I like how Mace is forthright and blunt with Qui-Gon. He doesn't sugar coat the truth or dance around topics; he tells it like it is. happy

Mace should take Obi-Wan as his padawan; I think they would make a great team! grin And, he cares for the boy.

Qui-gon you stubborn man, mabye you really don't deserve to have Obi-wan as your apprentice, maybe Mace does need to be the boy's master, I fear for your path too. Qui-gon's got a lot to settle out and a lot to forgive and forget, and get his ducks in a row.

Poor Obi-wan, I hope Mace can help him out with Qui-gon's lastest mistake.

Awesome job! I enjoyed reading it! Thank you for the PM and the update!

Mace I will not change my mind

AAAAAGGGGGHHHH! frustrated frustrated frustrated

I wonder how Qui-Gon will feel when he lears Obi-Wan is staying with Mace...and is doing quite well.

I loved seeing Obi-Wan and Bant's interaction. He certainly deserves a little fun after everything he's been through.

Great update

dancing I finally got the internet in my apartment, yippee!!! That means regular replies again! dancing


I love this story, Gkilkenny, you do meanie Qui-Gon so well. grin

I'm glad that the Council is finally being nice to poor Obi-Wan.

I'm very interested in seeing Qui's reaction to someone else becoming Obi's master. Will he be jealous? hmmm... thinking And Obi will decide he is better off with someone else, that will serve Qui right. frustrated

I'm so glad you love writing these stories, Gkilkenny, they're always very fun to read. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us! love love


Could you put me on your PM list, pretty please? batting

Date Posted: 2/26 3:18am Subject: RE: Broken Hearts/ Lonely Hearts: Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Mace, (Bruck, Xanatos ) 19 Feb. *Updated*




Qui-Gon hurried down the hall, he had said things he did not mean to say. Xanatos last words kept coming back to haunt him. You cannot even trust your new apprentice; he will walk away from you….., ‘Oh, that’s right he already has! My it did not take him long to realise what kind of master you are. I have to give the brat credit, it took me nearly twelve years to pull my self away from your continued droning about Jedi pieces of wisdom, and the famous Qui-Gon speech of ‘keep your thoughts in the here and now’
Qui-Gon could not bear to believe he had caused Obi-Wan to stray, he needed to talk to some one, Tahl, yes he would go and see her now.

If Qui-Gon expected Master Tahl to comfort him and say she understood, he was mistaken. When he asked her if she thought he had been too harsh with Obi-Wan, he had expected her to say no. However, she told him in no uncertain terms that his obsession with Xanatos probably ruined his chance of seeing that Obi-Wan was a gift. A gift of the force, only Qui-Gon had been too stubborn to see it. She explained to him that he put too much pressure on Obi-Wan to be perfect, all in the hope of banishing the memory of Xanatos.

Qui-Gon left Tahls apartment, he had decided the only way to discover why Obi-Wan felt compelled to stay on Melida/Daan, would be to talk to him about it. They had not discussed much on their way back to the temple, except him telling Obi-Wan he could no longer trust him. Qui-Gon felt a sudden urge to speak to Mace again, perhaps he would apologies for his outburst earlier, and then find out where Obi-Wan was so he could speak to him.

000


Obi-Wan entered the turbo-lift, he felt buoyed by the fact that other Padawans had felt confused about their place in the order. However, he did not think any of them had drawn their sabre on their Master, and although Obi-Wan knew he had not drawn it in anger, Qui-Gon believed he did. It was frustration that caused Obi-Wan to do it. Qui-Gon would not even listen to him, he never listened to him.
It finally occurred to him that waiting for Qui-Gon to change his mind, and take him back as his apprentice was a foolish and impossible dream. He would meditate and release his emotions about Master Jinn and would strive to begin fresh.
He pressed the button for the top floor, and he sighed. The memorial hall, was fast becoming his favourite place to go, it seemed to him that the force resided there, waiting to embrace those who passed from this realm to the next. He felt at peace amongst the statues and quiet of the pyre room. He watched each button light up as the turbo-lift ascended, and was surprised when it stopped ten floors from the top, and the doors opened.

“Hello Obi-Wan, now isn’t this a co-incidence, you are just the person I have been looking for?”


“Master Chas-Anna, Good evening to you,” he bowed respectfully, “You have been looking for me?” he inquired.

“Yes, I have, I wanted to make sure you were alright after your ordeal, how is your leg.”

“Healer Ba’han says it is healing nicely, and he thinks I can take the brace off tomorrow”

“That is good news Obi-Wan, I am so glad you are alright…. Obi-Wan I know it is a difficult time for you at the moment, and I know you have been placed on probation. Nevertheless, I would like to ask you something very important, do you have a few minutes to speak with me?”

