==================
"Separated"
The planet of Cala sparkled like a jewel in the darkness of space. 
It's three moons orbited around the planet and the sun shining
like a 
fireball in the distance. Cala was a prosperous planet with it 
valuable resource of the corma gems. Corma gems were similar to 
Corusca gem and almost as equally as valuable. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan 
looked out the view port. Obi-Wan looked in awe at the beauty of the 
planet. Maybe I should go wake up Jaina, Obi-Wan thought. Usually 
Jaina would be up here with Qui-Gon in the co-pilot chair, but she 
was asleep and Obi-Wan was helping Qui-Gon with the landing 
procedures. 
Qui-Gon looked at his padawan and was amused. This wasn't
Qui-Gon's 
first trip to Cala. He had come here many years ago when he had just 
become a knight. Cala was very beautiful, with its old temple like 
housing and the giant Castle that sparkled in the sunlight. He sense 
his padawan need to go wake up his sister.
"Go." It was all Qui-Gon had to say. Obi-Wan knew exactly what his 
master was talking about. He gave Qui-Gon a lopsided smile and got 
out of his chair. He rushed out the cockpit and ran down the 
corridors to the cabin Jaina was sleeping in. He opened the door and 
heard its usual hiss sound and hurried to Jaina's bedside.
"Jaina, wake up!" Obi-Wan said loudly. He watched as his sister roll 
over and mumbled something to soft to hear. "Comon', wake up!" He 
started to shake her. She rolled over and opened one eye. She looked 
at Obi-Wan for a moment and just stared at him. "Well, aren't you 
going to get up?" Obi-Wan asked. She shook her head and sat up. She 
looked around at her surroundings as if she had forgotten where she 
was.
"What is it, Obi-Wan. It better be good." Jaina said with a tired 
tone in her voice. Obi-Wan looked at her and started to talk.
"We nearing the planet Cala. You have to see this, Jaina! I know 
you'll like it. If you hurry up and get dressed maybe you'll
get to 
see it. Plus, I think it would be better if you help master with the 
landing procedures. So hurry up and get dress!" He walked out of the 
cabin to let his sister get dressed.
============
They walked down the ramp and on to the landing platform. The morning 
sun beaded down onto the Jedi faces. Jaina and Obi-Wan welcomed the 
warmth with happiness. The coolness of the ship was too much for a 
week trip. They pushed back their hoods and walked beside Qui-Gon, 
Obi-Wan at his left and Jaina at his right. Qui-Gon walked in long 
strides towards the blue armored guards. A guard in his mid-thirties 
came forward and stopped the Jedi.
"Are you the protectors sent from Coruscant?" The guard said in a 
mono-toned voice. He had purple eyes and sandy blonde hair with 
streaks of silver in it. He was tall for a Calan, but still
didn't 
come near the height of Qui-Gon. Calans were humanoids and the only 
thing different was their eyes and hair. Most Calans had purple or 
red eyes, but some would have blue. It was very rare and only maybe a 
few out of a couple thousand had them. Also their hair were streaked 
with a varity of colors. Either silver, green, black, and orange. 
"Yes, we were sent here to protect her highness and the heirs to the 
throne." Qui-Gon said in his usual neutral tone. The guard nodded and 
escorted them to the palace. Obi-Wan and Jaina looked around in 
amazement. Everything was so bright and colorful, cheerful. They past 
threw the gardens and courtyard. Exotic planets and animals covered 
almost every inch and they were beautiful. The whole planet was 
beautiful. Although the planet was up to date with the latest 
technology, it didn't show it. They continued through the
courtyard 
and then went back into the palace. They walked down long corridors 
filled with holopics and flowers. 
Qui-Gon took a glance behind him to see if his padawans were still 
there. He saw Jaina looking at the exotic flowers and animals that 
carelessly ran threw the hall. He sensed that she was using the Force 
to contain herself and not to wonder off. He looked to his left and 
saw Obi-Wan looking at the weapons of the Calans. They were different 
and fascinating to look at. 
// Obi-Wan, you must keep walking padawan. // Qui-Gon said sternly 
through their bond. Obi-Wan looked up to see his master look at him. 
He lowered his head and his face turned a soft red. Jaina looked at 
her brother and was glad she didn't stop to pet the rabbit
looking 
animal.
They walk for about five more minutes when the stopped at a grand 
entranceway. It was covered with Corma gems, flowers, and tapestry. A 
long purple and blue carpet led to the Queen's throne. There were 
three thrones. The one in the middle was much bigger and more 
decorated than the two that flanked it. In the middle sat the 
beautiful queen and to her sides were two teenagers, by the looks, 
Jaina and Obi-Wan's age. One boy and one girl.
"Your Highness," said the same guard from the landing platform in his 
mono-toned voice., " Here are the Jedi you asked for from the 
galactic core of the universe, Coruscant." 
