Saga The Obi-Wan Kenobi Diaries, Part 1: The Mission; 1/1 Happy New Year and Final Post on This Part!

That was so funny.


Poor Obi-wan he has it bad, when he does not hear a question asked of him. Sabe is going to be good for him.



I'll be happy to dig under Anakin's robes myself, although I have seen on DVD what is underneath Ewan's "robes" and it's a nice view...

I couldn't agree with you more. I would also be happy to.

 

*laughs her head off* Brilliant! Awesome stuff there!

Once I got my hands on him, tanning his rear, even sitting on it, would not be an option. I slammed my shields down hard. No need to let Anakin know I was here, or how angry I was. That would give him time to escape.

Too funny! I love the line about giving him time to escape.

?Good night, Sabe,? I said, and checking to see that none of the other handmaidens had followed us, I gave her a quick kiss before palming open the door to my chamber.

Oooh, Obi-Wan's getting adventurous, eh?

 

Hysterical as always!

Man, Anakin mooning Bail Organa just never gets old. Genius! Pure genius!

MORE!

 

d_p: Yep.

Crystal: Hmmm...under a Jedi's robes...

amidalachick: He has his adventurous side.

Lex: Thanks!

Thanks, everyone, for reading.

Here's more:

?List of in-stock weapons, the Royal Army of Concord Dawn: 978,635 A280-type blaster rifles. 444,582 A295-type blaster rifles. 28,975 ascension guns. 10,485 Ax-108 blaster cannons. 836,728 DL-68 blaster pistols?.?

Next to me Anakin yawned. I wondered if he had heard anything that had been said during the past three hours. He had spent most of it yawning, sneezing, drinking at least five cups of caf, and running to the ?fresher.

Anakin, exactly how late did you? I began, but was interrupted by another sneeze.

Never mind, I don?t even need to ask,, I finished, sighing. You?re never going to get rid of that cold if you don?t start sleeping at night, Padawan, I said.

He glared at me, then dug tissues from his cloak pocket and blew his nose. Dammit, Master, I?m not doing that bad. That was the first sneeze today. Almost.

Liar, I said affectionately, then returned my attention to the proceedings.

??763,082 Kd-3 blaster cannons. 538,920 Mark II blaster cannons. 926,302 royal pistols. 562,937 T-21 light repeating blasters??

I felt Anakin?s shields crashing down, and I knew he was probably bored out of his mind, intending to distract himself with something else, and didn?t want me to know about it. A few minutes later I saw him exchanging mischievous smiles with Senator Amidala and knew that he must be distracting her with images completely unrelated to the security of any of the visiting planets. Padawan, you?re a bad influence on the entire galax?? I began. Suddenly Senator Amidala burst into laughter, quickly disguising it as a fit of coughing. Sabe, playing along with the charade, patted her on the back.

?Senator Amidala,? Prince Organa asked, concerned. ?Are you alright??

?She?s fine, Your Highness,? Sabe said. ?She swallowed water and it went down the wrong way.?

My apprentice?s grin was growing broader by the minute. What did you do, Anakin? I asked.

Nothing, Master, he said. Just trying to liven up the place a little without disrupting the proceedings, so I sent Padme some?rather interesting images.

Involving? I asked cautiously, not sure I really wanted to know.

A certain male Galactic Senator wearing lacy pink thong underwear, he said.

Anakin Skywalker? I began, but didn?t finish. It took all my Jedi control, and a mental image of myself in the same underwear, to keep from bursting into laughter.

Suddenly I heard shouting from the entrance to the chambers, then five rounds being fired from a blaster.


The Senators ducked in their boxes. Sabe, letting off a stream of Naboo obscenities that would rival Anakin on a good day, tackled Senator Amidala to the floor of her box. Anakin and I simultaneously ignited our lightsabers and ran towards the entrance.

Four Alderaanian guards were wrestling the would-be assassin to the floor, pinning down his eight arms, one of which held a prototype T-21 blaster pistol. But the operative word was ?prototype?. The blaster was made of durasteel, and contained nothing more harmful than pellets.

