George owns it all...not me. This is the point at the story where I became the primary writer. If you hate it...it's all me at this point. :)

Kenobi and I headed down the hall. I looked behind us and noticed that I was dripping a trail of water and he was dripping a trail of…whatever. I suddenly stopped…a large smile spreading across my face. Kenobi stopped and looked at me.

"What is it?"

"I just had an interesting idea…a very interesting idea."

Kenobi smiled. "Interesting as in…getting even with Domie interesting?"

"Exactly."

"I'm in. What do we need to do?"

"Well…for starters. You need to hit the showers. I can get by being wet…but that…stuff has to go."

Kenobi looked down at his tunic and at the trail that he had left behind on the carpet. "I guess you are right."

"You get cleaned up. I'll take care of Domie."

I watched as Kenobi left and walked back down the hall. This was going to be too easy. I walked towards he infirmary and caught up with Domie just as she was leaving. She looked shocked as she saw my dripping wet form.

"Domie…. look at this. Can you believe this? I can't believe he did it…actually I don't know how he did it."

"What are you talking about Nano?" Domie asked trying not to look too guilty.

"Kenobi! Look at what he did! Oh…when I get my hands on him!"

"Nano…you don't know that he..."

"DOMIE!" I interrupted. "Who else could it have been? It had to be him. But I'm going to get him. And you are going to help me."

"I am?" she asked.

"Yes…and I've got the perfect idea."

Fifteen minutes later we stood outside the men's shower staring at the door. I turned to Domie.

"You understand the plan? We both go in…grab the clothes and…"

"Run," she finished. "Run fast."

"Good. Let's go."

We glanced down the hall to make sure that nobody was coming and crossed the hall. I triggered the door release and waved Domie to go in first. She glanced reluctantly at me but I gestured more urgently. She sighed and rushed in. I hurried and sealed the door. I rushed back across the hall and grabbed my holo recorder and hid behind a plant. What followed was a very panicked Domie sprinting out of the bathroom clutching Kenobi's clothes being chased by a very shocked…and barely covered (thank goodness for towels) Kenobi. I only got about fifteen seconds of footage but it was enough. I love my work…I really do. As I let out a sigh of contentment I sprinted in the opposite direction.

After circling around the floor and checking with the computer, I found out that Domie had retreated back into her quarters. I put on my best look of innocence as I approached the room and found Kenobi (towel and all) standing guard outside her door.

"Aren't you chilly?" I asked.

He blushed and pointed at the door. "I am…but unfortunately…she has all my clothes."

I raised an eyebrow. "Really? That's odd. I'll tell you what. I'll go in and get your clothes if you promise to go back to your quarters."

He sighed as a younger padawan walked by and gave the two of us a strange look. "Okay. Just please hurry."

I smiled. "Keep your towel on."

He rolled his eyes as he walked away. I turned towards Domie's door and lightly touched the chime.

"Who is it?"

"It's Nano. Can I come in?"

The door opened and Domie looked around quickly and ushered me in.

"I though you said he would be in the shower!"

"You mean he wasn't?"

"NO! He was there…..just…with….none! NO CLOTHES! Nothing! down! I'll take care of it. Just give me his clothes…and his lightsaber and I'll return them to him."

"He already has his lightsaber."

I rolled my eyes and picked up the metal cylinder on his belt. "I meant THIS lightsaber."

Wow…I never though someone could turn that shade of red. Interesting. I walked out the door and returned the clothes to Kenobi…wow…two people who can turn that color.

"Soooo….I take it that this was your great idea."

"Yup"

"You managed to embarrass Domie."

"Yup"

"By having me sprint through half the temple half naked."

"Yup."

"Nano…how is that fair to me?"

"Kenobi…genius isn't fair. It just is."

I left him staring blankly back at me. I walked back to my quarters to clean up. Sometimes greatness is hard. But at least it's fun.

That night I started to dream. At first everything was just black. However, I soon found myself on the same desolate planet. The wind whipped around me and in the distance heard sobbing. I turned slowly trying to see who it was that was crying. I couldn't see anyone. It was at that moment I realized I wasn't wearing my usual training robes. I was wearing a simple white dress. My feet were bare and they felt wet. I looked down to see a small pool at my feet. The pool was growing wider and wider as I watched it. I squinted, my eyes and in the surreal landscape could barely make out the reddish color of the liquid. Blood!

