Authors Note: Okay this will hopefully be a very long story at least that is by my standards. It is summer so theoretically it will get done quickly although you know how stuff works out. I warn you this will be AU in some respects and so be prepared for stuff that couldn't happen, it will also be very slash and it will be between Obi/Ani and Qui/Obi so don't like it don't read. Also I'm adding my own characteristics because this is a romantic dramedy. The only thing that's mine is the plot and a few of my own characters. Oh and yes they still have iPods. By the way Last Man Standing is a self explanatory game that you play on the trampoline.
1~ Becoming Padawans
"Who do you think will choose you?" My best friend Lily Lenchen asked me in a whimsical tone. "I'm hoping for Master Gallia I mean she's totally kickass!" She sighed thinking of the prospect of becoming a Padawan. Neither of us or for that matter any of our group could wait, we were jumping in our seats with excitement waiting for the new group of knights to get here.
"Well I was hoping for Master Jinn but he was there when I tore those ligaments so I don't think he would exactly want me as his Padawan." I was referring to an incident from a couple of days ago which had lead to the limp I now had Lily, Hayden and I had been jumping on a trampoline and I had landed on my ankle pulling the ligaments in my ankle. He might have taken me if I had been injured training but alas I had no such luck and now I was a gimp that was gonna get a lame ass master, yeah my life was fantastic.
"Obi, he'll still take you he was always watching you train and even though you killed your innocent ankle playing Last Man Standing I think he still sees your potential." Lily assured me though I was in no way assured. Hayden my best friend since forever started chuckling and I knew that he'd thought of something I guessed only he would find amusing. Since sitting there and waiting for one of the biggest moments of my life was in no way entertaining I decided to ask what he was laughing at. His response was simple:
"You owe me money cause you were not the last man standing!" That was true since when I landed on my ankle I had collapsed screaming in agony but I figured our three way beat on who would be the last one standing would have be canceled because of injury and I told him so. "Dude I don't care if you tore some ligaments or broke your ass you still owe me ten credits!"
"Here, I am." I was saved Yoda had come to my rescue! Man was I lucky since I'd spent the last of my money on pain killers. I scanned the faces of my possible masters and was disappointed when I didn't see Master Jinn. "Knights call your names I will and pick your Padawans then you may." He went down the list and Lily was quickly chosen by Master Gallia, then Hayden by Master Hafer. Then all of the masters had picked and I was still there. I could tell Yoda was terrified at the prospect of keeping me any longer, he hated my pranks. That was one of the reasons I enjoyed playing them on him. Just as I was about to point out that I had been jipped I saw the most amazing sight of my 13 years, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn running up to master Yoda screaming that he was so sorry he was late.
"Try you should to get out of the temple and buy a clock." Yoda didn't seem angry, he didn't seem very surprised either just tired. He just shook his head. "Deny him you may but he is the last Padawan and believe do I that you two would make an interesting team." I knew Yoda just wanted to get rid of me and my games.
"Why wouldn't I want him? He looks fine." Qui-Gon looked quiet confused.
"Take a while it would to expla- uh well actually wonderful he is miss out you would to not have him." Yoda smiled clearly hoping Master Jinn would accept the white lie I just sat back smiling.
Master Jinn looked me up and down and I couldn't help but feel self-conscious to say the least. "Take him I will and train him I will try." Qui-Gon mocked and rolled his eyes before turning and gesturing for me to follow.

"So I guess we have to do some light work, paper work most likely for a little while, considering you have a limp. Didn't you see the doctors?" He asked this as we made our way through the halls towards the Master/Padawan suits.
"Well I was going to but Yoda said that I wasn't allowed to." I answered my head bowed in shame.
"What? Why?" He turned and looked at me confusion covered his face.
"Well, he said that I wasn't allowed to as 'punishment for my stupid games.' You see I was sorta supposed to be training with the others but Hayden, Lily and I decided to play Last Man Standing instead."
"Wow that's harsh punishment. But why weren't you training?"
"Because, Master we didn't want to, duh." I was confused. "And the reason the punishment was so harsh is that Yoda kinda hates me…I think."
"Obi-Wan he doesn't hate you." He assured me and once again I was not in the slightest way assured.
"How the he- uh how would you know?" I barely caught myself although he clearly knew what I was about to say.
"Because young one fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate" I cut him off.
"Hate leads to suffering I know." I said in my most Yoda like voice which was I have to say pretty good, this was probably because I had had may lectures from the little green troll. We walked in silence for a bit before my new Master broke the silence.
"If he did hate you and I'm not saying he does but if he did why would he?" He looked a little worried and he most likely felt like he'd been given what appeared to be a sweat kitten only to discover it was the spawn of Satan. Yoda may agree to that statement I decided.
"Master Jinn I don't think I'm ready to break the vision I've given you that I'm sweet and innocent and besides I'm not sure you want to know. Don't worry give me a month to get used to you and you'll figure it out on your own." I winked at him and put in the ear buds of my iPod nodding my head to the music. My new Master looked at me with a terrified expression on his face. I smiled gleefully at my new victim.

A year later…
"Obi-Wan once again this is NOT funny I don't why you are laughing so hard!" My Master was bellowing at me and I still couldn't help but literally roll around laughing on my bed. I could feel the muscles in my face strain from being stuck in the same position as I laughed and a stitch was forming in my side. "Stop laughing this is serious! Serious I say!"
"But Master I thought you liked green? Your lightsaber is green your bed-sheets are green and now your hair matches as well though it is a little limier than I expected it to be huh must have to with your hair type and shit. Interesting I'll have to note that." At this point I couldn't keep from having a second laughing fit. Qui-Gon glared at me water dripping into his eyes and more droplets trailed into the towel that was wrapped around his waist, oddly it was still an attractive sight. Whoa, whoa, whoa wait a minute hear did I just think that? I couldn't have; not me no way, not me innocent, straight 14 year old Obi-Wan. Well not innocent but certainly straight and I was damn sure I was 14 whereas Qui-Gon was 30 over twice my age no I hadn't thought that no freakin' way.
"This is not funny if you wanted to dye something why not your own hair?"
"Because Master than we wouldn't be having this stimulating conversation." Yes certainly stimulating… No bad Obi-Wan bad, bad Obi-Wan don't you go switching teams brain please, please don't switch teams!
"Come on just tell me how to wash it out!"
"No."
"Come on PLEASE Obi-Wan I'm begging you for me." He did that weird blinking thing that girls did to me often on missions. Oddly it didn't work on me then but Qui-Gon was easily weakening my resolve. No that was another bad thought brain why are you doing this to me you wicked piece of shit.
"Why not?" I could tell he was getting desperate and I was loving every millisecond of it!
"Because Love." I said standing and sauntering over to him. I don't know why I called him love then but it just fit. "That would ruin my fun." At that exact instant I wanted to wrap my arms around him and kiss him I don't know where the urge came from but it scared me shitless and I bolted out the door. Good thing to because if I'd stayed in there I'm sure I would have told him how to get the dye out!

So that was the first one please R&R it's not nice to read and then not tell me what you think. Prank ideas are welcome and in fact encourage because later on Ani will be pranking Obi. I know it's not your normal Star Wars fic but I hope you'll still give it a try! By the way it's my first one for Star Wars but I'm not afraid of constructive criticism!
