The Rise of Chaos

Summary:

The characters of Star Wars have all gotten together...and as you would expect, it’s gotten out of hand.

Notes:

Basically I just threw a ton of Star Wars characters into a building together and if something blows up, we’ll just call Bo-Katan and her squad of Mandalorians.
Written by a half-asleep author listening to Perry the Platypus theme. We’ll see where that takes this.

(See the end of the work for other works inspired by this one.)

Chapter 1: Dino Nuggets

Chapter Text

Rey has started a chat room

 

Rey invited Rebel Gals

 

Rey: Kaydel made Dino Nuggets again, didn’t she?

 

Kaydel: no

 

Rey: Then explain why you and Zorii and Jannah are running around singing meme songs.

 

Jannah: DONT TELL YOUR MOTHER

 

Zorii: KISS ONE ANOTHER

 

Jannah: DIE FOR EACH OTHER

 

Zorii: 😶

 

Rose: I heard Dino Nuggies.

 

Rose: Hand em over Kaydel.

 

Kaydel: NO

 

Kaydel: LEAVE MY PRECIOUS NUGGIES ALONE

 

Nimi: ROSE PUT THE BROOMSTICK DOWN

 

Rey: Oh hi Nimi. You’re just in time to watch something blow up.

 

Nimi: WHAT??????

 

Rey: Kaydel made Dino Nuggets.

 

Nimi: oh no my one weakness

 

Rey: if I have to tell everyone that you guys blew something up AGAIN, y’all are dead.

 

Jyn: Hi I heard screaming?

 

Zorii: EXCUSE ME WE’RE SINGING

 

Jannah: LET’S DO THE FORK IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL

 

Zorii: LET’S DO THE FORK IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL

 

Jyn: where do we keep the earplugs?

 

Nimi: Padmé’s room.

 

Asajj: Why tf are you guys all texting if we’re in the same room?

 

Padmé: Language!

 

Jyn: Padmé don’t text while you’re at work.

 

Rey: ASAJJ HELP ME KAYDEL MADE DINO NUGGETS

 

Asajj: Not my problem.

 

Asajj: And they’re just chicken nuggets.

 

Rey: NO THEY’RE NOT!!!!! I SWEAR SHE FILLS THEM WITH CRACK OR SOMETHING!!!!

 

Asajj: Rey, I don’t even think we have crack here.

 

Jannah: AND IIIIIIIIII

 

Zorii: WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUUUU

 

Asajj: On second thought-

 

Jyn: Ok well they didn’t steal from my stash.

 

Rey:

 

Asajj:

 

Nimi: guys I’m sorry I’m gonna eat a Dino nuggie those things are heaven in a butt.

 

Nimi: BITE

 

Nimi: I MEANT BITE

 

Jyn: Sure...we all know that’s what you meant 😏

 

Zorii: POKÉMON

 

Jannah: GOTTA CATCH EM ALL

 

Padmé: Some days I wonder why I come home from work.

 

Jyn: So you can make out with Anakin.

 

Padmé: I-

 

Padmé: Anakin and I are just friends. Any ‘relationship’ you think we have is just friendship.

 

Rey: I might have some evidence... 😏

 

Padmé: And I may have some evidence about YOUR secret.

 

Rey: I seem to have lost my evidence.

 

Jyn: Padmé’s getting involved in dirty politics now.

 

Evaan: WHAT HAVE I WALKED INTO!?!?!?!?

 

Evaan: WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO EXPLAIN WHY JANNAH AND ZORII ARE RUNNING AROUND SINGING MEME SONGS AND JYN HAS A STASH OF DRUGS AND PADMÉ AND REY HAVE DIRTY SECRETS AND KAYDEL MAKES CRACK NUGGETS AND ASAJJ- you know what Asajj isn’t really doing anything bad.

 

Evaan: Which is a first.

 

Rey: Zorii, don’t jump off the table-

 

Zorii: I’M GAY

 

Asajj: We know.

Chapter 2: I don’t even know how to name this mess

Notes:

Guess I’m continuing this...not sure for how long, but enjoy the craziness 😂

Chapter Text

Padmé has started a chat room

 

Padmé invited Rebel Gals

 

Padmé: Ughhhhh I don’t want to come homeeeeeee

 

Rey: You sure? Kaydel saved you some crack nuggets.

 

Kaydel: *Crack Nuggies.

 

Jyn: And we locked Zorii and Jannah in the basement!

 

Asajj: LET ME OUT OF HERE OR YOU’RE ALL DEAD!!!!


Jyn: With Asajj!

 

Padmé: WHAT THE FORCE HAPPENED

 

Jyn: And Rey and Nimi tried to stop us!

 

Nimi: I’m going to kill you Jyn.

 

Jyn: So we found force-blocking handcuffs!

 

Rey: Jyn I can’t feel my fingers.

 

Padmé: WHAT HAPPENED ARE YOU TWO OK

 

Nimi: They handcuffed us and tied us to a pole.

 

Padmé: WHO IS ‘THEY’?

 

Asajj: Jyn, Evaan, Kaydel, and Rose.

 

Rose: Not me, I’m hiding in Ahsoka’s room.

 

Jyn: WE GONNA BUST DOWN THE DOOR

 

Evaan: I’m only going along with Jyn so she doesn’t lock me in a closet or something.

 

Padmé: WHY IS JYN LOCKING PEOPLE IN CLOSETS

 

Kaydel: I think she found Zorii’s secret stash of glitterstim.

 

Kaydel: Though she hasn’t locked anyone in a closet yet.

 

Jyn: Thanks for the idea tho!

 

Padmé: WHY DOES ZORII HAVE A SECRET STASH OF GLITTERSTIM!?!?!?

 

Zorii: IF YOU TOUCH MY GLITTERSTIM, YOU’RE DEAD

 

Rey: And now Jyn’s chasing Evaan around with a rope, trying to tie her up and lock her in a closet.

 

Padmé: You are adults. Why is it that I can’t leave you alone for a few hours to go to work?

 

Nimi: We tried.

 

Padmé: What about the guys???

 

Rey: They’re hanging out in the guys’ compound.

 

Evaan: NONONONONO LET GO OF ME

 

Evaan: PLEEEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEE

 

Evaan: JYN I’M SCARED OF THE DARK

 

Padmé: WHAT WAS THAT?

 

Asajj: I can’t see because I’m locked in the basement with Zorii and Jannah, but I’m pretty sure that was the sound of Evaan Verlaine being locked in a closet.

 

Rey: Why do we have a closet in our compound if no one here owns a coat?

 

Jyn: SO I CAN LOCK EVAAN IN IT!

 

Padmé: NO!

 

Padmé: I’m coming home to save you guys.

 

Jyn: AND I WILL LOCK YOU IN THE CLOSET AS WELL!

 

Rey: Padmé stay away and wait till she cools down to come rescue us.

 

Padmé: Don’t worry Fennec lent me some supplies.

 

Evaan: GIYS I CSNT SEE ANUTHIMG SO IF I MWSS UP SPELLUMGS OF STJFF ITS JYNS FAYLT

 

Rose: HELP US PADMÉ AMIDALA

 

Rose: YOU’RE OUR ONLY HOPE

 

Rose: AND ALSO JYN’S TRYING TO BREAK DOWN THE DOOR TO AHSOKA’S ROOM

 

Padmé: *sighs* *grabs various borrowed weapons* aw kriff here we go again

Chapter 3: Padmé To The Rescue

Notes:

There’s no real set posting schedule for this, I’ll probably just update this as I write the chapters. Also, if there’s any characters you particularly want to see, please let me know and I’ll try to add them (I haven’t seen a few of the shows, like Resistance) into the story.

Chapter Text

Padmé: Your savior has arrived!

 

Padmé: Also you all owe me 10 credits, I had to pay Fennec to get my hands on these.

 

Nimi: Rey wants to know what you brought.

 

Padmé: ...c-can’t she just ask me herself?

 

Nimi: She said she’s lost all feeling in her hands and most of her arms because of Jyn’s handcuffs.

 

Asajj: SOMEBODY GET ME OUT OF THE BASEMENT RIGHT NOW

 

Padmé: Guys calm down I can only save one person at a time while also avoiding Jyn.

 

Jyn: I WILL FIND YOU AFTER I GET ROSE

 

Padmé: Alright, Evaan’s first.

 

Evaan: Thsnk you!

 

Rose: GUYS SHE’S TRYING TO BREAK DOWN THE DOOR

 

Padmé: WITH WHAT

 

Rose: I DON’T KNOW BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE MORAI’S BIRDCAGE

 

Padmé: JYN ERSO, AHSOKA IS GOING TO MURDER YOU

 

Nimi: WAIT IS THE BIRD IN THE CAGE

 

Padmé: I’ll go find out after I unlock the closet door.

 

Evaan: THANK YOU PADMÉ

 

Evaan: Wait is that a knife that also has a flashlight concealed in it AND a lock pick!?!

 

Padmé: Like I said, you all owe me 10 credits.

 

Padmé: And it’s got some other stuff too, hopefully we won’t need it tho

 

Padmé: Alright, who’s next?

 

Asajj: LET ME OUT OF THE BASEMENT

 

Padmé: Ok that’s easy enough-

 

Padmé: GUYS WHAT’S JYN’S LOCK COMBINATION?

 

Jannah: Why did u type that and scream it?

 

Padmé: BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT, OK?

 

Nimi: Try 2-0-1-6

 

Padmé: Oh yay it worked!

 

Padmé: Wait how did you know that-?

 

Nimi: ....we’re not gonna talk about that.

 

Asajj: THANK YOUUUUUUU I WAS DYING DOWN THERE

 

Padmé: please stop hugging me i cannot breathe

 

Zorii: FREEDOM!!!!!!

 

Evaan: Oh no

 

Evaan: The only reason we locked Zorii and Jannah down there was because they were super hyper

 

Jannah: Yea we’re good now, don’t worry.

 

Kaydel: Oh good does this mean I’m not in trouble anymore?

 

Nimi: You started this. You’re still in huge trouble.

 

Padmé: Kaydel where even are you?

 

Kaydel: Umm... I’m busy.

 

Rose: GUYS SHE’S ALMOST IN

 

Rose: HELP

 

Padmé: JYN ERSO, YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE YOUNG LADY

 

Jyn: SHUT UP YOU’RE NOT MY MOM

 

Padmé: NO BUT I’M THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE ADULT IN THIS ROOM WHO’S NOT TIED TO A POLE

 

Rose: HELP MEEEEEEEE

 

Padmé: WE’RE COMING

 

Padmé: Ok who here knows how to work an electro-prod thingy, and can you give me a crash course?

 

Rose: you just point it and shoot it, why?

 

Padmé: JYN LEAVE HER ALONE OR ELSE

 

Jyn: OR ELSE WHAT

 

Padmé: I HAVE WEAPONS

 

Padmé: SURRENDER OR BE CRUSHED

 

Jyn: NEVERRRRRR

 

Nimi: What’s going on up there?

 

Rose: They’re fighting. With pillows.

 

Nimi: What about the electro-prod thing?

 

Rose: Ooh, I found it!

 

Rose: Should I use it?

 

Evaan: YES

 

Asajj: OF COURSE

 

Padmé: Guys, I got this.

 

Rose: Welp nevermind. She used Jyn’s handcuffs against her.

 

Padmé: Why am I the one who always has to deal with this?

 

Nimi: Ok but can u untie us now?

 

Padmé: Oh yea of course

 

Rose: Hey, where’s Kaydel?

 

Kaydel: Lol u idiots I’ve been videoing this the entire time

Chapter 4: Criminal Records

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Anakin has started a chat room

 

Anakin invited Everyone

 

Quinlan: Hey everyone.

 

Evaan: Hai 👋

 

Luke: What happened earlier today?

 

Rey: ...you don’t wanna know

 

Jyn: IT WAS GREAT!

 

Padmé: No it wasn’t. Everyone in the girls compound owes me 10 credits now.

 

Ben: I would like to question that, but I’m not sure if I want to know the answer.

 

Fennec: Padmé you have three days to pay up by the way

 

Padmé: Alright.

 

Padmé: EVERYONE IN THE GIRLS COMPOUND BETTER PAY ME 10 CREDITS OR I’M NOT RESCUING YOU NEXT TIME

 

Rey: Basically, Kaydel made chicky nuggies, Zorii and Jannah were hyper, we locked them in the basement with Asajj, we think Jyn stole someone’s glitterstim, Jyn tied Nimi and I to a pole, then locked Evaan in a closet and tried to break into Ahsoka’s room (where Rose was hiding) and Padmé had to pay Fennec to borrow some weapons which she used to save everyone, and now we all owe Padmé 10 credits each.

 

Anakin: ...what even happens in the girls compound?

 

Anakin: Is this normal?

 

Padmé: Unfortunately yes.

 

Poe: Wait what about Kaydel?

 

Kaydel: I was videoing the whole thing!

 

Ahsoka: WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY MORAI’S BIRDCAGE IS ON THE FLOOR?!?!?

 

Jyn: no

 

Rose: Jyn was using it to break down the bathroom door.

 

Ahsoka: Jyn?

 

Jyn: Yes?

 

Ahsoka: YOU. ARE. DEAD.

 

Kaydel: Can I pay up tomorrow, I’m a little busy right now

 

Padmé: Sure.

 

Jannah: What? Why does she get extra time?!

 

Asajj: She’s working on her quarantine log.

 

Jannah: oh

 

Luke: Quarantine log?

 

Asajj: She’s keeping track of our time in the compound. Like, until we’re allowed to join the ‘normal’ world.

 

Luke: Oh.

 

Kaydel: It’s basically a bunch of audio recordings, which is why I need all of you to be QUIET

 

Kaydel: Or at least everyone in the girls compound.

 

Din: You guys can come over here, we figured out how to disable all of the security cameras now.

 

Evaan: Oh cool!

 

Fennec: 🙄 I could’ve just blasted them.

 

Han: Shut up Shand you know I can shoot better than you.

 

Fennec: Is that a challenge? You’re going down!

 

Nimi: NO MORE FIGHTING

 

Nimi: AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW

 

Nimi: FENNEC, PUT THE BLASTER DOWN

 

Ahsoka: Oh force. I’m glad I wasn’t here today.

 

Rey: Oh yea where were you?

 

Ahsoka: I can leave the compounds now!

 

Rey: Really? That’s amazing!

 

Ahsoka: I still have to live here obviously, but I can go with Padmé now 😁

 

Rose: Oh wow...lucky...

 

Obi-Wan: I might be able to leave soon.

 

Anakin: Of course you will 🙄

 

Ben: Not this again...

 

Jannah: ???

 

Ben: They’ve been arguing about who’s gonna get to leave the compound first ALL DAY

 

Ezra: Ngl, it’ll probably be Din.

 

Ezra: He’s one of the only people in the guys’ compound who can’t use the Force.

 

Fennec: Depends if whoever runs this planet knows he’s a wanted criminal or not.

 

Din: Says you!

 

Fennec: I’m not saying I’m not a wanted criminal. My criminal record’s way worse than yours.

 

Zorii: Mine’s worse than both of yours, I was wanted by the New Republic AND the First Order.

 

Fennec: Child.

 

Fennec: I was wanted by the New Republic, the Empire, the First Order, and the Resistance. And also the Bounty Hunters’ Guild.

 

Luke: Are they...comparing criminal records? Competitively?

 

Ahsoka: I was wanted by the Jedi Order and the Empire!

 

Zorii: eh

 

Din: Not as impressive.

 

Padmé: I don’t really condone with this...

 

Padmé: But about half the galaxy was trying to murder me.

 

Han: I was wanted by Jabba the Hutt and the Crimson Dawn.

 

Poe: I’m wanted because I blew up Starkiller Base.

 

Ben: Still not cool.

 

Poe: It was pretty cool.

 

Ben: So murdering millions of people is cool?

 

Poe:

 

Ezra: I mean I was wanted by the Empire...

 

Fennec: I am still superior to you all.

Notes:

The quarantine log will be explained more next chapter, my brain wouldn’t let me write something plotless, so this happened...

Chapter 5: Quarantine Log

Notes:

QUARANTINE MADE MY BRAIN DO THIS I’M SORRY

Chapter Text

Kaydel has started a chat room

 

Kaydel: This is Kaydel Ko Connix. This is day number... actually, I can’t remember how many days it’s been since we were all transported to this planet ‘Earth’.

 

Kaydel: I don’t even know where on Earth we are. Rose thinks it’s a huge city like Canto Bight because of the size of our compounds, and she thinks the people are watching us through the many security cameras. Fennec thinks it’s more practical- an old military base split in half, one half for the guys and the other for the girls. She thinks they’re just keeping us here because they don’t understand where we came from or how some of us can harness the Force.

 

Kaydel: I honestly don’t know what to think. I just want this whole quarantine in the compounds to be over.

 

Kaydel: Though I will admit it isn’t TOO bad. The food’s...interesting. It’s pretty much the same amount that we got in the Resistance, but I’ve never seen half of this stuff before. Asajj and I both like this thing called Mac and cheese. I think it tastes like heaven, though Evaan can’t stand it.

 

Kaydel: Right now, everyone’s at the guys compound (Din found a way to temporarily turn off the security cameras so the girls could come over). I think they’re all trying to guess who’ll be able to leave the compound next.

 

Kaydel: Oh! Which reminds me: Ahsoka can leave the compound now! She got her pass today, and she’s going to be assigned a job of sorts tomorrow.

 

Kaydel: So far, Padmé’s the only one who’s allowed to leave the compound (Fennec and Anakin have been trying to find a way to sneak out, but they haven’t managed to yet) and she has a job working in a government building. It’s not like her old job as a Senator, but she’s just happy to be working in a government building, and she can’t stop talking about the way Earth’s government works. I don’t understand any of what she says, but if it makes her happy then I’m happy.

 

Kaydel: Ahsoka asked us all to look after Morai when she’s at work if they don’t let her take her along to the job.

 

Kaydel: I hope I get chosen next, because I’m going insane just stuck in here. It’s fun, but there’s nothing to do. Fennec’s theory about it being a military base is probably correct, because everything here is practical. There’s nothing fun.

 

Kaydel: I mean, we still have fun- today was...interesting, to say the least. But I’m so used to having something important to do for the Resistance that all this time we’re spending in quarantine feels without purpose or something like that.

 

Kaydel: Tomorrow we’re cleaning the compound, though. We clean both compounds every seven Earth days- Padmé says that seven days is a week on Earth. It’s weird, because on Batuu, a week was six days. It always takes some adjusting when you travel between planets. Anyway, tomorrow we’re cleaning both compounds from top to bottom. We don’t really need to, we keep them really neat, but it just gives us something to do.

 

Kaydel: I keep trying to figure out how they’re choosing us. At first I thought it was non Force-sensitives first, so people could understand the Force first before meeting Force-sensitives, but Ahsoka can use the force. So now none of us understand how they’re choosing who gets to leave the compound and when.

 

Kaydel: I just want to go home.

 

Kaydel HAS SAVED CHAT

Chapter 6: Next To Leave

Chapter Text

Din has started a chat room

 

Din invited Everyone

 

Din: So who do you guys think will get to leave next?

 

Poe: Din we’re all in the same room.

 

Din: I KNOW OK BUT THE SECURITY CAMERAS

 

Din: THEY’RE JUST CREEPY

 

Quinlan: They are. I mean, are people watching us sleep?

 

Rey: 😳 oh force

 

Anakin: They better not be-

 

Evaan: Why? Cause you and PADMÉ?

 

Anakin: Shut up Evaan.

 

Fennec: He’s purposefully avoiding the question.

 

Anakin: SHUT UP FENNEC

 

Fennec: Hey, don’t yell at me, I’m just sitting in the corner, polishing my blaster.

 

Fennec: And waiting for your girlfriend to pay up.

 

Padmé: ANAKIN AND I ARE NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP

 

Luke: ⬆️ This statement is disputed by both compounds.

 

Padmé: LET ME REMIND YOU THAT I AM IN POSSESSION OF A BLASTER

 

Luke: I have a lightsaber

 

Fennec: I have a superior blaster.

 

Maul: My lightsaber has more blades than yours.

 

Ben: My lightsaber has more blades than yours .

 

Maul: Those don’t count as blades.

 

Ben: Your legs were cut off by a teenager, it obviously doesn’t matter if your lightsaber’s better, seeing as your fighting skills suck.

 

Evaan: I...I’m just gonna join Fennec in the corner.

 

Cassian: That might be the smarter decision.

 

Fennec: *glares* LEAVE MY CORNER IMMEDIATELY

 

Evaan: WAIT NO I’M TOO YOUNG TO DIE

 

Cassian: Fennec, the force-sensitives are fighting again.

 

Fennec: ...you know what, there’s a little room left for you guys.

 

Jyn: I’d join you but this is entertaining.

 

Ahsoka: Well at least we know who’s gonna be allowed  to leave next.

 

Rey: Wait, we do? Who?

 

Ahsoka: Fennec, Cassian, and Evaan, for not fighting.

 

Zorii: Hmm...I want to leave the compound, but I also want to see who wins.

 

Asajj: Neither of them.

 

Zorii: How do you know?

 

Asajj: Because if they don’t quit arguing, I’m throwing someone out the window.

 

Han: There aren’t even windows down here.

 

Asajj: I’LL MAKE ONE

 

Han: WE’RE UNDERGROUND

 

Asajj: I’LL GO UPSTAIRS

 

Nimi: Guess we know who’s getting thrown out the window.

Chapter 7: The List

Chapter Text

Padmé has started a chat room

 

Padmé invited Everyone

 

Padmé: Wake up you guys! We’re cleaning the compound today!

 

Ahsoka: Ughhhh Padmé I don’t even think the sun’s up yet

 

Padmé: The sun has been up for a while, now get up or I’m dragging you!

 

Ben: Anakin your girlfriend’s creepy.

 

Anakin: Your girlfriend’s creepy.

 

Ben: I don’t have a girlfriend.

 

Asajj: Yes you do bc I saw you two ForceTiming last night but you didn’t hear that from me.

 

Jyn: ForceTime?

 

Din: WHY AM I WAKING UP TO THE SOUND OF A LIGHTSABER IGNITING

 

Din: THIS IS THE REASON WE’RE ALL LOCKED IN THIS COMPOUND- Y’ALL ARE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO MURDER EACH OTHER

 

Quinlan: You slept through Padmé yelling at everyone to wake up?

 

Quinlan: I want whatever Din has.

 

Armitage: Guys?

 

Rose: Yes?

 

Armitage: I miss my cat.

 

Rose: Omigod Millicent!

 

Kaydel: Hux has a cat?

 

Jannah: Wait who has a cat?

 

Rey: *cries* I miss Millie so much.

 

Rose: Wait how do you know about the cat?

 

Rey: Uhh....no reason.

 

Rey: Armitage told me yesterday.

 

Rose: sure...

 

Armitage: Guys do you think someone will remember to feed my cat?

 

Rey: Phasma probably will.

 

Kaydel: Wait a minute, PHASMA?

 

Jannah: I thought she died.

 

Rey: So did I.

 

Ben: Honestly, so did I. But no, she lived. Again. Somehow.

 

Zorii: MAGIC

 

Padmé: IS ANYONE LISTENING? EVERYONE GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW, IT’S TIME TO CLEAN THE COMPOUNDS!

 

Han: Can- can we figure out whether or not Padmé and Anakin are in a secret relationship first?

 

Asajj: Easy- they’re in a relationship, it’s just not a secret, even though they think it is.

 

Han: Oh okay.

 

Han: What about Ben’s secret relationship?