Obi-Wan smiled, he always had time for Master Chas-Anna, she was the first crèche master he had, and he remembered her stories and her comforting hand when he was sick, he felt closer to her than most other masters, and he wondered if the feeling he had for her was akin to what it would feel like having a mother. “I will always have time for you Master”

“Excellent”, and she pressed the button and the turbo-lift stopped. Then she pressed it to go down, and she took Obi-Wan to a small remembrance garden. It was quiet, and was reserved for Masters, Knights and their Padawan’s, who wished to meditate privately.

Master Chas-Anna, motioned for Obi-Wan to sit on a bench and she sat next to him. Obi-Wan wondered what she was going to say.

“Obi-Wan, I have decided to ask the Council to put me on mission status once again. I feel I can serve the force better by taking to the field in the search of force sensitive younglings to be raised as Jedi and to do this I will require an apprentice. I know you do not have a Master, and I realise you cannot accept a Master until your probation has ended. Nevertheless, I would like you to consider becoming my apprentice?”

Obi-Wan could not believe his ears; Master Chas-Anna had just asked him the most sought after question he had ever wanted to hear.

“You want –me– as your apprentice!” he exclaimed abruptly, and then felt embarrassment rise to his cheeks. “I am sorry Master I must sound disrespectful. However, on the contrary, I am honoured that you would even consider me after what I have done.”

Chas-Anna smiled and placed her hand on top of Obi-Wan’s. “You would never be disrespectful, and I do not believe for one moment that your actions in the past reflect the true you. I have known you for a long time Obi-Wan, and you were always so dedicated to the path of becoming a Knight. I know you wanted to be Master Jinn’s apprentice, and yet going down that path has resulted in sadness for both of you. I doubt if he will change his mind, and I wanted you to know there are others here who believe in you.”


Obi-Wan felt gratitude fill him, “I-I do not know what to say, I am grateful that you think I am worthy, thank you Master.”

“You do not have to say anything just yet Obi-Wan, there is plenty of time for you to think about it, and if you decide your path is with another, I will understand. I know your past has been with negotiations, and mine is with children, nevertheless, I have seen you with the little ones and you are very good with them. I will inform the Council tonight, so they know that I have asked you”

Obi-Wan could not help him self and he hugged her. Chas-Anna had given him something that Qui-Gon had not; she had searched him out to ask him to be her apprentice.

Obi-Wan headed for his apartment, he would tell Master Windu of his exciting news, and although he felt sad that he would no longer be a part of negotiating treaties, he would still become a Knight. He would be happy, and he felt thrilled that he had actually been asked to be someone’s apprentice.

In his haste he did not concentrate, and he rounded the corner only to bump into Master Jinn.

“Oh, I am sorry Master Jinn, I did not mean to bump into you, excuse me” he bowed and tried to go around the Master.

“Obi-Wan, you seem to be in hurry, perhaps you should slow down, it cannot be too easy walking with that brace on.”

“Y-yes Master Jinn I will slow down and I apologise for not concentrating on where I was going. If you will excuse me I shall be on my way”

He tried to go around Qui-Gon, however, Qui-Gon wanted to speak to him and so he placed his hand on the boys shoulder.

“Obi-Wan I would like to speak to you for a few moments if you do not mind?”

Obi-Wan did mind, however, he could not and would not be disrespectful to him. He just felt a painful urge to get away from his former master, especially after everything that had happened.

“As you wish Master Jinn”

“Good then perhaps we could sit down on this bench” they sat and Obi-Wan waited. “First of all, how is your leg?”

“It is fine thank you; Healer Ba’han will take the brace off tomorrow”

“That is good news; I thought perhaps you may be off your leg for a lot longer.”

Obi-Wan did not know what to say about that and so he remained silent.
The silence stretched for a few more moments, and Obi-Wan wondered if he should get up to leave, however, before he did Qui-Gon spoke.

“Obi-Wan, we did not talk about what happened between us on Melida/Daan, and I thought perhaps you might want to explain why you decided to remain there? Maybe if I could understand why you would give up your life’s dream of being a Jedi, to stay on a planet that has been at war for many years; I could be at peace with your decision and then we would not feel uncomfortable every time we see each other?”

A sharp pain filled Obi-Wan, he did not want to talk about Melida/Daan. It was the biggest mistake of his life and nothing he could tell Qui-Gon could explain why he did it, he didn’t even know for certain what made him turn his back on the Jedi and especially Qui-Gon. He had fought and nearly died to make Qui-Gon see him as a worthy apprentice, and yet even after he accepted him. It did not feel like true acceptance.

