The surprise is at the end!


Obi-wan sat at his desk. It was almost 4:30 in the morning. He tapped the side of his desk.

"OBI-WAN!" Xanotes kicked open his door. "Oh, your already awake."

Obi-wan jumped. "Its four in morning. What are you doing up?"

Xanotes cross his arms. "What are you doing up?"

He sat there. "Good point."

Xanotes took his datapad. "Whac' doin'?"

He grabbed the datapad back. "Studying for a test today."

"Your not talking that test." Feemor walked in. "Come on get packed."

"Are we going somewhere?" He turned off his pad.

"You are, we're not."

"Where am I going?"

His two older brothers smiled at each. Like they knew something he didn't. Feemor threw his backpack at his face. He fumbled the pack and it fell to the floor. Xanotes laughed.

"Shut up." He snapped.

"Feemor! Xanotes! Stop bothering your brother so be can get ready!" Their father called from the kitchen.

"Yes father!" Both older brothers called back and the left.


Llum


"What are the rules?" His father stood behind him as be looked at the cave opening.

"Stay calm, trust in the Force, and don't do anything stupid." He gripped his flashlight.

"Good, I'll be out here." His father left him…from…

"The Agi Crops." The other Obi-wan answered.

He sat up. "The Agi Crops?"

The other Obi-wan sat up and faced him. "I am from a parallel universe. One where I wasn't made a Jedi in till I almost had to give up my life."

"Does our dad. In this universe Jedi can't have families."

"What? Why?"

"They see attachment and love as dangerous. Like it something we should avoid at all cost."

"But thats not true! Love is a normal emotion!" He gets up.

The other Obi-wan joins him as they walk through the cave. "Yeah, its just something they don't like."

They come up to a cliff, something about this gave says Feemor, but Obi-wan can't really put together why. He climbs to the top. Yep, definitely Feemor.

There is a pathway that leads into two more caves and another pathway. One felt warm, like the Force was inviting him in, the other was absolutely freezing. In both caves there was a stand, the stands look like they could hold lightsabers.

There was another pathway in between the two caves. He walked through them. This cave was huge! And there was a black throne in the middle. This definitely was Xanotes.

But what about him? Why did his brothers have a place and he didn't? Was he not supposed to be a Jedi? If he's not a Jedi, what is he?

He sat on the throne looking over the cave. Questions still going through his head. And he didn't have answers to any of them. He sighed and sat back.

He looked around the cave, it wad cold. He stared off into space trying to come up with a new plan. It took a awhile but eventually he got up and started walking.

He wasn't really aware that he was walking. He just zoned out walking through different pathways. He walked for a while not paying attention.

He came outside of the cave, but not the way he came in. He had to climb out. The frozen air washed over him. He felt the cold hit him as he looked around.

He looked over the rolling mountains. Each covered in snow. He slowly climbed down, thats when he slipped on the ice.


Later


Obi-wan woke up covered in snow and his hurt. He pulled himself to his feet. He looked back at the cave opening where he feel from, he couldn't see it.

He tried to climb up. He slipped and fell again. He tried again, and again, and again. Each time same results.

Fear started rising quickly in him."Okay okay. Breath. Breath Obi-wan. Breath."

He looked back up. He tried coming up with a new plan. His com! He could call dad. He took it out.

He didn't have it. Did he lose it when he fell? He must have. Why else would he not have it.

"Okay new plan, just don't panic."

It was pretty hard not to panic. He was on a planet he barely knew. He didn't have his com. He was lost and he had no way back.

Obi-wan couldn't keep the panicking from rising. He sat down, tears starting to fall. He pulled his knees to his chest. Snow started falling harder.

Thats when something caught his eye. Something was sticking out of the snow. He got up and slowly made his way over to it.

It was a lightsaber hilt. He pulled it out of the snow, the hilt was freezing, but for some reason Obi-wan didn't mind. He looked over the hilt, something felt right.

