Well here we go with another fic! This fic/series was actually started by a close friend of mine who writes by the penname JediAmi. She wrote snippets involving Obi-Wan, Anakin, and horrid cooking, and after a few such snippets, the "To Be Master of the Chosen One" was written.

Title: Snowy Nights
Author: Jedi Ami

"It's cold," Anakin announced.

"It's gonna get colder," Obi-Wan replied, gazing at the snow. "See this, Ani? It's snow. The frozen element of rain . . . which is water out of the sky."

"I know that!" Anakin said indignantly. "Tatooine has rain once every three years!"

Obi-Wan tried to smile warmly. "Then you're well prepared," he said.

Anakin stuck out his lip, concentrating on the snow. "Obi-Wan, the snow is changing into water!" he exclaimed.

"I know," Obi-Wan said, watching his recently taken Padawan. "It's melting."

"Melting?" Anakin echoed.

Silently, Obi-Wan sighed in exasperation. Really, a Padawan was annoying! Instantly, he chastised himself for that remark, wondering if Qui-Gon had ever felt that way. Probably, he acknowledged with a smile. "Melting. That's when something in solid form changes to liquid form because of change in temperature."

Anakin looked confused. Force, Obi-Wan thought, How in the name of gods are you supposed to teach a nine-year-old who has only seen rain three times that snow becomes rain?

Suddenly, an inspirational point struck him. Qui-Gon had once told him that as a Master, he had often had to link new points to things that a Padawan was familiar with. "Anakin," he said, drawing the boy's attention back towards him. "Think about Tatooine. If you placed an astromech droid, a normal astromech droid – not one that is modified – outside for three hours, what would happen to the droid's parts?"

"They would – " Anakin started before saying, "Oh."

"They would – " Obi-Wan prompted.

Anakin grinned. "They would melt, Obi-Wan!"

"Exactly, Padawan," Obi-Wan said triumphantly. Aha, you can teach someone, he thought in wonderment.

About three hours later, Anakin had still not left the balcony. Obi-Wan fell out of meditation for the fifth time, eyeing his Padawan cautiously. "Ani, do you want to go inside? It'll be warmer."

"I like the cold now," Anakin said.

Obi-Wan's eyebrow arched. "Oh do you now?" he asked. "Are you the same Anakin who said to I on the ship that it was too cold for your enjoyment?"

"Space is colder," Anakin pointed out. "Um, Obi-Wan, I had a question."

"Fire away."

"When do I get to start my training? I know that you apprenticed me and that the Council agreed, but I haven't done anything yet!"

Obi-Wan remained silent. "Ani," he said at last. "Are you sure you haven't learned anything?"

"Yes."

"Then tell me what melting means."

Anakin frowned, "I'll give you that one," he said grudgingly. "But I don't know anything more about the Jedi than I used to. I wanna learn about the Force and midichlorians!"

Obi-Wan sighed, struggling to put the words into something his Padawan would understand. The normal definitions would not do as Anakin hardly understood the basic Jedi terms. "All right. The Force is an energy force that flows around us. Jedi can draw on the Force for strength and for guidance."

He ignored Anakin's baffled look. "For example, the Jedi can draw on the Force in order to accomplish things like jump over a ten foot wall, or to keep our balance on a high beam. However, those physical accomplishments are also due to the fact that Jedi train on balance and coordination daily."

"Is that why you were practicing those gymnastic movements?" Anakin asked.

"They are called katas," Obi-Wan said. "Basic Forms, training forms, advanced forms, every Jedi wants to master them all. There are armed forms as well, where a lightsaber is involved."

"What else can the Force do?" Anakin asked in rapt wonderment.

"Jedi believe that the Force can connect them to other life-forms," Obi-Wan said. "So we can use the Force to find out, roughly, one's emotions. We can throw objects, levitate objects – and life-forms – and nurture a plant as well, encouraging it to grow. Some Jedi can even use the Force to heal."

Anakin said, "So Jedi are practically invincible!"

"No," Obi-Wan said. "We have our foes, and they too, hold these powers." He smiled at Anakin. "Don't worry, Ani. You'll learn these things in due time. Now let's get you to bed."

The Jedi Knight took the younger Jedi's hand in his, warming the smaller hand. He led Anakin inside the Temple.

Together they walked, Master and Apprentice.

The End
