Obi-Wan didn't judge Ari but he had to be careful, Qui-Gon was warning him about her. She didn't seem dangerous; she seemed like a slightly odd 14 year-old Jedi-in-training.
Yet, her comment about being intimidated did make more sense now. Still deciding what to think of her, she knocked at his door.
" Oben Kenoben open the door it's me"
" I don't know anyone named " Me" sorry"
" Ha-ha." Ari opened the door and plopped on Obi-Wan's travel bed.
" Ari I've had bad experiences with girls and me in the same room"
" Are the quite the stories?" laughed Ari
" No, now please I'm trying to relax, here. We'll be in Yano by tomorrow"
" Don't be so stressed." Said Ari still on his bed.
" Aridine Ry-Lyn please get off my bed. Or.. I'll"
" What, hit me? Move me? Use the Force? Oh please I'd love to see that!" mocked Ari
" No but... fine. but be out by Midnight!"
" Yes ma'am, erm Sir." Laughed Ari
"As long as you're in here, I am going to get to know the real Ari"
" Why I'm not faking, oh my God you actually think that inside I'm sensitive"
" No. But you'll get to know me too so. HA." A smile crept across Obi-Wan's face making Ari's stomach flip.
" That is NOT cute!" thought Ari, keeping that thought playing over and over and over in her head.
" So how does it work?
"
See this? Its called Ruma, its non-alcoholic don't worry, I'll say
something I've never done like, styled my hair, and if you have, you
would take a drink. Got it?
" I think so. I'll start. I've never...eaten chicken"
" Really? That's sad." Laughed Obi-Wan taking a drink. " I've never...sung in public"
Ari took a drink.
" What did you sing"
" That...is a secret." Blushed Ari. Obi-Wan had flashed that smile again.
" I've never...broken any lightsaber at all"
Obi-Wan took a drink.
" I've never killed an animal"
No one drank.
Hours went by and they learned neither of them drank coffee (yet) both
of them liked sports, running, swimming, laughing, dueling, being with
friends, and teasing their masters.
It was way past midnight, they both didn't care. They were still up, crazy as ever.
" I've never lost as limb." Laughed Ari
" Me too!" both of them laughed for exactly two minutes. Ari falling on obi-Wan knocking him to the floor.
They were both on the floor; Obi-Wan was close enough to count her eyelashes.
Ari went to stand up.
" Don't leave. You're too much fun." " Obi-Wan, I'm sorry it's late.
And I'm tired. Plus...fine, only for awhile." Ari sat down by him. Then
out of weariness laid down.
They were close again. Ari wanted to kiss him. That's all that was flowing through her mind.
Obi-Wan's eyes seemed to say: " Don't kiss me Ari. I want to wait until I know I can kiss you with a conscience" Ari didn't need words, but his worked. She had fallen in love in one night. Yet she knew it would probably end painfully. But Aridine remembered a line from a play she had seen.
"Love conquers all"
Qui-Gon woke up early and he knew neither Ari not Obi-Wan would be up.
He went to Ari's room first. He found no Aridine! But he could guess where she was ...
Qui-Gon went up to Qbi-Wan's door, as he opened the door, the image of Obi-Wan and Ari, on the floor, dead asleep made him laugh. They were teenagers, even though they happened to be padwans.
He awoke Ari first.
" So, did you have fun?"
Ari shot up from the floor and said:
" Ummm... No s-Sir I jsut fell asleep here."
" You're not in trouble young padwan, just don't be suprised at any extra running. You know the laws."
" But there are no laws against freindship."
" Oh no. Indeed we like freindship. Just, well you know the laws."
" Yes, Sir." Ari nodded and left the room to get re-dressed.
Qui-Gon was a little bit harsher with Obi-Wan.
" Master, nothing happened she came in here an-"
" No excuses, you are not in trouble. Yet I hope you remember the Siri accident?"
" Yes, Master."
" Do you not have any male freinds?"
" Many. They are all yonger than me, Master."
" Well, I see nothing against the Code happened so, just be careful."
" Yes, Master."
Qui-Gon left the room silently.
" Nothing happened" thought Qui-Gon. " Nothing at all."
