From the Archived Journal of Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi
Jedi Temple
Private Quarters
How long has it been since my last entry? No matter. I do not wish to dwell in the past, and yet I cannot help but to become curious about it.
I remember being concerned about Padmé. I watched her head off to Mos Espa alone. No matter how much I wanted to go, I couldn't. I was still sick. Some type of poison flowed though my bloodstream and made me weak. Not to mention my injuries. I suffered at the hands of the Federation when I became completely surrounded. My skills were put to the test and I barely came out of it with my life.
I also remember part of the ridiculous Pod Race. Such a sport was partially entertaining to say the least.
(Long pause)
I have to recollection after that.
None whatsoever.
The next thing I knew, I was wide awake on a cot in the infirmary back in the Temple. At first I thought I was dreaming. How did I get here? When did I get here? What happened to me to make me end up being here? How much time had passed? The wall chrono indicated it was still just after dark. I became confused.
Doesn't that normally happen in a dream?
I looked around for any clues. My lightsaber, my tunic that may be torn or burned, my pants…anything! Any clue to hint at how I got here.
Then I saw her. Asleep on a cot wrapped in a large red-orange blanket.
Padmé. My Padmé.
Her sweet scent invaded my senses the moment I laid eyes on her.
I sat up. I was surprised I had the energy to do so. I softly called her name, careful not to be too loud. If Maidens Ivory or Lyn were nearby I knew I'd be in trouble. Especially with Maiden Lyn, she giggles a lot whenever she's around me…I never could figure out why, though.
She stirred and I called out to her again.
Within a flash she was up and into my arms the moment she realized I was awake. Her hands examined every bit of skin that was previously injured. My arms, my chest, my legs… She caressed my face and told me my fever was gone. I just stared at her.
And stared. Even amidst the darkness her face shined brightly. She was indeed a sight to behold. She stayed here all night until I awoke. What does that tell me?
She loves me. She cares for me.
I am grateful.
So grateful, I slowly began to cry. It was an odd feeling since I cannot recall the last time I cried. I mean really cried. She smiled and wiped away my tears with her thumbs. 'Why you crying?' She asked me. I simply told her that she made me the most happiest Padawan in the universe. I couldn't help but to laugh at my answer, but it was true.
Then it happened.
It was so sudden, so unexpected. I didn't care. The moment called and we answered.
Our first kiss.
