Master and Padawan- An OT AU

Just finished reading this, what a cute story. Can't wait to read more.

 

Cool! That as so CUTE!!!*grin*

More please!!!

 

UP!

 

I loved both of those posts. Can't wait for more.

 

Awww, those Obi-Wan/Luke scenes are so sweet! Interesting that Luke is having visions of Darth Maul and Anakin. Can't wait to see what kind of trouble Luke gets in at a pod race! More soon please!

 

PLEASE, can we have MORE??????

 

Just moving this up in the hopes that you'll post some more!

 

I'm sorry! This is only a short post. I've got a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Fic running over at Fanfiction.net, so that's taken up some of my time. Anyway, there'll be a longer post tomorrow, I promise. By the way, does anyone else find the cupid Wattos extremely disturbing?

Luke hopped out of the speeder and turned to regard it?s pilot. Obi-Wan smiled at him.
?Have a good day, Luke,? he said. Luke grinned at him
?I will, Ben,? he replied.
*And remember,* Ben continued along their bond.
*Don?t mention Jedi, Sith, or anything tto do with the Force whatsoever,* Luke interrupted. *I know, I know, you?ve already told me, how many times was it again?* Ben smiled and reached out to ruffle his hair.
?Once more can?t hurt,? he said. ?I?ll see you this afternoon then,? Luke nodded and waved as Ben put the speeder into gear and pulled away. He took a deep breath, turned, and walked into the yard of Anchorhead School. He swept the grounds with his eyes, and with the Force, as he walked slowly through the massed throng. Young people of all sexes and species talked exitedly about the latest movies on the holonet, or extolled the benefits in the latest of the Sky Hopper line, or swapped last minute notes on homework. The barrage of emotions from so many different minds, far more than he was used to, caused Luke to hastily erect some mental shields, but not before catching a familiar presense among the mass.

Luke grinned and started heading in the right general direction.
?Biggs!? he yelled as his eyes landed on the familiar dark hair. The older bot turned at the sound of his name, then grinned as well as his gaze settled on his young friend.
?Luke!? He exclaimed, making his way over. ?How are you doing??
?OK,? Luke replied, smiling at his best friend.
?Well?? Biggs asked. ?Has Ben set a daet to take you to the Podraces yet?? The question had become almost a ritual between the two since Luke had told him about Ben?s promise to take him to the Podraces.
?No,? Luke replied, shaking his head in disgust. ?There?s always some reason to why we can?t go.? Biggs nodded in sympathy.
?That?s the way it is with grown-ups,? he said wisely. He looked around the crushed yard then grabbed Luke?s hand.
?Come on,? he said. ?I?ll introduce you to the gang.?
?The gang?? Luke asked, allowing himself to be pulled into a more sheltered corner of the yard.

 

ooh, does this gang include Fixer, Camie, Windy, and Deak?

 

<<That?s the way it is with grown-ups,? he said wisely.>> Kids can be so cute and you write them so well, Cate! I'm waiting for Luke to get provoked and upset at school and levitate the teacher or something! But then, that's probably just *me*...

 

I agree, you DO write kids well!
It's tomorrow, and I want a post!!! please?

 

post more

 

Ah, so Luke gets to meet the gang now. Excellent post! Can't wait for more!

 

Here's a post! I'm sorry if Windy and Deak are out of charecter, I don't know them well enough to write them well, so I'm sorta creating my own personalities for them as I go along. Anyway, here's the post, picking right up where I left off.

