Qui-gon had always wondered when and if the day would come when he met Obi- wan again....

So many times he had wondered how it would be..... Now he knew.

He was still at the Infirmary, in the waiting room... Qui-gon hung his head in his hands, it had been a long day for him. He had woken in the middle of the night and had gone out for some fresh air. Aad that's where Obi-wan came in...

Since then, he'd gone with Mace to the healers, waited for many hours meditating, waiting for Obi-wan to awake, and now much later that day, he'd just been told to leave.

That's it - leave.

In his mind, images of how he had just seen Obi-wan played through Qui- gon's head.

Oh how empty his apprentice looked, and his eyes...oh his eyes!

Qui-gon remembered how they used to facinate him, with how they seemed to change colors but were always so bright.....

Now, they were a dull, yet hard and angry gray.

An involuntary shudder escaped Qui-gon, and he felt Master yoda small three- fingered hand rest gently on his shoulder.

He heard Master Yoda gently sigh, "Changed, much has..." the jedi master queitly said.

Qui-gon nodded, "Why..why did he come back?" he finlly asked.

Another small sigh escaped the jedi master, "A mission, Obi-wan had.... told you he did."

A blank looked crossed Qui-gon's face as he tried to remember what exactly had happened that night.

Quickly, though, the answer came to him, and Qui-gon realised the thruth.

"He...he tried to..kill me, didn't he?" Qui-gon tried to say, almost unable to speak.

Master Yoda slowly nodded.

Qui-gon put his hands against his forehead again, in despair and the feeling of..of failure?

Yoda removed his hand, and stood up. "Answers, you shall find Qui-gon." he said, and then hobbled off....

Obi-wan sat in his room, by the window.

The healers had given him a break from the constant sedatives, but he was bound to the chair, for their safety...

Obi-wan gased out the window at the busy corusant airways.A small sigh escaped him.

Obi-wan closed his eyes, and bit his lip.

~The simplest mission, and I blew it!~ he angrily thought. ~Master is going to all but kill me if I ever get out of here...~

For a moment, Obi-wan wasn't quite sure which would be worse, to stay locked in here forever, or go face Lord Sideous.....

Obi-wan pondered the idea for a mement, then quickly decided that no matter what his master did to him, nothing would be as bad as facing the one jedi here....

Obi-wan shuddered as he remembered the man he had encountered on the Balcony, then he had enter Obi-wan's room, with that green troll.....

The man seemed to know him, and it almost scared Obi-wan. He had a feeling the man was Qui-gon, but the man hadn't remembered him either, so could he rally be his former master?

Obi-wan shook his head.

He sat there staring out the window for quite some time, before he heard the swish of the door sliding open.

Obi-wan didn't have to turn around to know who it was, it was him. The man, Qui-gon Jinn.....

Obi-wan continued to stare blankly out the window, refusing to turn to the man.

"Obi-wan..." Qui-gon slowly said.

Obi-wan ignored him.~Just go away.....~ he silently begged.

"Obi-wan, Please turn around..." The man pleaded.

Obi-wan refused, but he felt the chair slwoly turning around anyway...

~That dirty Jedi!~ Obi-wan thought, letting his anger surge.

He watched as Qui-gon sighed, and closed his eyes.

He felt Qui-gon's presence through the Force, edging nearer and nearer....

~He wouldn't dare try and go through my shields, would he?~ Obi-wan wondered.

A second later, he felt Qui-gon's presence try to enter through Obi-wan's shields.

As soon as he did that, Qui-gon was thrown back against the wall, through Obi-wan's grasp of the force.

"Stay out... of my head." Obi-wan hissed.

Qui-gon stared at his former apprentice in disbelief.

Two of the healers burst in, one headed toward Qui-gon, and the other went towards Obi-wan, carrying an injection needle of sedatives....

Obi-wan saw the healer coming for him, and braced himself for the injection.

Quickly it was over with though.

Obi-wan stared at the healer, as his vison started to slightly blur.

He blinked, feeling a bit hazy, but usually the sedative completely knocked him out immeadiatly.

Obi-wan felt the darkness slowly come, and Obi-wan closed his eyes.

Suddenly, though, his eyes popped back open, and for a moment, he was confused.

The healer apparently wasn't though, he was gaping at Obi-wan, and yelling something to his partner.

His words seemed to blur into nothing at first, but Obi-wan slowly became aware of what they were saying.

"Delvoped......Immunity..... "

"Sith!"

"Grab...let's...tell...council...."

Obi-wan hazily watched as they ran, and the darkness slowly took him once more....

_________

Qui-gon was runnin after the two healers, he wasn't quite sure why, he was still shocked that Obi-wan had been able to litterlally throw him against the wall by using the force...

"Stop!" he yelled to the healers.

They both turned, "M..m aster Jinn," the man started to say.

"We have to tell council, Obi-wan has developed an immunity to the sedatives!" The woman finnished.

Qui-gon looked at the two,"Many people can develope immunities," he slowly stated.

The woman shook her head rapidly,"No, you see, those sedatives should knock a person out for at least 24 hours! he didn't stay under for 2 minutes!"

A startled look crossed Qui-gon's face," One..one of you go and inform the council, and return with a force-suppresent, the other shall come with me, and we will attend to Obi-wan." he said.

"I'll go," the male healer offered, and the woman nodded, and she headed back to Obi-wan's room with Qui-gon.

Qui-gon reached out with the force and calmed down the healer, and they slowly walked back to Obi-wan's room.

when they reached it, Qui-gon turned to the healer, "Please wait outside, if anything goes wrong, I shall call you." he told her.

She nodded, and held the door open for him.

Qui-gon took a deep breath, and stepped inside.

He saw Obi-wan, still bound to the chair, his head slumped against his chest.

Qui-gon walked over, and sat in another chair next to Obi-wan.

He watched Obi-wan for a while, "Oh, Obi-wan, what have I done to you?" he finally whispered.

At that Obi-wan lifted his head and looked right into Qui-gon's eyes.

"What did you do?" he asked.

Qui-gon looked confused,"What do you...mean, Obi-wan?" he asked.

Obi-wan blinked his eyes sevral times, still feeling hazy from the ineffective sedative."I..I remember you...barely.." he queitly said, almost to himself.

Qui-gon stared at his former apprentice,"You..you don't remember?" he stutered.

Obi-wan continued to stare back at Qui-gon, and shook his head, his gaze never wavering.

"Oh, gods..." Qui-gon breathed.
