I am pleasantly surprised how many people are actually interested in this... well, nonsense fic. Oh well. Here's to the next chapter!

Transformation

Obi-Wan felt funny. There wasn't really another way to describe it. His body felt as if it was in the wrong position or he had broken every bone inside of him and someone had glued them back together in the wrong way. His brain had this strange buzz and he was having difficulty concentrating on his thoughts. For no apparent reason, he felt the urge to run around shouting at the top of his lungs.

None of that made any sense because he was scouting. Or he had been scouting. Then he wasn't.

'Okay, Obi-Wan focus. What happened?' He struggled to recall the incidents.

Wooley had volunteered to take an injured clone's shift on patrol and Obi-Wan had decided to go with him. He hadn't been able to sleep anyway, the most recent battle still in the front of his mind.

The two followed their route and watched for strange activity, with no major incidents. They saw the transport ship come down to land with the new recruits and (according to the roster) the new medic. Obi-Wan wasn't excited about that last one (at least when it came to his own injuries. Avoiding the med bay was a habit from his youth he'd never completely grown out of).

They had just been getting ready to go back when Obi-Wan felt something in the Force. It wasn't dangerous. It wasn't a warning. It was just a feeling. He had shrugged it off and started to follow Wooley-

-and that was when his memory went fuzzy.

He groaned and rolled over on the ground… or was it a blanket? Obi-Wan's eyes fluttered open and he looked around- before slamming them shut again.

Several new facts had entered the situation. One, he was still in the forest. Two, he was lying on his robe which had seemed to have grown exponentially. Three, Wooley was nowhere in sight. Finally, everything was black and white.

Did he go color blind? That didn't make any sense. He didn't remember any sort of explosion and his head wasn't hurting… okay so it was a little fuzzy, but that wasn't the same as a headache.

No matter. A medic or healer could look at his eyes and see if the situation was permanent. Color blindness wasn't the worst thing that could happen to him and Obi-Wan wasn't too concerned. Wooley was now the frontmost thing in his mind.

He opened his eyes and attempted to stand up- only to tumble forward in a somersault and land on his stomach. 'Ow…' He shook his head and the pain away looking down at his hands-

-only to stop and stare.

He had paws. Fluffy paws. Fluffy, furry, paws.

Okay so let's think about this: color blindness, paws, and the urge to run around and make a lot of noise…

Kriff.

Struggling, Obi-Wan managed to crawl over to a slow stream and look at his reflection.

He stared at himself for Force knew how long before laying on his stomach and resting his chin on his paws. 'Anakin is never going to let me live this down.'

Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi had somehow been turned into a puppy. A very fluffy, very cute puppy. He was unable to see what color he was, but he had a suspicion that his eyes were still the same, and his fur was similarly colored to his tunic and boots, due to fur lines and shadowed areas.

'Can I talk?' Obi-Wan opened his mouth to try and call out a greeting, but it came out as a very small and high bark. He heard a small whining noise and after a moment realized that was him, reacting to his disappointment. 'Pull yourself together. Let's figure this out.'

First thing on the list: get out of the forest. Obi-Wan hadn't been concerned about the wildlife of the planet until now. What good was a puppy when going up against a large carnivorous creature. Should he go back to the 212th?

Probably not. No one would realize the puppy was Obi-Wan and would most likely try and get rid of the dog, due to the fact that pets were not allowed in the army. He needed to find someone who could identify him.

Obi-Wan groaned (well, whined) as he realized his only option. A few miles from his current position, the 501st was camped. Anakin would most likely be able to tell that the puppy was Obi-Wan. And if not Anakin, Ahsoka would figure it out. She did have more common sense than her master.

Ahsoka and Rex had been talking about needed supplies when a small ball of fur suddenly sprinted out of the forest, being chased by some ugly beast.

The fur ran behind Ahsoka and hid, shaking in fear.

