    Kithera paused, "uh oh, why do I get the feeling that this is going to be bad either way?" she said. Cali giggled.
    "That is because it is." Obi-wan said."We're are going to come up with something Sithy."

    "Who said anything about 'we' Potty-mouth." Cali said, "So what is it? Truth or dare."

    "Dare...no..TRUTH." Kithera muttered.

    "Nu uh.' Meri muttered "You said Dare first so Dare it is."

    "Oh no." Kithera giggled "why do I think that this is going to be really, really bad..."

    oops, sorry Kenobi Maul, but I had a great idea for Kithera and couldn't think of anything for Obi. redface.gif

    Cali's eyes lit up. "Oh, actually I was hoping for truth, but I've got a great dare anyway!" She paused for special effect. "I dare you to go find Master Windu and ask him if he liked your poem!"

    Kithera looked ready to die while everyone else cracked up and began rolling on the floor in laughter.

    Kithera was making squeaking noises at the back of her throat.
    "But I didn't give him the poem or the flowers." she gasped.

    "I know." Cali said mischieviously. "That is why your going to ask him whether he liked the poem, that was you don't have to lie."

    "But...no..I..."Kithera was babbling much to everyone's amusement.

    "Come on." Ane said grinning, "You have a date with Mace." The entire group bundled the reluctant knight out of the door and down the stairs. They could hear Mace's voice talking to someone around the corner.


    "Go on Kithera, I'll come with you." Cali said "Everyone else stay here."

    Mace was obviously in the middle of a conversation with someone which gradually got louder as the two girls came closer.


    "I just can't think who the secret admirer could be." Mace was saying. Cali giggled and Kithera blushed a deep red.

    "Yoda would tell you that the force shall reveal it soon." another voice replied.

    "Like really soon." Cali whispered with another giggle. Kithera shot her a daggers look, and Cali looked innocently back.

    "I'm only getting you back for your truth question." cali said sweetly.

    "And I'm only getting you back for the toliet and chicken dance episodes." Kithera hissed. Cali shrugged and looked childishly sweet again.

    "But I thought that you said Dare was boring because you had done probably everything." Cali said back.

    "Not this."

    "Oh really? Anyway, we ahd better shush." Cali grinned. Kithera glared at her and the both hurried their pace.

    "Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. It is probably only a iniate with a crush on you, Mace. Nothing important." the unknown voice said reassuringly

    "Thanks and that is suppose to make me feel better?" Mace asked. The other person laughed.

    Oh sith.Kithera thought desperately as Cali propelled her around the corner. That second voice sounds like...

    "Qui-gon." Kithera blurted out in suprise. The two Jedi Master were standing in the hall talking amiabley. Qui-gon looked up and smiled, Mace looked up a second later in puzzlement.

    "Hello Kitten." Qui-gon said stepped forward a pace and gave her a tiny kiss on the top of her nose. Kithera looked embarrased and Qui-gon pulled away in confusion.

    "Well, Kithera and Student Angli, maybe you can help us solve who my secret admirer is." Mace said with a smile. Cali nudged Kithera in the ribs. The small knight let go of Qui-gon's hand which she had been holding.

    "Kithera thinks she might know." Cali said grinning. Kithera smiled nervously, she bounced up to Mace and said seriously.

    "Can I whisper it to you?"

    Cali was just about to say something when Qui-gon cut her off.
    "Come on Kitten, it can't be that serious that you can't share it."

    Kithera looked around, her face looked scared and sort of bewildered like she hadn't expect Quig-on to say anything. Suddenly she sighed and relaxed.

    "I just wanted to know whether you liked my poem or not." She said after a moment. Qui-gon stepped back in shock and Mace looked at her in bewilderment. Despite the forced grin Kithera's face was changing between shades of red.

    "Kithera..." Qui-gon whispered and turned to walk away. Cali watched as a spark suddenly lit up Kithera's eyes and she grabbed Qui-gon's hand to prevent him from going. Mace was watchign her with a strange look in his eye.

    "So you wrote this." Mace asked.

    "yes." Kithera answered, Qui-gon was tugging his hand in an effort to get free.

    "So you're my secret admirer." Mace whispered again. Kithera shook her head and Cali glared at her.