It felt impossible to explain, and he shook his head. “I am sorry, master. I don’t understand my self, and I do not think I could explain it to you”

Qui-Gon felt his frustration rise, and he noticed the pained expression on Obi-Wans face. Did he expect too much from Obi-Wan or was it that Obi-Wan, truly did not have the dedication to be a Jedi. “I do not want to press you about this, but if I am to understand and forgive you, at some stage you will need to tell me?”

Obi-Wan felt his own disappointment rise and he felt trapped, and his impulsive nature came to the surface. “I do not know what to say to you, so perhaps I could never make you understand, and you will never forgive me. I certainly will never forgive myself for what I did to you, and
-I-am- sorry!” he blurted and took off down the hall.

Qui-Gon felt like an idiot, he had pressured the boy, just as Tahl said he did. He sat watching Obi-Wan hobble away from him, disappearing into the turbo-lift. He realised he had tried to rush Obi-Wan, just to ease his own mind, and in the process he had upset the boy once again.

Qui-Gon needed to put his life back in perspective, and look at Obi-Wan like every one else saw him. Therefore, he decided then and there he would go to the archives and read Obi-Wans records and do some research on the boy’s past. Perhaps he could discover what made Obi-Wan such an enigma to him.


Obi-Wan rushed into his room, and fell on the bed. Why wont he leave me alone, he said he never wanted to see me again, and that I was reckless, and a disappointment, so why does he keep picking on me
His joy from earlier had left him, he could not regain the happiness he felt when Master Chas-Anna had asked him to be her apprentice. He should be happy, yet in just a few minutes Qui-Gon had turned his joy into despair again.


Qui-Gon was still sitting on the bench when Mace walked up to him. “Hello Qui-Gon have you calmed down yet, is it safe for me to sit down next to you?”

“I am not sure if you would want to sit next to me Mace, I think I have just upset Obi-Wan again.”

“What have you done now?”

“I just asked him to explain why he decided to stay on Melida/Daan, instead of coming back with me”

Mace shook his head. “You didn’t! Surely you did not ask him about that. Obi-Wan is still confused, and the healers are trying to help him come to terms with all of that, and then on top of that there was Bruck’s death. I thought you had more sense than to lay more guilt on top of the boys head... Qui-Gon you made it perfectly clear to the Council and to Obi-Wan that you no longer wanted to be responsible for him. Tell me, will you change your mind, if he tells you what you want to hear, would you take him back?”

“No Mace, I do not think I could risk taking him back, I am confused about my feelings for him, and if I am at fault for the way he turned out, then it is obvious to me I should not have an apprentice.”

Mace could see the defeat in his friend’s eyes; he knew there was no talking him out of his decision, which made Mace's decision easier. “I have to go now Qui-Gon. Will I see you at evening meal in the dining hall?”

“Yes I will see you then, I am going to the archives, and do a bit of reading”

Both men went in different directions, Mace headed for his apartment to ask Obi-Wan a very important question....

I'm glad Qui-Gon was willing to listen to what Tahl had to say, especially considering it wasn't what he wanted to hear.

I'm a bit worried he's too late though.. worried worried worried

Qui and Obi made a great team, but even I have to admit, Chas-Anna would be a great Master for Obi-Wan.

Great update

Qui-Gon is going to have to do some deep soul searching...he needs to see that Obi-Wan is so much like him. I was surprised by Obi being asked by another to be their Padawan, but that's cool. By others wanting to take Obi, maybe Qui-Gon will see that he is the one Obi belongs with. praying

Great update and thanks so much for the PM! hugs

Although Master Chas-Anna would be a great master for Obi-Wan, I think he may be happier with Master Windu. That is if Mace is planning on asking him to be his padawan. Mace would probably do more of the missions that Obi-Wan is accustomed to. I guess I'm hoping he will become Mace's padawan. praying

Another wonderful post! I'm really enjoying this story. Thank you for the PM. happy

Just when I thought things couldn't get worse between Qui-gon and Obi-wan, he had to go an ask *the* question. The guy has some serious issues, and he needs to straigthen himself out and question himself for the reasons he's acted the way he has.

Ahah, I love that Obi-wan's creche master has asked him to be her apprentice, that was so sweet. Hehe, and now I think Mace will ask him too, aha, I'm sure Obi-wan is feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment with mixed emotions ahah.

Thank you for the lovely update, it was quite enjoyable to read.
