A/N sorry about the shortness. Actually, without the random bits of everyone goofing off, it wouldn't even be worth posting. This one was fun to write, but just there to explain a few minor plot developments. Thanks to reviewers Satra, Child-of-Dawn, and Ellenlome. Also, I promise with the next chapter, I'll get back on track and actually have something of importance happen. Probably. I'm going to be having a birthday party later, followed by a sleepover so I'm not sure if I can post tomorrow. I'll try to go again today to make up for it. Just don't get your hopes up, because I'm not sure.
"Stop pacing, you're giving me a headache," ordered Qui-Gon, with nods of approval from Anakin.
"How can you be so calm?" ranted Obi-Wan impatiently.
"Because the Council's sorting it out," answered Anakin serenely. Obi-Wan looked at him in surprise. How different was this calm Anakin filled with faith for the Council than the hyper, mistrustful boy he had trained?
"What?" demanded the young Jedi, seeing that his friend was staring at him.
"Nothing, I was just noticing how silly you look with that hairstyle," retorted Obi-Wan.
"I do not!"
"Looked in a mirror lately?"
"Stop fighting, children," teased Qui-Gon good-naturedly.
"We're not children!"
"Yeah!"
"Put together, we're older than you are!"
"Yeah!"
"Are you mocking me?"
"Yeah!"
Qui-Gon sighed at his friends. "Obi-Wan, did you ever mature past four?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, now you're just trying to annoy us."
"Yeah!"
"Have you noticed how pathetic your life must be if entertainment is bugging your friends by saying 'yeah' to absolutely everything they say?" commented Anakin.
"Yeah!"
"Are you a girl?"
"That's not fair!"
"Yeah!" agreed Qui-Gon. Both stared at him. "Sorry."
The doors to the Council chamber swung open before the trio could annoy each other any more. Two Padawans exited, with the bounty hunter walking in front of them.
"His name is Jango Fett," commented Mace Windu, coming out behind them and stopping in front of the other three. "You were right, Kenobi, he has a son named Boba. He said something about clones, but we have yet to understand what that means."
"Begun, the Clone Wars have"
Obi-Wan glanced out the window at the armies of identical soldiers, and knew Yoda was right.
Obi-Wan started as then next vision came to him. He turned to Windu before his friends could ask what was wrong.
"There is something bad about these clones. They're on our side, but…"
"What?" asked Qui-Gon, before the Council member could ask anything.
"I don't know. Something about a war. I'm not certain what it means."
"Well, we've found something else out as well," put in Windu. "Fett lived on a far-off planet called Kamino."
"I'm sorry, Master Kenobi. If something is not in our Archives, then it does not exist."
"A planet that doesn't exist," murmured Obi-Wan.
"Go to the center of the gravity pull and find the planet, you will."
"Obi-Wan?"
The Jedi looked up at the three others staring at him. "Kamino has been wiped out of our Archives, and it isn't on any star charts the Jedi have access to. I went to Master Yoda for help, and he pointed out that it must have been erased, because there was a gravity pull where I knew it should be."
