Meanwhile, somewhere in Starwood Forest, Kenobi Hood was stirring up lunch for his little family while Ahsoka hung their laundry.

"Hey, Kenobi. How's lunch coming?" Little 'Soka asked.

"Yeah, I'm starving." Peppermint said.

"Why don't you eat some of the bushes? You are a horse."

"Prince Almec fed us nothing but vegetable scraps for years." Fiesta said. "Forgive us for wanting a different taste for once."

But Obi-Wan was too busy humming to himself to pay any attention.

"Uh, Kenobi?" Ahsoka said again. "Kenobi Hood. Obi-Wan?"

"Hey!" Peppermint exclaimed.

"Huh? What? Did you say something?"

Obi-Wan finally turned his attention to the girls.

"Forget it." said Ahsoka, shaking her head. "Your mind's not on food. You're thinking about somebody with long eyelashes, and you're smelling sweet perfume."

That was when they caught a whiff of the burning stew.

"Oh! It's boiling over!" Obi-Wan exclaimed, quickly getting a towel and moving the pot from the fire.

"Eh, after all those scraps, I'll even settle for a slightly burnt flavor." Peppermint shrugged.

"I suppose I was thinking about Princess Satine again." Obi-Wan said, dusting burnt bits of food from his shirt.

"Ah, si. We met her once." said Fiesta. "She is muy hermosa. Beautiful. Inside and out."

"I love her, Fiesta." Obi-Wan said.

"Why don't you just pop the question and marry her already then?" Ahsoka said.

"I happen to know she's single." Peppermint sang.

"Marry?" Obi-Wan said as if the girls were crazy. "You don't just walk up to a girl, hand her a bouquet and say, 'Hey, remember me? We were kids together. Will you marry me?'"

"Well, of course you wouldn't propose like that." Peppermint said.

"You should say something more romantic." Fiesta said, and she started saying something in Spanish, which made it sound even more romantic. "Te recuerdo. Y recuerdo nuestro amor. Pasar el resto de mi vida y hacer nuevos recuerdos contigo sería mi mayor deseo hecho realidad."

"What did you just say?" Obi-Wan said, astonished by whatever Fiesta said.

"I said, 'I remember you. And I remember our love. To spend the rest of my life with and make new memories with you would be my greatest wish come true."

"I'm not sure Satine even speaks that language. Even if she does, I don't think that's how it's done."

"Aw, come on, Obi. Climb the palace walls." said Ahsoka. "Sweep her off her feet. Carry her off in style."

"If it were only that simple." Obi-Wan shook his head sadly. "What do I have to offer her?"

"Well, you can't cook, for one." Ahsoka said, amid the wilted carrot she picked out from the stew.

"I'm serious, 'Soka. She's a highborn woman of quality."

"Well, you've got the prim and proper attitude and manners." Ahsoka said. "What's there to stop you?"

"I'm an outlaw, that's what." said Obi-Wan, hanging up some sheets. "That's no life for a beautiful princess. Always on the run. What kind of a future is that?"

And that was when the friends were approached by none other than Friar Yoda.

"For heaven's sake. No outlaw are you." said Yoda, startling Obi-Wan into falling into his laundry basket. "A great hero, someday you will be called."

"A hero?" chuckled Obi-Wan. "You hear that, Ahsoka? We've just been pardoned."

"That's a gas." chuckled Ahsoka. "We haven't even been arrested yet."

"I'd testify we left with you willingly." Peppermint said.

"Laugh, you rogues, for now." Yoda said. "An important event in Mandingham, there will be. A championship archery tournament tomorrow, Prince Almec is holding."

Yoda helped himself to a taste of the stew, only to spit it right back out after tasting how burnt it was. The horses whinnied in laughter.

"Archery tournament?" said Ahsoka. "Old Kenobi could win that standing on his head. Right, Kenobi?"

"Thank you, Little 'Soka." Obi-Wan bowed. "But I'm sure we are not invited."

"No, but somebody, disappointed they will be, if come you do not." Yoda said.

"Oh, yeah." Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "Old Sunshine himself, the honorable Sheriff of Mandingham."

"No, Princess Satine." Yoda said.

"Princess Satine?" gasped Obi-Wan.

"Yes. To the winner, a kiss she will give."

"A kiss to the winner?" Obi-Wan smiled and jumped for joy. "Oo-de-lally! Come on, 'Soka! What are we waiting for?"

"Wait a minute!" Ahsoka said. "That place will be crawling with soldiers."

"She's right." Peppermint said. "And Prince Almec is shallow, but he's not stupid enough not to recognize me and Fiesta."

"Remember, girls..." said Obi-Wan. "Faint hearts never won fair lady. Fear not, my friends."

Obi-Wan shot an arrow at a hanging frying pan and threw his hat up into the air.

