Obi-Wan Kenobi was looking down at the young child at his feet.
"But I want the toy, Obi!" growled the little girl at his feet. "I want it so bad." The
little Princess of Alderaan then began to cry softly, tugging at the old Jedi's robes. "I
can get her to give it to me." Leia then said suddenly.
The little girl then began walking toward her little friend that was seated on the floor
of her Playroom, enjoying the Princess' new stuffed Ewok toy. The other child's
white hair served as almost a blanket, covering her completely almost with her hair.
Leia's hair was almost as long. But her hair flowed in waves of long curls, not quite
touching the floor when she sat down.
Obi-Wan held onto her shoulder, stopping her from approaching the other child.
"We mustn't use our talents for any sort of evil, young one. You have an ability that
no one else on your entire world has, and you mustn't take advantage of that fact.
Not ever."
"I'm evil, Obi?" Leia whispered with a frightened softness to her tone. "I don't wanna
be, really. I just want my toy." Leia shook her head, near tears once again.
The aging Knight bent down on one knee to the little Princess.
"One as fair as you, dear heart, I believe will never be evil, providing you make the
right choices. Even the most cleaver young children can make mistakes."
"Share your toy with Winter, Leia," chimed Prince Bail Organa, entering his
daughter's suite within the Alderaanian Palace. "You know better than to be selfish,
little one."
"But it's my toy, papa."
"Leia. I'll not say it again."
The little girl then huffed and stomped her foot in frustration.
"Fine, papa. I'll share."
Leia then ran over to the other little girl in the room.
"Play with me?" Leia offered her.
"She has a powerful stubborn attitude about her. She reminds me much of him."
murmured Obi-Wan softly. "Leia is doing well otherwise though. She understands
that there is something special about her, even if she doesn't know exactly what that
might be yet. I believe that she will have enough control over the Force, even without
my farther instruction. To keep her out of trouble at least."
"I'm afraid that is impossible for a four-year-old, my friend. Especially this one."
smiled Bail with obvious pride. "But she is learning her place, and knows that no one
else can ever see what she is capable of. I believe that will be enough."
"We've never purposely masked the power of the Force in any child before. I don't
know if it will work forever."
"Only time will tell."

 

Sweet story. I like the Obi-Wan touch. Keeping track of the children.

 

Great way to mesh life lessons like that.
