Sorry I haven't posted in a while but since it's the weekend I'll have more time!!!

Chapter 7~Vacation to Gynin

Obi-Wan was running around the ship with so much energy, just watching him made Qui-Gon tired.

"Master, why are we going to Gynin?"

"To get away from the pressures of the temple."

Xanatos nodded.

"And master, why did he have to come?" He asked pointing to Obi-Wan.

Qui-Gon sighed and looked at his padawan.

"Remember when the council wanted to talk with me?"

"Yes."

"Well, Obi-Wan's father had come to take him. I thought we were going to loose him. Not even Yoda knew what to do."

Qui-Gon told Xanatos the rest of the story. When he looked up Obi-Wan had run off somewhere.

"Obi-Wan?"

"Yeah Ky-Gin?"

"Come sit down we will be landing soon."

It didn't take long for Qui-Gon to hear the little feet of Obi-Wan running to him. Obi-wan jumped on Qui-Gon's lap and they waited to land.

"Ky-Gin look at the bired!"

Obi-Wan started to chase after some native pepin birds.

"This place is so peaceful," Qui-Gon said to Xanatos as they walked toward the beach.

"Will we be training while we are here?"

"No. This is a place to meditate and relax." He said smiling.

"How long will we be here?"

"Hmmm, about three days."

Qui-Gon started to walk to the hut where the jedi would be staying when he heard Xanatos laughing. He turned around and saw Obi-Wan being chased by three pepin birds. He couldn't help but laugh quietly to himself.

"Ky-Gin help me!" He yelled, running as fast as his little legs could carry him.

Qui-Gon stood in his path and swiped Obi-Wan up. He waved his hand at the birds and they flew away.

Obi-wan had his face buried in Qui-Gon's shoulder.

"You're okay now Obi-Wan."

He lifted his head and looked at Qui-Gon with a tear-streaked face.

"The bireds were gonna get me."

"I wouldn't let the birds get you Obi-Wan."

"An' Antos was laughing at me."

"I know, and that wasn't very nice." They came to the beach and Qui-Gon put Obi-Wan down. "Why don't you go swimming?"

"Okie."

Obi-Wan started to run toward the water. After taking off his boots he went into the water.

"Xanatos."

"Yes master?"

"Watch Obi-Wan while I take our luggage to the hut."

"Yes master."

Xanatos watched Qui-Gon go then he turned around and walked toward the water.

"Hey Antos the water is bue!"

"Blue, Obi-Wan."

"Yea blluee." He said and started to splash around in the water.

"Ouch!"

"What is it?"

"I hurt me foot on something."

Obi-Wan limped up to the sand and sat down so Xanatos could examine his foot.

"Hmmm, looks like you stepped on a rock or something." He said then walked out to the place where Obi-Wan cut himself. Sifting through the sand Xanatos found a conch shell.

"Well Obi-Wan, it looks like you cut yourself on a conch shell."

"K..C..Kone.. Whats a onch sell?"

"A conch shell is a seashell. When you put it up to your ear you can hear the ocean."

"Let me listen."

Xanatos gave Obi-Wan the shell and watched as he smiled at his newfound toy.

"Why aren't you swimming Obi-Wan?"

Qui-Gon asked coming up behind Obi-Wan and Xanatos.

"I hurt meslef."

"You did? How?"

"I stepped on a onch sell."

"A conch shell?"

"Yepp. See?" he said holding it up.

Qui-Gon took it and put it up to his ear.

"Do you hear the ocean Ky-Gin?"

"Yes I do." He said and gave the shell back to Obi-Wan.

"Ky-Gin will you heal my foots?"

"Which foot did you hurt?"

"dis un." He said and pointed to his left.

Qui-Gon took out some bacta and wrap to fix Obi-Wan's foot.

"Thanks Ky-Gin." He said getting up and running back to the water.

"Master?"

"Yes Xanatos?"

"Would it be alright if I go and meditate now?"

"Yes that would be fine. It's getting to be twilight time anyway."

Xanatos nodded and walked to the hut.

About a half an hour later it started to get dark.

Still under the watchful eye of Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan was getting tired. Qui-Gon watched the little boy walk back onto the sand, his conch shell in hand.

"Ky-Gin?"

"Yes Obi-Wan?"

"How long we stayen'?"

"Just three days."

"So tomorrow and the next day?"

"Yes."

Obi-Wan yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"Perhaps it's time for young initiates to go to bed." Qui-Gon said looking at Obi-Wan.

Reluctantly Obi-Wan agreed and Qui-Gon helped him into bed.

"Ky-Gin?"

"Yes Obi-Wan?"

"I wish we could stay longer."

"I know. Perhaps someday we will return."

"Okie, Ky-Gin."

Qui-Gon watched as Obi-Wan closed his eyes, then he walked out of the room and went to find Xanatos.

"Good evening padawan."

Xanatos looked up from his data pad.

"Good evening master."

"Is there anything you would want to do tomorrow?"

"No. Just relax."

Qui-Gon smiled.

"Then that's exactly what we will do."