    "Oh no." Kithera said innocently, Qui-gon turned back to give her another look. "I just asked whether you liked to poem or not. I wrote it, but I only did it for a friend who can't write poetry." Kithera said giving a pointed look at Cali. All heads swung towards the student. Cali suddenly found herself blushing.

    "Cali?" Mace asked. Cali shook her head numbly and raced back along the corridor.

    She could hear the Master's laughter and Kithera's voice saying plantively. "Now I never said that either." and Qui-gon's answering.

    "So you don't love M

    "My turn again already?"Jane squeaked."I don't know if I've recovered from the last time yet!"

    "You've recovered,"said Kithera in a no-nonsense voice."Now answer the question!"

    "Erm--yes, Master Rinani."

    "I'm waiting, Jane."

    "Dare. I'll take the dare, even though I'm not sure my heart can take much more of this."

    "Only seventeen and you're having a heart attack already?"Kithera teased.

    "Let me put it this way,"said Jane."When this evening is over, I'm going to go to An-Paj and volunteer myself as a test-subject for him to write a paper called "It is now medically proven that it is impossible to die of embarrassment" and he will win the Chancellor's Peace Prize and be famous throughout the galaxy."

    Everybody laughed at that, and then Jane added slyly,"Obi-Wan can escort me there."

    "Not me!"he cried."Come on, Kithera, say something, quick, before she gets any more funny ideas."

    "Dare, hmmm?"Kithera asked, placing her chin in her hand and looking at Jane with a distinctly mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

    Kithera grinned. "Well, actually the dare I had in mind was rather stupid. You see it involves Jane's favourite person."

    "Who me?" Ane said with a laugh.

    "Mistress Worsa." Kithera giggles as jane groaned. "It's a long story but mistress Worsa sleeps with a large toy bantha."

    "How do you know that?" Ieron asked.

    "Well, lets just say that Ane is not the only padawan who climbed around the Master's room and found things out." Kithera grinned. "I happen to know for a fact that Obi-wan snores."

    "I do not!" Obi-wan said indignatly. Everyone laughed even Cali.

    "Oh yes you do, I should know I am your room mate." jane said.

    "Back to the dare." Meri reminded them.

    "Okay, well. I dare jane to find and borrow the stuffed bantha and bring it back here." Kithera said giggling, Jane looked shocked.

    "But what if she's there?" the girl asked. Kithera shrugged.

    "Find someway around it and don't worry we will return it later." Kithera was bouncing and grinning. "Quick, now off you go." she said.

    Jane stood at the door of Meri's apartment for a long moment, thinking, then turned back to the group."I have a plan, but I'll need a decoy to lure her out of her apartment while I slip in. Obi-Wan, may I volunteer you? And I'll need to borrow Cali's make--"

    "Jane Jinn if you say that word or even insinuate what I think you're going to say, then so help me I will pound you into something that ends up looking exactly like Yoda's gruel and Qui-Gon will only recognise you by your Force signature,"Obi-Wan threatened, standing up.

    "Holy flying schietkram,"Jane exclaimed, putting her hands up."Calm down, Obi-Wan, I didn't say it!"

    "Say what?"asked Ane.

    "Don't even ask, or the same goes for you,"Obi-Wan grumbled.

    "Tell you later,"Jane said, then giggled at the thunderous look on Obi-Wan's face."All right, I'm going, I'm going."

    "You might need some help,"Ane said, leaping to his feet."I'll come with you."

    "No, you'd do the whole thing for her,"Kithera objected."You stay here. Jane's got to figure it out on her own."

    Jane opened the door mournfully and went out into the corridor, feeling very much alone. How in the name of the Chancellor's underwear was she supposed to get that stuffed bantha without anybody to help her? What did they expect her to do, ring the door buzzer and ask for it? But Mistress Worsa would never give it up just like that, especially not if she slept with it!

    By the time she arrived outside Mistress Worsa's door, Jane had decided on another plan. Walking up and down the corridor, she found the grate that signalled an entrance to the ventilation shafts, and stared up at it. How to get in...where was a ladder when you needed one? How had the other students done this? Oh, right, they had the Force under perfect control. They probably just moved the grate with their minds and levitated themselves in. Jane felt suddenly very inadequate, and reconsidered pressing the buzzer, but thought of High Alderaanian the next day, and sighed in defeat.

