Tensions
Anakin Skywalker moved towards the ship. It would take him and his new master, Obi-Wan Kenobi to Coruscant where he would learn some basic skills. Though, Anakin was still worried about this whole thing. He wasn't even sure if Obi-Wan even liked him, if this taking him as a padawan was only to fulfill Qui-Gon's last wish. Anakin remembered the exasperated look on Obi-Wan's face when Qui-Gon first introduced them back on Tatooine. Tatooine. It seemed like a century ago since when he lived there. Already, it seemed, he was forgetting his old life in the death pit of sands.
No! I can't forget Mom. She needs me. I will go back and save her. Perhaps it was that he wasn't really forgetting Tatooine, rather, it was he wanted to forget. But he couldn't afford too. He knew that someday he was going to right all the wrongs that have been done to all the slaves in Tatooine. He had seen it in his dreams, and most of his dreams deemed true.
With these thoughts in hand, it wasn't very surprising that during the first half hour of the trip were pretty quiet between Anakin and Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan, however, was pondering over different things. I hope he does well at the temple. What do I mean hope, I know he will, he's just out there. But I cannot indulge him and pretend he's a perfect angel. Remember what happened to Xanatos. The other side of his mind debated this: Obi-Wan, you cannot be biased against him though. Not everyone turns into Xanitos, don't make him pay for something he didn't do.
Half-way to Coruscant, Anakin couldn't resist the urge and started asking questions. "So other initiates live in the temple? How come I didn't see any?"
"Yes, there are a couple hundred, they were probably in class while you were at the Jedi Temple."
"What kind of classes do they take?"
"Oh, it depends. Everyone takes courses like meditation and light saber training. Others are optional, if you want to pursue some other education, like pilot flying." Obi-Wan said.
"Pilot flying! Really? Cool!" said Anakin, who then immediately regretted using the word "cool", as Obi-Wan suddenly had a strange expression on his face, it wasn't anger, but it was. . . something.
Obi-Wan was only surprised at the word. It was slang and he used it to tease his master, he never thought of himself reprimanding anyone for using slang. It would take time to get used to being a "Master" to Anakin.
"What's wrong," Anakin asked, finally breaking the silence.
"Oh, nothing. I just never thought that I would have to tell someone to use correct English, but I guess now I'm a master and I should. So use correct English," said Obi-Wan. And then added slyly "But only when we're around other people."
They both broke into grins, the first tensions seemed to be lifted as Obi-Wan readied the ship for landing on Coruscant.
A/N: Well, if you guys like it, I'll pursue it, but if not, maybe I'll think of something else. So, all feed back is welcome, if you didn't like the story, please tell me why, I'm curious, I'm new at writing. See ya! (btw, if I do continue it, I will make it longer parts, just wanted to shorten things out for an introduction)
