Summary: Obi-Wan meets someone important to the future.
A/N: This was just a cute little bunny that attacked viciously with nasty pointy teeth. Post Ani go Darth and Obi and Pad are on the run. OH YEAH! Thanks to Galactic Goddess for the beta! I lub you!
Obi-Wan Kenobi quickly turned down a small street before the stormtroopers behind him could see. Backing into shadows he held his breath as they ran past.
The stormtroopers came out of another side street looking for him.
In a desperate move Obi-Wan jumped into the window of a nearby house.
The room lights were out but he could still see from the dim night-light on the other side of the room. He could also see the little boy on the bed staring at him intently, but making no noise.
Slowly the boy spoke, "Who are you?"
"I'm a Jedi."
"Oh."
An awkward silence filled the air.
"Do you think I could hide here for awhile?"
"Sure. Who are you hiding from? I hide from my older brother all the time. He picks on me a lot." the child ended sadly.
Obi-Wan sat down next to him and tussled his hair, "That's not very nice of him."
The small boy looked up at Obi-Wan, glad to have someone he could actually talk to, "No. Today, he pushed me and I cried and he called me a stupid little baby."
Obi-Wan smiled at him, "Don't let him pick on you. Stand up to him, but don't get angry and use violence."
The child's bright eyes shone as he smiled up at Obi-Wan, then he suddenly shot straight up in fear.
Obi-Wan scanned the area, hand poised over his lightsaber, "What is it, little one?"
"Stormtroopers. They're here." The child jumped up and opened a door to a closet, "You can hide in here if you be careful of the monsters."
Obi-Wan looked at the boy is amazement. How had this small boy sensed the stormtroopers when he himself hadn't until just now? He couldn't believe the Jedi missed a child with that much power.
"Hurry, Mr. Jedi!"
Obi-Wan snapped out of his reverie and jumped into the closet. A moment later the door to the boy's room opened. Obi-Wan heard the boots of a stormtrooper march in closely followed by a woman's voice demanding what was going on.
The little boy's voice rang out suddenly, "Don't go in there, the monsters might eat you!"
He was warning Obi-Wan! The Jedi Knight climbed up on a shelf and behind a pile of stuffed animals.
The stormtrooper opened the closet door, briefly searching, and passed right by Obi-Wan, closing the door.
Obi-Wan waited until he heard the woman and stormtrooper leave, slowly climbed down, and then snuck out.
The boy stood waiting on him.
"Thank you for saving me, little one."
"You're welcome."
"I'm Obi-Wan Kenobi."
"I'm Han Solo."
"Thank you, Han Solo. You would make a great Jedi Knight."
Han smiled sheepishly and blushed, "Thanks."
Obi-Wan slid out the window and headed back to Padme, who was waiting in hiding, knowing that he would see that boy again.
