Part two- Revenge of the Coffee!


A few hours later, she'd dressed in her own room (she'd changed in the 'fresher because she was still wary of Siri watching her), eaten breakfast with Kenobi and Aayla, and gotten in a bit of practice with her new master.

The whole time, one thought was on her mind- getting more coffee. For something she'd never had before, it was strangely addicting, as if she wanted to make up for all the mornings in her life when she hadn't had a freshly brewed cup of hot coffee, which was every morning besides this one.

Finally, when Obi-wan decided it was a good time for a water break, she excused herself to use the 'fresher and slipped down to the cafeteria. The pots of coffee still sat out, tempting her. Coffee was mostly water, right? Surely this counted as a water break?

Obi-wan was patiently waiting for his new apprentice to return when Anakin waltzed in. "Hey master. Where's Baldy?"

"Anakin, really?" Obi-wan managed to restrain himself from an eyeroll.

"How's your training coming?"

"It's coming absolutely wonderfully." Obi-wan asserted.

"Your attempts at civilizing the sith witch are working out?"

"You're civilized. Mostly."

"Harsh. But at least… I…" Anakin broke off as Asajj Ventress, dignified former lady of the sith and now Jedi in training, came bouncing over to them.

"MasterI'mreadytotrainnow." She stated, breathless as if she'd just run from one end of the Temple to the other.

"That is a creepy look in her eyes. I'm backing away." Anakin said slowly, taking a few steps away from his master and Ventress, whose eyes were practically glowing with energy.

"Ventress… did you, by any chance, have any coffee?" Obi-wan stated cautiously.

"Yes… Is that a bad thing?"

"Did you get it from the cafeteria, or my room?"

"Does it matter? What did I do now? Am I in trouble?"

"Answer. The question."

"The cafeteria. Why?"

"Oh dear…" Obi-wan swallowed. "And how much coffee did you drink, exactly?"

"I dunno, two cups?"

"Oh. Well, if it's just two, I-"

"Ok three." Ventress burted out. "I had three."

"Three?" His eyebrow arched. Oh dear Force. This was worse than an interrogation. If she'd been caught and interrogated and Obi-wan had given her that archy-eyebrow face she probably would have just blurted out whatever it was he'd asked and probably more because there was no way she could lie to him when he gave her the archy-eyebrow face and her thoughts seemed to be coming a lot faster than usual and very rambly as well as though they just poured out of her mind without any control on those thoughts because normally her thoughts were not this jumbled and continuous and normally it was a lot easier to clear her mind of all things not just emotions but thoughts as well and right now the thoughts just did not stop coming and they did not appear to end either and Obi-wan was very sexy when he gave her the archy-eyebrow face but no, that was a bad thought, get rid of that thought.

"Five. I had five cups of coffee. Is that some sort of imit I'm not supposed to cross?"

"Oh. Force." Anakin stated. "You do know that the stuff in the cafeteria is cafenated, right?"

"She's never had coffee before today." Obi-wan added, rubbing his temples as though he could feel a headache coming on. "Can you imagine how much this caffeine is going to affect her?"

"You didn't tell me it had caffeine." Ventress snapped.

"I thought you disliked coffee. I thought you weren't going to drink any."

She'd been irritable only a second before, but now she was quite thrilled again with… absolutely everything. "No, I love coffee."

Obi-Wan gave in and rolled his eyes. "You can leave, then, since we obviously aren't going to get any training done while you're like this."

She flung her arms around Obi-wan, who looked quite flustered and startled. Anakin looked weirded out. "I loooove coffee. And you. Mostly coffee." She declared, before she let go of him and tore out of the room.

Anakin watched her go, shaking his head. "She's going to crash hard once that caffeine wears off."

Obi-wan didn't reply, because he was trying to figure out if she had indeed just mentioned that she loved him. He was also wondering if he should be worried that she loved coffee. Yes… he should most definitely worry about it. But he could do that later when he wasn't so confused.

Asajj Ventress: 1
Coffee: 5
Obi-wan Kenobi: ?


The next chapter may or may not be titled "Asajj Ventress vs Caffiene crash" XD

Once again, Obi-wan has the "?" symbol, because once again, this is what Asajj inflicts upon him.