    Eventually, Jane found a custodial closet on that floor, and removed a ladder from it, then set it up underneath the grate. She climbed up and gave the metal piece an experimental push, feeling delighted when it moved easily away. She set it to one side and heaved herself into the low, narrow space, cringing at the noise she caused while struggling against the metal walls. Thankfully, no one came out to investigate, and she began to push herself along, as slowly and quietly as she could.

    I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, she chanted to herself, quoting a children's book she'd heard a million times while growing up. Eventually, she came to a junction, and thought for a moment about where she was, then turned to the left. Up ahead, light filtered in from another grate on the bottom of the shaft, and Jane inched towards it until she could look down into Mistress Worsa's living room. The woman was sitting on the couch, reading a data pad--and the stuffed bantha was nestled into her lap! Her fingers were actually moving over its head in thoughtful circles!

    No! Jane screamed in silent torment, her lips moving but no sound coming out. This is not fair! How do they expect me to remove that bloody thing from her very arms without her noticing? How? How-how-how?

    Figure out a way to get around it, Kithera had said. If only I had better control of the Force, Jane thought, I could mentally ring her buzzer and make her get up from the couch.

    Well, it was worth a try. Closing her eyes, Jane concentrated on the Force, trying to activate the buzzer, but no matter how much effort she put into it, there was still no sound. She was starting to sweat from the exertion, and finally gave up, opening her eyes. And then, quite unexpectedly, the buzzer went off. Jane caught her breath, starting in surprise, then watched in delight as Mistress Worsa stood up and walked towards the door.

    At last! Moving the grate just far enough to reach her arm through, Jane concentrated on the bantha next, willing it to leap to her waiting hand. It didn't se

    "I dare you." Jane continued "to I don't know...do a strip-tease dance in the hall."

    "JANE!" Kithera said giggling hysterically, "Where did that come from." Jane shrugged, Ane was sitting in his chair with his mouth open gulping like a fish.

    "Hmmm, I've always wanted to see what was under that tabard." Sifa said in delight.

    "What do you say, Ane?" Ieron asked seriously. Ane's face just turned a brighter shade of red and the girls giggled even harder.

    "I can't do that." Ane said "What if someone sees me!"

    "That is the whole point." Meri argued. "You have to do it in the main hall with music and all off Ane no baulking."

    "No way in Sith hells." Ane said vehemently.

    "Oh come on, Ane please." jane begged. "Just for me."

    "You're the one who got me into this mess." Ane spat and then softened, "Alright I'll do it."

    "Yes." the girls chorused.

    "Okay, Meri do you have a good disk player?' Cali asked looking around the room,

    "Yes, over there." Meri pointed. Obi-wan ahuled the disk player up and the group wandered down to the main hall.

    "Right there." jane pointed.

    "But that's near the Master's common room." Ane exclaimed, Kithera giggled.

    "Maybe they would like some lunch time entertainment." she said. By now Cali had plugged the disk player into the wall and turned it one, selecting a good song she motioned to Ane.

    "Take it away." she said.

    "Uh no, " Ane whispered already a small crowd had gathered drawn by the noise of the music. Reluctanlty Ane began to take off his belt. The girls whopped and Obi-wan repressed a sigh. Struggling with his botts Ane made a show of hopping around on one leg while tugging at his boot. All the girls shrieaked with laughter.

    "Come on Ane, where's the dance moves I see in class." Kithera teased as Ane turned a lurid shade of pink.

    When there's nothing left for you to do but dance. I've got candy in my heels to night, ba-bee. the music crooned, Ane seemed to take heart peeling off his first tabard and throwing it to Jane. The second came off and then the third. By now the crowd of students and iniates had grown until Ane had a large audience of cheering an whistling Jedi, mostly girls. Ane slowly pulled off his leggings and the girls gave disapointed sighs as he revealed his boxers.

    "I didn't know Ane liked telly-tubbies." Cali said Jane shrugged.

    "Beats me."

