It's Monday! And you are thinking why on earth are so freaking excited about that? Well one there is one week until 24 returns! And two this is my last week of classes before next week where I only have one final! #collegelife

Anyway, I have another chapter for you guys! Love you!

Last time: Jac and Cayden are at the palace.

Now: Obi-wan has been assigned to watch Satine and is spending alone time with her.

Chapter 11- Time Alone

"And finally, here is your quarters," Sasha said overly dramatic as she and Obi-wan were showing Satine around on their way to the quarters she was assigned by the council.

The door slid open and they entered into the small room. It had a single bed, a closet, a refresher, a couple of small cushions, a desk, and a window looking out into the busy city. Satine walked over and sat down on the bed. Obi-wan set her luggage down near the closet then stretched.

"So what do you think?" Sasha asked.

"It's cute," Satine said as she bounced slightly on the bed. "I'll be just fine here."

"Well if you need either of us, we are around the corner and second door to the left," Obi-wan said. "And if you can't find us, then don't be afraid to contact Ahsoka or Master Yoda for anything."

"Thank you, you two," Satine said as she stood up and walked over to them.

"Well do you need anything before we head back to our apartment?' Sasha asked.

"Um, no," Satine said looking around the room. "I'm just gonna unpack then probably go and get some food."

"I have a council meeting in a twenty minutes, so maybe Sasha can finish her tour for you then I'll find you girls when I'm done and we can go get food from Dex's,' Obi-wan said.

"Yes!" Sasha said in agreement.

Satine giggled. "Sounds like a plan."

Ob-wan smiled. Sasha and he left her alone to unpack. Satine smiled and started to unpack her clothes into the closet. She then put her hair brush and hair things on the desk. She then put her bathroom products into the refresher. Once she was done, she exited the room and looked around the corridor. A couple of female padawans were walking by talking and giggling. But other than them, the corridor was relatively empty.

Satine turned the corner and followed Obi-wan directions to their apartment. Assuming she found the right door, Satine knocked. After a moment, Sasha appeared at the door. She smiled at her.

"See ya later, Master," Sasha said as she closed the door behind her. She turned to her. "Let's go."

The two of them walked through the corridors of the Temple. Sasha had shown her the Meditation Gardens, Room of a Thousand Fountains, the training dojos, the Crèche, the Halls of Healing, and the Archives. The Temple was amazing for sure, and Satine could understand why her Jedi protectors talked so highly of it.

"And there you have it," Sasha said. 'The Jedi Temple."

"Well thank you for the tour, Sasha," Satine said. "This place is incredible."

"SASHA!" a voice called behind them.

Sasha and Satine turned to see Ahsoka running toward them with a grin. She tackled her friend with a hug. Sasha laughed when she did so.

"What was that for?" Sasha asked as they pulled apart.

"No reason," Ahsoka said. "Just thought it'd be funny. And besides I heard that you were back." Ahsoka turned to Satine. "Hey Satine. Long time, no see.'

"Hello, Ahsoka," Satine said. "How are you?"

"Pretty good," Ahsoka said. "But really bummed."

"Why?" Satine asked.

"Because Skyguy and Senator Amidala got to go to Naboo for a mission, and I am stuck here because of this test," she said pouting.

"Speaking of which, how did that go?" Sasha asked.

"I felt good about it, but I have no idea what I actually got," she said. "They said that they were posting grades tomorrow."

"Well you'll do fine," Sasha said. 'That test was a piece of cake when I took it."

"I hope your right," Ahsoka said. "So what are you guys up to?"

"Well Master Obi-wan in a council session, but once he is done, we are heading to Dex's,' Sasha said.

"I'd love to go, but I need some serious help with my saber routine for duel class," she said. "It's due next week." She grabbed Sasha's arm. "Could you please help me, Sash!?"

Sasha looked to be thinking about it for a moment then nodded.

"Alright, let's go," Sasha said. She then looked to Satine. "Tell my Master I won't be coming, but make sure to bring me back some take out."

"Deal," Satine said.

Sasha smiled and the two padawans raced off to the training dojo. Suddenly a hand rested on her shoulder causing her to jump, terrified. She looked up at the chuckling Obi-wan.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," he said. He looked towards his padawan. "Where are they going? I thought she wanted to get food."

"She did, but Ahsoka need her help with some lightsaber routine," Satine said. "But she did ask for us to bring her something."

"Alright," He said. "I'm proud of her for helping Ahsoka. So I guess I can pay her back with food."

Satine laughed. "So can we go?"

"Let's," Obi-wan said leading the way to the hanger.

"Obi-wan, you old dog, it's good to see ya," Dexter the Jester said as Obi-wan and Satine entered the diner.

Satine was wearing a hood to cover her face. Obi-wan also had her behind him almost as if he was protecting her from his old friend.

"Hey, Dex," Obi-wan said. "Table for two?"

"Anything for you, old buddy," Dex said as he came over and enveloped Obi-wan into a tight hug.

He set Obi-wan down and caught a glance at Satine. He looked back at Obi-wan and led him to the farthest booth from the door.

"Obi-wan, is that Duchess Satine of Mandalore with you?" Dex whispered to his friend as they walked to that booth.

"Yes, I'm protecting her from the Death Watch," Obi-wan whispered back. "So if we can keep it on the down low, that'd be great."

"No problem," Dex whispered then said. "Alright, here you are. A table for two."

Obi-wan slid in to the side where the clearest view of the door and the window was. Satine sat across from him.

"Alright, I get back to the kitchen," he said. "But Flo will take care of you two."

"Thanks, Dex,' Obi-wan said as his friend ventured off to the kitchen.

The servant droid, Flo, came over and took their orders. After a while, the food came out. Obi-wan took a bite of his burger and moaned softly in response. He need this burger as it was so good. Satine was eating a salad with soup. The two of them ate in silence until Obi-wan finally spoke up.

"So what did you think of the Temple?" he asked.

"It's so beautiful and it's massive," Satine said. "I really like the Room of a Thousand Fountains and the Meditation Gardens."

"Those are my favorite rooms," he said with a smile. Satine blushed. "I always enjoy going there to meditate and to relax, especially since this war started."

"Well if you can't find me in my room, I'd most likely be there," Satine said. 'This will be nice to relax even though I know I'm being chased."

Obi-wan reached across the table and gently grabbed her hand.

"I'll make sure to protect you with my life," he said.

Satine looked up to him and smiled.

"I know you will," she said. "After all, you are my Jedi Knight in shining armor."

He grinned at that as she giggled. They finished their meals and Obi-wan asked for a check. Dex said it was on the house (like always). Obi-wan then asked for Sasha's order. They waited until Dex brought them a bag of food for Sasha. They thanked Dex then left the diner.

As they walked to the speeder, Obi-wan noticed that the streets were kind of baren today. His gaze then shifted to Satine's hand near his free hand. He grabbed it and laced his fingers with her. She looked up at him with a look that told her that she was startled at the same time worried someone would see them. He gave her a small smile that everything will be alright. She smiled and squeezed his hand. He led her to the speeder that was parked in a now empty speeder lot.

He opened the door for her and handed her Sasha's meal before he walked around to his seat of the closed top speeder. Once inside, he looked over to her. She was pulling on her seat belt and noticed his gaze. He leaned in to her and kissed her. They held the kiss for a moment before letting it get a little passionate. He pulled away, smiled, and rested his forehead against hers.

"I love you," he said softly.

"And I love you," Satine said.

He smiled and pulled away. He started up the speeder and drove them back to the Temple as the sun set.
