This wondrous story WILL end up living to the rating.

This story is dedicated and the original ideas were conceived by one of my friends. So, this is dedicated to you. Have fun reading it.

Oh, and everyone else, welcome. Enjoy the trip. From what I've written so far, it looks to be a good one.

I will try to update this regularly, maybe once a week. The next couple of weeks I'll be putting up as many as I can write. It's gonna be fun folks.

Disclaimer: I own none of the Star Wars people or images. Unfortunately, Lucas owns it.

Anakin watched on helplessly as the young padawans light their blades. He was too far away to be any real help. The Jedi lit her sword and moved forward slightly to cover the younglings beside her. The battle ensued fiercely, as a bounty hunter moved forward to take on the Jedi. At the last second the bounty hunter moved his aim away from the Jedi woman herself towards her padawan. Anakin wanted to cry out, he wanted to stop what was happening, but he couldn't. He flipped his aim and got the Jedi in a clean shot. The woman was cut across her chest, cleaving her in two.

Her padawan leapt forward, a young teen of around 13. She gave an awesome cry of pain letting down her high guard. The bounty hunter grabbed her up in one arm and threw her across his shoulder. Another padawan leapt forward, only this padawan was carrying a double sided old blade. She wielded the blade so it hit the bounty hunters left calf, making him drop the other girl. The master less padawan swung her lightsaber at the man as she fell, slicing him into two neat pieces. A master came up and whisked them both away.

Obi-Wan walked up to Anakin at his left shoulder. He spoke softly to his young apprentice. "This happened a month ago on the Outer Rim, and this hologram was the first we heard of it. The Jedi who died was a master of the old arts of dueling. Xiu-Juan I believe her name was. I don't know the apprentices name, but she is being tutored by the other padawans master."

Obi-Wan turned his young padawan to face him; the knights face a map of bitter sorrow. "I knew her well. She was in my classes when I studied at the Temple. She was a vicious fighter, often resorting to any means necessary to bring an opponent down. If this new threat could get to her, then I would hate to see it get to you."

Obi-Wan looked out of a window onto the industrious planet. Anakin kept staring at his back. "That padawan was about your age. I want you to be prepared for anything, but that isn't the reason I'm talking to you."

He turned to face Anakin, a look of concern etched on his face. "She survived because her friend was there to help her. You, on the other hand, have been making every effort to make enemies here. What's up?"

And the rest was history.

Just before the Clone Wars start and a certain Padawan does the forbidden deeds with a certain Senator; someone found the time to have a month break by himself. How he did this, no-one knows for sure. Let's just say he called in a favour to get a break. But unfortunately, life doesn't like breaks. Not even ones that help your sanity. So, as the Force as we know it is life, and the Jedi are ruled (loose sense of that word) by said Force, why aren't we all surprised that as payment for this glorious month he has to spend 3 weeks of it on a "working" holiday. Damn assignments! Don't you just wish they all went to hell.

Obi-Wan was feeling mighty pleased with himself. Anakin had a major examination coming up, the type which didn't need him to be there for, so he was taking a break away from it all. 'Maybe I'll go to Alderaan. Naboo? Nah, been there, done that. What about….. hmmm, this is a hard one!' As he silently tried to decide, leaning more towards Aldreraan than anywhere else at that second, Yoda walked up.

"Jedi Kenobi! Talk with you, I must."

Obi-Wan slowed down, his incredible mood fading as he did. He seriously wanted to go. He'd said his goodbyes, was packed and the ship (a luxury yacht by the way. Top of the line) was fueled and ready to move. "Jedi Kenobi, your skills I need. Special assignment for you, I have."

Obi-Wan fought off the groan he was so sorely tempted to voice.

"Jedi there is. Passed the test this former apprentice has. But skills are in need of refining, it has. Help refine these skills while you are on break you must."

"But Master I…."

"Take no for an answer, I will not. Already on your ship this Jedi is."

With that the little green man walked off, leaving Obi-Wan to silently fume.

'Good Jedi are at peace with the world. Good Jedi are calm. Good Jedi don't strangle Yoda.' The meditation obviously wasn't working.

Obi-Wan walked onto the ship to see a person at the flight controls. He walked up to the pilot seat and started to take off. He looked over at the Jedi next to him who was staying quiet, taking in this person's profile. At this angle he couldn't tell if the person was male or female. Their tunic covered any lumps across the chest he could have seen, and any hair was pulled up under a worn cap. He started to believe that this person was male. They took off without a sound being shared and stood to leave the cockpit. "Thank you for taking me Jedi Kenobi. I would have been lost without the guidance you are going to give me."

He stood in shock.

CLIFFHANGER!

Don't hate me, I had to do it.

Please review. If you do, I will read ALL of your stories. No joke! And I will review all of them just so you know I read them.

The next chapter will answer the cliffhanger and won't end on one. I promise. No matter how much I'm tempted, I will resist.

Review!
