" . . . What would happen if our hearts beat at the same time?"

...



Obi-Wan closed his eyes in a vain attempt to stop the tears from flowing. He reached inside one of his left pockets and pulled out the white handkerchief
yet again this time to wipe away all the tears that kept falling down his face.

"Ani," he whispered, hoping that his young Padawan could hear him. Anakin moaned and flipped over onto his left side - facing away from Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan brought his right hand up to brush Anakin's bright-blonde hair out of the boy's eyes. A small scar rested on his forehead. Obi-Wan noticed that
the scar seemed to be healing itself already - much faster than usual. Jedi were known to heal fast, but this was amazing. In a matter of moments, the
scar was no longer there.

Being the Chosen One must have it advantages. All of the Padawans, and even some Masters, respected Anakin and bowed every time he walked past.
Anakin was like the Prince of the Jedi. One day even Obi-Wan was tempted to call Anakin His Royal Highness. That day seemed to be stuck in his mind
forever. It was also the day that Anakin had decided to mix Obi-Wan's normal drink of orange and passion fruit juice with something much stronger - vodka.
The end result being a very drunk and hyperactive Obi-Wan and a sore-ribbed Anakin.


*Flashback*

Obi-Wan grabbed hold of a dining room chair trying to steady himself. Meanwhile, Anakin had opted to go next door and borrow some coffee beans from
Master Ju-kkau and his Padawan, Rak'ya.

Without warning the doorbell rang.

That's strange, Anakin has a key to get into the apartment. He must have forgotten it, Obi-Wan concluded as he stumbled over towards the front door.
With a flick of his hand the door opened to reveal Mace Windu and Adi Gallia.

"Maaassstter Winduuuu," Obi-Wan managed to choke out. Adi giggled as she realized that her best friend was dead-drunk.

Master Windu had an amused look spread across his face. He hadn't seen Obi-Wan drunk since Yoda's birthday party last year.

"May I come in, Obi-Wan?" Mace asked.

"NO!" Obi-Wan screamed.

Adi jumped clearly stunned by Obi-Wan's angered reaction. Just then Anakin came racing down the hallway.

"Master, I managed to find some . . . Master Windu, Master Gallia," Anakin knew he was going to be in deep trouble for getting his Master drunk. He was
going to get the Your Master is not a lab-rat lecture from Master Windu and the You may have thought it amusing from Master Gallia. But to Anakin's
amazement it seemed that Mace was quite enjoying himself and Adi was two seconds away from cracking into laughter.

Anakin smiled to himself.

"Maybe we should leave you two alone," Mace suggested. Anakin looked towards his Master, who at the moment seemed to be half-asleep on the
doorframe and to top it off he was drooling on his sleeve.

"Umm . . . yes, another time maybe," Anakin answered as he grabbed his Master and shoved him in the door - locking it as he went.

*End of Flashback*


A slight smile appeared on Obi-Wan's face. Anakin shifted position yet again and Obi-Wan was forced to let go of Anakin's hand for a second.
Anakin now lay on his back with his hands folded in front of him. Obi-Wan let his left-hand rest of Anakin's forehead as he sent peaceful emotions through
their Master/Padawan bond.

Suddenly out of the blue, Anakin's eyes flew open to greet the darkness.

"Anakin," Obi-Wan whispered softly.

Anakin looked over towards Obi-Wan and let out a long sigh.
