	Title: Another Mission, Another Scummy Bar Author: Laine_Snowtrekker Characters: Obi-Wan, Anakin, random OCs Era: Pre-AOTC (Anakin's eighteen, Obi-Wan is 32. If my addition is correct.) Summary: During a mission, someone pulls a prank. Someone else is the recipient of said prank. A/N: This is my submission for the Sithly Secret Santa Exchange. Another Mission, Another Scummy Bar It was another scummy bar. This particular slimehole was named 'The Sabaac Pot', and it was filled to almost overflowing with half-inebriated customers listening to some local talent warbling out some song about lost love and friendship--or enduring love, or some sentimental drivel like that. Anakin Skywalker, apprentice of Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, always thought that it was the type of stuff that his Master sang while in the 'fresher. They had swaggered into the bar, dressed as well-to-do shippers who were deigning to enter such a place. Anakin also wore a silverish hat that he had tucked his braid up into--there'd been no point in a disguise unless he could also hide the braid. Obi-Wan's elaborately woven money belt positively jingled with the creds in it. In all actuality, they were on this particular planet and in this particular bar to investigate the whereabouts of a missing Senator's daughter, and Anakin's master had said that bars and cantinas were the best places to find out information--and to get drinks. "No drinkin' alcoholic stuff," Obi-Wan told Anakin, who groaned. Obi-Wan was playing the part of a concerned, almost over-bearing father--Anakin supposed that he didn't find that role altogether difficult to maintain, but he didn't mention that. "But I'm of age on this planet, Dad!" he said. Obi-Wan grinned. "Because I said so. Get yerself one of those virgin drinks." "What are you gonna get?" "A not-so-virgin drink. I'm your father, remember?" Thus ended the conversation, and Anakin sulkily sauntered over to a booth, slid in, and slouched there. He motioned over a waitress and ordered something non-alcoholic. No sense in making Obi-Wan angry again. Anakin watched as Obi-Wan went to the counter. He surveyed the room, idly stirring the drink. Then he rolled his eyes to himself when he heard his Master's order. That man was so predictable! On missions, he always wanted his drinks 'shaken and not stirred'. Said it was to eliminate poisoning risks. A poorly-dressed man dropped into the seat next to Anakin. His eyes were wide, and he was wringing his hands together. Anakin glowered at the man, who smelled like Obi-Wan's favorite drinks. "Seat's taken," he said. "By who?" the man said. "My father," Anakin replied. He pointed towards Obi-Wan. "That man over there?" "Oh, sorry," the man said. He eyed Obi-Wan, then Anakin. "You shippers?" "What's it ta ya?" Anakin said. "I'm lookin' for shippers," he said. "Nobody's been willin' to take my cargo. I need to get it off-planet, and fast." "Why? Is it hot?" The man bobbed his head, then leaned in closer to Anakin. "Hotter than hot. My bosses said that rumors been flyin' around. That Jedi's been dispatched to get it." Anakin straightened up from his slouch. "Really?" he asked. "I do love a good challenge." The man kept nervously nodding. "My bosses want the cargo gone, off-planet, out of sight, out of mind. But there's been no takers." He eyed Anakin's outfit again. "But maybe you all's just too respectable for this sort of thing. To do me a favor." "Hey, no favors, buddy. This sort of thing costs extra." "Whatever you ask, I can pay it. Like I said, they want this cargo off their hands." "Let me talk with my father, see what he says. Maybe we can help ya," Anakin said, rising and making his way to Obi-Wan's side. "Dad," he said. Obi-Wan raised one eyebrow at him. "Son?" he asked, putting down his tumbler. "What is it?" "A man is askin' us to ship somethin' for him. Somethin' hot. Real hot. So hot that Jedi are chasin' it," Anakin said, grinning and adjusted his hat. "His employers are desperate, willin' to pay anythin'. But I said that I had ta talk ta ya first." Obi-Wan looked over Anakin's shoulder and at the man. He was glancing around nervously. "Good job," Obi-Wan said to Anakin. "Go ahead and make the deal." Anakin nodded, went back to the booth and slid in. "So?" the man said impatiently. "Ya too respectable?" Anakin shook his head. "Nope. One question. What type of cargo is it?" "A person," the man replied in a whisper. "They don't want to kill it, just take it off their hands. What's the cost?" "We don't do slaves," Anakin said fiercely. "Not a slave," came the reply. "Ransom." "Ah, that we do do," Anakin said. "Cost is the basic fee of ten hundred, plus fifty cause we'll be tryin' to outrun Jedi. Plus, there's somethin' that I'd like ya ta do. Is that okay?" "Yes, fine," the man said. "What's the docking bay you folks is at?" "One-one-three-eight," Anakin said. "Be there at 0200, with cargo and payment." "All right. What's the extra ya want?" Anakin grinned, leaned in and whispered. *** Half an hour later, the man had left to secure the cargo and payment. Anakin didn't care if they got the payment as long as they got the cargo. Not like Master would let them keep the payment for themselves anyway. The contact man had also spoken to the owner of the establishment. Anakin strolled over to his father's side and put a