    Ane finally pulled his undertunic over his head and dropped it neatly on to the ground.

    "Can I stop now?" he asked desperately.

    "Deffinately not." An-Paj intoned as he scooped up Ane's clothes and hurried them into the Master's common Room. Ane looked up in shock to see a large group of Masters including his own staring down at him with amused expressions. The crowd scattered except for the band of students.

    "Padawan." Master jial Yuki said, "If you are going to engage in stripping in the hall I suggest you at least fold your clothes." there was a few muted laughs from the group of Masters.

    "Yes Master." Ane said looking down.

    "I told you he has taken somthing." An-Paj said comming back into the hall.

    "I haven't and I could I have my clothes back now." Ane said desperatly.

    "No, anyway I was just waiting for the next batch." he said motioning to Ane's boxers. Ane blushed modestly and hopped onto one foot.

    "This isn't funny anymore." Ane whispered, "I can't go in there to get them back." Ane whispered to the group of jedi students.

    "You can't but Kithera can." Cali said. Quietly Kithera began to sneak around the outside of the group of masters.

    "We have to do something to distract them." Ieron muttered.

    "I personally think they are catching on." cali replied and then stood up. "Alright, what can we do to get Ane's clothes back?" she asked. An-Paj grinned evily.

    "Well, you'll have to do something for me or offer me something." An-Paj's grin broadened.

    " Um, we have a stuffed bantha we can offer you." Meri tried.

    Kithera had reached the door unnoticed.

    *ROTFLOL*!!!!
    I know it's too late to join the actual "Truth or Dare" game, but I couldn't resist throwing this in...

    ------
    Meanwhile, back in the cafeteria...

    Rani gagged in mid-gulp, almost forcing milk through her nose. "Sifa did WHAT?"

    "She kissed me, right there in the library." Alex grinned at the disbelief on her face. "I didn't know what to make of it at first. Even you and T'lor were never that bold..."

    "Oh, cute. Very funny." she replied sourly.

    "Well, later on Master Windu started asking around about the flowers he'd received, delivered by Ieron, and later An Paj said he caught Obi Wan making Ane drinking out of the toilet."

    "Eeewww..."

    "Just wait, it's gets better." Alex started chuckling as he spoke.

    "Hold that thought..." Rani caught sight of T'lor and waved her over to sit with them, "Tlor! Sit down, you have to hear this!"

    Alex continued, "Later on, just after some of the Masters start comparing notes with one another, Jane supposedly comes bursting into the Master's common room and directly asks An-Paj how he selects from among his wives which one to bed with each night!"

    The girls reeled with laughter. "Let me guess...Truth or Dare?" T'lor asked, catching her breath.

    "Sure sounds like it," Rani replied, "although I think some of their dares beat a lot of the ones we did a few years back."

    "The Masters are all fully aware of it by now, surely. I just came from the our common room, and Ane was just outside in the hall dancing a strip-tease. An-Paj stole his clothes at the end of his act and hid them in the common room so Ane couldn't retrieve them. He had to stand there in his Tele-tubbies boxers until Kithera emancipated his clothing." There was another roar of laughter, this time including Jedi at nearby tables who were now listening intently.

    "And we missed it?" Rani lowered her voice so as not to be overheard by the neighbouring tables, "Well, I don't know about you two, but this sounds like something worth waiting around for. Where are they, Alex, do you know?"

    "I think they're playing in our quarters, actually. Meri mentioned having friends over, and practically begged me to make myself scarce for a few hours."

    "So we'll just stick around there, then. Maybe we'll finally see how Obi-Wan looks in make-up or something!" T'lor said as she and Alex got up to leave.

    Rani followed them out of the cafeteria. "I just want to stop by our quarters first and grab my camera, in case we get lucky."

    ------
    Okay, use it or ignore it as you please, folks, it's your story. I figure why should the Masters have all the fun?

    Ane grinned at Ieron,

    "Do you remember that chemistry set we used to have when we were iniates?" he asked. Ieron smiled,

    "Yes and we made that cloud of smoke and nearly choked ourselves to death." Ieron said as a reply.

    "do you remember the recipe?" Ane asked his grin broadening.

    "Yes, why?" Ieron replied.

