Hello everybody! This is my first Star Wars story! It is set just after the events of The Phantom Menace. I hope you enjoy it!


Obi-Wan Kenobi has become a Jedi Knight, and has taken on the young Anakin Skywalker as his Padawan.

Meanwhile, Kenobi's best friends come and congratulate him for his achievements.


Obi-Wan Kenobi's Best Friends:
Bant Eerin
Garen Muln
Reeft
Siri Tachi
Quinlan Vos


Congratulations

A Best Friend

"Obi-Wan!"

"Bant!"

The two best friends walked briskly across the Great Hall to greet each other.

"Congratulations on becoming a Knight!" complimented Bant, "As well as being granted your First Padawan!"

"Oh come on, Bant. It's not that big of an event to celebrate," chuckled Obi-Wan. Bant smiled, her orange skin radiant and her golden eyes shining.

"Well… you getting a padawan is still something to celebrate. By the way, where is the young Chosen One?"

"Sleeping in. He – I mean Anakin and I still haven't quite gotten over the loss of Qui-Gon," said Obi-Wan sadly, lamenting his late master.

"Bant, I am so sorry I couldn't save Master Tahl," Obi-Wan continued, "I know what it feels like now."

"You don't have to apologize, Obi-Wan," Bant comforted her best friend, "That was long ago, and you couldn't have done anything. I know that now. Besides, at least Master Tahl is with Master Qui-Gon again."

"Yeah," sighed Obi-Wan.

Kenobi and Eerin's masters, Qui-Gon and Tahl (respectively), had shared a close bond with each other, much like the two best friends had when they were young initiates. In fact Qui-Gon and Tahl would have been in love – had the Jedi Code not forbid it.

But at least Qui-Gon and Tahl were together again, in the Light Side of the Force.

"Anyways Obi, come with me," said Bant.

"Well… what's going on?" Obi-Wan inquired.

"It's a surprise!" giggled Bant.

Obi-Wan laughed heartily. Bant was two years younger than him, and it clearly showed in their behaviour. He was uptight and always wanted to impress, while she was laidback and more content with just giving her best.

"Alright Bant, lead the way!"
