Amanda - It looks like this is all for you. ; ) I hope you like it.
WHERE IS EVERYONE? Did I miss something? I hope you all come back soon. Now for my shameless plug: I haven't posted to 'Catch Me' because I haven't gotten any new reviews. So if, you happen to be reading that too, even if you just submit one letter I would be happy. Anyway, here's the last post for this little vignette. Thanks for those who have read!! : D

MysAri woke early the next morning and quietly released herself from Obi- Wan's embrace. Tenderly, she caressed his face, hoping not to wake him. She had always been a morning person and knew that Obi-Wan always felt that morning came to early for him. Getting up, she headed for the 'fresher to prepare for the days deliberations. MysAri was prepped and ready before Obi-Wan stirred. Rolling over, he drifted back into the loving hands of sleep. MysAri paused before exiting to drink in his image one last time before departing. A sad smile curled her lips prior to closing the door behind her. The contentment she felt in her heart was for but a single night. And that night had passed. She found her way to the King's parlor and started the mediations.
**
Hours later, MysAri returned to the room to find her friend awake and writing. "Glad to see you're up." She said as she entered. ""What are your plans for this afternoon?" She sat across from him.
"You know I don't have any. What did you have in mind?" He eyed her quickly before putting down his datapad.
"Well, I thought we could check out some of the sights. Ambassador Celin has granted us permission to use his speeder." She allowed her idea to sink in and the moment for herself to relax. The meeting had been long and boring as she predicted. She needed to escape the palace or else she would go mad.
"Will Archon Celin be joining us?" Obi-Wan asked suspiciously. After all, the Archon was the whole reason for his presence here.
Reading into the implication she retorted, "Actually, because of our little display last night, he apologized for being so forthcoming. He said, that he now understood monogamous relationships and even wished us a happy life together. Little do they know." Her smile was only half hearted and Obi- Wan could see a brief instance of pain flash behind her eyes before she deftly pushed it back. "Anyway, the negotiations will be concluded tomorrow and we'll be free to leave. See, I told you that this would be a short trip." The spark returning to her jade eyes. Obi-Wan gave a light laugh. He thought wryly, It's not over yet. "Come on, let's go out."
Obi-Wan smiled and finally accepted. "Alright. But it's your treat." Together the two left and enjoyed the sights of Twila.
The rest of the night and following day were uneventful. Obi-Wan wrote during MysAri's negotiations and everything concluded perfectly. At night they slept in their respective couches facing each other. When it finally came time to leave, they were happy to be going home. There were still momentary reminisces of awkwardness between them and they tried to fend them off by covering them up with sly remarks. The 'Stanza' returned to carry them back to Coruscant. MysAri could feel her time draw short and resigned herself to the inevitable.
After landing on Coruscant, they gathered their things to disembark. Obi- Wan could no longer stand the small void between them, and as they walked out he stopped her again. She glanced at him questioningly and he stared at her hand as he held it. Summoning the courage to discuss the night of the banquet he began, "Mys, I can't."
She cut him off by placing a finger to his lips. "Don't. As I've told you before, all I ever wanted and could ask for is your friendship. As long as you grant me that I am contented." She watched as he looked at her hand. Slowly he nodded. "Now don't make me hurt you and break my promise." He laughed, she had upheld her end of the bargain. He had made it through a mission without the need to visit the Medical Ward. She always knew how to lighten the mood.
"Alright, my friend." He awarded her and her smile relieved his heart.
"Now don't be a stranger. I always return a message. And I look forward to your next /adventure./" She hinted and then something sparked her memory. "Oh and I, um, well, to the liberty of providing your publisher a holo." She turned to exit the ship.
Horrified, Obi-Wan called after her. "Whose?"
She glanced over her shoulder and smiled. "Master Yoda's." As she walked away she placed the joyous laughter of her beloved in her heart.