I awoke with a start. Swat was dripping down my forehead. I got out of bed and walked down the hall to one of the bathrooms. I splashed water on my face and breathed deeply as the cool liquid ran down my cheek and dripped off my chin. I looked at my face in the mirror. I examined my flushed cheeks and the dark circles forming under my eyes. How could I look so old and so young at the same time? As I rinsed off my face again, I raised my head and examined those circles once again. They betrayed me and spoke of my need for sleep. I knew however, that I would not be getting any more rest tonight. I walked slowly back to my quarters and tried to figure out what time it was. It wasn't until I got back to my room and looked at the chrono that I realized morning was still a good five hours away. I dressed and contemplated what to do. Well, I had promised myself a good drink back on Lohen. I slipped back out of my room quietly and made my way towards one of the lesser-known Temple exits.

Once out of the Temple, I reveled in the cool night air. As I made my way towards my destination, I thought about all the other Padawans back at the Temple. They would be fast asleep, enjoying some much needed rest. I felt a momentary twinge of jealousy, I really needed some sleep. This quickly subsided though because I loved Coruscant at night! The people scuttling to and fro even in the middle of the night, the lights trying to lure people into various establishments, the transports lined up along the lanes, they made me feel rejuvenated. Some people felt at peace in the untouched wilderness of some uninhabited planet. But this was my wilderness, this was were I was at peace. Give me a jungle of durasteel and I am happy beyond belief.

Twenty minutes later I was sitting in my favorite little establishment drinking something that would make Yoda frown and Siron furious. As I sipped on my drink, I watched the various creatures in the room. I had always loved to people watch and I marveled at how much emotion one could see in a given day, if they look close enough that is. There was a couple in a dark corner that seemed to be displaying a genuine "affection" for each other. There was also a gentleman near the door, pilot by the look of him, who seemed very unhappy. I found myself drawn to him and I sat contemplating why he looked so sad. Had he lost a friend? Or maybe a family member? Or even a lover? These questions consumed me. A familiar voice rocked me out of my thoughts though.

"Is this seat taken?"

I looked up to se Master Qui-gon Jinn pointing to the seat across from me. I shook my head no as I thought to myself, "It had been a good life…I don't think I'll have any regrets when Siron kills me." Then I remembered what had happened to Kenobi only a few short hours ago and thought, "Maybe I'm wrong, maybe Master Qui-gon will kill

me." As these thoughts racked my brain, the Jedi master made himself comfortable in the chair across from me. A waiter scurried over to take his order. Before I could say anything he had said, "I'll have what she's having." The waiter fled back into the shadows before I could correct the Jedi Master. Something told me that he didn't in fact want what I was having. It was at this point that I realized my mouth was still open. I took a sip of my drink that set it down gently. Master Jinn glanced casually around the establishment with a look of serenity. Finally, his eyes settled on me.

"A little late to be out, isn't it?" he asked.

"I was having trouble sleeping. I needed some fresh air." I replied.

"Oh…is that what this drink is called?" he asked as the waiter reappeared with a glass for the Jedi Master. He thanked the man and took a large sip. His eyes bulged out dramatically and he had almost dropped the glass back on the table when the coughing began. He barely managed to swallow the concoction. When he had regained control of his senses he stared at me.

"What is in that THING?"

"Do you really want to know?"

He eyed me for a moment before replying. "No, I don't imagine I do. So tell me Nano, why the trouble sleeping?"

"Nightmares."

"Were they bad?"

"Yup"

"And you couldn't get back to sleep?"

"Nope"

"So you went for a walk and ended up here?"

"Yup"

"And you are going to answer every question I ask with a one word answer?"

"Yup"

He stared at me for a moment. Then a slow smile spread across his face.

"Nano, has anyone ever informed you that you are unlike any other Padawan at the Temple."

I pretended to ponder the question for a moment and then replied, "Actually, I hear it pretty much everyday."

He looked surprised, "Really?"

"Sometimes twice a day."

"Twice a day?"

"Yup."

"Remarkable"

"I know"

"So…did you ever get my Padawan's clothes back for him?"

I finished the rest of my drink and looked the Jedi Master in the eye.

"Yes, yes I did."

"Good, I'm glad to hear it. The boy looses the strangest things," the older man stated with a twinkle in his eye.

I smiled, "He looses his clothes often then?"

"Oh yes, he's quite the little nudist," the Jedi Master explained with a deadpan expression.

The whole situation was too much for me. I started laughing. Qui-gon joined in and neither of us stopped until we had tears streaming from our eyes. Over at their table, the affectionate couple had stopped kissing long enough to watch in amazement. Two Jedi were laughing hysterically! In a seedy bar! In the middle of the night! Only on Coruscant!
