While Obi-Wan ran different scenarios in his head about what he would say to Qui-Gon Siri sat in the room of a Thousand Fountains where they had been the night before. She could hear the Jedi choir at another end of the large room. They were singing a song that reminded her of the relationship she had with Obi-Wan. "Seasons of Love" 525,600 minutes in a year. She had known Obi-Wan since she was about six years old. That was more then a million minutes. They challenged and tested each other through out the years both in lightsaber skills and their knowledge of the force. When they were by themselves in the training room they would have competitions to see who could Force push the other the farthest, most of the time they came out about even but it was fun. Although now she knew she wouldn't be doing Force pushes on him any time soon. She couldn't see and would have no idea where he was going to land, unless she caught him in mid air, but that was difficult to do. It was even difficult for the Jedi Masters to pull off.
"Siri." A familiar voice sounded.
"Obi-Wan, what are you doing here I thought you had to talk to Qui-Gon?"
"I did."
"And, what happened?"
"He said we should think about what we both want."
"What do you mean?"
"We both know that we can't have a normal relationship, its against the Jedi way. But there may be something we can have…a physical one. He tried it with Taul and was unsuccessful because they loved each other too much. So I guess the question becomes what do we do?"
Siri's mind felt as blank as her eyes. "We have to make a choice now?"
Tears glossed her empty eyes.
"Soon. Siri I love you I really do…but…I also love the Jedi, being a Jedi, helping people. I've always done it, I don't know if I can give that up, can you?"
"I don't know!" Siri was frustrated; she got up and started to walk away.
"Siri, where are you going? We have to talk about this, and now!"
"Obi, you've just thrown this in my face and you expect me to take it all in just like that? It doesn't work that way!"
"What we're doing is forbidden Siri! It could end both of our futures, do you really want that, do you want to waste your gift?"
"I'm going back to my room. And don't follow me, I'll know if you do."
Stressed out by everything Obi-Wan put his head in his hands and let out a deep sigh.
As Siri left Qui-Gon entered the Room of a Thousand Fountains.
"Siri, have you seen Obi-Wan?"
"Not lately…but he was over by the fountain." She continued on her way.
Qui-Gon found Obi-Wan where Siri said he was. He looked defeated.
"Padawan, why such a sad look?" He asked as he sat down next to him.
"My solution to the problem just blew up in my face. Siri was pretty upset about it."
"I though she would, but her face showed love still. Obi-Wan, you've lost the chance to nib this in the bud. Now you're going to need to bite it whole."
"You mean cut myself off from her? I don't think I can do that. I love her Master."
"No, I not saying you need to right now but you may have to later, you can give in Obi-Wan if you're willing to give up your life as a Jedi and the same will happen with Siri. This won't be allowed the council won't make an exception for just you two. We are to leave, the four of us, may I suggest patching things up before we take off." Qui-Gon got up off the ledge of the fountain and departed.
