I lay myself down on the bed where Obi and I were sitting, I shut my eyes but I can feel Obi's glaze.

"What is it Obi?" I say smiling, still with my eyes closed.

"Nothing, you look so peaceful, pleasant and of course, beautiful." He says, I feel him lay down next to me and I feel his thumb stroke my cheek.

"You flatter me." I say giggling, I open my eyes and see his handsome face.

"Well, it's not flattery, it's the truth." He says smiling.

"Hmm." I shut my eyes again.

"You're so tired, have you not slept well?"

"No, I have been unable to sleep peacefully..."

"Nightmares?"

"No, just inability."

"Well, get some rest, I'll awake you when we land."

I slowly drift off into a dark sleep.

I open my eyes as door opens, I watch as the commander walks into the room and sees us laying together, turns out Obi's asleep too. I watch as the commander looks puzzled, he doesn't know what to do.

"General Kenobi..." He says tapping the Jedi Master, "General Kenobi..."

"What's the matter commander?" Obi says sitting up.

"We have landed." The clone pauses, "Maybe best to wake Lady (L/n) too?"

"I'll see to it."

"Thank you commander."

The clone starts walking out too the room and he shuts the door.

"No need to wake me up Obi." I say sitting up.

"Nice sleep?"

"Better than usual." I say stretching, "Maybe it's your good luck."

"Maybe it is."

I watch as he jumps off the bed and he helps me down too. I straighten myself up and I look in a mirror, "Do I look okay?"

"As always." He says rolling his eyes.

I turn around and smile at him, he takes my hand and we walk out to meet Duchess Satine.

"Took you both long enough." She says turning around to face us.

"Yes, sorry, we got caught up." Obi says.

"I will be going to the Senate to plead my case." She says leaving, "I hope to see you again."

We watch as she walks away with her guards.
The commander comes out of the ship and onto the hangar, "There is an emergency council meeting."

"But, the senate?" I question the commander.

"The senate will have to wait." Obi says taking my hand and dragging me away.

As soon as we reach the council all off the 9 members are there. They see my visible confusion as to why the6 aren't in the senate.

"Understands, the Supreme Chancellor does." Master Yoda says, "Master Windu, speak, you shall."

"Yes."  Master Windu says crossing his arms, "Lady (Y/n), you have not made a second lightsaber since you became a Jedi Knight, have you not?"

"No, I haven't." I reply looking at my former Master.

"Good, a new batch of Younglings will be going to The Gathering and you and General Kenobi are to go with them, and you will make another lightsaber."

"Yes of course Master."

"And, there is more. We are running out of room for the future Jedi Knights." He sighs and looks at Master Yoda, "We have decided to allow you and General Kenobi to share a room."

"I beg your pardon?" I say looking at Obi.

"Since your room is bigger, General Kenobi will move into yours." Master Windu finishes, "Is that clear?"

"Yes Master." I say nodding my head.

"Best you both leave, help Obi-Wan move his stuff, you will." Master Yoda says dismissing us, "Meeting adjourned, it is."

Obi and I bow before leaving the room. We start walking to his room.

"How do you feel about this?" He asks me.

"I have no clue."

"I can sleep on the floor if you would like."

"No, that's not right."

"What do you mean?"

"Why is your door open? Did you forget to close it?"

"No..."

We walk into his room about everything seems untouched.

"Well, I think everything is fine." Obi says looking at me, "Best we start packing, yes?"

"Yes, I think we should." I say looking around, "Do you have any boxes?"

"Nope, we'll have to do this the old-fashioned way."

I watch as he picks up a bunch of items using the Force, I follow his example and we make our way to my room, luckily it's next to his. We put the items down and I go back to his room.
As I walk into the room, I get a strange feeling. I almost want to go back and call out for Obi.
I feel someone grab my hands, "Obi!!"

I hear footsteps but I also feel a gun to my back. Obi runs into the room and ignites his lightsaber.

"Get away from her." He says, a bunch of other Jedi storm into the room, Master Windu, Master Yoda and all other Masters from the council meeting, at the same time they ignite their lightsabers. "Let. Her. Go"

I feel the sensation of the gun leave my back, and I leave the attackers grasp. I look at their hooded face and I ignite my lightsaber, "Why did you attack me?"

"Even though the bounty has been released, there are still people out for you, take this as a statement." I watch as the person disappears in front of me.

"What..?" I look at all the Jedi, they look just as confused as I am.

"Go back to packing." Master Windu says, "Master Yoda and I will investigate further."

"Yes, Masters." Obi and I say bowing as they leave the room.

We continue as though nothing happened, although, I still feel something isn't right.
Obi and I start putting his things away. As soon as we are finished Master Windu comes into the room, knocking first, of course.

"Whatever is the matter, Master?" I ask gesturing him inside.

"This will be a quick chat." He says walking into the room, "You will both be leaving for The Gathering in two days. That will give you enough time to get accustomed with living together."

We watch as Master Windu leaves, "Also, you are now to attend every Council Meeting."

"What?" I say to the Master.

"What I said stands." He shuts the door.
