Title: Left Behind
Author(s): StarWarsFreak
Characters:

Tahiri Veila: Jedi Learner/ one of the Sand People: Female Human, Age: 9/15
...and more.
Summary: What if Tahiri stayed on Tatooine?
Notes: Well, yeah. Plot bunnies bit me while I was writing A/T mush for one of my other fics. Funny how one can say the words, just not spell 'em...
Disclaimer: *cough* I don't own Star Wars. *cough*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Slavin had asked her the question Anakin had hoped would never come.
She was obviously torn with the descision, after all, if she said yes she would be able to be with other Jeid and her best friend. But if she said no she would be with the Sand People as before, the people she considered family. After all the adventures they had gone through together, how could she say no? She turned to Anakin.
"I'm sorry, Anakin," she turned back to Slavin. "No, I do not wish to stay with the Jedi." Anakin was stunned, had she really just said that?
Luke Skywalker bowed. "Very well, Tahiri. We respect your choice." Tionne knelt and hugged the girl.
"Don't forget your old friend, Blondie," Tionne whispered.
"I won't," Tahiri promised. She turned to her best friend. "Stay outta trouble, Dummy." She hugged him.
"You too," He tried to smile as she ran back to Slavin.
"Come on, Anakin. Let's go home," Luke encouraged his nephew. Anakin turned around and began to walk slowly back to the Lore Seeker. Just as he was walking up the ramp, he looked back.
Tahiri was standing alone in the desert, everyone else had gone inside their tents. She waved, he waved back sadly, then entered the craft.
Once they had taken off, Anakin seated himself in the very back and let the tears of regret trickle own his cheeks.
He had just left his best friend behind.

MORE SOON!

Oops! I forgot to give y'all more!!! Sorry!
-----------------------------------------------------
~6 Years Later~
Anakin walked into the briefing room calmly, although insdie he was jumping for joy. He had just been summoned to a meeting about a mission to Tatooine. He might be able to see his old friend, Tahiri. He was soon to find his hopes right.
"-the mission to Tatooine needs 5 Jedi, and my neohew, Anakin, has readily agreed. We need 4 more," Luke was saying immediately Jaina, Zekk, Jacen and Tenel Ka raised their hands. "There we have it." They were dismissed. Anakin turned to Luke.
"Sorry I was late, I had to come the long way to avoid a certain Twi'lek,"
"If you're not attracted to Alema, why don't you just tell her so?" Zekk asked.
"Apparently, you've never had a Twi'lek girlfriend," Kyp Durron commented.
"Anyways, fill me in?" Luke nodded and tossed Anakin a datafile.
"Read that on the ride,"
In the Jade Shadow...
Anakin inserted the datafile into his datapad. The screen popped up instantly and he began to read:
Mission Account: Tatooine2
Mission Objective:[/color] To assist former Jedi, Tahiri Veila, in quest for peace with the Sand People and Mos Eisley...[/b]
"Tahiri?" Anakin stopped reading long enough to say.
...She has been wounded in her effort and called the Jedi for back up. The Jedi should protect her and not take sides. Remember, Jeid are Guardians of the Peace.
"Who's being assigned to Mos Eisley?" Anakin asked.
"Jaina, Zekk, Jacen and I. We assume Tahiri will only need one of us for protection, and you know her best," Tenel Ka replied softly. Jacen put an arm around Tennie's shoulders while Anakin settled back and waited for Tatooine to appear.
~A While Later~
"Coming out of Hyperspace; Tatooine," An electronic voice announced. "Please fasten your..." Jaina turned down the volume.
"We know the drill, thanks," She turned to the rest of them. "We need to remove that before I destroy it."
When they had landed a boom echoed through the immense desert.
"Uh... I don't think that was me," Jacen remarked. Anakin noticed an object approaching them at a speedy rate.
"Duck!" *explosion* The missile hit a sand dune and sand sprinkles everywhere. Loud grunts could be heard bouncing off the cliffs, and the bombardment stopped. A bantha lumbered slowly out of the canyon towards them, followed by another, then another, and another. The Jedi waited patiently until they arrived.
"Are you one of the Mos Eis Klan?" A tall Tusken Raider rumbled in a deep voice.
"No, we are not. We are Jedi assistance requested by Tahiri Veila," Zekk spoke up with an authoritive tone.
"I see," The Tusken turned to one of his companions and grunted something in their own tongue. "You are who you say you are. Welcome, I am Slavin,"
Suddenly another missile whizzed towards the Jedi. Slavin's companion leapt from its bantha and knocked them to the ground just as it came overhead. "Take cover!" Slavin ordered. Anakin helped the companion to his feet.
"Thank you, friend," Anakin said. The Raider nodded and climbed back onto his bantha.
Slavin nodded to him and shouted a long howl. The bantha's formed a circle around the Jeid and the Raiders drew their weapons and began to return fire.
"Aren't we supposed to be keeping the peace, my friends?" Tenel Ka asked. The young Knights nodded.
"Cease fire!" Anakin yelled. Slavin turned to them. "We are here to keep the peace, not start a war! My friends need to go to Mos Eisley to negotiate for your tribe. They will need a safe passage."
All of a sudden a missile came from the side and killed Slavin's companion's bantha. Falling ground, the Tusken was pinned underneath his pet. Anakin raced to help. "I will take care of your friend, just make sure my friends get to Mos Eisley." Anakin finished, Slavin nodded.
Anakin dragged the Raider into a nearby dome shaped structure. The Tusken groaned when Anakin set him on the table. "Hang on, I'll see if there's a med kit somewhere," The Raider nodded.
Anakin came back with some bacta. "I noticed your side landed on your bantha's horn, so I though you could use this." Anakin began to help the Tusken take his cloak off.
"You can't do that," The Tusken Raider surprised him by speaking. It was the first basic he'd heard from the man.
"I-I'm sorry," He stuttered. The Tusken let out what sounded like a sigh and began to unwind his wrappings.
Suddenly, a bomb rocked the igloo structure and rubble came pouring down upon them.

