These are just little random one-shots that I will be doing about the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. They will be updated as often as I can, and if any wants me to expand on any of them or if you have a prompt for me, just say in the review :)

Please read and review :)

Prompt from Arianna Silvia: how about Obi-Wan (maybe 35 years old and he is right in the thick of the Clone Wars) travels in time and crashes the council meeting in TPM when Qui-Gon says Obi-Wan is ready for the trials?

….

"...Correct you were, Qui-Gon." Master Yodu sighed wearily as Master Windu nodded in agreement;

"His cells contain a high concentration of midi-chlorians."

Master Ki-Adi also agreed, "The Force is strong with him."

Obi-Wan watched as his Master seemed to brighten up at this, trying not to let his own dismay show.

"He's to be trained, then."

The Council members all glanced at one another.

"No…" Master Windu eventually spoke up, "… He will not be trained."

Anakin was clearly crestfallen at this, tears beginning to form in his eyes.

Qui-Gon frowned, "No?!"

It was horrible, but Obi-Wan couldn't help but smile slightly.

"He is too old. There is already too much anger in him." Explained Master Windu

"He is the chosen one...you must see it!"

Master Yoda shook his head, "Clouded, this boy's future is. Masked by his youth."

"I will train him, then. I take Anakin as my Padawan learner!"

Obi-Wan felt his heart drop to his stomach, knowing that his face must have reflected the shock on his face, even as Anakin watched on with interest.

The Council were also shocked, with Master Yoda giving Qui-Gon a disappointed look, "An apprentice, you have, Qui-Gon. Impossible, to take on a second."

Master Windu nodded in agreement, "We forbid it."

"Obi-Wan is ready..." Qui-Gon protested, turning to his padawan and silently asking for a show of support.

He wasn't happy with his Masters' decision… but he knew that if he didn't say something, there would be problems. Obi-Wan stepped forwards to face the Council.

"I am ready to face the tri- "

Obi-Wan stopped in his tracks when there was a flash of blue above him, glancing up and taking a step back at the swirling portal above his head.

Almost immediately, everyone drew their lightsabres and ignited them, with Qui-Gon pushing Obi-Wan behind him as a show of protection.

Less than a minute later, two men dropped out of the portal, yelping as they both hit the ground… hard.

"Well done…." The older of the two groaned, trying to push himself to his feet (stopped by the younger man on top of him), "… don't touch anything I said. Remember that?"

"I remember… I thought it would help us find out what Do- "The younger man stopped, his head raised as he stared at Anakin, his eyes wide in shock as he pushed himself to his feet, "- I think I might know what that machine does."

"Do enlighten us."

The young man gestured at Anakin, as he helped the older man to his feet. "Look familiar?"

The older man paled at the sight of Anakin, spinning around to stare at the Council and then at Master Qui-Gon, who was still keep Obi-Wan behind him. "Perfect…" he muttered, "… this is just perfect."

"State your purpose here!" Master Windu ordered, having had enough with the confusing conversation.

The older man pulled his eyes away from Master Qui-Gon, and turned to face the Council, bowing before straightening up to speak. "My apologies. It appears as though my companion and I have stumbled into your meeting. An accident I do assure you, I- "

"- Not from this time period, I believe you to be." Master Yoda interrupted, chuckling when the older man's eyes widened slightly, "Correct, am I not?"

There was a brief moment of silence, before the older man chuckled and bowed his head in respect. "You are correct… so you understand why we need to get back as soon as possible, without changing anything."

This last part seemed to be directed at the man's younger companion, who simply turned away, focusing on Obi-Wan…. Master Qui-Gon wasn't happy with this and glared at the younger man.

