Chapter 10

Obi-Wan had stayed unconscious for another week until one day he just woke up. He had hoped to find Qui-Gon at his side like he usually did when he was in the healer's but he only found Nicia. Not that he was not grateful for her being there but he was still a little disappointed.

"Hey welcome back." She had said when he first woke up. "You gave us all quite a scare. I swear when you started breathing again you knocked ten years off of everyone in the room." She said with a small laugh. Obi-Wan gave a small smile then looked around.

"Where is Qui-Gon?" He asked trying to sit up but Nicia gently pushed him back down.

"Qui-Gon has been confined to his quarters till the council has come to a decision which could be any day now. I think they may have been waiting till you woke up." Nicia said. When Iason had said that they were not sure how Obi-Wan would react around Qui-Gon she had started to get her own doubts but as soon as Obi-Wan asked for Qui-Gon all doubt was gone.

"Oh so I can't see him then?" Obi-Wan asked the disappointment evident in his tone.

"I'm sorry Obi-Wan but not yet." Nicia said placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Well you could tell him something for me?"

"Sure. What would you like me to tell him?" Obi-Wan thought for a few minutes then said,

"Tell him that he was always the kind of Master I deserved, even more." Nicia didn't know how to respond. Had Obi-Wan heard Qui-Gon's goodbye? Nicia was about to ask but there was a small knock at the door. Nicia turned and saw Amaele and Drell standing in the doorway. Amaele had been avoiding Obi-Wan's room ever since they had brought him in. When she had heard about what happened earlier that week she had been so over come with joy that her friend was going to live she broke down in tears. "Well it looks like you have visitors so I'll be going. Take care Obi-Wan." Nicia said giving his shoulder one last squeeze then turning to leave. Amaele and Drell walked up to Obi-Wan Amaele took a seat in the chair next to Obi-Wan's bed. Drell stood on the other side.

"Hey Kenobi about that five dollars you owe me…" Drell began. Obi-Wan gave him a wary look. "What? I just want to get my money back before another mishap happens."

"Don't mind him Obi he's an idiot."

"Hey I resent that!" Drell said in his defense.

"You represent that?" Amaele retorted. Drell was about to say something but Obi-Wan cut him off.

"Drell don't even bother she'll talk you to the ground and you It."

"Fine but I'll you back one of these days. You won't know where and you won't know when."

"Oh I'm really scared." Amaele said sarcastically, and then turned her attention to Obi-Wan. "All joking aside, how are you doing?"

" I'm doing much better. What about you? You look mike hell."

"I'm just kind of tired I've been worried about you."

"We all have." Drell added. "It was a really stupid thing you did Kenobi…but who the hell am I to judge? I probably would have done the same thing of it was my Master." Amaele punched Obi-Wan in the shoulder lightly.

"Don't ever do anything like this again." She said sternly. Obi-Wan smiled.

"I'll try."

Nicia walked down the halls of the Jedi temple with a light step. She came to the quarters of Qui-Gon Jinn, which at the moment was being guarded by two Jedi knights.

"Step aside boys." She said. "I need to have a word with the prisoner." The two knights exchanged glances then stepped to that side and let Nicia pass. "Thank you." She said as she activated the door and walked in to the common room.

"Qui-Gon." She called. Nicia looked around the room and noticed several boxes set on the floor and it looked like half the room was packed in those boxes. "Qui-on I know you are here." She walked to the back of the apartment. The door to Qui-Gon's room was open and the light on. Nicia walked to the doorway and stood there. Qui-Gon was taking things out of his rooms closet and placing them in another box. He did not seem to notice her standing at the door or perhaps he was choosing to ignore her. "Qui-Gon stop. What are you doing?" She asked. Qui-Gon did not stop.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" He asked not even looking at her.

"Qui-Gon Stop!" She said more forcibly. He stopped at the bed where the box filled with various items sat.

"Nicia I'm leaving." He said staring into nothing.

"Leaving? But what about Obi-Wan?"

"Nicia please it's all for the best if I just leave." Qui-Gon said and then continued with his packing.

"You mean run away." She shook her head and gave a sarcastic laugh. "So that's how it is." She said. " After everything that has happened the great Qui-Gon Jinn wants to quite." Qui-Gon was obviously not going to listen to reason but maybe the blunt truth would work.

"Nicia it's none of your business it never was."

"None of my business?! It is my business Qui-Gon. I am a part of this whether you like it or not. I was there when we rescued Obi-Wan from that force forsaken place. I was there when he would awaken from nightmares during that night after we got back. I was there in when he awoke in the healer's ward bed and I'm here now to try and get it through your thick skull that you are making a mistake by leaving! What Obi-Wan went through was a horrible experience that I would not even wish on my worst enemy but he is still fighting!" She stopped to take a breath and calm herself. " A few moments ago he woke up asking for you—"

"Why would he be asking for me?" Qui-Gon asked miserably.

