Outside the dimly lit temple, which resided on Coruscant, the moon glowed on the statues, which guarded the flight of stairs leading up to its grand entrance. Inside the temple, most were asleep, protected behind the walls of their quarters, except for a few masters who were out on late night strolls. Only one student lingered in the shadows cast on the far side of the hallways as she tried to sneak back to her room without anyone noticing.

Not far down the hallway, her mentor sat in their living quarters awaiting her padawans arrival. Adi Gallia sat silently in the darkness of the room, patiently waiting and deciding exactly how to confront her padawan about being out past curfew. Being caught would have laid her students punishment to rest on the councils shoulders, but she was not about to underestimate her padawans stealth.

Just as a smile began to spread across her regal features, her padawan quietly opened the door and crept in.

"Just where exactly have you been Padawan Siri Tachi?"

"Master, I didn't think…" she was abruptly cut off by her master.

"No, you didn't think. I was worried that something happened to you! Do you know how easy it is to get into trouble this late at night?"

"Master, I'm seventeen, I can handle myself. Plus, I was with Obi-Wan."

The older of the two let out a deep sigh, "That poor boy… You get him into the worst situations."

"It was his idea," Siri mumbled under her breath.

"I also assume that it was him who made you late?"

At that point, Siri kept her mouth shut, afraid of what her master would say if she understood the whole story.

Master Gallia rose from her seat, "I don't know if I should punish you for sneaking into the temple without getting caught or not. I am proud of how you are progressing with your stealth skills, but using them against your collogues is questionable."

"You could just give me a stern warning not to do it again," the glint in Siris eyes was undeniable.

"Do you honestly believe I will let you off that easily?"

"It would be appreciated greatly."

"I will have to consider it. For now though, you should be in bed. You have lightsaber practice in the morning."

Siris eyes rolled as a soft sigh escaped her lips, "How early?"

"Early enough if you would just go to bed."

"Fine… I'm going…" Siri tossed a pillow at her master playfully before leaving the room.

Master Gallia caught the pillow, "Just because of that its an hour earlier!"

"That's not fair!"

"Of course it is! You shouldn't have thrown something at me!" she said with a grin.

"You're so strict…" Siri sighed.

"I have to be around you."

Both master and padawan laughed before heading off to their respective rooms and settled down for bed. Just as Master Gallia was about to drift off to sleep she heard the creak of her padawans bed as Siri sat up.

"How early?" she shouted from across the hall.

Master Gallia leaned up against her pillows before responding, "Four a.m."

An exasperated sigh could be heard across the hallway before her padawan exclaimed, "Blast!"
