Chapter 7: Thoughts

After the call Obi Wan was just sitting there smiling. The call from Satine had lightened him up, the thought that she, she would be going to Alderaan the same place as him. The thought of her blonde hair being combed through his fingers, her smooth face in his hands, her lips on his lips sharing a long kiss, smooth, wet, romantic. The thought of dancing her round a ballroom floor, the flowing dress twisting round his legs, the sound of the ruffles and satin crinkling in his ears. Beautiful. Obi Wan smiled to himself again as he walked over to his dresser, where he took out his spare robes and placed them into a duffle bag. Then he took out his smart robes, the black silk rubbing against his skin and the smell of shoe polish filled his nose as he polished his scruffy boots to make them shine.

"Hey Obi Wan, you in there" a shout sounded out behind his door, as Anakin practically banged the door down until Obi Wan stood up and opened the door.

"What is it Anakin?" Obi Wan asked sounding dismal.

"Hi"

Obi Wan stared at Anakin, his face just blank.

"Is that all you wanted Anakin, because I have some packing to do"

"No of course not Master, you know I wouldn't do something like that to you"

Obi Wan stared at him again, the frown on his face slowly appearing.

"Yeah well back to business. A little birdie told me you've got a date with the lovely Duchess Satine." Anakin began to smirk at Obi Wan, seeing the blush rise up his face making Anakin burst out in laughter.

"And who would this little 'birdie' be Anakin?"

The door suddenly burst open and Ahsoka flew in laughing her head off.

"Snips get out of here," Anakin hissed towards his young Padawan as she ran round Anakin, punching him in the shoulder.

"Your little birdie is here Master, coming to spread the secrets of the Jedi!"

Obi Wan looked towards his former apprentice who was trying to shut his own Padawan up, whilst she was dodging round him still laughing.

"May I ask Ahsoka, how did you find out" Obi Wan asked curiously, watching as Anakin caught her of guard and put her over his shoulders.

"Duchess Satine told me," Ahsoka said, her laughter dying out and her face slowly turning from red to purple as the blood rushed from her head.

"Anakin let her down, her face is turning purple" Obi Wan said, watching as Anakin slowly let Ahsoka down and her laughter returned, but in gentle rasps.

"Your face Skyguy! Still have that picture!" Ahsoka said, waving a holoprojector in his face and running out the room giggling like a little toddler.

"AHSOKA GIVE THAT BACK!" Anakin roared at the top of his voice, Ahsoka's laughter still ringing down the corridor.

"Sorry Obi Wan, I'll talk to you later. Enjoy your little date with the Duchess" he laughed and ran out the door after Ahsoka

"Its not a date" Obi Wan shouted down the corridor after his former apprentice.

Obi Wan closed the door and walked over to his bed, where from underneath his pillow he produced a small photo. The photo simply consisted of two people, one of a young man about the age of 19-20 his auburn hair trimmed short, his clothing crisp and clean and a small braid peeping out the side of his ear. The other a woman, the same age, shoulder length, blonde hair blew in her face, her own attire, simple but beautiful upon her. The both of them sat there, laughing, leaning against each other as though they were lovers. Truth to tell they couldn't marry or for relationships but it didn't stop them from loving each other in secret. Obi Wan smiled at the picture, looking into the young Satine's rich blue eyes, her laughter the both of them in happy harmony together. Carefully he placed the picture, along with a picture of him and Qui Gon inside of the duffle bag and swung it carelessly over his shoulder and made his way to the landing bay.

Manizra watched, like a tiger stalking its prey as Kenobi left his room and locked the door. Grinning to herself she blocked her force presence and followed him down the bright hallways and passing many Jedi, younglings and masters alike, many bowing in respect to the young master. She watched as he twisted and turned through the corridors till she could see him no more.

There she tied her hair back into a ponytail so it neatly rested on her back and jumped down from the window she had been walking along and landed on a nearby ship, watching as the doors opened from the Jedi Temple and revealed Obi Wan walking out onto the platform, duffle bag over his shoulder. Manizra grinned to herself as she carefully jumped behind Obi Wan, slowly revealing her force presence to him, hoping he wouldn't turn round just yet.

"Hello there!" She said to him.

Obi Wan turned round to be faced with Manizra, who grinned again and built up the force around her and used it to push Obi Wan back into a wall. She watched him fly into the wall; his head colliding with it with a loud crack being heard round them. Then she waited.

CLIFF-HANGER! I'm so mean! Keep reading guys :D
