Obi-wan's POV

' Master Kenobi!'

I was walking down the corridors, still pondering on how to break the news to Anakin and Ahsoka, when a loud voice shouted behind me.

I stopped and Ahsoka ran in front of me, panting for breath from running.

' Master Kenobi,' She gasped. ' What… What is the result of the Council? Are they going to expel Anakin? Oh please, don't tell me they expelled him.'

A mischievous thought flashed through me upon looking at her terrified expression. ' Anakin is no longer a Jedi knight,' I said in the most apologetic and grim voice I could muster.

' WHAT?' She bellowed out loud, that a couple younglings that were trudging down the corridor jumped in surprise at her yell. ' How could they? I must go to speak to the Council at once, they cannot do that!'

She was all ready to Force-jump off the floor, and I decided to end my fun. I grabbed her arm and said, ' Sure, Anakin is no longer a Jedi knight. But he is now a Jedi master.'

Her jaw dropped. ' T-that's wonderful! Thank goodness,' She patted her chest and gave me a pointed glare. ' Thanks so much for the joke, Master Kenobi. I was afraid…'

' The Council will not expel him after all he has done for us. Though Mace Windu isn't very happy, Master Yoda has decided to make him a Master,' I told her serenely. ' And I have another surprise for you.'

' What?'

' The Council has also decided to promote you to the rank of Jedi knight,' I broke the news.

Her face turned from incomprehension, surprise, shock to joy in just milliseconds. ' M-master, are you serious?'

' Of course, Master Yoda himself declared that, congratulations!' I clapped her on her back. ' Though we will have to break the news to Anakin.'

She turned a bit sad, ' that means… I am no longer his Padawan anymore. I really don't know whether to be happy or sad.'

' Don't worry, I went through that phase of life when Anakin was promoted to Jedi knight,' I stroked my beard. ' I was super delighted at his promotion, but at the same time I kind of didn't want him to leave me. But even after his knighting, we stuck together during missions, and hey, we are still good friends even now.'

' You are right,' She bit her lip. ' I'll still get to do missions with him, right?'

' That depends if he wants to take another Padawan. But judging on his personality and state right now, he will not be taking another one, well, until his child is born,' I shrugged. ' But yeah, you can still get to do missions with him.'

She smiled, ' Thank you so much, Master Kenobi.'

' So… right now. Are you up for some fun?' I smirked mischievously at her.

She looked confused, ' What fun?'

I bent forward and began to tell her my plan.

Ahsoka's POV

I still couldn't believe Obi-wan came up with such a cruel prank.

' Master… Are you sure you want to do that?' I piped up nervously. ' You know… When he finally gets the truth, he will go raging.'

The last time Obi-wan faked his death; Anakin was so furious that he ignored him for days. This time, we had to lie to him again, but for fun.

' Just relax and have fun. Rejoice! It is the end of the War, and finally we can have a moment of fun and peace other than battling droids to death,' He said calmly, as if he was just talking about the weather.

I sighed. He had cooked up with a master plan to prank Anakin. We would tell him that I was no longer his Padawan anymore and watch his reaction.

We stopped outside Anakin and my quarters.

' Do keep a straight face, don't laugh,' he instructed.

I snorted as he pressed the doorbell, ' Anakin? Can I come in?'

The door swung open and Anakin opened the door, looking both fearful and determined, ' so… What is the result?'

' The results are out… First of all… Ahsoka will have to pack her stuff soon, she is going to leave here,' Obi-wan said somberly.

' Wait, what the what?' Anakin exclaimed, looking both shocked and hurt at me. ' Why in the name of the Force does she need to leave?'

Obi-wan gave me a discreet look that said 'play along'. I cleared my throat and tried to look as sad as possible, ' Yes Anakin, I have to leave.'

' No way! What?' Anakin stared at both of us in disbelief. ' Ahsoka, I thought… You have forgiven the Jedi Order! That is crazy! You can't leave, please-' He looked as if we had kicked him in the chest.

Obi-wan was probably losing himself because his shoulders were shaking vigorously with inward laughter. ' Obi-wan!' Anakin seemed to notice his shaking. ' How can you laugh like that? Ahsoka is-'

' HAHAHAHA!' Obi-wan laughed in his face. ' GOT YOU!'

' I am leaving because I have been promoted to Jedi knight!' I broke the news happily.

Anakin looked between us in shock, ' Wait, what? T-that's wonderful, Snips!'

' Also, you have been made Jedi Master,' Obi-wan clapped Anakin on his back.

' What?' Anakin seemed to be lost for words.

' I don't know what to say,' Obi-wan said dramatically. ' You will always be that little scruffy Padawan I had, with that scruffy hair and moody pout. Now you are the same rank as your old master, you are no longer that cute Pod-racer! You have to take up responsibilities!'

' Shut up,' Anakin said, going red in embarrassment but looking very happy.

Then he turned to me and said, ' I am happy for you, Snips, you are finally a Jedi knight! And I am no longer your Master, so you will have to live on your own and have your own responsibilities-'

' You will always be my Master, Anakin,' I grinned. ' We can still go on missions together, like you and Master Kenobi. It doesn't matter. But I will remember your teachings forever, and hopefully pass on to the future generations.'

Anakin nodded, his blue eyes brimming with happy tears.

' The Knighting ceremony date will be decided soon enough,' Obi-wan announced awkwardly. ' So uh, you guys are still in a Master-Padawan relationship. Stop talking like as if you guys are… Going to die.'

I laughed, while Anakin glared at him moodily.

Parting would be hard, but well, that would open to a new chapter of my life, wouldn't it?
