Chapter 2- Fool

"Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?"-Obi-wan Kenobi, A New Hope

Waking up before Sasha the next morning, Obi-wan got ready and left the apartment leaving a note behind. He made his way to the hanger, and took a speeder to Padme's apartment. He pulled up on the landing platform, climbed out of his speeder, and took the lift up to her apartment. Once he reached the top the lift dinged and the doors opened. C-3P0, Padme's droid, stood there waiting.

"Master Kenobi, you are not expected to arrive until later," Threepio said.

Obi-wan stepped forward. "I need to speak with Padme and Satine. Are they here?"

"Well, yes, they are in the kitchen," Threepio said. "Planning for this evening." The droid lead him towards the kitchen. "Master Anakin is here too."

Obi-wan nodded, but a thought did come to his mind, why is Anakin here so early? He shook the thought away and continued to follow the droid.

Padme and Satine were sitting at the table with mugs in their hands. Anakin was learning against the island counter top arms folded across his chest.

"Mistress Padme, Master Kenobi is here," Threepio said.

Padme looked around at Obi-wan. She smiled. Satine looked up too, and a smile grew onto her face. Anakin turned to face his former Mentor.

"Obi-wan, here to help decorate?" Padme asked.

"Well…umm… I kind of have a problem," Obi-wan said.

"And what's that? Speeder malfunctioning again," Anakin said mocking.

Obi-wan shook his head.

"Then what? Forget Sasha's birthday?" Padme asked mocking.

Obi-wan's head lowered. Padme's smirk started to fade.

"You didn't, did you?" She asked.

Obi-wan kept silent.

Padme and Anakin looked at him, shocked.

"You did!" Satine said, standing.

Obi-wan's head shot up.

"It's not that I meant to forget," he said. "But after that blow to the head I got last week, I've been forgetting everything."

Anakin nodded. One day after he was released, Obi-wan forgot his lightsaber for a sparring duel between Anakin and him. Obi, embarrassed, ran back to his room to get it. All Anakin remembered doing when he returned was rolling on the floor, laughing.

"But I don't want her to know I forgot," Obi-wan said. 'I just want her to think I was fooling with her and I remembered all along."

"That's easy to do, but do you have a gift?" Anakin asked.

"No. I was supposed to make it last week but…"

"You forgot," Padme finished.

"What were you going to get her?" Satine asked.

"Well her lightsaber has been deactivating completely at random lately," he said. "I was going to make her a new lightsaber, but I need the parts."

"If you leave now, you could get the parts and the Ilum crystal, and build it before the party tonight," Anakin said.

"I will, but I'll need a cover," Obi-wan said.

"No problem," Padme said.

Obi-wan smiled his thanks and headed back to the lift.

He pushed the button just as he heard his name being called. He turned to see Satine running to him. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. Obi-wan was shocked by the kiss, but melted in to it. Satine then pulled away.

"Be careful," She whispered. "And hurry back.'

"I will," he whispered.

Obi-wan kissed her forehead and entered the lift. He turned to face her.

"I love you," she whispered.

"I know," he said as the doors closed.

Aw I bring love in Chapter 2! Trust me there will be more love to come and I'll give you a hint. It's not Satine and Obi-wan. Review!
