Chapter 6

Disclaimer: Star Wars belongs to George Lucas & Lucasfilm. I own nothing, please don't sue me I'm poor! Sob!

Authors Note: Sorry for not updating work has been insane! I have a week off now so hopefully I can push forward with it. Thank you to all who reviewed. To Dustin this is a bit chick flick cause i'm a chick. I'm no good at manly writing (Plus i'm kinda making this story as I go, my plan went out a long time ago!)


By the end of the week Tira was beginning to feel much better. She had spent the past few days meditating and talking with Obi-Wan about her old Master.

"Coming to terms with what happened is the first step to recovery. In time you will find that your abilities start to re-emerge by themselves." Obi-Wan said as he turned back to the stove to continue cooking breakfast.

"I know. I even dreamt last night about what you would cook for breakfast… and that you would burn it!"

Obi-Wan pulled the pan off the heat in an attempt to save the meal, burning his fingers in the process. He turned round and looked at Tira; tears streaming down her face in laughter.

"You could have warned me," he said giving up and tipping the contents into the dustbin.

"That would have taken the fun out of it! Besides I didn't know for certain that it would come true. Forewarning isn't an everyday occurrence and we should be wary of what our dreams tell us."

"You still could have mentioned it. I would've been more careful."

"Yes Master, I shall remember that in future."

Obi-Wan looked at his Padawan and then at the ruined pan and sighed. He needed to talk to Qui-Gon.

"Obi-Wan, what can I do for you?" Qui-Gon asked leading him into his private quarters.

"It's about my Padawan. You did say you'd give me help if I needed it."

"Of course what's the problem?"

"I am uncertain. I believe that she may lack some jedi restraint. This morning she knew I was burning breakfast and she didn't tell me. When I realised she just laughed and made a comment. Ruined a perfectly good pan."

"You burnt breakfast," Qui-Gon stated.

"I was distracted. The past few days have been hard. Regaining her centre has been more of a challenge than I thought it would be. I keep giving her positive encouragement as her abilities come back, but her attitude is still somewhat distressing."

"Her friend doesn't help that."

"Sar-Eve?"

"She goaded and teased Anakin in the Archive library the afternoon of the Saber fight."

"Really?"

"Tira was over the way hiding behind a book at the time."

"How did Anakin take it?"

"Rather sullenly. It would be better not to let them practise together for another few days; I don't believe Anakin would keep his restraint."

"Mmm. What did Tira do?"

"Nothing during the incident, but afterwards she accused Sar-Eve of being a Sith and laughed with her on the way out. I believe there was a joke about Master Yoda in there somewhere as well."

Obi-Wan sighed and looked at his former Master.

"Yes Obi-Wan, you were just as much trouble."

Obi-Wan smiled.

"I suppose I had better just be patient."


"So, he actually burnt breakfast?"

"Yeah, it was so funny! I think he was more bothered about the pan than the food! I knew he would be," Tira said wandering down one of the paths in the room of a thousand fountains.

"I envy you. I'd love forewarning."

"No you wouldn't. I can never tell what's forewarning and what isn't, even then I can't be certain that it's going to come true. My actions to stop it from happening, may actually lead to it instead of the other way round. It's a nightmare!"

Tira turned a corner and came face to face with Master Yoda.

"To the dark side of the force jealousy leads. Wary of it, you must be."

"Master Yoda."

Tira bowed to him and Sar-Eve did the same.

"Calmer do you seem Padawan, working your training is," he said to Tira

"Yes Master Kenobi has helped me improve my connection with the force considerably."

"Good to hear that is. Promising student you are."

"Thank you Master Yoda. I will do my best to ensure I do not fail."

Master Yoda nodded and hobbled away.

"Yes I would love forewarning especially if I could avoid moments like that."

"I'm sure you would. Sar-Eve I have to go; Obi-Wan needs me."

Tira turned round and ran back the way she had come, passing a disapproving Master Yoda and Mace Windu on the way. Once she reached the halls she stopped and stood there trying to determine what direction he was in. Taking a deep breath she let the force connect and fill her, becoming one with it. She sensed him in an upward direction. Keeping with the force she made her way towards the council chambers. She was joined in the turbo lift by several members of the council. Tira concentrated her focus on Obi-Wan. As she left the lift she spotted him stood to one side,

"Master," she said joining his side.

"Well done Padawan. The council wishes an audience with us."

"I have just conversed with Master Yoda in the room of a thousand fountains. Master Windu joined him. Is there something wrong? I do not sense any anxiety or distress."

"I do not know the nature of this meeting we shall find out when we get in there."

"Thank you Master."

Just then Masters Yoda and Windu passed them and went into the chamber and they were summoned to the inside.
