What Now

As Andul ran from the room Obi-Wan was torn. He was suppose to stay with Qui-Gon but Andul was his friend. He decided to go follow Andul. He heard Qui-Gon behind him telling him to come back but he knew Andul needed him.

As he approached her room he hoped she would not be too upset because he knew what that would mean. HE stepped into the room and realized a figurine was flying toward his head. His Jedi reflexes allowed him to catch it before it hit him.

"Now why would you do that?" he asked the girl.

" I don't want anything. I want to erase everything and start from scratch!"

" Andul, would you really want to erase everything including our friendship?"

" Ah … well … not really."

"Well then calm down and don't break things. That is not the Jedi way"

" Maybe I don't want to be one anymore!"

"You know you would no matter how mad you are."

" Yeah you are right but lets not talk about it anymore."

" That is fine we can talk about anything.."

"Didn't Qui-Gon say you were supposed to stay and improve your talking skills?"

"Now if I did you would have smashed that figure and be doing the same to the rest."

" Yea, but you will be in so much trouble"

"Yes but I would rather be in trouble than come later and discover that you have left."

"How did you know I wanted to leave and not stay and work this out."

"I have been your friend way to long. I know what you would do in a lot of situations."

The time that passed before Qui-Gon came to collect Obi-Wan was all too short. They had talked about anything they could think to keep Andul's mind from wondering. Without him there to help Andul didn't know what to do. When she was called to dinner she didn't go. She regretted this later because she was hungry and she hated walking through the house in the Dark. To keep her mind occupied she packed her stuff. She didn't quite know what she was going to do but she had a vague idea. She finally made up her mind and recorded a message for Guna and Obi-wan.

After a few mind tricks she finally was about to board a spacecraft headed for a remote planet of Tattoine. She heard the sound of running footsteps behind her growing louder. As if it had a mind of its own her lightsaber flew form her boot and ignited. Once it was in her hand it was met by a blue blade.

"What are you doing here?!!!" Andul bellowed at the man.

"What else? I knew you would do this. You are only seven and won't last long out there!" Obi-wan said with a half blue half orange face from the glow of the lightsabers.

"I can last longer than you!"

" Andul please just come and lets talk about this before you do something you may regret" He said as he backed away and disengaged his lightsaber. After a moment of consideration Andul shut hers off as well. She knew she could trust Obi-wan with anything especially her life. They found a place to talk and for the first time that she could remember she cried. She did not see how she could cry with Obi-wan but not anyone else. That question could not be answered yet but she new that it would be.

Van Guna was Woken by the door. He could not come up with anyone who would be calling this late as he opened the door. He saw a hooded figure and knew that it did not mean well.

" Who are you and what do you want?"

"I want the child. She is to come with me and learn my ways."

"You are not a Jedi so she will not come with you unless I am dead."

"That can be arranged"

They ignited their lightsabers and fought. It was not long before blue and orange blades joined the green.

The stranger threw the two younger Jedi across the room. After that he stabbed Guna in the Gut which ended the battle. Instead if collecting the girl he ran. He had not known that the young girl was that skilled and that small taste did not leave him wanting anymore.
