Though Calista missed her homeworld dearly, she would not change the past three years for anything. Though she had become used to being alone, Cal found it much more gratifying to have people willing to support you. It was something that were only a part of Calista's dreams: to have brothers like Garen and Reeft, a close companion in Bant, to have Obi-Wan―"Obi-Wan," Calista sighed as she wandered through the library archives. After three years of friendship, it was to Cal's dismay that it was Asha of all people to inform her that Obi-Wan was her spark. In retrospect, this fact did not surprise Calista at all. Obi-Wan was the first to put an effort into getting to know her. He was kind, strong, stubborn, compassionate, and so much more. He fought for what he believed in, even if he stood alone in his beliefs. All of this combined made a soul that mixed with Cal's perfectly. After he and Qui-Gon returned from their six-month mission to Kalevala in a few days, Calista knew she would have to confront it. She knew the chances of Obi-Wan not returning her feelings were slim to none, but she did not want him to sacrifice any of his values to save her...
Suddenly the world started to fade around the edges, black spots dancing across her vision. Calista felt the urge to vomit come as her body started to overheat. She looked up, surprised to see Obi-Wan standing there. Calista tried to walk towards him, but her body gave out before she could take one more step. Before falling unconscious, Obi-Wan managed to catch her. Calista smiled deliriously, wishing to assure him that she would be alright, but the darkness swallowed her before Calista could say anything

"Obi-Wan, you need to calm down. Worrying won't help her get better."
Obi-Wan stopped pacing for a moment before resuming. "I know, but they can't find anything medically wrong with her other than a slight fever."
"The answers will come when you aren't looking for them," Qui-Gon told him, stroking the crown of Calista's head. "We can get answers once she wakes up."
The Padawan sighs, nodding at his Master's wisdom before sitting on the edge of the bed, grasping Calista's hand in his own. Obi-Wan used his other hand to find her pulse, letting the beat lull him. This isn't what he expected when he finally returned to Coruscant. Obi-Wan has been hoping to spend the rest of the day in Calista's company, trying to find the courage Satine had given him to tell Cal how much he cared about her, much more than mere friendship could ever define.
Qui-Gon smirked, feeling his Padawan's love for Calista flow into the room. "She'll recover. You two have much to discuss for her to do otherwise," he teased.
"Force I hope so," Obi-Wan mumbled.
"If she's anything like Asha, Calista will be fine," a new voice said. Obi-Wan looked up to see a teenager standing in the doorway. He had a chiseled jaw, tanned skin and piercing green eyes (though not as attractive as Calista's, in Obi-Wan's completely unbiased opinion). "Hmmm," the newcomer hummed, looking between the two men. "You must be Obi-Wan," he smiled, holding his hand out to the younger, who cautiously shook his hand. "Calista has told me so much about you. I'm Caleb, her brother-in-law."
Obi-Wan's eyes flashed in recognition, relieved that he could finally put a face to the name."Yes, Calista has mentioned you before."
Caleb grinned, releasing Obi-Wan and looking at the Jedi Master. "And this must be the famous Qui-Gon Jinn."
Qui-Gon scoffed. "I don't think I'm famous," he said, accepting the hand offered.
"According to Calista you are. She's always telling us about you and Yoda whenever she calls. We all thought it was a rather interesting development when Cal mentioned she'd made a friend," Caleb said with a wink, causing Obi-Wan to blush an interesting shade of scarlet. "Anyway, I came to pick up Calista and bring her home."
"What?!" Obi-Wan yelped, his grip on Cal's hand tightening reflexively.
Caleb held up his hands. "Don't worry, Obi-Wan. You and Qui-Gon are coming too."
Obi-Wan felt his Master stiffen. "She's not going to wake up, is she." It wasn't a question.
The other boy glanced at his sister, eyes already filled with grief. "Unless I can get her back to Domus ASAP, Cal's not gonna live to see tomorrow."
