Qui-gon stalks through the room of thousand fountains. Away from everybody he really doesn't want to talk to. A year had passed since his second padawan had chosen the dark side because of his corrupted father. Qui-gon fought tooth and nail to save his son but nothing seemed to get through to him. In the end it didn't matter he'll never get his son back. And his poor first padawan never deserved his yelling.
Dooku was the one that grabbed his padawan away from him. Saying he would need time alone. Thinking about this threatened tears to run down his face. Qui-gon leans into the trees, trying to get the thoughts out of his head. But they just kept coming to him.
(It was your fault I fell)
(What type of master abandoned their padawan)
(You don't get to have forgiveness)
(You should never be a master)
Qui-gon let out a frustrated sigh. Maybe meditating would help him. He moved himself to his meditating stance. Close his eyes and let the force flow around him. They don't seem to reach back to him. Qui-gon frowned but continued reaching in the force.
As he sat there next to the tree. He felt a small hand touch his knee. Qui-gon doesn't do anything. Too busy meditating to see who this was. Then the force suddenly flowed through him bright for once. Getting rid of all the negative thoughts in his mind. Qui-gon finally opened his eyes in shock, finding a very tiny ginger hair child, baby? On his lap looking very happy.
The baby/child looked up to him. Galaxy color eyes right into Qui-gon heart. Their round faces have small freckles. And sadly small bags were under their eyes. Qui-gon couldn't stop himself from melting because of the adorable baby/child on his lap. The baby/child smiles brightly at Qui-gon, And Qui-gon couldn't help himself and smile back.
" Hello, What is your name little one."
" M obi-wan."
" Why are you such a happy little one?"
" Because you're smiling again!" Qui-gon smile fell and he tilted his head.
" What do you mean?" Obi-wan maneuvers his body to face Qui-gon better. Placing his tiny, soft hand on Qui-gon's cheek.
" Your smile, you lost your smile so I came to help. And it helps." Qui-gon stares back at obi-wan. This small baby/child somehow knew that he was not happy because of his last padawan. Somehow this baby/child knew where he was and came to him. A total stranger, he never met before. Obi-wan let his hand down, still smiling.
Qui-gon gave obi-wan a warm smile. Placing his large hand on obi-wan's small face. Obi-wan seems to lend into his hand.
" Thank you obi-wan." Obi-wan kept smiling but stopped to yawn. Then lend on to Qui-gon chest.
" Tired little one."
" Hm." Nodded on his chest. Qui-gon picked obi-wan up before he lay down on the grass with obi-wan on his chest again. Obi-wan's tiny hands grip his tunic.
" I think we both can get some sleep don't you think?" having a hand on obi-wan back this time. Obi-wan doesn't respond and that's okay. Qui-gon watches the tree's leaves sway in the wind. The light sparkles through the leaves. The force seems to cover Obi-wan like a blanket. Qui-gon breathed in deep and let out a long sigh. Listening to obi-wan's soft snoring.
" Sweet dreams obi-wan." Closing his eyes.
Yoda and his old formal padawan Dooku stroll through the room of thousand fountains to find his grandPadawan. Qui-gon had been ignoring their calls for two hours and one of the younglings from the dragon clan had been missing for two hours.
" This seems like a coincidence. With Qui-gon not answering any of our calls and how this youngling?"
" Obi-wan it is. Youngling I know. Terrible visions he gets. Help him, I do."
" Ah, I think I had met him once. Sifo-Dyas had helped him get out of those visions."
" Hm yes, hardly sleep he does."
" Poor child." Suddenly Yoda's ears perk up. Eyes widen from surprise. Dooku follows his master's eyes to an area next to one of their great trees. Qui-gon was laying on the grass with the missing youngling in his arms.
" I think we solved our mystery of the missing youngling."
" Yes, asleep they are. Wake them up we should not. Happy the force is." Dooku reaches out in the force feeling how bright the force shines. He let a smile form on his face. It's great to see his old padawan finally happy once more.
" I think we should tell master Dreamer where his missing youngling is."
" Yes go we must. disrupt them we should not."
" Agreed." Following his old master away from Qui-gon and his youngling. Qui-gon was still smiling, even in his sleep. Something in the force changes for the better. A new light swirled around the master and youngling.