A blue blade shone out of the hilt. The hilt began to warm back up as the blade shined. He stared at the blade. The Force flooded through him.

Thats when the snow under him collapsed. He hissed in pain was he landed on his arm. The lightsaber flew out of his hand. He used the Force to grab it.

He pushed himself back onto his feet. He was back where he started, the the first entrance to the cave, the main one.

His father came up to him. "I was getting worried. You were in there for to long- why are you bleeding?"

"Im bleeding?" He put his head to the side of his head, sure enough there was blood. "Oh."

His father looked at the cut. "Did you hit your head?"

"Yes when I was fell."

"You fell?"

"Yes."

"Did you hurt yourself anywhere else?"

"Just my arm but it doesn't hurt that bad."

His father looked at his arm. "Looks like a sprain. Should I ask why you're covered in snow?"

He shrugged which made his father chuckled. "Thats get you back to the ship."


Back at the Temple


"If his lightsaber is green Im leaving."

"Xanotes." His father gave his brother a warning tone.

"Whaaaat?" Xanotes asked while Feemor turned off the lights.

"Technically you stole dad's lightsaber color." Obi-wan took out his hilt. "Also its blue."

The blue blade stabbed the dark room. He smiled at it. He looked at his brothers. Feemor smiled at him, Xanotes had this looked on his face like he wanted to be where Obi-wan was. He made eye contact with Xanotes. Xanotes gave him a fake smile.


1 hour later


Obi-wan walked into Xanotes's room. "Xanotes?"

Xanotes was sitting on his bed looking at his own saber. "Yeah kid?"

Obi-wan looked at him. "What was the look about earlier?"

"What?"

"That look, when I had my lightsaber out. You had this look like you wanted to be me."

"It was nothing Obi."

"It was not nothing." Obi-wan crossed his arms.

Xanotes gave a small laugh. "You really need to hanging around Feemor."

"Why?"

"That look, the way your crossing your arms." Xanotes sat back. "You look just like him."

"Oh." He dropped his arms and looked at the floor.

Xanotes saw the change. "Hey its not a bad thing."

Obi-wan sat on the bed. "I don't want to be exactly like Feemor, or you."

"Good I don't like think dad would be able to stand two Xanotes, or Feemors."

Obi-wan played with his lightsaber. "I guess."

"Besides. Feemor wouldn't be able to stand to little brothers doing this!" Xanotes pushed Obi-wan off the bed.

"Xanotes!" Feemor who had been standing in the doorway listening snapped. "He got hurt, don't try to hurt him even more."

Xanotes rolled his eyes. "My point."

"Roll your eyes all you want. Dad still doesn't want him to get hurt anymore then he already is."

"Awwwwwww Obi! The 'ittle baby!"

"Im 14!" Obi-wan snapped.

"Just a little baby!"

"Shut up!"


Qui-gon chuckled, watching his three kids bickering. He sat on the couch with Tahl next to him. He put his arm around her.

"They're really something aren't they?" Tahl asked.

"Its what I signed up for."

The sat in silence for a bit, in till Tahl broke it. "Do you think I should get a Padawan?"

"You want a Padawan?"

"Sure why not. I've seen the way you are around them. You love them, and they love you. And I want that."

"Are you saying Im not enough for you?"

Tahl hit him playfully. "Oh shut up."

"Okay okay." He held his hands up in a surrender gesture.

"But should I?"

Qui-gon looked at her, and pulled her closer. "I think you should."

"Really?" Tahl looked at him.

"Of course. You would be a great Master and Mother."

Tahl smiles and kisses him. Qui-gon returned the kiss. He was happy that Tahl finally wanted a Padawan.

"Do you already have someone in mind?" He asked playing with her hair.

"Yeah." He cuddled up next to him. "There's this Mom Calamari girl. I think she's about Obi-wan's age."

"That would be good for him. Have someone so close to his age."

"Yeah. Im going to talk with her tomorrow and make a decision."

"And I will be with you every step of the way."