*******

?Come on,? he said. ?I?ll introduce you to the gang.?
?The gang?? Luke asked, allowing himself to be pulled into a more sheltered corner of the yard.
?Yep,? Biggs said, stopping in front of two boys about their age who looked up as they approached. ?Deak, Windy, this is Luke. Luke, this is Deak and Windy.? He plopped down next to them, tugging Luke down with him. ?Where?s Fixer??
?Not here,? Windy said. Biggs shrugged.
?No big loss,? he said. He looked over to Luke?s questioning gaze. ?Fixer?s a bit of a jerk,? he explained. Windy snorted.
?A bit??? He murmured. Luke looked around the group.
?He doesn?t sound very? nice?? he ventured. Deak shook his head.
?He?s a bully,? he said. ?But if you can prove he can?t mess you around, then he?s OK.? Biggs didn?t say anything, but Luke got the impression that he didn?t agree.
?So,? Windy continued, changing the subject, ?Where do you live? I mean, Anchorhead?s not exactly Corucscant. Do you live on one of the farms??
?Not exactly,? Luke said cautiously, anticipating their reaction. ?I live with old Ben.?
?Ben?? Windy gaped at him. Deak just stared. ?You mean that cra-?
?Hold it!? Biggs yelled, throwing his arm up, ?You don?t want to insult Ben in Luke?s presence,? he explained to the two puzzled boys. ?At least,? he grinned, ?Unless you want to die a painful, horrible death.? Luke sent a glare in his direction, which he ignored, so he spoke, smirking.
?And of course you know that for yourself, don?t you, Biggs?? Biggs was now looking uncomfortable and Windy and Deak were grinning.
?Well hello guys,? a sarcastic voice intruded. Biggs assumed a weary expression.
?Hello, Fixer,? he said. Twisting round, Luke saw a big boy, about Biggs? age, with a scowl that he suspected was permanent etched in his face. Standing next to him was a young girl, who kept herself close to him, invading his personal space, though he didn?t seem to mind. Fixer noticed Luke just then.
?Who?s this,? he sneered, ?A snivelling Farmboy ?? Luke decided promptly that he didn?t like Fixer at all.
?No,? Biggs said, voice tight. ?This is Luke, he lives with Old Ben,? he added smugly. That piece of information certainly had an effect on Fixer.
?What?? he gasped. ?That crazy old hermit?? Luke absently wondered if Fixer would like being suspended form the roof for the rest of the day? Biggs glanced warily at his friend, obviously expecting him to blow up. Luke smiled at him slightly, reassuring, then looked to the girl.
?What?s your name?? he asked.
?Camie,? she answered automatically, then her eyes widened and she looked sideways quickly at her companion. Fixer was swelling up with anger.
?Are you ignoring me?? he grated out. Luke glanced coolly at him.
?I didn?t know that you had said anything worth answering,? He said calmly. Fixer gave a roar and swung a punch at Luke. Luke sensed it coming and ducked quickly, sweeping his leg out and dumping Fixer on the ground on his back. There were gasps from the crowd that had gathered, and some scattered clapping. Luke looked down at Fixer, feeling satisfaction at his triumph. He immediately felt guilty of that. You shouldn?t take pride in this. His thought sounded like his master?s voice. I was defending myself, he argued back. But you provoked the situation. The voice continued calmly. Luke sighed inwardly in exasperation. I can?t even escape you here, can I, Ben? He thought. Swallowing his pride, he leaned down and offered his hand to Fixer.
?Look.? He began. ?I?m sorry, I shouldn?t have-? Fixer grabbed Luke?s arm and pulled down. Luke landed hard on the ground, gasping for breath.
?Idiot,? he heard Fixer, mutter as he moved away. Wincing, he got up into a sitting position, holding his painful chest. Biggs squatted down next to him, face concerned.
?Are you alright?? he asked. Luke nodded, mor

 

aw, fix is just a mean old bully. Lukie sure told him. I love how Luke was debated with his conscious.

 

Poor Luke. He tries to be nice, and look what happens. loved the part 'I can?t even escape you here, can I, Ben?' LOL!!!

 

More! Please.

 

?I didn?t know that you had said anything worth answering,? - great come-back line! Good to see Luke can control his temper & his pride.