 

Din: WHY IS EVERYONE IGNITING LIGHTSABERS ALL OF THE SUDDEN

 

Fennec: How would I know? I may grab my blaster just in case tho

 

Ben: I’m not in a secret relationship.

 

Asajj: Yes you are

 

Asajj: Tell your girlfriend to stop pointing a lightsaber at me

 

Jyn: QUICK GUYS, WHO’S IN ASAJJ’S ROOM?

 

Evaan: I mean Asajj probably is.

 

Rey: I’d hope so.

 

Ben: Wait, but what about Jyn’s secret relationship?

 

Jyn: What???

 

Fennec: Oh yea I forgot about that one.

 

Fennec: Forgot to put it on the list.

 

Jyn: What list?

 

Fennec: The list of secret relationships in the compounds.

 

Poe: Wait... you have a list of all of them?

 

Finn: Every? Single? One?

 

Fennec: I think so.

 

Evaan: ...uh oh

 

Maul: TO FENNEC’S ROOM

 

Fennec: NONONONO

 

Padmé: Oh force. This is going to destroy something.

 

Jyn: BREAK DOWN THE DOOR!!!!

 

Fennec: DON’T YOU DARE

 

Rey: oh force.

 

Anakin: please dont read the list

 

Fennec: I’M BURNING THE LIST

 

Padmé: I mean I usually would argue against burning something but YES BURN THE LIST FENNEC

 

Asajj: FENNEC NO

 

Cassian: FENNEC YES

 

Evaan: Why are you trying to break the door down with a potted plant???

 

Asajj: BECAUSE

 

Zorii: guys let me pick the lock instead of smashing that plant

 

Maul: I mean I guess that works.

 

Din: I don’t even want to see the list, I’m just here for the chaos.

 

Ben: FENNEC BURN THE LIST

 

Fennec: Relax I don’t wanna burn my list unless they actually get in here.

 

Luke: I actually want to see this list, seems interesting.

 

Ahsoka: Better than listening to Padmé and Anakin argue all day.

 

Armitage: I’m not so sure I want to read this list...

 

Jannah: If Zorii/Dino Nuggets is not on this list, it’s not an accurate one.

 

Kaydel: YOU’RE CHEATING ON ME WITH DINO NUGGETS!?!?!?

 

Zorii: IT WAS ONE TIME

 

Kaydel: HOW COULD YOU????

 

Rose: Is anyone else confused?

 

Han: Very.

 

Ezra: Oh wow Zorii where did you learn to pick locks like that?

 

Zorii: The secret ingredient is crime.

 

Fennec: OH FORCE THEY GOT THE DOOR OPEN

 

Cassian: FENNEC SHAND, BURN THE KRIFFING LIST

 

Fennec: I’M GONNA SHOOT IT

 

Rey: THEN STOP TEXTING AND SHOOT IT

 

Fennec: alright i did it

 

Fennec: Crisis averted.

 

Ezra: For now...

Chapter 8: Detective-ing

Chapter Text

Asajj: Just one pairing? Please?

 

Fennec: no

 

Luke: Kriff, now I really want to know who was on this list.

 

Rey: Haha same, right? Guess we’ll never know...

 

Anakin: Seems sus Rey

 

Rey: Says you!

 

Anakin: Fennec? Can you confirm anything?

 

Fennec: To preserve my health, I’m keeping my mouth shut.

 

Cassian: Smart.

 

Anakin: I don’t know, you guys... maybe Rey and Finn? Rey and Rose?

 

Rose: No, we’re just friends.

 

Jannah: I can confirm that.

 

Ezra: *is still trying to read Fennec’s mind*

 

Obi-Wan: It’s not gonna work.

 

Ezra: Yes it will

 

Obi-Wan: *facepalms* No it won’t.

 

Ezra: How do you know?

 

Obi-Wan: I-

 

Asajj: He’s been trying to for the last half hour. As have I. I don’t know why it’s not working.

 

Fennec: Look, you don’t think I’m going to learn how to protect my mind if I’m going to start a list of secret relationships in the compounds?

 

Asajj: WHO TAUGHT YOU

 

Fennec: I can’t say.

 

Asajj: IT WAS AHSOKA, WASN’T IT

 

Asajj: AND AHSOKA’S ON THE LIST TOO, ISN’T SHE?

 

Ahsoka: Why would I be on the list?

 

Asajj: Good point.

 

Evaan: I’m honestly starting to get quite curious about who’s on this list-

 

Fennec: I’M NOT TELLING ANYONE

 

Anakin: Hypothetically-

 

Maul: So obviously not hypothetically.

 

Anakin: If someone WAS on the list, would you tell them if you knew?

 

Fennec: hmm...yes.

 

Anakin: Ok goo-

 

Fennec: ANAKIN, YOUR SECRET RELATIONSHIP WITH PADMÉ IS ON MY LIST, JUST SO YOU KNOW

 

Ezra: I-

 

Obi-Wan: Exposed

 

Fennec: Anyone else?

 

Jyn: no that was enough fennec

 

Maul: that was honestly a little scary

 

Rey: I mean he had it coming.

 

Din: ENOUGH WITH THE IGNITING OF THE THE LIGHTSABERS

Chapter 9: Blackmail, Screeching, and Utter Chaos

Chapter Text

Fennec: I’m not giving away any more, so don’t even try.

 

Evaan: I’m done, I just needed to know if Anakin and Padmé were in a secret relationship.

 

Padmé: Okay, Fennec obviously got something wrong, because we’re not in a secret relationship-

 

Ezra: PADMÉ WE ALL KNOW THAT’S A LIE


Rey: No one believes that any more.

 

Padmé: I can still blackmail you.

 

Rey: Stop

 

Maul: Who’s blackmailing who?

 

Din: and I thought I’d finally gotten away from that kind of stuff

 

Obi-Wan: Padmé seems to be threatening to blackmail Rey.

 

Armitage: Here we go again...

 

Rose: I mean it’s better than watching Anakin and Fennec screeching at each other.

 

Ben: Anakin’s the only one screeching.

 

Anakin: NO I’M NOT

Ahsoka: the only thing you’re doing is proving us right, Skyguy.

 

Anakin: SHUT UP SNIPS

 

Ahsoka: Well, Anakin cries more than he screeches.

 

Anakin: I REPEAT: SHUT UP SNIPS

 

Cassian: I half want to see Fennec randomly yell about someone else’s secret relationship, but I’m afraid of what she’s gonna say.

 

Asajj: Why, are you on the list? 😏

 

Cassian: no I’m just afraid because it’s Fennec

 

Quinlan: Well that’s fair.

 

Fennec: FEAR ME MORTALS

 

Rose: YOU ARE MORTAL

 

Fennec: QUIET

 

Rey: I’m scared

 

Luke: I’m scareder

 

Padmé: That’s not even a word

 

Luke: Shut up you’re not my mom

 

Padmé: I-

 

Anakin: Um-

 

Ben: Well this should be interesting.

 

Rose: I am done with this Skywalker drama 🤦♀️

 

Han: but is fennec actually immortal

 

Ezra: *facepalms*

 

Padmé: I just want to say that I know one of the relationships on the list, so if you think you might be on there...don’t risk it 😏

 

Rey: Hmm...is it you and Anakin?

 

Padmé: you’re skating on very thin ice, punk

 

Nimi: Wait is she on the list?

 

Padmé: I’m just warning all of you now. I’m not implying anything.

 

Fennec: And you guys are scared of ME?

 

Cassian: I’m still scared. I mean, how did you find out about enough secret relationships to start a list?

 

Fennec: Well, a few of them told me?

 

Ben: Really?

 

Fennec: ok none of them told me then

 

Maul: Wait...Does this mean ur in a secret relationship?

 

Evaan: Well we know that Jyn, Ben, and Anakin and Padmé are in secret relationships. And we also know that Padmé and Anakin are in a secret relationship. Or at least they WERE in a secret relationship, now it’s just a relationship.

 

Luke: We also know that Fennec Shand is a creepy stalker who knows everyone’s secrets.

 

Evaan: Yes, that too.

 

Anakin: i don’t like Shand

 

Fennec: wow thanks

 

Anakin: She’s coarse and rough and irritating. And she has eyes everywhere!

 

Obi-Wan: We know 🙄

 

Luke: Remember when we woke up this morning and thought we were actually going to get something done for once?

 

Padmé: Well if anyone would like to join me in cleaning the compounds, feel free.

 

Rey: Hey, I’m helping!

 

Maul: Same!

 

Obi-Wan: I’ll help. I lost interest in the whole list fiasco when Anakin and Padmé’s relationship was confirmed

Chapter 10: Padmé’s Deal

Chapter Text

Padmé has started a chat room

 

Padmé invited Everyone

 

Padmé: Thank you to those of you who helped me clean up the compounds today.

 

Padmé: I have one more request for you today.

 

Han: ???

 

Padmé: OBI-WAN KENOBI AND ZORII BLISS, STOP TRYING TO BREAK INTO THE BATHROOM

 

Fennec: can someone please slip some food under the door or something

 

Zorii: I’M NOT LEAVING UNTIL SHE COMES OUT AND TELLS US ANOTHER PAIRING ON THE LIST

 

Obi-Wan: I just have to use the refresher.

 

Padmé: oh

 

Padmé: Well then you can use the one in the girls compound if you want.

 

Obi-Wan: Thank you.

 

Fennec: guys I’m really hungry can someone send food through the vents

 

Ben: I really don’t want her to reveal any more relationships, but guys, Fennec’s gonna starve if you keep doing this.

 

Rey: They’ve been there for three hours. They’re not moving anytime soon.

 

Fennec: Please send help.

 

Padmé: LOOK, IF I CONFIRM MY RELATIONSHIP WITH ANAKIN WILL YOU STOP TRYING TO CHASE DOWN FENNEC?

 

Zorii: I DEMAND ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP

 

Anakin: HEY PADMÉ WHY DON’T WE DISCUSS THIS WHOLE CONFIRMATION THING FIRST

 

Padmé: WHAT IF I GIVE YOU A SECOND RELATIONSHIP THEN?

 

Rey: PADMÉ DON’T YOU DARE

 

Padmé: IS TWO RELATIONSHIPS ENOUGH?

 

Evaan: I mean I just wanted to know about Anakin and Padmé.

 

Han: I don’t even know anymore.

 

Luke: This is kinda entertaining, but it’s also getting old. And I have to use the refresher.

 

Kaydel: Yea same lol

 

Zorii: ...I guess two would be enough.

 

Ezra: So the terms of the deal would be...Padmé tells the truth about her relationship with Anakin, and she also reveals a second secret relationship.

 

Rey: I don’t think I like this deal...

 

Anakin: hey can we talk for a moment about the first part of this deal

 

Padmé: This is my final offer. After that, we drop the topic of Fennec’s list for good.

 

Maul: Works for me. I’m not even a part of this.

 

Quinlan: Same here, I’m just watching from a distance. It’s quite entertaining. Reminds me of the Clone Wars.

 

Poe: The Clone Wars ended decades ago?

 

Quinlan: I’m not from your time, Flyboy.

 

Zorii: YASSSS POE I TOLD YOU I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE WHO CALLS YOU FLYBOY BEHIND YOUR BACK

 

Zorii: OR TO YOUR FACE

 

Quinlan: When I was transported to Earth, I was in the middle of the Clone Wars.

 

Poe: oh that makes sense then

 

Poe: I was leading the Resistance after we defeated the First Order.

 

Armitage: Even though we’re still alive xD

 

Padmé: So does everyone accept my deal?

 

Zorii: Sure

 

Fennec: YES. ANYTHING TO GET ME OUT OF HERE.

 

Din: Sure. I really don’t know what’s even going on here.

 

Anakin: I- I don’t really accept this deal-

 

Obi-Wan: Yea well no one cares Anakin.

 

Anakin: You’re just jealous cause you’re not the Chosen One!

 

Obi-Wan: I can deal with not being the Chosen One, I have the High Ground.

 

Ahsoka: Has anyone ever considered that the Chosen One could be a female?

 

Luke: Hey I thought I was the Chosen One?

 

Ben: None of you balanced the force. You just tipped it in the favor of the light or dark side.

 

Padmé: I’ll just take that as a yes from everyone.

 

Padmé: So...Anakin and I ARE in a relationship. We were planning on getting married in secret, but then the whole sudden travel to Earth interrupted things.

 

Asajj: Aww, forbidden love.

 

Obi-Wan: Wait...Anakin?

 

Anakin: she’s not lying

 

Obi-Wan: AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME?

 

Anakin: I mean...we thought it was too dangerous, since, you know, Jedi can’t be in relationships and all that.

 

Obi-Wan: I WOULD HAVE KEPT IT A SECRET

 

Anakin: R-really?

 

Obi-Wan: ARE YOU KIDDING ME OF COURSE!

 

Anakin: wow.

 

Anakin: thank you.

 

Zorii: Hey Padmé, you gotta hold up the other half of your deal.

 

Padmé: Oh yeah! So Rey and Ben are in a relationship.

 

Padmé: And don’t forget to let Fennec out of the refresher.

 

Padmé has left the chat

 

Poe: ...

 

Kaydel: ...

 

Finn: rey?

 

Rey: yea?

 

Finn: why didn’t you tell us?

 

Rey: cause we were at war

 

Armitage: I mean I’d be surprised but I already knew.

 

Ben: Yea

 

Poe: So you guys are...in love?

 

Rey: Yea 💙

 

Ben: Mhmm ❤️

 

Poe: Wow this is a lot to take in.

 

Kaydel: a LOT

 

Rose: Not really. It only took me about...fifteen minutes? Ten minutes?

 

Poe: Wait, you knew?

 

Rose: oh

 

Rose: yea i kind of knew-

 

Fennec: As much as I want to see where this conversation goes, is it safe for me to leave the refresher?

 

Ezra: It is now, yeah.

I was going to wait a few days before posting this, but today’s news on the riots at the US capital sort of changed that. I just want to post something happy right now 😔 I hope you all enjoy this chapter 🖤

Chapter Text

Ezra has started a chat room

 

Ezra invited Everyone

 

Ezra: I think we need to just look back on everything that happened today.

 

Din: If you’re bored, why don’t you just say so?

 

Ezra: Shut up or the next lightsaber that ignites is gonna be pointed at your face.

 

Asajj: OHHHHHH THE REBEL FINALLY GETS SOME GUTS

 

Han: If the Jedi fought as well as they threatened, they wouldn’t be extinct.

 

Quinlan: Wait a minute, EXTINCT???

 

Luke: is this going to create some sort of weird time loop or warp or disruption or something

 

Jyn: unless we’re stuck here for eternity

 

Luke: MOM, JYN’S BEING DEPRESSING AGAIN

 

Padmé: Jyn.

 

Jyn: Yes?

 

Padmé: What did I tell you about being a pessimist when it comes to us being stuck here?

 

Jyn: Keep up the good work?

 

Padmé: Exactly.

 

Din: So...if we are stuck here forever, we might as well talk about what we’ll do with our lives.

 

Padmé: I want to work in the government. Maybe we could contact the people still back on the planets we used to be on.

 

Jyn: or maybe they were transported along with us only we were separated and now they’re in a compound on the other side of this planet saying the exact same thing

 

Padmé: *sniffles* I’m so proud of her 🥲

 

Kaydel: I wanna open a diner that serves Dino Nuggets and Mac N Cheese.

 

Fennec: I want to do something with mechanics.

 

Din: Really? I didn’t know you knew about stuff like that!

 

Fennec: Din I am literally part robot.

 

Din: oh

 

Rey: I’ll go anywhere except for the desert. And I will work any job that doesn’t involve fighting.

 

Luke: Hey Kaydel, can I work at your restaurant? I can make blue milk!

 

Din: I can make Uj cake!

 

Rose: I want to work with animals or machines.

 

Poe: I want to be a pilot. Padmé, are there starships on Earth?

 

Padmé: Yea, but they’re called planes, and they can’t fly offplanet.

 

Poe: *shrugs* Flying is flying I guess.

 

Anakin: I mean I really don’t know where I’m going to live or work, but...

 

Anakin: I wanna go to Chliloptee

 

Anakin: Chlipllioe

 

Obi-Wan: wut

 

Anakin: *chopulyert

 

Anakin: *Chopolaj

 

Anakin: *Chupotlae

 

Obi-Wan: Take your time.

 

Anakin: Chiplo3

 

Obi-Wan: How did you even get a number in there?!

 

Anakin: Chipolta

 

Anakin: I give up.

 

Ahsoka: You could just say it out loud, you know.

 

Ben: 🙄 Now look what you’ve done, he’s running around the compound screaming Chipotle.

 

Kaydel: Can I join you?

 

Anakin: Sure.

 

Jannah: YAY CHIPOTLE ARMY

 

Maul: Why not?

 

Ben: Great, now they’re all doing it.

Evaan: Ok guys I just need to say something.

 

Rey: Evaaaaannnnnn it’s too earlyyyyyy

 

Evaan: Wait, I though you were already awake?

Rey: Cara shut up.

Rey: I surrender

 

Evaan: So Ahsoka brought me some fruit to try.

 

Jyn: You woke us all up to tell us about a FRUIT?

 

Evaan: OK BUT GET THIS

 

Evaan: SHE BROUGHT BACK THIS THING CALLED AN ORANGE

 

Evaan: AND IT IS LITERALLY PRE-SLICED BY NATURE.

 

Fennec: I-

 

Fennec: I must acquire some of this mystical fruit.

 

Padmé: fruit?

 

Padmé: pre-sliced?

 

Padmé: by nature?

 

Evaan: I KNOW RIGHT

 

Jannah: Really?

 

Ahsoka: Really.

 

Jannah: Really?

 

Ahsoka: Really.

 

Jannah: ok but...REALLY?

 

Ahsoka: Jannah get down here I’m not saying really again.

 

Asajj: I would like to see this phenomenon.

 

Kaydel: Should we show the guys?

 

Jyn: ...

 

Rose: ...

Ahsoka: *spits water* MY LIFE IS COMPLETE

 

Leia: Ewwww now I’m soaked.

 

Ahsoka: sorry

 

Ahsoka: please dont kill me

 

Ahsoka: or send the rebel alliance after me

 

Leia: Lol of course not.

 

Rose: But- why- Zorii?

 

Zorii: Lol turns out Jyn isn’t the only one who sings in the shower.

 

Padmé: You were SINGING?

 

Jyn: yes

 

Padmé: I thought you were crying.

 

Rey: I thought that was Morai screeching 😐

 

Asajj: I thought someone had snuck a rabid tooka cat into the compound.

 

Jyn: ...I mean- I didn’t think it was that bad- 😭

 

Evaan: ok but can we please acknowledge the fact that Earth possesses a fruit that is pre-sliced by nature?

Mitaka has started a chat room

 

Mitaka invited The Guys

 

Armitage: WAIT I DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE HERE

 

Armitage: I THOUGHT YOU DIED

 

Ben: Why are you terrible at keeping track of who’s alive and who isn’t?

 

Armitage: you thought phasma was dead too

 

Ben: That’s fair.

 

Mitaka: I just want to know why someone’s screeching.

 

Maul: It’s probably Jyn or Fennec or Zorii again.

 

Mitaka: It’s in the guys compound.

 

Maul: I-

 

Maul: I had no idea anyone in the guys compound could make that kind of sound.

 

Din: Well I’m over at the girls compound playing sabaac with Quinlan and Evaan.

 

Anakin: guys

 

Anakin: it’s Ezra

 

Anakin: and Obi-Wan

 

Din: wait WHAT?!?!?!?

 

Ezra: THERE’S A SPIDER

 

Ezra: OBIWAN

 

Ezra: KILL IT

 

Obi-Wan: IT’S HUGE

 

Obi-Wan: GET IT AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEE

 

Mitaka: I’m enjoying this immensely.

 

Ben: I’ve never been more disappointed.

 

Ben: A Jedi Master and a Jedi Knight.

 

Ben: Are terrified of a tiny spider.

 

Luke: Guys I smell something burning?

 

Han: It’s not my fault!

 

Quinlan: or mine

 

Armitage: *whispers* for once

 

Mitaka: GO GO GO!

 

Mitaka: They’re attempting to stab it from a distance.

 

Han: With a lightsaber?!

 

Mitaka: YOU ALMOST GOT IT!

 

Armitage: Mitaka stop encouraging this.

 

Ezra: WATCH IT OBIWAN YOURE GONNA SET MY BLANKET ON FIRE

 

Obi-Wan: IT’S CHASING ME

 

Din: now this i have to see

 

Maul: A fingernail-sized spider chasing a grown adult man who happens to be a Jedi Master and Clone Wars hero.

 

Maul: I might join the light side just to see this more often.

 

Anakin: If you know where we could find spiders, I *might* know how to get them into Obi-Wan’s room at the Jedi Temple.

 

Armitage: And I thought the First Order was an embarrassment to the Empire.

 

Mitaka: No, we still are.

 

Armitage: Why have we not fired you yet?

 

Mitaka: Because you haven’t.

 

Armitage: ok you’re more bearable than emo ren over there anyway

 

Ben: Wow thanks General Hugs.

 

Poe: YESSSSSS I’VE STARTED A TREND

Ben: Hey wait, didn’t you work for the NR?

 

Poe: nah i was a spice runner

 

Ben: Oh yeahhhh I forgot about that.

 

Ben: Weird.

 

Poe: What can I say, you were a terrible influence when we were kids.

 

Poe: You still are.

 

Ben: You were the bad influence ngl

 

Armitage: Imagine having friends as a kid

 

Mitaka: *cries*

 

Armitage: Dopheld we didn’t meet until we were adults.

 

Mitaka: You act like a little kid, doesn’t that count?

 

Arm: Mitaka please just stop

 

Anakin: Wait, can we go back to Obi-Wan and Ezra’s fear of little baby spiders?

 

Anakin: Not even the big ones, because we’ve fought enormous spiders before.

 

Luke: I mean everyone has an irrational fear.

 

Luke: Mine is seagulls.

 

Anakin: SEAGULLS

 

Anakin: I AM DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, MY SON

 

Luke: Listen boy,

 

Luke: SOMEDAY, WHEN YOU ARE OLDER

 

Luke: YOU COULD GET HIT BY A BOULDER

 

Ben: More like burn alive.

 

Luke: WHILE YOU’RE LYIN THERE, SCREAMIN

 

Han: Wait, couldn’t he just use the force to stop the boulder-

 

LUKE: “COME HELP ME PLEASE,’’ THE SEAGULLS

 

Din: Hmm?

 

Luke: POKE YOUR KNEES!

 

Anakin: You’re a psycho wiener.

 

Din: Uh oh. I know what comes next. Lightsabers start igniting. So can everyone wait just one second...

Cara: dead people?

 

Fennec: I got shot and died but I lived.

 

Rey: I died but I lived.

 

Ahsoka: I died but then stuff happened.

 

Jyn: I blew up but I escaped.

Ahsoka: Dead people karaoke night!

 

Jyn: Anyone who wants to join, feel free!

Ahsoka: It’s not a microphone it’s a toilet paper tube thing.

 

Cara: Mk

 

Cara: Wait, what???

 

Ahsoka: I dunno we had a couple lying around.

 

Ahsoka: Ezra and Obi-Wan borrowed one to clobber a spider.


Ahsoka: So we used the other two as microphones.

 

Jyn: And we occasionally have been using them to whack each other.

 

Cara: Can I join in?

 

Fennec: Sure, you can be the judge for Rey and Jyn’s battle.

 

Cara: noice

 

Cara: Hey where is everyone else?

 

Fennec: Watching Ezra and Obi-Wan clobber a spider.

Jyn: Thank you.

 

Cara: Also Fennec, nice save there with the background lyrics.

