Tahiri had taken to her new life in this time line like a duck took to water. There was something fun about making a plan then starting to see it through, though this plan for Jacen to rise up to power would take a while; year’s most likely; it was still interesting to see it unfold. No one knew of course who he really was or even what Tahiri was, no they saw him as a new senator and she was nothing more than his assistant. That was the reason she was here on Dantooie today, she had come on the behalf of Jacen to extend a hand of friendship to the Jedi council. This of course was just a ploy, to throw the Jedi off as well it was a chance to see if the Jedi in fact had felt the presents of the sith; or had they been so concerned with the time split that they had not realized anything. Tahiri spent the whole day there, meeting with different members of the council, assuring them Jacen’s desire to do what he could in his power to help the republic and so on. Not once did they realize that she was a Sith apprentice; she had learned to hide the darkness in her well enough and she was good at not appearing to be anything other then what she wanted them to see. It wasn’t easy to trick the Jedi masters, she was sure they could still since the force within her but they didn’t know the extent. If asked she would be truthful; to a point; she had been trained as a Jedi but gave up the order to pursue another career path. They would not think anything with that, there were many who left the order to just have a normal life. The meetings had gone well and Tahiri knew that Jacen would be happy with her report. She said her goodbyes and decided to take the longer way back to her transport. It was good to see this place again, she had spent many years training here, though it was a lot different than after all it was way in the future that she would come and things tended to change over years. Still Tahiri couldn’t help but smile slightly at a few things that were familiar and the memories they brought up. Anakin Solo

After ending up on Dantooine, Anakin was able to settle in this time period with relative ease thanks to the aid of the current Jedi Order. Due to his powerful connection to the Force, many Jedi were amazed at the boy's natural talents, especially some of the master's who were amazed at the fact that he not only knows battle meditation, but also Force meld. After all, the later of the two could only be used by master's with great power. There were some however who were wary about Anakin feeling that someone as young as him isn't ready to have that kind of power and natural talent making him at risk to be seduced by the darkside. However, as the grandson of a Sith lord, Anakin knew too well the dangers of the darkside and had no intentions of falling to the darkside like his namesake. He had also heard that his grandfather was also winded up in this time period and was part of the current order, however he had yet to meet his grandfather yet and a part of him was afraid to even meet him and discover that the too were very similar. Today, Anakin attended a few classes that padawans could take during their down time which and while some of them were boring to him due to his natural talent, he did find a few interesting. In particular Anakin found the lesson on moving meditation to be very fascinating since he could use his mechanical skills as a form of meditation. After the classes were over, Anakin had a meal at the Enclave's dinning eating with some of the padwan's he had met in his classes. When the meal was over, Anakin left the dinning hall with an apple in his hand wanting to head back to his room and meditate on the events of today. As he walked, he took small bites from his apple and looked at some of the other students training which reminded him the training Tahiri and him went through when they were younger. He would then stop and watched as two apprentices practiced a series of lightsaber sequences from the shii-cho using the same moves over and over again as they constantly increased their speed. The duel was ended when one of the apprentice's struck the other's arm and shouted "Solah!. Once the duel ended, Anakin turned around and accidentally bumped into a woman with blond hair and scars on her forehead. "Sorry about that, I sh" said Anakin before pausing at the realization that the woman before him was an older version Tahiri Veila. While one could make the argument that the woman just happened to look like his best friend who he has romantic feelings for, Anakin knew from her presence in the Force alone that this was her. But his instincts were telling him that something was off. His mouth was open for a bit after he made that realization and after a few seconds, Anakin asked with a hint of excitement in his voice "Tahiri, is that you?"Tahiri Veila

