Chapter 7: Padawan's Secret.
Obi Wan Kenobi sat on the foot of Jasmine Vunnae's bed. He reached out and laid his hand on her shoulder. She jerked and sat up. She slowly turned towards him. Kenobi lifted his hand, and wiped the tears form her cheek.
"I can't do this. I'm a Jedi in training. I can't lose my mind," she said, standing up and started to pace.
"Minnie, it's okay," Kenobi said, standing up.
"No, it's not okay. I have feelings I shouldn't be having!" she said, turning and facing Kenobi.
"I promise you! It's okay to feel the way you do," He said, placing his hands on her shoulders.
"How can you say that, when you don't know what I am feeling?" Vunnae asked.
"I do know what you are feeling," Kenobi said, as he removed his hands.
"How can you possible know what I am feeling?" she asked.
"Because I feel the same way," Kenobi said, at the same time.
"What do you mean?" Vunnae asked.
"I have the same feelings for you, as you do for me."
"But, Obi Wan we can't feel this way. Jedi's can't fall in love."
"Jasmine, I'm not one for breaking the rules. But what if it's meant to happen?"
"What do you mean?" Vunnae asked, sitting down.
"What if it's fate that we feel this way about each other? What if it's supposed to happen?" Kenobi asked, sitting next to her.
"But what if it's not?" She said, looking at him with shining eyes.
"Minnie, do you think it's chance that you met Darth Sulvae again?"
"Well, no. But that doesn't mean anything."
"Jasmine, may I give you something, no padawan should give another?" Kenobi asked, taking her hands in his.
Vunnae's brown eyes, met Kenobi's green ones.
"Yes, you may," She said.
Kenobi leaned in and their lips met. Vunnae wrapped her arms around his neck while Kenobi wrapped his arms around her middle. They broke off and stared into each other's eyes.
"I'm one for following the rules, but do we have to tell the masters about this?" Vunnae asked, as she laid on the bed.
"Not if you don't want to," Kenobi said, placing the blanket over her.
"It will be our little secret," she said, a sly smile spread across her face.
Kenobi gave her a kiss and turned the light off. Vunnae sighed, and rolled over. Kenobi stood there, watching the girl for quite some time, before he went to his bed.
"I love you Minnie," he whispered, as he closed his eyes.
While Kenobi and Vunnae were talking, Jinn and Golgotha talked about them.
"They've got sense enough not to fall in love. At least Obi Wan does," Jinn said, as the ship jerked into the air.
"Jasmine is stubborn, I'll admit it. But she knows better. At least I hope she does," Golgotha said.
"But Obi Wan has entered a new worry into his mind," Jinn said, pushing a button.
"What do you mean, Qui Gon?"
"He told of a premonition he had. And he thinks she's going to die," Jinn said, sitting back. "And I had a premonition that he was right."
"So, we have to worry about him going to the dark side?" Golgotha said, turning towards Jinn.
"Obi Wan is the type of Jedi who if he knows a fellow Jedi is killed by a Sith Lord, he will want revenge against the Sith. Young Kenobi is not one to want revenge, come to think of it," Jinn said.
They fell silent.
"Qui Gon, should we worry about them?" Golgotha said, turning back to the panel.
Qui Gon looked out the window.
"We always have to worry about them," he said. "It's part of out training as Jedi Masters."
"Qui Gon, do we have to worry about them, together?"
Jinn smiled, and chuckled.
"Yes, we do. For their safety." He said, simply.
