Chapter three plays at the beginning of the second movie, before the conversation between Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padme, but after the meeting between the Jedi Council and Cancellor Palpatine.

When he arrived the Jedi Temple, he took a deep breath. This place was his home since he was a little baby and he was too long seperated from here. He was glad to see his old room and his old friends, he dind't saw for many years.

I enjoyed the time on every mission, thought Obi-Wan, when he entered the front hall. But there must be an ending. I need a break. It was a hard time on the last mission with Anakin.

Obi-Wan sighed. His Padawan was now 20 years old. Ten years passed since The Battle from Naboo and the death of his Master Qui-Gon. He had accepted every mission that follow to distract himself from his thoughts. There was no time alone and no break for him. Anakin grew to a young man and Obi-Wan was really proud of him, but he sensed that this was not the kind of relationsship, he had with his former Master. He also Knew that he couldn't have the same relationsship with Anakin, because the boy was different as his old Master, but he wished that he could feel the same love for him. His respect and his feelings for Anakin started growing same weeks after the first mission together. Anakin was a friendly boy and willing to learn, but every year he grew older, he changed more.

„ Master", Obi-Wan heard a voice calling from him, he heard the last ten years every day. When he turned around he saw Anakin Skywalker walking to him.

„ What's the matter, Anakin?" asked Obi-Wan and tried to sound clear. Anakin shouldn't know that he was in thought some seconds before. He would only worry about that and these thoughts weren't his Padawans problems.

„ Can I go into my room, Master", his Padawan continued nervous. Normally, he wasn't that kind of shy during a conversation. Anakin was quick-witted person, who ever spoke about his feelings. „ I want to take a rest before we meet Senator Amidala."

Obi-Wan nodded understandingly. „ We'll meet here in half an hour, my young padawan."

Anakin nodded thankful and left his Master. He went right to his chamber. Obi-Wan followed his way to his own chamber, but he took his time during the walk. He enjoyed the Jedi Temple too much.

„ Is that the legendary Jedi-Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, of whom is spoken in highest tones by Master Yoda?" asked a teasing voice behind him.

He smiled and turned around. „ You're polite like nobody else, Siri Tachi!"

„ Only to you" she said and walked over to him. Obi-Wan opened his arms and wrapped them around the small body of the girl. But his friend wasn't no more a little girl. She was a young woman now. Her blonde hair was longer and she was only one head smaller than himself. She looked wiser now. She was also a Jedi-Master after all he heard during his missions. The last time he saw here was on a mission with his padawan. But they couldn't talk during this mission and they rarely saw each other, because of the presence of two other Jedi-Masters and their apprentices.

„ How long I haven't talked to you, my dear friend?" asked Siri and walked near Obi-Wan through the corridor.

„ Exactly ten years" answered Obi-Wan. „ You changed a lot since that day. You look wiser and more experienced. Also more beautiful, despite this is not possible."

„ Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're charming since the first day we met", she teased him.

„ You hated me the first day we met!"

„ That was a joke, Obi-Wan", she replied and hit him on the shoulder. „ I see, your're hair is longer!"

„ Soon it will be longer than yours", Obi-Wan laughed.

„ Please no" giggled Siri. „ You look like a Wookie anyway. Don't make it even worse."

„ Allright, allright. I'll cut them after a year!"

„ You don't have to cut it for me, but I still tell you my opinion about it and I think it doesn't look very presentable."

„ You convinced me" answered Obi-Wan. When both reached his chamber, he opened the door and let Siri pass. In his room was only a bed, some equipment for studying and his wardrobe. Jedi were forbidden to own personal stuff.

„ Tell me something about the last ten years with your new padawan!" continued Siri and sat down on a chair.

„ They were good at all, but also hard. Anakin was not an easy Padawan and still isn't."

„ At Qui-Gon's funeral you were afraid about this time. You thought that you couldn't train Anakin that way Qui-Gon trained you" said Siri and looked at him.

Obi-Wan sat down on the bed. „ But now I understand that I must not be Qui-Gon to train Anakin. I'm Anakins Master and not Qui-Gon. He was doing good during the last years, but every day he learned more and every skill he improved turned him from the sweet little boy to an arrogant young man. I believe that he is trying to reach his aims too fast and that he pushes himself to hard. I tried to stop his urge, but he was angry at me that I would hesitate and that I wouldn't see his potential..."

„ That sounds like a naive young man, who wasn't trained in Jedi ways since he was born" replied Siri thoughtful. „ Your duty is more important and more exhausting, because you're Apprentice came from another planet and not from the Jedi Temple. He was given to you by your Master and you couldn't regret him. You had no choice, Obi-Wan!"

„ I know, but that isn't the point!" yelled Obi-Wan more at himself than at Siri. „ I'm sorry. I had no break during the last years. I'm a bit overwhelmed at the situation. I know that now is the point where I must lead him the right way and I know that I can do that!"

„ I also convinced that you're able to do that" said Siri. „ You're older now and you know you're Padawan better than anyone else!"

„ I know that, thank you" teased Obi-Wan her and grinned. „ I need to sleep one night alone without him to get new energy for the next years with him."

„ You did a great job the last years. Now it is his choice what he wants to do with your intructions!"

„ And you?" asked Obi-wan and leaned against the window. „ What's with your Padawan?"

Siri sighed. „ Ferus is like Anakin. Young and impetuous. I try my best with him!"

„ I believe that you're doing so. Ferus doesn't like Anakin at all, because they have the same character. Ferus will be a great Jedi-Knight like Anakin will be. We'll handle this!"

„ I handled it all years without you and you're advice, but if I ever have a problem with him I'll ask you!"

„ Same with me!", Obi-Wan answered. „ Tomorrow, we'll meet Senator Amidala!"

„ The former Queen of Naboo?" asked Siri confused. „ What's the matter with her?"

„ She was attacked on the landing platform on Coruscant" told Obi-Wan. „ Our instruction is to protect her since the moment the Jedi Council know the assassin."

„ I have to go on a short mission with Ferus, but I will be back soon. You're assignment takes place on Coruscant. Maybe I see you after my mission."

„ I would be glad, if I could see you again." He walked over to her and took her into a tight embrace. „ I wish you good luck on your mission!"

„ I wish you good luck with your padawan and the senator!"

Siri released him and gave him a last smile. „ Good night, my dear Obi-Wan!"

„ Good night!"

The door closed and Obi-Wan was alone in the silence of his room. He changed his clothes and layed down on his bed and thought about the last minutes with a smile an his face. Tomorrow would be a new day with a new mission.
