Kyrre's Dabbling in Writing : Fanfiction : StarWars? : Acquisition

Acquisition


Rating: PG
Date: July 2005
Category: Star Wars – Sith AU drabble
Word Count: 100 including title
Character(s): Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan
Notes: Backstory to my Sith AU. Because I discussed with murasaki99 how Sith Lords might acquire their apprentices. This drabble is condensed from an old fragment I found on my hard drive.
Disclaimer: All things Star Wars belong to George Lucas.

“You think we should take the boy with us.”


“His potential is too great to waste it. Or to risk that another becomes aware of him.”


“That's of course true. And I believe that Anakin would make a good apprentice.”


Obi-Wan stiffened, then forced himself to relax. Maybe it was a test. And if Qui-Gon wanted to replace him he couldn't do anything at all. “Then I will speak with Watto about the boy and his mother.”


“What interests me Shmi? I have already purchased Anakin. However, if he wins the race I will take his mother too.”
