Chapter Nine : Obsessions
Garen and Reeft had gone to the hangar to check out the new Jedi Starfighters. Garen couldn't resist jumping into one of them and give it a test drive. He climbed into one of the two seated models so Reeft could come along for the ride.
"I'm going to help Obi." Garen declared. "Can't be too careful when Siri Tachi is involved. I wonder how Master Gallia puts up with her."
"Are you insane Garen!!! What will your master say about this?"
"Reeft stop worrying. He's on one of those solo missions. No need to worry about him for another three weeks."
"What about the Council?!?! What do you think they will do if they found out about this?"
"Well we'll just have to tell them that Obi-Wan needed our help. We couldn't just ignore his call for assistance."
"I swear Garen. Im going to-."
"Reeft. Shut up. I've already set the coordinates for Shiantar. Better buckle up."
"I can't believe you got us into this mess!" Reeft complained. "Well be kicked out of the Jedi Order fro sure!"
"Oh quit your complaining Reeft!" Garen chuckled. "When's the last time you've been outta the temple?"
"It's been a long time." Reeft admitted.
"Well it's about time you got out of the temple. And besides this little fighter was getting lonely. I just couldn't leave it all alone."
Reeft sighed. "You and your stupid obsession with starfighters."

Hyperspace. This new Jedi Starfighter model had hyperspace capabilites and it would take Garen and Reeft to Shiantar in only three days. They knew the kind of trouble they would be in when the Council found out about their little plan. The trouble they were in wasn't enough to get them kicked out of the Order. Although it would probably get them an entire year of extra meditations. But they couldn't just let Bant and Obi-Wan have all the fun.
It was getting really quiet. Garen and Reeft hadn't said a word to each other since they took off. The reason being Reeft was asleep. Garen also wanted to get some sleep but it was hard for him to fall asleep. Reeft was a loud snorer. Garen could remember a time when the two were paired up on a camping trip. Garen spent many sleepless nights on that camping trip. Maybe he could get some sleep as soon as Reeft woke up.
A few hours later Reeft did wake up. Garen felt tired and exhausted. Sleep would do him good and now that Reeft was awake sleep was a possibilty.
Garen slept peacefully. Reeft watched him curiously. He had obviously been awake most of the time. He probably knew why. Garen had always complained about his loud snoring. Even when Reeft fell asleep during classes he still snored. He was easily caught by the teachers because of his snoring problem. Reeft chuckled at the thought.

"Where are those two troublemakers!" Mace Windu asked the supervisors at the hangar.
"We saw them take off Master Windu." the supervisor replied.
"Have you any idea where to?" Mace asked.
"Not a clue Master Windu."
Mace growled. "Those two are going to be in a lot of trouble when i find them."
