I ran into the lift and closed the doors, leaving Qui Gon to wait on the floors below. I quickly pressed the "up" button on the control panel beside the metal doors. The lift started to move.
I relaxed against the back wall, closing my eyes and concentrating on my breathing as I did so. My legs were burning from sprinting down the twisted halls. My heart was pounding. Suddenly, I had a vision.

   Snow was falling everywhere. There was some vegetation, but mostly snow and rock. From as far as the eye could see, there was white. I was standing at the mouth of a large cavern completely made of ice. It sparkled in the sunlight. My eyes swept the landscape, searching for something.
I felt a sudden presence. It was dark and forbidding. I turned around to look the figure behind me, pulling out my lightsaber as I did so. I--

   The lift suddenly came to a stop, throwing me off balance. My vision disappeared and I was left clinging to the rail, stunned and scared. I had never had a vision like that before.
The presence of the figure still clung around me. I closed my eyes and concentrated, trying to calm myself down. I heard a soft ding and the lift doors finally opened. I got of the rail and opened my eyes taking in my surroundings. I suddenly smiled, noticing the tall figure in front of me.

Obi Wan Kenobi.

   He was scratching his red hair and looking at the doors leading into the Council Chambers, mumbling something about my brother as he did so. I had not expected to be present at the meeting with the Council, but I was glad he was there. We have been friends since we were around 7 and our Masters always loved to take us on missions together.

   I smiled an walked out of the lift, completely forgetting about what happened just seconds before. I stood eye level with him and tapped his shoulder. Before I could even speak,
I was forcefully thrown on the floor.
I gasped as Obi Wan's foot suddenly slammed down on my stomach. Then,
I felt something hot settle just inches away from my neck. I looked up at
Obi Wan, completely shocked. Apparently he hadn't noticed my presence when I got off the lift.

   "What the hell, Obi Wan! It's just me! Your friend, Nicole! Nicole Dayrider!"
I shouted frantically. I was genuinely afraid he was going to kill me. I knew he could, based on training experience, but I never thought he actually would try.

   He looked at me for a moment, lightsaber still pointed at my throat.
I held my breath.
Suddenly, Obi Wan's eyes widened and he jumped off of me, quickly turning off his lightsaber and wrapped an arm around my waist. With the help of my attacker, I finally managed to standup on my own two feet with one hand on Obi Wan's shoulder and the other rubbing my back. I winced.
That's going to leave a mark.

   Still holding on to me, Obi Wan pulled out his comlink called for his master. He knew I would probably refuse the help of a medic droid since the damage wasn't that bad, but my brother would definitely want to hear about this. I looked up at him, expecting to see one of his sad 'I am so sorry' looks. Instead, all I see is a faint smile touch his lips.

"Really." I say. "Not even a sorry?"

   "I am sorry, Nicole. But..." He drew closer. "Can't I be proud of myself after I effortlessly took you down in one hit?" His smile grew wider as he attempted to pull me into a headlock.
I swung around and grabbed his arm, pulling it behind his back and forcing him to his knees.

   "Nice try, Kenobi. But you know the saying. 'Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice-'" I pushed harder on his arm. "'Shame on you'".

   He winced and used his free arm to double tap on my leg. I let go of his now-injured arm, smiling as I did so. He always gave up when I was winning. Obi Wan quickly jumped up and brushed off his tan tunic. He was about to speak when the lift doors suddenly opened. Qui Gon walked out, boots clicking on the hard wooden floor. He stopped in front of his padawan, eyes filled with disappointment.

   "Did you let my sister beat you, again?" He questioned. Obi Wan hung his head. Qui Gon was always hard on him about train hard and being one of the best padawan learners, but Obi Wan knows that his only way of achieving that title is to defeat me in combat. I stepped in front of him.

   "But Master," I protested, "he did, in fact, beat me almost 5 minutes ago. I-"

   The Council doors suddenly swung open. I quickly turned around and grabbed my lightsaber. Obi Wan jumped in front of me and grabbed his own lightsaber, facing the council doors in a defensive position. A tall woman with long, black hair glided out of the open doors, stoping to stand in front of Qui Gon.

   "Master Tallia! You scared us!" I said as I ran over to my Master, clipping my lightsaber back to my utility belt as I did so. She placed an elegant hand on my head and smiled.

   "I see you have been training while I was gone." Her eyes shone. I blushed and nodded my head. I always got giddy when someone complimented me, especially when my strict Master is the one who is giving the complement.

   "Master," Qui Gon interrupted."I must ask, are you accompanying my padawan and I to the planet Riome?"

   "Yes, in fact I am." Master Tallia said. She suddenly turned to me with a questioning look. "Well, aren't you going to ask-"

   "May I come with you?" I said as I grinned up at my master.

   She sighed. "Yes, but as long as you work on your manners while we are there."

   "Race you there, Kenobi!" I yelled as I sprinted towards the lift on the other side of the hall. We ran into the metal box and smashed the 'down' button on the wall. The doors shut and the lifted lurched downwards.

   "Another mission, huh," I said.
Obi Wan turned to me with a smile.

"Another mission."