 

Fennec: No problem 👍

 

Ahsoka: Rey?

 

Rey: Ok my turn i guess

 

Rey: Ahsoka, wanna choose the song?

 

Ahsoka: Hmm...Meet Me On The Battlefield, by Svrcina.

 

Rey: Alright.

 

Rey: 🎵 No time for rest,

 

Rey: No pillow for my head,

 

Rey: Nowhere to run from this,

 

Rey: No way to forget,

 

Rey: Around the shadows creep,

 

Rey: Like friends they cover me,

 

Rey: just wanna lay me down and finally try to get some sleep,

 

Rey: We carry on, through the storm,

 

Rey: Tired soldiers in this war,

 

Rey: Remember what we’re fighting for...

 

Rey: Meet me on the battlefield,

 

Rey: Even on the darkest night,

 

Rey: I will be your sword and shield, your camouflage, and you will be mine.

 

Rey: Echoes of the shots ring out,

 

Rey: We may be the first to fall,

 

Rey: Everything could stay the same or we could change it all.

 

Rey: Meet me on the battlefield. 🎵

 

Cara: Woah.

 

Cara: GUYS I CAN’T CHOOSE

 

Cara: SOMEONE ELSE DO THIS

 

Jyn: Lol it’s fine we’ve had about six battles so far and no one’s won any.

 

Rey: We just keep tying and then whacking each other with the toilet paper tube things.

 

Cara: I like this game.

 

Fennec: Guys gimme a mic I wanna go against Cara.

 

Ahsoka: CARA GOTTA CHOOSE A RAPPER NAME FIRST

 

Cara: Why

 

Ahsoka: I dunno because

 

Cara: Well what’s your rapper name?

 

Ahsoka: I don’t have one.

 

Cara: THEN WHY DO I NEED ONE

 

Ahsoka: BECAUSE I SAID SO

 

Cara: Jyn, give me the toilet paper tube.

 

Jyn: not until you choose a rapper name

 

Cara: Jyn. Hand me the toiler paper tube.

 

Rey: As she pulls out huge gun from thin air 😂

 

Jyn: Yes, sir!

 

Cara: Rey, choose a song.

 

Rey: Uhh...One Woman Army? By Porcelain Black?

 

Cara: *ahem*

 

Cara: I’M ON THE BATTLEFIELD, LIKE, OH MY GOD

 

Cara: KNOCKIN’ SOLDIERS DOWN LIKE HOUSE OF CARDS

 

Cara: IM A ONE WOMAN ARMY

 

Cara: YES I’M A ONE WOMAN ARMY

 

Cara: I’M ON THE BATTLEFIELD, LIKE, OH MY GOD

 

Cara: KNOCKIN SOLDIERS DOWN LIKE HOUSE OF CARDS

 

Cara: I’M A ONE WOMAN ARMY

 

Cara: YES I’M A ONE WOMAN ARMY

 

Cara: Thank you. Thank you very much.

 

Fennec: i can beat this idiot any day

 

Fennec: Ahsoka! Song!

 

Ahsoka: oh force i can never choose just one

 

Ahsoka: Princesses Don’t Cry, CARYS? The Devil Within, Digital Daggers? Wreak Havoc, Skylar Grey?

 

Fennec: Ahsoka for force’s sakes-

 

Ahsoka: Ooh! What about the song from Mulan? Reflection?

 

Fennec: I can try.

 

Fennec: Who is that girl I see,

 

Fennec: Staring straight back at me?

 

Fennec: Why is my reflection someone I don’t know?

 

Fennec: Somehow I cannot hide

 

Fennec: Who I am, thought I’ve tried

 

Fennec: When will my reflection show, who I am, inside?

 

Rey: I think that’s another tie.

 

Cara: I like this game.

 

Cara: It’s better than listening to Ezra and Obi-Wan screech at a little baby spider.

Notes:

To choose the songs, I just shuffled my playlist, which is why some of the songs may not seem like something the character would sing (excluding Fennec, because A) I wanted her to sing a song from Mulan, and B) the song that came on for her turn was Illuminate by Alice’s Night Circus)

Chapter 15: Unknown Number

Kaydel has started a chat room

 

Kaydel invited Everyone

 

Kaydel removed Fennec, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Jyn

 

Kaydel: I’m worried about those four. They haven’t tried to do anything stupid or illegal or suspicious or destructive for a few days now.


Padmé I’m just grateful for the break.

 

Maul: You’re right, it’s very suspicious...

 

Rose: They haven’’t tried to do anything illegal?

 

Rose: Oh my god, are they okay?


Cassian: Jyn hasn’t accidentally destroyed anything for days. I’m worried.

 

Ahsoka: Let’s call her!

 

Leia: But- we don’t have comms- and we’re in the same building-

 

Ahsoka: Then let’s text her but pretend to call her.

 

Asajj invited Unknown Number

 

Unknown Number: Hello, you’ve reached Starkiller Base, Major Disappointment speaking.

 

Ben: Asajj why do you have Armitage in your contacts under ‘Unknown Number’?

 

Asajj: Because I just scrolled through my contacts and named one of them Random Number, and it ended up being Armitage.

 

Unknown Number: You seem to have contacted the wrong number. Goodbye.

 

Unknown Number changed name to Armitage

 

Cara: So is anyone gonna question the fact that he just played along-

Rose: Got it! Rey?

 

Unknown Number changed name to Rey

 

Rey: 😂 I tried

 

Finn invited Unknown Number

 

Unknown Number: This is Flyboy speaking.

 

Zorii: POE IT’S POE DAMERON IT IS POE KRIFFING DAMERON

 

Unknown Number changed name to Poe

 

Poe: That was fun.

 

Padmé: Guys we got so sidetracked.

 

Padmé: We’re supposed to be calling Jyn.

 

Ahsoka: Oh yeah. I forgot.

 

Quinlan invited Jyn

 

Jyn: Hi?

 

Quinlan: What you doin?

 

Jyn: building a blanket fort

 

Leia: i really didnt see that one coming-

 

Jyn: Let’s make the entire compound into a blanket fort

 

Jyn: We can make tunnels to crawl between rooms

 

Jyn: And spy on each other

 

Jyn: And have pillow fights

 

Kaydel: Phew.

 

Kaydel: I’m no longer worried about Jyn.

 

Jyn: Well it’s nice to know someone cares 🥲

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Fennec has started a chat room

 

Fennec invited Everyone

 

Fennec: Guess what today is?

 

Rose: Your birthday?

 

Ezra: Tuesday?

 

Fennec: ok first of all it’s not even tuesday-

 

Anakin: AREA 51 RAID

 

Fennec: YES

 

Fennec: I mean that’s not what I was gonna say but YES

 

Padmé: We are not raiding Area 51!

 

Mitaka: What’s Area 51?

 

Jyn: you poor, innocent thing.

 

Din: Should I be worried?

 

Evaan: Din, this is Fennec and Anakin we’re talking about.

 

Din: I’m just gonna go put on my armor real quick-

 

Padmé: No one panic! We are NOT raiding Area 51!

 

Rey: I seriously doubt that.

 

Padmé: Rey-

 

Rey: Ok first of all you can’t even blackmail me any more, so don’t even try.

 

Rey: And second of all, I’m in if Fennec’s in, I guess.

 

Fennec: I have taught you well, my daughter.

 

Kaydel: wait...you’re related?

 

Fennec: no?

 

Fennec: As far as I can remember. She’s technically from the future.

 

Rey: We’re definitely not related.

 

Anakin: WE’RE HEADING TO AREA 51, WHO’S WITH ME?

 

Fennec: *us 😡

 

Anakin: WHO’S WITH US?

 

Jyn: Sure, at least it’ll be entertaining. And a chance to get out of the compounds, finally.

 

Ahsoka: Wait, how did you guys find out about Area 51 anyway?

 

Jyn: Padmé told us while talking about government jobs she wants to try to work her way up to.

 

Padmé: I did?

 

Ezra: I want to come just to see the shenanigans.

 

Cara: Why not?

 

Leia: I’m gonna stay home, I don’t wanna go to jail-

 

Han: I’m going to Area 51.

 

Finn: Meh, I’ll stay home and watch from a distance.

 

Zorii: I’ll come with!

 

Poe: I’m going!

 

Zorii: nevermind imma stay home

 

Poe: Wow, thanks.

 

Finn: Excuse me Poe, you are definitely not going to Area 51.

 

Poe: Why?

 

Finn: Because you promised to introduce me to holodramas.

 

Ahsoka: On Earth they’re called movies.

 

Poe: Oops, I forgot. Zorii, you can go again.

 

Zorii: Sweet! Let’s go find some aliens!

 

Leia: Aren’t we technically aliens?

 

Zorii: I-

 

Leia: When it comes to Earth, I mean?

 

Leia: Just me? Okay.

 

Fennec: Alright, who’s coming with?

 

Anakin: Why do you need to know?

 

Fennec: So I can figure out what size vehicle we must steal.

 

Padmé: NO THIEVERY

 

Fennec: So I can figure out what size vehicle we must borrow for an undetermined amount of time.

 

Anakin: Alright, the sign-up sheet’s by the refresher in the guys compound.

 

Han: Why do we need a sign-up sheet?

 

Mitaka: I’m in!

 

Armitage: Mitaka please stop going along with everything that involves chaos and anarchy.

 

Anakin: You drink water, I drink ANARCHY

 

Ben: no

 

Anakin: yes

 

Ben: no

 

Anakin: yes

 

Rey: *Skywalker family drama intensifies*

 

Padmé: I can’t really stop any of you from going, can I?

 

Jyn: Nope!

 

Padmé: Just making sure.

 

Fennec: Ok so far we have me, Jyn, Anakin, Mitaka, Din- WAIT DIN’S COMING WITH US?

 

Din: yea I’m bored

 

Din: plus i keep losing at sabaac

 

Evaan: Quinlan cheats. I’m 100% sure he cheats.

 

Quinlan: Hey, no I don't! I’m just better than all of you at sabaac!

 

Evaan: we need to find a different game

 

Fennec: Anyway, back to the sign-ups. Zorii, Cassian, Rey, Ezra, Cara, Han, Obi-Wan- REALLY?

 

Obi-Wan: Someone has to make sure you idiots don’t blow anything up.

 

Asajj: Wait, I’d like to sign up!

 

Fennec: Ok Asajj is coming too.

 

Fennec: You know what this means.

 

Padmé: You guys are all going to get in huge trouble?

 

Fennec: Yes but not what I meant.

 

Anakin: WE GOTTA STEAL A BUS

 

Padmé: NO THIEVERY!!!!!

 

Anakin: WE GOTTA- uhhh, what was the term you used?

 

Fennec: Borrow for an undetermined amount of time.

 

Anakin: WE GOTTA BORROW A BUS FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME

 

Jyn: ROAD TRIP ROAD TRIP

 

Ezra: YAY ROAD TRIP

 

Cara: SHOTGUN!!!

 

Mitaka: shotgun?

 

Cara: I CALL SITTING FRONT SEAT NEXT TO FENNEC

 

Ahsoka: WAIT YOU’RE LETTING FENNEC DRIVE???

 

Fennec: of course

 

Fennec: I’m the one st-BORROWING the bus, so I get to drive it.

 

Jyn: I CALL BACKSEAT!

 

Cassian: Why?

 

Jyn: Cause then you can make faces at the people behind you.

 

Padmé: don’t let Jyn get the back seat

 

Zorii: GUYS WHAT SHOULD WE BRING

 

Armitage: Are they seriously turning this into a day trip to Area 51?

 

Fennec: BRING DUCT TAPE

 

Din: Why?

 

Obi-Wan: SO WE CAN DUCT TAPE ANAKIN TO A WALL

 

Anakin: NO

 

Han: what have i gotten myself into

 

Ezra: I’ll bring sabaac!

 

Anakin: *whispers* I’ll bring spiders

 

Ezra: NO

 

Rey: I can bring SANDwiches, Anakin.

 

Anakin: *still whispering* I’ll leave the spiders back at the compound.

 

Padmé: *spits water* YOU DID NOT

 

Rey: yes i did

 

Rey: Ahsoka taught me.

 

Din: Guys how long do you think this road trip will be?

 

Cara: As long as it needs to be.

 

Din: Should I bring holochess, idk if anyone likes to play but-

 

Han: I’ll play!

 

Cassian: Ooh, I’ll try? I haven’t played in a while.

 

Fennec: ALRIGHT, EVERYONE MEET UP BY THE BUS IN 15 MINUTES!

 

Padmé: WAIT A MINUTE HOW DID YOU GET OUT OF THE BASE AND FIND A BUS IN LIKE 10 MINUTES?????

 

Fennec: the secret ingredient is crime

 

Fennec: GUYS GET IN THE BUS QUICK

 

Ahsoka: WHAT HAPPENED

 

Fennec: THE FBI JUST TEXTED ME

 

Fennec: WE GOTTA GO

 

Jyn: A perfect start to our trip.

Notes:

I regret nothing.
Also, the “You drink water, I drink anarchy” quote is not mine, it’s from a Batman movie written by an AI that I would definitely recommend, even to non Batman fans

Chapter 17: (Illegal) Road Trip!

Chapter Text

Fennec has started a chat room

 

Fennec invited AREA 51 RAIDERS

 

Zorii named chat ROAD TRIP

 

Jyn: ILLEGAL ROAD TRIP ILLEGAL ROAD TRIP

 

Ezra: you know what every illegal road trip needs?

 

Obi-Wan: A stolen bus?

 

Din: Cara screaming at everyone we pass?

 

Cara: GUYS LOOK THERE’S A PUPPY IN THE VEHICLE NEXT TO US!!!!!!

 

Zorii: Han threatening to duct tape Din to a chair if he wins at holochess one more time?

 

Cassian: Rey and Anakin arguing about sand?

 

Rey: I’m gonna need that duct tape after Han’s done with it.

 

Ezra: None of the above.

 

Ezra: Well they’re all correct but not what I was thinking.

 

Fennec: ANNOYING SONGS TO SING!!!!!

 

Ezra: you know what thats better than what i was gonna say so YES

 

Cara: LIVING PEOPLE KARAOKE AFTERNOON

 

Jyn: Dead People Karaoke Night sounds better.

 

Jyn: But anyway…

 

Jyn: THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND

 

Anakin: imagine having a childhood where you learned kids songs

 

Din: Is Jyn the only person on this bus who actually had a childhood?

 

Han: Yes.

 

Ezra: Yep.

 

Rey: Yea.

 

Jyn: LET IT GO, LET IT GO

 

Cara: CAN’T HOLD IT BACK ANY MORE

 

Mitaka: Ooh I know some of this one!

 

Mitaka: LET IT GO, LET IT GO

 

Ezra: TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR

 

Anakin: I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO SAY

 

Rey: LET THE STORM RAGE ON

 

Asajj: THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY

 

Cassian: I have never heard of this song.

 

Ezra: WE MUST EDUCATE CASSIAN IN THE WAYS OF FROZEN

 

Anakin: Guys we have a problem.

 

Fennec: Did something explode?

 

Anakin: no

 

Fennec: Did a tire pop?

 

Anakin: no

 

Fennec: Are we all going to die?

 

Anakin: no

 

Fennec: I see no problem.

 

Anakin: I’m hungry.

 

Asajj: I brought some of that miracle fruit Evaan was going crazy about.

 

Han: Wow I forgot you were here.

 

Asajj: I’m just taking pictures and videos to send back to everyone still in the compounds.

 

Cassian: PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE A VIDEO OF CARA YELLING TO RANDOM PEOPLE THAT WE’RE NOT DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL

 

Asajj: AND pictures of her waving at random people.

 

Anakin: Can we get Chipotle?

 

Fennec: of course.

 

Obi-Wan: So we’re just going to walk into Chipotle, eat, and then get back in the bus and raid Area 51?

 

Fennec: Yes.

 

Rey: This doesn’t seem like a good plan.

 

Rey: I like it.

 

Cara: All right, what do you idiots want from Chipotle?

 

Din: Do we have money?

 

Cara: Yes Padmé let me borrow some. She said Anakin would undoubtedly forget to bring something to eat.

 

Din: Are we sure Padmé’s not force-sensitive?

 

Obi-Wan: No, she’s just psychic in that way.

 

Fennec: TO CHIPOTLE!!!!

 

Asajj: Wait guys if Cara walks in there with a blaster and the various other weapons that she keeps hidden, aren’t we all gonna get sent back to the compounds?

 

Anakin: First of all, please stop being logical. No logic is allowed on this trip.

 

Anakin: And second of all, the FBI is already after us. How much further downhill can this go?

 

Mitaka: I always thought at some point you would reach the bottom and stop, but this trip is getting increasingly out of hand.

 

Obi-Wan: But are you having fun?

 

Mitaka: Surprisingly, yes.

 

Obi-Wan: Then we’re still good.

 

Cara: Alright, what do you guys want from Chipotle?

 

Rey: I will eat literally anything.

 

Jyn: SAME JUST HAND OVER FOOD

 

Asajj: do you want an orange

 

Jyn: YES

 

Han: Do you think they sell holochess tutorial booklets?

 

Cara: Doubtful, but I’ll look.

 

Zorii: Can i have burrito?

 

Cassian: I want to try an Earth taco.

 

Cara: Wait I can’t memorize all this, just write it down.

 

Din: Where?

 

Ezra: I found a pen but I don’t have anything to use as paper.

 

Zorii: I have a gum wrapper?

 

Cara: EW NO THERE’S CHEWED GUM IN IT

 

Mitaka: Can’t we just write on Cara?

 

Cara: No.

 

Din: Of course we can.

 

Cara: don’t you dare

 

Din: Decision goes to the driver.

 

Fennec: Write the list on Cara.

 

Fennec: BUT WRITE IT SOMEWHERE SHE CAN READ IT, I SAW THAT EXPRESSION DIN

 

Din: I’m wearing a kriffing helmet.

 

Fennec: I DON’T CARE

 

Cara: I hate you all, ok bye.

 

Anakin: YAY CHIPOTLE AND ILLEGAL ROAD TRIP

Chapter 18: Are We There Yet?

Chapter Text

Zorii: ARE WE THERE YET

 

Fennec: NO WE’RE NOT THERE SO STOP ASKING EVERY FIVE SECONDS OR I’M LEAVING YOU ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

 

Zorii: FINE I’LL WALK TO AREA 51

 

Cara: Well kriff.

 

Cara: She’s as stubborn as you are.

 

Fennec: THEN I’LL TAPE YOUR MOUTH SHUT

 

Fennec: HAND OVER THE TAPE

 

Anakin: One sec, we’re taping Obi-Wan to a seat.

 

Obi-Wan: Someone please save me.

 

Cassian: I’m honestly a little worried.

 

Cassian: We’re removing the tape after we get to Area 51, right?

 

Din: Are we?

 

Asajj: Padmé would totally kill us if she knew about all the things we’re doing.

 

Din: GOOD IDEA

 

Din invited Padmé

 

Padmé: What’s up?

 

Jyn: THE CEILING

 

Padmé: Who gave Jyn sugar?

 

Cara: Actually it’s Chipotle.

 

Padmé: Ahh. Well at least we don’t have to listen to everyone running around and yelling Chipotle any more.

 

Padmé: What are you guys doing?

 

Fennec: Driving to Area 51.

 

Padmé: Yes but aside from that.

 

Padmé: None of you are the type to sit quietly for a bus ride.

 

Mitaka: Well...we’re taping Obi-Wan to a seat?

 

Mitaka: Din’s hiding in a corner.

 

Mitaka: Cara’s trying to wash the Chipotle order off her face and arm.

 

Mitaka: Jyn and Rey are dueling on top of the seats with...I think those are burritos.

 

Mitaka: And Ezra and Han are playing holochess but with severely modified rules.

 

Mitaka: Actually no they’re just making their characters beat the tar out of each other.

 

Mitaka: That’s about all of it.

 

Padmé: ….WHAT?

 

Padmé: Some of you will die when you get back here, and it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

 

Cassian: I’m just eating Chipotle and watching from a distance.

 

Padmé: WHY IS CARA WASHING A CHIPOTLE ORDER OFF HER FACE!?!?!?

 

Zorii: We didn’t have any paper so we wrote it on Cara.

 

Cara: If you want to murder them, you’ll have to get in line.

 

Padmé: And why are we taping Obi-Wan to a seat?

 

Anakin: He was being annoying.

 

Padmé: oh ok i guess i can accept that one then

 

Padmé: And Rey and Jyn are dueling with burritos???

 

Ezra: Actually they’re balancing on top of the seats to do it, but yes, those do seem to be burritos.

 

Han: HEY JYN YOU BETTER NOT LOSE, I’VE GOT 20 CREDITS ON YOU

 

Ezra: WELL REY I HAVE 20 CREDITS ON YOU SO DON’T YOU DARE LOSE

 

Padmé: You guys...are betting...on a burrito duel?

 

Ezra: Yes.

 

Han: Pretty much.

 

Zorii: They’ve taken over the entire back half of the bus.

 

Jyn: YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT ME

 

Rey: I LITERALLY AM RIGHT NOW

 

Jyn: ...FOR NOW

 

Padmé: Actually I’m intrigued. So what’s the goal of this game?

 

Han: Good question.

 

Ezra: They’re just attacking each other with burritos. That’s it.

 

Padmé: Alright. Well...wait, what’s Fennec doing?

 

Fennec: Oh I’m just driving.

 

Padmé: That’s a first.

 

Fennec; I’ve driven before!

 

Padmé: No I meant the fact that you’re not causing trouble.

 

Padmé: Anyway, I gotta go. We’re watching holos with Finn and Poe.

 

Din: Have fun.

 

Padmé: Don’t die.

 

Padmé left the chat

Chapter 19: Fennec’s FBI Agent

Notes:

So...this is a purely hypothetical question, but...how many souls would a gal have to sell for a Fennec Shand series?

Chapter Text

Fennec has started a chat room

 

Fennec invited AREA 51 RAIDERS

 

Zorii: We already had a chat going?

 

Fennec: Yea but it was so long that it stopped working for me.

 

Zorii: Ok.

 

Fennec: Anyway YES WE’RE ALMOST THERE SO LEAVE ME ALONE

 

Fennec: Also, am I the only one who’s been getting messages from the FBI?

 

Rey: Yea

 

Jyn: Yes

 

Obi-Wan: fajhdsfkljsdfljfsdkjlfdskl;fdlkjasdfljkrkjreigofiavnoipavrjnafcm;kel

 

Din: ???

 

Cassian: Anakin stole Obi-Wan’s phone.

 

Din: Oh yeah how’s Obi-Wan?

 

Anakin: Taped to a seat.

 

Din: Really? I haven’t heard him complaining, I’m surprised.

 

Ezra: Well you see, that’s what the tape is for.

 

Din: oh

 

Cara: Hey Fennec can I please use your phone?

 

Fennec: You have your own.

 

Cara: Yea but I wanna reply to the FBI texts.

 

Fennec: Knock yourself out.

 

Fennec: Just not literally this time.

 

Cara: No that wasn’t me, that was Bo-Katan. She slipped on the ice while we were on Kijimi.

 

Zorii: AYYYYYY I’M FROM KIJIMI!!! 😁

 

Cara: This was before you were born.

 

Zorii: So?

 

Fennec: It was a nice planet, but it was COLD

 

Zorii: Yea, it’s not so nice any more. The FO kind of took over :(

 

Mitaka: excuse me i’m offended

 

Zorii: Excuse me you blew up my home.

 

Mitaka: Actually that was the Final Order.

 

Anakin: Isn’t that what FO stands for?

 

Rey: FO is First Order. The Final Order is...kind of hard to explain.

