With the delicacy one would expect from a surgeon performing a heart transplant, Anakin carefully distributed the pink frosting evenly over the surface of the cake. After seven hours of demanding labor, he had finally produced a passable (he hoped) five year anniversary cake. He stood back to admire his work.

" Obi-wan is going to love it!" Anakin shouted joyfully. The young padawan then proceeded to do an absurd dance around the kitchen, chanting, " I did it, I did it!" in a singsong voice. While in mid prance he sensed the familiar presence of his master approaching. He swiftly hid the cake in the refrigeration unit, and at the speed only a fourteen-year-old Jedi hyped up on sugar could accomplish, cleaned up the kitchen.

Obi-wan Kenobi was pissed. Not only had he been ordered to attend some pathetic Political conference, but Master Windu made him stay for fricken after party! Obi-wan gave the evil eye to several innocent younglings and continued to storm down the hallways of the temple. Then, while at the after party, Master Windu left, and the only way for Obi to avoid getting bombarded by politicians was to seem preoccupied with his meal, and the only thing they were serving at this stupid thing was cake! Obi- wans stomach rolled. If I see another piece of cake in my lifetime it will be to soon. He thought viciously. Anakin had better not have done something stupid while I was gone, or force damn it I will not be responsible for my actions. Obi-wan got into the lift. And sighed exasperatedly. " Sith I hate politicians."

Obi-wan strode darkly into his and Ani's quarters, and was immediately relieved to see that his padawan did not have his " I'm in trouble pleases don't kill me" look on his face. Anakin smiled brightly. "How was the conference?" Obi-wan leaped upon this opportunity to vent like a starved wolf. " First I had to listen to the bloody delegates from bloody Pasta or Panda or what ever to hell that plants called whine about nothing of any importance to any body for three bloody hours! Then Master bloody Windu left me alone in a room full of bloody politicians! And if I see another piece of cake in to near future I WILL KILL SOMEBODY!"

Obi-wan took several deep breaths before smiling pleasantly at Anakin. " Now I feel so much better, uh Anakin, are you alright?"

Anakin had tears running down his face and had turned the color of hospital walls. He jumped up suddenly and screamed at the ceiling " SEVEN HOURS!" Anakin burst into sobs and ran crying to his room. Obi-wan stared wondrously at the door to Anakin's room, from which his sobs could still be heard. Turning away Obi-wan muttered, "Bloody puberty."