"Let me finish." Nicia said. "He wanted to see you. I told him that you were not allowed to at this moment so he gave me a message for you. He said that you were always the kind of Master he deserved, even more." Qui-Gon looked at her in awe.

"He heard me?" Qui-Gon asked in wholehearted amazement.

"It appears that way." Nicia said. Qui-Gon sat down on the bed.

"How could he say such a thing after what I did?"

"Because I know that it wasn't you." Both Nicia and Qui-Gon turned to the sound of a new voice that had entered the room. It was Obi-Wan! Amaele and Drell stood at his side. Obi-Wan still kind of weak and they were there to help support him if needed. "Well it was you…but not the Qui-Gon that I know." He began to walk forward. Amaele stepped forward to help him but Obi-Wan put up a hand and she remained where she was.

"When I was in that hospital bed back at the healer's ward," Obi-Wan began. " I was seriously considering giving up. I thought that I had nothing to come back to but then I heard you and I knew it would be a mistake if I didn't come back." He stopped about a foot away from Qui-Gon. "And if the Council allows you to remain in the order I would be honored if you could still be my Master." Qui-Gon didn't know what to say he just could not find the words to express what he was feeling. So he didn't say anything but pulled Obi-Wan into a fierce hug. 

"That is so beautiful." Amaele said. "I need a hug now." Drell looked over at her then extended his arms. She looked back at him skeptically. Then shrugged. " Oh what the heck." She said and gave Drell a hug. After a few moments she tried to pull away but Drell would not let go. "All right Drell that's enough…Come on Drell let go…. Drell!" She finally got free from his grasp.

"Okay I hate to stop this very touching moment but I think we should get Obi-Wan back to the Healer's ward before they discover him missing." Nicia said. Obi-Wan pulled away from Qui-Gon and began to walk slowly towards the door. Nicia, Amaele and Drell were already walking out into the common room.

" How did you three get past the two guards outside anyway?" Nicia asked the two apprentices.

"Oh just a little force suggestion." Amaele said.

"You used a mind trick to make the guards let you in?" Amaele and Drell nodded. " That wrong you know." Nicia reprimanded. Drell looked over in the direction of Qui-Gon's room. He shrugged.

"Yeah we know. But sometimes you do the wrong things for the right reasons." He said.

Epilogue 

"What happened after that? Did the council allow Qui-Gon to remain?" Tahiri asked. Amaele Smiled at the girl's enthusiasm.

"Of course they did. I wouldn't tell a story without a happy ending. Master Qui-Gon was taken off field duty for a while and had to see that mind healer for quite sometime but eventually everything went back to the way it was." Amaele flipped through some of the pages of her journal and sighed. "So many memories." She mused to herself. Then she held it out for Luke. "Here you keep it there are a few other interesting stories in there." Then something dawned on her and she quickly took it back before Luke could take it and ripped out a few pages. "Sorry." She said blushing. " These have some highly personal material." Amaele then handed it back to him.

She looked over at a clock mounted on the wall. "My look at the time its getting pretty late. I'm sure your ship is ready by now. I'm sorry for keeping you so long with my rambling on." 

"It was a very interesting story." Mara commented. She looked down at the photo that Amaele had taken over 60 years earlier. "Sad too." Amaele nodded in agreement.

"Yes but like I said it has a happy ending, which is rare in life." She paused seeming to be in deep thought. The sparkle in her seemed o fade somewhat. Then she looked up at the group again. " I guess you should be going I have kept you here long enough." Amaele said rising from her seat.

"It has been a pleasure Miss Olvan." Luke said.

"No the pleasure was all mine. I hope things turn out for the best with the war between you and the Vong."

"Yurzhan Vong." Tahiri corrected.

" Goodbye Miss Olvan, Mrs. Vidette." Luke said bowing

" And to you Master Jedi and please feel free to return sometime in the future. The Jedi will always be welcome here."

                                                                   The End.

Okay here is your bonus you how DVDs sometimes have those little extras at the end I thought it would be cute to have that to finish off this story. So I'm going to have some behind the scene interviews with Characters, Bloopers and never before seen parts (Really they are parts I meant to put in but when the time came to type I forgot about them.). The format is script and I talk like it is being made like a movie. Some of this may be kind of stupid or silly or maybe even make no sense but it was fun to writeJ

                                                            The Making of

                                                          To lose ones faith

:: Cut to set for the history class scene. Various people are coming and going preparing for the scene.::

Felicia: There were times during this story where I would just be saying to myself "Oh              God what have I gotten myself into?"

