Challenge: Seven Dwarfs and Obi-Wan
Title: Mission Complete
Author: Laine_Snowtrekker
Characters: Obi-Wan, Anakin (mostly)
Genre: Not quite sure
Timeframe: The Saga
Notes: Not my sandbox, not my toys--but fun to play with
NOtes2: Obi-Wan sneezes, snores, and is happy. I hope this counts.

Mission Complete

Obi-Wan opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the familiar ceiling of the Healers' Ward. He groaned softly and turned his head. For that movement, he was rewarded with a wave of pain and the second sight he saw: his Padawan, curled lankily in the plastichair next to the bed.

"Anakin," he said quietly.

Anakin instantly awoke, unfolding himself from the chair. "You're awake!"

"It would be appear so," Obi-Wan said. He took in a deep breath, winced, and coughed. Then he sneezed.

"That's like the ten millionth time you've made some noise," Anakin said.

"That's impossible, Padawan. I have not sneezed that many times," Obi-Wan said. He looked at Anakin quizzically. "Have I?"

"I counted coughs and snores as well, Master," Anakin said patiently. "The Healers say that you're their noisiest patient."

One of Obi-Wan's eyebrows arched. "I've heard that certain apprentices are in the running for that particular title," he said.

A slight blush tinged the teen's cheeks and his eyes grew defiant. "I do not whine, Master! I just don't like shots!"

Obi-Wan sneezed again. "Did you speak to the Council?"

Anakin nodded. "Yes, Master, while you were unconscious. The mission was a success--you know, peace kept, evil held at bay. You have been quite pleased if you had been awake to know it."

"What do the Healers say?"

"The main healer said you'd be fine in a few days," Anakin said. He flashed one of his wicked grins. "The giggly apprentice healers want to keep you longer. I don't know why they'd want to keep you, Master. I'm a lot less trouble."

"No, Anakin. You're a different type of trouble," Obi-Wan quipped. He looked at Anakin closely. The Padawan was still wearing the robes he'd worn on the mission, which by now had been stained, ripped, and slept-in. "You haven't slept, Anakin," Obi-Wan said.

"Couldn't sleep with all the noise you make," Anakin teased cheerily. But his eyes belied his having another feeling altogether.

Obi-Wan frowned slightly before sneezing again. "You should shower and rest," he said, coughing.

"Not while you're in here," Anakin said, shifting uneasily in his chair. "And don't be so grumpy, Master! You do the exact same thing when we've switched places."

"Anakin, it wasn't your fault," Obi-Wan said gently.

"Yes, it was," the teen protested. "I didn't get there fast enough--all that water, and it was so cold." He pulled his cloak tighter around his shoulders. "And there was so many of them--I can hardly believe that we got out."

"But the point is that we did get out," Obi-Wan said. "And we got out together." He reached over and put a hand on his Padawan's shoulder. "The mission isn't over until we're back together and safe, Anakin, and now we are both."

He sneezed again, then tried to smile. "Did you save the speeder?"

Anakin's lips quirked into a smile. "Mostly."

"Now do you understand why I hate flying?" Obi-Wan joked, looking at Anakin to ensure the boy wasn't upset over what he'd said. He wasn't; he was now grinning.

"Together?" Anakin asked. "As a team?"

"Always," Obi-Wan said, and coughed again.

***

Obi-Wan watched silently as his old friend opened his eyes; he was frightened, nervous, happy at this first meeting between friends and former enemies.

"Obi-Wan?" Anakin asked. He looked down at himself, a look of shock on his face. He glanced at Obi-Wan. "I have all my limbs," he said, a note of suprise in his voice.

Obi-Wan walked over to his former apprentice and wrapped him in a hug. "I'm so sorry," he said softly as he let go.

"Master, it wasn't your fault," Anakin started.

"Yes, it was," Obi-Wan protested. "I chose to not see. I let you fall so far! I..."

Anakin held out a hand to stop Obi-Wan's words. "Obi-Wan," he said, and the name sounded good coming from him, to both sets of ears, "don't be grumpy!" He flashed one of his formerly famous grins. "It was my choice, not your training. If not for you, I wouldn't have known what the Light was like. The point is, Obi-Wan, that we're together and safe."

The man who was once Vader sobered, regarding Obi-Wan with solemn blue eyes. "I'm the one who's sorry," he said.

Both were silent for a moment, remembering the past.

Obi-Wan's lips twitched into a truly happy smile. "Let's tell Luke that the mission's over," he said.

"I was thinking the same thing," Anakin said.

"Great minds think alike, then," Obi-Wan said.

"How about you and Master Yoda go first? He'll be expecting the both of you to be there."

Obi-Wan shook his head. "We'll go first, Anakin. But I think he's expecting you, too."

***

They watched as Luke turned, leaned against a tree, and looked off into the forest. Obi-Wan and Yoda appeared first, and glimmering in the darkness of the early night, smiled at Luke. Obi-Wan's smile grew wider as another man joined them--a Jedi, a father of a hero, a man named Anakin Skywalker. They all nodded at Luke, grinning like they'd landed half a ship again, and watched as Leia came, slung her arm over her brother's shoulder, and took him back to the victory celebration.

Anakin turned to Obi-Wan. "We're a team again," Anakin said. "Right?"

"Always," Obi-Wan replied.

Oh,I like that...the continuity especially.

Anakin held out a hand to stop Obi-Wan's words. "Obi-Wan," he said, and the name sounded good coming from him, to both sets of ears, "don't be grumpy!" He flashed one of his formerly famous grins. "It was my choice, not your training. If not for you, I wouldn't have known what the Light was like. The point is, Obi-Wan, that we're together and safe."

The team, always together. Wonderful.

What a lovely vignette! applause The ending was especially beautiful, but I admit that I loved this section:

"That's like the ten millionth time you've made some noise," Anakin said.

"That's impossible, Padawan. I have not sneezed that many times," Obi-Wan said. He looked at Anakin quizzically. "Have I?"

"I counted coughs and snores as well, Master," Anakin said patiently. "The Healers say that you're their noisiest patient."

That was wonderful.

I don't know why I enjoy poor Obi at the healers so much tongue .

I loved the "always a team" theme throughout the story.

Very nice job on this

This was very beautiful, specially how u tied it with the end of ROTJ applause

I enjoyed the bits of humor there aswell... my favorite part was this one:
One of Obi-Wan's eyebrows arched. "I've heard that certain apprentices are in the running for that particular title," he said.

A slight blush tinged the teen's cheeks and his eyes grew defiant. "I do not whine, Master! I just don't like shots!"

laugh

Great job with this one grin

leia_naberrie: Ah, but this is pre-AoTC. Anakin is wondering why they giggle over his Master more than over him. Typical teenage guyness, I was thinking. Thanks for coming and having a good laugh!
