Chapter 9- Lesson in Fun
The next morning, Obi-wan woke up early and made his way outside. Obi-wan stretched, and then descended to the valley floor, where he walked slowly toward the water hole. Anakin was above him, hiding behind one of the chairs, his hands clenched and jaw set, ready to strike. Suddenly, Padme jumped in front of him, from around the front of the door.
"Good morning!" Padme laughed. "I'm ready for my first lesson."
Anakin was stunned; he took several moments to disguise his previous mind set and intentions.
Padme was jumping around on the balls of her feet, very frisky.
"Surprised ya, huh?" she asked.
Anakin looked back toward the water hole; Obi-wan was gone.
Padme laughed. "Hey, c'mon. Let's go!"
Anakin was still dumbstruck. After one last glance after his lost opportunity, he turned and followed Padme.
Anakin stood at the top of the hill. He was still attempting to teach stealth to Padme.
"Ow!" he heard her say.
Anakin was smiling bemusedly to himself.
"Three…two…"he said anticipating the pounce. He rolled his eyes. "one…"
He ducked.
"Gotcha!" Padme called.
Padme leapt full over Anakin, and tumbled over on the ground. Anakin stepped over to her head, looking down at her.
"You could hear me, huh?" she asked slightly embarrassed.
"Only…a lot," he said. "You're still breathing too hard. Didn't you pass this while at the temple? Or whatever?" She didn't reply. He shook his head. "Relax…feel the earth under your boots, feel the force flow through you…this will help the ground from shifting and making noise." Padme followed his example. A flock of birds interrupted them, alighting beyond a nearby hill. "Shh. Watch the master… and learn."
Anakin ran silently down into a gully, then up the other side, his hand floating near his saber. Leaping over the ridge top, he pounced, lightsaber active, right down on top of Rex, who is forging for bugs there.
Rex screamed in fright.
Anakin froze in the position in which he hit the ground, lightsaber in front of him; he skidded to a halt with Rex between his legs and his face inches from the saber.
"Don't kill me! Please!" He pleaded. "I…I… never really met your tyrant. I mean, uh… Dooku. Dooku. Oh heck of a guy. A little moody, but, I…"
"Rex!" Padme said from the top of the hill. "What are you doing here?"
"Padme! Thank goodness! Oh!" Rex said sliding out from under Anakin, who deactivated his lightsaber. Rex stood. "Hey… for once, we're not following ya. This just happens to be the best smorgasbord in the Pride Lands. Bugs everywhere!" He indicated the field of bugs, with a flock of birds eating contentedly away. "But you don't call for a reservation, and –yeesh!" He turned toward the birds. "Get outta here, you scavengers. Go on! Shoo! Shoo!"
Rex tired to scare away the birds; he waved his arms at one unconcerned bird, who bit Rex's nose.
"Oh!...Oh…Oh," he said in pain, nose turning red.
Cody rushed down a hill, and back up scattering birds, which came back to land right where they were. Padme watched with amusement, Anakin with bewilderment.
"Oh…Rex, I'm getting tired,' Cody said. "I gotta lose some pounds."
Rex tried to scare the birds off Cody.
"Shoo! Go on! Shoo! Shoo!"
Some of the birds flew off Cody. Padme and Anakin trotted back down the hill, Padme laughing.
"Hey, maybe he can help," Cody said. "Ya think?"
"Shoo!" The last bird flew off. "Oh! Yeah… there's an idea. Right. Let the vicious outsider—Hey! Wait! I have an idea!" He pointed at Anakin. "What if he helps?"
"What?" Cody asked confused.
"You wanna lend a push? Huh?" Rex said to Anakin, obviously not getting through to him. "Voosh. Guh…Force! Work with me!"
Anakin was still confused.
"Like this," Padme said. She used the force to send the birds flying!
"Woo hoo! C'mon, do it again! Do it again!" Rex said with glee.
Anakin used the force this time, sending the birds a rout.
"Yee-haa!" Rex cried.
Padme and Anakin ran down the hill, sending birds flying in every direction. Anakin was still clueless.
"Why are we doing this?" Anakin asked. "What's the point of this training?"
"Training?" Padme laughed. "This is just for fun!"
"Fun?" Anakin said it like he never heard the word before.
Rex and Cody ran by.
"Ya gotta get out more often," Rex said. "Fun! Yee-haa! Ha ha ha ha…woo hoo!"
"Yee-haa! Yee-haa!" Anakin cried slowly getting the idea.
The group ran down between a row of rocks, it was blocked at the end by a number of reeks.
"That's it, Cody! Oh, boy!" Rex cried.
"Yee-haa!" Anakin cried excitedly.
They noticed the reeks and came skidding to a halt, they noticed the birds all sitting on top of the reek's heads.
"Uh-oh," Padme said.
The birds stuck out their tongues and thhhppbbt at them.
The Jedi, Rex, and Cody turned tail and ran back the way they came; the reeks in hot pursuit.
"Hang reeks!" Rex cried to Cody as they turned a corner using the edge of a small over hang.
The gang turned sideways into a crevice in the rocks, where they his while the reeks passed by. They were laughing with delight.
"What a blast!" Anakin said.
"Oh…sorry," Cody said.
They laughed. Suddenly Rex gave Anakin a noggie."You're okay kid…"
"Hey," Anakin said caught off guard.
"You're okay," Rex continued.
They now tried to squeeze out of the crevice. Padme's lips brushed against Anakin's, accidentally. They looked at each other, both quite embarrassed.
"Um…s-sorr…uh," Padme stammered.
Rex and Cody have extriacted themselves and were some way up the pathway.
"Hey!" Rex called. "Are you two coming or what?'
The Jedi walked off, side by side and laughing. Giggles soon mixed with their laughing.
AW! How fun! Okay so I promised you guys a surprise and here is what it is. Drum roll please. * drum roll*