It was nice to see where she had first learned how to use the force, and even think of some of the memories that it brought up. There were after all so many wonderful memories of when she had been but a young woman; most of those memories of course included her first love Anakin. They had become friends at a young age and slowly it blossom into something more. She remembered their first kiss and how everything just seemed perfect, but then he had died. He had died a hero saving her and many others by giving himself up, and Tahiri was left feeling angry with herself for not kissing him before he went into danger. It was thanks to Jacen however and his power with Flow Walking that she had been able to go into the past and convince her past self to kiss Anakin; which brought her a little comfort but also put her feet on the path she was traveling.
Turning quickly, both on the sights around her and trying to get away from the memories that were being dug up, Tahiri bumped into a person. “I’m sorry.” She muttered quickly not looked up, until she heard her name. Tahiri looked up quickly for she knew that voice but the young man standing before her caused her to just stare. The very man she had just been thinking about was there in front of her, eating an apple and clearly with a surprised look as well. Tahiri didn’t say anything for a while but just looked at him, her heart feeling as if it had stopped as well as time.
Her mind was not willing to except that he was in fact here, after all how many times had she seen him when he wasn’t really there before. She sighed slightly and shook her head, “This is a curl trick my mind has decided to play on me, I wish you were here Anakin.” She wasn’t able to look at him now, not wanting herself to be tricked into believe he was real; for how many times had she wished that already.

For a good minute, the two were completely silent as Anakin waited for a response from the woman that he loved. He looked into the woman's eyes as he took a bite from his apple and knew immediately that this Tahiri and figured that she must have came from his future. When she figured that he mind was playing tricks on her and that she wished Anakin was here, the boy raised his right eye brow in confusion as he was having trouble deciphering what she meant by that. How could she not think I'm real when I'm standing in front of her? thought Anakin as she watched her turn away as if the very sight of him was painful for her. The only two reasons that Anakin could think of was that she either missed being apart from the Anakin in her time line or that something terrible happened to him. Being confident like his father, Anakin figured that it was highly unlikely that something terrible would happen to him, especially since Ikrit told Anakin that something great would be born in him and Tahli.
Anakin would then guide her head with his head so that he could look into her eyes again and noticed the slight glimpse of the pain and sorrow in her eyes making him feel sorry for her. He would then lean in closer and pressed his lips against her's as he kissed her figuring that it would be a nice way of telling her that the boy standing before her was real and was still very much in love with her. After kissing her, Anakin broke away with a loving smile on his face before crossing his arms and said "Does that prove that I'm real? If not, I could always just pinch you on the cheek like in they do in some of those holovids"

Tahiri was cursing the fact that she had come here now, it was clearly too painful to once again return to the place she had once called home. There had been so many wonderful memories that was true but it also brought up the painful ones. Of course she knew she was living in the past now, how could she not know after the tunnel that had suck her into this new world, but she believed that it had only been connected to the time she had been living in to this one. It didn’t not accrue to her that other timelines would be effected and dragged into this new world, she had yet to hear about other case as well. So it wasn’t hard to believe that she didn’t think he was real; though part of her was hopping that this might be a sign she was learning how to do Flow Walk.
What happen to prove that he was in fact real however caught Tahiri off guard. She had turned away, ready to leave this place and not come back unless Jacen need her too; but she wouldn’t walk the grounds again. The lips on hers were gentle and though it had been years since their last kiss she knew the feeling well. Before she could react however the kiss was already over and Anakin was pulling away, smiling and crossing his arms. Tahiri stood there for a while, his kiss still burning on her lips, as she looked at him fully now. He was really here, she didn’t know how but Anakin was standing before her right now looking the same way he had the day they had said goodbye. Tears began to fill her eyes slightly as she looked at him. “How?’

When Anakin saw tears beginning to fill her eyes and asked how he was here, his instincts told him that something bad must have happened to him in Tahiri's past due to the reaction she was giving. And unfortunately, the boy found that his instincts were right most of the time which he found very unsettling in this case as it was something that he hoped his instincts were wrong about. After all, who would want to discover that they die young? "The same way that you did. You see, people from various points of this time period's future having been appearing here while some people from this time period have been suddenly disappearing. The only clue the Jedi have is that a great disturbance in the Force is causing this" explained Anakin giving her all the information he knew.
He would then walk up to Tahili and hugged her with his head resting upon her shoulder. "Don't worry, everything is going to be alright now that I'm here for you" said Anakin hoping to comfort her.

