Jedi do not cry. (my short JA)

I'm leaving now. I said good-bye to everyone. I may have won the fight with Bruck, but I
lost the war. Masters tell me Farming is a good business. They say that to be nice. A
transport waits outside. I slip my bag into the back as the air speeder ripps through the air to the landing pad.
The pilot looks at a mirror in front and sees me sitting so sadly. 'Another one going alone,'
he thinks. In his time he had taken a few Jedi Initiates to the landing pad. Many had gone
with sad looks on their faces and one had almost cried. But not all let it show. A few kept
the Jedi posture and acted like they knew they were probably going to work for the rest of their lives. It was a sad thing to go through, but many must suffer.
I look out the window to see many things. I?ve lived a sheltered life, but now I go out into
the World and am going away on my own. What was it that Garen said? ?At least you?ll
be going on an adventure.?
Yes, that was it. Adventure. I miss Bant and everyone already.
We are here. I step out and take my bags. As I walk to the Ship I will be leaving on, I feel
the urge to cry. But I must not cry.
Jedi do not cry.
I get on the ship and take one last look at Corusant. It will probably be my last. I feel tears in my eyes but I blink them away.
Jedi do not cry.

 

MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That is so sad. But very well written.

 

Uhhh, that was kinda the end but I can make it into, maybe one or two more posts.

 

Up! Next post will be in Qui's POV.

 

More! <<and more tissues, please. sniff>>

 

Ohh...poor Obi. It's okay to cry...really, even if you are a Jedi.
Can't wait for more!!!

 

Thanks guys. Post soon I promise!

 

?I did the right thing,? I try to convince myself. ?The boy was to fierce!? I can?t forget that
haunting look the boy gave me before I left. He looked so alone and sad. I shake my head.
?No,? I think firmly. ?I am not going to go through this again!? I pull out my data pad and
skim through Bandomeer?s history.
As I read, I feel eyes boring through me. I look up to see the reflected eyes of the pilot.
?Yes?? I ask.
?N-nothing.? He looks away shamefully.
I go back to reading.
After a few minutes of silence, the pilot looks up again.
?I...I saw a boy little while before I picked you up, Jedi, sir,? he said shyly.
I look up. I?m getting annoyed. ?Yes??
?He...he was from the Temple...?
I wait for him to continue, getting a little interested.
?He looked so sad, Jedi, sir.? He looked up over a air speeder ahead.
?What did he look like?? I ask, silently scowling myself for thinking of the boy.
The pilot looked thoughtful. ?Brown hair, blue eyes, pretty tall for his age. He wore a tan
tunic, just like yours.?
?Obi-Wan Kenobi,? I think to myself. Then I realize I?m taking pity for him and change.
?Sad. Of course he?d feel sad. He wanted to be a Jedi badly...too badly.?
I get on board after we arrive and after a few moments, someone comes to my door,
knocking rapidly.
I answer to find a Human woman pleading me to come see a patient in the Med Ward.
I go with her to find, who else but, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
I feel sick as I look at the feverish boy. He looks so small and pale.
I tell the woman I will take care of him for her.
?I?m not a doctor. I just know the kid,? she says calmly.
I sit down and set for work.

 

Aww... so sad. Don't tell me you're writing tragedy! Oh, well.

Oh, it's something of a relief! I thought at first it was an AU and he was really leaving the Temple for good; I didn't realize he was off to Bandomeer! We know that it ends happily (sort of...)

(PS, JKMariah, I finally posted my story! _Of Bonds & Beauty_, where OW & QJ take on the cutthroat world of...beauty pageants! Keep an eye out!)

 

LOL! Beauty pa-pa! *laughs and can't finish* I'll have to check it out!

 

Awww this is so sad. I juss started reading The Rising Force (JA #1) So I hope you don't give anything away...

 

Um, the next post was going to be about the end. Just don't read this until you've finished! (P.S. I like #2 better!)

 

This is so sad so far.

 

No spoilers! Well, you might be confused though.

As I sit on my bed, I think of home. The Temple. Si Treemba says we?re leaving soon. I
silently wish it was going the other way, back to Corusant.
I?ve leard to except that fact I?m going to be a Farmer. I don?t want to do it, but I
shouldn?t hate doing it. I?d be helping others eat. Plus I?ll be working with Si.
I sit on my bed and look out my window to see the stars and moons outside. Corusant
only had two moons, this place has a few.
I wish I could tell Bant about what happend. She?d love to hear. And Garen would
probably say, ?I wish I was with you!?
I laugh as I think of that. No. No Jedi Wants to be in my place. But I must learn to except
this.
I truly respect Qui-Gon Jinn. He?s a brave, calm man. Better than I?ll ever be.
The weird thing is last night, I had a dream. In my dream I saw Qui-gon and I. I stood
across from him and gave him my Lightsaber. I can?t understand it. Maybe I should tell
Qui-Gon about it. He?d know.
I hear foot steps down the hall. It?s Qui-Gon. We talk for a while and then we sit in a
comfortable silence. I sit back and look out my window again. I feel the ship lift off.
Qui-Gon leaves to check on the Med Ward and see who the others are.
I turn away when he leaves.
Although I have began to ?embrace? my fate, as Adi Gallia would say, I still sometimes
feel the urge to cry. But I won?t.
Jedi do not cry.

The End.

 

That was sad! How about a fic with Obi and Qui-Gons thoughts and events between scenes of the other JA books, or later in JA#1!!! PLEASE?!?!

 

*grin* I was thinking of doing #5 but I didn't like that book so much...I WILL think about it!

 

Very well then. What you do is...rewrite JA #5 the way it should have been done......to Hades with Melida/Daan, let Obi have the triumph of returning to Coruscant a Padawan! (Let Bruck chew on that and swallow!!!!)

 

I would love to see your take on #5. Even if you just filled in the missing scenes and gave us more emotion than was shown in the book. I think that is what I liked the best about what you have written so far, you just made what was IMHO already pretty darn good that much better!

 

LOL! And Kelly, what was the IHMO(sp) thing??? #5...

"Master are we going to Meilda/Daan?"
"...Nah! We're going on vactaion instead!"

 

To the top.

 

Top again! What one should I do next? READERS POLL!!!!!!!

JA #2
JA #3
JA #4...Nah!
JA #5
JA #6
JA #7
JA #8 (I like that one)
Or JA #9
Hey! I could even make up my own JA #13 'cause no one knows what it's about yet!

 

#6 and #7 are my personal favorites!