?Master!? Anakin said in a horrified whisper. ?I know him!?

?From where?? I asked.

?Podracing!? he said. ?I raced against him in the Boonta Eve eight years ago!?

The Dug at this point was trying in vain to make his cap blaster go off again. Anakin and I pounced on him immediately, holding our ignited sabers to his throat.

The Dug blanched when he saw Anakin. ?Skywalker!? He whispered, horrified.
?That?s right, you spidery-looking slime ball,? Anakin said. ?Once a podracer, now a Jedi. You?d better be glad you?re too stupid to realize that blaster was a dud. Now stay the hell away from the Republic Senators.?

?But?but?Moe?swindled me?podrace??

?Shut the hell up!? my Padawan snapped, moving his l

 

A certain male Galactic Senator wearing lacy pink thong underwear, he said.

Anakin Skywalker? I began, but didn?t finish. It took all my Jedi control, and a mental image of myself in the same underwear, to keep from bursting into laughter. tears coming out of my eyes.


But she wasn?t, I reminded him. Now go to her. She needs you. And Sabe needs me, I added silently, following him. Thats right Obi-wan Sabe needs you too. Hey wait a minute what am I'm talking about I need him .


Okay seriously, this was very good. You do such a good job in describing things that I can picture some of this stuff in my mind.



Edit: opps sorry you need to know who this is. Crystalkenobi

 

"New moon"



The images he sent to Padme, too... Hee hee!

Hmm... that's puzzling. Why would a Dug attack a group of senators, and yet not know whether his blaster worked or not? Wierd.


~ats~

 

x 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Christmas/Crystal: Thanks! Description is one of the things I try to work on.

across-the-stars: For more detailed messages about what he sent to Padme, see the Anakin Diaries.

d_p: Thanks.

*****

Senator Amidala and her handmaidens were sitting on the floor of their box, their faces white. ?Ani, what happened?? The Senator asked.

?Old podracing dispute between that Dug and the Malastare Senator,? my apprentice replied. ?The Dug was so stupid that he let someone sell him a cap blaster instead of a real one. In order to do that, you have to have the IQ of a malfunctioning protocol droid. The difference in price is at least 500 Republic ditaris.?

The women looked at each other and laughed nervously. Anakin took the Senator?s hands and helped her off the ground; I offered Sabe and Rabe each a hand to help them up. ?Master Kenobi,? Senator Amidala said, her voice tightly clipped. ?If you would allow your Padawan to escort me and my handmaidens back to the Palace, I would much appreciate it.?

I nodded. ?Of course, milady,? I said.

Captain Typho extended his hand. ?Thank you, Master Jedi,? he said. ?We are very much obliged.?

?My pleasure, Captain,? I said, then turned to head for the entrance of the chambers, where several members of the Alderaanian Royal Police were handcuffing the Dug, who was still howling about being swindled in a podrace. Senator Organa, meanwhile, was interrogating several members of his own guard.

?Kindly explain to me why this assassin was allowed to get past you,? he said angrily.

?He?he startled us, sir,? one guard member replied nervously. ?And he had identification.?

?Did you actually check his identification? Did you scan his datachip as you are required to do by law?? Organa asked.

?N-n-n-no sir,? another guard member replied. ?We merely saw the datachip with his picture on it. He said that he was a late-arriving guard of the Sullustian Senator, sir.?

Organa?s face turned red with fury. ?And you bought that?!?? he asked incredulously. ?Gentlemen, I am forced to conclude that your services are no longer required. I will be using another squadron as well as the Jedi for my protection while you are being replaced.? Without waiting for a response, he turned and walked away from them, joining me at the door, where the police were now carrying away the flailing Dug.

?I am grateful for your assistance in this matter, Master Jedi,? Organa said as we headed outside to an awaiting shuttle.

?It is my duty and pleasure, Your Highness,? I said.

