Chapter 5

“ Rise and shine, my young Padawan.” Benaiah came into the room and turned on the light.

“ Damn, Benaiah. It is way too early to be getting up. Can I sleep for ten more parsec?” Achsah rolled over and pulled the covers over her head.

“ I wish you and even myself could sleep in some, but we cannot, because we have to meet up with Obi-Wan and Anakin. We are going on a joint mission.” Benaiah said, as sitting down on his bed.

“ Oh, yeah. Tell me why both of us are going again?” Achsah said, rolling back over and pulling the covers off her face, so she could look at Benaiah.

“ Well, Obi-Wan is going to be with a one group of people, who want a peace treaty. We are going to be with the other group and have what they want on the peace treaty and then, we will sit with both parties, after they have what they want, then they will sit together and make one treaty.” Benaiah said getting up and went over to the desk and grabbed the data chip.

“ Oh. Well, we do not want to be late, so let me get up and get ready.” Achsah sat up and swung her legs over the bed’s edge.

“ Ok. See you down in the hanger ba,y when you are done here.” Benaiah went over to the door and nodded to his Padawan, before leaving the room.

Achsah got out of the bed, went to her trunk and grabbed her clothes. She headed out of the room, went down to the hallway to the fresher and got into the shower.

“ Morning, Achsah” Nala said, as Achsah came into the room.

“ Morning, Nala.” Achsah came over to the sink.

“ So, what are you getting Anakin for his birthday?” Nala asked, as she ran the brush through her hair.

“ Um. . . am not sure at the moment.” Achsah said, as she put the paste on the small brush.

“ Well, you have a couple of weeks.” Nala said, putting her hair up in the ponytail.

“ Yes, I know his birthday is in two weeks.” Achsah said, drying her mouth.

“ Well, am going to be late for breakfast and maybe, I will be having breakfast with Anakin.” Nala said, before walking out the door.

“ Yeah, right.” Achsah said to herself.

Going to the shower stall and turning on the water, She got undressed, before stepping into the hot water. Achsah let the hot water cascade down her back and body. After her quick shower, Achsah got dressed, went back to her quarters, before heading off to the hanger bay. As she got to the turbo lift, the doors opened up and Nala stepped off the lift and she had a sad look on her face.

“ Hey, Nala. Let me guess, Anakin was not at breakfast.” Achsah smiled at Nala.

“ Um. . . yeah. He was not down in the dining hall for breakfast.” Nala said, as she had a sad look on her face.

“ I see. Well, the reason why you did not see him, is because he is in the hanger bay getting ready to go somewhere with his Master. Now, if you excuse me, I have to get to the hanger bay, where Anakin is waiting for me.” Achsah gave Nala a smile, before getting onto the lift.

The door closed on the totally shocked girl and Achsah kept on smiling, as she hit the button and the doors closed and started down to the hanger bay. The lift stopped and the doors opened up and Achsah stepped off the lift. She walked across the hanger bay, to where the ship was and she saw Anakin waiting outside the ship.

“ Hey, Master Benaiah was about to come and get you.” Anakin came up to Achsah, as she came up to the ship.

“ Hey, he needs to chill. He knew what I was doing and got here, before the time he told me too.” Achsah said, as she looked at her time piece.

“ Oh. Well, he did not tell me that. So, where were you?” Anakin asked.

“ Well, he knew I was going to take a quick shower, before coming down here.” Achsah said, as they walked up the ramp.

When they came into the lounge, Achsah gave Benaiah a dirty look, before she headed for her quarters.

“ What was that all about?” Obi-Wan asked, as he watched the young Padawan storm off to the sleeping quarters.

“ She is pissed, because I told Anakin to wait for her outside. If she did not get here soon, that I was going to ask him to get her.” Benaiah said, as Anakin walked by, just shaking his head at the two Masters, as he went to the cockpit.

“ I see, So, do you know what she was doing this whole time?” Obi-Wan said, as he got up from the chair.

“ She got slightly cranky and she went to the fresher. That is why she was not with me. Well, I guess it is time we leave here.” Benaiah said, getting up and him and Obi-Wan headed for the cockpit.

“ Anakin, why don’t you go lay down and try to get some sleep.” Obi-Wan said, as he placed his hand on his Padawan’s shoulder.

“ Ok, thank you, Master.” Anakin got up from the chair and headed for the sleeping quarters.

Anakin walked through the ship and came to one of the empty rooms. Walking into the room and closing the door, he went over to the bed and sat down, before he started taking off his boots and laying down and falling asleep. After Obi-Wan and Benaiah put the ship into hyperspace and the coordinates into the Navi-Computer, they went to their quarters and went to sleep too.
