5. . .
A small, blonde headed Anakin tugging on the sleeve of his cloak to get his attention. Obi-Wan smiled, kneeling down to his level. "Can we do something fun?" asked the young boy. The knewly Knighted Jedi laughed, "Something fun? What did you have in mind?"
6. . .
"Anakin?" said Obi-Wan in a sing-song voice. "Come out, come out wherever you are. . ." He heard a giggle, and saw his young apprentice try to make a mad dash for base.
7. . .
Chasing after the boy, Obi-Wan grabbed him up in his arms before he could reach base. "No!" yelled the sandy haired youngling, trying to break free from his grip; laughing all the while. "Oh yes! I have caught the elusive Anakin Skywalker!" yelled Obi-Wan, parading his prize around the room, and giving a truimphant smile.
8. . .
"Not fair." said Anakin, still trying to squirm out of his arms. "Not fair?" questioned the young Knight. "I'll show you not fair!" he said, tossing the boy onto the couch, and tickling him. Anakin gave a shrill squeal, yelling, "Padawan abuse! Padawan abuse!" Obi-Wan only tickled him harder, saying, "Surrender, Skywalker!" The little boy still tried to fight him off, face red from all the laughter. "Surrender. . ."said Kenobi again, laughing. Gasping for breath, Anakin stopped fighting, "Okay, okay, I give up. . ." Obi-Wan sat down beside Anakin, and caught his breath. "It's my turn to count." said his padawan suddenly, jumping up, and dragging the tired Knight to his feet. "Go hide, so I can find you." he added, pushing Obi-Wan away from base.
9. . .
Anakin had finished counting, and opened his eyes. Obi-Wan sat crouched behind the counter, waiting for a chance to get to base. "Maaaaster." singsonged his young apprentice, imitating what he had done earlier. Obi-Wan hazarded another peek over the top of the counter, but ducked back down quickly having been spotted. His padawan grinned, sneaking fowards. "Ready or not. . ."
10. . .
Obi-Wan could feel the heat of Mustafar's lava flows burn his lungs, and bring tears to his eyes. Not all of those tears were from the heat, and Obi-Wan cried them freely, as he hid from his once padawan. Star's end. How did we come to this? he cried to himself. He heard footfalls resounding not far from him, and heard the sound of a lightsaber dragging lazily down the duracrete walls. Obi-Wan held his breath, wanting to make himself disappear.
Anakin stopped, sensing where his old master was hiding. He grinned evilly, and stalked towards him.
"Here I come."
