A/N: Hey guys! I finished my other SW fic so now I have more time to work on this fic so hopefully the waits won't be as long now as this one! Sorry if the chapter is bit short but It's gonna get darker after this and I wanted to keep this chapter a bit more on the light side :)

Shoutouts:) lola: Lucky coincidence eh?

Mizra: This chapter will answer you ? about Obi-Wan and whether he'll take a padawan :) No, Anakin wouldn't want to bring Cassidy. And he certainly doesn't wont him to go!

Goth Jedi, ClassicalBrunette, VaderSlave, doreenthatshot: Hey thanks for reviewing guys. I'm glad you like it!

Sarcastic Realist: Yes the romance part will be slow in coming. But there will be more. And then Anakin's going to have some love love with…oh well I shouldn't give the story away!

mrs skywalker: Yes I've realized that I need to change the summary. As I've said before this started out as a one-shot and I really didn't think that I would be making a big story out of this so some things changed. Umm Lexxa and Paolo do have a reason for being in here. There will be more on them later especially Lexxa. There was a hint already about they're connection. I didn't expand on the duels because I didn't think it important. I didn't want to concentrate on them as much.

THREE WEEKS LATER

"The Nobeliea System."

"Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon."

"Good. The Rucushi System."

"Avernia, Carenia, Terbin, and…umm…Lihegi I think."

Anakin sighed and turned the datapad toward his padawan so that she could read it. "It's called Lagikhi."

"Oh."

"Padawan, you know these exams are important and Intergalactic Geography is a very important subject."

"Yes, Master. I understand" Cassidy complied, taking the datapad from him.

"How's your preparation for you Rushanian exam going?"

Cassidy shrugged. "Alright. Master Lysk was very helpful. She's fluent in the language."

"It's from her native world, yes. And-" The doorchime cut him short and Anakin went to open it with a slightly irritated look creasing his brow. The door swished open to reveal Obi-Wan.

"Hello, Anakin."

"What are you doing here?"

Obi-Wan gave him a puzzled look. "Not much for greetings are you?"

Anakin smiled. "Come in. I'm just helping my padawan study for her exams."

"Actually I would like to speak with you. Outside preferably."

Anakin nodded and the two stepped out into the hallway. "So have you looked at him?" Anakin asked as soon as the door hissed closed behind him.

"Yes, Anakin, I have and he's a fine boy. But right now with the war… Anakin I can't take a padawan right now."

"So you feel no connection to him?"

"I…I do" Obi-Wan suddenly looked guilty. "It's not that Anakin. It's just that… There are other news."

Anakin crossed his arms and fixed Obi-Wan with an expectant look.

"Well we only have a fourth of the Order's knights to spare on the war. Our numbers have been dwindled since the Clone War began very severely. And the after math is still nagging for our attention. Anakin, there have been major deployments."

"Yes, I know. I organize them remember? But what does this have to do with Tish? If he doesn't find a master with in a week he will be sent to AgriCorps. I can't let that happen. I promised him. I promised Knight Gresto."

"Anakin, let me finish. Three out of the twelve masters are to be in charge of the Sith War. You, Kit Fisto, and I are the three."

"Are we being deployed?" he asked. There was no fear. Only a subconscious hope that he would be the one to knight her.

"No. Not yet. But that could change so easily."

Anakin nodded. "I'm not pushing you, Obi-Wan/ But think about it."

THREE DAYS LATER

Katas. When Anakin had been learning them he wished he didn't have too. The higher the level the harder it was to get the movements right and the longer it took to learn. Now, however, he thanked the Force for them. Even though his own padawan had, and still did, give him problems occasionally where the exercises were concerned he still felt grateful for having something to take his thoughts right out of his head.

He didn't choose a Kata to start from he simply fell into it. The all too familiar movements flowed one into another. He started with hand-to-hand combat Katas, putting his lightsaber to the side. Son-Gom 3 flowed into Son-Gom 1. Then came Chun-Gun 2 and In-Whoa 1. He moved through to the more complicated Katas. He calling his lightsaber to his hand and activating it he fell in Evening Sky and then Falling Water. Soon he advanced to the more aggressive Katas that he hadn't learned until after his knighting, such as Terminator, which combined hand-to-hand combat along with weapons.

Somewhere along the line he became aware of being watched. He stopped in the final stance of Terminator and took a few moments to catch his breath. Then he turned to face Obi-Wan with a broad grin. "Care to join me?"

"No, thank you though. I kind of had a bit of a training session planned."

Deactivating his lightsaber Anakin nodded. "Alright. I hope I haven't kept you. I kind of forget about the time while I'm doing these."

"No, I'm actually rather happy that we walked in on you doing these."

"What still trying to be the master and- Wait did you just say we?" Anakin's eyes fell to Obi-Wan's side and he was met with a pair of admiring blue eyes.

"Anakin, meet my new padawan, Tish Hun. Padawan, this is Master Skywalker."

The boy bowed and then took to staring at Anakin again who gave him an encouraging smile.

"Well I suppose I should leave you to your training" Anakin said with a nod, his smile now amused. Before he left the training room Anakin exchanged a knowing look with Obi-Wan and then called over his shoulder to Tish, "If he's too hard on you today, tell me. And I'll deal with him appropriately!" Then Anakin darted down the hall without acknowledging obi-Wan glare.
