    I wanted to post this before the next JA book incase something happens to Tahl. Enjoy!

    Timeframe: Takes place right around the time of Deceptions- Obi is 13.

    Spoilers: JA books

    Archive: Wolfie, Gimpy, and Telly. Anyone else I've also given previous premission to that I forgot :) If anyone else wants this (or, heck, any of my stories) just let me know.

    Author's notes: This little story is all thanks to Kelly, who, unbeknownst to her until now, got this little plot bunny to start biting. Although, I would have liked it if she had written this, for some reason, unknown to me and I'm sure a great many people, she doesn't feel she could write fanfiction. I have to disagree, but like trying to get a bantha to brake-dance, trying to get Kelly to write is proving more difficult than I thought. However, I am no daunted so?Kelly, you really should write fanfiction. There, I've said my peace.

    So, this is dedicated to Kelly, whose wonderful friendship and kind words have always made me want to write more stories. Thank so much! So, without further ado?

    I try not to let it bother me, but some how I can't help it. It bothers me *so* deeply. So much, that every time I see them together my stomach drops because I know that I am forgotten. When he sees her, she becomes his whole world. Whatever he can do to help her, he will. Whatever she wants, he'll get her. Even when she doesn't want him near her, he'll stay by her. My Master and Tahl have a bond that I am envious of.

    I know what I feel is wrong- I know that jealously is unbecoming of a Jedi Padawan, but I just can't help it. I am envious of Tahl- there's no other way to say it. I want what she has with my Master. I want to be the one that Qui-Gon will bug until I relent and tell him everything. I want to be the one that he will go great lengths to help, but I'm not.

    I'm only his Padawan.

    The boy that he never wanted and tried so hard never to get.

    I'm to blame solely for the lack of a bond that my Master and I share. After Melida/Daan, everything we had started to have was shattered and I know he turned to Tahl for guidance. She became the person in his life that didn't betrayed him- she became his life when I left. Once I came back he couldn't let go of her and hasn't.

    She's the person that Qui-Gon can trust. He knows he can't trust me, no matter how badly I let him know he can. He already knows that I am quick to betray and who would want to hold someone like that close to his or her heart?

    Of course, my Master cares for me- I know this, but I'm second in his heart. I know, even if he doesn't, that he loves Tahl. Whether as a lover, or a close friend I can't deceiver, but he loves her. He only cares for me.

    Many times I've seen how deeply he cares for her. Every time he watches her sightless eyes focus on a task before her that she cannot see, but still attempts- his heart swells with pride. Every time he sees her misstep on account of not being able to see- his heart breaks. Every time that she pushes him away- his heart pursues her. His heart is hers and it's breaking mine.

    Every time I see him looking at her with pride for some small task she completes, I feel my breath stop in my throat. Why can't I be the one that he has that gaze for? Why can't I be the one that gets his praise, his devotion, and his love?

    Tahl may be flawed, her sightless eyes will forever remain unseeing, but I am flawed, too, and mine is not physical. I am an unworthy Padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn, he deserves so much better than I can ever do.

    He deserves Tahl.

    One day, I'm certain he and Tahl will complete each other and Obi-Wan Kenobi will slowly fad into the night. I'm ready to accept that because he loves her and I love him. Anything that will make him happy, I will give him. He is my world and only should be given the best that can be offered

    That was very sad, poor Obi. Our little self doubting padawan would react that way. I liked that even though he was jealous, he still wanted his master to have whatever made him happiest.

    A sequel is definetely needed, one with lots of mush as Qui-Gon assures Obi that he is also very much loved and valued. Please don't keep us waiting too long!

    Wow, Susie! You captured Obi-Wan's sense of melancholy and his own intense sadness at his 'lack' of a bond compared to the one that Tahl shared with Qui-Gon superbly well! I would loved to read a sequel, if you ever write one! :) :)

    Awww thst was sad...
    I did notice in the special edition book how Qui-gon did choose to look out for Tahl instead of helping Ob-wan at his own Murder Trial! So course he would feel that way, I think that a little sequel for this would be great.

    I liked that a lot, and I hope you write some from young Obi's POV. Getting inside a character's head and sorting it out so well is quite a talent. :D

    That was, so sad, but really good. Why don't you write a sequel about Obi-Wan and Anakin?

    Thank you everyone!!! I'm glad everyone thought I did a good job of handling Obi-Wan's thoughts. I normally don't stray in 1st person just cause I don't do as well.

    Glad to see I did okay.

    As for a sequel, I'm thinking about waiting until the next JA book- then I can see what happens and go off of that.

    Thank you all again. You've made my day ;)

    Hmm, Obi and Anakin...could work... :)

    What a lovely story, I felt so bad for poor Obi. I'm sure he's mistaken about how Qui-Gon feels for him, but teens feel things so deeply. (I should know, I've got one) ;) Yes, a sequel would be nice.

    Just stopping in to see if you had written anymore Jedi Susie. . .

    Hey ewen, some of us read JA for Qui, not Obi. Not that there is anything wrong with the boy, but I just find the man much more interesting. And, there will be lots of Obi in Ep II & III, but JA is all we get of Qui! Besides fanfics, of course. I'll be very sorry if Tahl is killed off (although I'm willing to bet that she will be :( )

    Well, y'all might be getting your wish fairly soon. I've slowly begun to think of plots for a sequel. However, it has yet to be written or even put into complete thoughts.

    Just wanted to let you all know that something is stiring in my head :)

    Thanks to everyone who has been so wonderful with FB. I never thought this would be so well recieved. I'm happy that it was...very much so.
