Star Wars One Shots

Lessons ~ Obi-Wan Kenobi

"Return to stance 1." I said to the younglings.

Their lightsabers falling back into a resting stance. They all smiled since I had just taught them a series of different defensive stances.

"Now repeat the stances." I spoke sternly, the younglings held their lightsabers up.

A small probe flew around each one of them. They followed it with their lightsabers, blocking the small laser it shot out. I smiled happily as I watched them. All of them were doing amazing.

"Ow.."

I heard someone whimper out. It was very quiet and I almost missed it from the sound of the blasts. All of the kids were focused on watching the probe. I scanned them looking for someone who looked like they were struggling. A girl stood out to me as she rubbed her side with one of her hands and held up the lightsaber to block the other laser from the probe. I walked towards her. Her eyes looked at me with worry and fear.

"Calm yourself young one." I spoke softly as I moved the probe away, stopping it from the exercise.

She looked down her brown hair falling in front of her face.

"Take a rest for a bit. We can talk after the lesson." I said again.

She looked up at me, her eyes wide before she nodded. She walked towards the seats in the room and sat cross-legged on one. I sighed softly as I stood up straight. I walked back toward the front of the group. I watched as the probes slowly turned off and floating in front of the kids. They all looked back at me when they all turned off. I crossed my arms over my stomach.

"I'm very proud of all of you."

"Master (l/n), I didn't mean to interrupt." I turned around to see Obi-Wan standing in the doorway.

I smiled softly. "It's alright. We were just about to end."

He smiled and walked into the room. "Hello, children."

The younglings all spoke out in hellos and smiles. He stood next to me.

"They just learned defensive stances today." I said.

Obi-Wan nodded. "A very important lesson. You might think it's a boring part but defense is the strongest part of any attack."

"Master Kenobi, shouldn't the offense be more powerful than the defense?" A small boy asked, looking up at the Jedi master.

"All things should be in balance." He spoke, kneeling to the younglings' height.

I smiled softly watching him speak to the kids. Obi-Wan continued to talk to the kids and I looked over at the small girl. She was staring at her hands, sadness in her face. I could sense her feelings. My heart sank in my chest a little looking at her.

"Alright, thank you, Master Kenobi, but it's time for the children to go on." I said softly, placing my hand on his shoulder.

Obi-Wan looked up at me and smiled brightly. He nodded and stood up straight.

"Thank you, Masters!" The children exclaimed and ran out of the room.

I giggled as they ran out. Obi-Wan turned to me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Obi-Wan not now." I whispered out pushing him away.

His eyebrows furrowed. "Why not?" He asked.

I nodded my head towards the girl that was still sitting in the chair. She was looking at the two of us with wide eyes.

"I thought Jedi weren't allowed to have attachments." She said dumbfounded.

My face heated up.

"No, we're nothing like that." Obi-Wan said, moving away from me. "What's your name young one?" He asked and walked closer to her.
