10. Pranks in the Jedi Temple

Characters: Kourei / Obi-Wan Kenobi / Anakin Skywalker / Yoda / Kit Fisto, Mace Windu (Mentioned)

Pranks were a common thing in the Jedi Temple, where hundreds of Jedi lived, learnt and well, had fun with each other. More often than not, it would be Yoda who would initiate such tricks, and the younglings he taught would follow suit. However, when the Viceroy of Ornari was visiting, the younglings had tons more fun. Every single Jedi knew that the Ar-Kourei as close a non-Jedi could get to being a sort-of honorary Jedi, given her past track record for aiding the Jedi Order, and that she absolutely loved children. Why, she was the one who secretly egged Kit Fisto on to hotwire Yoda's hover-chair and told Mace Windu that he looked better without any hair on his head…

So, one brilliant and peaceful morning, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker woke up to the scent of Ornarian rose-tea and something so sinister that Master and Padawan dared not utter after the incident had passed.

Oh yes, the entire Jedi Temple was filled with screams of "I will kill Kourei right now!" "Why the hell is my hair pink!" and "Master, I believe that you're wearing a rather skimpy Ornarian female swimsuit…" Strangely, despite the trademark pink dye that the Ornarian Viceroy always used, she could not be found by the pair.

"Well Master Yoda," Kourei said in the Jedi Council Chamber with Yoda, sipping a hearty swig of Alderaanian wine. "For one of the most famous pairs of Master and Padawan, Kenobi and Skywalker are rather… slow, aren't they?"

Yoda chuckled. "Hmmm, saw through them you have. Like to be the butt of their own pranks, they do not. Perhaps the younglings have more fun, the younglings will, and learn from the master, they will."

To that, Kourei said nothing, but raised her wine-glass and dipped her head slightly as a sign of recognition. It would not be long before Anakin and Obi-Wan found her, and she had best find herself a decent hiding-place before they could lay their hands on her. That would be a really funny sight at her own expense, after all.
