying over the chest that the Enclave provided for personal belongings. On the wall was a shelf, Obi-Wan's clone wars era armor sitting neatly on it and Qui-Gon's lightsaber hanging right there beside it. Obi-Wan himself crossed in the opposite direction after shutting the door behind the two of them, speaking over his shoulder both to Siri and the Newer Anakin. "Do either of you need a drink?" He asked, reaching for a simple yet elegant looking tea cup for himself, but was posed to pick up another if either of them wanted some.

"Is it really necessary to whisper to him who I am?"
You're forward, aren't you?
Siri scowled slightly but stepped aside to let the boy speak for himself. He was excited to see Obi-Wan, though Siri sensed he was slightly surprised by what he saw. She wondered if Obi-Wan was as confused about the kid's knowledge of him as she was. There was no telling how far in the future the kid was from or in what capacity this uncle of his had known him. Obi-Wan was a great Jedi, Siri wouldn't argue that, but this kid made him sound like some kind of legend.
Siri followed Obi-Wan and Anakin into the room where they could have the reunion privately. Siri looked around the familiar room. She had been in there a number of times since the slip and it was as if nothing had changed. She smirked as she thought about how obsessive the other Jedi was about keeping his living space in order. Her younger self might have purposefully put something out of place to watch him squirm. She didn't, not this time at least. Now they had to focus on Anakin and trying to unravel the mystery that was the Skywalker lineage.
"Do either of you need a drink?"
"No," Siri answered shortly, taking up a spot in the corner of the room. While she was the one to have found the boy, this was not a conversation she was meant to be overly involved in. She was sure that the two of them had many questions for the other. She remained there as support-- mostly support for Obi-Wan as he dealt with the knowledge that somehow his padawan had reproduced. The two of them had come from the future and so far there was no one yet to show up who was from beyond their time. That is until now. She wondered if Anakin would tell them the future and what that future might mean. Something in Siri's gut refused to let her be completely at ease. The arrival of Anakin's grandson meant something but she just didn't know what it meant yet.
