Prompt: Winter

Rating: PG-13
Summary: When a woman says "pull over and ask for directions", you listen!
Author's Notes: There are only two planets I know of that worked for this prompt, I felt, so I picked Hoth, seeing as Ilum is supposed to be a Jedi Sekrit even though Padme goes there in the Clone Wars micro series.

"Well that's just great. Now we're stranded on this Force-forsaken rock until one of us figures out how to fix the transmitter." Obi-Wan Kenobi pulled his cloak around him more tightly. Even though he and Padme Amidala were safely inside the small freighter, he could still feel the cold, imagining it as the Hoth winds buffeted the ship.

"Well, if we had stopped to ask for proper hyperspace coordinates, we wouldn't-"

"Excuse me, but I've been calculating hyperspace jumps since before you were born."

"Typical male," Padme muttered.

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Did you just call me a typical male?"

Padme glared. "Yes. Yes, I did, Obi-Wan Kenobi. And if it weren't for your insufferable Jedi-know-it-all attitude, we would never have reverted in the middle of that asteroid belt."

Obi-Wan glared back. "The data we received from those charts was flaw-"

"And we would have known had we asked about it!" She yelled. Padme threw her hands up and left the room. As she crossed the threshold, she added, "And I suggest you get to work. You're going to lose daylight soon and you'll need all the light and warmth you can get as you examine the transmitter on the outer-hull."

Obi-Wan sputtered. "Me?!"

"Yes, you. You got us into this, you get us out. And next time, you will follow my advice and ask for directions."

And then she was gone.

Obi-Wan stared after her before frowning and grudgingly taking her advice. No need to hear another 'I told you so' so soon after the first, after all...
