AN: This story is going to be a series of drabbles. Right now I'm writing oneshots about Luke and Obi Wan, but I may start writing about Mace and Leia, or Han and Anakin, things like that. This is "The Life He Deserved" arch, so Anakin never turned.

As far as Obi Wan knew Kit Fisto had been delayed by two rather irate former padawans of his.* Ki-Adi-Mundi had gleefully informed Bant Eerin and Nahdar Vebb of thier Master's comment at the Council Meeting. Kit was effectivally put out of the race.

However, Master Mundi was also delayed when Yoda bombarded him with the Younglings. Seven and eight year old initiates surrounded the elderly Jedi, all claiming that Master Yoda had appointed him their teacher for the day.

Adi and Plo were still out searching for Luke, so Obi Wan had to hurry. He was just about to make his way to the hanger when he heard a much loved voice.

"Obi Wan."

"Master?" Obi Wan turned to see the blue-tinged spirit of Qui Gon Jinn; face stern but eyes sparkling.

"You will go to the hanger bay. There you will gain from Mace Windu, the Jedi who infuriated me."

"Master? Master!" But sadly, Qui Gon Jinn disappeared.

He found Master Windu in the hall leading to the desired hanger bay. He ran over to him.

"Obi Wan, use Anakin's starfighter! It's faster!"

What?

"So we're allies then?"

The words felt rather odd on his tounge but then all things considered they weren't that weird a pair. They'd always been friends. Quite frankly, since both of them were training Skywalker children, the alliance between the two might go on indefinately.

Mace's head bobbed up and down once distractedly. He was peaking his head around the corner to make sure the coast was clear. Suddenly, he wheeled around, grabbed the surprised Obi Wan by the shoulders and thrust him into a conveinantly placed closet.

"Mmmph" was the dignified sound the Negotiater made as he stumbled backwards. After a few minutes spent trying to dislodge his boot from a cleaning bucket, Obi Wan heard voices.

"Hear that racket coming from the closet did you?"

"There isn't time for that Master Yoda! If you want to take Luke as your padawan, you have to get to the Senate building and find Padme NOW or it will be too late."

"Go I shall. My grattitude you have."

Obi Wan smiled. Luke wasn't anywhere near the Senate building. The Force-bond he shared with Luke quite clearly communicated that the boy was asleep in the Skywalker apartment.

"Thank you, Mace." Obi Wan said as he emerged from the closet.

Mace's face twisted into something that looked like guilt. Lying to Master Yoda hadn't been easy.

"Do you see anyone else coming?" Mace responded.

Obi Wan peered into the hanger bay, "Crap, Adi! How did she get here so fast?"

"Does Adi know where Anakin lives?"

"Yes, Master Gallia knows exactly where we live. She came by yesterday."

Both Jedi started horribly at the soprano voice behind them. They both whirled to face the one and only Leia Skywalker.

"Leia! Don't sneak up on me like that! Haven't I told you that you should lower your shields somewhat while inside the Temple?"

"Sorry, Master I was just-"

"Wait, Leia. Leia! LEIA!" Obi Wan sported a sort of 'Eureka!' facial expression.

Said Leia was very confused. "Um...yes Ben?"

Obi Wan's visage schooled back into it's usual stern expression. "Go over to Master Adi and tell her you need to talk to her about your female problems."

"What?"

"Padawan, now if you please. This is a...delicate matter." Mace gave his padawan the signature you'd-better-do-it-no-matter-how-weird-my-request-is glare.

Leia sighed, but relented. After all, she was stuck between the guilt of letting down Ben, and the terror of letting down her new Master. She ran toward Adi.

"Master Gallia! Um...I met a boy! I need to talk to you about him, in depth, right away!"

Adi was successfully delayed. Mace pushed his friend forward.

"Go, go! And may the Force be with you."

Obi Wan ran towards Anakin's hidiously ugly yellow starfighter and took off. However, Master Plo Koon also took off. The Council Member's ship did a neat little flip over Obi Wan and began to make it's way to the Skywalker residence.

However, Master Plo had forgotten something else about the famed Jedi Master he was up against. Obi Wan excelled at mind tricks. After a generous use of the Force, he had manipulated all weak minded speeder drivers in the air to block Plo's path.

As Obi Wan flew past the frustrated Jedi Master, he gave a cheeky little salute.

*Gah, sorry for that mistake in the last chapter. Kit Fisto trained two padawans named Bant Eerin and Nahdar Verr. I tried to make up for it in this one. Anyway, please review! I really appreciate reviews! :D