 

Anakin: Ahh.

 

Jyn: guys can we not talk about the wars any more?

 

Rey: Yea, sure.

 

Cara: GUYS THE FBI’S LIKE RIGHT BEHIND US WE GOTTA MOVE

 

Cara: but i learned the meaning of life so that’s cool.

 

Din: What???

 

Cara: Yay I made a new friend!

 

Cara: Her name is Melinda.

 

Cara: She seems cool.

 

Rey: Hi this is Fennec I just stole Rey’s phone bc Cara has mine.

 

Rey: CARA I TOLD YOU A MILLION TIMES NOT TO USE MY PHONE TO GET ON TINDER

 

Cara: I’m not on Tinder, she’s your FBI agent.

 

Din: Wait I still want to hear this thing about the meaning of life-

 

Cara: It’s 42.

 

Din: ????

 

Jyn: Guess she found the glitterstim.

 

Ezra: Cara’s on Tinder?

 

Cassian: Cara you’re in government quarantine. How do you expect to go on a date?

 

Cara: I’m not on Tinder because Fennec won’t let me use her phone to download Tinder.

 

Fennec: Use Obi-Wan’s!

 

Cara: oh ok that’s a much better idea

 

Anakin: NO I’M USING OBI-WAN’S PHONE

 

Din: WHY ISN’T OBI-WAN USING OBI-WAN’S PHONE?

 

Anakin: CAUSE HE’S DUCT TAPED TO A BUS SEAT

 

Din: Oh ok.

 

Zorii: I think I see the FBI agent. Permission to fire?

 

Cara: WOAH WOAH WOAH SLOW DOWN

 

Cara: NO SHOOTING MY FRIEND

 

Asajj: How did you make friends with the FBI agent who’s chasing us IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES

 

Cara: Well we both like animals and kicking people’s butts and space travel.

 

Asajj: Impressive.

 

Asajj: Can you tell her not to shoot us?

 

Cara: Technically we’re the ones trying to shoot her.

 

Fennec: Just make sure Zorii doesn’t shoot anyone- I’m gonna try some evasive maneuvers!

 

Din: OMIGOD WE’RE GONNA DIE

 

Din: FENNEC THIS IS NOT SLAVE 1

 

Fennec: No, it’s Slave 2. Fastest bus in the galaxy.

 

Cassian: Zorii’s still trying to shoot the Melinda lady, what should we do?

 

Han: Shoot her...or something!

 

Rey: No!

 

Ezra: Steal her blaster!

 

Anakin: NO

 

Anakin: Padmé said we cannot steal.

 

Anakin: Because that would make you

 

Anakin: A theif

 

Obi-Wan: Thief?

 

Anakin: Theif

 

Obi-Wan: I before e 

 

Obi-Wan: except after c

 

Anakin: thceif

 

Obi-Wan: no

 

Din: Well at least Obi-Wan got his phone back.

 

Obi-Wan: someone else please teach Anakin to spell.

 

Anakin: Sotp.

 

Anakin: Leav me aloen Obi-Wan

 

Obi-Wan: I wil nevr sotp

 

Zorii: This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!

 

Jyn: I GOT ZORII’S GUN!!

 

Jyn: WHAT DO I DO WITH IT?

 

Zorii: FAJAFDKLJFDALJKAFDJKLALJKDFAFJLKD GIVE IT BACK ERSO

 

Cara: THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW!!!

 

Jyn: OK

 

Cassian: NO!!!!!!!!!

 

Rey: Omigod.

 

Rey: Melinda just ran over it.

 

Cara: Fennec I need your phone again to send her an apology.

 

Fennec: I’m never giving you my phone again.

 

Cara: I highly doubt that.

Chapter 20: Fennec Can’t Spell, Anakin Hates Sand, etc.

Notes:

I wrote this chapter while listening to the Crab Rave song, so apologies for any incoherent parts. I blame the crustaceans.

Chapter Text

Cassian: wait what if we invite Fennec’s FBI agent to come raid Area 51 with us?

 

Fennec: no. I am not handing over my phone until after this is over.

 

Cara: Can I FaceTime Melinda?

 

Fennec: MO!

 

Fennec: *NO!

 

Anakin: The fact that you misspelled that really takes away from the whole ‘you FaceTime Melinda and you’re dead’ vibe.

 

Din: Did Anakin just...day the word ‘vibe’?

 

Anakin: Yes?

 

Din: This is so weird considering I spent most of my life terrified of you.

 

Rey: This is so weird because I spent most of my life comforted by your death and now we’re eating Chipotle on a bus together.

 

Anakin: wait why would you be terrified of me though 🥺

 

Cara: NO REASON

 

Anakin: ???

 

Fennec: Din Dkarin if you mess up the timeline-

 

Cara: DKARIN

 

Cara: THAT’S THE SECOND TIME YOU’VE RUINED ONE OF YOUR THREATS

 

Cara: WHY HAS FENNEC LOST THE ABILITY TO SPELL?

 

Mitaka: The real question is how many more times will she do it because it’s very entertaining.

 

Zorii: the real question is how much farther until we get to Area 51?

 

Cassian: We are literally driving through the middle of nowhere.

 

Rey: No, not really.

 

Rey: Nowhere has a lot more sand.

 

Anakin: i don’t like sand

 

Obi-Wan: ONE DAY

 

Anakin: It’s coarse and rough and irritating.

 

Obi-Wan: ALL I’M ASKING FOR IS ONE SINGLE DAY WHERE I DO NOT HAVE TO HEAR THE SAND SPEECH

 

Anakin: And it gets everywhere!

 

Obi-Wan: WHY ME? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE THIS?

 

Rey: i mean i dont mind sand that much its really soft and-

 

Anakin: I’ve heard enough.

 

Anakin: We’re throwing Rey out of the bus.

 

Rey: uh oh

 

Fennec: NO MURDRER BACK THERE

 

Cara: MURDRER

 

Cara: THAT’S THREE TIMES

 

Ezra: Wait are we stopping the bus before we throw her off or are we just gonna keep going.

 

Fennec: I mean at this point I’m not stopping the bus because we’ve been traveling all day.

 

Fennec: BUT STILL, NO MURDER

 

Asajj: I’m going to be a neutral party in this but the duct tape’s over by Cassian if anyone was wondering.

 

Anakin: Thanks.

 

Anakin: even though i wanted you dead a few weeks ago

 

Asajj: Thanks bro 👍

 

Anakin: Hey can u help me tie up Rey

 

Asajj: sure why not

 

Rey: I can think of a lot of reasons why not-

 

Zorii: Hmm I want to choose chaos but I also don’t want to murder my fren.

 

Mitaka: I mean

 

Mitaka: To be completely fair

 

Mitaka: Even if she does die

 

Mitaka: She’s died before, so-

 

Rey: HEY HEY NO, DO NOT ENCOURAGE HER

 

Rey: THAT WAS UNDER SOME WEIRD CIRCUMSTANCES

 

Jyn: Being randomly transported to a planet where no one’s ever heard of the Empire or the Rebellion (or whatever the two sides are called wherever you guys were in time idk) doesn’t count as weird circumstances?

 

Rey: I was trying to murder my only remaining family member, who was trying to take over the galaxy with this huge fleet of ships that no one knew about for a couple decades, with help from someone I almost murdered about three hours beforehand. All of this occurred a couple hours after I had to fight against myself.

 

Jyn: Well kriff. Now I’m kind of glad I was about to blow up so I don’t have to see that stuff happen.

 

Rey: Yea a lot of weird stuff happens in the future.

 

Han: Ok, but I doubt you can get much weirder than a giant space station that destroys planets.

 

Rey:

 

Zorii:

 

Mitaka:

 

Han: oh no

 

Han: how bad does it get

 

Rey: I’m not sure how much we can give away without destroying the timeline.

 

Anakin: Wait, PLANET-DESTROYING SPACE STATIONS EXIST?!?!?!?

 

Ezra: oh kriff.

 

Ezra: Should we tell him?

 

Mitaka: This trip is getting increasingly uncomfortable.

 

Mitaka: I’m still having fun though, so I guess everything’s fine.

 

Mitaka: Except for the fact that we’re now messing with a timeline which means some of us could never be born holy force now that I’m saying this out loud it seems worse-

 

Din: Look on the bright side. Maybe if we mess with the timeline, planet-destroying space stations won’t exist!

 

Jyn: Or maybe it doesn’t matter cause we’re all stuck here and never going back to our galaxy and so the timeline is useless now.

 

Fennec: I like her.

 

Cara: Din can we keep her?

 

Din: ...fine.

 

Han: But guys...how bad does it get?

 

Rey: *inhales* So…

 

Zorii: Tell him.

 

Rey: You are stabbed by your emo son on a star-system-destroying planet turned weapon.

 

Zorii: KRIFF, I didn’t mean tell him everything!

 

Rey: WELL SAYING ‘Tell him’ IS KINDA VAGUE

 

Han: oh

 

Han: I’m gonna need a little while to come to terms with this.

 

Cassian: You can come hang with me and Din, we used the duct tape to build a fort.

 

Han: Thank you.

 

Anakin: Does this mean you guys are gonna tell me why everyone’s afraid of me?

 

Obi-Wan: Because you’re an annoying, whiny womp rat.

 

Anakin: ALRIGHT THAT’S IT, YOU’RE GETTING YEETED OFF THE BUS NOW TOO

 

Fennec: You guys are really trying to fit in as much chaos into the last fifteen minutes of our trip as you can, aren’t you?

Chapter 21: Home Again, Home Again

Notes:

This got weird fast.

Chapter Text

Fennec: IGHT WE’RE FIVE MINUTES AWAY SO YOU IDIOTS HAVE FIVE MINUTES UNTIL MURDER IS BANNED AGAIN

 

Anakin: ahhh yes, she’s lifted the murder on ban.

 

Asajj: The kriff are you on.

 

Anakin: *ban on murder

 

Rey: Geez and I thought the Skywalkers in our generation were the worst.

 

Han: Yea, that’s what I thought until I found out I was STABBED

 

Jyn: I mean it’s better than blowing up.

 

Din: Why is Jyn so salty about blowing up?

 

Jyn: BECAUSE I WANTED TO LEAVE IN A ESCAPE POD BUT CASSIAN SAID WE SHOULD GO DOWN TO THE BEACH TO WAIT FOR THE REST OF ROGUE ONE

 

Jyn: BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?

 

Jyn: THEY WERE ALL DEAD

 

Jyn: WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I TOLD YOU WOULD HAPPEN, CASSIAN

 

Din: And I thought having to deal with Cara was tough.

 

Han: I have to deal with Luke and Leia.

 

Mitaka: I have to deal with Hux and Kylo.

 

Anakin: Guys.

 

Anakin: I have to deal with myself.

 

Fennec: winner

 

Zorii: by a landslide

 

Asajj: winner

 

Obi-Wan: Whiner, more like.

 

Anakin: Din, Cassian, may I borrow the duct tape?

 

Cara: Oh yea did anyone get thrown off the bus yet?

 

Ezra: No, Rey took Jyn hostage.

 

Cassian: Well I’m not complaining.

 

Jyn: I WILL SNEAK INTO YOUR ROOM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND HAUNT YOUR NIGHTMARES

 

Fennec: That’s not even a threat.

 

Fennec: You already sneak into Cassian’s room in the middle of the night.

 

Fennec: Try something more like ‘I will track you down from halfway across the galaxy and exact my revenge’.

 

Asajj: 👀

 

Ezra: 😏

 

Han: You wanna explain, Erso?

 

Jyn: oh kriff FENNEC YOU’RE DEAD

 

Fennec: WOULDN’T BE THE FIRST TIME

 

Jyn: I WILL RIP OUT YOUR CYBERNETIC GUTS AND LEAVE YOU FOR DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS DESERT

 

Fennec: Ooh, much more intimidating. Except this also wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been left for dead in the middle of a desert, but you started out strong.

 

Jyn: WELL THEN I WILL RIP OUT YOUR CYBERNETIC GUTS AND THEN DRIVE BACK TO CHIPOTLE AND LEAVE YOU FOR DEAD IN CHIPOTLE

 

Cara: ALRIGHT THAT’S ENOUGH BACK THERE

 

Jyn: MAKE ME STOP

 

Cara: FINE I WILL

 

Rey: oh kriff

 

Rey: Cara has entered the battlefield.

 

Fennec: What’s she doing, I can’t look away from the road rn

 

Ezra: She and Jyn are gonna battle on top of the seats.

 

Din: I can temporarily take over driving, I don’t wanna be anywhere near this fight.

 

Fennec: Yes please, thank you.

 

Din: Thank you, I was dying back there.

 

Fennec: Wow look at my girlfriend go.

 

Cara: What?

 

Fennec: I said she’s right behind you.

 

Cara: Ok thx!

 

Fennec: 🥰

 

Din: ok so it turns out Earth vehicles are nothing like spaceships FENNEC I NEED HELP

 

Fennec: mk i can take over again

 

Fennec: ALRIGHT ALL OF YOU SIT DOWN WE’RE AT AREA 51

 

Zorii: FINALLY

 

Rey: Umm...guys?

 

Rey: I think we have a problem, unless I’m the only one seeing this.

 

Mitaka: Nope, I see it too.

 

Asajj: I’m...very confused.

 

Cassian: So unless this is a coincidence and there’s two identical buildings…

 

Jyn: Area 51...are the compounds we’ve been staying in!?

 

Chapter 22: ...This is getting out of hand

Chapter Text

Padmé has started a chat room

 

Padmé invited Area 51 Idiots

 

Padmé: So how was your road trip?

 

Cassian: Cursed.

 

Din: Terrifying.

 

Fennec: Beautiful.

 

Han: Shocking.

 

Cara: Chaotic,

 

Anakin: Tasty.

 

Mitaka: Fun!

 

Padmé: I don’t even want to know.

 

Jyn: Well you see…

 

Padmé: I SAID I DON’T WANT TO KNOW

 

Jyn: YES BUT THAT USUALLY MEANS YOU DO WANT TO KNOW

 

Padmé: YOU HAVE A POINT

 

Jyn: WHY ARE WE YELLING?

 

Padmé: I HAVE NO IDEA

 

Cara: I made a new friend today.

 

Padmé: I’m so proud of you.

 

Cara: Zorii tried to shoot her.

 

Padmé: I’m so terrified of you.

 

Zorii: SHE WAS CHASING US

 

Fennec: I TOLD YOU NOT TO SHOOT HER

 

Obi-Wan: I hated it.

 

Obi-Wan: Anakin taped me to a seat.

 

Din: Cassian and I built a duct tape fort.

 

Han: Rey told me how I die.

 

Rey: IT’S ZORII’S FAULT

 

Zorii: I DIDN’T TELL YOU TO SPECIFICALLY SAY THAT PART

 

Rey: YES WELL YOU DIDN’T TELL ME NOT TO EITHER

 

Padmé: How….how DO you die?

 

Han: I don’t wanna talk about it.

 

Padmé: Did she say who?

 

Han: not specifically, no

 

Han: Wait, do you know?

 

Padmé: No I’m just curious.

 

Anakin: That’s a little creepy.

 

Padmé: I’m a little creepy.

 

Cara: And I always thought you were just some constantly diplomatic politician.

 

Padmé: *shrugs*

 

Cara: I like her.

 

Fennec: Have you ever died?

 

Padmé: Not yet, no.

 

Fennec: Kriff, I was gonna invite you to be a part of dead person karaoke night.

 

Fennec: Do you know how you die?

 

Padmé: Also not yet, but I’d be willing to find out if I can join your night of tone-deaf screeching.

 

Asajj: Is it just me or did Padmé go from being this vanilla mom to being...This?

 

Padmé: well no one’s blowing anything up right now so I’m taking some time off from being the constantly responsible one.

 

Padmé: How do I die?

 

Mitaka: I love how we’ve all just given up on keeping the whole timeline intact.

 

Jyn: It’s pointless. We’re stuck here. Deal with it.

 

Din: So uh...who’s telling her?

 

Ezra: Not it.

 

Ezra: I don’t even know the answer.

 

Rey: Well you see…

 

Rey: You’re sad.

 

Rey: So you die.

 

Padmé: ...that’s all?

 

Rey: yes, actually

 

Padmé: That’s kind of disappointing to be honest.

 

Padmé: I always thought I’d die in battle or something. Defending the Senate building maybe. Or like...of natural causes.

 

Padmé: I die of sad?

 

Rey: I believe history says you die of a broken heart, but...yes.

 

Padmé: Well now I’m sad.

 

Rey: nO NOPE BAD IDEA

 

Anakin: Who broke Padmé’s heart and where can I find them because WE NEED TO TALK

 

Ezra: ...well.

 

Cassian: This got weird fast.

 

Asajj: We’re casually conversing about death. Of course it did.

 

Jyn: WELL I HAD A BURRITO DUEL AND THEN GOT MY BUTT KICKED BY CARA SO THAT HAPPENED

 

Fennec: Ahh yes a topic change

 

Din: And Fennec almost crashed the bus multiple times.

 

Fennec: HEY HEY CHANGE THE TOPIC BACK TO THE BURRITOS

 

Mitaka: We got Chipotle because Anakin wanted it, and then Jyn and Rey tried to whack each other with burritos.

 

Mitaka: And then Cara was on Tinder.

 

Cara: I WAS NOT ON TINDER

 

Rey; I almost got thrown out of a bus.

 

Anakin: SHE SAID SHE LIKED SAND

 

Anakin: THIS IS AN UNFORGIVABLE OFFENSE

 

Rey: SAND SAND SAND SAND SAND

 

Anakin: QUIET OR ELSE

 

Rey: OR ELSE WHAT

 

Anakin: fennec i need a quick crash course on insults

 

Fennec: um so either target insecurities or insult her mother.

 

Anakin: ???

 

Fennec: you know, like a your mum joke?

 

Anakin: make it make sense

 

Fennec: just use the first option

 

Anakin: ok

 

Anakin: YOU’RE NOTHING

 

Rey: AT LEAST BE ORIGINAL

 

Anakin: YOUR MOM

 

Fennec: THAT’S NOT HOW A YOUR MOM INSULT WORKS

 

Fennec: I mean it kind of is but it also isn’t.

 

Zorii: Fennec should to a TED Talk on insulting people.

 

Fennec; Meet up in my room next week and there shall be a TED Talk.

 

Zorii: Ahh yes.

 

Padmé: So guys.

 

Padmé: Did you make it to Area 51? Or did you just come back here?

 

Rey: Well you see…

 

Asajj: NO DON’T LET HER DO IT, EVERY TIME SHE TELLS SOMEONE SOMETHING, IT’S BAD NEWS

 

Rey: oh ok

 

Anakin: You see the thing is…

 

Anakin: Area 51 is actually the compounds.

 

Padmé: KHDFSHKSDHKFKDFSHSFDHSFDHSDFHKDSFHKSFD WHAT?!?!?!?

Chapter 23: Cooking With Anakin

Chapter Text

Ahsoka has started a chat room

 

Ahsoka: So guys.

 

Ahsoka: o wait no one’s here

 

Ahsoka invited Everyone

 

Ahsoka: So I gotta go to my job today

 

Ezra: YOU GOT A JOB?!?!

 

Ahsoka: Yes :D

 

Rose: You go girl!

 

Luke: Where?

 

Ahsoka: This place called McDonalds.

 

Padmé: THE PLACE WITH THE CREEPY CLOWN DUDE??

 

Ahsoka: YES

 

Padmé: I’m so proud of you.

 

Ahsoka: Anyway, I need you guys to watch Morai while I’m at work today, cause no animals are allowed.

 

Jyn: She really just banned about half of us.

 

Din: Oh I’d say more than half.

 

Ahsoka: guys can someone just please take care of morai while I’m gone

 

Cassian: sure

 

Ahsoka: thank you

 

Anakin: I’m making cookies today.

 

Poe: I’m helping.

 

Kaydel: Me too.

 

Din: This doesn’t seem safe.

 

Evaan: Ooh, cookies!

 

Jannah: ...crack cookies?

 

Padmé: nO, NO MORE CRACK FOODS

 

Jyn: ???

 

Padmé: They made crack popcorn for our movies while you were gone.

 

Jyn: I must get this recipe.

 

Cassian: BURN IT IMMEDIATELY

 

Fennec: *grabs fire stick* BURN WHAT

 

Cassian: THE RECIPE

 

Fennec: you do realize that she will get her hands on it no matter what

 

Fennec: you cannot stop that girl

 

Cassian: yes i know that, we literally came up with an illegal, suicidal plan to find the death star plans

 

Fennec: Then why are you trying to stop her?

 

Cassian: Because someone needs to at least try even if it is completely pointless.

 

Ahsoka: You know what I’m just gonna head out to work.

 

Padmé: As much as it pains me to say this, I will also be leaving work.

 

Padmé: Don’t burn down the compounds, call me if anyone gets tied up or locked in a closet again.

 

Rey: yes mom

 

Padmé: you do realize you’re one of the few people here I’m not related to in some way?

 

Rose: FoR nOw

 

Asajj: I’m pretty sure we’re not related.

 

Padmé: Anakin and Quinlan are basically adopted brothers so that would make you like… look I don’t have time to figure that one out, I gotta go to work.

 

Padmé: AND THERE BETTER BE THE SAME AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HERE WHEN I GET BACK

 

Obi-Wan: …

 

Obi-Wan: Oh good, she’s gone.

 

Cara: Let the chaos commence.

 

Din: I have had more than enough chaos.

 

Cara: Well I haven’t. We’re making cookies?

 

Poe: Wookie cookies.

 

Anakin: on Cooking With Anakin

 

Kaydel: YES

 

Kaydel: I’M VIDEOING THIS, ANAKIN PRETEND YOU’RE ON A COOKING HOLO

 

Anakin: Alright class, today we’re making wookie cookies, and also Navarro cookies, as requested by Cara Dune.

 

Ben: you’re going to make a mess

 

Anakin: yes

 

Ben: padmé will kill you

 

Anakin: the existence of luke and leia proves you wrong

 

Ben: we were literally pulled out of time

 

Rey: you know i always thought you guys would get along

 

Luke: they are getting along

 

Rey: are you sure

 

Luke: its a skywalker thing

 

Rey: ahhh

 

Anakin: So now you pour the batter into cookie shapes and cross your fingers and hope for the best.

 

Ben: We’re all dead.

 

Jyn: if she kills Anakin we bury him in the desert, all in favor say ‘aye’

 

Obi-Wan: AYE

 

Maul: ahh yes, definite aye

 

Han: Don’t you mean WHEN she kills Anakin?

 

Jyn: yes

 

Anakin: And now we shall bake the cookies.

 

Anakin: Time for a vote you guys.

 

Anakin: So I can either bake these cookies at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or 4000 degrees for 1 minute.

 

Fennec: oh kriff

 

Ezra: I’m beginning to understand what Padmé meant when she was talking about us burning down the compounds.

 

Din: anakin nO THAT’S NOT HOW YOU BAKE COOKIES

 

Anakin: Floor it?

 

Asajj: Why not?

 

Ben: I’m going to go hide.

 

Finn: yea...

 

Leia: I’m just gonna go hang out with Morai-

 

Rey: This seems dangerous but I’m staying because there’s food.

 

Kaydel: I’m staying because we’re going to need video evidence to show Fennec’s FBI agent after we burn this place down.

 

Cara: I’m staying cause I wanna chat with Melinda again

 

Din: ANAKIN NO

 

Anakin: GUYS GUYS GUYS

 

Anakin: HOW ABOUT 4,000,000 DEGREES FOR 1 SECOND

 

Obi-Wan: ANAKIN YOU ARE GOING TO BURN THE COMPOUNDS DOWN

 

Cara: I mean I don’t exactly see anyone complaining.

