Over tea and cookie crumbs
"Anakin, did I ever tell you that I was once one of the Jedi order?" Tara said once in her rooms. She grinned, anticipating his response. She had gotten out of the dress and come back in wide tan pants and a navy blue silk shirt.
"No, but Master did say that today, an old friend was coming to visit him." Anakin said, smiling in response, acknowledging the evil glint in her eye.
"Yes, this is all very well, but I think really, Tara, you should teach him some of your skills so that he may improve upon. After all, you did beat me this afternoon." Obi-wan said, blushing slightly at the thought.
"So you were the one, my lady, who beat a very formidable man. I congratulate you." Anakin said, laughing, trying to imagine what had happened.
"Well, I hadn't sparred with someone in a decade and I wanted to see how rusty my skills were." Tara said, innocently.
"SURE they were rusty, Tara, but I haven't had anybody beat me in a practice spar in so long a time."
"That reminds me, Anta! Please cancel all of Wednesday's plans, because I have a meeting with the Jedi masters and some things to teach with these absolutely charming gentlemen. Now, please, continue on with what you were saying." She said as if this weren't a heavy matter to talk about.
"W-w-well, that was very nice of you." Obi-wan said, startled that she would be so brash as to do something like that with her time.
"Oh, the poor Master can't speak? Don't worry, there wasn't that much going on anyway. By the force, you have gotten stiff and, well, I think I can bring that pride down a notch." Tara said, laughing a golden laugh that could rival even a goddess's.
Anakin laughed at this and so did his master, eventually. They, laughed some more and then left for the evening, saying that he would pick her up at 8:30, tomorrow morning.
Tara
Well, I can teach and do whatever else that has been requested of me on Wednesday. It seems like a day off of some sort, but no matter. I'll just have to take it as it comes. That reminds me, I must dig out all of my other clothes; the formal wear and such will be the death of me, but I AM a Senator. Oh I do wish Padme were here, she'd know exactly what to do. I know, I'll just wear the pale yellow dress with billowing sleeves, a burgundy overcoat with a gold hem, and I'll wear that chain that he gave me when I said I was leaving the order. Well, I must prepare for a long day ahead.
Obi-wan
I cannot believe she questioned my pride, but I forgot, she can be like that sometimes. She and Ani seem to be getting along just fine. Stiff? What does she mean by stiff? Oh, I'll find out eventually because tomorrow will be a very long day. And she cancelled all of tomorrow for me and everything else on top of everything else, I will never understand her. An ordinary woman would be easy to handle, but why is her that I'm stuck with; a woman of extreme skill and intelligence. Well, I really must get back to mentally kicking myself over all of this.
Anakin
Well, she is my type of person for a close friend. I think Master is lucky to have such a good person for a friend. Tomorrow, I suppose, will be a very long and strenuous day for me, being as it is that I am still a padawan. Wait, what planet is Tara from? Naboo did she say? I think I'll ask about Padme when I have the chance to. Yes, we'll get along quite fine, her and me.