 

********

Luke plopped down onto the seat behind the desk assigned to him and looked around the classroom with interest. The Twi?leck woman, Miss Lerel, had taken them on a tour around the school, pointing out the various classrooms, and where the toilets were, for example. Luke found it? uncomfortable, to be part of a group being taught, instead of being the only one, or one of two as it was with his Master or with Aunt Beru, as he had taken to calling her. He turned his attention back to the front of the class with interest as their teacher walked in.
?Good day class,? she smiled.
?Good day Miss Mires,? the class chorused monotonously in reply, and Luke suppressed a grimace.
?This is your first day,? Miss Mires said, looking round with a smile plastered on her face. ?So naturally all of you are going to be feeling a bit scared,? Luke bit back a laugh. Most of the kids were a bit unsure or nervous, but the only one his senses could identify as ?scared? was Miss Mires herself, at being in charge of ?terrified little kids on their first day.? She was talking again and Luke pulled his attention back. ?Now,? she was saying. ?We?re just going to do a bit of galactic History, most of which you probably know already, just to start of easily, OK?? Again the plastered on smile, and the tone of voice one would use for talking to four year olds. ?I?m eight years old!? Luke thought indignantly. ?OK,? he amended to himself, ?nearly eight.?

He listened as Miss Mires started talking about the fall of the Republic, and the rise of the ?glorious? Empire, with mounting incredulity. ?That?s not true!? he thought indignantly as she described the Jedi Knights as a group of old, ignorant, band, who had too much power that they used unwisely. Luke began to absently unravel the hem of her skirt, practicing his fine-tune control of the Force. She went on to describe how the Republic had not done anything to prevent the dreadful Clone Wars, how it had grinded to a halt, how it had been falling to pieces from within, leaving it as ?Our Great Emperor Palpatine?s? duty to take control to prevent galaxy wide chaos. Luke regarded the woman indignantly. Ben had told him that while it was true that the Senate was falling into anarchy- whatever that meant, he wasn?t quite sure- it had certainly not been at all as bad as Miss Mires was making out. He also noticed she had avoided any reference to the Jedi Purge.
?Now,? Miss Mires went on brightly. ?If you could all take out your datapads?? Luke opened his desk and pulled out an old-model all-purpose datapad, and switched it on. A simple exercise came up on the screen. ?Could you do the exercise that has come up on your screen, then, so we can have an idea of where you are. If you need any help, just put your hand up, OK?? A few people put their hands up straight away, and Miss Mires moved to help them. Luke ran his eyes over the exercise. It was fairly simple, nothing more then Ben had ever set him, anyway. He considered the idea of tilting the datapad that Miss Mires had left on her desk with the Force, so he could view the answers, but dismissed the idea quickly, feeling slightly guilty at having considered it. Anyway, the questions were easy, a collection of writing, maths, and some science. He finished it quite quickly and looked around. Some of the others had finished as well, others were struggling. Luke looked back at his datapad, then turned it upside down. He began mixing and matching numbers together, trying to create words. By the time the bell rang for lunch, he had figured out how to make, ?Hello? ?Here? ?Shell? and a few others in a mismatched hodgepodge of upper and lower case letters. He quickly deleted them and laid the datapad down on his desk.
?OK, class,? Miss Mires smile was starting to wilt a bit around the edges. ?You may go to Lunch. Don?t leave the school grounds, and if there is any trouble find a teacher.? There was a rush for the door and Miss Mires stepped back hurriedly, stumbling over her suddenly too long skirt. Luke bit the inside of his cheek to keep from gri

 

His father's lightsaber?

Luke sure is a mischievous boy, isn't he?

 

LOL!!! Obi-Wan is such a pest! *grin* Loved that:
?A Jedi must always be patient,? he pointed out.
?Except for Birthdays,? Luke muttered. Obi-Wan?s laughter filled the speeder and trailed behind them across the sands.

LOVED that!!!

 

Good for Luke, he showed Fixer! Even if it was a "slightly unethical use of the Force." I knew a few kids like that in school. Wish I'd had the Force to deal with them.

'There's a reason why they don't allow Jedi in casinos." lol!

Hmm...could Luke be getting Anakin's lightsaber for his birthday? Post more soon!

 

LOL!!!!