The Queen looked at the Jedi with caring eyes. "Welcome, Master Jedi 
and padawans. I welcome you to Cala. I am Queen Kal'un and these
are 
my children, Christopher" She indicated him to her right, "and 
Cassandra." She looked to her left. " We are honored that you are 
here." She said with a smile. 
Qui-Gon stepped forward and bowed, as did the twins. "We are the ones 
to be honored, Your Highness." He looked at her and she seemed very 
familiar. "I am Qui-Gon Jinn, and these are my apprentices, Jaina and 
Obi-Wan Kenobi. We have come here because you are in distress, Your 
Highness. What is the matter of the problem?"
The queen looked at him as if trying to remember his face. " Master 
Qui-Gon Jinn, have you been to Cala before?" She asked and leaned 
back into her throne. Her two children staring at the Jedi. Obi-Wan 
and Jaina looked at the queen then at her children. Cassandra had 
bright purple eyes, as did her brother, with blonde hair, streaked 
with silver. She had pale skin and a tiny frame, from what they could 
tell. Christopher had a darker shade of blonde with orange streaks 
through his hair. His frame was not as small as his sisters, but 
close. 
Qui-Gon looked at the Queen. "Yes, I have been to Cala before, Your 
Highness." 
"You were here with another Jedi. A dark skinned man. I remember you 
from when I was a child." She sat up straighter in her throne. Jaina 
and Obi-Wan looked at their master. He didn't tell them he had
been 
here before.
"Yes, it was one of my first missions, Your Highness. I was sent her 
to settle as dispute between colonies."
"Ah, delightful!" She smiled. "My father, the former King of Cala, 
said you and your fellow friend, were great Jedi. I am very so 
honored for you to be here. Please, take a seat and we will discuss 
this matter at hand." 
Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Jaina took a seat in front of the Queen. Qui-
Gon nodded for the queen to continue.
"Ah, were to start." The queen pondered. "First thing first. 
Assassins have been hired from an unknown. This man or woman has sent 
countless numbers off them and I fear my children's safety.
Cassandra 
and Christopher are both 14 years old and have many different 
opinions about things. Cassandra wishes to go to the Academy of Arts 
and Literature, while my son, Christopher, wishes to go to the 
Academy of Flights. The academies are far away from home and very far 
from each other. I asked you to protect my children as well as find 
the assassins and the culprits."
Qui-Gon thought for a moment. "With each child off on different parts 
of the world and you here, we would have to split up. Would you 
accept if one of my padawans protects on of your children?" Jaina and 
Obi-Wan looked at their master startled. Both knew they could 
protect, but usually they had at least either each other or their 
master beside them.
"That's what I was aiming for Master Jinn. I learned about the
Jedi 
when I was a little girl. I learned that a Master may only take one 
apprentice and that's it. I found out that you had taken on two, 
which is against the code, but your masters allowed it. That is why I 
asked for you. Instead of just two Jedi, one master and one 
apprentice, there are three of you. I ask you Master Jinn, may 
Padawan Jaina Kenobi protect Cassandra while away and Padawan Obi-Wan 
Kenobi protect Christopher?"
Qui-Gon went into deep thought. Jaina and Obi-Wan had never been 
separated during a mission. They had been separated from him before, 
but never from each other. He looked over to Jaina who nodded. He 
could feel she didn't want to be separated, but she knew she had
to 
accepted. He looked over to Obi-Wan and got the same feeling.
"That will be fine, Your Highness, but the last time I was here, your 
people did not like the Jedi, with the exception of the Royal House." 
He said with worry in his voice. He didn't want Obi-Wan and Jaina 
getting hurt.
"That is true, Master Jinn. I have a plan, never the less. While 
protecting Cassandra, Jaina will be disguised as one of her 
handmaidens, and before you ask about her padawan braid, that would 
be easy. The handmaidens have braids throughout their hair and then 
held back in a ponytail. Jaina's padawan braid will be looked
upon as 
just a braid. Jaina will be the most trusted handmaiden and will 
always be at Cassandra's side along with three more behind." She 
stopped for a moment and looked at Jaina. "Do you agree with the 
arrangements Padawan Jaina." Jaina nodded, "Yes, Your Highness. I 
will do what is in my power to protect Princess Cassandra from any 
harm." The queen smiled warmly at her. "Thank you, Padawan Jaina. 
Now, for Padawan Obi-Wan. You were the tricky one." She smiled at 
him. "You will be, like Jaina, a royal guard to Christopher. I have 
asked the best hair designer to make you a wig that will not come 
off, not even in the shower. It's hair color will match to yours
and 
will hide the braid and the ponytail. Like Jaina, you will be the 
most trusted guard. No one will know of your identities, only 
Cassandra, Christopher, I, and the guards and handmaidens will know. 
Padawan Obi-Wan, do you agree with your arrangements?"
Obi-Wan nodded. "Yes, Your Highness. I will protect the prince with 
all my power." 
