What's Obi - Wan been up to?
*****************
Obi-Wan looked at the clock, and it read 12:15 pm. He sighed, it would be at least another hour before he reached his home on Coruscant, the Jedi Temple. He was tired and wanted to rest, but that was nearly impossible on this small vessel. True, there was a bed in the next room, but it was just very uncomfortable.
The simple mission that he had just completed on Rhegan had really tired him out. He had to settle a dispute between two neighboring villages that were fighting over mining rights, just the usual disagreements, nothing out of the ordinary.
Sitting in the cockpit, staring at the passing stars as he sped through hyperspace, was not Obi-wan's idea of fun. He'd much rather be at home. Obi-wan sat there silently listening to the usual hums and beeps of the ship and then he felt a cool draft. It reminded him of a similar draft he had felt aboard another ship, almost seven years ago.
His eyes closed and all he could see was that beautiful face. The face he feared he would never see again.
When he had first met her, he hadn't realized who she was. He wasn't able to see her true beauty underneath all of that make-up, but he knew she was special. He felt her secret, and he had to tell her he knew.
He and his master had been assigned to protect the Queen. While they were escaping from Naboo, the queen's ship was struck by the Trade Federation's fire, damaging one of the parts. They had stopped on Tatooine, the nearest planet, to get the ship fixed. Of course Obi-wan had to remain aboard the ship while Qui-Gon Jinn, and Padmé traveled into Mos Espa, for he had to protect the Queen.
There was no choice but to stay, never mind how much he disliked sitting on the ship doing nothing. That didn't matter to anyone. It was his duty. But the only possible reason he didn't argue or have a fit of rage was because of her.
The twin suns were about to set, and everything was going well aboard the vessel, so he decided to take a break. What harm could it possibly do?
It was a spectacular display, very peaceful, and lovely. He didn't know how long she had been standing there, but she had been for a while. When he turned to greet her, she smiled and stood beside him. She was dressed as she should be, as the young Queen of Naboo. But she couldn't hide it from him, because he knew her secret.
They stood in silence gazing at the horizon, losing all sense of time. They welcomed the quietness, and an unspoken bond formed between the two.
All to soon, it was over and she bid him good-bye, although she'd much rather stand by his side. As she turned to leave, their eyes met and they stood there gazing at each other with love and compassion. No words were spoken, but their eyes had let out the secret that their very souls were keeping. It was then that Obi-wan knew that he more than liked her, and that his feelings were forbidden but for those few seconds, he didn't care.
And as they parted he knew that he would have to tell her how he felt about her. Before it was too late.
It was his last night on Naboo, and he needed comfort. His Master, who was the only father he had ever known, was dead. Even though he was now one with the force, he couldn't help but feel a deep pain in his heart. A deep pain that would not go away easily, maybe not ever.
He found himself wandering through the great garden, finding a little comfort and peace. Then he had sensed her. He knew she would be there, waiting and hoping, just like he.
He didn't have to go far to find her, and when he did, his heart soared with joy. Obi-wan's breath was taken away by her beauty. She turned towards him, and they gazed at each other with longing eyes. Neither wanting to forget the moment. Time didn't matter to them; they wanted to spend as much of it together as they could.
But as he drew nearer to her, he realized tears were streaking down her face. He asked her what was wrong and she told him. She said that she had a secret, and it was for him alone to know.
He remembered being frightened but relieved, because he somehow knew what she was going to say. And when she spoke those three words, he said the same back. He felt it was meant to be, and he didn't argue with that thought.
Their first kiss was soft and beautiful, but soon it grew more passionate and full of love. He knew it wasn't what he should be doing, but he didn't care. It felt so right. and it was right.
What they shared that night was greater than anything he could've imagined, and he would remember it forever.
* * * Wasn't that beautiful? (sob) Please let me know what you think!!!
