Qui-Gon strode angrily into the room. "Where is he?"

"Master Yoda wanted to speak with him privately. That boy really has done it this time. You must put a rein on him Qui-Gon. He's getting far to reckless." Mace responded.

"Oh, I guarantee that after I'm through with him he'll never think of doing something like this again." Qui-Gon replied ominously.

Earlier that day:

"Come on Obi, were going to be late for class!" Bant said as she pulled Obi-Wan towards the classroom. Obi-Wan, who was still half asleep, looked at his chrono. "Oh Sith" His eyes shot open. "We've got 2 minutes to get there. Lets go!" They took off at a dead run, knowing it was forbidden to run in the temple. Lucky for them the halls were mostly deserted. The slid to a halt right in front of the class and took a calming breath. Bant opened the door and they quietly slid into their seats.

"Obi-Wan, Bant...so nice you could join us this morning" Master Callum said. "Now that you have graced us with your presence we can begin our lesson."

Obi-Wan and Bant blushed. "Everyone grab a partner and go to your lab stations. I've come up with a few experiments that will help you understand the recent lessons we've done." Obi-Wan, Reeft and Garen all moved to Bant. There was a slight fight since she was the best at chemistry but Reeft won out and pulled her toward a lab table. Obi- Wan and Garen went to another. "I hate chemistry," Garen mumbled. "It's sooo boring." Obi-Wan nodded in agreement. He actually knew more that he let on. Not as much as Bant but enough for the class to be easy.

Master Callum watched as his class worked on the experiments he'd given them. Everyone was doing fine so he sat down to grade some papers. He was so absorbed in what he was doing he didn't notice Garen and Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan was bored. They'd already done the experiments but didn't want to let Master Callum know. If they did he'd give them some 'busy work' lessons. They definitely didn't want that. "Garen," Obi-Wan said with a menacing grin. "Lets do an experiment of our own." Garen saw the look in his eyes and knew what ever Obi-Wan had in mind would cause trouble. But he was bored too. "All right...what did you have in mind?"

Obi-Wan remembered an experiment they just did. They captured gas in a bottle and held a match over the opening. As the gas slowly leaked out it caught on fire, causing a candle like flame to hover over the opening. He thought it'd be fun to recreate it, but with a little twist. He looked around for a glass container but could only find a plastic bottle.

"This will do fine." Obi-Wan said. "Keep an eye on Callum." Garen looked over at the Master and saw him absorbed in grading papers, then turned back to Obi-Wan. He watched as bottle filled with gas. "Hold this" Obi-Wan said as he handed the bottle to him. Garen held the bottle carefully as Obi-Wan put a match to the opening. A small flame hovered in the middle of the opening. / Okay, now for some fun / "Hold it away from you." He told Garen. Garen put his arms out straight. Just then Obi-Wan smashed the bottle, and the flame flew up into the air and across the ceiling with a 'whoosh'. They watched in horror as the flame made it's way towards Master Callum's desk.

Master Callum saw the flame shoot across the ceiling toward him. He quickly centered himself and with the force extinguished the flame. / That was close...whoever did that is going to be a very sorry Padawan. / He released his anger into the force and faced the class. All of his students had a shocked expression on their face. All except two.

"Obi-Wan, Garen, front and center," he said as he pointed to a spot in front of him.

/ Oh Sith, I am sooo dead. What possessed me to even try that stunt? Qui-Gon is going to kill me. /

Yoda's quarters:

"Qui-Gon" Yoda said sternly. " In trouble your Padawan is. Almost set the lab on fire he did. Need to stop this careless behavior you do."

Qui-Gon glared at his Padawan. "What exactly did you do, Padawan?" he asked quietly. Obi-Wan looked up at Qui-Gon. He saw the anger simmering just beneath the surface. / He's using his calm, quiet 'you're in deep bantha fodder' voice. I'm in so much trouble. I better come clean... not like that will save my backside / "Ummm... you see Master Garen and I..."

Qui-Gon listened to Obi-Wan's tale, his anger growing with each word. When he was finished Qui-Gon took a calming breath. "So, let me understand this. You almost set the chemistry lab on fire because you were bored?"

/ Damn, it sounded so much better when I told it / " Yes, Master." "Where is Garen now?"

"His Master just came and picked him up. I believe they went back to their quarters." Mace answered.

Qui-Gon grabbed his Padawan by his braid. "That is exactly where you are going, young man. I have had enough of your pranks. You are to stand in the corner and wait for me. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Go." Qui-Gon pulled him out the door by the braid and gave him a little push towards their quarters. Obi-Wan walked quickly, rubbing his head at the base of his braid.

"Master" Qui-Gon said. "I apologize for Obi-Wan's behavior. I will make sure it doesn't happen again."

"Like you, your Padawan is." Yoda replied. "Have felt my gimer stick many times, you have."

"That I have Master, that I have. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a Padawan to kill."

Qui-Gon's Quarters:

Obi-Wan stood in the corner wishing he could just disappear. / Why am I so stupid. Qui-Gon is really going to let me have it this time / His bottom clenched at that thought. He jumped slightly when he heard to door open. He heard Qui-Gon remove his cloak and sit in his chair. "Come here Padawan." Obi-Wan walked to him slowly head down.

"Look at me Padawan." Qui-Gon said sharply. Obi-Wan's head shot up. "Now. You know what you did was unacceptable. Apparently the punishment I gave you after your last prank did not leave a good enough impression. I plan to remedy that. You know the drill."

Obi-Wan dropped his pants and underwear. He slowly bent himself across Qui-Gon's lap.

Qui-Gon got him situated and laid his hand on the exposed bottom.

"What is this spanking for?"

"For almost setting the lab on fire."

"Because..."

"Because I was bored. Please Master... don't spank me!" SWAT...SMACK..."Oww, Master please"...SMACK...SMACK

"I will not tolerate anymore pranks. You are going to start conducting yourself like a Padawan should. Do you understand me?"

"Owwww! Yes Master...OUCH! Please stop...I'm sorry!"

"Not as sorry as your going to be"

Qui-Gon lit into Obi-Wan's backside. When he was finished his bottom was a deep red. Obi-Wan jumped off Qui-Gon's lap and started to do the 'I've just been spanked dance'.

"Obi-Wan, that's enough." Qui-Gon said with a smile as he pulled him into a hug.

"I'm sorry, Master. Please forgive me. I won't misbehave again. I promise." Obi-Wan sobbed.

Qui-Gon laughed. "Don't make promises you can't keep Padawan. I remember I made that same promise to my Master."

"How long did you keep your promise?"

"Only until my bottom stopped hurting. Did I ever tell you about the time Mace and I..."

THE END
