Rilme Caatl: that was supposed to happen when Obi is 16, I think, but I can switch. See, I have all the chapter ideas written down on paper (actual paper, I know. Does anyone even do that anymore? XD) I might need another idea for when he's 16, then, but it can wait.

Part 2

Qui-Gon heard a shriek as well as a flare of alarm in the Force. He rushed inside the cave, following his apprentice's weak Force-signature. He found the boy lying unconscious on the ground in front of a tall crystallized pillar of ice.

"Obi-Wan," Qui-Gon said quietly, kneeling and lifting the boy into his lap. The Padawan groaned and turned his head, but did not wake up. It was then Qui noticed the large gash on the back of Obi's head. Though not deep enough for stitches, blood oozed out substantially. "Oh, Padawan." Qui-Gon sighed and heaved the boy up in his arms, standing and going out of the cave, back to the ship.

Qui-Gon quickly went to the tiny medbay within the ship. Setting the boy on his tummy on the small bed, Qui could get a better view of the gash in the twelve-year-old's head. Qui probed the wound, eliciting a groan from the boy.

"Obi-Wan?"

"Mas'r?" The Padawan opened his eyes and blinked groggily, turning his head towards his Master.

"Shh. Lie still," Qui ordered gently, turning Obi's head back towards the wall.

"Head hur's," Obi slurred, closing his eyes once more.

"I know. Let me fix it," Qui said, ripping open a packet of bacta and gently rubbing it into the gash. He pulled a painkiller hypospray from the first aid kit and injected it into the boy's system. "Can you sit up?"

Obi very very gently rolled over and pushed himself up on his bottom, wincing as the blood rushed from his head. Qui-Gon wrapped a soft bandage around the boy's head several times, binding the wound tightly.

"Thanks, Master," Obi said as the pain hypo began to kick in. "Can we go home now?"

Qui laughed and tousled the child's hair affectionately. "Of course."

...

Obi sat on the floor in their quarters, a fresh bandage wound around his head. The pieces of his lightsaber floated on the Force in front of him as Obi-Wan gently guided the Crystal into the center of the ignition shaft and snapped the casing into place, letting the finished weapon fall into his outstretched palm.

Qui-Gon stood a distance away, watching proudly as his apprentice stood, New lightsaber in hand. He ignited it, and a brilliant blue blade shot out with the iconic snap-hiss sound accompanying it.

"It's beautiful, Padawan Kenobi," Qui said formally, though with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Why, thank you, Master Jinn," Obi replied mock sincerely. He bounced excitedly as he turned the saber off and hooked it on the newly acquired saber clip connected to his belt. "Can we go spar now?"

...

Yay Obi-Wan! Hope you enjoyed! I enjoyed writing this, even though it was difficult using a touch screen instead of a keyboard XD.
