Disclaimer: George owns all these characters, except for a couple who will be joining us in later chapters should you wish me to continue ;) I make no money out of this, and normally prefer reading Fanfics as opposed to writing them, I'm only 14, but have been writing since before I can remember... AWWWW!

Summary: Obi-Wan and Anakin are trapped on a hostile planet whose people do not welcome strangers... Anakin is(19ish)

extras: I'll continue this only if you guys want me to, go easy on me as I'm only 14 for cryin out loud! I live in cold, cold, COOOLD England, and as I'm writing this we are having quitea thunder storm outside!

Just for the record, this is completley non-slash! as Iget soooooo uncomfortable reading and writing things like that. I hope you like it!


"Are you alright"
"I'll live"
Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi pulled himself free of the vehicle wreckage, he knelt on the ground for a few brief moments, in effort to catch his breath, he turned to face his companion; Anakin Skywalker, who seemed to be struggling a fair bit more.
"Are you sure you don't need any help Padawan?"Obi-Wan asked, with slight amusement,in between breathlessgasps.
"I told you, I'm-"Anakin was cut off, as part of the hull disintegrated beneath him, he collapsed, without much finesse, onto the soft, forest floor.
"-fine" He finished. Smiling to himself,Obi-Wan stood, and helpeddrag Anakinto his feet, they brushed themselves off, though dust and dirt still clung to their skin and hair.Anakindrew in on the force, gathering it around him like a protective shield,reaching out trying toget a vague idea of where they were.He tugged at his sweat soaked tunic, hoping to cool himself, he hadbeen born and raised on the blisteringly hot desert planet of Tatooine, he was used to the heat, but this, damp, muggy, sticky humidity that passed as an excuse for warmth, was something he was rather unaccostomed to.He heard the crunch and clank of metal,and Anakin about-faced.His Master wasbusying himself with examining the wreckage of the transport that was to take them to their destination. Hisstruggle was becomingapparent.
"This is no use to us."Obi-Wan sat, leaning by the transport, or what was left of it, his brow furrowed with frustration. He battled the feeling within him, emotions such as frustration, anger, and impatience, were very unbecoming of a Jedi, and not very useful in their current situation.

"I think we should go Master" Obi-Wan turned his head to face his Padawan.
"Go, where Padawan?"
"Anywhere, somewhere a little more open, where we can be seen."
"There is a much higher chance of us being found by our ship Anakin, plus, the further we go, the higher the risk of us getting lost."Obi-Wan paused, "I don't think the jungle has much mercy for any foolish wanderers. Let go of your impatience my young apprentice and focus on the task at hand." Anakin shuffled uncomfortably, partly to the heat, and partly to the embarrasment of being reprimanded like a first year student.

"Which is what exactly master?" Anakin asked defiantley.

"Discoveringwhat the task at hand actuallyis." Obi-Wan said with a small smile. Fascinated, how Obi-Wancouldfind some humour to fallback on at a timelike this,Anakin slumped down beside the older man, who spoke again, but in a much quieter tone.

"You still have them"
Anakinnodded, reached a hand inside his inner pocket, and drew out a small packet, satisfied,Obi-Wan gave a curt nod andhis apprenticereplaced the packet. The Jedi had been on their way to Caversa, a distant planetway off in the farthest territories of the outer rim, carrying with them, a package ofhighly confidential dispatches tothe Caversian government, Caversa had been locked in a 50 year conflict with the neighbouring system Derrus 4, and the dispatches contained orders if a cease fire that was to be 'promptly' delivered to the President of Caversa, the Jedi had been requested for this mission, as it was seen best if the orders were delievered from a neutral faction. However, Anakin mused, things never seemed to go to plan where himelf and Obi-Wan were involved.

Obi-Wan stood abruptly, surprising his padawan.

