Strange Weather We're Having

Jane and Bant were scheming. And when they were scheming, it never led to anything good. For Obi-Wan, at least.

So it was one particular day, Bant started banging on the door to the apartment owned by Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Jane.

"Obiwanobiwanobiwan!" Bant screamed. Obi-Wan threw open the door to have his hand siezed by Bant. "Come on!"

"Where are we going?" Obi-Wan asked, struggling to keep up.

He was very confused, and his confusion only grew as he saw Jane dragging Siri Tachi down the hall in the direction he and Bant had been coming from.

Suddenly, Bant and Jane both turned sharply in the same direction. Next thing Obi-Wan knew, his back had painfully collided with a wall. Before he could recover, the blonde apprentice crashed into his chest, sending him backwards into the wall again.

"Ow!" Obi-Wan exclaimed, holding the back of his head.

Siri struggled to get free off of Obi-Wan, but she was too late the door had hissed closed, locking them in. They heard the sounds of Jane and Bant's laughter down the hall.

"Let us out! This isn't funny!" Siri screamed.

"I don't think they're coming for us," Obi-Wan said, painfully climbing to his feet.

"Kenobi, I'm going to have to kill your best friend and sister," Siri said, crossing her arms.

"I won't stand in your way," Obi-Wan said. He sighed and hit the door with his fist in frustration. "I guess we're stuck here."

They stood there in the dark, facing each other.

"So." Siri said awkwardly.

"So," Obi-Wan repeated. "Strange weather we're having."

"Yep," Siri said, popping the p.

They stood there. Siri watched as Obi-Wan rubbed his lower back.

"What happened to you?" Siri asked sharply.

"Back pain courtesy of Bant and Jane," Obi-Wan said grumpily. Siri nodded.

"I tell ya, they're short and innocent-looking but devious to the core," Siri said.

"Tell me about it," Obi-Wan said with a snort. He grimaced. "Sparring is not going to be pleasant tomorrow."

"I know a muscle-pain relieving technique," Siri blurted out after a moment of hesitation. "If you want, I can use it on your back."

"Um, okay," Obi-Wan said, glad of the darkness so that she couldn't see his red cheeks. Unknown to him, Siri was thinking the same about her own sudden change in skin tone.

"Here, let's sit on the floor," Siri said. Siri sat down against the wall and Obi-Wan sat in front of her. Siri gently rubbed Obi-Wan's back.

"Thanks, that feels good," Obi-Wan said, relaxing as he felt some of the pain disappear.

"No problem," Siri said. They sat in silence for a moment, then Siri spoke up again. "So, what exactly do you think they are expecting us to do in here?"

"Beats me," Obi-Wan said.

"Are they snogging yet?" Jane whispered to Bant, who had her ear pressed against the door. An hour had passed since they had locked the two older apprentices in the closet.

"Don't think so," Bant whispered back.

But then their eyes both widened as they heard Siri's voice.

"How does that feel?"

"Okay. There's still a little bit of pain," Obi-Wan said.

"Take off your shirt. Skin on skin will feel better."

"Alright," Obi-Wan said. A moment later, he softly moaned. "Siri, that feels wonderful."

"I thought it would," Siri said in a smug voice.

Jane and Bant looked at each other.

"I think," Jane said in a strained voice. "We don't want to know."

Bant nodded. They both got up and ran away.

Siri paused in rubbing Obi-Wan's back.

"You know, it just occurred to me that we could use the Force to undo the lock." She said, frowning at the fact that neither of them had come to that conclusion earlier.

"Huh. Guess we can." Obi-Wan climbed to his feet and pulled his shirt back on. With some careful concentration, he undid the lock. He and Siri grimaced at the bright lights.

"So, um," Obi-Wan said said. "Thanks again."

"Anytime," Siri said. "So I guess I'll see you around?"

"Yeah, I guess so," Obi-Wan said, nodding.

"Then… see you," Siri said.

She walked down the hallway. Obi-Wan watched her for a moment and smiled briefly as he let his eyes wander down her figure, then shook his head to get himself back to reality. Mentally scolding himself, he started down the hall in the other direction.

Unbeknownst to him, Siri paused in her walk to gaze over her shoulder. She smiled as she watched him walk.

What I would do to claim that backside as mine, She thought. Chuckling to herself, she continued to walk.
