We were on our way to visit the Duchess Satine of Mandalore due to accusations that she was building up an army for the Separatists. Jenna had insisted upon coming when she heard the name Satine. The Time Lady was dying to see our friend again. All I knew was that she was also dying to embarrass me in front of the Duchess... Or set me up with her. Knowing Jenna, it was probably both. I lived by the Jedi Code. Even if I did have those kind of feelings for Satine... Which I didn't! ... I would never be able to be with her. We arrived at the palace, Jenna practically bouncing off the walls with excitement. I too was very excited. When Duchess Satine came into the throne room, well...
"Well, Master Kenobi... JENNA?!" Satine was surprised to see Jenna, due to my friend's appearance. Jenna was quite frozen in time, though the girl had made efforts to change in appearance, for example: Jenna had dyed strips of her hair blue. But it was obvious that Jenna hadn't aged a day, and standing in her blue Mandalorian armor, which was a gift from the Duchess, Jenna looked like she hadn't even aged an hour.
"Hiya, Satine." Jenna waved timidly. "How've you been?"
"Jenna... You haven't aged a day!" Satine exclaimed. Jenna shifted uncomfortably, looking down.
"It's complicated." Jenna decided. "I'll explain later." Satine recomposed herself and turned to me.
"Well, Master Kenobi... My shining Jedi Knight to the rescue once again... Along with the village idiot."
"Self-proclaimed!" Jenna added. Satine went over and sat on her throne, looking at me expectantly.
"After all these years, you're more beautiful than ever." I stated calmly. It was true. She was beautiful.
"Kind words from a man who accuses me of treachery." Satine replied. That hurt a little bit, I'll admit.
"BURN!" Jenna called over to us, and I felt even more embarrassed.
"I would never accuse you of personal wrongdoing, Duchess. However, a Separatist saboteur attacked one of our Repulic Cruisers... A Mandalorian saboteur." I stated, remembering Jengo Fett. I showed a hologram of the man in question, wearing his Mandalorian armor and attacking. Then, Jenna showed up behind him, froze his head, and made bunny-ears behind him. I wish she had come with me to Kamino and Geonosis in the first place instead of helping Anakin protect Padmè. I would have been saved from so much embarrassment. The incident on my ship before the four of us split up was one of two times Jenna had ever met the bounty hunter. The second was when she saved his life.
"You must be mistaken. No Mandalorian would engage in such violence." Prime Minister Almec abruptly protested. "Not anymore... Where is this prisoner now?" My sidekick smirked at me.
"Yeah, Obi. Where is the prisoner?" She asked mockingly.
"You're not helping!" I hissed.
"I'm not trying to help."
"He's in a cell on Coruscant. Jenna saved him from an early execution... But he has refused to speak." I admitted. "I know these commandos fought in many wars against the Jedi." Satine stood, and Jenna's smirk widened.
"You've done it now."
"Every one of my people is as trustworthy as I am." Satine glared. "Clearly your investigation was ordered because the Senate is eager to intervene in our affairs." I remembered how presumptuous Satine always was.
"My investigation was ordered by the Jedi Council." I stated. "Jenna refused to stay behind."
"I stand corrected." Satine conceded, looking surprised. "General Kenobi, perhaps you'd like to join me on a walk through the city." I took Satine's hand and walked with her. Jenna bounced up next to us, looking ready for an adventure.
"May I join you?" The Time Lady asked, as if we had a say in whether or not she tagged along.
"Of course, old friend." Satine smiled. "You still have much explaining to do." Jenna grinned sheepishly, falling into step next to me.
"Well, it all began twelve years ago, in Obi and I's battle with a Sith Lord called Darth Maul..." Jenna explained who and what she was, who her family was, all about Gallifreyans, and about our adventures since the day we parted. Satine and I listened very closely to Jenna's view of everything, me occasionally adding my thoughts. I noticed Jenna leaving out her powers and the fact that she was an experiment. I didn't point it out. Jenna was free to discuss those matters when she wished. I noticed how her past haunted her every step, and I heard her sobs and struggles at night. Jenna had more terrible nightmares and foreboding visions than even Anakin. "So, that's why I haven't aged, Satine... Why I'll never age ever again."
"The Doctor's daughter... I can't believe that you're a Time Lady." Satine sighed. "You always seemed like an immortal child, but this is a bit extreme." Jenna and I laughed at that.
