~For Better or Worse~-- New Post! 7/23

Mmmmmmmmmm Ewan singing.

 

UP!!!

 

We want more Obi-Wan!!!

 

Hey, Val.

I'm reading this, may take me awhile. I'll tell you what I think as I go along.

Your Star Wars friend from the Christy List,

Empress

 

Well val solo, I'll tell you what I think:

IT"S AWESOME!!!!!!! POST MORE!

 

BETTER than Awesome! It's Briliant!!!

 

UP!

 

Just upping this in the hopes Val will come looking for it soon.

Sorry to those who thought it was a new post....

 

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? A post!!! This is no lie, folks... I have really finally gotten the chance to sit down and work on this like I've been dying to do for about a month!!! Yay!

By the way, I finally got to see Moulin Rouge and I loved it! (Like there was a doubt?!) Ewan is beyond description...... *sigh* He really needs to make an album. His voice is quite intoxicating!!!

Anyhow, here it is... the next little part. There'll be some major action coming up soon (I'm not saying exactly what kind, however! Hopefully you'll stick with me to find out.) I have so many places I want to go with this story, but I guess I have to tone it down or it will become an epic!

Enjoy!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The trio made their way through the crowded nighttime streets of Coruscant to the posh restaurant where Adara Lon would be waiting. Anakin was the only one who had been talking since they left the temple. Sari chuckled under her breath. She didn't know who was more nervous between them--- her at the thought of spending the evening with a woman who apparently wanted the same thing she did... Obi-Wan, or Anakin at having to figure out how to handle his master's new relationship. She could tell Obi-Wan was also a bit uneasy but wasn't sure exactly why.

Sari knew that Adara Lon was expecting Obi-Wan to be her own escort, not Sari's. She couldn't help but wonder how he would handle the situation. It was apparent that she was a woman used to getting what she wanted. The fluttering anxiousness in Sari's stomach kept growing until she thought she might throw up.

Obi-Wan came to a halt on the sidewalk and took Sari's small hand in his larger one. With that one small touch he was certain about the nervousness he sensed coming from her. She was like an open book to him, and he longed to read more of her 'pages'.

Anakin, however, was still walking and talking, oblivious to the fact that he was now continuing on alone. Obi-Wan snickered as he watched his padawan receive strange looks from several passersby. "He has no idea we've stopped." Then he turned his attention back to the beautiful woman at his side. "Are you all right, Sari?"

*How did he do that?*, she thought. He always seemed to sense when she was struggling with something in her mind... or heart. "I'm.... I'm okay," she replied lamely, taking a deep breath and offering a weak smile. Obi-Wan gazed into her eyes and knew all was not well.

"I don't believe you," he stated flatly. She bristled at his claim. "You know," he said stepping closer to her and lowering his face to hers, "it's near impossible to successfully lie to a Jedi." He gently brushed her cheek with his hand and smiled as it brought a slight flush to her face. Sari grinned at his teasing.

"Is that so?" she asked mockingly feigning disinterest.

"Yes, it is," he answered, pulling her hand to his lips for a quick kiss. Never before this woman had he felt such a desire to be near someone, to touch someone. "Especially when the Jedi is focusing all of his energy and attentions on his chosen target." His hungry hazel eyes lingered on her soft face, and she could feel more than her face heating up under his sensual scrutiny.

"Is that what you're doing?" she whispered. "Targeting me?" She had to admit, the idea of being his sole focus was quite satisfying.

"Who else is there?" he replied, sincerely oblivious himself to the throngs of people on the streets around them. To him, there was only Sari that existed in his world at this moment.

"Maybe Adara Lon?" she ventured, wishing she hadn't as soon as the words left her mouth.

"What?" Obi-Wan said, startled, his brow wrinkling into a frown. Sari pulled her hand out of his and looked away.

"Oh, never mind."

It took a few seconds for Obi-Wan to comprehend what she had said and why she had said it. A sly grin spread across his face, and he cupped Sari's chin in his hand forcing her to look at him. "Sari Zendar--- are you jealous?" He had seen her like this once before

 

Wait *rubs her eyes* am I seeing this correctly???? I NEW POST!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes, Jedi-Jade, believe it...... It is a post.

About your signature though...... I have to disagree. You see, when I saw MR, I am absolutely positive that it was ME he was singing to!!

 

Sorry to say this, but you're BOTH wrong...he sang to ME! Got it?

YAY! A POST!!! Hope the next won't take so long! Obi's so sweet! And silly Ani! Keeps on walking/talking, and not noticing they had stoped.

 

UP!

 

Up again!

 

and yet again!

 

I'm just going to think happy thoughts of Ewan until there's another post!

 

me too, but I'll keep this UP so Val can find it!

 

Yes, I finally found this one again, makes sense now that I finally caught up with The General Defender, both are great stories.

 

Uppers!

 

Up yet again!

 

up!

 

Hey, I'm off for vacation for two weeks and come back to a wonderful new post! This is so much fun, val. I love the way you describe each of the characters and their perceptions of the situation - Anakin and his eating - LOL! And I practically cheered out loud when Sari gave that scheming woman a hug, just to keep her off of Obi-Wan. That was truly ingenious.

 

Indeed Cindé of Naboo!

Now Val, how about giving the rest of us a new post? PLEEEEEEAAASSSEEEE???

 

I AM SO SORRY, GUYS!!! I've been just awful lately, I know, and I apologize. Being home with my 2 year old all day is a quite demanding thing! It's easier to put up with my classroom of ten year olds the other nine months of the year!

Anyway, like I've said, I have so many ideas for this story, and I want a happy ending, but I'm also feeling compelled to have it fit in with canon. I'm torn. I also have thoughts of sending them back to Teemar to check on her family. I've just got to figure out what to do with Adara. Should I drag her through the whole thing or have her meet a quick, untimely end a-la Sari? Thoughts anyone?

*And Cinde, I'm loving your Game of Hearts story!

 

Well I can't wait to read whatever you have written! Good luck with your kid!