 

Anakin: I WILL HARNESS THE KRIFFING SUN TO MAKE COOKIES

 

Quinlan: ANAKIN P L E A S E

 

Ezra: Anyone else notice that we’re all screaming at him to stop while standing here and watching and doing nothing and basically encouraging him to keep going?

 

Mitaka: Yes.

 

Mitaka: Who knew the oven could be set to 4,000,000 degrees?

 

Zorii: To be fair, this is a military base.

 

Mitaka: True, true.

 

Ezra: so no one’s gonna stop him?

 

Rey: nope

 

Cara: not really

 

Ben: we are all going to die

 

Jyn: be positive

 

Ben: we’re going to die a slow and painful death as flames consume us

 

Fennec: did jyn seriously just tell someone to be positive

 

Jyn: you were supposed to say ‘we are all going to die quickly’, but that’s probably more accurate

Chapter 24: We have...too many problems to count

Chapter Text

Fennec has started a chat room

 

Fennec invited Everyone

 

Fennec: GUYS

 

Fennec: WE HAVE A PROBLEM

 

Ben: Yes, we’ve determined that.

 

Ben: Anakin’s gonna burn down the kriffing house.

 

Fennec: wait what

 

Fennec: GUYS WE HAVE TWO PROBLEMS

 

Jyn: yes, we’ve determined that.

 

Jyn: Anakin’s now fighting with Cara over the best type of cookies

 

Cara: NEVARRO COOKIES WILL ALWAYS BE SUPERIOR TO YOUR AMETUER SAND COOKIES

 

Anakin: THIS IS AN OFFENSE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER

 

Anakin: SQUARE UP

 

Cara: FINE

 

Fennec: okay...GUYS WE HAVE THREE PROBLEMS

 

Din: Yes. Now they’re dueling in the middle of the kitchen while the cookies burn in the background.

 

Fennec: FOR FORCE’S SAKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE

 

Fennec: also WE HAVE FOUR PROBLEMS

 

Mitaka: What’s the fourth?

 

Fennec: so we were upstairs doing that TED Talk on insults and uh

 

Fennec: Morai kind of escaped and now we’ve lost her.

 

Asajj: Say your goodbyes, everyone.

 

Asajj: Ahsoka is going to shatter us like glass.

 

Obi-Wan: We’re all going to die TWICE.

 

Jyn: be positive?

 

Obi-Wan: TWICE, Jyn. TWICE.

 

Jyn: Fair.

 

Leia: We should form a search party to find Morai, and then another group to break up Anakin and Cara’s fight and put out the cookies when they ignite.

 

Kaydel: I’m with the cookie fire group.

 

Fennec: I’ll go find the bus, and then we can put together the Morai group.

 

Ben: Wait...you let Morai LEAVE THE COMPOUND

 

Fennec: i mean we didnt let her-

 

Ben: You better hope the force is with you.

 

Finn: I mean look on the bright side, the TED Talk was good.

 

Fennec: Thank you :D

 

Leia: I liked the uno reverse part.

 

Fennec: wow I’m glad i worked so hard on that

 

Zorii: But let’s face it, Fennec passionately talking about the correct way to use ‘no u’ for five minutes straight was one of the best things you’ve ever seen.

 

Jyn: wow now i wish i was at the TED Talk instead of watching the flaming cookie argument

 

Cassian: you already know more than any being needs to about insulting people

 

Jyn: true and also the fire argument was beautiful

 

Cassian: it was less of an argument than Anakin threatening to burn stuff and everyone watching and silently encouraging it

 

Jyn: Also true.

 

Leia: Have they set on fire yet?

 

Ezra: Actually, no, they haven’t.

 

Zorii: Wait, really?

 

Kaydel: They are starting to look a bit crispy though.

 

Han: OPEN THE OVEN

 

Obi-Wan: NO

 

Obi-Wan: IF WE SET OFF THE SMOKE ALARM THE FBI WILL COME AND WE WON’T BE ABLE TO SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES TO SET THE COOKIES ON FIRE

 

Ezra: Dang these cookies are more fire-resistant than Anakin.

 

Rey: The second Cara and Anakin hear what you two just said we are going to have a galaxy-wide crisis on our hands.

 

Din: I doubt they heard you, they’re a little busy.

 

Han: What are they doing?

 

Din: Fighting with spatulas.

 

Han: I’m considering going down there but it doesn’t seem like a safe idea right now.

 

Din: It’s not.

 

Din: how long until fennec gets back with her bus?

 

Fennec: Ten minutes if I have to park it, twenty seconds if you guys are okay with the dramatic entrance option and if my modifiers work.

 

Din: I regret asking.

 

Maul: dramatic...entrance?

 

Asajj: I doubt it can beat any of my dramatic entrances.

 

Fennec: Beep beep morons I’m here

 

Maul: Dramatic entrance.

 

Cassian: So no one’s going to question the fact that she just crashed through the wall with a BUS and is perfectly fine.

 

Fennec: The modifiers worked!

 

Cassian: m-modifiers? 😳

 

Fennec: Modifiers.

 

Poe: Like what?

 

Fennec: Well Cara and I figured out how to make it fly.

 

Poe: THEY FLY NOW?!

 

Finn: Fennec, buses are not supposed to fly.

 

Fennec: Well this one does.

 

Asajj: Remember two days ago when this thing was just a normal bus who never had to deal with our wrath?

 

Fennec: not this bus, sister.

 

Asajj: We related?

 

Fennec: no

 

Fennec: u wanna be?

 

Quinlan: alRIGHT STAY AWAY FROM MY GIRLFRIEND

 

Armitage: *protective boyfriend mode activated*

 

Asajj: ahahah im pretty sure she was just asking if i wanted to be friends w/ her but ok quin

 

Fennec: wow she really just friendzoned me 😭

 

Leia: Guys as entertaining as this is, we now need to find Morai, stop Anakin from burning down the compounds, and fix the massive hole in the wall.

Chapter 25: To the utility store!!!

Chapter Text

Zorii has started a chat room

 

Zorii invited Everyone

 

Zorii: Guys we need to get Anakin and Cara to stop fighting.

 

Obi-Wan: guys

 

Obi-Wan: I got this.

 

Obi-Wan: ANAKIN YOU’RE NOT THE CHOSEN ONE

 

Anakin: UNO REVERSE

 

Fennec: *sniffles* I’m so proud.

 

Ezra: I think this requires someone from the future.

 

Ezra: HEY ANAKIN, I HEARD THERE’S YOUNGLINGS AT THE UTILITY STORE WE’RE HEADED TO

 

Ezra: WANNA COME WITH

 

Ezra: WE GOTTA GRAB SOME SUPPLIES TO FIX THE HOLE FENNEC BLASTED IN THE WALL

 

Anakin: I’m a simple man, I hear ‘younglings’ and I come with.

 

Obi-Wan: I don’t even want to know.

 

Cassian: Believe me, you really don’t.

 

Obi-Wan: I’d ask how bad it gets, but last time that happened…

 

Han: We don’t talk about that.

 

Ben: About what?

 

Rey: …uh

 

Mitaka: 😂

 

Maul: 🙄 you kids from the future and your weird inside jokes.

 

Rey: Let’s just pretend this conversation never happened.

 

Mitaka: we should tell him

 

Rose: we totally shouldn’t

 

Mitaka: everyone else has given up on preserving the timeline

 

Rose: yes but this is about preserving our lives

 

Mitaka: you really think they’d resort to murder?

 

Kaydel: who’re we even talking about?

 

Kaydel: wait wait wait

 

Kaydel: the more important question is, are they related to anakin?

 

Mitaka: yes

 

Kaydel: it will lead to murder

 

Kaydel: even though i have no idea what you guys are talking about

 

Han: I think it has something to do with that time on the failed Area 51 trip when Rey told me how I die.

 

Ben: You WHAT?!

 

Rey: Zorii told me to!

 

Zorii: I did not tell you to-

 

Rey: Well you didn’t tell me not to, and he asked how bad things get, and murder kind of topped the list!

 

Ben: You couldn’t have said something about Hosnia instead?

 

Rey: I did!

 

Mitaka: We kind of covered all the bases.

 

Jyn: it was interesting

 

Anakin: do you think i should bring my lightsaber with us to the store?

 

Cara: omigod NO

 

Luke: ABSOLUTELY NOT

 

Evaan: BAD IDEA BAD IDEA

 

Anakin: …?

 

Jyn: TELL HIM TELL HIM TELL HIM

 

Cara: THIS IS GETTING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE

 

Jyn: TELL HIM

 

Cara: NO, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT SHOULD REMAIN A SECRET

 

Anakin: WHY ARE YOU ALL SCREAMING AT ME

 

Cara: BECAUSE I’M HANGRY

 

Anakin: o ok that’s a reasonable excuse

 

Cara: imma go grab somethin to eat

 

Anakin: you do that 👍

 

Jannah: I call not going to the store with Anakin.

 

Ben: I call whatever Han isn’t doing.

 

Han: I’d ask, but so far that hasn’t ended well.

 

Jyn: Please please please tell me what happens in the future for u guys to freak out like this 🥺😈

 

Rey: no because you’ll immediately tell Han.

 

Rey: and i think we have enough problems on our hands right now.

 

Fennec: Guys let’s just figure out who’s going with who before we have more than eight problems.

 

Cara: SHOTGUN!

 

Ezra: Aww, no fair, you got it last time!

 

Cara: No, I mean like I found a shotgun in the kitchen.

 

Ezra: you know what, how about you take shotgun seat too while you’re at it, i’ll just step aside real quick-

 

Fennec: We’re getting dangerously close to more than eight problems.

 

Maul: Why is our deadline eight?

 

Armitage: More importantly, why is there a kriffing shotgun in our kitchen?!

 

Jyn: Nah, the first question is definitely more important.

 

Cara: Step away from the passenger seat, I also call shotgun as well.

 

Fennec: nO SHOTGUNS ALLOWED IN MY CAR

 

Cara: WHAT ABOUT BLASTERS

 

Fennec: THOSE ARE ALLOWED

 

Cara: GIVE ME TWENTY MINUTES AND THIS THING’LL BE SHOOTING LASERS

 

Fennec: NO SHOTGUN CARA

 

Cara: BUT THEN IT’LL BE A BLASTER

 

Fennec: …you win this round

 

Anakin: We should probably assign groups bc Ahsoka and Padmé are scary on their own

 

Anakin: But when they work together to murder you, it’s even more terrifying.

 

Asajj: Got it, so Obi-Wan is afraid of spiders, and Anakin is afraid of Padmé and Ahsoka.

 

Anakin: FOR GOOD REASON

 

Leia: Don’t forget Luke, he’s afraid of seagulls.

 

Luke: Stop it. Now.

 

Maul: So in other words, the light-siders are losers?

 

Ezra: Rude.

 

Obi-Wan: If I remember correctly, I sliced you in half when I was like 14

 

Rey: I wouldn’t trust a 14-year-old with a lightsaber to begin with.

 

Cassian: I wouldn’t trust most of us with lightsabers, and we’re adults.

 

Din: What do you mean, ‘most of us’? I wouldn’t trust any of us.

 

Jyn: I don’t trust any of you to begin with.

 

Cassian: We know, Jyn.

 

Jyn: Just making sure.

 

Kaydel: Mk so uh guys while you were arguing the cookies finally started to burn.

 

Jannah: WHY DID IT TAKE THIS LONG FOR THEM TO BURN

 

Quinlan: They have reached a level of fireproof-ness that none of us can hope to reach.

 

Ezra: especially anakin

 

Anakin: WHY DOES EVERYONE KNOW THINGS ABOUT ME THAT I DON’T KNOW

 

Fennec: Idk but guys you have five minutes to figure out who’s going to the utility store with me before I leave without you.

 

Din: I’m going wherever Cara goes because someone needs to make sure she doesn’t do...anything.

 

Cara: Can I breathe?

 

Din: Yes Cara, you are allowed to breathe.

 

Cara: Can I steal all of the little paint sample thingies?

 

Din: no

 

Cara: Mk I’m doing it then.

 

Han: I guess I’ll head to the utility store.

 

Evaan: Sure, why not?

 

Quinlan: I might as well go.

 

Din: Wait guys we need one more responsible person to come with us.

 

Zorii: …

 

Mitaka: …

 

Asajj: …

 

Din: We need one more person with more than one brain cell left.

 

Din: AND THE BRAIN CELL MUST BE USED FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN CHAOS AND ANARCHY

 

Jyn: …

 

Kaydel: …

 

Ezra: …

 

Armitage: i vote ben

 

Ben: NO

 

Fennec: Alright Ben you’re coming with.

 

Armitage: You know what I’m coming to watch this go down.

 

Rey: I’m coming to prevent a duel.

 

Kaydel: I’ll bring the popcorn.

 

Anakin: Wait guys I’m coming with you!

 

Anakin: As long as there’s younglings, I mean.

 

Leia: I...am coming as well to prevent disaster.

 

Fennec: Ok that’s enough for the utility store group.

 

Fennec: GET IN LOSERS WE’RE GOING SHOPPING

 

Han: YOU DON’T HAVE TO YELL

 

Fennec: IT’S MY BUS AND I’LL YELL IF I WANT TO

 

Armitage: So...by show of hands...how many of you are bringing lightsabers?

 

Armitage: oh my god we’re going to die

 

Evaan: ANAKIN LEAVE YOUR LIGHTSABER AT THE COMPOUNDS

 

Anakin: WHY

 

Anakin: BUT YOUNGLINGS

 

Anakin: I WANT TO TEACH THEM THE FINE ART OF LIGHTSABER DUELING

 

Evaan: NO

 

Quinlan: Wait, Leia owns a lightsaber?

 

Leia: Yes.

 

Fennec: I don’t know what this says about us but there’s 12 of us and 5 of us have lightsabers. And then the rest of us have various weapons.

 

Din: v-various?

 

Cara: Yea me and Fennec have a few backups just in case.

 

Din: WE ARE LITERALLY GOING TO THE UTILITY STORE

 

Din: WHY DO YOU NEED WEAPONS?!?!?!

 

Fennec: This is the way

 

Din: ok that’s rude no using the mandalorian code against me.

 

Fennec: no that was a question i just forgot to add a question mark

 

Fennec: i was asking cara if this was the way to the utility store

 

Din: oh

Chapter 26: Wheelyboxes

Notes:

...here you go *hands over chapter* it ain’t pretty, but it’s there.

Chapter Text

Fennec has started a chat room

 

Fennec invited WALL SHOPPERS

 

Fennec: ok so this was the closest utility store we could find with our combined map skills, which are very limited

 

Armitage: Home Depot?

 

Kaydel: Why is it so...orange?

 

Fenenc: I have no idea let’s go.

 

Quinlan: Hey wait I would like to argue with this chat’s name.

 

Quinlan: You make it sound like we’re going in there to buy a wall.

 

Fennec: Are we not?

 

Quinlan: ...fair.

 

Cara: Who’s coming with me to the paint sample aisle, I’m gonna need some help to carry them all.

 

Din: Cara why

 

Cara: Because

 

Cara: I want to tape them all over the walls of my room.

 

Evaan: We should probably figure out who’s here to cause chaos and who’s here to buy stuff to help fix the wall.

 

Leia: Why are there little boxes on wheels everywhere?

 

Anakin: Padmé said those are called shopping carts.

 

Kaydel: ...are any of you thinking what I’m thinking?

 

Fennec: YES

 

Anakin: I’M IN

 

Han: oh no

 

Han: what?

 

Fennec: KAYDEL, CARA GET IN

 

Fennec: GUYS HELP ME PUSH THEM

 

Din: We’re not even inside the store yet and you guys want to break something.

 

Cara: I’M GOING OFF THE RAILS ON A CRAZY TRAIN

 

Armitage: Alright move over ladies let me in

 

Kaydel: No.

 

Kaydel: Get your own shopping cart.

 

Armitage: …

 

Rey: no

 

Rey: no way

 

Rey: absolutely not

 

Rey: I’m not pushing you.

 

Armitage: …

 

Ben: Neither am I.

 

Armitage: please?

 

Evaan: I want to ride in the cart.

 

Armitage: There’s enough room for two people, but we still need someone to push us.

 

Ben: no.

 

Rey: you’re terrible at puppy dog eyes by the way

 

Armitage: 🥺

 

Evaan: 🥺

 

Ben: they’re evolving

 

Rey: ONE time.

 

Rey: Just one.

 

Ben: ...fine.

 

Fennec: FIRST ONE TO THE DOORS WINS!

 

Din: WAIT NO ALL OF YOU STOP NOW

 

Din: SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE

 

Quinlan: I’ll bet you 15 credits that it’s Kaydel

 

Leia: I’ll put 10 credits on hux but only because they crash into the store’s front door

 

Anakin: ok I’m getting my own shopping cart

 

Anakin: Din can you push me in the shopping cart?

 

Din: Absolutely not. I want no part of this aside from earning the 30 credits I place on Anakin being the one to die.

 

Fennec: push yourself with the force

 

Anakin: Wait can I do that?

 

Anakin: GUYS IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!!

 

Din: you just crashed into someone’s car

 

Din: now we’re going to be killed by Padmé, Ahsoka, and the owner of that poor car.

 

Fennec: Alright Han can you be the referee?

 

Han: Sure.

 

Han: 3…

 

Han: 2…

 

Han: 1…

 

Han: GO!!!!!

 

Din: oh my god

 

Leia: why is this actually entertaining?

 

Quinlan: FASTER, YOU’RE NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH TO KILL ANYONE YET

 

Anakin: I HAVE FOUND A POWER FAR GREATER THAN THE HIGH GROUND

 

Anakin: I HAVE ACHIEVED THE RANK OF SHOPPING CART MASTER

 

Rey: GUYS IF YOU LEAN FORWARD MAYBE IT’LL GO FASTER

 

Ben: I DON’T THINK THAT’S HOW IT WORKS BUT OK

 

Cara: FENNEC PUSH FASTER

 

Evaan: WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE

 

Din: Anakin is going to kill someone

 

Anakin: THE FORCE IS TERRIBLE AT STEERING

 

Din: YOU’VE WRECKED EIGHT CARS

 

Cara: Ok I’m jumping into Anakin’s to knock him off course

 

Armitage; To be fair, you can’t get much more off course than he already is.

 

Cara: Good point I’m jumping into yours now.

 

Armitage: waIT NO NO NO CARA STOP

 

Evaan: GUYS PUSH FASTER SHE’S TRYING TO JUMP IN HERE

 

Ben: HOW MUCH FURTHER UNTIL WE GET TO THE DOORS!?!

 

Evaan: like fifteen meters oh force we’re all gonna die

 

Quinlan: There are people watching us, should we be scared?

 

Leia: Of course not.

 

Leia: Probably.

 

Din: GUYS STOP YOU’RE ALL GONNA CRASH

 

Armitage: QUINLAN OPEN THE DOORS

 

Quinlan: HOW

 

Armitage: I DUNNO, WITH THE FORCE, MAYBE?

 

Quinlan: oh

 

Fennec: STOP STOP STOP THERE’S A WALL

 

Kaydel: YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S DRIVING

 

Fennec: OH YEAH I FORGOT

 

Din: Oh thank the force

 

Leia: Oml what happened and what was that insanely loud screech

 

Din: They all managed to stop but the wheels on the wheely-boxes made a loud noise.

 

Rey: w h e e l y b o x e s

 

Fennec: l e t s  r a c e  w h e e l y b o x e s  a g a i n

 

Din: I hate you both.

 

Leia: What was that insanely loud crash which was then followed by another insanely loud screech?

 

Armitage: That was Anakin crashing into a giant stack of boxes and then screeching loudly.

 

Leia: yea i probably should’ve guessed that one

 

Din: Does this mean I get 30 credits? I mean, he’s still alive, but…

 

Quinlan: I’ll give you 20 credits and a cheese stick.

 

Din: That’s fair.

Chapter 27: Adventures in Home Depot

Notes:

...i have nothing to say for myself.

Hope you’re having a better day than these poor Home Depot employees 🙃

Chapter Text

Quinlan: I am also willing to accept bets on how long it will take for all of us to be kicked out.

 

Kaydel: We just walked in here.

 

Quinlan: Exactly.

 

Rey: That’s fair.

 

Rey: I’m not betting, but I’d give it five minutes before one of us is kicked out. Idk how long it’ll take for all of us to be banned though.

 

Evaan: I’ll give us less than an hour, I’m gonna go build a bunker out of those huge boxes over there so I don’t die when you all do something stupid.

 

Quinlan: I may end up joining you later.

 

Evaan: I’ll make sure there’s room for at least three of us.

 

Fennec: Well imma go find a wall.

 

Rey: I...I’m gonna make sure she doesn’t actually attempt to buy a wall.

 

Armitage: We should’ve brought Rose with us, she would actually know how to fix this.

 

Kaydel- I think she’s helping to look for Morai.

 

Han: Did we think this through at all?

 

Cara: Of course not, why?

 

Han: …

 

Han: Wait where are you?

 

Cara: Paint section.

 

Han: Oh yea, stealing the colors.

 

Cara: BORROWING FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME, THANK YOU

 

Cara: NOW PLEASE STOP TEXTING

 

Din: Cara Update: she’s now flirting with the lady working next to the paint samples.

 

Ben: ...I’m afraid to ask why, but somebody has to.

 

Din: Because I refused to.

 

Ben: again, WHY

 

Din: She”s trying to distract the lady so she leaves.

 

Din: And now they’re exchanging numbers.

 

Din: Wow she’s good at this.

 

Fennec: SEE CARA YOU DON'T EVEN NEED MY PHONE FOR TINDER

 

Din: give it a minute, she’s finishing up her distraction tactics.

 

Cara: Hey Fennec, can you drop me off at the cute coffee place we passed on the way here at about this time tomorrow? I’ve got a date.

 

Fennec: With the Home Depot lady? Wow, that was fast.

 

Cara: ??? No, with u.

 

Fennec: …

 

Anakin: did anyone else hear what I just heard because-

 

Leia: shut up Anakin they’re having a moment.

 

Cara: i mean unless u don’t wanna go cause i invited melinda she said she would be ok with being a third wheel but

 

Fennec: Yes.

 

Cara: What?

 

Fennec: yes :)

 

Cara: Yes? As in yes you’ll go?

 

Fennec: Yes! 🖤

 

Cara: YES!

 

Leia: So we’re all invited to the wedding, right?

 

Fennec: haha no wedding yet

 

Cara: well, you were right about one thing, Fennec.

 

Fennec: just one?

 

Cara: Ok so multiple, fair point.

 

Cara: but anyway, u were right about one thing…

 

Cara: I didn’t need your phone for Tinder.

 

Din: ...Cara, we’re gonna have to work on your game.

 

Cara: says the guy who flies around the galaxy in a trash can with wings, trying to find a teacher for his adopted wizard child with anger issues.

 

Din: ...don’t you dare bring my child into this, you rebel scum.

 

Evaan: ...what happened, I put down my phone for TWO MINUTES and suddenly you guys are gonna murder each other.

 

Evaan: ..wait are you absolutely sure that Melinda is ok with being the third wheel for you two?

 

Cara: It’s a double date? Melinda and Melinda. And me and Fennec!

 

Quinlan: No, Cara-

 

Kaydel: Don’t correct her, I wanna see how this turns out.

 

Anakin: GUYS LOOK I FOUND A WALL!!!!!

 

Armitage: Yes Anakin, there’s four of them. They make up something called a building.

 

Armitage: Congratulations.

