Series: Kidnapped By the Force (Another crossover snippet plot
bunny has grabbed me by the ankles)
Summary: Shortly after the fateful meeting with the Jedi
Council, Obi-Wan encounters a mysterious woman in the gardens.
Feedback: Sure
Notes: This was inspired by the fact that sharp eyed viewers of
TPM spotted the silhouette of a certain starship in some
scenes.
Disclaimer: Everyone is owned by their creators. If I did I'd
keep Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan locked in my bedroom with Jim and
Blair. (Jim, Qui-Gon quit hogging the covers.)
/I will train him, then. I take Anakin as my Padawan learner./
/Obi-Wan is ready.../
No, Master. I'm not ready. Obi-Wan wished he had said those
words instead of backing his Master up, telling the Jedi
Council that he was ready to face his trials. Master Yoda was
right. What did he know of ready? He wasn't ready to a Jedi
Knight.
Obi-Wan leaned back against the wall and looked up into the sky
of Coruscant. He should be preparing to leave for Naboo with
his Master but he had to get away his Master and Anakin if only
for a short time.
"Does he know how you feel." A woman wearing a uniform and
speaking with an accent he didn't recognize stepped out of the
shadows. "Have you told Qui-Gon that you love?" Eyes the color
of Alderann at midnight meet his.
"I don't understand what you mean."
A slim hand reached out and brushed his cheek. "You love
Qui-Gon. You don't want to leave because you aren't ready to be
a Jedi Knight. You are ready. You want to stay with Qui-Gon
because you love him and your place is with him."
"He doesn't want me." His voice grew thick with tears he
couldn't allow himself to shed. "He wants to train the Chosen
One."
The woman sat on the seat beside him without breaking eye
contact. "You should talk to him. Ask him how he feels. Why he
announced his decision to take Anakin as his Padawan learner
without talking to you?"
"Anakin is the Choicen One."
"So you've told me, but he also a little boy who has left his
mother and the only life he has ever known. Qui-Gon cares for
him. Don't you?"
Obi-Wan looked away from her. On the trip from Tatoonine, he
had begun to care for the boy. If the circumstances had been
different, he would have been beside his Master to defending
Anakin before the Council.
Maybe a line about jealous leading to the Dark Side should be
added to the Jedi Code.
He stood, crossing his hands in front of him, trying to
resemble once more a serene Jedi apprentice. "I most go."
"Talk to him, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Before you reach Naboo. More than
just your well being may depend on this."
"How--"
A soft beep from his communicator interrupted him. "Obi-Wan."
"Yes, Master."
"We're ready to leave. Meet us at the ship."
"Yes, Master." Obi-Wan looked over to where the woman stood.
She was gone. "I will talk to him. I promise," he said softly
to himself.
Deanna Troi stood watching Obi-Wan until he left the garden.
She tapped her communicator. "One to beam up."
