Author's Note: Ok so out of the two reviews I read I can see that I have not made it clear that this is supposed to be a story which could never take place. I'm writing it simply for fun and for the people who are tired of the boring old Jedi that George Lucas has made(No offense George). It would be difficult for me to write with stuffy old characters like his. Thank you so much for that constructive criticism and if you have a problem with the way I write I am not changing for you deal with it. Now I will continue the story for those of you who can be mature enough to deal with the way I've made the characters. Oh and to gurnius2 I would like to talk to you about how you made accusations that were not true about my story and how if your going to insult me than why don't you give me a way to defend myself because otherwise your really hitting me below the belt buckle. Oh and I'm making no profit from this.
Moving on… Obi is now 14 and 3 months old and Qui-Gon is still 30. : }
2~ He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not...
3 moths later…
"Lils can I ask you something?" We were hanging out in our favorite spot in the courtyard of the Jedi Temple. It was a warm afternoon and I was sprawled out in the grass and I mean sprawled like spread eagle sprawled considering it was the first warm day of spring.
"Yeah course, anything Obes" She grumbled this into the grass since she was on her stomach and I had to pause for a second to figure what it was she said.
"Well I dunno I was just wondering... do you think that my master hates me?" She sat up at this startled and I almost wished I'd kept my mouth shut.
"Obi-Wan Kenobi how can you not tell that your master loves you!" God I wished he did what a foolish wish I couldn't help but think. I had no time for thoughts like that.
"No he doesn't and even if he did that would be creepy so you know what I hope he doesn't!" I lied but it was alright I was a great liar, always had been.
"That is not what I meant and you know that. I mean that he cares for you deeply but you know what, humor me why in the universe do you think that he hates you?" She asked this in a way that told me no matter what I said she wouldn't believe a word I said. Still I continued.
"Because he avoids me; I don't even remember the last time I spent more than an hour with him other than for training and even then he avoids me. I don't even know what I did unless he's scared I'll do something to him which I won't. I miss him I have Master jinn but not Qui-Gon, you know?"
"Oh My Flipping Force!" She looked shocked and I got a little worried when she didn't say anything after that.
"What? What the hell is wrong with you?" I waved my hand in front of her face. "Hello is anybody home? Lils? Lily? Lillian Lenchen?" I forgot my train of thought for a second. "Huh you have a funny name don't you? Lillian Lenchen…huh. Oh crap never mind that what's up with you?"
"Nothing" She finally answered. "Or at least nothing you want to hear. I've got training" She told me standing up. "See you Obes." I nodded back at her and she darted of giggling slightly. What was up with that girl?"

Qui-Gon had me doing hand to hand combat that day and I was determined to find out what the hell was up with him because whatever it was that was wrong with him seemed to be spreading to others. Everyone seemed to be acting funny and it was bugging the hell out of me.
"Master" I grunted as I tried to kick his face but he blocked it.
"Obi-Wan concentrate on the moment at hand." He responded using the foot he had in his hand to try and flip me I saw this coming and readied myself for it landing easily.
"Don't give me that crap, clearly you underestimate my multitasking abilities." I tried to kick him in the gut this time and landed it. "Now I want to know: are you avoiding me?"
"What gave you that idea?" He easily recovered from my blow and managed to grab my hand, the contact surprised me and I lost my train of though. He easily flipped me I landed hard and didn't get up. He came over to me holding his hand out.
"The fact" I grabbed his hand flipping him over my head. I heard a loud thud and got up looking over at his body that was already standing. "That you never come near me outside of lessons if you can avoid it."
"What gave you that idea? You know I am a busy man." He responded sauntering over to me, ready to continue the fight. "Sometimes I don't have time for you."
"I thought as your Padawan I was one of your main priorities, guess I was wrong." I wasn't quick enough to block him and he managed to grab my right hand which he spun around my back; he held me there for a moment talking right next to my ear.
"You are but I have other duties I can't believe it you are such a needy young boy I really thought you understood my busy schedule." He than literally kicked my ass which sent me flying face first into the concrete. I felt the air get knocked out of my lungs. "Now don't take it personally but I have to go attend to my other duties." He walked away and all I could think of was that he hated me. He thought I was needy he wanted to get rid of me. But one other thought really bugged me, what the hell did I do to him?

