Hi. It's me again. Not that it's a bad thing, but I suppose the only reason your here is to read the fourth chapter right? Not like you want to listen(well read) to me babble all day do you? Well, anyway...Reviews are extremely appreciated! So please review!

Chapter 4

"The King always covers his tracks..."

The 13 and 14 year olds ate at the same time in the cafeteria. the pranksters where away from the usual crowd.

"Ok, you you need to get the HoloVid, yes?"Obi-Wan asked G, their tech wiz. Gareth opened his mouth to answer, but was cut off by a tech officer on the intercom system

"I've been informed to tell all 13 year olds that the tape of Master Windu's slight mishap in the hallway has been found and is being decoded. If the culpret would like to name himself before the tape is decoded, he or she is instructed to do so now."

The room was silent. Suddenly all the 14 years started to aske the 13 years what had happened. If the 14 years knew, then the wholeTemple will know within the day. Good publicity, but badnews. The King's friends all watched him for a plan of action.

"We have to get that tape. If we dont' we're incriminated for sure." Obi-Wan said as he started to formulate a plan out loud to them. By the end of lunch, they where ready.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They all snuck out and met in the hallway next to the tech center. All where wearing black overcloaks. Bant pried open the door, and they all began serching for the Vid. Once they finally found it they snuck back to the hallway.

"Hey! What are you doing!"Mace's voice came from behind them.

"Run!" was the only suggestion that Obi-Wan could lend. They ran, Mace trailing them. They went down the 13 year wing. Obi-Wan watched the floor so he wouldn't slip. He looked up and saw a figure standing in his way. Obi-Wan backpedaled furiously, but to no avail.

"AHHHHHhhh!"Obi-Wan yelled as he smached into Mace. Siri, Bant, and Gareth had seen Mace, and had stopped to witness Obi-Wan's uncerimonial stop. Obi-Wan slid the Vid over to Bant.

"Go."

They all hesitated. Finaly Gareth turned to go, Bant behind. Siri stayed a few more seconds then took off after them.

Mace pulled off Obi-Wan's hood.

"Ah-ha! Your the King!"

"Acctualy, technicaly, I just work with him."Obi-Wan said, refering to the King part of his brain that he worked with. And technicaly not denying that he was the King.

"Who was helping you, Kenobi?"

"I'll keep them to secrecy, thank you very much...ow,ow,ow..."Obi-Wan said as Mace jerked him up and pulled him along by the padawan braidto Yoda's Quarters. He knocked on the door, but Yoda was already there.

"Sense you, I did. Heard Kenobi, also, I did." The smell of Yoda's quarters hit Obi-Wan, who held his breath

"Padawan Kenobi was in the records room, and stole the HoloVid. He was out after hours. He also had accomlices that he refuses to name them!"Mace said practicaly shouting.

"Punished he should be."Yoda said, although not for which part.

"Kenobi! 2 weeks kitchen and floor duty!"Mace said. Mopping and fixing food every minute he had to spare? Not without a fight!

"But Master Windu, I won't have time to do my homework! And a Jedi's education is central to becoming a Knight, which is a goal of mine."Obi-Wan siad, trying to draw Mace into an arguement, which he could win.

"I won't hear it Kenobi. Unless you name your friends, your carrying out the punishment." Obi-Wan was about to protest, but only replied "Yes, Master Windu." Mace smiled. The boy would tire and tell him easily.

Obi-Wan was excorted back to the Jinn/Kenobi quarters by Mace. Mace apparently told Qui-Gon everything while Obi-Wan waited in his room.

Qui-Gon knocked but didn't wait for an answer. Obi-Wan was petting Babe.

"So, you snuck into the tech center."

"Yes."

"I can only guess who the three were who where with you."Qui-Gon said, already knowing who they where easily. There was a pause.

"I didn't tell Mace." Qui-Gon added. Obi-Wan was startled.

"I thought you would. Why not?"

"Because..becuase I guess I'm slightly proud of you."

"Proud? Of what? I just got myself into loads of trouble, and your proud of me?"

"No..well yes, but not that. But you took the blame for your friends, and your keeping them out of trouble. Your finally growing up, Obi-Wan."

"And your admitting this to my face? Wow, at least I feel a little better now...but I still have cleaning and kitchen duty!" Obi-Wan admitted, then protested.

"Yes, but you'll be fine. Just remember your doing it for your friends."Qui-Gon said.

"But seriously, Master! 2 weeks! I'll die!"

"It's only because Mace doesn't like to be made fool of."

"Well, the King will not be intimidated! Umm, well thats what he said.."

"Obi-Wan," Qui-Gon said, putting a hand on his shoulder,"I know, alright? It doesn't matter, you know I won't tell on you."

Obi-Wan smiled. "Thanks, Master."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So Obi-Wan's punishment wore on. And on. And on. He only got about 4 hours of sleep, it seemed. But he wouldn't give up, for the sake of his friends, although they tried to pursuade him to.

(A/N. I had more on this whole deal, but I took it out, to save space, nad it was boring)
