May I just say that I like the fact that this has made the favorites list of 2 people and the alert of yet another. I like this very much. To my loyal reviewers, I extremely like your devotedness. It really helps me with putting up those chapters. This was written in the middle of exam week when I was feeling really dodgy. Imagine this hell, fevers from a cold which was invented by Satin himself at the same time as 6 exams in one week. Nuts to it all. So if it seems weird as anything it's probably the temperature and stress which helped frazzle out my already broken brain. But no more excuses. For my reviewers, your responses. But there is also a little tidbit in ButterCowLuvr's response which should clear up a mess which I knew was there, I just didn't know how serious. The question was 'How long has Keitha and Obi-Wan known each other' and so I have answered.

ButterCowLuvr: Computers, the dodgiest gift to man since fire. They're a blessing and a curse. My monitor is on the fritz so I understand the annoyance of not being able to read the first chapter again to get a point of reference. Keitha made her first appearance in the first chapter as the padawan whose master died in the hologram that Obi-Wan and Anakin were watching. He didn't know her then, and the hologram was vaguely identified as a couple of months old, making her around 4 years older than Anakin. She is first viewed by Kenobi in the end of the first chapter as they've just boarded the ship and names are exchanged in the beginning of the second chapter. They were on Alderaan for around 1 and a half weeks before the chapter 3 incident became a reality. I always thought that this would be a screwy point so I'm sorry that it wasn't very clear. Thank you for alerting me to it. And also, I'm very glad that you like it. KEEP READING!

obiisgod: Breath deeply. Be calm. It's alright. But seriously, I'm glad it made your day. I heard from a little birdie that you are yet to get the results of that fateful test and I never did ask if you did write that as the answer to those equations. By the way, you can only chain me up to be your little pet monkey if you can catch me, and now that I've said that I'm placing security guards around my house. Enjoy this next chapter and remember breathing is good. Remember to breath.

Reviews are good. I like a good review.

Obi-Wan didn't respond for moment simply because he couldn't. His mouth felt dry and he was numb all over his body save for his lips. Keitha broke away, eyes opening, viewing his gaping face. She moved as though to step away only to be stopped by his strong arms circling her body, holding her to him tightly. She looked up, suddenly unsure of what to do and what she had just done. He looked down, eyes examining her face as if he was viewing her for the first time. His mind had been a race of uncontrollable emotions before but now it was a blank page, ready for Keitha to write in. He knew subconsciously that he should be saying something about now, that it was his turn to make a move, either to advance or back away.

"Wow."

She looked up at him, an embarrassed smile forming on her lips. He couldn't resist making a little fun of the situation.

"So, I'd say from that that you like me too?"

She giggled at the almost out of character comment. He blushed. Suddenly she had a serious expression on her face. "What are we going to do?"

Obi-Wan got his sensibilities back fast and frowned. 'Before it was just an infatuation and it would be easy to forget but now, a kiss! What ARE we going to do?' His face lost its edge and an almost mock serious expression came to it, with a small smile.

"I'm not sure. Do we have to decide now?"

Keitha opened her mouth to respond when Obi-Wan's comlink beeped from on his belt between them, causing arms and bodies to go failing away from one another in a sea of confusion. Keitha managed to back away from him, causing whatever that was in the moment to be lost. Obi-Wan scowled at the offending comlink as he answered it.

"Yes?"

Anakin's voice came through strong and clear. "Master, you sound worked up. I thought that you left me to have some peace and quiet?"

Obi-Wan's scowl turned into an expression somewhere between worry and annoyance. "What have you done now, my young padawan?"

Anakin's voice came back in its pleasant drawl, serious this time though. "Master Yoda wishes us to go deal with a border dispute on Ansion. He said that it was a matter of great importance and that he is sorry that he has to disrupt your holiday. He also said to bring back Jedi Tanmarson to the temple. He said that he has an assignment of sorts for her."

Obi-Wan looked over at Keitha and resisted the sigh at the tip of his tongue.

"I will be back momentarily."

"I will see you then Master." With that the comlink was shut off. Obi-Wan looked at Keitha.

"We had better pack then."

Keitha looked around the small, cold, metal room on the ship that was taking herself and Obi-Wan back to Couruscaunt. She was almost glad that they had been called back early, but she was also annoyed beyond belief. Just as the trip was getting interesting, the Council in all of its wisdom, had decided it had need of Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice off to Ansion. And apparently it couldn't wait. So this was what was happening to them both, they were separating just as they had admitted to each other and themselves that they loved one another. She felt the ship shift into the cold oblivion that was hyperspace and smiled. Her friend who was her closest confidant and the person who she had spoken to all trip, had been on many adventures with her but there was one moment that stood out at that second of time. They had been on a planet in the Core when a middle aged smuggler had come up to them. The girls only had each other as company at that second of time in the space port cantina and this man had obviously had a bit to drink. He had swaggered up to them and leaned over their table, stopping their conversation mid sentence. He had managed to slur out a proposal guised as an innocent question.

"Have either of you two beautiful ladies ever had sex in hyperspace before?"

Keitha had responded as he had probably expected. She had blushed and let loose a slight giggle. But she was overshadowed by her friends totally in control response. Aithne had let loose a seductive smile and let some hair fall across some of her face, veiling her cheeks. She had then looked up from out of the hair, blue-grey eyes flashing slightly as though he had inconvenienced her and had told him with a very husky whisper, "If I had, it was with a far sexier man and you would never know."

With that, Keitha had blushed so red she looked like she had turned into that colour, literally. The man, give him his credit, knew that he was out of his dept and left immediately, issuing a drunken apology. Aithne was every bit an excellent actress.

Keitha blushed at the memory and thought about the comment carefully. She had the means and the opportunity. There was only one thing though, did she want to go down that path? Simple 'I love yous' were easier to forget, along with first kisses (although those were harder) but first times… That was a different kettle of fish. She tried to think about Aithne. What would she do in a time like this? The girl was like a sister to her, and a role model. Aithne never held back, tongue or actions.

Keitha looked at her cold bunk, her bed for tonight. This made up her mind. 'Regret is for latter. Tonight is all that truly matters.' She left her room for other quarters.

The line about 'sex in hyperspace' was from one the multiple books written after all the movies and was directed with Lukey boys current whatever Aknah (I didn't source it. Memory reliance). This was a comment which stuck with me over time because other than that comment Aknah was a pretty boring chick.

Review me and I will feel very happy.
