~ Lots of Trouble, page 4 ~

He grinned, �We won�t get caught.�

Doubtfully, she looked at him, �If you say so.�

As the credits to the holo-pic rolled, Obi-Wan and Shyanne left the theatre. Unfortunately, they forgot that they had placed their half-eaten ice cream carton in the seat next to them. What made that situation even more unfortunate was the fact that the ward of a rather important political figure had decided to see the same feature and the said ward sat in the seat that contained the (melting) ice cream.

Obi-Wan and Shyanne looked back at the theatre as waves of Force-invoked Dark Side poured out of the theatre. Then, deciding it wasn�t their fault, they continued on their way to the restaurant.

Inside the theatre, however, a very sticky and pissed ward (Maul) honed the hatred toward his Master as the said Master forced him to stay through the holo-pic. It was then that he decided that he�d better Rise up and Slay his Master.

The Restaurant

~

After Obi-Wan and Shyanne were seated, the waiter looked down his rather long nose at them in disgust as he prepared to take their order. He (the waiter) hated Padawans with a passion, for no good reason, at that!

As the salads were served, Obi-Wan picked up a crouton and mischievously tossed it at Shyanne. Surprised, she caught it neatly in her hand. She narrowed her eyes and tossed it back at him. Well, that�s when the real fun started. Well, it was fun until the Maitre-D told them to leave.

Obi-Wan bowed his head in a mock admission of guilt and apologized to the Maitre-D.

Shyanne sighed. :I told you we were going to get us into trouble!:

:That�s no fair!: He protested. :You were talking about the theatre!:

She rolled her eyes as they left the restaurant they had just been banned from. :We still got into trouble, didn�t we?:

�Well, yeah. We got into trouble. So what? Trouble can be fun!� Obi-Wan exclaimed into the cold night air.

�Yeah, fun for you! When Master Reneasha finds out-�

�Hey-� He cut her off. �Who says she has to find out? I�m not going to tell her.�

She looked worriedly at him, �But�Isn�t that considered lying? And Jedi�s aren�t supposed to lie.�

He rolled his eyes and looked into the light-filled sky, �No. You just wouldn�t be telling her what happened. It�s not lying. It�s an omission of the truth.�

She pursed her lips thoughtfully, then grinned. �Well, since you�re right�Let�s have more fun! What now?�

He glanced at her and grinned. �Follow me.�

As Shyanne and Obi-Wan left the hovercar, Obi-Wan caught sight of the one person that he couldn�t stand. Well, one of them! It was one of the Council members, Mace Windu. It wasn�t that he was a bad guy; it was that he was so�strict. And that he was likely to tell Master Qui-Gon that Shyanne and him had been down to the blue district.

Shyanne glanced around. �Are you sure we won�t get ca-� She was cut off as Obi-Wan covered her mouth with his hand.

::Shh:: He told her. ::Mace Windu is right there, and if he catches us, it�ll be the end of life as we know it!::

She narrowed her eyes and gently nipped his hand. He removed it with a grin. ::So we really aren�t supposed to be here?:: She asked, confirming what he had told her earlier.

He glanced at Mace Windu, who had entered a dark, dingy building. �Nope. We aren�t. But it�s not that bad.�

�What you really mean is, is that it�ll get really bad if we get caught?� She said with a wide grin. �What exactly are we doing here, Obi?�

He looked at her then behind her. �We�re not doing anything.�

She had a puzzled look on her face. �Why not?�

�Because you�re caught.� Mace Windu answered steadily.

::Oh shit.:: She thought to herself. Obi-Wan looked at her with a frightened look in hiseyes. She grinned. ::It could have been worse, Kenobi. We could�ve been caught by Master Yoda.::

Mace Windu laughed as they were drug back to their quarters.
