A/N-Very sorry I took so long on this chapter, but I've been busy with my English term paper and some other things. Sorry. Thankx, as always, to Miss B, my awesome beta. Couldn't do it without you!



As the Sun Rises

"Boooooooooo," something soft and warm purred as it began to methodically lick Obi-Wan's face.

"Ungh...go 'way Masser. No wanna get up. AUGHHH! NOOOOOOO! MAAASSSTTEERR! HEEELLLLPP!" Obi-Wan screamed as his sleep clouded mind began to process the fact that there was a balloon shaped head bobbing back and forth in front of his face.

"Boo?" it questioned as Obi-Wan jerked upright into a semi-vertical position and realized that he was in the hall outside of his door.

"Master! Open up! Lemme in! I'll clean my room! I'll do the laundry for a month! I'll eat all the incinerated pork chops you can make, just LET ME IN!!!"

Nothing but snoring. The cat moved in, pinning Obi-Wan against his locked door. Obi vaulted over him and sprinted down the hall, the cat close on his heels. Racing blindly through the Temple, past startled onlookers, Obi- Wan found himself in the gardens. The cat was nowhere to be seen.

Obi-Wan suddenly found himself eye-to-eye with a big bobbing head as the cat leaped into his path. Instinctively stepping back, he realized a second too late that he was standing directly infront of a fountain. He groaned as he pulled himself out of the freezing water and realized that he had an audience. A group of young initiates and their teacher on a tour of the gardens had somehow managed to witness the entire event. Obi quickly ducked behind a tree until the teacher hustled them away.

As he tried to extricate himself from his hiding place, he realized that he had somehow managed to hide in a pile of burrs that were now pinning him in place. "DARNNIT!" he screamed as he pulled free, most of the burrs still firmly attached to his hair and tunic.

"Okay kitty, this is it. Just you and me. Come out and show yourself buddy! Or are you too scared?! Huh?!" Obi-Wan challenged as he tried to shake the water out of his eyes, pull off burrs, and locate the small feline in the immense tangle of trees all at the same time.

"Boo," a small voice whispered from somewhere directly above his head. Scared to death, Obi-Wan pulled out his lightsaber and heard a hiss from the cat as he ignited it. The cat dropped out from the safety of his tree and faced Obi-Wan. Obi swung at the cat and stared in suprise as his lightsaber flew across the garden and into a waiting hand.

"Do that you will not, Obi-Wan."

"Yes, Master Yoda," a very grumpy Obi reluctantly conceded.

"Look bad you do. Be here at this hour, you should not. Look like that you must not. Take you to Master Poof I will. Clean you up he shall. Take good care of you he will."

"But-Master Yoda-I-um...yes Master," Obi-Wan gave up. "This is just NOT my day," he muttered to himself.

A/N- Alright, what'd you think? More? Since I'm on Christmas break, I should be able to post a couple more chapters soon if I get some reviews on this one. Thankx.