"Are we really going to let them simply stay here until they find a way home?" Qui-Gon asked the Council, tension in his voice, "What if they're- "

He stopped in his tracks as the older man removed his lightsabre from his belt and ignited it, the blue glow lighting the entire room. "I am no Sith." The older man stated, "I know what you may think, and I know that recent events- "

"- How would you know about those?" Qui-Gon interrupted, clearly resisting the urge to smirk when the older man groaned under his breath, closing his eyes as though scolding himself in his mind. "How would you know about anything that's happened to us recently?"

A tense silence fell over the Council room, as the younger man glanced over at the older one. They seemed to be having a conversation between themselves… a tense conversation if the look on the older man's face was anything to go by.

"Fine…" the older man eventually sighed, turning away from his companion, "… all we can tell you, is that our past selves were present to hear of your recent events. The memory…. The memory is still strong in our minds."

"Painful, these memories sound." Master Yoda frowned, "Close, you were to the events?"

The older man sighed and nodded, "We both lost someone very dear to us around this time… which is why we must stay put."

"Of course." Master Windu nodded in agreement, "You will have to excuse us though, this meeting is an important one."

The older man seemed to wince at this, but nodded in agreement anyway, heading to leave the room. The younger man, however, seemed reluctant to leave, his eyes focused on Anakin, and then Obi-Wan.

"I-I- "

The older man rushed back to his friend and gently grabbed his arm, "Don't." he hissed, "Don't say anything!"

"… You were still upset, years after it happened… why shouldn't I- "

"- because we can't change the past!"

The two glared at each other, before the younger one practically deflated and followed his companion out the door. As soon as the door closed behind them, Qui-Gon span around to face the Council, a glare on his face.

"They shouldn't be given free reign of the Temple..." He stated, "… they can't be trusted. Didn't you see how they look- "

"- looked at Obi-Wan and Anakin?" Master Windu spoke up, a small smile on his face as he and Master Yoda gave each other secretive looks, "Yes, we did notice that."

"As it seems, nothing is." Master Yoda sighed, his eyes on the door that the two strangers had just gone through, "Familiar, the older man is."

"Familiar Master?"

Master Yoda nodded, "Something in his eyes, there is. Seen them before, I have."

Master Qui-Gon seemed as though he was going to protest, until a sudden thought occurred to him. "You're right…" he whispered, turning to Obi-Wan and looking him in the eye, "… there was something in the eyes."

Seemingly coming to a conclusion in his mind, Qui-Gon rushed to the door, and flung it open, reaching out and grabbing the older man, pulling him back in.

"Master!" cried out the younger man, racing after Qui-Gon. However, he soon stopped in his tracks when he noticed how Master Qui-Gon held the older man out at arms length, scanning him from head to toe.

The tense exchange seemed to last forever, with the older man straightening up and trying to back away as Qui-Gon stared intently at him. A couple of seconds later, Qui-Gon suddenly gasped and took a step back, still looking into the older man's eyes.

"Obi-Wan?"

Obi-Wan stepped forwards, a frown on his face as he stared at his Master, "Master?"

Qui-Gon waved his hand in dismissal, "No, no, no…" he gestured at the older man, shock written all over his face, "… Obi-Wan?"

The older man clearly winced at this…. Before sighing deeply and nodding slowly. "It is… nice to see you Master Qui-Gon." Master Kenobi sighed, as his younger self took a step back.

"M-Me?"

Master Kenobi turned to his younger self and tried to give him a reassuring smile. "I'm very sorry about all the secrecy…. In order to protect time and the events leading up to my present day, it seemed only right to keep our identities a secret."

"So…. Who's he?!" Obi-Wan pointed at the younger stranger, a frown on his face as he tried to place the familiar looking face.

The younger man glanced over at Master Kenobi… who shook his head.

"No…" he muttered, "… It's bad enough that my identity has been revealed, yours must remain secret."

The younger man frowned at this, but obeyed his Masters' wishes, taking a step back as Master Kenobi turned his attention back to Master Qui-Gon. "We shouldn't interrupt this meeting any further…. Me and my… companion will wait outside."

