Padawan
"Obi-Wan, come over here," Master Qui-Gon called, entering the creche and kneeling. It was the child's twelfth Life Day today, and Qui had a wonderful present.
"Yes, Master Qui-Gon?" The newly turned twelve year old had gotten much politer, thanks to his etiquette classes. He came to stand in front of him, hands clasped behind his back.
"Obi-Wan, you are a smart, brave little boy. I have grown to love our times together from the moment I met you until now. I have realized I long to train you and for you to be by side."
Obi-Wan bounced in excitement, knowing what was coming.
"Obi-Wan Kenobi, would you consent to be my Padawan?"
"Yes! Best. Gift. Ever."
...
An hour or so later, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Padawan, was sitting in Master Jinn's - no his and Master Jinn's - quarters. His long, tousled auburn hair had been shorn short, with the exception of the short, newly plaited, braid behind his right ear, tied with a red band, and the Padawan ponytail in the middle of the back of hid head, trimmed even.
His new haircut felt strange but good. He sighed blissfully. He had finally become old enough to be a Padawan!
"Obi-Wan."
"Yes, Master?"
"Ready for your first lesson?"
"Yes, Master!"
Master and Padawan went out of the apartment towards the dojo. Obi-Wan has never been happier.
