Tip of the Iceberg:
Song Fic: By Owl City.
I took the the literal words and made a story out of it. This story is based off an inspirations from the song, not its meaning.
...
Welcome back Winter once again
And put on your warm fuzzy sweater
Cuz you'll feel much better when
The snowflakes fall Gently to the ground
The temperature drops
And your shivers freeze all the rivers around
But I keep you warm
…
Obi-Wan had to meet his master at the top of a glacier a far distance away. He could only get there by walking. He looked up to the sky where the snowflakes fell from. He hadn't been in a snowy place in a long time. He stepped out of his crashed escape pod. He and Qui-Gon had to eject from their ship when pirates attacked.
He placed his warm tunic on over his clothes and proceeded through the frozen landscape. The snowflakes fluttered casually to the ground and he shivered as though the temperature dropped even more that it already was. He noticed a frozen river up ahead. That would be the quickest way to his master. He felt the man sending warmth messages through the force guiding the boy.
Obi-Wan stepped onto the iced river, it was solid and slippery, nothing but ice.
…
If speed's a pro
Inertia must be a con
Cuz the cold wind blows at precise rates
When I've got my ice skates on
If all the roads
Were paved with ice that wouldn't thaw or crack
I could skate from Maine to Nebraska
Then on to Alaska and back
Cuz you keep me warm
…
Obi-Wan stepped onto the iced river, it was solid and slippery, nothing but ice. The wind picked up and began to push him. He began to slide and eventually skate down the river of ice. If he wasn't so afraid of falling through the fact that it was fun would have been more enjoyable.
Eventually however he did start to really enjoy it and he laughed as he was swept down the river at intense speeds. It was a real adrenaline rush and he couldn't help but let out a joyous laugh. And all the while he could feel Qui-Gon with him.
…
Peer over the edge
Can you see me?
Rivulets flow from your eyes
Paint runs from your mouth
Like a waterfall
And your lungs crystalize
I'll travel the sub-zero tundra
I'll brave glaciers and frozen lakes
And that's just the tip of the iceberg
I'll do whatever it takes
To change
…
Obi-Wan finally reached the end of the river and came to what WAS a waterfall. He skidded to a stop and looked over the edge. Off in the distance he could see his master waiting. His lungs stung from the cold in the air. He trotted down the hill across the tundra and toward the glacier and frozen lake And there in the center of all of it was the tip of the iceberg!
…
Farewell powdery paradise
We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice
Fingers failed us before they froze
Frostbite bit down on all our toes
Snow drifts build up and enfold us
As we wait out this winter storm
So we snuggle close in the darkness
And keep each other so warm
…
There on the ice berg was the ship that would get them off the planet and to safety.
Obi-Wan bolted as fast as he could leaving the powdered land behind him. He preferred a place with warmth and no ice. His fingers were numbing and his feet were no doubt frostbit. He ran so fast that he nearly knocked his master over when he ran into his arms.
As the wind picked up and pulled the snowdrifts up around them like blankets they fell asleep as they were taken to a warmer place.
