Scout jumped down the last twenty feet down and landed behind Obi-Wan. All she saw was a white head, but she knew this had to be him. "Obi-Wan?" she whispered. "No way. You've let yourself go. Seriously."
Obi-Wan turned and studied her. He was sporting a beard he had in the Clone Wars, but everything was grey. Wrinkles were under his eyes, and he looked tired and worn, like a soldier coming from a battle, not sure if he won or lost. A flash of recognition lit his eyes, and he smiled brightly. The lines on his mouth told her he hadn't smiled in a while. "Your eyes never cease to amaze me," Obi-Wan said. "One of the most beautiful shades of blue and green. I can remember you anywhere, Padawan."
Scout found herself blushing in the heat. Out of habit, she bowed. She felt like she could fly. Obi-Wan was alive. He remembered her. It made her feel less of a nobody. "Master Kenobi," she said solemnly. "I hope you're still not made at me for putting the hair dye in your shampoo."
Obi-Wan laughed. "Of course not, no, Miss..." he paused for a moment, probably trying to shift through all his memories. Scout felt downcast, realizing he hadn't remembered her name. "Miss Gash." She brightened again. "Mister Redgrave, you may come out of your hiding place. They won't return for a while."

Naos
I came out and approached them, as R2 came out of his hiding place as well. "Obi-Wan....I honestly wondered if we would ever see you again after Order 66....." I said "I knew you survived, but....I never thought you would be here....." I said, and cracked a smile as I came up to stand beside them
"Nor did I think you would be here." Obi-Wan said with a wink
"We came looking for you, and happened to encounter him...." I said and motioned to Luke
"I take it you know?" Obi-Wan asked, but I could tell he already knew the answer
I simply nodded, and looked down as Luke awoke....

"Rest easy, son," Ben said, helping Luke get into a sitting position. "You've had a busy day. Probably not since you've last been in Mos Eisly."
"Ben?" Luke asked groggily. "Ben Kenobi?"
Ben simply nodded. Luke glanced at Scout, aware that something like anger crossed over her features before she kneeled down beside Ben and smiled. "That was some hit you took, Skywalker," she said. "How many fingers am I holding up?"
She held up four. She smiled when he gave her the answer and told him he did not have any serious injury. "Our new droid ran off: we were looking for him," Luke admitted. "Says he's looking for an 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'. Have you ever heard of him? Is he like a lost relative or something?"
"Obi-Wan Kenobi..." Ben muttered. "Obi-Wan... Now that is a name I have not heard in a long time..."
"You know him?"
"Know him?" Ben asked. "I am him."
"Oh..." Luke frowned, then motioned towards Artoo. "Our droid's carrying a message from you. I guess he's yours..."

"Then lets get him back to my home and see what he has...." Kenobi said, and my eyes widened
"O-I mean Ben, Luke should probably be gett-" I started but he cut me off
"It is fine my boy....." he told me
I shook my head, but I tried to convince myself Obi-Wan knew what he was doing.....

They heard a distinctive yell in the distance. "We had better hurry up: they're on the move," Obi-Wan said. Scout was given the task of helping Luke into the driver's seat and figure out a place for everyone. A little miffed by her job, Scout watched as both Obi-Wan and Naos lifted up Threepio, who had been knocked over in the confusion, and put him into a safety net in the backseat, meant for disabled droids.
Since Scout was the most lithe of them, she took the backseat herself just so she could watch Naos' face when he figured out he had to sit on Obi-Wan's lap like a toddler. She touched him through the Force, radiating amused, silent laughter.

I'll get you for this. I promise. I vowed to her, and gave a fake smirk
Soon we were off, and heading in a completely different direction. "You chose a place far out there...." I muttered to Kenobi after several minutes
"Suprised?" he asked me with a raised eyebrow, looking up at me
"Not really...." I replied with a sigh
It took about fifteen minutes to get there, and immediately when the speeder stopped I jumped off, happy to be off that man's lap....
We all walked inside, and Kenobi said to Artoo as he sat down "Now little one, lets see what you have...."

Artoo brought forth his holoprojector obediantly. The form of the woman took place again, except this time, Leia Organa recited the full message:
"General Kenobi: Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars, and he begs you for your help in his struggle against the Empire. I regret I am unable to inform you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack. We have recently aquired the Death Star plans, which I have installed inside the Astro Droid. My father will know how to retrieve them. Darrina Thel Lehon and I have sent Naos Redgrave and Scout Gash to help him get to you safely. Please Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."
"Leia, don't say my name," Scout whined. She grimaced when she caught Luke looking at her. "Was that out loud?"

I sighed and looked at Luke, and then looked at Obi-Wan. He seemed to not react at all, like no dissappointment or regret.
He saw the expressions on Scout and mine's faces, and he said to us "It is alright. He shall be accompanying us."
"You've gotta be kidding." I blurted

Scout's leg acted out of its' own accord and kicked Naos' shin. "Shut up," she hissed.
Obi-Wan cleared his throat. "My, the girl has certainly grown up into a beautiful woman," he said, staring at the empty space where Leia's hologram had disappeared. "Much like her mother..." He grunted and stood. "Luke, I've been meaning to give you this when you were old enough, but your Uncle wouldn't allow it." She started to rummage through a small box full of all kinds of Jedi artifacts. His hand closed around a small, metal cylinder, and he held it in his hands for a moment before tossing it underhand to Luke.
"Your father's lightsaber."
Scout's hand found Naos' as she looked at it. He shouldn't have that, she thought to him. That lightsaber's a Jedi killer.

I sighed inwardly I trust Obi-Wan, I just hope he knows what he's doing. I doubt Luke even knows Anakin was a Jedi, but if he is coming with us as Obi-Wan says, I guess he deserves to at least know a part of it....