"I know, right?" Jenna asked. "But... No matter how much he ages ahead of me, Obi will still always be like my brother." I looked at Jenna, wondering if my ears had deceived me. Her brother? Jenna and I had been raised side-by-side, yes, but... That was the first time I remembered Jenna calling me her brother. I wondered... Did I consider Jenna my sister?
'Jenna and I snuck out one night while Master Qui-Gon was asleep, breaking into the training room.
"Obi! I'm doing it!" A five year-old Jenna squealed, levitating several iron spheres into the air with the Force.
"Me next!" I cried, and Jenna set the spheres down. I got into a stance and focused, picturing the spheres rising. Nothing happened, so I sat down, hugged my knees, and cried.
"Obi." Jenna kneeled down and hugged me tight. "It's okay..."
"No it's not! I'll never be a good Jedi!" I sobbed.
"Hey." I looked up at Jenna. "Don't talk like that. Mark my words, Obi. You'll be a Master before I am. Now... Try it again." I nodded, stood up, and focused. The spheres rose into the air and orbited like planets, faster and faster, shining bright white lights from their reflections on the walls.
"Jenna! I'm doing it!" I exclaimed, smiling brightly. Master Yoda, Master Windu, and Master Qui-Gon ran in as I did this, and the watched as I lowered the spheres so that I was the center of their rotation. Jenna stared in wonder, then grinned.
"Obi! You're amazing!"
"How is he doing that?" Windu asked. Jenna turned and smiled at the intimidating Master, no fear.
"Obi's a Jedi." She simply stated. "The best Jedi ever."'
I thought more and more about Jenna and I's past as we walked.
'Jenna and I were building our light sabers, and Jenna was off in a corner, being what she called creative. I built mine, and Master Qui-Gon was impressed by how fast I went. I was proud of my simple blue-bladed light saber. Meanwhile, Jenna was in a working frenzy, and a few minutes later, she showed us her work.
"Which one?" Jenna held up two hilts. Both were painted teal with silver components and black activator buttons. Master Qui-Gon took and examined both, then ignited them. The blades extended, glowing a strange teal color that I had never seen before in any light saber. One of the sabers had a slightly smaller hilt and a shorter blade, almost like a dagger.
"Both, actually." Qui-Gon smiled. "You have created a light dagger. Jenna, I believe you will be far more skilled with dual blades instead of one." Jenna took both of her weapons, giddy.
"Wanna spar, Obi?" She asked. I nodded, igniting my saber. Jenna and I met blades, finally real padawans.'
I looked over to see Jenna glaring at two boys picking on a little girl with blue hair and brown eyes, barely a year old. I watched as my friend marched over, forming large snowballs in her hands, and beaned them both directly in the face.
"Back off, punks!" Jenna snapped. The little boys turned and ran, and Jenna rejoined us as the little girl's mother came and scooped her up, giving Jenna a quick look of gratitude.
'"Obi-Wan and Satine sitting in a tree!
K! I! S! S! I! N! G!
First comes love!
Then comes marriage!
Then comes a baby in the baby carriage!" Jenna sang, having found me and Satine sitting together in a lounge. I pulled out my light saber, and Jenna flinched, backing away. "Jeesh Obi! Sorry, mate! I'm only human!"
"What?" I asked.
"I'm only human. What's wrong, Obi? You're a bit pale."
"I-I'm fine. I just need to go talk to Master Qui-Gon."'
Satine smiled as Jenna bounced around, talking to the locals.
'"Jenna! Wake up!" I called, knocking on the bunk door. We had arrived at the Trade Federation ship. This was important. My fellow padawan would need to get out of bed, like... "NOW!"
"Oy! I thought I told you to wake me up an hour before we got here! I want to look my best, sir!" I heard my friend call.
"Fine. Jenna! We're at the Trade Federation ship!"
"Did they seriously think I'd make a good diplomat? I'm only human!"
"Hurry!"
"I'm coming, Obi!"
"My name is Obi-Wan!"
"You need a nickname! I have spoken!"
"You're crazy."
"Yep!" Jenna burst out of the door, put me in a headlock, and gave me a noogie, making me laugh uncontrollably and protest.
"Jenna... Stop! ... It tickles too much!"
"Never!"
"I'll Force-punch you!" That made Jenna release me, knowing how powerful I was with the Force.
"So... Geronimo!"'
I finally knew the answer to the question.
"Obi? Are you okay?" Jenna tapped me on the shoulder. I shook out of my trance and grinned.
"I'm fine."
