I won't bore those that were actually interested in the fic with mindless prattle… the one that reviewed at any rate. Thanks Layren…no, I'm not quitting… I feel guilty for not posting though so sorry about the wait. Updating is not my speciality so forgive me for being so late.

The room they were given was very spacious. Obi-Wan threw his small bag onto one of the beds. It seemed late to Obi-Wan. It was only eight PM. He hadn't slept well the night before. When he had finally gotten to sleep he'd had nightmares. Then he had slept late.

"Would you like anything?" Yoona asked staring at Obi-Wan.

"No thank you Yoona. We'll see you in the morning at 9. Good night" Qui-Gon was highly irritated. Not only was his apprentice distracted, a female was distracting him!

"Obi-Wan."

"Hmmm."

"You'll have to forget about it."

"What?" Obi-Wan asked innocently.

"Yoona of course."

"Why?"

"Because after this mission you'll never see her again."

"Yes Master"

"Now, go and wash then get ready for bed. Tomorrows peace conference will take most of the day so you want to be alert."

"Yes master."

Qui-Gon could tell Obi-Wan hadn't heard a word. He was too lost in his thoughts.

"Now Obi-Wan."

"What?"

Qui-Gon sighed. "Go and have a shower!"

"What? Ohh okay"

'This will be a long conference.'

** ** ** ** ** ** **

Obi-Wan yawned. He tried to stop it but instead yawned again. He'd had more nightmares. The Jedi masters had always said that dreams could sometimes hold great meaning and that other times they were meaningless.

"Shush!" One of the delegates hissed.

"Sorry", Obi-Wan said sheepishly. The ripple he had felt earlier was stronger now. Qui-Gon had said that it was probably the delegates' hatred for each other. But Obi-Wan wasn't so sure.

He retreated into the force. Judging by the way that things were going in the conference he wouldn't miss much. He threw his mind into the blinding light that signified the light side.

As he searched, advice that had been drilled into him by Qui-Gon and Master Yoda came to mind unbidden. 'The future is not always the same as you see it. Look to the future and see what you can prevent.' 'Be mindful of the living force my young padawan.'

Obi-Wan became lost completely in his thoughts and stopped being aware of anything else. Much to the disapproval of his master.

Finally he came to what he was looking for. Himself and his master. But what he saw was confusing. As master Yoda would have put it 'cloudy'. There was the flash of light sabers, stars rushing past, a great vacuum, blaster bolts and a broken circle. Which could only mean one thing. And it wasn't good.

** ** ** ** ** ** **

Qui-Gon stood up, saying a brief farewell to the leaving delegates.

"I'll go and get a speeder ready" Yoona said and headed towards the door.

"I think Obi-Wan and I will walk back Yoona. Wait outside for us please." Yoona nodded and walked out of the room.

'She tries so hard to please us, just a little bit to enthusiastic though'.

Qui-Gon looked over at Obi-Wan and shook his head. He strode over to stand next to Obi-Wan and waved a hand in front of his face.

"Hello in there, anybody home?" Qui-Gon chuckled then turned serious. He grasped Obi-Wans shoulders and shook his daydreaming padawan.

Obi-Wan jumped up and broke out into a sweat. He whirled around, startled.

"Obi-Wan! What's wrong?"

"Xanatos!"

"What!?!" Qui-Gon was confused by both Obi-Wans reaction and outburst."

"Do you remember that ripple we felt yesterday and then again earlier?"

"Yes"

"I looked to find out what it was and I found..."

"What?"

"I saw light sabers and stars and a broken ring."

"Might I remind you that you shouldn't have been looking at all?"

"Sorry master,"

"Luckily none of the delegates noticed, although I noticed Yoona couldn't take her eyes off you. However the information might prove useful. Come on now Obi-Wan, Yoona is waiting for us, she still insists that she has to be with us at all times because she has been assigned to look after us."

Obi-Wan smiled

"Don't get any ideas Obi-Wan"

"What could I possibly be thinking about master?" Obi-Wan asked innocently

"Personally, I dread to think."
