Horror on Yavin IV

(Obi and Kiya are 15)

They would be going on another mission. Again. After coming back from one a week ago. A tense one. Obi-Wan sighed as he walked behind his master and next to Kiya.

"Oh, come on Obi, it'll be fun!"

"It's not my fault that you happen to like missions and flying a lot more then I do."

Sigh. "Well, looks like you're in a Sithly mood, mr. 'I hate flying'."

There was no reply but a grumble.

- Hours and Hours and Hours Later-

"Let us invite our ambassadors to the feast now that the negotiations have been peacefully settled!"

The roar from the crowd was deafening.

As they sat down at the table, the funnily dressed waiters came out bearing plates.

Following his master, Obi-Wan picked up his fork and knife and pushed it into the thing that was on his plate... And screamed. He leaped up wildly, stumbling away from the table as the bug that was as big as his head scuttled away on the table in a rather distracted manner. He staggered, mind swirling and stomach reeling. This was not good. He felt himself turn green.

"Obi! Stop!"

"Padawan, calm down!"

Too late. He crashed into the prime minister and promptly threw up.

Among the many sounds he heard vaguely, he heard laughter.

As he lifted his tear-filled eyes, he saw his master and Kiya doubled over with laughter. This day couldn't get any worse. And of course, just to spite him, he fainted. Yep, this day just hit the all-time low...

When he woke up he was in his own room in the Jedi temple, with Kiya bending over him.

"Oh, good, I thought you'd never wake up."

He glared. She rolled her eyes and scuttled out as master came in.

His master was not happy. "But master, you didn't really expect me to eat a raw insect as big as my head?!"

Oops. That did not go over well... He just took the scolding. After all, his master had to apologize for a whole hour.

"Funny, I could have sworn that the force is laughing at me."

His master suddenly stared at him.

"What?" His master suddenly turned red and hastily walked out of the room.

Uh oh. He hoped that didn't mean trouble... funny though, he never did get a scolding for it.
