A/N If this one is extremely short, look at it this way: I posted twice in one day. I deserve to make it short, which I just did. Anyway, this one's pretty pointless, mostly dialogue. Just everyone goofing off in the beginning, the discussing things, and then… well, you'll see.

Obi-Wan relaxed against the wall, watching master and apprentice through half-open eyes. It had been four years since he had last had a vision of their future, five since he had started having them, but, to the obvious relief of the pair, he hadn't gone back to his usual solitary lifestyle after he was no longer needed in their lives.

It had been a while since he had seen them, having been on a mission to the Outer Rim for the past two months, and was glad to be home. Right now, Qui-Gon and Anakin were sparring with practice lightsabers.

"Gotcha!" cried Anakin gleefully as he disarmed his master. Qui-Gon grinned.

"I must be getting old if I can lose to a squirt like you," he teased.

"Oh, come off it," his Padawan scoffed. "Competing with me keeps you humble."

"You mean losing to you."

"Same difference."

"Well, my ego is certainly not the largest in the area."

"Hey, I deserve it! You can't say I'm not good!"

"Your ego should never exceed your miti-chlorians count," commented Obi-Wan from the wall. Both looked up, seeing him for the first time.

"Master Kenobi!" Anakin exclaimed, pulling the smaller man to his feet and hugging him. "You're back!"

"And I see you still haven't matured past eight, my friend," Obi-Wan retorted. Anakin just grinned as Qui-Gon came up to extend his own greeting.

"How was the mission?" he asked.

"As good as can be expected, considering where I was."

"You're alive," Anakin pointed out. "You can't say that's not good."

"Always keeping me optimistic," Obi-Wan laughed. "I suppose that is something to be grateful for."

"Did you find him?" asked Qui-Gon, lowering his voice automatically, although Anakin was too old to be left out of the conversation, and could hear perfectly, and nobody else was around.

"No," answered the other Jedi. "I asked everywhere for a bounty hunter who looks like the one I remember, and finally, I found one that had come to Coruscant recently for unknown reasons."

"Who was he?" demanded Anakin quickly, and the other two exchanged looks. They both knew that they had to stop the boy going to the Dark Side, and his protectiveness to the Senator before she was even present worried them.

"I don't know," Obi-Wan answered. "The man who told me claimed he didn't have the information, but he had full files on everyone else using his transport system. I convinced someone to start a bar fight…"

"Convinced?" demanded Qui-Gon sharply. "How?"

"With more credits than I should have. Anyway, I paid him to start a bar fight, and snuck back to look at his records. Unfortunately, while he had said earlier to have had a passenger of that description, there were no records of that man ever using the transport."

"He must have deleted them!" exclaimed Anakin. "What did he say when you asked him about it?"

"I didn't. To do that would have meant admitting I had looked at his records without permission. Either way, we know one thing. He's already here."

"And all we know about him is that he has a son named Boba, wears a large suit, and paid a changeling to kill Senator Amidala," mused Qui-Gon.

"Will pay," corrected Obi-Wan. "The senator isn't even here yet, but I believe the assassination attempt will happen as soon as she arrives."

"Which means we can stop it!" announced Anakin, obviously pleased with this.

"And catch whoever did… will do it," added Qui-Gon. "They have to be near to cause the explosion."

Obi-Wan nodded. "She…" but he paused in mid sentence, staring off into the distance.

"Obi-Wan?" asked Qui-Gon, looking concerned. His former apprentice turned and looked at him, blinking. "Another vision?"

"Yes."

"What is it?" asked Anakin, looking as worried as the adults.

"He's coming," whispered the Jedi.

"Who?" demanded the others in unison.

"Jar Jar Binks.

Couldn't resist the Jar Jar crack. Yes, he will be in it. I personally like him, so no, he won't die. Thanks to SWTKD, for reviewing. No, I didn't expect more reviews, since it's only been a few hours since I last checked. I really don't have a life.