"Okay, who spiked Obi's water?" Jenna asked. "I blame Anakin. Where is the little twerp? I bet Ahsoka was in on it, too. We have to create a law where it is illegal to drug Jedi! It's happened twice to you since this bloody war began! There will be long-term effects!"
"Jenna... I think Obi-Wan is happy." Satine giggled. Jenna raised a hand to her forehead to check her temperature.
"I'm hallucinating... Wait... Something's wrong." Jenna dashed forward just as an explosion went off. I lost sight of the Time Lady, then the smoke cleared. There was a force-field around the pedestrians, which had shielded them from the blast. I ran forward, searching for my friend. What happened to that stupid, young, crazy Time Lady?
"Jenna?! Jenna?!" I searched through the debris. Where was Jenna? Where was my sister?
"Obi-Wan!" Sabine called. Jenna had been thrown back from the blast, crashing into a wall so hard that there were cracks in the marble. My friend was lying on her side at the base of the wall, unconscious, scorched, broken, and bruised.
"Jenna..." I looked up to the pedestrians, livid. "No one leaves until we find out who did this." A man dashed away, and I gave chase. I met him on a balcony, and he leapt over the edge. But... There was no sickening crunch... There was a chorus of gasps and murmuring... And I looked over the edge. A current of air supported the man, slowly lowering him to the ground. Jenna had both of her hands raised, focusing. When the man was safe on the ground, Jenna froze him in place. Then, my friend collapsed on her hands and knees. I ran down and rushed to her side, followed by Satine. My friend looked up, weakly grinning.
"Why did I do that?" Jenna asked. "That was a really dumb move..." Jenna passed out cold.
"Obi-Wan... Was that some strange trick of the Force?" Satine asked shakily. I shook my head. "Then what was that? How did Jenna save this man?"
"Jenna did that all on her own, no Force necessary." I sighed. "Satine... Jenna is much more than just a Time Lady. She was experimented on before she was brought to the Temple. Think of anything impossible to living things, even the Jedi... And Jenna can do it." We took Jenna to an infirmary and arranged a trip to Concordia. We arrived, and when I went to investigate a mine, things went sour. The Death Watch captured me and took my light saber, then set me up to be crushed and ground up. As I went down the assembly line, I called Satine. Satine arrived, but two Death Watch men restrained her. We were both thought utterly doomed when... CLANG! Both Death Watch operatives fell to the ground, and behind them was none other than Jenna, wielding a cast-iron frying pan. Jenna tossed the pan aside and expertly aimed her Sonic Screwdriver, shutting the conveyor belt down. I was released from my confines, and I ran over to check on Satine, then looked at Jenna.
"What would you do without me, Obi-Wan Kenobi?" Jenna asked weakly, apparently not fully recovered from her incident earlier that day.
"Get crushed." I smiled, and then I got serious. "How in blazes did you get to Concordia? How in the world did you know we were in trouble? And... Where in blazes did you get that frying pan?"
"Well, I woke up in an infirmary, learning that you two lovebirds ditched. So I got in my ship and flew up here. Then, I felt a Disturbance in the Force, so I came here. I honestly don't know where the frying pan came from... My mind must be all wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey right now."
"Well... Thank you, Jenna." I muttered quietly.
"What was that?"
"Thank you."
"I can't hear you."
"THANK YOU!"
"OKAY!" We got out, finding that Governor Pre Viszla was was the leader of the Death Watch. He had a Dark Saber. I fought him to protect the defenseless Satine and the semiconscious Jenna. We escaped, and we returned to Mandalore. Anakin arrived, and we watched as Satine boarded her starship, ready to accompany us to Coruscant, although she was still neutral.
"A truly remarkable woman." Anakin commented.
"She surely is." I smiled fondly. Jenna stood next to me, humming 'Sitting in a Tree,' just like it was old times. "Will you please shut up, sis?"
"Never! Wait... Sis?"
"Of course! We were raised together, we played together, we fought together, and neither of us will leave the other alone. If we aren't brother and sister, then I'll eat my light saber." Jenna put her hand over my shoulder, and I did the same to her. Anakin shifted awkwardly.
"Come on in, Cousin Ani." Jenna teased, and I nodded with a grin.
"Cousin?" Anakin asked in bewilderment, slightly offended.
"Yes. Sixth cousin fourteen times removed on Obi's seventeenth cousin forty two times removed father's side." Jenna stated in a matter-of-fact way. The three of us burst out laughing, and I knew it was a good day to be alive... And to have good friends... No... A family... Like Jenna and Anakin.
