This came to me while I was listening to the song. I love the song! Hope you like this, and guess who it's about.
Decicated to my Master, JediLuminaraUnduli.
Song lyrics are in bold and italics, while the story is like this.
Disclaimer: Own Star Wars, I do not, nor Nickelback or the song (wish I did...a girl can dream, can't she?)
SOMEDAY
By Nickelback
She stared after him, angry to the core.
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why did he keep on insisting on being a stubborn, bantha-brained man? Couldn't he see that he was hurting her? She burst into tears and fled into her quarters.
Why weren't we able
He often wondered why the heck he was even her friend
To see the signs that we missed
He would try to make up with her…once she admitted she was wrong. Of course, it wasn't all her fault, but she had started it with her worrying.
Try to turn the tables
Honestly, she didn't care whether or not she ever saw him again.
I wished you'd unclench your fists, and unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too late
He straightened suddenly. He didn't want their relationship to end like this, not before she was being sent to the Outer Rim on a mission.
Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
He would visit her, tonight.
I'm gonna make it alright
When she and her padawan were busy training.
But not right now
Now, however, was too soon for him.
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
He suddenly wished that he hadn't closed their bond of friendship so hurriedly.
Someday, somehow
After all, she was only trying to help.
I'm gonna make it alright
He quickly peeled back the barriers he had set around his mind and cast his signature out, looking for hers.
But not right now
There was only empty space.
I know you're wondering when
He really hoped she didn't blame him, at least, not too much.
She hoped that he would be able to forgive her, hear her out at the very least.
Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway
That we could end up saying
She knew what she had to say, say before she and her padawan went on their next mission, this time to Malastare.
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up staying
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
She had never thought, in her wildest dreams, that their friendship would turn into a romance, like in one of those Romance novels she sometimes read.
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Surely they could mend their differences. If the characters in books and movies and plays could iron out their differences before the curtain went down, then they could do the same thing. However, a voice in the back of her mind whispered that events in real life never were quite the same as the events in books and other entertainment.
Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright
She'd go and apologize. She would. She promised herself that she would.
But not right now
However, she couldn't even get one foot out the door.
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
She sighed. Couldn't events in real life be as simple as the ones in the books and movies?
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
She would just wait. Maybe he would come and apologize to her so she wouldn't have to take the first step.
(Intermission)
He'd just wait. After all, wouldn't she be a lady and take the first step?
How the hell'd we wind up like this,
And why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
Try to turn the tables
Well, it was almost time to go.
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
He made up his mind, and started out the door and down the hallway.
Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
She made up her mind, and started out her door to the turbolift that would take her to his quarters.
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright
He hesitated halfway down the hall. Three floors away, she did the same.
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
He decided to go back to his quarters. She continued on stubbornly.
Someday somehow
I'm gonna make it alright
She would make this right. If she'd die on the mission, she wouldn't want any bad words left between them.
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
She made it to his quarters, her travel bag in her hand. She took a deep breath and pressed the buzzer. It echoed ominously.
I know you're wondering when
He poked his head out of his room, started to speak, and couldn't. They stared for a long time at each other. Finally, she spoke.
"Obi-Wan –," she began.
"Luminara –," he began. They stopped each midway through an apology, and then embraced.
You're the only one who knows that
"We don't need words, you know," he whispered in her ear.
"No," she agreed. After all, they only needed their hearts. She pulled away after a little while. "See you, Obi-Wan," she called out.
"Bye, Luminara," he responded, grinning. "May the Force be with you."
I know you're wondering when
She had soon disappeared. Shadows once again reigned in the Temple hallway, and Obi-Wan went inside to make himself some naribudis tea. The Force did work in wondrous ways indeed.
Finis.
