Chapter 12
Jedi X-man Serena Kenobi: No problem your story rocks lol!
Dan Ortega: I was thinking of doing that but I don't know if I should follow the movie
8 years had passed and Faith and Ben were now 8, Tahl was 37, Qui Gon 38 and Selena and Obi Wan and there friends were all now 26. Siri and Rey had got married and Siri was 4 months pregnant. Bant and Kit had been married for a year and Selena and Obi Wan got married when the twins were 4 years old.
"Ben! Faith! Time to get up!" Tahl called at 8am on that sunny Tuesday morning.
"Ugggh!" Ben groaned and rolled over onto his side and pulled his covers over his head he hated getting up early just so he could meditate.
Faith his sister was up and made her bed she didn't really mind sharing a room with her brother but he was so messy! She walked into the refresher and got changed her short dark brown hair was neatly brushed and she glanced at her brother and sighed as she walked out of the door.
Qui Gon, Tahl and Obi Wan were up they smiled at her as she walked in.
"Morning everyone." Faith greeted as she sat opposite her dad.
"Good morning sweetie." Her dad replied and then Ben slowly trudged out of his room yawning. Selena came out of her room and smiled at her little brother as he lazily pulled out a chair and collapsed into it.
"Good morning to you to Ben." Tahl joked as he son grumbled.
"What's so good about getting up so early?"
Tahl walked over and placed 2 bowls of porridge in front of them.
"Mum why do we have to eat this?" Ben wrinkled his nose in disgust.
"It's good Jedi food." Qui Gon joked.
"Please dad never do that." Faith remarked after hearing her dad's 'joke' of the morning.
Selena got up and so did Obi Wan.
"Well we're off to find the others we see you later." Obi Wan said as they got up.
"Bye." Tahl replied as they walked out.
After breakfast Qui Gon decided he was going into town. Tahl was sitting with the twins who were reading books about the Force.
"Mum this is really boring I mean I'm a kid I'm supposed to be outdoors having fun!" Faith stated.
"Yeah mum she's right! You are only a child once you know." Ben backed up his sister and they grinned.
"Oh no you two don't! The last time I let you two out you used the Force to pick up a marker and write on the back of Master Windu's head!" Tahl reminded them then smiled slightly it was rather funny.
"Oh yeah." Ben remembered with a grin.
"He got so mad!" Faith giggled.
Two months earlier Faith and Ben were with their friends. Master Windu and Offee were walking along the corridor. Ben was doodling on a bit of paper with a marker and when he spotted his 'friend' Master Windu he grinned wickedly at Faith who rushed over and when the two Master passed he used the Force to write on the back of his head. Master Windu didn't notice because he was too busy having a conversation with Master Offee. Faith whispered in his ear telling him what to write.
He wrote: STICK WIG HERE and drew an arrow that pointed to the top of his head.
Master Windu did wonder why Jedi sniggered at him when he walked past and when he walked into the Council room the whole Council were howling with laughter.
"Hair you wish you have hmm!" Yoda teased through laughter and when Master Windu found out what was written at the back of his head he hauled the two Jinn's into the room and roared at them for respecting their elders they had to wash dishes for a whole month.
"Ah but the punishment was worth it." Ben said happily as he remembered that day.
"What was worth it?" Qui Gon asked confused as he left his room in civilian clothes.
"Nothing dad we were just remembering that stunt Ben pulled on Master Windu two months ago." Faith explained as he put her book onto the table.
"Qui Gon when you out please get some fruit." Tahl gave him some money.
"Dad can we come with you?" Ben asked.
"I don't know." Qui Gon began and looked at his wife.
"Please?" They chorused they had their cute little 'we'll be good' faces on.
"Ok but I'm only going out for an hour." Qui Gon replied serious.
They whooped in delight and hugged their dad and mum before grabbing their cloaks and Ben grabbed some money.
"What are you planning on buying?" Tahl asked suspiciously
"Um nothing mum maybe some juice or a cake." Faith replied uneasy.
"Ok but stay close to your father." Tahl answered not sure if she believed her daughter.
The two twins followed their father out into the busy streets of Coruscant.
"Now I'm going to get your mother's fruit where are you two going?" Qui Gon asked.
"The bookshop." Faith answered quickly.
Ben looked at his sister they never went to the bookshop!
"What are you…" Ben began confused and Faith kicked him sharply.
"Remember Ben I was telling you this morning that I wanted that book on Podracing?" Faith reminded him through gritted teeth.
Qui Gon looked down on them amused at the situation.
"Oh Yeah! Now I remember that bookshop! So dad we will meet you back here at 10." Ben shouted as Faith grabbed him and pulled him away.
Qui Gon watched them enter the bookshop which was on the other side of the road and walked into the fruit shop.
When Faith knew her dad was away she and Ben quickly ran out of the shop and around the corner to the Joke shop.
The door chimed and the man behind the counter beamed.
"Ah Ben! Faith come in!"
"Hi Zink we wanna know if you have anything new in?" Ben asked as they reached the counter.
Zink grinned then pulled out a small black box and opened it. Inside were two small devices with a red button and next to them was a little small firework type thing.
"What is that?" Faith asked amazed.
"This is the fireblaster2000" Zink proudly beamed.
"Wow! How much?" Ben asked eagerly.
"20 credits." Zink replied.
Ben pulled out his money and put it on the counter. Zink smiled and shut the box and wrapped it up and gave it to him and gave him his money back.
"No Ben keep your money, consider this a late birthday present for you and Faith I have something for you." Zink handed her a small wooden box and she opened it, inside were various little pots and tubs.
"This stuff is glow make up which doesn't come off for a whole day! Perfect for pranks." Zink explained as he came out and walked with them to the door.
"Thank you so much Zink." Faith thanked him and she hugged him.
Zink was taken aback but returned her hug and said kindly.
"Faith you are always so sweet and good natured I know you and brother will be great Jedi someday."
Faith and Ben waved and left his shop he smiled and waved and when they were out of view he sighed and picked up his com link and replied in a steady tone.
"Dagan I have just finished serving the two young Jinn's and like you said they didn't suspect a thing."
A/N- So what does the joke shopkeeper got to do with Dagan's plan? And who is going to be the unlucky Jedi that Faith and Ben and going to play a prank on next? Review and you'll find out.