She smiled again. "You two are very brave and your master should be 
very proud of you."
Qui-Gon smiled and placed his hands on his apprentices'
shoulders. "I 
am, Your Highness." Jaina and Obi-Wan shared happiness and 
gratefulness through their bond.
The queen clasped her hands together. "Well then, we shall get Jaina 
and Obi-Wan ready." They headed towards the door behind the thrones 
and got into disguise.
===============
Jaina looked at herself in the mirror and stared in disbelief. She 
had never worn a dress in her life and found it uncomfortable. She 
had her hair in braids then pulled back into a low ponytail. The 
dress she had on was dark blue at the top that faded to purple. It 
was hooded and covered her eyes. They had put purple eye transformers 
in her eyes and silver streaks in her hair that would not come out 
without a special shampoo. She could feel her lightsabre at her side 
underneath the cloak of the out fit. She kept looking into the mirror 
trying to get use to her eyes. She pushed back the hood and looked 
over to the Royal dresser. 
"You look magnificent, darling." She smiled and grabbed Jaina's
arm 
and sat her in a seat. "Now, for some make-up." Jaina looked at her 
if she had gone crazy. Make-up? I don't think so. Jaina wiggled
and 
tried to get away from the woman.
"What are you doing?" the woman asked, "Sit still." She said sternly 
and began to apply the make-up. When she was done, she turned Jaina 
around to face the mirror. Jaina looked at herself and cocked her 
head. This wasn't *too* bad. She thought to herself. She had a
light 
blue eye shadow and natural colored lipstick and cover up. She got up 
from her seat and walked to the next room where Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon 
were. She walked in to see Obi-Wan getting into his jacket and Qui-
Gon helping him. She giggled and they turned around. Obi-Wan's
jaw 
seemed to drop to the floor and Qui-Gon's eyes were wide. Jaina 
looked at them strangely and asked, "What?" 
Obi-Wan walked over to get a better look. "*You* have make-up on?"
"Yes, Obi-Wan." She looked at his hair. It was different from what 
she was used to, but it wasn't bad. Qui-Gon walked over and
pushed 
down Jaina's hood. Her hair was braid and he could not tell that
she 
had a padawan braid. He smiled, "You look..uh..beautiful." He
didn't 
know how to tell her. He was used to saying to boys that they were 
handsome, but he wasn't used to handling girls and their
feelings. 
Jaina blushed and nodded. "Thank you Master." The queen rushed in and 
took a good look at the three Jedi. "Ah, good you're ready.
Jaina, 
Obi-Wan, you're transports leave tomorrow at dawn. Cassandra and 
Christopher had made requests that they want to get to know you." 
Jaina and Obi-Wan nodded and followed their master out of the room.
==================
Queen Kal'un lead the way to the courtyard. There, Cassandra sat
on 
the side of a fountain, while Christopher was trying to catch 
something in the water. Jaina and Obi-Wan shared some thoughts about 
the prince and princess through their bond. They were both think the 
samething. Are these two going to be spoiled little brats? The answer 
came to them when the Queen left with Qui-Gon.
Cassandra jumped off her seat and came forward. "Hi, I told my mom 
that I wanted to get to know you better since we'll be spending a
lot 
more time together." She said smiling. Jaina smiled back. "I'm
glad 
to have finally to meet you, Your Highness." She bowed. Obi-Wan had 
gone off to talk to Christopher. Jaina heard laughing and looked 
up. "No, no need of formality. Just call me Cassie. No, Your 
Highness, Princess, stuff like that. OK?" Jaina nodded and 
smiled. "Ok, Cassie."
Obi-Wan and Christopher were having the same conversation. Soon all 
four teenagers were talking and playing. 
=================
Qui-Gon looked at Jaina and was sorry to wake her up so early. She 
had to get up earlier than Obi-Wan so that she could go and get her 
hair and make-up done. He shook her lightly until she woke 
up. "Master?" She looked at him questionably. "I'm sorry Jaina,
but 
you must get up. You have to get dress and go to get your hair and 
make-up done." Jaina groaned and got up. Qui-Gon left the room so she 
could get dressed. 
After Jaina got dressed, she walked over to Obi-Wan's bed side
and 
whispered in his ear, goodbye. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and a 
hug, before she left the room.
Qui-Gon walked Jaina to the Royal Dresser's room. There, three
more 
handmaidens were also getting ready. Jaina sat in her chair and let 
the dresser do her work. In about an hour or two she was done and 
ready to board the ship. Qui-Gon had gotten Obi-Wan and the watched 
Jaina board her ship with Cassandra. Obi-Wan sent her a Force message 
and watched the ship disappear into the horizon. He and Qui-Gon 
walked back to get ready and knew that he would be leaving soon also.
===========
For the second time this morning, Qui-Gon watched his padawan leave. 
He knew it would be hard for all of them and sent them warm, loving 
thoughts. He walked off the platform and walked with the queen back 
to the palace.