?Yes,? he said. ?If only your apprentice took his duty as seriously as his Master does.? We boarded the shuttle, heading for the palace.

I sighed. ?My apologies, Your Highness. The words ?Anakin? and ?seriously? don?t fit together very well in the same sentence.?

He smiled. ?I gathered that much when I was granted an unguarded view of his gluteal parts last night.?

I shook my head. ?I can assure you, Your Highness, that I will be speaking with him about that and he will send you a very profuse apology.?

He nodded. ?I gathered as much, that such displays were not a normal and condoned practice for those in your Order,? he said. ?Tell me, Master Jedi, are your Padawan and Senator Amidala involved in any way??

I took a deep breath. ?They are?how shall I put this?there is a strong bond between the two, Your Highness,? I said. ?My apprentice and the Senator have been friends since they were children. She returns his affection for her.?

He nodded in a resigned sort of way. ?Ah,? he said. ?I see.?

We arrived at the palace and exited the shuttle. I headed for the guest wing and Anakin?s chambers, the Prince following directly behind me. I knocked on Anakin?s door and palmed it open. He was lying on the large bed, holding a fully clothed and fast-asleep Senator Amidala in his arms.

?The Dug is in jail,? I whispered, ?and not getting out for awhile. Every security person guarding the Senate meeting has been fired.? T

 

Sorry Bail but she is not for you.


I wonder if Obi-wan is going to have a vistor in his quarters. or so the force is telling me.

 

Friends since they were children... interesting way to put it, anakin_girl!

As always, great job on your posts. Can't wait for more.

 

Crystal: Maybe not right this minute but...

julie: Welcome! Thanks for stopping by! And Obi-Wan always does tell things "from a certain point of view".

Thanks for reading and replying.

I gave him an hour to rest, then returned to his quarters again. The Senator still slept, my Padawan?s arms around her. His eyes were closed as well.

?Anakin!? I whispered fiercely, hoping I could awaken him without awakening the Senator.

He opened his eyes slightly and looked at me blearily. ?Master?? He mumbled.

?You?ve had a very stressful morning. Today is not a day to neglect your meditation exercises.?

He stood and moaned. ?Master!?

One day, by the goodness of the Force, Anakin Skywalker will have a child that whines just as often as he does.

I simply nodded. ?Yes, Anakin, now,? I said.

He moaned again and dropped to the floor in the lotus position a few feet from the bed.

?You do know how much I love you for doing this without a fight?? he said.

I laughed and shook my head. ?Somehow I don?t think it has anything to do with me, Padawan,? I said. ?I think it has more to do with the fact that you don?t want to write any more essays on the benefits of meditation, to be reviewed by Master Yoda.?

Anakin laughed and nodded. I had seen several of Anakin?s essays picked apart by Master Yoda for errors, usually in Basic syntax and sentence structure and Anakin?s tendency to use Huttese slang.

My apprentice closed his eyes and began putting himself in a meditative trance, and I tiptoed quietly out of the room, headed for my quarters to do my own afternoon meditations.

I was in the middle of a quiet, oddly clouded rumination when I heard a scream of terror resonating over my bond with Anakin. What in the Force could he be screaming about? I thought. The sound frightened even me. I ran quickly into his quarters, where he was still sitting on the floor, drenched in sweat and trembling with fear. I brushed his hair back from his forehead, and his eyes flew open. ?Anakin, what happened?? I asked. ?I heard you screaming over our bond.?

His breathing grew heavier. The Senator rolled over in the bed and looked at us wearily. ?What?s going on?? she asked.

Anakin?s trembling grew more violent. ?I don?t know what happened,? he said. ?I haven?t had a vision like that in a long time.?

?What did you see?? I asked.

?My mom, and some other people?like maybe she has a new family now. Then this black shadow, covering all of them.? Anakin gulped, bit his lip, and then shook his head as if to clear it. ?Master, is there any way we could go to Tatooine when we leave here? I?m afraid something might be wrong.?

