Thanks for everybody's reviews, it means a lot to me. :) Here is chapter 5 of this Obi-Wan Challenge. Enjoy ;)
Chapter 5
Much to Anakin's surprise, he saw Padme ahead of him, walking alone and unguarded. At night! Anakin called, but Padme never slowed down. He sped up and grabbed her by an arm.
"Padme, it's not safe out. Mace is in drag and Obi-Wan is drunk and - hey - you're not Padme."
"And you're a pervert - flashing your underwear at me!"
"And I told you I am *not* drunk."
Anakin whipped around to find Obi-Wan standing behind him, blue eyes gleaming and commanding all at once. "Master! Where were you! And what the kriff are you talking about?"
"It was a *virgin* and I only had a taste."
"Ohh!" the diminutive brunette, whom both Jedi had forgotten, gasped, her expression disgusted. "Perverts! How dare you speak of a lady that way!" And her small hand lifted, to slap Obi-Wan across the face.
Out of respect, he let her.
"It wasn't a lady," he explained, rubbing his reddened cheek. "It was -"
"Ohhh!" She gasped again, cutting him off as she misunderstood once more. But this time Obi-Wan ducked.
The brown haired woman stamped her foot in anger. "I'm getting a security droid!" she shouted and she ran off.
At least Anakin was no longer 'exposed' as he was sitting on the ground, incapacitated with laughter.
"But it wasn't a lady," Obi-Wan reiterated glumly. He lifted a finger and held it before Anakin's nose, a tactic learned from Qui-Gon which had always served to shut him up. Of course, it rarely worked on Anakin. "Not a word; not one."
"C'mon, Obi-Wan - you let her deck you!"
The glance Obi-Wan skewered his apprentice with was as glacial as the ice on Hoth - and simmering beneath, the magma of Mustaphar. "I thought it impolite not to allow the young lady to vent under the circumstances. Besides," he straightened his tunic.
"Impolite to defend your honor?"
"Well, you weren't defending me. And I was hardly decked - in fact, it is you sitting on the ground; you'll get your 'lightsabers' dirty, young one. And weren't you to not say one word!"
"I didn't," Anakin protested, grinning. "I said more than one - if you, Master-of-words, had said what you really meant - "
"After all these years, Anakin, I know you chose to deliberately misunderstand me."
"Well..." Anakin spread his hands. "It's a talent, you must admit."
"Not one I encouraged," Obi-Wan growled.
"Obi-Wan?"
"What?"
"Ah, what do you want to do about the security droid homing in on you?"
"Let you destroy the thing - it's what you do best, isn't it? Unless you wish to scare it off with a display of your multiple lightsabers?"
earlybird- "Droids are for scrapping and..."
"Droid parts Anakin? No way. Last time I had to wake you I stumbled over your droidparts littering "
"Littering? I made a new droid for Master..."
"Wundu yes and he complained about it from here to Force knows where. Painting it purple and adding that bald touch was too much. Oh dear..."
"That's droidparts and more coming master. I saved your..."