"This will be my greatest performance yet." smiled Obi-Wan.

Trumpets were blown as it was nearing the time for the archery tournament to begin.

Citizens of Mandingham young and old were gathered to watch the tournament.

Prince Almec sat in his throne, declaring this a red-letter event.

"A coup d'etat, to coin a phrase." chuckled the greedy prince.

"Oh, yes, indeed, Sire." said Haman. "Your plan to capture Kenobi Hood in public is sheer genius."

"My trap is baited and set," smirked Almec. "... and then revenge!"

"Shh! Not so loud, sire." whispered Haman. "Remember, only you and I know, and your secret is my secret."

And it was Korkie's too, as he'd overheard his great uncle from behind the curtain. He had to warn Kenobi Hood! But how was the question.

"I will show that blackguard who wears the crown!" Almec declared, slamming his fist on the armrest.

"I share your loathing, Sire." said Haman. "That scurrilous scoundrel who fooled you with that ridiculous disguise, who dared to rob you and made you look so utterly ridiculous..."

"Enough!" Almec tried to punch Haman, but the man ducked. "Hold still!"

The princesses were soon arriving.

"Oh, Bo-Katan. I am so excited!" said Satine. "But how will I recognize him?"

"Oh, he'll let you know somehow." said Bo.

"Aunties!" Korkie exclaimed, approaching his aunts.

"Oh, Korkie. You're here early." Satine said. "What's troubling you?"

"It's a trap! The tournament." Korkie said.

Korkie explained to his aunties what he'd overheard and that they had to warn Kenobi Hood somehow.

"I wouldn't worry too much." said Bo. "If I know Kenobi Hood even nearly as well as Satine does, he won't make himself easy for anyone to spot."

For now, the princesses and young prince left to take their seats.

And it turned out Korkie didn't need to worry about warning Kenobi Hood, as he'd been hiding in the bushes with Little 'Soka, both of them and the horses in disguises, and having overheard Korkie.

Obi-Wan wore red and black armor with a helmet that covered his face completely, while Ahsoka was dressed as a high society girl, and the horses were dressed to look like they belonged to a knight or a princess.

"There she is, girls." smiled Obi-Wan. "Isn't she wonderful?"

"She is pretty." Ahsoka said. "But be careful, Kenobi."

"Don't worry." said Obi-Wan, placing his helmet on. "This disguise would fool my own mother."

"Yeah, but your mother isn't here." said Ahsoka, noticing Sheriff Viszla coming their way. "You gotta fool old Sheriff Sunshine."

Obi-Wan approached the sheriff in his disguise.

"Greetings, Sheriff Viszla." said Obi-Wan, disguising his voice as he rode in on Peppermint. "Meeting you face to face is a real privilege. A real privilege."

"Well, now, thank you." chuckled the sheriff. "Now, if you will excuse me, I must go win the tournament."

Ahsoka watched from afar and found her cue to approach.

"Ah, my lord." Ahsoka greeted Almec, imitating a posh-sounding accent. "My esteemed royal sovereign of the realm. The head man himself."

Ahsoka curtsied.

"You are most handsome." Ashoka fluttered her lashes.

"She has style, eh, Haman?" Almec chuckled.

Almec seemed to like the way Ahsoka flirted, but Haman was getting suspicious.

"And who might you be, Miss?" asked the counselor.

"I am Lady Natasha, Duchess of Shili." Ahsoka introduced before kneeling to the Crown Prince again. "And now, Your Majesty, allow me to lay some protocol on you."

Ahsoka took Almec's hand and was about to kiss it, but he pulled his hand away.

"Oh, no. Uh, forgive me, but I lose more jewels that way than... Please sit down."

Ahsoka did take a seat. Haman's seat, and Almec sent Haman away to keep and eye out for Kenobi Hood.

"Who does that duchess think she is?" Haman grumbled, passing by Harmony and Friar Yoda.

Harmony lowered her head down to Yoda and quietly said, "Something's up, Friar."

"Yes, something wrong, I sense." Yoda said. "Come."

Trumpets sounded once again as the archers marched up to take their places. Meanwhile Friar Yoda and Harmony took precautions to make sure Haman didn't catch Kenobi Hood, wherever he was, whoever he was.

Obi-Wan, disguised in his red armor, approached the royals' box.

"Ah, Your Ladyship." said Kenobi Hood. "I beg your pardon. It is a great honor to be in the presence of such a lovely lady such as yourself."

Obi-Wan presented Satine with a beautiful flower. A violet.

Even though Satine couldn't see his face, she knew immediately it was her love. The last time they'd met, he'd given her a beautiful violet. They used to grow all over Mandalore, but now were harder to find. But somehow, Kenobi Hood managed to find lost treasures of any type.