Tahiri couldn’t believe that Ankin was standing in front of her, the man she had loved for so many years and thought about every day since he died was standing in front of her alive. Tahiri reached out and touched Anakins face to once again make sure that he was real. He looked just as she remembered him, which meant if his story was true he had traveled from the time right before his death to here. Tahiri wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes as they held each other. Oh how she had long to do this again for so long, how long had she wished to see him again to feel his arms around her and now he was here. After all their years apart they were together, after all she had done to see him again and her wish had finally come true.
All that she had done… the memories of the path she had taken to try and change her past for Anakin to live hit her square in the gut. She had turned to the dark side, become a sith and betrayed people who had once trust her. All in the name to get Anakin back. Tahiri grip loosen slightly on Anakin as she thought of everything and how he would soon find out what she had done. There was no way to hide it after all, granted she didn’t need to tell him now. No that can wait, right now she could just enjoy the fact he was alive. Of course she couldn’t keep this to herself, she would have to tell Jacen he had missed Anakin almost as much as she did.

Anakin looked deep into Tahiri's eyes as she touched his face to make sure that t he boy standing before him was real before going in for the hug. As the boy hugged the woman he loved, he could feel her arms wrapping tightly around him as if she never wanted to let him escape from her life again. But the grip did eventually loosen which gave Anakin the assumption that she was going to release him soon, but to his suprise he was wrong. The two remained in each other's graps for a good few minutes and people around them began to take notice and even whisper. "So Tahrir, I take it that something bad happens to me in the future?" asked Anakin hoping that his gut feeling was wrong and that she was just upset from being apart from him for a short period of time. Even if his gut feeling was true, Anakin figure that the knowledge of his death would allow him to change his fate/

Tahiri closed her eyes as she hugged him, her memory allowing her a brief moment to enjoy that he was back in her arms; allowing her to melt away the years of pain that had separated them. It didn’t last forever however as her mind did fill with the memories of losing him and what she had done to try to be with him again. That was when she loosen her grip but she wasn’t willing to let him go just yet. She had fought for so long to be in his arms again that she wasn’t about to let him slip away so quickly.
It was at his whispered question that she closed her eyes tighter, wanting to shut out the memories of their last goodbye again. “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t have to happen now.. now that you’re alive and that you’re here. We can make sure that you never have to die.” She was of course talking about herself and Jacen; after all that was why they were fighting to make a better future so that Anakin didn’t have to die. So that no one would have to.

Anakin lightly patted her back in order to comfort her after her grip loosened a bit. But he was still in her arms since she wasn't willing to let him go. After whispering his question, his love told him that it didn't matter since it doesn't have to happen and now that he was alive, they could make sure that he never had to die. The boy naturally assumed that the "we" included himself and her since he would be able to change his fate with the knowledge from the future. He would then take his head off of Tahiri's shoulder and looked into her green eyes once more with his blue eyes full of love and optimism for the possible future that laid before them. A future where he did not die and was living happily together with Tahiri and the rest of his family. He would kiss her on the lips passionately yet again with the kiss lasting for a good minute. When Anakin broke away from the kiss, he looked into her eyes yet again and said "Tahriri, I love you and with you knowledge of the future, I'm sure that we'll find a way to save me so that we can be together. But you're going to have to tell me how I die so that I can take precautions"

Tahiri kept her arms around him until he pulled back, though her arms never did leave him even when they looked at each other for a while. She could see the optimism in his eyes while he looked at her, and part of her felt that as well. Now that he was alive she could make sure that he wouldn’t die, she knew how to do that now though it had required her to take steps and do things she never would have dreamed of. If it kept Anakin alive so that their future could be together then she didn’t care, the problem now was facing the fact that he would have to learn of all that she had done. That in the years of his death she had changed.
As Anikin kissed Tahiri again, she closed her eyes and returned it with her own longing. She had wanted to kiss him like this for years, but once again there was something else in the back of her mind that was nagging at her. She couldn’t put a name on it but something told her she had no right to kiss him like this anymore, that she had no right to long to be with him. He had been dead to her for so long, and now she was willing to open that old wound again.
“I love you too Anakin.” She whispered her voice faltering slightly as she looked at him shaking her head as he told her she needed to tell him what had happen so that it wouldn’t happen again. “I don’t think I could.” She answered looking away, “But Jacen might.” Yes Jacen might be able to help, after all he missed his brother just as much as she had missed Anakin; he would do anything to make sure Anakin lived again as well.

