ONE MONTH LATER

The Jedi temple toward majestically above most of the buildings near it, a marvelous piece of architecture framed by the setting sun. On one of the balconies in the residential wing a young Jedi knight sat on a plane bench enjoying the view of the sinking sun. His padawan was asleep with his head on the young Jedi's lap, exhausted after a long saber practice.

Obi-Wan closed his eyes and let the cool breeze swish its way through his hair, which had started to grow rather long. Once again he had given himself over to musings about what had been happening for the last couple of months or so in his life.

He reached out to his apprentice through their bond to find him in a lighter but still peaceful dozing state. Things had definitely been better between them. Of course their relationship was still rather tense at times but he had finally given himself over to their bond and allowed Anakin into his life.

The boy's future might be clouded but as Yoda would say "Always in motion, the future is." And Qui-Gon had always told him that he should never dwell on the future at the expense of the moment. Also, what use was it thinking about what his life could have been when it this was his reality and he couldn't change that. And surely Anakin wasn't the worst case. The boy was caring, kind, and though prone to boyish mischief, was eager to learn. Well not that his History classes inspired him but he enjoyed lightsaber training...

"Master?"

Obi-Wan opened his eyes and looked down regarding his padawan with an amused look "Yes, Padawan?"

"How long have been asleep?"

"Long enough but more precisely an hour" Obi-Wan replied with a small grin.

Anakin sat up, actually jumped up would be a better description, and almost toppled off of the bench.

Obi-Wan couldn't help but laugh. The padawan looked at him with a pouting look. "I'm hungry" he finally stated.

"Yes it's about dinner time" Obi-Wan agreed. "Would you like to eat here tonight?"

Anakin looked suspicious. "Are you gonna be cooking?"

Obi-Wan couldn't help but grin at the apprehensive look on his padawan's face. During his recovery Anakin had had to bear with Obi-Wan's cooking for a few days and had come to understand why his master preferred to eat in the Dinning Hall.

"No, I suppose we'll be better off ordering out."

"Ooh! Can I order? Can I?"

"I don't know can you?" Obi-Wan teased.

Anakin threw Obi-Wan an annoyed look but decided to follow a more agreeable path rather then argue. "May I, Master? Please!"

"Alright then" Obi-Wan complied "As long as you order something EXCEPT for desert. Anakin! Keep the sweets to a minimum!" Obi-Wan called after Anakin who was already disappearing into the apartment. A fit of giggles floated out from inside the apartment. 'Anakin I'm serious!"

Silence.

"Kids, how in the galaxy do people handle them?" Obi-Wan muttered to himself as he got up and proceeded to follow Anakin inside.

"When I first held you I was cold
A melting snowman I was told
That there was no one there to hold
Before, I swore, that I would be alone forever more

Oh, wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day and I'm glad you feel the same
Cos to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Let's watch the flowers grow

There is no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It's just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
And I am here to help you with the load

So now we're here and now is fine
So far away from there and there is time, time, time
To plant new seeds and watch them grow
So there'll be flowers in the window when we go"
