Its a tad bit more romantic than funny but...hey, you'll see...Review!


Chapter 5-Whatever else we crave

The club where Obi-Wan and Azah ended up was even deeper into Coruscant's underworld. Music poured out and met their ears from the many clubs that lined the street. The 'Three Moons' was a dancing club that had immediately caught Obi-Wan's attention by the lively music.

Once inside, Obi-Wan pulled Azah out onto the dance floor. A fast paced tune was playing and both padawans immediately fell into step with the other dancers. To Azah's surprise Obi-Wan was a fantastic dancer. She had never expected the ever-perfect padawan to be as superior a dancer as he was a swordsman.

"You never cease to amaze me Obi-Wan. Are there any other talents you've hidden from me all these years?"

Obi-Wan only smiled in response. "I'm hurt." He teased. "It pains me to see how little faith you have in me. Can I not have other talents aside from my skills with a lightsabre?"

Azah sighed, still smiling. "Oh you and your sarcasm." She then gently punched his shoulder. Both laughed heartily as the song ended.


The next tune was slow and soulful. Obi-Wan sent a questioning glance to Azah, wondering if she wanted to continue dancing. She moved closer, placing her arms around his neck, resting them on his shoulders. His hands snaked around her waist, a content smile gracing his handsome face.

After a few minutes of silent dancing, Obi-Wan looked Azah in the eyes.

"I meant what I said earlier." He whispered in her ear, leaning closer.

"What?" Azah raised her head to meet his blue gaze.

"What I said in the theater, about you being beautiful, I meant every word of it. I still do." Even as the words left his mouth his mind was screaming at him to stop, that he was only making a fool of himself. That Jedi didn't behave like he was.

Obi-Wan's words shocked Azah. She had never expected anything romantic to ever leave his lips. This was a new side to Obi-Wan and Azah enjoyed it but part of her ached when she thought of what they could never have. Even as she thought, her smile fell into a frown.

"What wrong?" Obi-Wan was now concerned.

"Obi-Wan...we can't. How could we? Attachment, its..."

"Forbidden. I know, but Azah...listen to me." He began to lead her out of the club so that they could have a more private place to talk. "I've never felt so right, so perfect with anyone else before in my life. I'll be a bantha's father if you think I'm going to let you get away without a fight. You know me better than that."

"That's what I'm afraid of." Azah sighed. "We haven't even become Knights yet, and if the Council were to find out we'd be expelled from the Order. Could you bear to live lie that?"

"No, but living without you would be a fate worse than anything the Council could ever do to me."

Azah was touched by this display and she was beginning to melt. Fear still gripped her however, fear of the unknown.


"So, what are you proposing?" She sighed for what must have been the fifth time in the past two minutes.

"If you truly feel the same way about me as I do about you, then I propose that we feel things out. Keep everything secret for the time being, and...see where it goes from there."

"I don't know Obi-Wan..." Azah paused.

"Come on, where's your sense of adventure? We set out for a taste of freedom, adventure, and..." He paused, leaning down to whisper in her ear. "Whatever else we crave."

She looked up into his eyes and smiled. "All right, but this is strictly on a trial basis."

"Of course." Obi-Wan said in a joking tone, smiling. He leaned forward to kiss her, only to be stopped by a hand on his lips.

"Now, now, now. Don't be too forward my dear Obi-Wan, we wouldn't want a rumor to start that your 'stick' has suddenly disappeared. That would call too much attention." At that she winked, grabbing his hand. "Follow me, I have something I want to show you."


Then they were suddenly on their way. Once again weaving in and out of pedestrian traffic on the streets of Coruscant.

Obi-Wan smiled larger than he ever had before. He whispered silently to himself.

"I think I love you, Azah Keel."