Want more? ;D
A Band of Mos Eisley rebels entered the dome building brandishing vibroblades and blasters. "Put your hands behind your head and drop your weapons." The leader ordered.
"That won't be necessary we come in peace." Anakin waved his hand. The Tusken beside him laughed.
"Peace? No, peace betrayed me. I too once thought that there could be peace between Mos Eis and the Sand People, but that is long gone." The Raider cocked his weapon and the Mos Eis Klan raised their firearms.
"No, stop!" They hesitated. Anakin's companion took advantage of the pause and threw a TD (Thermal Detonator) while dragging Anakin into a run. The blast caught Anakin in the back and he stumbled into the kitchen where he then blacked out.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anakin opened his eyes slowly, daring to breathe, for his lungs felt shriveled and were slow to expand. He remembered the blast and the air being knocked out of him. A sudden need for air interupted his thoughts, and he took a wheezy breath.
The Tusken walked in, as if on cue, wiping his hands. "I just burned the last of the bodies."
"Wha...? Who do you think you are? I could have been killed back there!" Anakin exclaimed.
"But you weren't. Jedi Mind Tricks don't last long against that crowd. Trust me, I should know."
"Did Tahiri Veila try one? Do you know where she is? I'm the Jedi protection she requested."
"She didn't request protection, they insisted upon it. And so far you've done a poor job, Herboy." The Tusken Raider removed his mask and pale blond hair spilled out. Her deep green eyes sparkled with mischeif and her tanned features displayed a radiant smile. Anakin's mouth dropped.
"Tahiri!?" He sprung to his feet and wrapped her in a bear hug. She cried out in pain and he stepped back. "Are you OK?" She shook her head and sat down in one of the chairs.
"After I was wounded I stupidly persisted that I was fine so my wound was never treated; therefore, becoming infected," she winced and the continued. "I contracted some type of disease apparently... I haven't told Slavin yet," Anakin's eyes widened. Tahiri had contracted a disease? "To top it off, I just fell on my bantha's kriffin' horn," Tahiri reached for the bacta. "I'm gonna go treat it... where's the 'fresher when one needs it?" Anakin caught her elbow.
"I want to see it."
"What?"
"Your infected wound, I want to see it. I may be able to treat it." She looked at him warily, then sighed.
"You're not going to like what you see," She removed her cloak and turned around. Her bare shoulders revealed a jagged scar lined with puss, so lengthy that the shirt covered up about 1/4 of it. "A Mos Eis pushed me to the ground while another etched a vibroblade into my back." Anakin noticed her latest wound and began to apply bacta to Tahiri's bruise. She blushed, but Anakin didn't notice. Then he placed a hand on it, concentrating on closing and healing the wound. Moving on to her longest scar, he began to speak again.
"So, how close are you and Slavin?" Tahiri winced in pain then gritted her teeth.
"Slavin is like a father to me. Since my parents were killed, he's the only 'family' I've ever had," She lifted a chain containing three pendants for Anakin to see. "Two of those are my biological parents thumbprints, the other is Slavin's. I wear this always." Anakin smiled and touched it.
"It's unique. I see why you treaure it." His smile turned to a frown.
"What is it, Anakin?"
"Is it fatal?"
"The pendant?"
"The disease you contracted. Is it fatal?"
"I dunno," she shrugged. "Why should you care?"
"Well... you're my best friend, and I'm worried." She smiled at his answer. "We ARE still friends, right?" She hooked her arm in his as they walked into the kitchen.
"The best."