:: Cut to scene with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Standing with Evzen on the Fabron set.::

Obi-Wan: It may seem violent and dark and even at some parts sadistic but I think there is a deeper part to it.

Felicia: Obi-Wan was a really good sport. Its hard to find a character that is willing to die twice in the same story.

:Cut to scene with Amaele obi-wan and Drell, standing on the balcony.::

Amaele: I liked it…well of course I liked it. It was the biggest part I have ever had in a story. Even though its only for comedic relief.

Obi-Wan: Working with Amaele was…interesting. She is just the silliest person I have ever met.

:: Cut to shot of Amaele singing the Star wars theme in opera style.

"Dum Dum. Dum da da Dum Dum! Dum da da Dum Dum! Dum da da Duuuuuum." She then bows::

Amaele: Obi-Wan called me silly? ::laughs:: Isn't that just the pot calling the kettle black.

::Cut to shot of Obi-wan sanding in the room with blood smeared everywhere and the dead doctor. Obi-wan says with a satisfied smile

" Another successful operation."::

Obi-wan: What was it like fighting Qui-Gon? It was great I got the crap kicked out of me but it was great…he would come after me if I said anything else.

Qui-Gon: ::says jokingly:: I can't say that I didn't enjoy beating up even a little bit.

::Cut to scene with Obi-wan and Qui-Gon fighting::

Obi-wan: You know I just realized even though the story is mostly about me Nicia has the most lines.

Nicia: ::laughing:: I can't help it. I just can't seem to shut up.

::cut to shot of Amaele sitting in a makeup chair::

Amaele: You know with a cast filled with so many different types of personalities there are bound to be screw-ups. Well besides from me I'm an expert at this sort of thing. Hey just take a look and judge for yourself.

::Cut to scene where the doctors are giving Obi-wan electro shock therapy. Obi-Wan is convulsing on the table. There is a ding heard off screen. One of the nurses turns to the doctor and says,

"He's done."::

::Cut to scene with Qui-Gon in the holding cell and Nicia yelling at him.

"No Qui-Gon I do know I knew…I know…I know…damnit I'm going to start over. No Qui-Gon I do know… I know…I know you better not be laughing at me." Qui-Gon covers his mouth trying to hide his smile.::

::Cut to scene with Obi-Wan talking with Nicia after he has awaken in the Healer's ward after his near death experience.

"Tell him that he was always the kind of Master I deserved, even more."He then breaks down and laughs. "I'm sorry I'm sorry." He says and tries to control himself but then just begins to laugh harder.::

Obi-Wan: Now for a real treat some never before seen scenes from to lose one faith enjoy.

::This scene takes place during the balcony scene right after Amaele explains the reason she brought a camera.

"Say Amaele what are the chances of you and me hooking up?" Drell asked. Amaele looked over at him

"Extremely thin." She says simple but Drell presses on.

"Why?"

"Because Drell I have known you like forever and say hypothetically I were to kiss you it would be like kissing my brother." Drell looks back out over the skyscrapers of Coruscant. Then turns back to her. 

"So that's a maybe?" ::

::This scene was suppose to go in right before they cut Obi-Wan's life support.

Healer Laria, Mind Healer Iason , Nicia, Qui-Gon and Amaele stood in Obi-Wan's room the life support machines giving the comforting sounds that Obi-wan was still alive.

"I can't believe that this is happening! That you are actually giving up on him!" Amaele exclaimed. She turned to Qui-Gon. " This is your fault!"

"Amaele!" Healer Laria said.

"I can't stay and watch this!" she said and ran out of the room. Healer Laria was about to go after her but Iason held her back.

Amaele ran down the halls of the temple past Masters, knights and other Padawans. She did not care where she was going she just needed to get away. Suddenly she collided with a person. She looked up and saw Drell.

"Amaele what's wrong?" he asked with concern when he saw the traces of tears rolling down her face.

"They are going to…going to…" She could not bring herself and just let the tears flow freely. She began to fall to her knees but Drell was there to catch her. Though she would usually pull away from Drell she let herself fall into his embrace needing the comfort. He knew what she was trying to say. ::

::This scene was suppose to go in when Nicia was talking with Iason.

" He is still holding on to his anger." Iason told his friend.

"What but the Sith lord is dead and those doctors are being prosecuted for there crimes from the way they treated all those people." Nicia said somewhat confused.

"His anger is not directed towards them but towards himself. He blames himself for what happened."

"Well really Iason if that was you apprentice how would you feel?"

"Nicia I am a mind healer. I study feelings I don't actually feel them." Nicia patted his shoulder.

"Spoken like a true healer." ::