Rex reacted instinctively as the beast charged at his commander, pulling out his pistols and firing off three shots. The beast fell to the ground, unmoving. "Are you alright, Commander Tano?"

The Togruta didn't respond, as she bent down and picked up the ball of fur. Cradling it in her arms, she looked up with a smile. "Why are you asking me? You should be asking this adorable puppy!"

She started to pet the little dog, cooing as Rex looked on with slight concern and confusion.

The padawan moved her hands over the puppy's ears and began scratching them. The dog went limp with pleasure. Rex frowned and muttered an inquisitive, "What…?" as he watched the puppy start to whine as the Togruta stopped petting him.

Ahsoka laughed at the clone captain's bewildered expression, keeping a tight grip on the still limp dog. "Awww, aren't you the cutest!" She said, bringing her nose down to rub it against the puppy's head. Ahsoka pulled short when she noticed the dog was glaring at her. She shook her head confused. Dogs did not glare at people.

But she couldn't shake the feeling and tilted her head at the small thing.

Rex took a step closer and frowned slightly, "... Um, does it look angry to you?"

"I… I think so. But dogs don't look angry… right?"

"May I have him?" Rex held out his hand and Ahsoka dutifully placed the now squirming dog in his arms. The puppy was a light tan color with brown paws on his back legs. His ears and upper face were a dull ginger color, sweeping slightly down the neck. A brown stripe ran around his waist, almost like a belt. "He certainly is… colorful."

"I think he's adorable." Ahsoka scooped the animal back out of Rex's hands and began to scratch him behind the ears. "Can we keep him?"

"Well, sir. There are regulations about pets in the army."

"We could train him! He could be an army dog!"

Rex smiled. "I don't think that's how it works, Commander."

The dog began to squirm and tried to get out of Ahsoka's arms. She frowned but put the dog down on the ground. "Alright, little fella. There ya go."

The puppy sat on his back legs, looking up at the two with an expression that both placed as, "Are you kidding me?" He barked loudly, glaring at the two.

Ahsoka frowned and knelt down. "Think he's trying to tell us something?"

"I'm not an animal person, Commander, so I really wouldn't know."

'Padawan Tano.'

Ahsoka looked around a little confused. "Rex… did you just hear Master Kenobi?"

"Uh… no. Sir, are you feeling alright?"

'Ahsoka! Is this even working? Ahsoka! It's me!'

The Togruta slowly turned her eyes toward the dog. "Um…"

'Ahsoka,' the puppy stared at her, 'Don't tell me you don't recognize your Grand-master.'

"Ah!" she jumped back and stared in horror at the dog.

Rex drew his weapon and pointed it at the dog. "Commander, what's wrong?"

She pushed his blaster down. "Put that thing away before you shoot Master Kenobi!"

"Uh… General Kenobi isn't here."

The dog started to bark loudly and glared at Rex. He stared at the dog for a moment very confused.

Ahsoka pointed at the dog. "I don't know how and I don't know why, but that dog is Master Kenobi."

Anakin looked at the dog in his padawan's hands and wondered how she had talked Rex into this prank. "Ahsoka, my Master did not suddenly just turn into a puppy. For one, he's too cute!" He reached out to scratch the dog under the chin but quickly drew back as it tried to bite his finger.

Ahsoka groaned. "Master, I'm serious. It's a little hard to tell at first but after a little prodding with the Force, I can tell it's Obi-Wan."

"Not falling for it, Snips!" He turned back to the holo-map of the battlefield. "I just got a nervous call from Commander Cody saying that Obi-Wan is missing. Did you two plan this out together? I'll admit, it's a good prank but-"

The dog growled at Anakin before barking sharply. Anakin paused and looked at the dog, vaguely reminded of being scolded.

Ahsoka held the dog up in Anakin's face, "Master, look at his big eyes. It's Master Kenobi!"

… "I don't see it."

