HIDING MASTER SARIEL


Yap! Yap.... Yap! Yap! Yap... Yap...Yap! Yap.... Yap!

"Obi-Wan!"

Yap! Yap! Yap!

"Obi-Wan!" Qui-Gon yelled.

Yap!

"Yes, Master?" the young man said lazily.

Yap... Yap!

"Keep that pup quiet. Do you hear me?" Qui-Gon said sternly.

Yap... Yap...Yap! Yap!

"Obi-Wan! Do you hear me?" Qui-Gon's voice strained.

"That's nice, Master," came the calm reply.

Qui-Gon sprung from the kitchen table he was seated at and flew through the door to the living area. Obi-Wan was seated on the sofa, his eyes glued to a data reader that was in his hand, obviously engrossed in its contents - and completely oblivious to everything going on around him.

Yap!

The Jedi master walked to stand in front of the young Jedi and grabbed the data reader from his hand.

"Hey! I'm reading that," Obi-Wan said, sounding more than a little miffed.

"Correction, padawan. You WERE reading it," Qui-Gon said. "Now, I think that I was talking to you." He paused to see if Obi-Wan was finally listening to him. When the padawan turned his eyes on him, he continued. "You need to keep Master Sariel quiet. If anyone hears her, then you will have to give her away."

"But I've had her for a week and no one knows about her," Obi-Wan whined.

"Are you so sure, padawan? I think not. Just this morning, Mace told me that someone has complained to him about a yapping sound they've been hearing for several days."

Obi-Wan seemed to consider what Qui-Gon said. "But having a pet is not wrong for us, is it, Master?"

"I suppose not, padawan, but it's the way we got her that would not sit well with the Council. As you yourself said, Jedi are not to accept gifts from people like ambassadors. And we can not lie about it if they ask. I want you to keep her quiet. Do you understand me, Obi-Wan?"

"Yes, Master." Obi-Wan stood and picked up the drangmul pup. "I think I'll take her to my quarters and feed her. She's usually quiet when she's eating."

"You always feed her when I tell you to keep her quiet. Obi-Wan, she's getting fat," Qui-Gon pointed out.

"Fat? You think she's fat, Master?" the young Jedi asked, frowning.

"Just look at her, padawan," Qui-Gon answered. "She's definitely not starving."

Obi-Wan stared down at the small, light brown, furry pup in his arms. "Well, I guess she's put on a little weight."

"A little weight? Padawan, she's-" He was interrupted by the door chime.

Both men froze, eyes wide, staring at one another.

The chime rang again.

"P-padawan," the elder Jedi stuttered. "Take Master Sariel in my bedroom and keep her quiet. That's an order, padawan."

"Yes, Master," Obi-Wan rushed the small pup away to his master's bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Qui-Gon took a moment to calm himself before he went to open the door.

The door opened to reveal Mace Windu. "Qui-Gon," he said.

"Mace," Qui-Gon said hurriedly, "What brings you here?"

Mace's eyes looked past Qui-Gon and seemed to scan the living room behind the tall Jedi.

"Is something wrong, Mace?" Qui-Gon masked his worry with a smile.

"No" he said still looking bey

 

LOL, that was cute Cas

I can't believe I didn't read that at ff.n

Qui and Obi are so cute when they panic

Loved the ending as well. You are braver than I to attempt humor. My sense of humor is so dry and sarcastic i wouldn't dare attempt to get anyone else to understand it

 

Very cute and endearing, Cascadia.

Good job.

 

Cascadia - A wonderfully light, sweet and funny piece.

Exactly how many shades of red did Obi-Wan turn when faced with the real Master Sariel - I would like to have seen that!

Great job.
