Chapter 2~Cafetiria food
"It's been three weeks since master Qui-Gon and Xanatos has been gone. Masters, I am still worried about young Obi-Wan. He is more talkative then normal but he is not communicating well with the other initiates."
Master Engle stood in front of the council members verbalizing her worry for the young boy.
The masters didn't respond for a moment, making Sarah most uncomfortable.
"Grow out of it, he will." Yoda said.
"Was there any trauma to the boy when he was a baby? Is he afraid of something?"
"No, he's just different." Mace said and reflected on the conversation.
"Different how?"
"Mmmmm, time will tell."
Sarah looked thoughtful as the masters sat in front of her.
"Is that all you whish to speak about?" Mace asked.
"Yes master."
"Then you may go."
She bowed respectfully and walked to the hanger where she would be waiting for the arrival of Qui-Gon Jinn.

"That's a beautiful picture Obi-Wan, what is it?"
"It's me."
"You?"
"Yepp, all growed up."
"Well, you're a very handsome knight."
The three year old blushed at the comment made by Anna Bore, Master Engle's padawan. Obi-Wan had grown fond of her ever since she had come back from her solo mission. She was seventeen years old now with beautiful long golden hair and light green eyes.
"I heard that Master Qui-Gon and Xanatos was due back today from their mission."
"Ky-Gin comen' back?"
"Yepp."
"Oh boy!" Obi-Wan shouted and ran to look out the window waiting to see Qui- Gon and Xanatos come to see him.
~*~
Sarah waited for a half an hour before she saw the ship that was bringing Qui-Gon and Xanatos back.
It landed five minutes later and Qui-Gon walked off the ship and onto the hanger. Xanatos close behind.
"Hello Master Qui-Gon, Xanatos." She said and bowed, the two bowed back and they walked toward the temple entrance.
"I hope your mission was successful." Sarah said looking at Qui-Gon. She hadn't notice before but he was almost scary when she looked at him. Qui- Gon was very intimidating at his 6foot 4inch frame, large build, and intense blue eyes. But she knew him, and knew that he is very kind. His facial expression was neutral most of the time. When he talked to her his eyes glittered and pearly white teeth shone.
Lost in her thoughts Sarah didn't notice that Qui-Gon was looking at her, his eyebrows in an arch.
Blinking back to reality she blushed and walked back to the initiate training room.
"Master."
"Yes padawan?"
"I think Master Sarah is infatuated with you."
Qui-Gon looked at his padawan with the same expression he did with Sarah.
"I doubt it."
"I wouldn't be so sure." Xanatos said.
Qui-Gon smiled inwardly and walked with his padawan to their room.
~*~
"Master Sarah where is Ky-Gin?"
"I'm not sure. He might have gone to rest or eat. It was a long trip home."
"Why didn't he come see me?"
"He will don't worry Obi-Wan."
He frowned and went back to drawing.
Sarah felt sympathy for the young boy as she realized Xanatos would not be finished with his training by the time Obi-Wan will be able to become a padawan. That would mean Qui-Gon would not be able to be his master.
Sara sighed, watched Obi-Wan a little longer then went to check on the baby initiates.
Obi-Wan looked around at the other children in the room and realized there wasn't anyone watching. So silently he got off his chair and ran to the door. He was wondering which way he should go when he heard Master Windu walking down the hall.
Quickly Obi-wan turned to the left and headed down the hall as fast as his little feet could carry him. Hearing voices coming from a room he went in. It was the cafeteria. Thinking that would a good place to start his search.
~*~
"Xanatos, I think I will be heading to the cafeteria to get some dinner, you can join me if you wish."
"No thank you master. I think I will just meditate."
Qui-Gon nodded and walked out of the room.
Walking down the hall he thought about Obi-Wan as he knew he might not be able to take him as his padawan. He walked into the cafeteria and felt a little pull in the force.
There sitting in the far corner was Obi-Wan.
Qui-Gon couldn't help but smile as he soaked in the moment of the little boy. He was sitting with his knees pulled up to his chest and his small face in his hands, a little frown forming on his lips.
Qui-Gon quietly walked toward him. Sitting sown he mimicked Obi-Wan's position.
Finally, after about two minutes sitting that way, getting all kind of stares from other jedi as they passed by. Obi-Wan looked over at the older master.
"Why didn't you come see me?" he asked, a small tear gliding down his cheek.
Qui-Gon wiped it away and pulled the young boy onto his lap.
"Obi-Wan, I wanted to come see you but I had to settle in first." Qui-Gon started, trying to explain.
"Oh, then you was hungry?"
"Yes. So I came to the cafeteria."
"Oh." Obi-Wan said looking at his hands.
Qui-Gon was trying to thing of something else to say when the aroma of steamed potatoes filled his nose.
"Would you like to get something to eat?"
"Yeah!"
"Are you hungry?"
"Yea hungy."
"Okay let's get some food."
"Yummmmm food."
Qui-Gon laughed and they walked to a table.