Anakin cloed his eyes as he enjoyed the kiss sensing that she longed for this after all of these years being dead. But something in the back of his head was telling him that something was wrong with Tahiri, which was the possibility that this could be very unhealthy for her. After all, he was dead in her timeline and him being here could be very damaging to her, especially if the two were unable to change Anakin's fate. His best friend would then whisper to Anakin that she also loved him, which made him smile since this was the first time she has every admitted this feeling to him. Even after telling her his feelings when they thought that they were going to die. "Oh.." said Anakin with a hint of disappointment in his voice when she told him that she might be unable to tell him. But when she turned away and said that Jacen might be able to tell him which made his jaw drop since she just indicated that his own brother was here in this timeline too. Which was something that Anakin found odd since he should have been able to sense his brother through the bond that they share.
"Jacen's here? Why can't I sense him and has he made any contact with the Jedi of this era yet?" asked Anakin feeling a bit excited at the possibility that his own brother was here. Sure he would be at least 10 years older like Tahiri, but it was nice to see people that he actually met in person instead of people who have been long dead in his timeline like Obi-Wan and Siri.

No she couldn’t tell him what had happen, not because she didn’t know what had happen. No Tahiri knew all too well what had happen, it was just the fact she didn’t want to live it over again. She had to live it over in her dreams many nights already. She knew he was disappointed when she wouldn’t tell him what had happen, but she hoped he would understand. The disappointment didn’t last long once she told him that Jacen was here as well.
Anakin’s face went from disappointment to shock, the fact that his brother was in the same timeline but he hadn’t been able to feel his presents was causing Anakin some worry. Tahiri however knew why he couldn’t feel his brother, Jacen had learned how to control the force in a way so others couldn’t feel him; it was how he kept his sister from finding him again. Not to mention the Jacen that Anakin knew was no longer the same man, neither was Tahiri.
“That is why I am here, I came here to talk to the Jedi council on the behalf of your brother.” She wasn’t going to tell Anakin that Jacen was a Sith now, or that she was one either. That was better saved for later, no right now she would only keep up with the cover of Jacen being a Senator.

"On behalf of my brother? You're making it sound like you're representing him because he's in some sort of important position of power. Why isn't he here talking to the Jedi himself? asked Anakin as he crossed his arms getting the distinct feeling that something wasn't right. It made no sense for his not to be here himself when he's a Jedi that could do great good seeing how he was one of the order's best duelists and the fact that he was strong in the Force. Not as strong as Anakin of course, but still strong enough to be one of the greatest Jedi knights. Sure they disagree on the direction that the Jedi Order of their time should take, but even Anakin had to admit that his brother's insights proved to be very valuable as they were quite unorthodox. Still, he didn't like the general vibe he was getting from this whole situation and it was clearly shown on his face and his disapproving tone of voice.
"So, when do you think I'll be able to see my brother and why can't I sense him through our bond?" asked Anakin hoping that he would be able to see his brother soon and that Tahiri would give him an answer to his question.

Anakin was no longer in her arms, having pulled away as he question her about what she had just said about his brother. It had been a very vailed question, Jacen was or had been a Jedi so why wouldn’t he be here offering his services to the Jedi of this time himself. Of course he couldn’t, he wasn’t going to let them know he knew of the force or his connection to it, Jacen was a senator in this time; just a normal man wanting to make the world better with one step at a time. “Jacen, your brother, is a senator now. He decided he could help many people out in this time by becoming a senator; he was almost beg to do so. So yes I do represent him, I’m his assistant and this was just a simple meeting so I offered to handle it.” This was all true of course, though she was leaving out the part about Jacen being a sith now.
“I can take you to him now if you like, I was just on my way back home after I got done with my walk.” She answered almost excited for him to come with her. She was going to tell Jacen the moment she couldn’t about Anakin being a live but if she could bring him back to Jacen that would make it all the better. “I’m not sure about your connection, it could be due to the years you have been dead to him.” Tahiri knew the real reason, Jacen was keeping his force secret just as she was.
