Summary: The epilogue to my two-part response to Knight Smeg's
first line challenge: "Qui-Gon, no one is going to
believe we're lovers." It might help to review the first two
parts. All song selections are from my own 20th high school
reunion.
Note: I'm only writing this, because Susan flattered me
unmercifully. Feedback: Well, sure. Otherwise, I'd just sit
around and read this to myself.
Disclaimer: I didn't do it. And even if I did, I didn't make a
dime.
The story so far: To impress his high school buddies, Qui-Gon
has taken Obi-Wan as his very sexy, much younger date to his

drink and declares his real feelings for his master. Shift we

"Oh, no you don't, my Studly Master of Luv." silkily "I

slide of wet skin
soft snort "Braggart." soft kisses, tired sigh
"Would you mind very much holding that check on account until
tomorrow morning, Obi-Wan?"
longsuffering sigh "And here I had my hopes up."
ruefully "I do apologize, my heart. But right now, your
hopes are about the only thing I could get up."
laughter "All right, old man. I suppose we'll just have
to turn in early. You dry off, and I'll put some music on."
splashing, sound of wet feet, door swinging
from the bedroom "I have something special for us."
a moment later
incredulously "Is that what I think it is?"
happily "Yup--it's our song. One of the bleach
blonde cheerleaders gave me the CD as a 'momento of our newly
discovered passion'." humming softly
"Obi-Wan, how could that possibly be our song?"
crestfallen "It was playing when we had our first dance
at the reunion. Don't you remember?"
"Was that the song?" exasperately "Oh good--why
couldn't it be something reasonable, like 'If I Can't Have You'
or 'How Deep Is Your Love?'"
stubbornly "Because it just isn't, Qui-Gon. This is our
song, and I think it's charming and romantic." more
forcefully "So exercise some of that vaunted Jedi serenity
and get used to it."
singing along "More than a woman. You are more than a
woman to me..."
groan "Mace is never going to let me hear the end of
this."