"I saw a series of small rock pools when we were flying over here, maybe a couple of kilometres south of us, we should make our way there, if the water's clean, we can restock."Anakin agreed, and decided not to challenge the fact that only a few moments ago had his teacher just dismissed the idea of 'wandering'.
The journey was long, hot and tiring, though a long trek through nonnegotiable terrain was nothing new to the pair, the heat was merciless, and beat down on them like a raging fire,Anakin felt as if his head would split open like an over-ripe tomatoe. A hundred or so meters on,Obi-Wan raised a hand,Anakin stopped behind him, somewhere, the sound of gushing water erupted from the dark, damp, humid wilderness. They carried on, in the direction of the sound, until they were stopped by a very large, very conspicuous wall of rock, they moved along it, slowly, stopping only when their path was blocked by a large weeping willow, it's long, graceful vines covering a small archway in the rock, after a quick glance back at his curious pupil,Obi-Wan carefully pushed the long, swinging vines of the tree to one side, and eased himself underneath the archway, close behind him,Anakin did the same. The wall of rock now surrounded them, enclosing them in a large, open air cavern, wide and silent, the only noise, being the sound of their heavy breathing, and the soft trickling of the shockingly blue water in the large pool that lay before them, ahead of them, on the opposite shore of the pool, the rock face was heavily indented, and stretched up to maybe ten metres,Obi-Wan guessed that if they wanted to, they could probably climb it. He jumped when his young companion's voice sounded behind him.

"Wow," The boy was awe-struck, andObi-Wan couldn't help but smile at the strange dumbfounded look on his face,Anakin walked forward, gazing about himself, to the water's edge.

"This is amazing, it's so, peaceful, but it's not, something's, I don't know, 'buzzing' here, an energy." He turned to face his master, who stood under the shade of the rock wall, arms folded across his chest, looking, as always, incredibly pensive, and suddenlyAnakin felt slightly embarrassed at his rather profound outburst.
"I don't know, it's hard to explain."Obi-Wan took a step forward so he was standing beside his padawan.

"The force is unusually strong here, It's almost...overwhelming." He turned, and flashedAnakin a rare grin. "I didn't actually know you were capable of such depth of thought though Padawan," He teased. "I'm impressed." He chuckled to himself. "But I do know what you mean, I've never seen anything quitelike this before." He said, indicating their surroundings. There was a moment of companionable, reflective silence, only broken whenAnakin let out a short laugh.

"Oh well, I guess I learnt from the best didn't I, you are, after all,the conecer when it comes to 'depth of thought'".Obi-Wan laughed at the playful jibe and clappedAnakin's shoulder.

"But unlike you, my young friend, I have an unbelievable amount of talent, depth, and brain power. Plus I think only about very, very important things anyway." Again, more laughter shared, followed by yet more silence. After a few moments,Anakin bent down and felt the water with his hand, took a small sample of it and placed it in an analysis tube from his pack, when he was completely satisfied that the water was safe, he took out his water bottle and filled it to the brim, before closing it and rocking back on his heels.Obi-Wan did the same, but stood upright and returned to the shade of the rock face. Anakin stayed crouched over by the waters edge, his master was correct, the force was incredibly strong here, and he enjoyed the feeling of ease that came with it, he felt completley calm, in control, at peace, words that niether he or his master often associated with him. It was thenhe felt something, almost like the touch of a cold breeze on the back of his neck, filling him and rising within him, cautioning him to something, he acknowledged the warning in the force, and stood carefully. He could feel his master's questioning gaze on his back, but he didn't turn, he wanted to be sure, part of him wanted to ignore it, after all, if he had felt it, yet Master Obi-Wan had not, surely it was just his anxieties playing on him,or a tremor of distant trouble, his mind was hardlyever in the present, so that could be a worthy assumption, it was also probably what his master would say. There, he felt it again, stronger this time, a presence, not dangerous, not yet, he didn't think so anyway, he closed his eyes and reached out through the force, yes, there was defiantley someone there, but among other things, he could sense his master's own unease.

"Padawan, what is it?"

He didn't answer, he wanted to be sure, he opened his eyes again, and let them wander the cavern, there was nothing, but he felt it, he was sure.

"Anakin." His master's voice startled him, he turned his head to face Obi-Wan.

"Master, I think we are being watched."