"You can't!" Qui-Gon was clearly delighted to have discovered the older man's identity, grabbing Master Kenobi's arm, "Don't you see what this means?" He turned to the Council, "Obi-Wan is a Jedi Master, clearly not much older than my padawan is now!"

Silence.

"Don't you see it…. If he's become a Jedi Master so quickly, then he must have been knighted fairly young. Possibly around this time…. It's proof that you agree that Obi-Wan should be kni- "

"- ENOUGH!" Master Yoda interrupted, slamming his stick against his seat, an uncharacteristic frown on his frown, "Enough, we have heard. Distress, you are causing."

"Distress? I- "Master Qui-Gon stopped in his tracks when he caught the look on his padawan's face… a look he promised to never put on the young man's face again, not after how often he saw it during the first few years of having Obi-Wan as a padawan.

"- Oh."

The younger man couldn't remain silent any longer. "Yeah oh…" he grumbled, "… I might have been too bloody stupid to see it back then, but- "

"- Stop." Master Kenobi ordered, his voice tense and his body even tenser, "It's not use dwelling on the past like this…." He frowned at the younger man, and gestured at the door, "… maybe you'd prefer to wait outside?"

"Not really."

"That wasn't a request."

Before the younger man could say anything else, Anakin piped up from his position against the wall. "If Obi-Wan gets knighted, does that mean I can be trained?!"

Before Qui-Gon could speak up, Master Windu intervened, "The Council has already made a decision young one…. You are not to be trained and that is final."

Anakin seemed as though he was about to burst into a temper tantrum, as the younger man stepped forwards to say something…. And then Master Kenobi intervened.

"Enough!" he ordered, his voice stern, "Instead of bickering about things that should remain unchanged and unaltered, we should be focusing on getting me and my companion back to our proper time."

"Correct, Master Kenobi is." Master Yoda sighed, "Back home, they should be going. Postponed, this meeting shall be."

Qui-Gon didn't seem happy with this, but accepted the Council's decision nonetheless, watching as Master Kenobi and his younger companion walked out of the room, heavily immersed in conversation.

"I don't understand why we can't do anything?!"

Obi-Wan hushed his padawan desperately, glancing around as other Jedi stared at them, confused frowns on their faces, "We can't change anything, we don't know what effect they would have on our timeline!"

"What if these changes are for the better!" Anakin cried out, "What if, having Master Qui-Gon alive, changes the course of the war?!"

"And what if it makes the situation worse! We can't predict these things!"

"But- "

"- No more!" Obi-Wan growled, "We need to focus on getting back and stopping Dooku before- "

"- but what about you?"

Obi-Wan was silent for a few seconds, before sighing and shaking his head. "How I felt back then means nothing. It…. It was a long time ago and I've expelled all negative feelings about the event, into the Force."

He turned away from his padawan, "I would advise you do the same…. Your knighting ceremony is likely to be soon, and any negative feelings are amplified during the test."

"Then how did you pass?"

Obi-Wan frowned, as Anakin continued.

"After… everything that happened before you became a knight, the test must have been practically impossible!"

"…. Defeating the Sith was considered to be my test." Obi-Wan eventually sighed, "The Council performed a simple mind examination, before knighting me and giving me my first padawan… you know the rest of the story I'm sure."

"… Did you hate me… when I became your padawan?"

Obi-Wan turned to Anakin in shock, "I beg your pardon?"

"Did you hate me? I noticed the way your younger self looked at younger me…. He didn't look happy."

Obi-Wan was silent for a short time, before shaking his head and sighing. "I never hated you Anakin…. I was disappointed in my Master more than anything"

"Huh?"

"… He was always taking in creatures or people that needed help, that needed saving…. But he always swore that none of them would ever replace me." He shrugged, "Until one of them did…. I never held it against you Anakin. But I was very disappointed in my Master… even after everything on Naboo."

He turned away from Anakin and sighed, "It was never you Anakin…. Never you."
