Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Star Wars. They are the rightful property of one George Lucas, who fortunately decided to share them with the world through his films. I'm merely borrowing them in the most respectful way to have some more fun. That is all.

Moments – series; I'm not doing this serie in a chronological order. I have a few points in Obi-wan's life I'd like to do, but don't want to bother with writing everything in the correct oder. Just use your head, and you'll be fine.

Another unusual lesson

"Mmm, much like Qui-gon, you have become."

"I will take that as a compliment."

"Hmm"

For a while Yoda sat silently, deep in thought. With a small wave of his hand his walking came floating up from the floor. Grunting a little he crawled off his cushion.

"Sure are you, this will work?"

"Yes, master. As Qui-gon intended it at the time it is an excellent way to show him the effects of ignoring the Living Force. Or to be overconfident in it."

"Yes, a flaw more and more common among young jedi, I sensed."

Yoda walked to the cushion Obi-wan was sitting on. Stopping next to it he patted Obi-wan's knee. "Help you in your lesson, I will."

Obi-wan bowed his head in respect. "Thank you, master Yoda."

The diminutive jedi slowly walked out the door, leaving Obi-wan to meditate on his earlier comments. As the door quietly slid close behind his back Yoda sighed.

"Like master, like apprentice."

But he couldn't help but smile.

"Qui-gon was right. Much wiser Obi-wan is."

Then he set out towards his next class of younglings.

"Oh come on, master. You're just jealous because I flawlessly performed the fifth stance."

"Dream on, my young padawan. Just because you made no real mistake doesn't mean it was perfect. And how many times have I told you, no additional moves during the kata. Especially flashy moves that serve no other purpose then to show off."

Anakin shook his head as Obi-wan was still picking at the slightly burned spot on his tunic. During their kata training he had added a small move of his own. Just a flick of the wrist, spinning the handle of his lightsabre round in his hand. The blade would arc and the handle would end up upside down in his grip. With a second flick of the wrist the handle turned again, and the blade ended up the same as before. Obi-wan had seen it before, and had scolded him for it. But he didn't manage to keep his sleeve out of the way this time, Anakin thought smugly.

"Yes, master."

Obi-wan sighed. "One of these days you will lose a saber duel. Then we'll see how handy those flashy moves of yours are."

"Not likely, master," Anakin grinned.

"You are not the best swordsman out there, Anakin."

"Whatever you say, master."

Obi-wan rolled his eyes at the sarcastic tone in Anakin's voice. Looking around him he stopped in his tracks.

"Anakin, before we go to the mess hall for our lunch, answer me this."

The apprentice stopped right next to his master and looked at him.

"When you complete your trials, what would you like to do as a jedi knight?"

Anakin's eyes unfocused as he remembered his dreams. "I want to the be a field agent, and visit all the planets in the galaxy. And I'll fly in one of those new model jets the Order has gotten recently. They are fast and manoeuvre very easily."

"Ah yes, flying."

Anakin grinned at his master's dislike for flying. "Although I have heard of some jets on Rothia—"

Obi-wan took a step forward and turned, so he was looking at his padawan, with two feet between them.

"—that are even faster. I'd like to take one of those and race every space race there is."

Obi-wan pulled up an eyebrow. "If you want to run every race there is, and might I add that is not acceptable behaviour for a jedi knight, you must be finely attuned to the Living Force. Are you sure you know enough of the Living Force to do so, Anakin?"

Anakin rolled his eyes and sighed. "Master, I used to fly in podraces remember? I know everything there is about the Living Force."

"So you cannot be surprised, is that what you're saying?"

"Yes, master, I can feel everything before it happens."

"Everything?"

"Yes, master."

"Are you sure?"

"Very…sure." Anakin trailed off, his hand reaching towards his lightsaber. A small smile crept up his face as he realized what was going to happen. Obi-wan had told him about the unusual ways Qui-gon had used to teach Obi-wan as a padawan, and now it seemed Obi-wan tried to do the same to him. Ha, not a smart move, old man, Anakin thought.

Instead of crouching Anakin simply took a step to backwards, just as the small vehicle flew by. He had sensed master Yoda's signature coming towards him from the left, and knew he was going to fly straight over his head. Anakin didn't grab his lightsaber from his belt, knowing it wasn't necessary. Knowing he had passed this test he thought of ways to show his master he needed to think of better ways to fool him.

Suddenly his head erupted in pain and Anakin couldn't help but fall to his knee. Quickly bringing up his hand to cover the top of his head he blinked a couple of times to clear his vision of stars and dull the pain. Slowly turning his head he could see the small hover chair of master Yoda fly down the hall. Pointed green ears and the broad tip of a small walking cane were visible sticking out of the side of the hover chair. Anakin looked back at his master and was greeted by a smug smile.

"I can't believe you did that, master," Anakin uttered indignantly.

Obi-wan laid a hand on Anakin's shoulder, just like Qui-gon had done with him so many years ago. "You did good, Anakin. Just remember this lesson." Squeezing his shoulder lightly Obi-wan turned and headed towards the mess hall.

Anakin quickly scrambled to his feet and walked to his master's side. He couldn't miss the twinkle in Obi-wan's eyes.

"That was an unfair trick, master."

"Maybe" Obi-wan's voice betrayed his amusement.

Anakin scowled. "I thought you always said a jedi wasn't supposed to have fun."

Obi-wan shook his head lightly. "No, my padawan. I said a jedi shouldn't have the kind of fun you are always after. A little fun now and then is allowed. Ask master Yoda next time you see him, I'm sure he'll be glad to tell you."

Anakin decided not to dignify his lecture with a response. Obi-wan chuckled.

"Come on, young one. Let's grab something to eat. Then you can show me those flashy moves again in the training area."

Anakin's grumbling only added to Obi-wan's mirth.
