Chapter 5

They had finally landed, though a few hours later then Boba Fett had estimated. Obi-Wan was the first to dismount the ship as the others followed suit.
He looked around, amazed at all the sights and sounds that he was experiencing for the first time.
The busy streets were filled with hundreds upon hundreds of different species and humans alike. A frenzy of languages roared through the air as everyone scrambled around the streets.
Obi-Wan was mesmerized by the sight of it all.
Suddenly, he felt an armor covered hand slap his right shoulder. He turned around to see Boba Fett proudly bearing his armor, sans the helmet. "We'll have to report to Maul in the morning, we'll be able to get our orders from him." He said.
Obi-Wan's jaw visibly clenched at the mention of Darth Maul and that made Boba Fett laugh in amusement.
"In the meantime though, why don't you and I have some fun?" He smiled, slapping his friend's back again in a friendly manner. "Come on Kenobi, since the protocol droids are taking our gear to the high-rise we'll be staying in, what do you say to you and me giving the local Cantina a visit?" He proposed. "You know how much you like getting drunk, heck maybe we'll even play a game of Pazaak."
Obi-Wan shook his head almost unconsciously, his eyes making it clear that he was mind was planets away as he stared at the rising sun, taking in every sight before him.
"I think I'll just-" He began to say but Boba Fett cut him off with a slight shove. "Come on Kenobi! I'll even let you win a few rounds and there's also the part with the drinks and the drunken stupor." He tried to bargain upon seeing his friend's doubtful expression.
A few seconds passed as Obi-Wan considered the offer.
Finally, Obi-Wan came out of his musings and turned to his friend, shaking his head slightly.
"No. Go, enjoy. I'll be fine here, go on without me." His gaze soon left his friend as his attention once again fell to everything going on around him. Now usually, he wouldn't pass up an opportunity to relax in a Cantina with his old friend, but there was just something about this place that was calling out to him. There was just something about this place that intrigued him greatly. "Besides," He thought with a smirk, "I'll just swing by the Cantina later tonight."
"I'll just go have a look around."Obi-Wan declared. His eyes sparked with excitement as he started making his way through the crowds, leaving a confused Mandalorian standing alone.
"But I…" Boba Fett started to speak, but the younger mercenary had already blended in with the large crowds, making it impossible for him to spot him.
The Mercenary sighed as he started walking. "There's nothing left for me to do but to go to the apartments I suppose…"
As he headed towards his objective, he walked past the Cantina, the sounds and music coming from the establishment beckoned him to go inside. He mentally groaned as he continued walking. What was the point of getting into a drunken stupor if Obi-Wan wasn't with him? The logical part of his brain argued.
He turned, giving one last look toward the local Cantina before continuing his pace toward the high-rise, however, he wasn't able to get very far.
A tiny smirk appeared across his features as he shrugged and turned around, giving into his heart's desire as he headed towards the entrance of the Cantina.
"That son of a Sith doesn't know what he's missing." He thought as he opened the doors and entered the structure, prepared to finally unwind for the first time in days.

Obi-Wan wandered around the strange new land that he was in, walking in a slow and nonchalant pace. Suddenly, he felt something hard knock into him.
He swiftly turned around and got into an offensive position, ready to attack.
However, his guard fell upon realizing that it was only a harmless protocol droid that he had seen stumbling around earlier through his passings.
He raised an eyebrow as he watched the droid attempt to apologize.
"I-I-I am qu-quite sorry sir! I just simply don't know what got into me!" It exclaimed. Obi-Wan opened his mouth to speak, but before he could even get one syllable out, the droid cut him off. "Why! Where did my etiquette program go? Allow me to introduce my self sir."
"I am C-3PO, human cyborg relations." It continued. "And I am also very sorry for that little incident, I don't know what got into me! Perhaps my circits are simply getting old…" The droid gave a long pause. "Well now sir, you must be a traveler of somesort." It concluded upon analyzing Obi-Wan's attire.
Obi-Wan was about to speak, but the droid cut him off once again. "Please allow me to apologize once more by offering to show you around the area, explain the current situation that is happening here, or perhaps I could aid you in translating the different languages spoken on this planet?"
Obi-Wan was about to refuse, but the droid continued to push on. "Please sir, I am absolutly digusted with myself for being so carless. My programming simply does not tolorate it. I shall have to make this horrible mishap up to you."
Obi-Wan rolled his eyes.
"Fine…" He muttered through clenched teeth as he continued walking, pushing past the golden droid. "Come on then."
"Splendid! I shall accompany you for your time here." It exclaimed joyfully, clumsily following behind Obi-Wan's footsteps at once. "Now then…where did you say we going?"