"I do hope I shall be fortunate enough to win the kiss."

"Well then..." Satine giggled. "I wish you luck..." she whispered. "With all my heart."

A Death Watch guard named Tal Merrik approached with a golden arrow on a pillow, which he presented to Almec.

"Your Highness, with your royal permission, we are ready to begin."

"Proceed, Captain Merrik!" Almec ordered.

"The tournament of the golden arrow will now begin." Merrik announced.

The crowd cheered and the trumpets were blown.

Archers stood on their marks, and fire their arrows. There were many great shots, but none hit straight in the middle of the target.

Sheriff Vizsla's aim was the worst of all.

And then came Kenobi's turn.

He took his very first shot, striking the target straight in the middle. Bullseye!

The crowd cheered!

"A perfect bullseye." Almec smiled. "Well, well."

"That's what you call pulling it back and letting it go, Prince Almec." said Ahsoka.

As the sheriff prepared his next shot, Kenobi taunted him by declaring, "I'm gonna win that golden arrow and then I'm gonna present myself to the lovely Princess Satine and..."

"Listen here, Red. If you shoot half as good as you jabber on," said Vizsla. "You're better than Kenobi Hood."

"Kenobi Hood, he says! Wowee!" Kenobi said, playfully slapping the sheriff on the back. "I'm tiptop, all right, but I'm not as good as he is."

Kenobi shot a second arrow. Another direct hit!

"He's got great aim, doesn't he, Sire?" said Ahsoka.

"Yes, Marge, he does." Almec said, clapping. "Bravo, yes. Bravo."

"Oh, dear Sheriff." said Kenobi Hood to Vizsla. "Word on the street is that you're having a bit of trouble getting your hands on that Kenobi Hood.

"He's frightened by me," said Vizsla. "That is what he is. Have you not noticed he hasn't shown up here today? Why, I could spot him through any phony disguise."

And underneath that armor, no one could tell it was Kenobi Hood.

Captain Merrik soon removed two arrows from the target.

"Attention, everyone." Merrik announced loudly. "The final contestants are... the honorable sheriff of Mandingham..."

People booed and hissed as he stepped up. One horse even kicked dirt onto his clothes.

"...and the Red Armored Knight from Stewjon."

Obi-Wan waved flirtatiously at Princess Satine, who waved back.

And of course, Almec took notice.

"My dear, I suspect you favor the man in red, hmm?"

"Uh... why, yes, Uncle. Sire." said Satine. "Well, at least he amuses me."

Almec laughed and said, "Coincidently, my dear young lady, he amuses me too."

"For the final shootout," announced Merrik. "Move the target back three paces."

And the target was moved. But, a guard had it rigged, by hiding inside of it. So when Sheriff Viszla shot his arrow, the guard moved the target so the arrow hit right in the middle.

The crowd, of course, saw this dirty trick and booed. Korkie and the princesses were far from pleased by this.

"Well, that shot there wins the golden arrow, the kiss, and the whole caboodle." bragged the sheriff.

"Don't be too sure." said Obi-Wan.

As Kenobi Hood prepared to shoot his arrow, Vizsla threw him off course by bumping him with his own bow. However, Obi-Wan quickly took out another arrow, and fired at the first arrow, up in the air.

Everyone watched with anticipation as the arrows flew, and the first one dove right at the target, hitting right where Vizla's had, the arrow piercing right through the sheriff's and through the target.

Everyone cheered as Kenobi Hood was victorious.

Almec, however, smiled for a different reason. He signaled Merrik, who then whispered something to the guards. The guards then followed Kenobi Hood as he approached the royal box to claim his prizes.

Prince Almec stood up from his throne and spoke.

"Archer, I commend you, and because of your superior skill, you shall get what is coming to you."

Satine batted her eyes as she presented the golden arrow on a pillow. Although she could not see his face, she could tell Obi-Wan was blushing behind that helmet.

Kenobi Hood shook the prince's hand.

"Oh, thank you kindly, Your Highness." said Kenobi Hood. "Meeting you face-to-face, Your High and Mighty, is a real treat."

"Release the royal fingers." Almec said, pulling his hand away. "Ah! And now I name you the winner, or more appropriately..."

Almec then removed the helmet from Kenobi Hood's head, exposing his true identity.

"The loser." Almec smirked.

The crowd gasped as the guards suddenly tackled Kenobi Hood and had him cuffed and roped.

"I hereby sentence you to immediate execution!" Almec declared all too happily.

"Oh, no!" Satine gasped, a single tear falling. "Please. Please, Uncle. I beg of you to spare his life. Please have mercy."

"My dear emotional lady," chuckled the prince. "Why should I?"

"I could give you a reason!" Bo-Katan said, cracking her knuckles as she glared at the prince.

