Part 5
Change of Plans
It was not long before Qui-Gon returned. He returned with information. Taking the seat he had occupied before he said, "It seems there are problems on Dantooine. They have asked for the help of the Jedi. We are the closet so the council has asked us to settle the dispute."
"How much do we know?" asked Teevea.
"As much as can be expected in this sort of situation. We know it's a political fued regarding the fairness of the election. That's about it." said Qui-Gon.
Obi-Wan glanced up and said, "Which side asked for the aid of the Jedi?"
"The people," Qui-Gon answered.
"That makes things a little easier." commented Obi-Wan.
Qui-Gon drew a blank at his padawans statement. "Of course," Teevea began excitedly, "We can assist the voters in many ways and they'll trust us because they called for us."
Qui-Gon understood where she was coming from but he still had his doubts. "What about the government there could be conflicts with them." They were back at square one.
It was then that Qui-Gon noticed how tired his young companions were. He told them to go get some sleep and pointed them in the direction of the sleeping area.

Obi-Wan climbed into one of the chambers many bunks and shut his eyes. Teevea on the other hand sat down in a chair toward the center of the room and began reading a data card from a nearby table. They had five hours to relax.
Obi-Wan began to stir and said, "Don't you want to get some sleep?"
"I don't want to face the nightmares again," she said.
"Get over here." She looked at him and complied. He pulled the young woman into his arms. "You can sleep now. You'll be safe." Then she fell asleep, she felt safe.
