The Watcher: Thanks for responding. Oh, and by the way, here's your
Anakin.
Note to all: Anything within asterisks (*) is supposed to be italicized. However, ff.n html tags annoy me to all heck, and I have given up on them, so we all have to live with this crude method.

Reunion
"I thank you for getting here this quickly. I am sorry if we have caused any inconveniences," Ki-Adi apologized to the two Jedi standing in the center of the chamber.
Siri nodded as she stood next to Anakin in the center of the chamber. Mentally, however, she frowned. Anakin's struggle to keep his anger under control was as visible to her as the calm expression on his face. She would have to keep an eye on him, lest he become a loose cannon, running around out of control.
"We have a situation," Ki-Adi announced. "The ex-Jedi Plo Koon has escaped from the temple, through the help of the Jedi Mace Windu, Yoda, and General Kenobi, who are no longer members of our order. The Council's opinion that these four ex-Jedi have turned to the dark side.
Siri's jaw dropped. *This made no sense at all! First Plo Koon, and now Mace, Yoda, and Obi-Wan?!* Siri suddenly feared what the Council would ask her to do next.
"The threat of four Sith with lightsaber is too much of a threat for us to leave to planetary defense forces. Therefore, we will be mobilizing the Jedi to hunt down, capture, and if need-be, kill these ex-Jedi," Ki-Adi announced. "We are asking you to help lead this hunt."
Siri's mind screamed for her to decline this offer, but she knew that she would eventually have to accept it. The good of the Republic outweighed all her personal desires.
Siri and Anakin nodded, prompting Ki-Adi to dismiss Siri and Anakin.
Siri did not know what to do. She knew in her heart that Obi-Wan would not turn to the dark side. He would sacrifice himself before doing that. But her mind told her that the only explanation for what Obi-Wan had done was that he was a Sith. As the war inside of her went on, she wandered in a daze, eventually ending up in a small lounge deep within the temple.
"Together again," Adi Galla interrupted Siri's thoughts. "Fate must really have it out for the universe."
"What?" Siri asked, confused.
"We're leading one of the parties during this Witch Hunt," Adi replied.
Suddenly understanding the joke, Siri smiled. Her old master always knew how to brighten the worst situation. This wasn't all bad. She didn't have to kill Obi-Wan, and there must be some logical explanation for what he did.
And, she was getting to spend time with an old friend.
"Old, am I?" Adi exclaimed indignantly. "I'll give you old!"
With that comment, Adi launched a pillow at Siri using the force. This assault erupted into a full fledged war, eventually leaving the two women laughing on the floor like initiates.
A pair of older initiates passed by the open door to the lounge, giving the two Jedi odd looks, which only caused the two women to begin another fit of laughter.
