Disclaimer: *Finds Rilme and starts telling her the plan* Once my incredible plan is finished, I will own Star Wars and anything else I want! But until then, I own nothing except the dog currently sitting beside me.

In this chapter, Troy, Rilla, and Obi-Wan are 23 and Anakin is 13.

Choosing a Padawan...

"So, you're really thinking about taking a Padawan?" Troy Ridley asked, coming up behind his wife, Rilla.

Without turning, she replied, "Yes, I am. You know I've been thinking about it for a while now."

"True but I would've thought Anakin would have changed your mind," he said, laughing.

Rilla chuckled, "Anakin can be a pill sometimes but, technically, he's Obi-Wan's pill. I'm just there to help my brother out."

"And he'll do the same for you." It wasn't a question.

"Most likely," she said, still not looking back at him.

Leaning over her, which wasn't hard to do as he was over a foot taller than her, Troy looked down from the observation balcony they were on at the group of younglings below. Though he hadn't mentioned it to Rilla yet, he had been thinking about taking on an apprentice himself. He was slightly surprised to see that the group she was currently looking at was the same one he had been watching the day before.

"Great minds think a like," he mumbled, amused.

"Pardon?"

"I was watching this group yesterday," he explained.

"Ah." Oddly enough, she didn't look at all surprised. "Any particular one you've got your eye on?"

"Uh... yeah, I do," he said, still surprised she seemed to have already know. ~My wife is becoming Yoda~ he thought. Then he pointed to one of the younglings towards the center of the group, "I was thinking about that one. His name is Eugene Banter." His wife gave him a strange look, " I know it's an odd name but, really, you can't tell me that 'Obi-Wan' isn't a little strange too."

She seemed to consider this for a moment before saying, "I won't argue."

"Anyway, he gets good grades, though he seems to have a hard time in Politics," that got a snort from his wife, "and his saber skills are well developed. How about you? Anyone you've got your eye on?"

She pointed towards a boy standing off to one side of the group, a couple feet away from everyone else. "I'm thinking about that one. Aaron Tibén. He makes good grades as well, though struggles with science, can't say I blame him, and is incredibly good with a lightsaber."

"Why is he out there by himself?" Troy asked.

Rilla sighed, "He's more gifted in the Unifying Force than the Living Force and, for whatever reason, other younglings seem to think that's weird."

Troy nodded. While he himself was gifted with the Living Force, Rilla and Obi-Wan were incredibly strong with the Unifying Force and they had been teased for it. "No wonder your drawn to the boy."

"Yeah..." was all she said.

He smiled and wrapped an arm around her waist and hugged her, "Let me know when you decide."

She leaned against him and closed her eyes from a moment, "I will. You do the same."

"Of course," he whispered.

The two just stood there for a few minutes, arms wrapped around each other.

oooooooOOOOOOOoooooo

2 weeks later...

Troy was walking towards Rilla and Obi-Wan's quarters with is new Padawan next to him.

Eugene excitied to be a Padawan. His Master has just braided his Padawan braid for the first time and now they were going to meet a 'special friend' of his.

"Master?"

"Yes, Padawan?"

"Who is your special friend that we're going to see?"

Troy smiled, "You'll see."

ooooooOOOOOOOooooo

Meanwhile, in the Kenobi/Skywalker/Ridley quarters, Rilla was spread out across her bed, completely tangled up in the covers, while Obi-Wan Kenobi was on the floor, more than halfway under his bed, both sound asleep.

Two Padawans stood in the doorway trying to figure out how they were going to wake them up.

Anakin Skywalker turned to his fellow Padawan and said, "I think we should wake Master Obi-Wan up first. He's less likely to bite us if we do. And then he can wake up Rilla." He then proceeded to walk towards Obi-Wan's bed.

Aaron Tibén, Padawan of one week, followed behind silently, unsure of what to do. But Anakin seemed to know what he was doing, so Aaron decided to follow his lead.

The two now stood over Obi-Wan, Aaron chose that moment to ask the question that was currently on his mind, "How are we gonna wake him up?"

Anakin grinned, "Easy. Like this." He knelt down and began to stare intensely at Obi-Wan.

Aaron knelt down beside him and began to do the same. After a few minutes, he looked at the other Padawan and asked, "Does this actually work?"

"It usually does," Anakin said, not breaking his intense staring.

Aaron shrugged and turned back to stare at the sleeping Jedi in front of him.

Finally, Obi-Wan began to stir. Opening his eyes, he found two Padawans staring at him. Yelping in surprise, he tried to jump up only to slam into the underside of his bed.

"Ouch!" He yelled.

That startled Rilla awake, who also jumped, more successfully than her brother, and hit the floor hard.

"ANAKIN!!" They both yelled.

When Troy and his apprentice entered the room a few minutes later, they found two Padawans being chased my two very unhappy, and clearly half asleep, Masters.

"These are your friends?" Eugene asked.

"Yep," Troy replied with a smile.

"Who are they? I recognize Aaron from my Crèche clan but not the others."

"The one with the long, mullet style hair, which I strongly advised against, is my best friend Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Padawan he's currently chasing is Anakin Skywalker."

Eugene nodded, "But what about the lady?"

"Ah, you see, she's the special friend I was telling you about."

"What's so special about her?" he asked, confused.

"She's special because she's my wife."

ooooooOOOOOOooooo

A/N: So, just thought it should be noted that, at this point, Troy and Rilla have two children. The second one will introduced in the next chapter.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter. If you have any ideas or things you want to see (for chapters of this story or another story entirely), leave a review and I'll do my best. Also, if there are any questions about things that have happened that I haven't specifically addressed or if you want me to explain a certain aspect of this universe, again leave a review and I'll see what I can do. Hope that makes sense, putting thoughts into words isn't my strongest point.