That evening after a particularly boring dinner once again alone in my room I made my way to Hayden's quarters. I'd spent my whole time eating waiting for Qui-Gon and he hadn't even shown up. As I got to the door I heard laughing him and his master just hamming it up at first I thought about walking away and letting them keep up they're freaking shenanigans but then I figured I'm pissed, Lily's freaking me out and keeps giving me devious smiles and they're happy no I'm not gonna let that keep gong on. I knocked out the first part of that dun dunna dun dun... dun dun thing and walked in.
"Wow Obi-Wan your manners sure have improved you knocked this time!" Master Hafer joked as he walked past me into the kitchen nudging my shoulder when he went by.
"Ha ha." I was not in the mode for anyone's shit. "Hay can we talk?" Hayden nodded and I could tell he was already worried about me since I hadn't made a smart ass remark about him and his master being lovers but I was starting to think I was the gay one.
Hayden led me into his room and plopped down on his bed moving his guitar out of the way so I could sit. "What's up Obe?" He asked concern written all over his usually nonchalant face.
"My master hates me and I think he wants to get rid of me but knows he can't and don't you freaking dare to tell me that I'm wrong or overreacting because he practically told me so!" It felt good to get that off my chest but not as good as I had hopped for.
"Practically what do you mean by he practically told you so." For some reason I felt that Hayden was not in fact convinced.
"Well he said and I quote 'You know I am a busy man sometimes I don't have time for you.' And he called me a 'needy little boy' and literally kicked my ass and as I was laying there with the air knocked of my lungs he left to 'go attended his other duties' he left me Hayden, he left me!"
"He kicked you're ass? What were you training?"
"Well yes bu-"
"Obi don't be that way I know you love him and he loves you but that doesn't mean you're a couple so therefore you can't whine about stupid things."
"You think this is stupid? How could you think this is stupid? And he doesn't love me that's what I'm trying to tell you! He hates me he's avoiding me, he doesn't want to talk to me he has 'more important' things to do then spend time with me. How can you think he loves me with all of this evidence pointing against it?"
"Obi all of that evidence is pointing towards the fact that he loves you."
"Okay you lost me explain yourself."
"He's avoiding you because he's scared to fall for you. He doesn't talk to you for the same reason and the 'more important' things are to help him avoid you."
"Okay but why did he leave me lying there with the air knocked out of my lungs?"
"That I can't help you with." He said with an odd look on his face I'm pretty sure he had overworked his brain and needed an Advil bad.
"See you're plan is a fluke you have no clue what the hell is going on!" I was so sure he didn't, no couldn't, love me it was impossible.
"Whatever you say Obi-Wan, but my master just called so you best get going." I hadn't hears anything and I knew he was trying to get me to go talk with my master I just really hoped he was in our quarters for once in his lifetime.

I walked into our room though I really had come to thinking of it as my room since I was the only one ever there. Qui-Gon was sitting in his favorite chair with his reading glasses on and his hair up in a bun really he looked quit a lot like a therapist and I wasn't sure I wanted to talk with him like that. He had a data-pad in his hand and was reading form its screen, really I should have left him alone but I felt like getting into some mischief and was just really irritated with him at the moment.
"Master I wanna talk with you." I walked over to the couch and sat down facing him.
"Sorry I'm busy Padawan." He didn't even look up at me he just kept on reading. I was irritated by this and acted with my old instincts, I grabbed the data-pad turned it off and set it in my lap. Instantly Qui-Gon grabbed for it but I stuck it behind my back. He growled in annoyance and I laughed at it.
"I said that I want to talk with you so we're are gonna have a little chat you and I."
"No we aren't I have stuff I've got to do." He said this standing up and I noticed his voiced was now raised. "Now hand me the data-pad."
"No."
"Come on give it to me." He snarled not begging but warning me that I was in trouble if I didn't but I was used to trouble.
"Hell no you want it, you gotta get it from me." I smiled pleased with myself I was about to ask him what was up with him lately when he tackled me. I managed to keep the data-pad but ended up with my arm pinned under me. We lay there for a bit him trying to grab the pad from between the couch and I and my arm hurt worse and worse so I did the only thing I could do. I rolled over so I had him pinned against the floor and said. "Now." I slid the pad across the floor. "Tell me what's up with you Mr. Grumpy?"
"Get up." He ordered.
"No I don't think so we need to have a mature conversation so I'm not getting up until we have a chat."
