Epilogue:

The ship that saved your life had landed almost a month ago. After you returned to home sweet home, your relationship with Obi-Wan grew, and people began to take notice.

Qui-Gon and Galexa pretty much already knew, so it was no surprise to them when you both came clean.

The people that were the most surprised were yours and Obi-Wan's friends. They hadn't even seen it coming. But everyone soon grew accustomed to it and congratulated you endlessly.

After a couple of weeks back, the Council called you both in for a meeting. You freaked and thought it was going to be about your relationship with Kenobi, even though Master Yoda had given his "blessing".

Boy were you wrong.

The meeting was simply about your mission. The Council apologized for allowing both of your captures to take place and offered you both a new mission that consisted of nothing more than helping the homeless creatures on Tatooine.

You both, however, declined the offered mission, stating that you wanted to get accustomed to being home again.

The Council ended up agreeing and gave you leave. You later found out that they had instead given the mission to a fellow Jedi-in-training named Gastoff.

That, however, was last week. Obi-Wan and yourself had happily returned to the consistent routines of going to classes, studying and doing homework, and, of course, hanging out with your friends (both groups getting along quite nicely).

So now, here you are at the end of one thing, yet at the beginning of something entirely new, and it, oddly, feels exhilarating. Normally, you wouldn't be so excited about an uncertain future but for some really strange reason, when you're with Obi-Wan, there's no reason to dwell on the past or the future. There is only the present. Sure subconsciously you're going to worry but at least it won't dominate you thoughts.

All that matters is that the universe is right when he holds you in his arms.

Funny how life works, isn't it? It has a really strange way of making you think one thing and totally turning that around on you into something that should be frightfully new. But somehow, you're ready for it, so it's not scary, it's just...life.

"Hey, Obi, which holo-vid do you wanna watch?" you ask, holding a stack of holo-cases and plopping onto the couch in your study room.

Obi-Wan sits beside you and takes a few from the stack you've got.

"Hmm, how about this one? I've never seen it," he says, holding a movie out within your view.

You look at him with an eyebrow raised.

"You want to watch this? Obi, it's a chick-flick, not to mention a musical. There are no explosions, no war, no hovercraft chases. Are you sure?" you ask, taking the holo away from him.

He looks at you blankly and nods.

"Yes, I've heard it's quite good," he responds, taking the rest of the vids from you and placing them on the floor.

You snigger at him and open the case. "Okay, but don't complain about it later, I did asked you."

Obi-Wan says nothing as you rise and walk over to your holo-vid player and slip in the tiny, plastic disc.

You press play and walk back over to sit next to Obi-Wan on the couch. As the movie starts, you snuggle up to him as he casually places an arm around you. You smile contently to yourself and wonder how in the universe you ever got this lucky.

As the movie plays you are both silent, watching as the characters dance and sing about love and about their dreams for a better life.

About half way through, you hear Obi-Wan make an exasperated-sounding noise and look up at him; his face is contorted into total confusion as well as slight disgust.

"Why did you buy this?" he asks you quietly, not looking down at you.

You laugh slightly and don't say anything. You continue just staring at him until he looks down at you and smiles that half-smile he's got.

"What?" he asks rather amusedly.

You smile and shake your head.

"Nothing." you say, turning back to watch the movie.

"Whatever you say, Princess," you hear him say as he places a soft kiss atop your head.

Your life just couldn't get any better than this.

THE END
