Barriss waited for him to strike. He was waiting with his lightsaber held at a form III position. When he didn't make the move, she charged. He jumped out of the way, as she swung. Her blue lightsaber missed by only inches. She swung around, and dodged as he sliced at her feet. Barriss flipped over him and did a sideswipe at his own feet. He jumped, just in the knick of time, and she missed. They both paused. Then, without warning, he leaped swinging at her. She tried to doge but was just a little too late. He had hit her robes, right at the fastening point, and they fell to the floor.

"Ew, you sicko pervert!" Barriss yelled trying to recover the fallen garment, with little luck.

"What? You should've been faster. Plus, It's not like you weren't wearing anything underneath. You got the weird outfit you wear all the time." He smirked as she grabbed the robe and stomped off toward the two masters watching from the sidelines.

One of these masters had bright red hair, and a short beard. He was wearing the usual Jedi robes. The other was wearing dark robes, and a Mirialan headdress. She had tattoos going down her chin. She also had green skin. The red head was Obi-wan Kenobi, and the green one was Luminara Unduli.

"Yes, Anakin, Can't you keep yourself under control? A few more inches and that outfit could've come off too." Obi-wan was teasing his padawan.

"Master! Seriously?! I would never!" He was growing frustrated.

"Oh really now?" Barriss thought this would be a good time to get revenge.

"You know I wouldn't do that."

"I don't know Anakin, you certainly looked like you were aiming." Luminara was speaking now.

"Oh, come on not you too! I've had enough of this, I'm out of here." He stormed out of the room.

"Well, I'd better go get him; Force knows what he'll get himself into this time." Obi-wan walked out of the room after his padawan.

Luminara sighed, "Well, there goes the rest of the morning's training."

"What are we going to do now master? Can we get something to eat?" They started for the door.

"You're always eating, how about we go to one of the temple gardens?" She suggested.

"Or, we could go to get a cheeseburger somewhere." Barriss wasn't going to give up that easily.

"Barriss, I think we should go to the gardens. You need to work on your meditation skills." Luminara calmly said. That was on thing Barriss didn't like about her master. She always kept her cool. ALWAYS. Barriss sighed and gave in to her master's reasoning.

They decided, well Luminara decided, that they would go the room of a thousand fountains. They sat on one of the benches scattered throughout the garden.

"Okay, I want you to meditate for; oh I'll say ten minutes." Luminara said.

"Really? That's It?" Barriss thought she was going to have it easy, that is, until she actually started to meditate. At first, it was easy, but then after a minute Barriss could hear something crunching. She opened her eyes and looked around. Her master was eating out of a bag of chips.

"What gives?" She was still hungry and here's her master, munching on chips while she's trying to meditate.

"Hmm?" Luminara looked over to her padawan, who had stopped meditating.

"You! You're eating chips!" Barriss stared at her master as if she had some abnormal growth in the middle of her forehead.

"Yes? Is that a problem?"

"Yes, I'm trying to concentrate, and I'm hungry."

"Well, concentrate, and after your done meditating, we can go get something to eat."

With an annoyed sigh, Barriss returned to her meditating, ignoring her masters munching. After another few minutes, there was yet another distraction. Her master was now poking her in the shoulder. She tried hard to concentrate, but eventually could take no more.

"What are you doing?!" She stared at her master.

"What do you mean?"

"Why are you poking me?"

"I'm not poking you." She continued to tap her padawan's shoulder.

"Urg, I swear…" She went on trying to meditate. She finally made it through the ten minutes, and was about to explode when she was done.

"Now was that so hard?" Luminara was acting as if she hadn't done anything wrong.

"Was that so hard? Are you serious master? What the heck is wrong with you? You need to go the med bay. Get you head checked." Barriss got up from her meditative position, and started to walk towards the door to the temple interior.

"I was testing you." Luminara went after her padawan.

"Testing me?"

"Yes, I was testing your ability of keeping your focus, which needs work."

"You have got to be kidding me…"

So that's chapter one. Please R&R!
