Child of the Force

Thank you so much to GreyFoxofLight for this idea!

Qui-Gon sat on his heels in the corner of one of the training dojos, watching the two-year-old Dragon-Bird Clan practice Force-skills. Obi-Wan, now almost three, was among these young ones. He was sitting on the floor with his legs spread out in front of him. His tongue was between his teeth, poking out of his mouth and a determined look graced his small face. His eyes were closed tight as he set his focus on a small red ball resting on the floor, his hand stretched out, fingers splayed hard.

Qui-Gon gasped as the sphere rose into the air about six inches. Obi-Wan had never used the Force before, though he had tried dozens and dozens of times. Obi-Wan opened his eyes and relaxed his hands. The ball fell to the ground. He leapt to his feet and jumped up and down. That's when he noticed Qui-Gon crouched in the corner, his chin in his hand and his eyes bright.

"Qui! Qui! Didya see? Didya see? I used da Fowrce!" Obi-Wan ran to Qui-Gon and catapulted himself into the man's lap. Qui-Gon fell backward when the youngling threw himself into his lap. He quickly regained his composure and balance.

"Yes, young one! I saw!" he replied, standing with Obi-Wan in his arms. He threw him into the air, then caught him about the hips. Obi-Wan giggled. Qui-Gon tossed him again. Obi-Wan shrieked in laughter, then struggled to get down when Qui-Gon caught him again.

"Wemme twy somefing, Qui." Then the child reached his hand out and splayed his fingers. The determined look once again graced his features, and his tongue poked out. He squinted his eyes and grunted, but his idea worked. Qui-Gon was levitated into the air, if only for a few seconds and two inches off the ground. This was extremely unusual and very hard for one so young to accomplish. Qui-Gon swung Obi-Wan into the air.

"How in the world did you do that?!" He asked/shouted. Obi-Wan shrugged.

"Took gweat concentwation," he said. Qui-Gon looked at the two-year-old before him.

"Little one, you are wise beyond your years."

Obi-Wan quirked an eyebrow. "Huh?"

Qui-Gon chuckled. "You'll understand when you're older."

Hey, I don't even know if that is possible for a two year old to accomplish with the Force, but whatever. Meh...
