Hey, guys! This is my second fanfic ever, so I hope you like it! I'm going to make this completely fan-based. If you like it, review. If you don't like it, review. If you want me to update and add another chapter, let me know. And, of course, if you have any ideas as to what should happen next, I'd love to hear them! REVIEW!

"Blast, this is why I hate driving!"

Obi-Wan Kenobi could only watch and clutch the steering wheel as he sailed over the edge of a cliff. Everything went completely dark.

"Master, the point of this game is to stay on the road," his former apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, said pointedly. "Falling into the lava is not the key to success," he added, smirking.

Obi-Wan stared straight ahead, ignoring him. Stating the obvious certainly did not help his mood. "Can we try a different level?" he asked, hating that he had to move to a simpler course in order to make it to the finish line.

Anakin shrugged. "Fine. I'll pick something nice and easy, okay?"

"Well, it's about time! You've made a point of choosing the worst possible levels all morning."

"Bowser's Castle is not that difficult," Anakin countered. "You've just got to time your moves and avoid the rings of fire."

"You call that easy?"

"Of course. Are you a Jedi, or what? Use the Force to guide you."

Obi-Wan, now staring at his steering wheel, did not respond. He didn't want to admit that he had in fact been using the Force. If he hadn't been, he would probably have ended up over the cliff much more often.

While Anakin chose a level, Obi-Wan asked himself why he was playing a child's game with his former apprentice. The two of them had been playing since they'd gotten up this morning. It all started with a simple dare.

"If you focused more on your saber skills and less on your flying, you'd overtake Master Yoda any day," Obi-Wan had said in response to Anakin's constant talk about space travel.

"You're just jealous that you can't beat me at anything," Anakin snorted. "I'm better at fighting, flying, and using the force. Admit it."

"I will admit no such thing, nor will I stoop to your level and start an argument about who is better." He decided not to add that there was no competition over who was better at using the force.

Now, here he was, duking it out with Anakin via video game. Somehow, Anakin had used his superior convincing skills to goad him into playing MarioKart Wii. Obi-Wan hadn't known what he was getting himself into when he accepted the challenge. He figured that Anakin's special ability ended with real transportation. He doubted that the Jedi Knight would be as skilled virtually as he was in the real world.

He was wrong.

He should have figured that Anakin would only challenge him if he knew without a shadow of a doubt that he would win. Typical Anakin.

"How about this one, Master?" Anakin asked, directing Obi-Wan's attention back to the matter at hand.

"I trust your judgment."

He was wrong again.

"Rainbow Road!" Obi-Wan moaned as he fell off the edge of the rainbow-colored path and burned in the atmosphere of the planet below. "Anakin, have you lost your mind?"

"Of course not," Anakin replied. "I just enjoy watching you fail. Pwning you is my specialty."

"Of course." He had fallen right into the trap. He should have looked at the level before giving his approval. He suspected that Anakin would have picked the level anyway, whether or not his former mentor approved.

He summoned the Force for help, but it was no use. He could not seem to stay on the path. After several minutes of humiliation, the avatar in eleventh place crossed the finish line for the third lap, leaving Obi-Wan stopped in the middle of the road. He had not made it through the first lap.

"Don't be sore, Master," Anakin said cheerfully. His eyes were on the score results, revealing that his avatar, Mario, was in first place. Of course. "This time, I'll let you pick," he added, chuckling at Obi-Wan's sour expression.

He opened his mouth to ask which one was easiest, then closed it again. First off, there was no way he could trust Anakin to tell him which level was the safest. Secondly, he did not want to admit that he was indeed failing epically.

He scanned the list of cups and races. Moo Moo Meadows sounded safe. "I'll go with Moo Moo Meadows," he told Anakin.

"All right." His former apprentice's expression was impossible to read. There was no smirk to indicate that the level was a bad choice, nor was there disappointment to show that he had indeed chosen a safe level. The neutral expression was not reassuring.

The level began easily. There were neither dangerous ledges to fall off of nor rings of fire to avoid. All went well until the second lap, when the cows began to cross the road. Obi-Wan ran right into one and went spinning out.

"What the—I thought cows were good!"

"No, Master. Cows are bad."

"But they're cows!"

"I know." Anakin was laughing so hard that he didn't keep his eyes on the road. His bike did not swerve, however; Obi-Wan suspected that he was using the Force to guide him. If only the Force would help him in the same way. "What do you expect? Did you think you'd go right through it? You ran into a cow."

"Yes, but running into a cow in real life does not send you spinning, Anakin."

"How would you know? Have you ever driven a cart?"

Obi-Wan did not respond. He had assumed that this course would be simple. But even a path through a meadow had a twist to it.

"Come on, Master," Anakin said. "How about twenty-three out of forty-five?"

Obi-Wan stood up. "I'd rather not. You can play by yourself."

"Why don't we do Luigi Circuit? It's easy, I promise." He gazed earnestly at his former mentor, his boyish grin finally winning him over.

"Give me the steering wheel," he grumbled.