Tatooine. Oh, Force, Anakin, haven?t we talked about this? But the pleading, anxious look in his blue eyes stopped me. Anakin was no ordinary Jedi. He had lived with his mother for ten years, and for eight years he had been denied any contact with her.

Was there any further need to keep him from her? The Jedi Code forbids familial attachments, but the Jedi Code writers had never known the likes of Anakin Skywalker. Seeing his mother again, knowing that she was all right, would actually help Anakin concentrate more on his duty rather than hinder him.

I hugged him. ?I?ll see what I can do,? I said. Then I pulled away. ?It might be nothing, Anakin. Remember that. Sometimes visions are merely possibilities.?

He nodded. ?I know,? he said, ?but it?s not a chance I?m willing to take.?

?I understand,? I told him. ?I?ll see what I can arrange as far as getting us there. Right now just try to calm down.?

He nodded, and climbed on the bed next to the Senator. I left the room and returned to my quarters, wondering how I was going to explain to Master Yoda and Master Windu that I needed to procure a ship to go to Tatooine.

 

Well, I finally managed to catch up again. And can I just say ? you did it! The moon rose over Alderaan once again! I?m so glad. The Diaries wouldn?t be the same without it?

As always, I love the "throwaway" lines - the asides - as much as I do everything else:

I sighed. ?My apologies, Your Highness. The words ?Anakin? and ?seriously? don?t fit together very well in the same sentence.?

And this is the one that made me laugh out loud:

One day, by the goodness of the Force, Anakin Skywalker will have a child that whines just as often as he does.


Obi-Wan is amazingly supportive of Anakin's desire to go to Tatooine. Ah, the joys of "what if..."

Great job, a_g!

 

WHOA!!! I MISSED LIKE 3 POSTS!!!!!!! GREAT JOB ON THEM, anakin_girl!!!!!!

 

One day, by the goodness of the Force, Anakin Skywalker will have a child that whines just as often as he does.




~ats~

 

Still here. Still laughing my butt off.



Keep it coming!

 

geo: I had to make sure I squeezed in that "moon" somewhere, since it's the staple.

And yes, if only Obi-Wan had understood...maybe Shmi's life would have been spared...

d_p: Thanks.

a-t-s:

Lex: Good to see you! I think I owe you some replies myself...

Thanks everyone!

Small author's note here: I hope to have the next post up by Wednesday. I'm having surgery tomorrow morning for endometriosis, and while it's minor surgery and I'm being released tomorrow afternoon, I doubt I'll be much in a writing mood tomorrow or Tuesday. But there's one more post on this part of the Obi Diaries, and hopefully it will be up by the New Year.

Have a good one, everybody.

 

Just getting caught up here...great posts!

Next to me Anakin yawned. I wondered if he had heard anything that had been said during the past three hours. He had spent most of it yawning, sneezing, drinking at least five cups of caf, and running to the ?fresher.
I can see him doing that.

There was something scary about the part where the Dug gets through "security", though...and that's because that's how our police/military/defense systems operate...

Anyways, hope everything goes well with your surgery, and you can post more soon!

 

Thanks amidalachick. It was just to show that people get complacent when things have been going well for a long time (*coughTheJediCouncilcough*).

Well, everyone, I'm home after having scar tissue removed and the left ovary detached from the pelvic wall...still in some pain so there probably won't be a post today. Hopefully tomorrow though.

EDIT: Well guess what--I became productive today after all.

Here it is. This will finish up this section of the Obi-Wan Kenobi Diaries. Next will be Part 2: Tatooine, coming soon to a TF.N board near you.

*****

Back in my quarters, I buzzed the Jedi Temple and asked for Master Windu and Master Yoda, who quickly appeared on the hologram. ?How can we be of service, Master Kenobi?? Master Yoda asked.

?I trust the situation on Alderaan has been stabilized?? Master Windu asked.

