Chapter 10 : Blue and Bruised
DreAn's butt hurt. Why wouldn't it? He just fell 20 feet from the trees and landed on a pile of burning wood. The wood wasn't enough to burn his clothing but it was still hot. No doubt his butt was bruised and bluer than it's usual blue color. And he was caught. He couldnt't run away now. The Jedi would surely run after him if he did. Now was the time to face them and explain himself. Maybe they would be nice enough to let him come along.
The male Jedi took out a glow rod and lit up the dark campsite. The two others did the same. The male Jedi approached him.
"What are you doing here?" Was his question.
DreAn was speechless. He struggled to get a word out of his mouth, but found it too difficult."
The human female came closer to him. She ignited her lightsaber and pointed it at his throat. "Maybe this will get you talking."
"Siri he's only a little boy." The Mon Calamari protested.
"I-I-I'm sorry." DreAn managed to say. "I just wanted to follow you and see what you were up to. I-I hope that I didn't cause any trouble."
"I don't sense any deception in him Siri. Put your weapon away." Obi-Wan commanded. Siri did as she was told and hooked her saber back onto her belt. "The city is too far from here. We can't send him back now. It's too dangerous for him to go back on his own."
"I understand Obi-Wan." The Mon Calamari replied.
"Are you guys serious!!!" DreAn yelled. "You don't know how much this means to me!!! Thank you! Thank You!"
"Don't get your hopes up kid." Siri warned. "We're on an important mission right now. You better not get in the way. By the way I'm Siri Tachi. That over there is Obi-Wan." Siri looked over at the Mon Calamari and grinned. "And fish face over there is Bant Eerin."
"I'm DreAn Nav Arevir. Nice to meet you. Don't worry I won't bug you guys too much."
"Good." said Obi-Wan.

"Kid's kinda cute don't ya think Obi?" Bant commented.
"Kinda reminds me of you when you were little. Always looking for adventure and getting into trouble." Obi-Wan replied.
"You were the one always talking me into those things." Bant reminded.
"True. Oh the good old days. Nowadays we rarely have time to really hang out."
"Think how even little time we'll have when we become Jedi Knights."
"I'd rather not think about it. For now let's just enjoy what time we have together. Hey I know! When we go back to the Temple we can get the gang together and really wreak some havoc. Maybe Siri can come along." Obi-Wan suggested.
"Yea great idea! But I'm not sure about Siri."
"Aww come on Bant. Siri doesn't really hate you. She just needs time to get to know you."
"Sure... Whatever Obi. Now if you don't mind I'm gonna go get some rest. Good night."
Bant climbed into her tent and went to sleep. Siri was still sitting by the trees staring at the stars. The little boy, DreAn was sitting by the campfire rubbing his aching bottom. Obi-Wan approached him.
"Hey why don't you get some rest. You can use my tent tonight." Obi-Wan offered.
"Really! Thanks!."
DreAn climbed into Obi-Wan's tent and began to sleep. When Obi-Wan looked over to check on Siri, he realized that she too was in her tent trying to get some much needed sleep. Sitting at the trunk of one of the nearby trees Obi-Wan closed his eyes. He was asleep in a matter of minutes. Tomorrow would be a much longer day than he anticipated.
