Qui-gon paced back and forth, in the Queens throne room.The queen sat on her throne watching him as he paced.

"Your sure that you you can not feel him, Master Jedi?" Amidala asked.

Qui-gon shook his head, no."It's...It's like there's a wall, or maybe there's just nothing, but I should've felt him die, all the jedi should've felt him die!" Qui-gon explained, frustereated.

"So, you jedi never placed a tracking chip on him?" the queen asked.

Again, Qui-gon shook his head no."There was no need, he's a jedi, any other Jedi should've been able to find him if something ever happened..."

"Hmmmmm.." Amdiala sighed. "We have sent out many search parties, in search of Obi-wan, but stil no one has seen him, are you sure he's on Naboo?"

"No, I'm not sure, but I had a vision, and a Jedi and a Sith both whispered,'Naboo,' and then disapeared..I think the Force may be directing me here..."

Qui-gon sat down, and sighed."I..I.."

"Yes?" the queen asked.

"No, nevermind..it's nothing," Qui-gon said.

Amidala smiled," Master Jinn, it's just us, nothing formal, you can tll me what bothers you..."

Qui-gon looked at her,"I..I told the council basicaly that I..Would..rather have Anakin as my apprentice than..Obi-wan..."Qui-gon sobbed.

"You what?" Amidala asked in disbelief,~Poor Obi-wan, he must have been crushed!~ she thought.

Qui-gon swallowed, and took a deep breath, " It's..It's jedi tradition for the Master to privately tell the padawan when he believes he is ready to become a knight, and also part of the traditiion is to celebrate, and then tell the council......But I..I just walked in and said that I take Anakin as my padawan, and Obi-wan could face the trials..."

Amidala looked shocked, how could this Jedi do such a thing to a padawan like Obi-wan who only wished to please his master?

"Continue, please." she said.

Qui-gon sighed,"I promised that I would make everything up to him, once we got to Naboo, but I never got the chance, one minute we were in battle, and the next I was crying out as I watched a sith steal him away from me!"

Amidala shook her head..."Master Jinn, The thing for you to do is to calm yourself, and try everything in your power to find Obi-wan, and tell him how you feel." she told him.

Qui-gon slowly stood up and nodded, and bowed.

"Goodluck, jedi." Amidala called to him as he left.

Qui-gon turned to her,"Thank you your highness, I will find him, if I don't.....I..I don't know what I'll do.." Then he turned away and left the palace.

When he was outside, Qui-gon stood for a moment,surveying the streets wonder wich way to go, when suddenly he felt a presence entre the force so strong , he fell to his knees...

He gasped out, "Obi-wan!" then blacked out...

_________________________

When the Force fully returned to Obi-wan, it hit him like a wall, and he almost lost his grip on concisnous.

He slowly took a deep breath, then used the force to reach out, searching for his master, but he couldn't find him...~Oh NO... he couldn't..be..dead..could he?~ Obi-wan thought, as he finally gave up searching for his master.

//Master?// he tried calling.

No answer.

Obi-wan sighed.

Then he felt something dark, and evil drifting closer, and closer, as he noticed Sideous standing in a corner of the large room.

Sideous walked closer. "So..." he said."You have your precisous force back...But where is the Master? Oh, my, he's still not here, he's just going to leave his so-called apprentice all alone..." Sideous taunted....

"Go away."Obi-wan said.

"Oh, but no..." Sideous began. "I went through all this trouble to get you here, and went out of my way to keep you alive, and did you think I might have a reason for that, hmm?

Obi-wan just stared at the Sith.

"Ah, Very well. My reason, you were right all along, puny jedi, I want to show you the wonders of the darkside." Sideous simply explained.

"I will never join you, or the Darkside!" Obi-wan said.

"Oh, we will see, won't we, apprentice?" Sideous said.

"I'm not your---" Obi-wan began.

"Silence!" Sideous roared. he reached out his hand and Obi-wan fell back into unconsisnous......

------------Dream - Obi-wan ------------------

There was Qui-gon, but anger flowed off of him...

He suddenly spun, to face Obi-wan, and paced around him.

"You should've been a farmer, your a failure as a jedi!!!" Qui-gon's words hit Obi-wan like a whip.

"Well, then maybe you should've just left me on Bandomeer!" Obi-wan replied, surprised at the anger within him, this was Qui-gon, his master, he was talking to....

Qui-gon glared at him, "I wish I had..." he muttered.

~Now that hurt.~thought Obi-wan, as the scene slowly started to melt, back to the usuall darkness...

Sideous appeared in front of him,"So, little Jedi, what will your choice be?" he asked, laughing hysterically.

"I..I.." suddenly the answer was so clear to Obi-wan, He wanted to say no, but.......

--------------End Dream---------------------

Obi-wan slowly awaoke and shuddered, then looked round for Sideous, but the Sith was nowhere to be seen or felt through the force, so Obi-wan relaxed some, but wondered what was about to happen....