 

Anakin: Does anyone here actually know how to fix a wall tho?

 

Armitage: Good point, no.

 

Anakin: Let’s just st- borrow this one for an undetermined amount of time.

 

Ben: I feel like this whole ‘borrowing’ thing is getting out of hand.

 

Armitage: It definitely has, but I’m not stopping them.

 

Din: Weren’t you one of the people who signed up because you were helping me STOP the chaos?

 

Armitage: yes but

 

Armitage: i don’t see you stopping them either

 

Din: …

 

Anakin: OK SO THERE’S 5 PEOPLE HERE WITH LIGHTSABERS, I’M GOING TO NEED AT LEAST THREE OF THEM TO HELP ME BORROW THIS WALL

 

Anakin: ALSO A COUPLE WHEELYBOXES TO CARRY IT OUT

 

Leia: oh no

 

Leia: I look away from Anakin for ONE SECOND…

 

Din: Don’t worry, I’ve been there too

 

Din: CARA PUT THAT DOWN

 

Cara: NO!

 

Din: NO TOUCHING THOSE

 

Cara: I CAN TOUCH THEM IF I WANT TO, LEAVE ME ALONE

 

Din: She is literally worse than Grogu.

 

Cara: Hey Din can you help me carry these paint samples?

 

Din: We’re probably gonna need a wheelybox.

 

Cara: ...probably two.

 

Din: Mk I think there’s some over by the display of those long circular things with sharp edges.

 

Cara: The green ones?

 

Din: Yea

 

Evaan: An update on the betting: Rey, you’re at 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

 

Rey: Kaydel and Han just started dueling with pipes, also I’m not betting.

 

Fennec: I swear you guys will find any occasion to start dueling.

 

Kaydel: HE JUST INSULTED MY KNOWLEDGE OF WASHING MACHINES

 

Fennec: …

 

Rey: Don’t worry, this is a thing she does.

 

Armitage: I have video evidence to back up that statement.

 

Ben: So you’re saying they’re now dueling on top of washing machines...because of washing machines?

 

Rey: Look, Kaydel has a lot of random knowledge.

 

Armitage: Ahhh yes, *that* friend. We have one of those too.

 

Armitage: Mitaka knows far too much about insects and knitting.

 

Leia: ...excuse me did you say knitting ?!

 

Armitage: yep

 

Ben: We are a complete and utter disappointment to the Empire.

 

Leia: Very much so.

 

Leia: You guys take over the galaxy in the future???

 

Armitage: Yea basically.

 

Leia: Surprising, but okay.

 

Armitage: Rey, Kaydel, this is the part where you guys back us up.

 

Kaydel: No thanks, I just met you guys like three weeks ago.

 

Rey: I’m helping Evaan with something.

 

Armitage: pls

 

Rey: no

 

Ben: seriously?

 

Rey: give me like 30 seconds ok

 

Ben: k

 

Leia: I’m still waiting for someone to explain how those two ended up ruling the galaxy.

 

Rey: oh that’s what you guys needed?

 

Rey: tbh i have no idea but there was this annoying raisin guy involved

 

Rey: he’s dead now

 

Rey: but anyway i actually don’t know how the FO took over

 

Ben: that was really not helpful

 

Rey: I wasn’t even there when the FO took over ok

 

Ben: fine

 

Ben: Kaydel can u help us out?

 

Kaydel: naw i gotta beat Han

 

Armitage: … just don’t stab him 😜

 

Ben: I hate all of you so so much.

 

Evaan: *grabs popcorn* I WANNA SEE WHERE THIS GOES

 

Din: We have acquired the wheelyboxes.

 

Cara: Let’s acquire some paint samples then.

 

Din: I’m not a part of this, I’m just helping to push the wheelyboxes.

 

Fennec: guilty by association.

 

Fennec: I think.

 

Fennec: I don’t pay attention to the law unless I’m breaking it.

 

Quinlan: Yea that’s fair.

 

Quinlan: GUYS GUYS GUYS WE ARE AT 4 MINUTES AND 26 SECONDS AND ONE OF THE ORANGE PEOPLE IS YELLING AT KAYDEL AND HAN

 

Kaydel: she complimented my fighting skills

 

Kaydel: AT LEAST SOMEONE APPRECIATES MY WASHING MACHINE KNOWLEDGE

 

Han: She kicked me out.

 

Han: Imma go wait in the bus.

 

Armitage: *whispers* well, at least nobody’s getting stabbed

 

Ben: I don’t know, day’s not over yet.

 

Ben: in other words, shut up or you’re next

 

Armitage: noted. I’m just gonna go chill with Evaan.

 

Quinlan: So have we acquired the wall yet?

 

Cara: We have one and a half wheelyboxes full of paint samples.

 

Din: You have one and a half wheelyboxes full of paint samples.

 

Quinlan: So no.

 

Anakin: GUYS I NEED HELP

 

Quinlan: OK SO ANYONE WITH A LIGHTSABER MEET UP BY ANAKIN

 

Ben: I’m also going to hide with Evaan.

 

Evaan: *sips caf* I’m just watching this unfold.

 

Leia: How much of the wall do we need to borrow?

 

Quinlan: I wrote down the dimensions, gimme a minute to find the paper…

 

Fennec: I don’t think it’s humanly possible to read that writing.

 

Quinlan: Look, writing isn’t one of the classes you can take at the Jedi Temple.

 

Anakin: Quinlan, that looks like you dipped a tooka cat in ink and then let it walk all over your paper.

 

Quinlan: That was oddly specific.

 

Anakin: There was ink EVERYWHERE

 

Quinlan: Anakin-

 

Quinlan: no wonder they stopped letting us bring ink into the temple

 

Leia: …

 

Ben: We’re the disappointments?

 

Leia: I am the only sane person in this family.

 

Rey: And Padmé.

 

Ben: and rey

 

Kaydel: 👀

 

Armitage: 👀

 

Fennec: at least invite me to the wedding pls

Chapter 28: Karaoke + thievery + washing machines = ...um

Notes:

Lack of sleep and time ended up producing this chapter...apologies if it’s all over the place.

Chapter Text

Cara: 🎵EVERYTHING IS BLUEEEEEEEE🎵

 

Din: You’ll never guess which color of the rainbow we’ve reached.

 

Cara: 🎵AND NOW I’M COVERED IN THE COLORS🎵

 

Cara: 🎵PULL APART AT THE SEAMS🎵

 

Fennec: How many wheelyboxes have you filled so far?

 

Din: Two. She just started filling the third one.

 

Quinlan: I just want all of you to know that I’ve been videoing all of this.

 

Rey: I don’t have enough energy to deal with that problem right now.

 

Fennec: Don’t call it a problem or we’ll be over the limit.

 

Rey: Mk

 

Evaan: What was the limit?

 

Fennec: Eight.

 

Evaan: We’re wayyyyyyy over the limit at this point.

 

Leia: I don’t see you doing anything about it.

 

Evaan: I wasn’t complaining, I was observing.

 

Evaan: *sips caf*

 

Anakin: EXCUSE ME, WHERE DID YOU FIND CAF?!?!?!

 

Fennec: Ok but even I know that caf for Anakin is a bad idea.

 

Quinlan: So...the wall?

 

Anakin: oh yea

 

Anakin: I’ll take this half if you get that half.

 

Rey: How...how are we carrying said wall?

 

Fennec: Use the force or something.

 

Ben: ...That’s not how the force works

 

Din: Well we have some spare wheelyboxes you guys can use.

 

Armitage: ...of course you do.

 

Han: Can you guys speed this up, I’m waiting for you on the bus.

 

Kaydel: HAHA CAUSE YOU GOT BANNED

 

Evaan: does anyone know where i can find sugar cause this caf tastes terrible

 

Kaydel: idk im literally curled up in a washing machine right now

 

Kaydel: an ocean washing machine by the looks of it

 

Ben: …

 

Rey: Like I said. She has a lot of random knowledge.

 

Evaan: Can I join you?

 

Kaydel: I can try to make room.

 

Evaan: LET’S PRETEND ITSA PIRATE SHIP

 

Evaan: BECAUSE IT’S AN OCEAN WASHING MACHINE

 

Armitage: ..um?

 

Armitag: I don’t even know how to respond to this.

 

Kaydel: 🎵SOON MAY THE WELLERMAN COME

 

Evaan: TO BRING US SUGAR AND TEA AND RUM

 

Kaydel: ONE DAY WHEN THE TOUNGIN IS DONE

 

Evaan: WE’LL TAKE OUR LEAVE AND GO🎵

 

Han: I’m very confused.

 

Fennec: There’s only one way to respond to this.

 

Fennec: Cara?

 

Cara: I got you 🖤

 

Fennec: 🎵She had not been two weeks from shore

 

Cara: When down on her a right whale bore

 

Fennec: The captain called all hands and swore

 

Cara: He’d take that whale in tow!🎵

 

Armitage: I love how we all know the lyrics.

 

Quinlan: How could any of us NOT know the lyrics? Jyn and Anakin insisted on playing it for FOUR. HOURS. STRAIGHT.

 

Armitage: Ben. Help me with something real quick.

 

Ben: I’m not joining the washing machine battlefield.

 

Armitage: ...Rey?

 

Rey: I can’t believe I’m doing this.

 

Rey: 🎵Soon may the Wellerman come

 

Armitage: To bring us 🍭 and ☕️ and 🍺

 

Rey: One day when the toungin is done

 

Armitage: We’ll take our 🍁and 6️⃣🅾️🎵

 

Rey: Ok apparently I gotta go help Anakin steal a wall now so find someone else to sing 😊👍

 

Anakin: BORROW FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

 

Rey: Yea, that.

 

Quinlan: We’re about halfway through the wall.

 

Quinlan: Hey Fennec, can the bus carry this much weight?

 

Fennec: Remember what I said earlier?

 

Quinlan: You have no map skills?

 

Fennec: ...before that.

 

Quinlan: Cara isn’t allowed to use your phone for Tinder anymore?

 

Fennec: after that

 

Quinlan: ……..well there was an extremely long rant about your mom insults?

 

Fennec: I TOLD YOU I MODIFIED THE BUS

 

Quinlan: Ohhhhhh

 

Quinlan: See, you talk a lot, so I had a lot of things to choose from.

 

Fennec: So yes, the bus can carry the wall. The question is can we carry the wall?

 

Cara: Wheelyboxes.

 

Anakin: I think we agreed on a combination of wheelyboxes and the force.

 

Leia: ...good to know.

Chapter 29: Unexpected Additions

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Cara: WE HAVE ACQUIRED ALL OF THE COLORS

 

Cara: I AM THE MASTER OF THE RAINBOW

 

Anakin: YEA? WELL WE HAVE ACQUIRED A WALL

 

Anakin: SO FIGHT ME

 

Cara: ALRIGHT, SQUARE UP

 

Anakin: woah woah woah we seem to be getting ahead of ourselves

 

Quinlan: We would literally have to carry pieces of Anakin back to the compounds.

 

Din: Without a doubt. Cara would crush him.

 

Leia: We need help carrying the wall.

 

Kaydel: Wait, Leia joined the chaos!?

 

Leia: Reluctantly.

 

Leia: Technically I’m not even touching the wall, so no crime.

 

Ben: I just want to say that I’m against this and do not support the borrowing of this wall.

 

Fennec: They’re a utility store, they’ll know how to fix it.

 

Rey: That’s not…

 

Rey: Fennec, we just stole a part of their wall, the question is not ‘will they be able to fix it?’ It’s ‘will they kill us for CUTTING A HOLE IN THEIR STORE?!?!’

 

Din: I knew I liked you for a reason.

 

Din: you have to be the one single person who’s tried to help me stop her so far.

 

Rey: she’s gonna keep doing it either way

 

Din: I know, but it’s nice to see people trying.

 

Evaan: Is it safe to exit the washing machine?

 

Armitage: Depends on how you’d define ‘safe’.

 

Evaan: oh force

 

Armitage: there’s literally a huge chunk of the wall floating through the store right now.

 

Armitage: Fennec and Cara and Din and Kaydel and I are clearing the way so no one gets run over.

 

Evaan: Ok so if you guys are taking precautions not to run anyone over, I’d deem that safer than our compounds.

 

Quinlan: I’d deem that correct.

 

Anakin: what is deem and why do i like saying it

 

Ben: oh my god i can’t believe i actually looked up to you

 

Armitage: I can

 

Rey: I can

 

Kaydel: I can

 

Anakin: I can’t.

 

Leia: guys we’re gonna have to go through this weird thing called checkout.

 

Evaan: wait don’t we just go up to the owner and pay them?

 

Cara: WE’D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER

 

Kaydel: *whispers* Karen.

 

Cara: It’s Cara, but what do you want?

 

Kaydel: …

 

Armitage: Cara-n

 

Din: I do not understand this humor.

 

Fennec: It’s next generation humor, Din. You’re too old to understand.

 

Din: …

 

Din: no u

 

Evaan: Wait, guys, is no u a palindrome?

 

Quinlan: ...holy force, Evaan just broke language.

 

Leia: PEOPLE! CHECKOUT!

 

Anakin: Just point us in the general direction and we’ll try not to crash.

 

Quinlan: Ok I’ll run ahead and see where she’s pointing.

 

Rey: WAIT NO THE WALL’S GONNA FALL

 

Quinlan: I will run ahead a short distance so I can still help carry the floating wall.

 

Quinlan: GUYS GUYS GUYS GUESS WHO I JUST MET AT THE CHECKOUT

 

Din: Padmé?

 

Ben: Ahsoka?

 

Quinlan: Ok so first of all why would they lie to us about where they work?

 

Ben: They wouldn’t, but everyone you know is probably dead in our time.

 

Din: Yea, basically.

 

Quinlan: oh

 

Quinlan: ANAKIN, GUESS WHO I JUST MET AT CHECKOUT

 

Anakin: Sabé?

 

Quinlan: No.

 

Anakin: Cody?

 

Quinlan: Nope.

 

Anakin: ..Cara’s friend Melinda?

 

Quinlan: Yea Imma just tell u.

 

Quinlan: HUNTER

 

Quinlan: FROM CLONE FORCE 99

 

Anakin: WAIT REALLY

 

Quinlan: YES

 

Quinlan: Ok gimme a sec he’s staring at me weirdly.

 

Quinlan invited Hunter

 

Hunter: Could someone please explain what’s going on?

 

Hunter: Why are we texting instead of talking?

 

Quinlan: ...We’re gonna have company in a few seconds.

 

Hunter: wait wait kind of com- WHAT DID YOU DO

 

Anakin: HI!

 

Hunter: Hey, I wondered what happened to you! Never expected anything like this, but...well.

 

Anakin: How’d you end up here?

 

Hunter: Our ship crashed while we were running from the Empire.

 

Leia: Running from the Empire? But...Order 66?

 

Hunter: Didn’t work. We tried staying off the Empire’s radar for a while, but we’ve been stuck here for a few months now.

 

Evaan: Same here!

 

Hunter: Nice. Also...who are you?

 

Din: Uh…that’s gonna take some explaining.

Notes:

AYYYYY, GUESS WHO’S JOINING THIS MESS OF A CAST: THE BAD BATCH!!!
If anyone has a specific Bad Batch character they want to see, pls let me know!

Chapter 30: I spent so much energy writing this chapter that there is no creativity left for titling it

Chapter Text

Hunter: ...so you guys are telling me that you were literally pulled out of time and somehow brought here to this random planet where Jedi, Sith, all that fighting, etc...does not exist?

 

Din: Yes, basically.

 

Hunter: And some of you are related?

 

Ben: Unfortunately.

 

Hunter: And there are MORE of you?

 

Quinlan: At Area 51!!!

 

Hunter: And...you have a modified bus.

 

Fennec: YES

 

Fennec: SHE IS MINE AND I LOVE HER

 

Cara: ...i thought you loved me 🥺

 

Fennec: I thought that was a given.

 

Cara: 🥲

 

Han: GUYS I’M STILL ON THE BUS, PLS STOP STANDING AROUND AND CHATTING

 

Evaan: Sorry

 

Anakin: not really

 

Leia: Hey, would you guys wanna come back to the compounds with us?

 

Hunter: Sure, I can grab the crew. Everyone’s bored here anyway.

 

Hunter: It’s way too orange here.

 

Armitage: It might be a little crowded.

 

Fennec: Half of the people in our compounds need an excuse to sleep with someone else, it definitely won’t be crowded.

 

Armitage: Yes but how much of the base has burned down so far?

 

Fennec: Ohhhhhh yea, I forgot about the whole thing with the cookies for a minute.

 

Rey: Did they at least burn by the time we left?

 

Anakin: Nope. They were just starting to burn a little bit.

 

Rey: Remind me to never let Anakin cook. Ever.

 

Leia: Great, I’ll remind you when we have the FBI over for dinner and have to explain why we borrowed a wall and burned down the other three walls of the compound anyway.

 

Rey: That’s fair.

 

Hunter: you guys.. are being tracked by the FBI?

 

Cara: I’m friends with Fennec’s FBI agent!

 

Hunter: Sounds illegal.

 

Hunter: We’re in.

 

Hunter: I’ll go round up the crew, you guys might wanna work on getting the wall out to your bus.

 

Quinlan: Will do, thanks bro.

 

Quinlan: Alright, so now that that’s over with, how are we going to fit Cara’s colors in the bus?

 

Fennec: well…

 

Din: Can I say it this time?

 

Fennec: Sure.

 

Din: MoDiFiCaTiOnS

 

Din: That was surprisingly satisfying.

 

Quinlan: And what do these modifications entail?

 

Fennec: Secret compartments.

 

Cara: SECRET COLOR COMPARTMENTS

 

Cara: YES

 

Ben: Where are we putting the colors when we get back to the base?

 

Cara: My room, obviously.

 

Ben: oh ok

 

Din: I can assist with that, it’s the first thing she’s tried to do all day that’s not violent or illegal.

 

Leia: So are we just putting the wall on top of the bus, or-

 

Anakin: Sure, why not?

 

Leia: ...many reasons

 

Quinlan: Props to Fennec’s modifications, because this bus just held a wall that took like 6 Jedi to lift.

 

Leia: Actually I’m not a Jedi.

 

Ben: Same.

 

Rey: ...it’s debatable???

 

Quinlan: …*two Jedi and a bunch of random indecisive people

 

Fennec: GUYS I THINK THOSE EMPLOYEES ARE HEADED OUR WAY

 

Cara: HOLY FORCE THEY'VE SENT THE ENTIRE ORANGE ARMY

 

Fennec: Anakin, your friends better get here soon or we’re gonna be in even deeper trouble than normal…

 

Anakin: Don’t worry, they’re just like us.

 

Anakin: They will arrive creatively, destructively, and at the last possible second.

 

Din: I’ve got a bad feeling about this…

 

Armitage: Look on the bright side, Din. There’ll be more chaos-causing idiots for you to yell at and attempt to control.

 

Armitage: Keyword being attempt.

 

Din: nONONONONO-

 

Cara: TOO LATE THEY’RE COMING!!!!!

 

Evaan: Now THAT is a dramatic entrance.

 

Di: I don’t even want to know.

 

Han: They just crashed through a window on a firework-powered sled.

 

Fennec: yea, they’re gonna fit in real nicely here.

 

Kaydel: I don’t think they’re gonna make it…

 

Rey: They just rocketed over the orange army, or whatever we’re calling that.

 

Rey: They’ll be fine.

 

Kaydel: Yea, but will we?

 

Fennec: OH MY GOD THEY'RE GONNA CRASH INTO MY BUS!!!!!!

 

Anakin: PROTECT THE BUS

 

Ben: I think the bus will be fine, if it can hold an entire wall. And us.

 

Ben: and all the chaos we bring onto it.

 

Hunter: We have arrived!

 

Din: ok I really don’t want to be impressed by anything you idiots do, but they just timed that so they slid to a perfect stop, RIGHT in front of the bus door.

 

Din: ...woah.

 

Hunter invited The Bad Batch

 

Wrecker: This is the group we’re joining up with?

 

Echo: Any of you Imps?

 

Fennec: Woah woah woah, put the blaster down buddy-

 

Tech: None of them seem to be Imperial, though two seem to be from a possible future version of our generation’s Empire, if what Hunter said about people from the future being true.

 

Wrecker: nice, nice, really nice, THERE’S ANOTHER EMPIRE!?!?!

 

Rey: …

 

Armitage: …

 

Tech: Actually, I’m not surprised. Judging by the amounts of weapons and rebels each planet we’ve seen so far possess, it’s not unlikely that the Empire eventually manages to stamp them out and evolve.

 

Leia: Hey! 😡

 

Han: sadly, I have no idea how the war ends, though I do live long enough to be murdered by my child.

 

Han: so presumably, we win.

 

Kaydel: …at this point I don’t even know what’s taboo and what’s not

 

Evaan: Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that Han just used the word presumably, because I didn’t know he could speak more than just monosyllabic words.

 

Hana: mono….what now?

 

Evaan: I take that back.

 

Evaan: please disregard the former message 🤗

 

Hunter: So, where are we headed, Jedi, indecisive people, bounty hunters, and rebels?

 

Fennec: Strap in. It’s time to see if there’s even a base to go back to.

Chapter 31: fire-fighting (ft. celine dion)

Chapter Text

Fennec: Holy force.

 

Fennec: it’s...still intact.

 

Din: THIS is intact????

 

Hunter: Am I seeing things, or is there a literal hole in your supposedly intact base?

 

Ben: It’s...it’s a long story.

 

Anakin: Why else would we be stealing a wall?

 

Hunter: ...because you’re Anakin? And that’s just something you would do?

 

Evaan: that’s fair

 

Leia: so I’m starting to think I got all my genes from my mom-

 

Armitage: Is that scientifically possible?

 

Leia: when Anakin’s involved, normal rules and limitations do not exist

 

Armitage: Fair, fair.

 

Wrecker: So you guys all live here?

 

Din: Us, and also another large group of people with varying amounts of brain cells.

 

Tech: That sounds concerning.

 

Din: I have seen things no other being has seen.

 

Din: Things I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

 

Din: Actually, I take that back, there was that time Gideon kidnapped my son. But you get the idea.

 

Echo: interesting?

 

Rey: everyone here has some sort of tragic backstory.

 

Fennec: I died!

 

Han: I get murdered in the future!

 

Leia: I’m related to Anakin, and I think that’s the most tragic thing that’s happened to me.

 

Quinlan: my gf died but it’s all good cause she’s here at the compounds

 

Kaydel: actually I’m pretty much fine-

 

Evaan: *everyone here except Kaydel has some sort of tragic backstory

 

Tech: Would any of you like to explain the fire emanating from the partially demolished building?

 

Quinlan: ...no, not really

 

Anakin: It’s fire emanating from a partially demolished building. Does it really need an explanation?

 

Tech: ...no. Not really.

 

Fennec: alRIGHT, ALL YOU INDECISIVE FORCE-USING PEOPLE, GET THE WALL IN PLACE BEFORE PADMÉ GETS HOME!

 

Rey: you really didn’t have to yell, we’re all right here

 

Fennec: CAPS LOCK SORRY

 

Rey:

 

Quinlan: So should we...go inside???

 

Ben: Probably, but...that’s a disturbing amount of fire.

 

Anakin: Well I’m heading inside to check on my cookies, you guys have fun.

 

Hunter: c o o k i e s

 

Hunter: THIS IS ALL BECAUSE ANAKIN MADE COOKIES?!?!

 

Leia: Embarrassingly enough, yes.

 

Hunter: Oh no wonder the whole place is on fire. Anakin can’t bake to save his life!