I nodded. ?Organa has fired every member of the security team that was guarding the Senatorial session,? I replied. ?He and his chief bodyguards are currently interviewing replacement staff. Anakin and I have performed our duties of observation and protection here, and the Senator and his palace are well secured. The other Senators have returned to their home planets.?

Master Yoda studied me for a minute, and then nodded slowly. ?Very good, Master Obi-Wan,? he said. ?Well you have done.?

?Thank you, sir,? I said.

?And now I sense, something else you wish to ask,? he said.

?Yes, sir,? I said, taking a deep breath. ?Masters, my apprentice and I have been assigned to one mission after another for nearly a year now, with very little recovery time in between. I am concerned for my Padawan. He is exhausted physically and emotionally, terrifying visions are disturbing his meditations, and he has been ill throughout this entire journey. With your permission I would like to go away with him for awhile and allow him to rest, while concentrating his training on clearing his mind and calming his emotions. I think this would be beneficial both to him and to the rest of the Order. A calm, rested and healthy Jedi is a better Jedi.?

Master Windu nodded. ?I am inclined to agree with you there, Obi-Wan,? he said. ?How much time are you talking about??

?Two weeks,? I said. ?I trust that the events in the galaxy are not such that the Council cannot spare two Jedi during that time??

They shook their heads. ?Keep your comlink on hand, you must, Master Kenobi,? Master Yoda said. ?If need you, we do, call you, we must.?

I nodded and bowed. ?Yes, sir,? I said. ?And thank you both. Kenobi out.?

I switched off the hologram and left the room to tell Anakin the good news.


The next morning, after Anakin had had his requisite four cups of caf, we boarded the ship for a location disclosed only to Senator Amidala, Sabe, and us. The Senator, after hearing of her boyfriend?s vision, insisted on accompanying us.

?I?m not sure of this, Senator,? I said. ?Tatooine isn?t exactly the safest place in the galaxy for a Republic Senator.?

?It wasn?t the safest place in the galaxy for a Queen being hunted down by a bunch of Trade Federation morons either, but that didn?t stop me then, although your Master tried,? she said, setting her mouth in a stubborn line. Anakin had warned me not to mess with her when she wore that expression, not if I planned to keep all my vital organs intact.

I nodded. ?As you wish, Senator,? I said. ?I only hope you will allow Anakin and me to do our utmost to ensure your protection.?

?Of that I have no doubt,? she said. ?Neither of you have failed me yet. Now let?s go. Sabe,? she called.

Her chief handmaiden and best friend stood nearby, fastening the locks on several large trunks. ?Yes?? She said. ?Padme, are you ever going to learn to pack light??

She laughed. ?Someday,? she said, ?when I?m no longer a political official. You will keep things under control while I?m gone??

?I have blasters, bantha whips, and Gungan electropoles,? she said. ?Anything else I?ll need for these stubborn idiot poli

 

Shamelessly putting this at the top so people will know I've posted...

 

You know, jokes about Padme's massive wardrobe never get old.

Hee hee! Obi-Wan blushed.

 

Anakin_girl, I hope you are doing better! Recovering from pelvic surgery is not a fun way to spend New Year and still you manage a great post. Thanks for your dedication.
Looking forward to part II.

 

Wowzer!

That was good! I love how Obi-Wan ain't clueless! i'll never get over that.

 

Lex: Yes, he did. What Keira Knightley will do to a man.

julie: Thanks! And yes, I'm getting better. Good news is I didn't have to miss work.

KSA: Oh, Obi-Wan just doesn't want anyone to know how smart he is.

Thanks, everyone, for reading.


*blows nose again* I've got a Sithly head cold, plus I've got to go back to work Monday so I don't know how much writing I'll be doing...lately it's been my one escape though. But anyway, The Obi-Wan Kenobi Diaries, Part 2: Tatooine is posted here.

 

AHHHH!!!!!!! MISSED ANOTHER POST!!!!!! IT WAS GREAT!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

 

Heh, loved the Sabe line about idiot politicians...
