Chapter 2
The next day at lunchtime Obi-Wan had once again wondered out of the initiate room. Most of the masters didn't worry that the three year old was wandering the halls alone. They all knew of his destination. Qui-Gon Jinn's room.
The young boy didn't even have to look up at the nameplate anymore to know if he had the right room or not.
"Ky-Gin? You 'ere?"
"No Obi-Wan, Master Qui-Gon is not here." Xanatos answered, stepping out of his room.
"Where is him?"
"I'm not sure, he may be eating."
"Oh. Okay bye Antos."
"Bye kid."
Obi-Wan smiled at Qui-Gon's apprentice and then headed toward the cafeteria.
Half way there Obi-Wan heard voices and one of them was Qui-Gon's and the other the healer, Master Uri.
"Well Qui, I know the problem."
"What?"
"You're just getting old."
Qui-Gon laughed.
"Thanks just what I needed to be reminded of, my age."
Obi-Wan gasped. Qui-Gon was getting old? Like the bird in the gardens?
Suddenly Obi-Wan bolted around the corner and put a death grip on Qui-Gon's robe.
"Obi-Wan? What are you doing here?" The master picked the small boy up and noticed that he was crying.
"What's wrong? Did you get hurt?"
"No."
"Then what is it?"
Mater Uri was watching wondering the same thing his friend was.
"Master Uri said you get old. I don't want you to ded like the bird!"
Qui-Gon understood and Master Uri started to laugh. The other gave him an angry look for laughing at Obi-Wan.
"Obi-Wan, your afraid that master Qui-Gon is going to die because of his age?"
"Yea, cause Ky-Gin said that the bird was ded cause it's old."
"Obi-Wan, that bird was very old. A lot older then me."
"It was?"
"Yes. I'm going to be around for a long time. Just look at Master Yoda. He's really old, but not he's not dead yet."
Obi-Wan thought of it for a while.
"So you gonna be as old as Oda?"
"Maybe."
"O, okay Ky-Gin."
"Feel better?" Master Uri asked the young initiate.
"Yea, now I know Ky-Gon not ded for a while."
The two master's laughed and Qui-Gon took Obi-Wan to the cafeteria to eat.
As he Qui-Gon watched obi-Wan eat he made a mental note for himself.
'Never tell Obi-Wan you're old.'
