	Title: Of Jedi and disguises Author: Amrita Glittersong Characters: Anakin, Obi-Wan Genre: Humor Timeframe: Missing scene in AOTC Summary: Anakin and Obi-Wan ponder what goes into making a proper disguise. Notes: Not much to say about this one; just another silly idea. ------------------------- Of Jedi and disguises Obi-Wan Kenobi was facing a difficult task. His Padawan, Anakin, was sitting on the other side of the table across from him. However, though Anakin was difficult, he wasn't the difficult thing at the moment. In fact, Anakin was just as perplexed by their task as his master, and was giving Obi-Wan a look of utter helplessness. "Why are we doing this?" "Because, Anakin." Obi-Wan told him, not bothering to elaborate any more than that. After ten years, he'd finally learned the answer parents all over the galaxy used when they didn't feel like going over something for the eighth time. "But Master, aren't there people in the Temple to do this sort of thing for us?" "We're Jedi, Anakin. We don't need to shove tasks upon other people simply because they're... Outside our usual realm of expertise." Obi-Wan said patiently. He waved a hand at Anakin. "Not to mention that this is very basic. We should be ashamed it is taking us this long." "Feh." Anakin responded, crossing his arms and sulking like a teenager. "What do we know about fashion anyway?" Obi-Wan just shook his head and sighed, though he inwardly agreed with his Padawan. The answer, after all, was apparently akin to 'nothing', considering they had spent the last hour trying to come up with a suitable disguise for Anakin. The Senator from Naboo, Padme Amidala, had recently been the target of at least two assassination attempts, and Anakin had been assigned to protect her, so they would be taking refugee transport to Naboo while Obi-Wan searched for Padme's would-be assassin. However, travelling as refugees meant dressing like refugees, and neither one of the Jedi duo had any idea what that meant. "I suppose we could ask the Senator." Obi-Wan suggested, controlling the slightly mischievous edge that threatened to creep into his voice. "She's already used to us being strange Jedi, at best. I don't believe she would think twice about it." "No, that would be embarassing." Anakin said, a bit too hastily. He blinked a few times, realizing he'd been a bit too quick in his reply, before deciding to elaborate. "I'm going to be protecting her; the last thing I want to do is make her think I can't even come up with a good diguise." Obi-Wan refrained from smirking as his plan to motivate Anakin worked perfectly. Idly, he wondered if playing on Anakin's crush was the wisest thing to do, but shook it off. Anakin would come to his senses, after all; it was nothing to worry about. "Alright, then, Anakin. What do you suggest?" "Well..." Anakin said, back to his unenthusiastic tone. "I don't know." "Obviously." "Didn't you ever disguise yourself on missions with Qui-Gon?" Anakin asked, sounding slightly deperate now. "Yes, though it was never anything planned or elaborate." Obi-Wan responded, thinking. "It was always simply whatever whoever around us was wearing." He considered for a moment, before continuing. "And it never fit. Either of us. We always looked very odd." "Yeah, most people aren't as tall as Qui-Gon was." Anakin agreed, before he grinned evilly. "Or as short as you are." "I am not short." Obi-Wan protested, sounding surprised and offended by the comment even though they had this discussion at least once every few weeks. "Everyone else is... Very tall." "Sure." Anakin said, rolling his eyes. "If you say so." "I do." Obi-Wan responded. "And I also say we need to focus on the task at hand, Anakin. I should have to remind you that a Jedi is going to attract a lot of attention on a refugee ship." "Fine, alright." Anakin said, sighing and crossing his arms as he sunk down in his chair dramatically. Obi-Wan ignored him. "Qui-Gon was convinced he was a master of diguise, you know." The Knight commented, returning to their previous conversation. "Really?" Anakin said, abandoning his pouting for the moment. "Why was that?" Obi-Wan pondered that. "Well, I suppose it was because he had the strange ability to hardly ever be recognized as a Jedi, though whenever he was able to plan in advance he always chose the same disguise, every time, even on Tatooine..." He trailed off, beginning to smile at Anakin, who seemed to have thought of the same thing he did. "Perhaps he was a master of disguise after all." ******************************* A few hours later as he walked down the street with Padme and R2, about to go on his first solo mission, Anakin was still proud of himself and Obi-Wan for coming up with the perfect outfit. Once they'd hit upon Qui-Gon's secret it had been easy to toss the outfit together, and Padme, Dorme, and Typho had all apparently thought it was suitable as they hadn't made any comments or funny faces. 'Thanks, Master Qui-Gon.' Anakin thought happily as he walked along.

	Perfect! I love seeing the boys getting along. "Feh." Anakin responded, crossing his arms and sulking like a teenager. "What do we know about fashion anyway?"

	VaderLVR64 - Thanks! Hehe, they had to get along at some point in the movie aside from the elevator scene, evern if it was offscreen. Ah, ponchos. Where would we be without them? earlybird-obi-wan - Thanks! It was fun to write. KELIA - Obi and Ani would be so lost without Qui-Gon's help, even if only through memories.

	I love the idea of a poncho being appropriate garb regardless of the planet! Great connection to make, Amrita! A very wonderful missing scene. -----signature----- Hold your own Know your name Go your own way Mortality: http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/30379374

	'Thanks, Master Qui-Gon.' Anakin thought happily as he walked along. 'Ponchos are good for everything.' That was perfect! You've made my day, Amrita. I just read all four of your Tales from the Temple stories and instead of doing a reply for each, I thought I'd condense my thoughts into one. The humor in these is top-notch and I love the way you write Obi-Wan and Anakin. Their relationship feels real because even though you've captured them in their better moments, there's still tension between them. Even "brothers" get on each others' nerves. I love how this one and the one about Jocasta fit perfectly into the timeline of the movie. I wish these scenes had been included in the movie. They're hysterical. Great job on all of these stories, Amrita! If you post any more (and I certainly hope you do) could you possibly PM me a link? Thanks. -----signature----- "It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow." - Robert Goddard The Padawan Chronicles - http://boards.theforce.net/before_the_saga/b10475/27250281/p1/?54

	Alley_Skywalker - Hehe, Glad you liked. There has to be a reason why ponchos are everywhere in Star Wars. The Musical Jedi - Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Nienna_Narmolanya - Thanks! I'm glad you liked them all so much! I do intend to post more of them (number four, as this one is technically number five) is about half done, and I've got ideas for a few others. I'll be sure to PM you when I post them, and thanks again! -----signature----- Deceptions: http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=26426189 My SW videos: http://youtube.com/profile?user=Glittersong "I was trying to sound pompous."