I'm betting he gets that force sensative rock that Qui gave Obi.

 

Sorry, none of your guesses were right! But look out for Luke's Father's lightsaber in later posts.

*******

Obi-Wan slipped up to his Padawan?s room and peered round the doorway. A soft smile formed on his face as he looked in on the young boy. Luke was sleeping peacefully, the sheets twisted every which way indicating that that was a resent development. Obi-Wan sighed softly. It was almost a shame to wake him up but?
?Padawan,? he called quietly so as not to startle him. No response. ?Luke.? Louder now, still no reaction. Ben sighed again and crossed over to the bed. Placing his hand on Luke?s shoulder, he shook him firmly. That seemed to have the desired affect. Bleary eyes blinked up at him.
?Master?? his voice was sleep slurred.
?Time to get up, Padawan.? Obi-Wan said cheerfully. Luke shifted so he could look at the chromo and his eyes widened.
?It?s three in the morning Master!? he exclaimed loudly.
?Yes,? Obi-Wan nodded, trying to hide a smile. ?Time to get up.? Luke slumped back down on the bed, trying to pull the sheets up and glowering down at them when they refused to cooperate.
?Why??
?Because I said so.? Obi-Wan stood up from his sitting position on the bed and moved over to the door. ?Now get dressed, clean clothes are over your chair.? Luke stared at him suddenly as his sleep-fogged brain started functioning again.
?Master,? he said slowly, ?It?s my Birthday.? Ben nodded.
?I am aware of that, Padawan.? He said. Luke looked at him, exasperated.
?Shouldn?t people get lie-ins on their Birthdays??
?Most likely,? Obi-Wan nodded, and there was a definite smile playing around his lips. ?Now, get up, Padawan. You can eat in the speeder.?
?The speeder!? Luke exclaimed, staring at him. ?Master, where are we going?? Obi-Wan just gave him that same, smug, small smile.
?Get dressed, Padawan.? He said, leaving.

Luke stared after him, exploding with curiosity. Reaching out, he found that Obi-Wan had put up shields across his end of their bond, so he could not get even a ?hint? of what he was up to.
?Argh!? Luke shouted, throwing himself back down onto the bed. His master could be so ?infuriating!?

*******

Obi-Wan pulled the speeder up in front of the Darklighter?s residence in Anchorhead. Luke raised his head sleepily.
?Are we there yet where ever we?re going, Master?? he asked sarcastically. Obi-Wan couldn?t prevent a small chuckle escaping.
?Go back to sleep, Padawan,? he told him. Luke, grumbling, obeyed, settling back down on the back seat of the speeder. Obi-Wan grinned at the steady stream of mumbling, now muffled, coming from the boy. I don?t think any Padawan?s are happy moving before they have had at least eight hours sleep, he noted wryly. He could certainly recall many occasions like that between himself and Qui-Gon.

Ben swung himself easily from the speeder, making his way to the Darklighter?s door and knocking softly. Now that the speeder had stopped it seemed almost sacrilegious, somehow, to break the stillness of the night air. The door opened and Lanal Darklighter looked out, and smiled.
?Ben,? she greeted softly.
?Lanal,? he smiled in return. They had become good friends over the last couple of years, usually talking while waiting for their respective charges to emerge from the school, or at the beginning waiting while the two young friends finished messing around in the Lars? garage. ?Is Biggs ready?? he asked. Lanal smiled.
?Yes,? she laughed slightly. ?He?s demanding to know what is going on.? Obi-Wan grinned as well.
?So is Luke,? he said. Lanal shook her head in bewilderment.
?I honestly don?t know who you managed that,? she said. ?That boy has a reputation for finding out things you?d rather not him, or anyone else in their little group, knew about.?
?He is precocious that way,? Ben agreed while making a mental note to have a little talk with Luke about the need to keep a low profile even on such distant planet as this from the centre of Imperial control. ?Do you mind this at all?? he asked, changing the subject deftly. Lanal grinned.
?Not at all.? Sh
