The next morning, Jai decided she should apologize to Obi-Wan for making fun of him yesterday. When she went to her brother's room, however, it was empty.

"Obi-Wan? Anakin? Anyone home?" she called, pressing the bell repeatedly to wake them up. Whatever. I have my own way of getting in.

After reprogramming their door so she could get in, she walked through the silent rooms, all four of them. Obi-Wan's bedroom was sparsely decorated, a few holograms of Anakin, Qui-Gon, herself, and his other friends, and leftover model starships from when he was younger were the only sign that it was inhabited at all. Anakin's room, on the other hand, was filled nearly full of spare parts, tools, and all sorts of junk. Both were empty. As was the kitchen. She left, fixed the door, and went to look for them at breakfast.

"Hi, Thad! What's up?" she greeted the Rodian.

"Oh, hey, Jai. Not much, just tryin' to eat."

"You're always hungry, though!" They sat and chatted amicably while they ate, Jai keeping an eye out for Obi-Wan or Anakin.

"Hey, want to spar later? I've got to find Obi-Wan now, but after lunch, you want to?"

"Yeah, okay! See you then!" They parted.

Jai remembered that Anakin was leaving for a mission today, his very first on his own. So she figured Obi-Wan was there, seeing him off. She raced to the hangar, where an air transport was filling with Jedi bound for the main hangar closer to the Senate building. She pushed herself to run faster, trying to get on before the door shut. She made it.

"Jai? What're you doing here?" She whirled around.

"There you are! I've been looking for you all morning!" Obi-Wan looked sheepish.

"Tell you the truth, I was trying to stay out of your way. You were acting kind of moody yesterday, and so I figured you were angry or something."

"No. Trust me, Obi-Wan, you'd know if I was mad at you!"

"Okay, okay, sorry."

"Anyway, I was looking for you so I could say sorry for acting up yesterday. Didn't mean it, you know?" she looked up at him. Obi-Wan grinned.

"No worries, kid. All's good." Jai let out a sigh of relief. She hated fighting with him.

"So what's Anakin's mission?" He filled her in on the details about the sudden trip to Naboo with Padme. Then he told her that he was off to 'discover' Kamino.

"Can I-"

"No. You can't come." Obviously he was not going to budge on this. She turned away and watched as the streets of Coruscant changed from filled with Jedi to more slummy, to nearly regal as they neared the Political District. They unboarded at the hangar.

"Bye, Anakin. See you...when you get back!" Jai laughed and said good-bye to Padme. Obi-Wan told Anakin not to do anything reckless, and their ship, a massive transport, departed. The air taxi went back to the Jedi hangar, where Obi-Wan was cleared to find his missing planet.

"Bye, Obi-Wan! May the Force be with you!" she told him. "Follow the advice you gave your Padawan, and don't do anything rash. Which means not doing anything I wouldn't do."

"So, what, I can disobey orders and goof off? Kidding!" he added hurriedly, seeing the look on her face.

"I follow orders." she muttered sullenly.

"Hey, c'mon, Jai, I was kidding!" He knelt to her level. "Seriously. I know you don't mess around all the time. You're going to be an amazing Jedi when you get older, okay?" She nodded. "Good. No, I've got a flight to take. I'll see you in a week at the latest! May the Force be with you!" He bid good-bye to Masters Windu and Yoda, who had accompanied them. Jai watched her brother's ship blast off into space. She had a very bad feeling about this mission.
