Leila turned and wandered off and didn't notice the eyes of the Youngling following her. At last she returned to her father.
"Did you find me someone?" asked Qui-Gon.
Leila nodded. "Obi Wan."
"Obi Wan?" Qui-Gon stood. "Which one is he?" He studied the serious looking boy that Leila pointed out. He looked at her. "That's a good choice."
Mace scooped Leila up. "Come. Let's go show Master Yoda your lightsaber."
"Are you going to chose him?" asked Leila over Mace's shoulder.
Qui-Gon nodded. "I am."
Fifteen years passed. Leila excelled as Yoda's Padawan and achieved the rank of apprentice at fourteen. When she turned eighteen, she took the Jedi tests and passed into Knighthood. She was the youngest Knight that could be found in the history of the Jedi.
Obi Wan Kneobi became her Father's new Padawan. And he and Leila grew up together. They fought worse than other brother and sister and it amazed Qui-Gon at how good of friends they became. One was rarely without the other's company. Obi Wan was a very serious child, Qui-Gon discovered. And so he remained, even when he achieved the rank of Knighthood. But whenever Leila was around, a smile was in Obi Wan's serious eyes and he smiled and laughed a good deal more.
