Chapter 3

Obi-wan awoke in the sick wing. "what happened!?!" he asked. Sitting up suddenly. Then he

remembered: he had been at dinner, and Yoda had been annoyed because he wouldn't pass the salt.

Then Satine had said his name, and he had fainted. " Obi-wan, I am ashamed of you" he muttered

under his breath. He must have fainted for some other reason. Maybe he'd eaten too much food. Yes, he

must have eaten too much. He got up, muttering "I'm okay" to the panicked nurses, and ran out the

door...right into Anakin. " hello" Obi-wan said.

" Hey," replied Anakin, " I saw you faint at dinner. What was up with that?"

" I just had too much to eat, that was all." Said Obi-wan conversationally.

" What? You? Eat too much? Never" Anakin teased.

Obi-wan scoweled. He hoped that he'd had too much to eat, because the other possibility was too un-

Jedi-ish to consider.

" Well, I'll see you later, Anakin," Obi-wan said, and turned and walked down the corridor, away from

any possible encounters with curious Jedi masters.

Later, despite his attempts to avoid everyone until the gossip calmed down, Obi-wan was

cornered by Ahoska.

" Well, what happened?" Anakin's padawan asked.

" what do you mean?" he replied, knowing perfectly well what she ment.

" Well, I heard you fainted at dinner" Ahoska said, looking hopeful.

" If you think I'M going to tell you the details, then your WRONG!" Obi-wan yelled. Ahoska, looking

upset, turned and ran down the corridor. Obi-wan took a few deep breaths, then started walking in

Ahoska's general direction, thinking to apoligize. But then he bumped into Yoda.

" Obi-wan, we to talk need. Me follow" he commanded. Obi-wan swallowed nervously. Now what? He

thought.
