"Sir, we lost Obi-Wan." Waxer informs Cody.
"What? How did you lose him?!" Cody exclaims.
"We decided to play hide and seek, Sir. But we can't find him." Boil explains.
"That is the worse game you could possibly play right now!" Cody says. "We need to look everywhere, search the small space too, he could be hiding anywhere."
"Yes, Sir." Boil and Waxer say in unison as they quickly go and search for Obi-Wan.
"Sir, General Koon's ship just landed." Crys informs him.
"We need to find Obi-Wan quickly then. Go help Boil and Waxer while I go and explain this to General Koon." Cody says as he rushes off to General Koon's ship.
He rushes onto the ship but stops when he hears laughter, he enters the ship and comes to a halt when he sees the General, who is currently holding a giggling Obi-Wan.
"I think you lost something, Commander Cody." Plo says as he plays with Obi-Wan.
"Sorry, Sir. The men thought it would be a good idea to play hide and seek with him." Cody explains.
"It is quite all right, Commander. Little Obi can be very sneaky sometimes." Plo says, his voice amused.
"Master Plo!" Obi-Wan shrieks as Plo tickles him; Plo gently sets Obi-Wan down.
"I have to speak with Cody for a minute, Obi, but I'm sure my men would be delighted to get to know you." Plo says.
"Okay." Obi-Wan says, he rushes over to Wolffe and whispers to him. Wolffe nods and then picks him up and puts him on his shoulders as Obi-Wan giggles. Plo and Cody leave and walk into a different room.
"Have you found anything about this weapon?" Plo inquires.
"Yes, Sir. Helix was able to confirm that the weapon was the one to cause this incident. We have not been able to find a cure yet though." Cody explains.
"I will take Obi-Wan to the Temple then, perhaps the Healers can reverse this." Plo ponders.
"What if he is stuck as an ad?" Cody questions.
"Then I will make sure Obi-Wan has the best upbringing." Plo says.
"Will you be leaving today, Sir?" Cody asks.
"It's best that we leave as soon as possible, he will be safe in the Temple, Cody, the Jedi will take care of him." Plo comforts as he senses Cody's unease.
"Yes, Sir. What will the 212th be doing now without our General." Cody inquires.
"You will be given leave for a while and then put temporarily under General Skywalker. But not for a while, Skywalker and Tano will be given leave also." Plo explains.
"Yes, Sir." Cody says. Plo and Cody leave the room and see Obi-Wan playing tag with the Wolfpack.
"Was he always like this, Sir?" Cody asks.
"Like what?" Plo inquires.
"Carefree, laughing, and just so bright. I haven't seen him like this ever." Cody explains.
"As a child, he was one of the brightest Padawans, he still is of course, but his light just dimmed a little.
Obi-Wan and Vos were the prankers of the Temple. He was always like this, but his years as a Padawan changed him. He was forced to grow up too fast I'm afraid." Plo says.
"Little Obi, we will be departing for the Temple soon." Plo explains to him.
"Yay! I can't wait to see the Temple again!" Obi-Wan shouts excitedly. "Will Cody and his brothers come too?!"
"They will be accompanying us." Plo says.
"Yay! I can't wait to show you everything!" Obi-Wan excitedly says.
"We are scheduled to take off in a few minutes, Sir." Wolffe informs Plo.
"Thank you, Wolffe. Cody, go back to your ship and follow us back to Coruscant, I will watch little Obi until we arrive." Plo says and Cody departs.
"Come, little Obi, let's go introduce you to everyone else." Plo says and picks up Obi-Wan.
"More people!" Obi-Wan shouts.
In the Chancellor's Office, Sidious scowls as he senses something bright in the Force, something that could ruin his future plans, something he needs to get rid of immediately.
