Note: Is anybody reading this? If no one if then I'll just stop posting
here. I'm just curious to know if even one person is reading this. Is the
story really that bad? *sighs and shrugs* nevertheless here's yet another
chapter. Enjoy to whomever may be reading this.
Part 7
"We're entering hyperspace now." Anakin said to his Master Qui-Gon Jinn as all the stars suddenly became a blur around them. He put the ship into autopilot and followed his Master out of the cockpit and into the common area of the ship.
Obi-Wan, who was sitting on the couch playing what looked like a game on his data pad, looked up at the two as they entered the room. "Are we in hyperspace now?" He asked.
"Yes, we are. It'll be about three days before to reach Calibo." Qui-Gon informed him as he took a seat on the couch next to him.
Taris sat in a car in the corner of the room watching all three of them. The foreboding feeling that she had felt earlier had since gone away, but she knew that it would soon come back. She glanced down at the puzzle that was sitting in her lap and sighed as she looked at it. She'd been doing it for a while now, but there were so many little pieces and she couldn't concentrate very well. She still had a lot of things on her mind.
Anakin watched Taris as she played around with a few pieces to the puzzle. She looked distracted and didn't look like she was paying much attention to the puzzle she was doing. She was levitating several of the pieces in the air around her as she tried to figure out where the one in her hand went. After a few more moments he walked over to her and sat on the air of the chair. "It goes right there." He said pointing to the spot where the piece fit perfectly.
"Thanks." Taris mumbled as she placed the piece in the spot.
Anakin watched her face closely as she picked up another piece and scowled at it. "Are you ok?" He asked after hesitating for a second.
Taris stopped what she was doing and looked up at him. Anakin was her best friend and she knew that she could tell him anything, but in this case she didn't even know what to say. What would she tell him? "Yeah, I'm fine."
"You don't seem fine to me. You're not acting like yourself." Anakin said softly as he stared into her eyes. By now he was well aware that both of their Masters had stopped talking and were quietly listening to the two, although they appeared like they weren't paying attention to them.
"It's nothing Anakin. I'm fine." Taris sighed as she stared back into his blue eyes. She managed a soft smile that seemed to light up the dimly lit room. "Really I'm fine. Don't worry about it."
Anakin opened his mouth and looked as if he were about to argue with her, but then he snapped his mouth shut and gave her a firm, tight smile. "Ok. Do you want some help with that?"
"Sure." Taris replied as Anakin took a few pieces and quickly put them into place. "Show off."
Anakin grinned at her. "No, I've just done this puzzle before. It took me a while to do it the first time I did it."
"So what do you think of this mission?" Taris asked as she put yet another piece into place. "Do you think it will be an easy one?"
Anakin looked as if he were in deep thought before responding. "Well, yeah. It seems easy enough, but then again we all know how some of the easiest missions turn into the hardest, longest, and most dangerous ones. I'm hoping that it's not too easy and that we'll get some action and excitement. Maybe even a little adventure."
"Jedi should not seek excitement and adventure. It is not the Jedi way Ani. Don't you want it to be peaceful and calm?" Taris asked without looking up at him.
"Yes and no. I do want it to be peaceful and calm, but not so peaceful and calm that it is boring. I feel though that something major is going to happen while we're on Calibo though. I sense that this mission won't be as easy as it seems and that it may be a long one." Anakin replied in all seriousness.
Taris shook her head and chuckled. "You get bored too easily Ani." She quickly sobered and continued. "But I too feel the same way about this mission. Something awaits us there and I'm not sure as to what it is and if I even really want to find out."
Anakin nodded in agreement and stayed silent while he helped her finish her puzzle. He didn't know what else to say and Taris didn't seem like she was in the mood to talk. He glanced over at Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan who were quietly having a conversation of their own on the couch. He had to smile because for in that instant Obi-Wan reminded him of the same Padawan Learner whom he had met six years earlier and Qui-Gon reminded him of exactly how he'd been six years before hand also.

Obi-Wan silently sighed as he opened his eyes and turned toward his Padawan. The room was dark, but it only took his eyes a few moments to adjust and he could see Taris. She had been tossing and turning ever since everyone had decided to retire for the night and still had yet to fall asleep. He'd been listening to her turn over for well over an hour now and through the force he could feel her restlessness. He knew for a fact though that his Padawan was, indeed, tired but couldn't sleep for whatever reason. "Taris?" He asked.
Taris stopped moving and turned to face her master. She hadn't realized that he was still awake and was a little surprised upon hearing his voice. She began to wonder if she'd kept him awake. Their quarters on the ship were small and there were only two sleeping quarters so Qui-Gon and Anakin took one while she and Obi-Wan took the other. The rooms were small though and the two sleep couches were practically on top of each other. "Yes Master?" She answered groggily. She was tired but just couldn't find, or rather reach, her calm center and go to sleep.
"Is everything ok?" Obi-Wan caught her eye for a quick moment before she looked away.
"Yes Master." Taris replied. She knew that Jedi were not allowed to lie, but technically nothing was wrong. Yet. She wasn't really lying to him.
"Are you sure?" Obi-Wan prodded a little farther. He knew that something was wrong and his Padawan had not told him the whole truth and he was hoping that she would tell him what had been bothering her.
"Yes. I just can't seem to be able to fall asleep. I'm sorry if I've kept you awake Master. I'll try to be still if you would like me too." She again skirted around the fact that she had a foreboding feeling about the mission that kept getting stronger and worse. There was no need to worry her Master just yet or get him thinking so much to the point where he couldn't sleep either.
"It's alright Taris." Obi-Wan said gently as he reached out and placed his hand on her head sending her force suggested sleep. "Goodnight Taris."
"G'night Master." Taris barely managed to mumble before she fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.
Obi-Wan sighed as he watched his Padawan's peaceful face while she slept. He began to wonder why she didn't want to tell him what was wrong and what'd been bothering her for the past few days. He frowned as he thought about it some more. Taris always told him what was wrong and/or or what was bothering her, but why wouldn't she tell him what it was this time? After a few thinking about what his Padawan could possibly not want to tell him he willed himself to sleep in hopes that his Padawan would perhaps tell him in the morning.
I want to thank BlueSkye for the f/b! So thank you! It's greatly appreciated and I hope that you continue to enjoy/like my story.