 

Anakin: Hey! You don’t have to out me in front of everyone…

 

Ben: I’m just gonna help with the wall, and then I’m done with all of you.

 

Han: That’s fair.

 

Han: I might join you.

 

Ben:

 

Kaydel:

 

Armitage:

 

Armitage: Then I suppose I should join you just to be careful.

 

Cara: I’m heading to my room, color time!

 

Evaan: ...is everyone just ignoring the RAGING FIRE?!

 

Din: Assistance has arrived.

 

Din: I found a hose in Fennec’s storage compartments.

 

Din: Step aside, amateurs.

 

Cara: …

 

Cara: din really just walked up here with a huge hose and said ‘splish splash, bxtches’

 

Din: Objection, I stopped cursing after I adopted the child.

 

Din: For the most part.

 

Anakin: NOOOOO YOU’RE WATERLOGGING MY COOKIES-

 

Rey: I think we’ve all decided to value our safety and continued lodging over your cookies.

 

Fennec: That’s debatable, I’m hungry.

 

Evaan: I...I have an orange…

 

Fennec: M A G I C F R U I T

 

Kaydel: A L L H A I L

 

Quinlan: Oh, not again-

 

Echo: nobody ever say that word again, ever

 

Echo: I’ve had enough of the color orange to last quite a few lifetimes.

 

Quinlan: Well you’re gonna hate it here because Evaan has an orange addiction.

 

Evaan: It’s not an addiction! I can stop at any time!

 

Quinlan: You brought one with you on a TEN MINUTE TRIP

 

Evaan: Only cause I knew you idiots were gonna mess something up and inevitably make the the trip last a LOT longer.

 

Quinlan: ...fair.

 

Han: Bold of you to assume you're not one of said idiots.

 

Evaan: Oh I most definitely am, just slightly less so than, say...you.

 

Evaan: Actually no, I’m a lot less of an idiot than you, but you get the point.

 

Din: So the fires are basically out...and the government had the foresight to fireproof everything, which is smart considering

everything we get up to…

 

Din: The base is actually pretty much fine, minus the fact that it’s slightly scorched.

 

Din: Also, the kitchen in the guys’ compound did not survive.

 

Anakin: YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED, DEAR KITCHEN

 

Ben: oh no

 

Armitage: ‘oh no’????? ‘oh no’ what????

 

Ben: just wait

 

Rey: Did you just pull a RECORDER out of your-

 

Anakin: YOOOOOOOOU’RE HERE

 

Anakin: THERE’S NOOOOOTHING I FEAR

 

Anakin: AND I KNOOOW THAT MY HEART WILL GO OOOOOOON

 

Anakin: WEEEEEE’LL STAYYY FOREVER THIS WAY

 

Anakin: YOU ARE SAFE IN MY HEART AND

 

Anakin: MY HEART WILL GO ON AND OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN

 

Echo: And we’re just...not gonna question that….?

 

Leia: So I definitely didn’t get my musical talent from my paternal side.

 

Rey: I dunno...the fact that Anakin managed to conceal an entire recorder in his clothing is quite impressive.

 

Leia: Rey, that’s prowess in thievery, not music.

 

Han: too many big words

 

Han: do not compute

 

Ben: So apparently Leia’s not the only one who got no genes from their father.

 

Armitage: Debatable, you’re both varying levels of stupidity.

 

Fennec: Alright, we get it. He’s an idiot, you’re an idiot, we’re all idiots. Let’s just go inside.

 

Fennec: i wanna eat cookies

Chapter 32: the return of ahsoka...

Chapter Text

Rey: Hi it’s Anakin.

 

Padmé: Oh no. What did he do now?

 

Rey: No, it’s Anakin. I stole Rey’s phone.

 

Padmé: Oh no. What did you do now?

 

Rey: Okay hi it’s Rey. I stole the phone back, and I’m hiding in my new room.

 

Padmé: ...new room? Oh no.

 

Rey: uh-

 

Padmé: Please tell me Evaan didn’t start one of those sorority things she was talking about-

 

Rey: Haha no, don’t worry, that hasn’t happened yet! 😅

 

Padmé: Ok good. So why are you texting me while I’m at work?

 

Rey: I have been elected to tell you some big, life-changing news. Per usual.

 

Padmé: Ok. Hit me.

 

Rey: So we made an emergency trip to the hardware store, for...reasons.

 

Padmé: wHAT DID YOU BREAK?!

 

Rey: We didn’t break anything!!! 

 

Rey: Cara needed...stuff.

 

Rey: Paint samples.

 

Padmé: You made an emergency trip to a hardware store for Cara to steal paint samples?

 

Rey: ...yes.

 

Padmé: Ok, what’s the big news then?

 

Padmé: Because there’s no way it ended there.

 

Rey: so we kind of like adopted people

 

Padmé: Why am I not surprised.

 

Rey: Anakin ran into some old friends. They call themselves the Bad Batch?

 

Padmé: Oh them! Yea, we know them. They’re cool.

 

Padmé: So we adopted them?

 

Rey: Yea, basically.

 

Padmé: What about sleeping arrangements?

 

Rey: ...those are being figured out.

 

Padmé: ohhhhhhhhh no

 

Rey: The vote has you roomed with Anakin.

 

Rey: Cara and Fennec are sharing with Kaydel and Zorii.

 

Rey: Jyn and Cassian got paired up, Maul and Obi-Wan somehow ended up in the same room, but Ezra will be sharing with them to make sure nobody dies...Mitaka’s sharing with Finn and Poe...and Leia and Evaan and Jannah and Asajj are sharing a room, so you may have to worry about that sorority thing.

 

Padmé: Wait wait wait, that’s wayyyy more shared rooms than the batch needs.

 

Rey: Yea, but a lot of people needed excuses to sleep with other people, so…

 

Padmé: Maul and Obi-Wan and Ezra???

 

Rey: No, that was just the voting pool being sadistic. I think.

 

Rey: Din’s considering moving in with them to make sure nothing gets too out of control, but I think he’s gonna end up next to Cara’s room with Luke, cause she and Fennec are...a lot.

 

Rey: You’re welcome, by the way. Evaan was considering recruiting you into her girl power team thing. I vouched for you and Anakin.

 

Padmé: thank the force

 

Padmé: Evaan can be scary

 

Padmé: Should I expect any other unexpected chaos when I get home?

 

Rey: ...yes. Yes, you should.

 

Rey left the chat

 

***

 

Fennec: GUYS COME CHECK OUT THE KITCHEN

 

Quinlan: please tell me the cookies did not survive that fire

 

Fennec: THEY DIDN’T BUT I FOUND SOME BOXED MAC N’ CHEESE

 

Evaan: Ooh! Who wants lunch?

 

Din: ….We have no way of cooking the Mac n’ Cheese.

 

Fennec: Who said we were cooking it?

 

Din: ...you know what, i’m done. i’ve made my helpful contributions to the group for today. i’m going to go hide in my room and question what my life has become.

 

Jyn: HONEY I’M HOME

 

Kaydel: W-what-

 

Ezra: We have recovered the bird!

 

Kaydel: B-bird???

 

Ezra: ...Morai went missing, remember? During the TED Talk?

 

Din: i have seen things no mortal should be forced to see

 

Din: they had a rap battle on top of washing machines

 

Din: i forgot the bird even existed

 

Evaan: I forgot you guys existed. We’ve been busy.

 

Leia: Han managed to get kicked out of the hardware store. But we did get the wall!

 

Leia: Oh yeah, and we adopted more people.

 

Ezra: MORE?

 

Tech: Hello

 

Hunter: Hey

 

Wrecker: Hi?

 

Rose: We have enough rooms in the compounds to fit them, right?

 

Rey: ...we’re figuring that one out.

 

Rose: should i be terrified

 

Anakin: very

 

Cassian: Do we get a say in these sleeping arrangements?

 

Anakin: Sort of.

 

Cassian: So no?

 

Anakin: So no.

 

Jyn: Hey guys where should we put Morai?

 

Jyn: I’m not exactly interested in invoking the wrath of Ahsoka today.

 

Ben: I think Ahsoka’s in the same room she already uses.

 

Evaan: Yea nobody wants to share with Morai

 

Rose: Stop insulting the bird, she can hear you 🥲

 

Evaan: ...nice.

 

Ezra: Guys Ahsoka is gonna be home in like five minutes and I can’t remember where her room is

 

Fennec: t h i s   i s   t h e   w a y 

 

Din: ...i am done with all of you

 

Asajj: Nobody speaks a word of this to Ashoka, understood?

 

Jyn: Aye aye, captain

 

Leia: GUYS AHSOKA’S HOME

 

Ezra: ADKSHFADSKJFDSAJKLFD DISTRACT HER

 

Ezra: WE CAN’T GET THE BIRD CAGE OPEN

 

Cara: YOU’RE GONNA DIE

 

Ezra: I KNOW I KNOW STOP YELLING

 

Cara: I WAS TALKING TO DIN, HE’S HELPING ME PUT THE COLORS ON MY WALL

 

Cara: HE ALMOST FELL OFF THE BED

 

Cara: *He almost fell off the bed (caps lock haha)

 

Ahsoka hey guys i’m home

 

Ahsoka: Today was CRAZY

 

Ben: ...you don’t say.

 

Cassian: Same here, Ahsoka. Same here.

 

Ahsoka: I’m guessing it’s Anakin’s fault this place looks crispy?

 

Ahsoka: The outside, at least. Apparently they planned ahead and fireproofed the whole place.

 

Ahsoka: Probably smart, considering the things we do.

 

Ezra: They should’ve thought even farther ahead and soundproofed the room everyone uses for karaoke 😩

 

Fennec: How dare you-

 

Anakin: *whispers* they should’ve thought even farther ahead than that and sprayed insect repellent in obi-wan’s room

 

Obi-Wan: *whispers* spiders aren’t insects

 

Anakin: *whisper-yells* yes they are!

 

Obi-Wan: *whispers* no they’re not, they’re arachnids

 

Kaydel: *normal speaking voice* Know thy enemy.

 

Ahsoka: So what did you guys do all day while I was gone?

 

Din: they adopted more people and we took a trip to the hardware store after fennec broke the wall and anakin tried baking cookies

 

Ahsoka: Ahhhh, so that’s why the entire exterior of the compounds is crispy.

 

Ahsoka: Anything else? You guys look really out of breath.

 

Ahsoka: well, at least some of you do

 

Rose: …

 

Jyn: …

 

Mitaka: ….

 

Ezra: O_o

 

Ezra: We were just running around a lot today

 

Ahsoka: Nice.

 

Ahsoka: Padmé texted and said she’ll be home soon, Imma go check on Morai

 

Cassian: …

 

Poe: …

 

Asajj: …

 

Ahsoka: ...why are you all staring?

 

Ahsoka: did somebody go in my room without permission?

 

Ezra: N-No!

 

Ahsoka: …

 

Ezra: It...has been a very long day.

 

Armitage: understatement of the day but anyway-

Chapter 33: coherent titles are for beings who aren’t transcending this universe and timeline

Notes:

coherent titles are for beings who aren’t transcending this universe and timeline. Also, there’s no one defining goal in this chapter aside from making you smile or laugh :)

Welcoming in the new year with some good old-fashioned Star Wars chaos. Hopefully 2022 brings nowhere near as much property damage and need for a caf.

Chapter Text

Padmé: Honey, I’m home!

 

Anakin: Hey Padmé! We missed you!

 

Leia: Hi mom

 

Cara: I don’t recall us as being on ‘honey’ terms, but I’m gonna respond to this message anyway

 

Jyn: Is this some sort of trick?

 

Armitage: Hello Padmé. You missed out on quite an interesting day.

 

Hunter: Oh, hey Padmé. Long time no see!

 

Asajj: Are we just not gonna talk about the honey thing?

 

Ezra: I mean we all know she’s referring to Anakin

 

Asajj: Fair, fair.

 

Padmé: Honestly I just wanted to see how all of you would react.

 

Padmé: So...would anyone like to explain why the compounds look like Fennec’s attempt at making a microwave pizza?

 

Fennec: in my defense, i had no idea i set the microwave for three hours

 

Evaan: …

 

Din: I think your boyfriend knows the answer to that question.

 

Evaan: I’m single

 

Din: no not your boyfriend-

 

Fennec: I’m gay

 

Din: NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND EITHER

 

Din: I’M TALKING ABOUT ANAKIN

 

Padmé: Anakin...what did you do now???

 

Anakin: I made cookies :)

 

Padmé: And all of you...just thought that was a good idea? To let him make cookies unsupervised?

 

Ben: I mean he wasn’t entirely unsupervised, we did try to stop him… he just doesn’t listen

 

Evaan: it definitely runs in the family

 

Armitage: ...I will neither confirm nor deny this statement.

 

Armitage: But also oh yes, it most definitely does.

 

Mitaka: Well, have fun in the afterlife

 

Din: i HEAR LIGHTSABERS

 

Din: STOP WITH THE LIGHTSABERS

 

Leia: What about me?

 

Din: you can have a lightsaber, you’re nice

 

Leia: :D

 

Fennec: Padmé, wanna see our construction project?

 

Padmé: not if you’re excited about it

 

Padmé: everything you’re excited about terrifies me

 

Cara: As it should.

 

Quinlan: We...kind of broke down one of the walls with the bus.

 

Padmé: How do you KIND OF break down a wall???

 

Ahsoka: You should see it. It’s a mess.

 

Ahsoka: Also, I think Morai has learned how to pick locks. The lock on her cage was broken open, so just be warned… she may be able to beak into your rooms.

 

Ahsoka: *break into your rooms.

 

Cara: nah i liked beak better

 

Ezra: So...about the wall...it’s...a look.

 

Wrecker: I think it’s stylish!

 

Ezra: I wouldn’t go that far, but it’s nice to see that someone has confidence in our abilities.

 

Padmé: ….WHAT did you do?!

 

Padmé: I leave ONE day for a couple of hours to go to work to prove we can be functioning members of society….

 

Asajj: I don’t think we can be functioning members of society.

 

Padmé: EVIDENTLY

 

Ben: sorry padmé

 

Padmé: How did you even break the wall?!

 

Fennec: Well, you see…

 

Anakin: Fennec crashed her modified bus through the wall while I was making cookies.

 

Padmé: And how did you even fix the wall?!

 

Rey: We really didn’t.

 

Cassian: Yeah a bunch of the force-using people just kind of lifted it into place and we kind of shaved off some of the extra sections until it fit into the hole.

 

Cassian: Now it’s held together by random rubble from the first wall, Flex Seal that Wrecker stole, and a lot of hope.

 

Jyn: Walls are built on hope.

 

Din: Pretty sure walls are built on good planning and strong materials but ok we’ll get a rain check on that one

 

Rey: I think somebody stuck Anakin’s recorder in there too

 

Anakin: WAIT WHAT

 

Anakin: WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING

 

Leia:

 

Leia: ...not me, obviously

 

Padmé: I am...stunned.

 

Padmé: And never hiring any of you for a construction job.

 

Cara: A little insulting, but fair.

 

Ahsoka: I don’t think we should leave them home alone any more.

 

Padmé: It’s fine they have Din.

 

Ahsoka: Din isn’t working

 

Din: please help me

 

Din: i have fallen into the glue

 

Armitage: What glue?

 

Cara: We’re glueing the colors to the walls!

 

Cara: But Din just fell into it.

 

Cara: He slipped on all the paint samples on the floor.

 

Padmé: Din isn’t working

 

Din: h e l p

 

Poe: He’s fallen down and he can’t get up

 

Jyn: As riveting as this discussion is, it has come to my attention that somebody got asked out today.

 

Jyn: WHOMST.

 

Ahsoka: you guys do nothing for weeks, and then the day i finally get a job and leave the compounds, there’s all this drama

 

Quinlan: You had the option to go on the Area 51 road trip! You just didn’t want to!

 

Ahsoka: oh yeah.

 

Padmé: Wait wait wait, who’s dating and should I be afraid?

 

Armitage: Cara asked Fennec out. Very smoothly.

 

Anakin: Ehhhh….

 

Armitage: look that’s your fault because you’re the one who interrupted cara’s proposal

 

Jyn: So Shand and Dune are dating now?

 

Fennec: Well first date, but yea.

 

Anakin: Wait wait wait.

 

Anakin: Shand? Dune?

 

Anakin: Shand...Dune

 

Anakin: SAND DUNE

 

Din: WHY DID I JUST HEAR A LIGHTSABER IGNITE

 

Din: also SOMEBODY HELP, I’M STILL STUCK AND CARA ISN’T DOING ANYTHING

 

Rey: *sighs* I’ll be there in a minute.

 

Rey: Cara, please don’t stick Din to the wall in the meantime.

 

Cara: ...what if i said it was too late for that

 

Din: That was the first thing she did.

 

Cara: I let you keep your phone though!

 

Rey: ...i need a caf

 

Padmé: i need multiple cafs

 

Rey: Yes but I’ve been doing this all day.

 

Padmé: i’ve been stressing about leaving you idiots home alone since i got my job

 

Rey: date night?

 

Padmé: date night.

 

Padmé: Until then...I’ll go find glue remover. There’s gotta be one around here somewhere.

 

Fennec: I can drive you to a utility store to go pick some up?

 

Din: NO

 

Ben: Please don’t.

 

Ezra: That doesn’t seem like a good idea.

 

Anakin: I CALL SHOTGUN

 

Padmé: NO. I am not leaving these compounds unsupervised again.

 

Padmé: Especially if Din is stuck to a wall.

 

Leia: I found some glue remover in the refrigerator.

 

Ahsoka: ...I’m not even going to ask.

Chapter 34: ghosts, tape, refrigerators, and other everyday occurrences

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Padmé: Who has the glue remover?

 

Leia: It’s on the kitchen table

 

Leia: Or….what used to be the kitchen table.

 

Tech: It’s actually still mostly intact.

 

Tech: Keyword being mostly.

 

Ezra: ANAKIN NO GIVE IT BACK

 

Padmé: ...I really don’t want to ask this, but what now?

 

Rose: Anakin has the glue remover.

 

Rose: Lightsabers are being drawn.

 

Obi-Wan: IT’S OVER ANAKIN

 

Obi-Wan: I HATE THE HIGH GROUND

 

Fennec: yea i hate it too, sometimes it’s just the worst isn’t it?

 

Obi-Wan: I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND

 

Obi-Wan: HAND OVER THE GLUE REMOVER

 

Anakin: NO

 

Din: I HEARD SOMETHING CRASH, WHO BROKE WHAT

 

Tech: Your mostly intact kitchen table is no longer intact.

 

Din: …

 

Quinlan: You ok, Master Kenobi?

 

Obi-Wan: this is fine

 

Quinlan: Oh, ok. Well, in that case...back to retrieving the glue remover!

 

Fennec: the glue noper

 

Asajj: Yes. The glue noper.

 

Din: DON’T DESTROY ANY MORE WALLS

 

Din: PLEASE

 

Maul: Well do you have any ideas for getting the glue nope?

 

Padmé: just threaten him or seduce him or something

 

Cara: s-seduce?

 

Cara: i mean ok, but-

 

Cara: Seduce? 😏

 

Cara: NO WRONG EMOJI

 

Cara: *Seduce? 🤨

 

Padmé: *secure him

 

Armitage: Secure him where?

 

Armitage: Nowhere in the compounds is secure as long as we’re here

 

Fennec: THE REFRIGERATOR

 

Fennec: SECURE ANAKIN TO THE REFRIGERATOR

 

Padmé: PREFERABLY INTACT

 

Maul: Anakin, or the refrigerator?

 

Padmé: A N A K I N

 

Asajj: Sorry, no promises!

 

Rey: Should we...go down there?

 

Padmé: I’m a little scared to

 

Ben: Don’t come down here, they’ve found the duct tape

 

Poe: How? I found an excellent place to hide it!

 

Mitaka: You put it behind the fake plant in the girls' compound bathroom.

 

Poe: An EXCELLENT hiding spot!

 

Poe: wait how did you know

 

Mitaka: magic

 

Poe: Ugh. Well at least you guys don’t know where I hid the Flex Seal!

 

Padmé: The what-

 

Ben: You put it in the ceiling panel in the kitchen. Above the coffee machine.

 

Poe: …

 

Ben: wait

 

Ben: oh no

 

Fennec: Tahnk!

 

Fennec: what the-

 

Fennec: *Thanks!

 

Jyn: I HAVE ACQUIRED THE FLEX SEAL

 

Ben: kriff

 

Jyn: FLEX SEAL ANAKIN TO THE REFRIGERATOR

 

Padmé: WE ARE NOT GLUEING ANOTHER PERSON TO ANY PART OF THIS COMPOUND

 

Jyn: oh

 

Jyn: sorry

 

Cara: TO THE BOYS’ COMPOUND!!!!

 

Padmé: nO THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT

 

Hunter: I like it here!

 

Rey: now we should probably stop them

 

Din: I hear war chanting

 

Din: Don’t go down there or you guys will end up glued to the wall

 

Padmé: I...really need a caf

 

Mitaka: They’re carrying Anakin to the boys’ compound, and Cara has started a chant

 

Ben: I think this has gone beyond retrieving the glue remover.

 

Din: So...how about you just try pulling me off the wall again?

 

Din: Looks like I’m gonna be here for a loooong time…

 

Cassian: Ok can I please have the glue remover?

 

Jyn: NOT UNTIL WE PRY IT FROM ANAKIN’S COLD DEAD HANDS

 

Anakin: NO LET’S NOT DO THAT

 

Cassian: jyn no

 

Jyn: jyn yes

 

Cassian: jyn no

 

Jyn: ...fine. jyn no.

 

Cassian: :)

 

Padmé: Guys, I said keep Anakin intact!!!

 

Fennec: To be fair, you never said he had to be alive. Just intact.

 

Ahsoka: ...well she has a point

 

Wrecker: He still hasn’t given up the glue nope.

 

Wrecker: Impressive.

 

Ahsoka: Yeah, I don’t think he’s gonna last much longer.

 

Kaydel: Who’s better at taking the heat- Anakin, or the cookies?

 

Din: Every morning I wake up and beg for a normal day. Just one normal day.

 

Din: And then you guys go and say things like this.

 

Ahsoka: Here’s another one for you. Which is more destructive- Anakin, or the cookies?

 

Anakin: I CAN STILL READ YOUR TEXTS YOU KNOW

 

Kaydel: Just trust me when I say Anakin.

 

Ahsoka: I dunno, the cookies have so far resulted in us adopting the Bad Batch, Din being glued to a wall, Obi-Wan breaking a table and injuring himself, Anakin being duct taped to the refrigerator, don’t even get me started on the wall you guys smashed and then miraculously patched back together…

 

Kaydel: trust me. i am from the future.

 

Ahsoka: …

 

Rey: Somebody. Please. Glue remover.

 

Rey: You know what, I’m going down there.

 

Padmé: I would join you but they’re still war chanting and that’s never a good sign.

 

Hunter: Don’t come down here, it’s too crowded

 

Poe: I will gladly leave the room if you would like to take my place.

 

Ben: Come join us in the other room

 

Ben: The one with the wall we just rebuilt

 

Poe: Sure, who’s us?

 

Ben: myself and the ghosts that never leave 🙂

 

Rey: oh my god not again

 

Rey: shut up about the ghosts

 

Poe:

 

Poe: you know what, maybe i’ll stay here and watch them glue anakin to the fridge

 

Rey: it’s fine poe the ghosts are actually quite nice

 

Ezra: Poe you won’t even be able to see them, you’re not force-sensitive.

 

Ezra: I think

 

Poe: You think I won’t be able to see them or you think I’m not force-sensitive?

 

Rey: Can somebody please just make up their mind and leave the room?

