Chapter V
I open my eyes and instantly squint; sunshine fills the room. Rolling over I prop myself up with one arm and watch Padmé sleep next to me. Flipping over, I check the time.
Shooting straight up I reach around blindly for my shirt. Shoving it on, I attempt switch pants while walking. Almost falling, I catch myself on the bed and look around for my boots; they are over by the door. Grabbing my robe I glance at Padmé one last time.
"I'll be back later Angel." I whisper before slipping out.
"There you are!" Obi wan hurries to keep up with my long stride. "I've been looking for you all morning! Where have you been?"
"I've been trying to fix my lightsaber." It is not a total lie; my lightsaber has been acting funny for a couple days I just haven't tried to fix it.
"Uh-oh, what happened?" Sarcasm seeps through my old Master's voice and I feel a twinge of anger.
"Nothing, it's just acting funny." I change the subject. "Why did you want to see me?"
"Oh right!" Obi wan rubs his beard. "The council has assigned us to Geonosis to destroy a weapons factory built there."
"Great!" I throw my hands up in the air, barely missing a passing padawan. We continue our walk. "Dust Bowl Number Two!"
"It won't be that bad." Obi wan grins.
"What is so funny?" I spit.
"You. I thought you would be pleased to have a mission."
"I am." I sigh. "I just didn't get much sleep."
We enter and open breeze way that runs over a large garden in the Temple. The dark stone arches on either side of me must be eighty meters tall if not more. I hear water in the garden below.
"Funny, you say you didn't sleep very long yet you over slept."
"I'm warning you." I felt slightly guilty for not telling Obi wan the truth but I push the feeling away.
"Okay, okay!" He puts his hands up in mock surrender. "But you have to meet with Master Unduli and me later to plan our mission."
"Uh uh." I head towards the dorms, looking for my padawan.