hand on the man's shoulder. "All set," he said. "We're to be at the ship by 0200." Obi-Wan nodded. "Good." He glanced at Anakin's hand. "Why is your hand on my shoulder?" "Oh, because you're such a good father to me," the eighteen-year-old said as a spotlight spun and landed on Obi-Wan. The local crooner was beckoning towards him. "You sir, with the young man's hand on his shoulder, come up here and sing!" "I don't sing," Obi-Wan replied with a dismissive wave of his hand, trying to sound thoroughly blasted to the other patrons. "Yes, he does," Anakin said. "In the shower. He's real good." Obi-Wan glared at Anakin, but somehow found himself up on stage holding a microphone. If he found out that Anakin was behind this, he would have to kill the boy. The crooner stepped over to him, smiling. "The crowd appreciates a little song-and-dance," she explained, then told him what the dance moves were. Then she indicated the machine where the words would be read off from. "It's a duet." "You're kiddin'," Obi-Wan said. "Just do it. It'll be fun." Fun? Was this lady crazy? Fun was not standing on a stage while half-drunk, singing his heart out to half-drunk patrons and swaying his hips, hopping on one foot, and leaping across the stage. Fun was practicing lightsaber katas or reading a good book--or disciplining one's very, very young apprentice, who would not be Knighted until it rained on Tatooine. But, in order to keep in role, Obi-Wan begrudingly obliged. He sang the crazy lady's duet, which was about how love was a many splendoured thing, how it lifted beings up to where they belonged. It sounded like the drivel that Anakin listened to when clipping flimsy pictures of Senator Amidala from the newsrags--though Anakin didn't know that Obi-Wan knew about the clippings. He added his own touches to the dance, twirling and leaping, then dipping the crazy lady. Unfortunately, the crowd--half-drunk as they were--loved it and kept calling for encores. Finally, he was allowed to descend from the stage and stumble to his beaming apprentice's side. "It's 0100," Anakin said. "Let's get going." "Fine with me," Obi-Wan replied as they headed to the docking bay. He didn't notice the holocamera in Anakin's hand. *** The cargo was delivered--it was indeed the Senator's daughter, drugged to the gills but very much alive--and the payment was made. The man had looked at Anakin, then said, "Satisfied?" And Anakin had replied, "Oh, very much so." But Obi-Wan had made no notice of that, figuring that Anakin was keeping in-role. And he didn't think anything of it until Winter Fete, when he found a brightly wrapped package on the kitchenette's counter. The card said "To Master Obi-Wan" on it, so he obliged to Anakin's wishes as conveyed through the card and opened it, reminding himself that it was probably another possession that he couldn't keep openly. Inside was a holoalbum, filled with pictures of Obi-Wan in random embarrassing moments from throughout the past year. The last couple pictures were of him dancing on stage with that scummy bar's local crooner--one was rather a good shot, of him dipping that crazy lady. "I should never have taught him how to use that holocamera," he muttered. "Anakin!!!" Anakin padded out to the kitchen, just wearing his sleep pants. "Morning, Master," he said cheerfully. He glanced at what Obi-Wan was looking at. "Do you like it?" "All those times, did you set me up?" "Ask me no questions, you'll get no lies," Anakin said, a mischievious glint in his eyes. "Or, in Yoda-speak, it would be 'No questions you ask, no lies you receive'." "That's Master-Yoda-speak to you," Obi-Wan said. "Although," Anakin said thoughtfully, taking the album and flipping through the pages. "This one of you sleeping with a stuffed Ewok is priceless. Or the one with the lady from 'The Sabaac Pot'. Perhaps Master Tachi would like a copy?" Obi-Wan narrowed his gaze. "You wouldn't." "Oh, I would, and I can," he replied. "Not if you're in the medward, my very young apprentice." "Threats, Master? Aren't those of the Dark Side?" "So is impish behavior, you who will not be Knighted until fully mature. Which is when you're forty." Anakin smiled his not-yet-famous grin. "So, do you like it, Master?" Obi-wan sighed. When would the boy be Knighted, and therefore be the Council's problem? Although, knowing my luck, I'll be on the Council then. "Yes, I do like it, Anakin. Thank you very much. Now, go get ready for meditations." Anakin smiled again as he rushed to get ready. Obi-Wan flipped through the pages again, then fingered his beard, then thought, Anakin does sleep with a stuffed nerf. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This was for hyperspace_police who requested that I make a story with prequel Obi-Wan in an embarrassing situation.

	LilyHobbitJedi: Yeah, I've always seen Anakin as a prankster. Alley_Skywalker: The line that inspired that was the line about Anakin sleeping with a stuffed nerf--and I thought to myself, 'What would Obi-Wan sleep with?" KELIA: Yes, poor Obi-Wan. I pity the man. Anakin's just sneaky enough to pull it off, though. I mean, he is a teenager. palpyisgod2: I'm glad you caught the Bond reference. You see, it's joke between solojones and the readers of her lovely story. We once discussed how Obi-Wan was the James Bond of the Star Wars universe. And the Indiana Jones.
