Title: Introductions all round

Author: Master Tashina Sedai

Rating: G I guess, not too good at this

Warnings: hmm, spoilers for TPM perhaps, allthough I can't see how anyone would bne here if they haven't seen it…

Note: This is a later incident in my on going, and muddled, saga. (Since the method of posting series has lately been debated when I have finished the whole lot I will post it as a set, but I need to post as I write it, or I'll never get the whole lot done.)

Note #2: this is AU, very AU. TPM happened, except 'that scene' didn't, this will be elaborated if I ever write the rest of this… Importantly, Anakin still became Obi-wan's padawan after he was knighted and Naath was Qui-gon's padawan, again you will have to read the rest of the series, when I write it, to find out anything interesting… (This is me being annoying like Lucas, te he). Also, the entire series will be posted, in order onto my web site when I get around to it (most bits will be put up when they are written).

Disclaimer: I am not now, nor to the best of my knowledge have ever been George Lucas. If I was I would be rich and famous and wouldn't be writing this, also I would be old and male and I'm not. Please don't sue, you already got all my money from merchandising…

"Arwen, this is Master Jinn, and Master-for-all-of-two-days-and-0lording-it-over-me-already Kenobi, everyone, this is my padawan Arwen Evenstar of Midgard."

"Welcome to our bizarre life lady."

"Don't scare her Obi-Wan."

"Eowyn, this is Knight Sedai…"

"But, because I'm going to take at least part of the responsibility for teaching you you will call me master, like Arwen has to."

"Pretentious little girl, anyway, everyone, this is my new padawan"

"Sucker for punishment."

"And other things."

"Obi-Wan!"

"Anyway! This is my padawan, Eowyn al Rohan."

"I know that name, someone, hmm, d'Avrenay al Rohan."

"A member then of one of the smaller branches of the family."

"Ah. And Obi-Wan, are you going to introduce us to your padawan?"

"Yes, this is Matrim."

"Any other names."

"Matrim du Telos Knight Sedai."

"Obi-Wan!!!! Just how thick are you."

"What?"

"How many people in this galaxy do you think have that second name."

"Just because he came from the same planet…"

"Telos has a rather small nobility, he's probably his brother."

"Equally he could be his fifth cousin seven times removed."

"Qui, I think you should go and sit down before you fall down. Matrim, do you know anything about your family."

"No."

"Good, never bring them up, ever."

"Yes master."

"OK, what now."

"Obi-Wan and I are going to a reception at Chancellor Palpatine's."

"What!"

"We're going…"

"I heard, you mean, I'm supposed to get these three sorted. Where's Anakin gone."

"I think he said he was going to Naboo for a few days."

"Right, no chance he's going to move out of here is there?"

"No, not really."

"Great."

The two masters left for the 'party' at the chancellor's and Naath was left with three young padawans.

"Right, you two girls will have, we don't have enough space, not if Anakin is going to stay in residence."

"Yes master."

"Lay off on the yes master, it's disconcerting."

"Right you are."

"Right. That's Anakin's room" pointing at a door "Do not go in there, ever. That is our room" pointing to a second door "No entry unless you are told to or there's some big problem that can't wait till morning. That will be Matrim's room, and that will be Arwen and Eowyn's. Got that. You will keep out of each others rooms unless your invited in, with seven of us sharing this space privacy is very important. There's the 'fresher, don't take hours to get ready every morning, there are seven of us. Right, curfew for you lot is eleventh hour, be back late on pain of lots of pain. Since, what you didn't notice, there are seven of us we tend not to eat together. Eat what you want here or in the canteen whenever. We keep some fruit and bread and things, if you want to cook you'll have to get some food. One thing, every seventh day Qui insists we all eat together up here, don't worry Obi-Wan cooks he's good at it. That's about it. It's late, you lot can do what you like but be back by eleventh hour, I'm going out, I never like to be here when the others get back when they've been out. Oh and the young man with the blonde hair, that's Anakin, knight Skywalker, be careful, he's highly strung." Naath vanished into the room she shared with Qui and Obi, changed into leather that would have been revealing if she had had anything worth revealing and a long cape (so the other Jedi didn’t' see her) and left to get at least as drunk Qui and Obi would at the reception.

"Weird."

"Not to bad Eowyn, at least we get to stay together."

"Yes, but, weird."

"What's with my name."

"Du Telos?" Arwen, who was something of an expert on temple affairs, said "That was Master Jinn's second padawan's name, Xanatos du Telos."

"Knight Sedai then was closer than Master Kenobi, Xani was my first cousin, the family never talk about him anymore."

"With good reason. So what do we do now."

"Now we encounter an advantage to the 'weird' set up here, at least there are three of us together."

"Hmm, yes, but I would like to eat."

"Should we go down to the canteen then?"

"Why not, not like there's anyone else to tell us what to do here."

"I suppose."

All three of them were back early and in bed before Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan got back from the chancellor's, they were, as Naath had suspected they would be, very drunk.

"Obi-Wan."

"Yes mathter."

"you don't have to s…s…say thththat any mmmore."

"wwwwhat?"

"yyourrr drrrrunk"

"ssso're yyou."

At which point Naath staggered in through the door.

"Even..evi…eva…hi."

"hi."

"what he thaid."

The three of them managed to get to bed before collapsing in a heap, the next morning (typically) Anakin was playing music as loudly as possible and Arwen, Eowyn and Matrim were slightly disorientated and unsure of themselves.

"My head hurts."

"You drunk too much."

"So did you, come on."

"ARWEN."

"Yes master."

"You eaten?"

"Yes."

"Good, come with me, I'm not putting up with these two walking headaches all day."

"Take the others, please."

"Fine, we'll go down to the gym, and they can practice, and I'll get rid of my headache while you two mope up here."

"Whatever."