"I love him, Dear Uncle." Satine said. "That is my reason."

"Love him?" Almec gasped, feigning sympathy. "And does this prisoner return your love?"

Princess Satine looked at Kenobi Hood and saw into his blue gray eyes.

Kenobi Hood looked his love in the eyes and said, "Satine, my darling, I love you more than life itself."

Almec chuckled and said, "Ah, young love. Your pleas have not fallen upon a heart of stone... but traitors to the crown must die!"

"Traitor to the crown?" said Kenobi Hood, his demeanor changing. "That crown belongs to King Atif. Long live King Atif!"

"LONG LIVE KING ATIF!" Gabby screamed at the top of her lungs.

And soon, everyone was chanting, "Long live King Atif!"

"Enough!" Almec shouted. "I am king!"

"We don't believe you are king!" said Bo-Katan. "Nor do we accept you as such."

"Agh! Off with his head!"

A drum was played as an executioner approached. Parents covered their children's eyes as they were about to witness a horrible fate for their brave hero.

But just before the execution could be done, Almec screamed,

"STOP! Executioner, stop! Hold your axe!"

And the reason for his sudden change of heart?

Ahsoka holding a sword to his back, and Fiesta holding her horn there too. A double whammy of death threats if he killed Kenobi Hood.

"Okay, big shot." growled Ahsoka. "Now tell them to release my friend, or I'll..."

Almec gulped.

"Sheriff... release Kenobi Hood at once!"

Vizsla was shocked by this.

"Release Kenobi Hood?" gasped the Sheriff.

"You heard him!" Princess Bo-Katan said. "I suggest you get it done."

Bo-Katan punched the palm of her hand. Despite being one of the good guys, Princess Bo sometimes scared other people.

"Sheriff, I make the rules, and since I am the head man..." said Almec as Fiesta began to dig her horn a little deeper. "Let him go, for heaven's sake! Let him go!"

"Love conquers all!" Korkie cheered.

Everyone else cheered as Kenobi Hood was released.

Satine ran right to Kenobi Hood and hugged him.

Kenobi Hood looked the princess in the eyes and said, "I owe my life to you, my darling."

"I couldn't have lived without you, Obi." Satine sighed, leaning forward and kissing the brave archer.

But as the outlaw and princess were kissing, Sheriff Vizsla was growing suspicious.

"There's something funny going on around here." muttered the sheriff.

The sheriff then went to check behind Almec, and found Ahsoka and Fiesta threatening his very life.

"Why you!" Almec took out his sword, only for the Togruta and alicorn to fight him.

"Kill him!" Almec ordered now that he no longer had any points in his back. "Don't just stand there! Kill him!"

"Kenobi Hood!" exclaimed Peppermint, throwing her rider a sword.

Kenobi caught the sword and fought the guards with help from Ahsoka and Fiesta, and then Princess Bo-Katan and Prince Korkie.

"Run, Satine!" Bo exclaimed. "This is my turf!"

Bo grabbed a weapon and joined in the fight, and so did Korkie.

"This is for Grandfather!" Korkie declared as he charged into battle.

Bo used the golden arrow as bait for the sheriff, and flipped him over as she knocked out some guards with one punch, and knocked out one's tooth with one kick to the jaw.

Satine, on the other hand, found herself unable to escape the danger of the fight.

"Help! Kenobi, help!" the princess called.

That was when she heard a whinny as Kenobi Hood rode in on his steed and swept her off her feet and carried her up to the top of a canopy.

He got down on one knee and said, "Satine, my love, will you marry me?"

"Oh, darling," gasped Satine happily. "I thought you'd never ask me. But you could've chosen a more romantic setting."

Kenobi kicked another guard away.

"And for our honeymoon, Naboo..."

"Yes!" Satine approved.

"Balith! Pantora!"

"Yes! Why not?"

Satine took Kenobi's hand as they ran through the battlefield, dodging guards, running all around, trying to get away, and trying not to ram into anyone.

Kenobi soon found himself fighting Captain Merrik.

"We'll have six children." said Obi-Wan.

"Oh, a dozen at least." chuckled Satine.

Obi-Wan ducked as a guard attempted to strike him with an arrow, and Satine hit the guard with a pie.

"Take that!" Satine laughed.

Kenobi laughed too.

The guards found themselves in total chaos, knocking everything down.

Gabby even shot an arrow at Almec's butt.

"YOWCH!" Almec screamed. And Bo-Katan whacked him with the golden arrow and took down even more guards like a professional football player.

"Long live King Atif!" Bo-Katan cheered before rushing into the forest.

"Long live King Atif!" said Korkie.

Almec was once again in dismay as Kenobi Hood escaped him again, and left his guards to create a lot of damage.