Rex facepalmed behind the padawan. Even he, a clone, could identify a general when said general had four legs and furry ears. Then again, maybe the fact that he was a clone was the reason he could do just that.

Obi-Wan growled at his ex-Padawan, hoping the entire situation was just some crazy nightmare and he'd wake up any minute. He had no such luck.

Anakin rolled his eyes and ran his fingers through the hair. "Ahsoka now is not the time to play a prank using my old Master. You know how Cody feels about pranks, especially when concerning his General." He turned back to the holo-map, while Ahsoka looked helplessly at Rex.

Obi-Wan finally had had enough. He wriggled in Ahsoka's arms until he could hop down to the ground and glared up at his disinterested padawan.

He submerged himself in the Force again and called out to Anakin through their bond. Anakin. The younger Jedi shrugged off the attempt at communication.

Obi-Wan tried again, more forcefully this time. Anakin. This time the man frowned and mentally responded back while keeping his eyes on the map in front of him.

Master?

Obi-Wan nearly sighed in relief over the bond but caught himself. This was taking all of his concentration. Yes. Now listen carefully… and don't even think of complaining or protesting, because I know that's what you're about to do, Anakin…

You know me too well, Master.

Yes, well, that comes with practically raising you. The Jedi master dropped the banter when he remembered his purpose in initiating the 'conversation'.

Anakin. Listen to your padawan. Hopefully, that was straightforward enough...

...Master?...

Apparently not.

Don't you 'Master?' me! Listen to what Ahsoka just told you. Feel out the situation with the Force.

The transformed Jedi master watched as Anakin closed his eyes and prodded his signature with the Force. The blue eyes popped open and dropped down to the floor where Obi-Wan sat.

The knight's brows furrowed and he hesitantly asked, "Obi-Wan?..."

Yes.

Anakin reverted back to the mental conversation. You're really a… puppy?

Yes! What part of 'yes' do you not understand?

There was a beat of silence, then Anakin said out loud, "Ahsoka, I think you're right." The Togruta threw her arms up in the air. "Finally!"

"Well, excuse me for not believing my Master got turned into a tiny puppy! This isn't a usual thing to occur around here, regardless of the weird situations we seem to get into!"

"It's Master Kenobi. A lot of strange things happens to him."

Obi-Wan growled softly at the comment, but no one seemed to pay attention.

Anakin knelt down and picked up the squirming dog. "So… what do we do with him?"

'The 'him' is a person. Anakin put me down!' Unfortunately, Obi-Wan's new puppy brain wasn't able to keep his concentration together any longer and the cry of protest never reached Anakin's side of the bond.

Ahsoka tried to steal Obi-Wan from her Master. "Can I hold him?"

"No."

"Aw, but he's so cute! Please, Master!"

"No, Ahsoka."

"Pretty please!"

"Begging is not becoming of a Jedi."

"But-"

Obi-Wan sighed in his head. Clearly, this had been a mistake. Perhaps the 212th would have been a better bet. He bit Anakin's hand who let out a painful yelp before dropping the puppy Jedi on the ground.

Obi-Wan hit the dirt running as he sprinted out of the tent and back in the direction of the 212th.

Anakin and Ahsoka ran out of the tent after the dog but were unable to catch him. Thus Anakin gave his strangest order of the war; "Catch that puppy!"

If the 501st were in the least bit confused as they followed their General, Commander, and Captain and chased a tiny dog out of camp and into the forest, they hid it rather well.

Anakin had to call Cody now and tell him the news. The clone was not going to take this well.

I don't know why, but I just love the image of Anakin yelling at the 501st to chase a dog. You know some of them just looked at each other and said something along the lines of, "Welp. Our General has finally lost it. I'm going to request a transfer when we get back." It just makes me laugh.

Hope you all liked the update. Please leave a review telling us what you liked and did not like about this chapter. It improves the writing (and gives me and my newly Knighted Padawan the motivation to finish the last three chapters...)