    "Well, I have a certain Master to repay and my dare to you is to climb up into the ventalation shafts over the master's common room and let a cloud of smoke go." By now Ane's eyes were glittering brightly as he smiled again. "We'll help of course."

    "And when the masters think there's a fire going on, they'll all come running out into the corridor,"Jane guessed."Hey, that'd be funny if we could set up some trip wires right outside the door, so when they come running out, they all fall over each other."

    Everybody turned to look at Jane, and she smiled self-consciously, then asked,"Ummm, not funny?"

    Ieron?s eyes glittered at the dare as well. ?It certainly sounds like you, Ane!? she laughed. ?I?ll do it. The question is, where can I find some of the compounds for it? I know that Tobias pitched that set when he came back to find our rooms completely musty and two padawans nearly passed out on the floor!? Ane laughed at the memory and Ieron just shook her head, grinning.

    Kithera winked at the pair and stood up. ?I can handle that. Being a teacher has its advantages,? she told them, then disappeared out the door.

    Ieron turned to Jane, the glittering not gone. ?And the trip wires? What can we use for those? We just have to make sure that we aren?t detected while they?re being set up.?

    Obi-Wan smiled broadly. ?That?s easy enough. Use dental floss. It?s strong enough if we attach it right, and the Masters won?t be able to see it at all with the smoke.? Cali snorted at the comment and began laughing.

    Ieron winked broadly at him, grinning widely. ?I like the way you think Obi-Wan. I really like this dare, it?s much better than the flowers and poem.?

    Meri shook her head. ?No, it?s not,? she replied matter-of-factly, ?the look on your face when you came back made that dare one of your greatest ones ever!?

    Kithera reappeared, holding a small cardboard box of small jars. ?I grabbed one of the supply boxes. I hope it has everything you need.? She set it down in front of Ieron. Ieron immediately began sifting through it, removing a few jars and searching the others. When she was done, she had a grouping of four jars and a wicked grin.

    ?With all this, they?ll have enough smoke to make it hard to see their hands in the arena!? she cried gleefully, grabbing the jars and standing up. ?Meri, do you have any dental floss? Can you guys put up the tripwires while I make the smoke??

    Ane grinned. ?We?ll take care of it, but you can?t make the smoke until we give you a signal.?

    Ieron gave him a look. ?You have to give me a tightly shielded signal, or the Masters will know. Everyone has to have tight shields for this to work right.?

    Jane looked a little hesitant, remembering what had happened to her earlier. ?Well, I . . .?

    ?Don?t worry about it,? Kithera gently broke it, an ornery look on her face. ?I can maintain shields for you if you need them.? Jane nodded gratefully. ?How about you, Cali??

    Cali shook her head. ?I can handle my own.?

    ?All right. Are we ready?? Ane asked eagerly.

    There were nods of assent all around, so the group took off. They paused around a corner from the masters? common room. Ieron searched the faces of the people around her. ?You will distract anyone coming down the hall till I?m in the shaft? I can put the grate back, but I want to do this right.?

    ?We?ll cover you, Ieron,? Obi-Wan told her.

    ?All right. It?s time for the shields.? Peering around the corner for any other Jedi, Ieron slid her own shields into place. Then, she darted out to stand directly beneath the grate. Using tiny amounts of the Force, heavily shielded, she undid the grill and opening it up. She backed up, got a running start, and made a Force-assisted jump, landing in the grate with a thump. Quickly, she scrambled her legs in, then turned around and poked her head out.

    //I?m ready for the jars.//

    //Got that, Ieron.//

    The others scurried from the corner, and Kithera appeared below the grate and tossed the jars up to Ieron. She easily caught all four, closed the grate, then crawled down the dusty ventilation shaft towards the common room.

    She found another grate at the end of the shaft and peered in to make sure it was the right room. The scene below surprised the padawan. There were four masters grouped around a table. There were cards in the middle and each person had three in their hand. Even though gamboling wasn?t allowed in the Temple, that wasn?t the most shocking part. The one woman who was there was stripped down to her last tunic and had no leggings on. A male master had no shirt and wore only his undergarments. The other too had at least one tunic and leggings on. T
