    OK this is the idea of a weird little bunny. I wrote this during school today. It's humor, not rolling in the aisles kinda funny, but, hopefully, cute and mildly entertaining. [face_smile]

    Era: JA
    Genre: Humor
    Summary: Obi-Wan is not afraid... or is he? [face_devil]

    A Jedi Knows Not Fear




    Obi-Wan Kenobi was not afraid. He simply refused to be. There was no way he was going to let his emotions control him. He was not afraid. He was a Jedi Padawan. He would not give in to fear.

    Lightning split the sky beyond his window. Blue-green eyes darted around the dim room nervously- from surprise, he told himself, not fear. There was none of that for Obi-Wan, not even after having spent the whole three-day hyperspace trip to Ungava reading horror stories. Not even when the Planetary Governor's house was so old and creepy and probably haunted. Jedi did not get scared.

    Thunder clashed outside. Obi-Wan's hands shook. He wanted to whimper- no, he thought. He did not want to whimper, he was not afraid. At least he wouldn't be if it weren't so dark and stormy and creeky on this planet. The horror stories he'd read, of course, had absolutely nothing to do with it. Qui-Gon had told him not to read them. The Padawan had shrugged, saying that, at thirteen years of age, he was not afraid of creepy stories.

    "You will be," Master Qui-Gon had said. Obi-Wan had proven him wrong. Those sorts of tales were entertaining, not frightening (at least, not for aspiring Jedi.) Well, the one with the Dark Side witch was a tad disquieting- he could just imagine the rustle of the ancient hag's skirts as she charged her victims mercilessly. Speaking of which, what was that weird noise? He tried not to think about it. Instead the boy's thoughts turned to the tale of that headless mass murderer, the one who crept up on suspecting travellers in or near graveyards. The last sighting of him had been only four years ago, right here on Ungava. A merchant coming home from a trip had felt, from completely out of the blue, a frigid hand grab him by the shoulder. The moments preceeding the poor man's escape had been among the worst of his life, he later reported.

    Suddenly, the lights went out altogether. The small room was plunged into blackness. Obi-Wan jumped a bit. Briefly he thought of running to Qui-Gon. He liked to think, later on, that bravery kept him from doing so. It did not. Most likely his teenaged pride told him that he could not run and hide under his Master's robe. But the ensuing minutes were very difficult. He did not know what to do. It was late, and he knew he ought to go to bed, but he was too anxious to move. And seriously- what in stars was that sound? It had begun to grate on his nerves.

    I'm not scared, Obi-Wan reminded himself desperately. There is no fear. There's.... Oh, Force! His train of thought was derailed by another clap of thunder. And, as if he weren't already frightened enough (but he wasn't really frightened at all, was he?) a large hand suddenly clamped down on his shoulder. Obi-Wan yelped and jumped in the darkness. He spun, with Force enhanced reflexes, ready to meet any threat, and collided with Qui-Gon.

    "Master?" He was too stunned to say anything more.

    "Padawan. Care to tell me what you're doing standing here in the dark?"

    "It.... I.... Didn't the lights go out for you, too?"

    "It's fixed now," Qui-Gon said, and turned the lights back on. He clearly took in the book of horror stories lying on Obi-Wan's bed, but said nothing about it. The Apprentice hung his head. After all he'd done to look brave and smart, just once, he'd still managed to make a fool of himself.

    "Obi-Wan. Look at me."

    Obediently, he met the older man's gaze.

    "Padawan, I have to tell you that you are extraordinarily brave, even for a Jedi, as I have said many times. You don't need this-" here
