[Hey, after I'm recovered form a full week of party, drinking and wearing a costume, I'm finally back. ^_^ ]


The time went by very slow and every minute seemed to be hours. But nobody came. Nobody came to look for them. Nobody came to give them something to eat or to drink.
Obi-Wan looked over to his master. His mentor had grown paler again and now slump more down the wall, he leaned on.
Instantly Obi-Wan gather the force round himself and sent healing waves to his master.
Qui-Gon shot him a sharp look. Obi-Wan winced inwardly and stopped the waves. "Forgive me, master," he whispered discouraged.

An unpleasantly silence laid between the two and Obi-Wan tried to think of a possibility to free them self. "Are you good in playing roles, master?", he asked after a while.

Qui-Gon thought for a moment. "I played in a show at the temple, when I was your age," he answered, retrospective.

"Really? Which role did you play?"

"Oh, no important," Qui-Gon tried to deviate.

"That means?" Obi-Wan tried again.

"The role of the dying virgin," he answered quietly.

Obi-Wan broke out in laughter. "You surely did a great job," he chuckled.

"Do you laugh at me?", Qui-Gon asked with a stern face.

"Uhm, uh, I...I'm sorry," Obi-Wan stuttered.

Now it was Qui-Gon's turn to chuckle. "It's alright," he said with a big grin on his face.

Suddenly a sound echoed in the corridor.

Obi-Wan leaped to his feet and moved next to the door. "Okay, how about, you do your `dying virgin` thing and I grasp the guard?", he whispered.

Qui-Gon nodded, laid himself flat on the floor and closed his eyes.

With a loud whoosh the door opened. A cloaked figure entered the room. As he saw the motionless figure of the Jedi master, he hurried to Qui-Gon's side.

Obi-Wan took the moment of distraction and ran toward the figure.

In the same instant, the cell was lit with a violet light and Obi-Wan was faced an activated lightsaber.

"Garen!", he called surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I were around here. So I thought come in for a visit...I'm rescuing your bottom. What do you think I'm doing here?", Garen answered, while turning of his lightsaber.

"How did you come in here?", Qui-Gon asked and set up.

With a cry, Garen jumped backward. "You- you're alive?!", he stuttered confused.

"Yes, looks like," Qui-Gon answered with an amused look on his face.

"He just played the scene of the `dying virgin`."

"Oh, you did quite well," Garen remarked relieved.

"Back to my question." Qui-Gon interrupted "How did you manage to get past the guards ?"

"Well, that's a long story!", Garen answered. "I will tell you on the flight back to the temple."

Obi-Wan helped his master stand up and steadied him. "Oh, by the way... Garen!"

Garen looked at him questioning. "Yes?"

"You cry like a girl!"