 

Poe: Fine. But if I see ONE ghost, I’m leaving.

 

Ben: Logically speaking, there’s more ghosts in the kitchen than in the repaired wall room, since most of the people there are dead in our time.

 

Poe: stop making the situation worse i really don’t want to think about that

 

Rey: Oh my god Padmé you’re right. This was a mistake.

 

Padmé: Status report?

 

Rey: Anakin is sufficiently stuck to the fridge, but everyone is ignoring that and continuing to add more tape. And Flex Seal.

 

Rey: Oi! Everybody move!

 

Din: They’re not listening, are they?

 

Rey: Not at all

 

Rey: ALL OF YOU

 

Rey: M O V E    I T

 

Cassian: she threw the phone

 

Maul: And it hurt!

 

Anakin: well. this is nice.

 

Anakin: she screamed and threw the phone and it hit maul and now everyone finally shut up :)

 

Anakin: but i’m still stuck to the fridge, so that’s no fun

 

Rey: Anakin, hand over the glue remover.

 

Anakin: Over my dead body.

 

Rey: If you insist.

 

Padmé: INTACT

 

Rey: I’M JUST GONNA KILL HIM, HE’LL STILL BE INTACT

 

Ahsoka: nothing kills the mood like somebody throwing a phone and threatening murder

 

Din: nothing kills the mood like getting glued to the wall

 

Poe: nothing kills the mood like knowing you’re surrounded by ghosts

 

Ben: I mean… I’m alive.

 

Poe: you’re writing emo poetry in the corner or whatever

 

Poe: close enough

 

Fennec: Wait, lady.

 

Rey: Me?

 

Fennec: Yea

 

Rey: ...ok?

 

Fennec: If you take the glue nope and go unstick Din from the wall, we can keep Anakin stuck to the fridge, right?

 

Rey: Uh… I’m gonna phone a friend for that one.

 

Anakin: NO!

 

Jyn: Quiet, peasant.

 

Padmé: Well...we can’t exactly stop you, but I’ll let it slide as long as Anakin has been removed from the fridge by sunset. Deal?

 

Fennec: We have a deal.

 

Rey: ok really anticlimactic here but i’m just gonna take the glue remover and head out

 

Rey: bye

 

Fennec: Bye! Pleasure doing business with you!

 

Ezra: See you later!

 

Maul: please don’t throw your phone at me again

 

Asajj: Bye :D

 

Finn: Good luck getting Din off the wall

 

Padmé: Rey- status report?

 

Rey: the glue remover has been acquired, your majesty

 

Padmé: 😭 y’all find yourself a girl who treats you like a queen

 

Ben: …

 

Ben: sorry she’s taken

 

Rey: sorry i'm taken 🤗

 

Padmé: ( ✿˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )

 

Jyn: We get it Padmé, you’re a hot mess

 

Asajj: emphasis on hot

 

Quinlan: I-I’m right here-

 

Asajj: yes, and?

 

Mitaka: 💀

 

Armitage: Here lies Quinlan and Asajj’s relationship, brutally murdered by Padmé Amidala’s attractiveness

 

Evaan: What?

 

Armitage: I’m not saying I find her attractive, I’m just saying- you know what, no. I’m done. I have seen things no mortal should have to see. I experienced a singing battle on top of washing machines. Somebody stuck my hat AND my left shoe into the wall we supposedly fixed. I’m done. I will be joining the crew in the ghost room.

 

Tech: Well. That was needlessly extensive.

 

Armitage: thanks

 

Din: Guys...I’m still here...and I’m still stuck to the wall…

 

Padmé: oh yeah sorry

 

Rey: I’m getting there, keep your helmet on

 

Rey: The whole ‘parading Anakin to the guys compound to stick him to the fridge’ thing left a path of destruction

 

Din: …

 

Rey: Ok mainly just a lot of blankets lying around, I don’t really know why, or where they found the blankets

 

Din: Please just come get me down. I have had more than enough chaos for today.

 

Cassian: I think even Fennec and Cara are starting to get tired of causing chaos.

 

Fennec: We have a system, Cassian. Chaos, clean up so Padmé and Din don’t kill us, rest, and repeat!

Notes:

Anakin has become refrigerator art, Padmé is a bisexual mess, Ben sees dead people, Din has fallen up and he can’t get down, and Fennec’s got this whole thing down to a science 😂

Chapter 35: What to do when the Chosen One is glued to your fridge?

Notes:

Thank you to MySombreroisAlsoaGun for your awesome input + character analyzations (is that the correct word for them?), and thank you to INXSRAILFAN for creating an amazing soundtrack! Y’all inspired a lot of what goes down in this chapter, hopefully you enjoy it!

Chapter Text

Din: Help me ༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

 

Padmé: I’m still reading the instructions.

 

Rey: I think we just pour it all over Din.

 

Anakin: How many more hours until sunset?

 

Jyn: Not enough.

 

Ben: Around three

 

Anakin: i’m very bored

 

Padmé: Ok yeah I think we just pour the glue remover on Din.

 

Rey: you really didn’t have to spend twenty minutes reading the directions

 

Padmé: I just wanted to be sure!

 

Din: please just get me down

 

Rey: Ok, this is gonna be awkward.

 

Rey: How did Cara even manage to stick you that high up?

 

Din: She’s Cara.

 

Rey: fair

 

Ahsoka: So...what are we gonna do with the three hours we have before we have to take Anakin off the refrigerator?

 

Fennec: …

 

Fennec: get the sand.

 

Anakin: NO WE ARE NOT GETTING THE SAD

 

Anakin: SAND

 

Cara: You get the sand, I’ll get the sad

 

Ezra: Where’s the sad?

 

Poe: ...somebody get Padmé

 

Padmé: No, I’m busy.

 

Rey: It’s fine, I can get Din off the wall

 

Padmé: no i need an excuse not to go down there

 

Cara: we need another source of sad

 

Asajj: …

 

Jyn: …

 

Maul: ...

 

Armitage: I’ve got an idea

 

Ben: oh no

 

Armitage: I’ve got an idea 😈

 

Rose: where is everyone?

 

Cassian: sleeping or cleaning up

 

Cassian: With the exception of a small group searching for ‘sand’ and ‘sad’

 

Cassian: Wait where are you?

 

Rose: Making a sandwich. Girls compound kitchen.

 

Din: Status report, they have managed to dislodge one of my arms from the wall.

 

Din: This is a very undignified process

 

Rey: well we don’t have much choice, unless you want us to leave you here until the glue gets weaker and you fall off

 

Din: I wasn’t complaining, I'm just saying this is very awkward.

 

Armitage: I HAVE ACQUIRED THE SAD

 

Ben: i’m going to end you

 

Din: STOP WITH THE LIGHTSABERS

 

Din: JUST STOP WITH THE LIGHTSABERS

 

Din: P L E A S E

 

Rose: What did you do now? I’m staying in the kitchen where it’s mildly safe.

 

Ben: give it back, hux

 

Armitage: No it’s mine now

 

Padmé: I’m very confused, what’s going on?

 

Cara: No one knows

 

Poe: hugs just walked in and stole the notebook ben was writing in

 

Poe: and i think it just started a war

 

Fennec: well i found sand so

 

Fennec: what should i do with it

 

Ben: Throw it at Hux-

 

Armitage: No let’s not do that-

 

Fennec: TOO LATE-

 

Armitage: OW

 

Ben: he stole my notebook and my line

 

Ben: this is just getting insulting

 

Mitaka: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

 

Padmé: now i really don’t wanna go down there

 

Din: same

 

Din: I would like to get down from the wall, I just don’t want to go down there and deal with… *gestures vaguely at everyone downstairs*

 

Rey: Understandable.

 

Armitage: PLEASE STOP THROWING SAND AT ME

 

Fennec: Too bad, I have a whole bag full of it

 

Armitage: WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET A BAG OF SAND

 

Cara: half the people in the compounds are asleep right now

 

Cara: and then there’s these four.

 

Obi-Wan: Who’s the fourth?

 

Cara: What?

 

Obi-Wan: I count Armitage, Ben, and Fennec. Poe is technically sitting and watching, but he doesn’t count.

 

Cara: oh ok

 

Cara: do you want to be the fourth

 

Obi-Wan: do i have a choice

 

Cara: not at all

 

Obi-Wan: The chaos goddess has demanded I take part in this epic quest to find sand and sad

 

Fennec: We already have both, I’m just throwing sand at Armitage and Ben is trying to get his emo poetry book back

 

Obi-Wan: oh

 

Obi-Wan: well then can i help throw sand at anakin

 

Fennec: Sure

 

Obi-Wan: i have waited to do this for so long

 

Armitage: Look, how about a deal?

 

Obi-Wan: What?

 

Armitage: No, not you- FENNEC WOULD YOU STOP THROWING SAND FOR ONE KRIFFING MINUTE

 

Fennec: NO

 

Armitage: O N E     M I N U T E

 

Fennec: ...fine. but i’m counting. your minute starts now.

 

Armitage: Ben, you let me throw the book at Anakin and maybe tape it to him until sunset. And then I’ll give you the book back.

 

Ben: ...deal.

 

Ben: but no one opens the book, and you give it to me the second the sun goes down

 

Armitage: Deal

 

Obi-Wan: Crisis averted

 

Fennec: ONE MINUTE’S UP, I’M THROWING SAND

 

Padmé: And who’s cleaning up this sand afterward?

 

Fennec: me probably

 

Jyn: WAIT

 

Jyn: I wanna make a sand angel first

 

Ezra: YES

 

Padmé: Okay, Jyn and Ezra can make one quick sand angel each, and then Fennec is cleaning up the sand.

 

Rey: where is everyone, this chat has gone virtually silent

 

Rey: also the compound is silent and that’s a bit terrifying

 

Rey: it usually means someone’s plotting

 

Cara: Everyone’s sleeping or moving their clothes and stuff into their new sleeping arrangements.

 

Rey: Ah. That’s a relief.

 

Din: Status update- I am now only mostly stuck to the wall. My arms, legs, and head are free.

 

Cara: I’m surprised you’ve stayed up there that long.

 

Jyn: i’m very much in awe of you

 

Jyn: please teach me how to glue people to walls with that much precision and accuracy

 

Cara: sure, i’ll do a TED Talk like fennec did

 

Cassian: Please don’t. I don’t think the compounds could handle another one.

 

Cassian: Also I don’t wish to be glued to a wall

 

Jyn: I wouldn’t glue you to a wall

 

Cassian: Yes, but somebody eventually would.

 

Anakin: help

 

Anakin: they’re here 😫

 

Anakin: FENNEC NO

 

Fennec: FENNEC YES

 

Padmé: I TOLD YOU GUYS TO KEEP HIM INTACT

 

Ben: She’s pouring sand on his head

 

Padmé: somebody please hide all the lightsabers

 

Maul: On it!

 

Padmé: somebody responsible please hide all the lightsabers

 

Maul:

 

Quinlan: On it.

 

Din: GUYS

 

Din: I’M FREE

 

Anakin: I’M NOT

 

Armitage: b a l a n c e

 

Fennec: Nice touch

 

Armitage: Thanks

 

Obi-Wan: They’ve balanced the poetry book on Anakin’s head

 

Din: I HAVE ESCAPED THE WALL

 

Din: THANK YOU PADMÉ AND REY

 

Rey: lol no problem

 

Padmé: you gave me an excuse to avoid the refrigerator glue war party

 

Din: You guys have no idea how good it feels to be on solid ground again

 

Rey: believe me i do

 

Rey: being stuck in midair is the worst

 

Padmé: ok that has some terrifying implications but we’re ignoring it for now because din is free

 

Anakin: Somebody please save meeeeee 😫

 

Obi-Wan: Isn’t this technically child endangerment?

 

Poe: Isn’t Anakin 22?

 

Obi-Wan: older than 22 but he doesn’t act like it

 

Cara: It’s man-child endangerment, I don’t think that’s a crime if it’s Anakin

Chapter 36: Sunset approaches...and Chaos on a Time Limit

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Anakin: GUYS IT’S SUNSET

 

Anakin: LET ME DOWN YOU DEMONS

 

Fennec: oNLY WHEN THE QUEEN MOTHER ORDERS IT

 

Fennec: I TRUST HER JUDGEMENT MORE THAN YOURS

 

Padmé: You have four minutes.

 

Cara: ooh pretty sunset

 

Ezra: Where is everyone?

 

Rose: rey’s making a sandwich and we’re watching her

 

Cassian: everyone else is still sleeping or hiding somewhere to play cards

 

Poe: oh and luke and din are showering

 

Ezra: in the same shower???

 

Poe: idk go ask them

 

Ezra:

 

Poe: honestly i ship it

 

Rose: Agreed

 

Evaan: Hmm...maybe?

 

Padmé: Four minutes…

 

Fennec: I want to do something but I don’t know what

 

Fennec: People in the kitchen, any ideas?

 

Poe: We’re busy watching Rey make a sandwich.

 

Poe: Oh and Evaan is dying her hair and Rose and I are considering it.

 

Fennec: hair dye

 

Fennec: poe you’re a genius

 

Poe: ...Thanks? I mean, I know. But idk what I just started-

 

Jyn: I like where this is going.

 

Jyn: HEY KITCHEN PEOPLE

 

Rey: WHAT

 

Rey: oh that was a mistake.

 

Rey: can someone with clean hands please help me get the weird yellow sauce off my phone screen?

 

Maul: Sure

 

Rey: thx

 

Jyn: KITCHEN PEOPLE

 

Hunter: WHAT

 

Jyn: WE NEED TO BORROW YOUR HAIR DYE

 

Fennec: PREFERABLY QUICKLY, HE WAVE LKE THEREE MINUTS

 

Cassian: …

 

Cara: she said ‘we have three minutes’

 

Cassian: Oh, then yes. What colors do you need?

 

Anakin: oh no

 

Anakin: nO NO NONO NO I JUST REALIZED WHERE THIS IS GOING

 

Ben: took you long enough

 

Fennec: HOT PINK, NEON ORANGE, AND/OR PURPLE

 

Evaan: WE ONLY HAVE PINK, PURPLE, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, AND WHITE

 

Padmé: wait i want to see this go down

 

Anakin: NO SOMEBODY STOP HER

 

Rey: guys keep the hair dye away from the sandwich please

 

Obi-Wan: so you’ll draw the line at hair dye but not oranges?

 

Rey: Oranges are good!

 

Obi-Wan: not on a sandwich

 

Obi-Wan: with MUSTARD

 

Rey: i don’t know what any of these things are called aside from bread and oranges so you’re gonna have to specify

 

Obi-Wan: the yellow sauce

 

Rey: But the yellow sauce tastes good!

 

Obi-Wan: not on a sandwich

 

Obi-Wan: with ORANGES

 

Rey: i don’t really see what’s wrong with it???

 

Poe: A lot of things are wrong with it, but this is entertaining so I won’t stop you.

 

Jyn: PADMÉ WHAT’S OUR TIME LIMIT

 

Padmé: uh

 

Padmé: I DON’T KNOW I WALKED AWAY FROM THE WINDOW TO SEE THE HAIR DYE AND THE SANDWICH

 

Jyn: NO TIME LIMIT YAY

 

Anakin: NO PLEASE TELL THEM THEY’RE OVER THE TIME LIMIT

 

Anakin: THEY LISTEN TO YOU

 

Fennec: ANAKIN WHAT COLOR HAIR DYE DO YOU WANT

 

Anakin: NONE

 

Fennec: HE SAID PINK AND YELLOW

 

Anakin: NO

 

Jyn: PINK AND YELLOW IT IS

 

Cara: DIN YOU USELESS MANDALORIAN GET OUT OF THE SHOWER AND COME SEE THIS

 

Leia: why is there screaming

 

Leia: i just wanted to sleep

 

Leia: and next thing i know

 

Leia: i wake up and hear people chanting ‘yellow’

 

Rey: I want to follow Fennec and Jyn to see the hair dye thing but I also don’t want someone to steal my sandwich.

 

Maul: I can assure you that no one here is going to want to steal your sandwich.

 

Din: WHAT HAPPENED I WAS SHOWERING

 

Poe: WERE YOU SHOWERING WITH LUKE

 

Din: WHAT

 

Poe: YES OR NO

 

Din: PREFER NOT TO ANSWER

 

Poe: YES OR NOW

 

Din: DECLINE TO COMMENT

 

Poe: SO YES

 

Poe: EZRA, OBI-WAN YOU GUYS OWE ME TEN CREDITS

 

Din: I SAID NO COMMENT

 

Poe: LUKE

 

Luke: yeah?

 

Poe: WERE YOU AND DIN SHOWERING TOGETHER

 

Luke: uh

 

Luke: maybe

 

Poe: TEN CREDITS

 

Ezra: I’M BROKE THO

 

Evaan: THEN WHY WERE YOU BETTING

 

Rose: YOU GUYS WERE BETTING?

 

Cassian: please stop screaming

 

Rose: Sorry.

 

Poe: They still owe me ten credits though.

 

Padmé: Guys, one minute to sunset!

 

Ben: please don’t get hair dye on my notebook

 

Fennec: Don’t worry, I’m an expert at this.

 

Anakin: you’re texting and dyeing my hair at the same time

 

Fennec: because i’m an expert at this

 

Evaan: this is amazing

 

Evaan: but i am gonna need the yellow back cause poe wanted to use it

 

Padmé: you guys better be done soon…

 

Jyn: Anakin stop moving

 

Anakin: n e v e r

 

Rose: Doesn’t the dye have to stay in for half an hour to an hour?

 

Jyn: ...Yes, but we can just barricade the bathrooms and sinks and all that

 

Evaan: …

 

Wrecker: so this kind of stuff happens often?

 

Cassian: This is the first time it’s included hair dye...but yes

 

Wrecker: awesome

 

Padmé: THIRTY SECONDS

 

Fennec: ALMOST DONE

 

Jyn: WAIT HOW ARE WE GETTING ANAKIN OFF THE REFRIGERATOR

 

Padmé: I DON’T KNOW, THAT’S YOUR PROBLEM

 

Padmé: YOU PUT HIM UP THERE, YOU GET HIM DOWN

 

Maul: Does this mean the refrigerator is gonna have yellow and pink hair dye on it?

 

Jyn: A little bit

 

Padmé: TEN SECONDS

 

Fennec: AKDFSLKJDFSSJLKFSLJKFSJKL

 

Anakin: end my misery

 

Padmé: TIME’S UP

 

Cara: That was a thrilling conclusion to Anakin’s refrigerator captivity.

 

Jyn: That was amazing.

 

Anakin: I hate all of you.

 

Cara: Don’t worry, it’ll wear off the next time we do something stupid.

 

Fennec: You’re going to have some excellent pink and yellow streaks in your hair

 

Anakin: This stuff doesn’t last forever, right?

 

Fennec: uhh…

 

Evaan: Nah, this stuff washes out after a few weeks. It’s semi-permanent.

 

Poe: Ok, after we get Anakin down….can you help me dye some of my hair?

 

Evaan: Yea ofc

 

Evaan: Same goes for anyone who wants dyed hair.

 

Fennec: Oooh this seems fun.

 

Padmé: Maybe I’ll dye my hair… we should probably find out how to get Anakin off the fridge first.

 

Anakin: Yes. Yes we should.

Notes:

I know virtually nothing about how hair dye works, everything in this chapter was based off of a wikihow on hair dyeing, so if you saw anything out of place, please let me know! Other than that, hope y’all are doing well and enjoying life- may the force be with you!

Chapter 37: braids, brids, and a demonic sandwich

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Din: ...Rey, Padmé, where did you guys put the glue remover?

 

Padmé: Probably upstairs somewhere.

 

Padmé: We left it in Cara’s room, but things in the compounds have the tendency to teleport.

 

Armitage: I think that’s just Cara.

 

Rose: Rey, please tell me you’re not going to eat that sandwich…

 

Rey: Why not?

 

Maul: Usually I’m all for being creative with food but this is disturbing.

 

Rey: It’s just a sandwich.

 

Obi-Wan: You put oranges, mustard, and macaroni on it.

 

Rey: Yep :)

 

Obi-Wan: So there’s something called ‘socially acceptable’ and when you make food that is socially acceptable, that’s a good thing. The sandwich is not socially acceptable.

 

Rey: Ok more for me.

 

Obi-Wan: That’s not what I meant-

 

Anakin: Guys, we should take another field trip sometime.

 

Jyn: After what happened on the last one?

 

Anakin: The last one was fun!

 

Fennec: We certainly made memories to last a lifetime.

 

Han: yes. yes we did.

 

Poe: Are you still not over that?

 

Han: NOT REALLY, NO.

 

Evaan: Poe, I’m almost done with Rose’s hair if you wanna get over here.

 

Evaan: A line has begun to form for hair dye.

 

Luke: Leia, do you think I could pull off blue hair?

 

Leia: no. definitely not.

 

Luke: Aww…

 

Zorii: Do you think I could pull off hair dye?

 

Poe: How are we supposed to know, you always keep your helmet on…

 

Evaan: Ok Rose, you’re good to go

 

Rose: Thanks Evaan :D

 

Evaan: Poe, you ready?

 

Poe: Sure, why not?

 

Luke: Rey please don’t eat that sandwich.

 

Rey: what do all of you have against my sandwich

 

Rey: none of you are socially acceptable, why should my food be?

 

Tech: She does have a point.

 

Luke: Ok then, eat the sandwich I guess-

 

Hunter: Can I try some?

 

Rey: …

 

Rey: Fine.

 

Anakin: Honestly though, I think we should take another field trip.

 

Fennec: I do need an excuse to test out the bus’s new modifications…

 

Quinlan: What happened to your date with Cara?

 

Cara: Anakin was taped to a refrigerator so we gave it a rain check.

 

Quinlan: Fair.

 

Ezra: I’m just gonna leave that room until the sandwich is gone.

 

Echo: I might join you but I’m also morbidly curious.

 

Hunter: Come on, it won’t be that bad…

 

Rey: It tastes good!

 

Armitage: Wait actually?

 

Hunter: Let me try…

 

Hunter: Eh… It’s not BAD… it’s just also not good.

 

Armitage: Can I try some?

 

Rey: …

 

Armitage: Come on, I let you pet my cat!

 

Rey: fine.

 

Quinlan: Are we all just gonna try Rey’s sandwich now?

 

Rey: No. Just those two.

 

Armitage oh i regret that-

 

Armitage: Hunter, Rey, your taste buds are broken.

 

Rey: more for me 😊

 

Jyn: You know what, Anakin? I agree. We need some more chaos.

 

Padmé: I really don’t think we need any more.

 

Jyn: Not right now, obviously.

 

Padmé: at this rate none of you are going to be allowed out of the compounds

 

Cassian: I don’t see that stopping anyone.

 

Padmé: Neither do I, but it’s nice to pretend that there’s some sort of law here.

 

Fennec: They still haven’t come after us for the fire.

 

Ben: yeah it really makes you wonder what the rest of the country is like

 

Ahsoka: From what I’ve seen so far, a bunch of aliens displaced from time setting fire to their government-sanctioned compound isn’t actually that bad in the grand scheme of things.

 

Ahsoka: I work at a food business dictated by a giant clown.

 

Cara: So… Anakin?

 

Asajj: Anakin’s too short.

 

Anakin: Anakin’s right here-

 

Maul: K E N O BI

 

Maul: *K E N O B I

 

Obi-Wan: what

 

Maul: WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE TOILET PAPER IN THE GUYS’ COMPOUND BATHROOM

 

Obi-Wan: honestly, i have no idea.

 

Maul: IF YOU USE THE LAST OF THE TOILET PAPER, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE IT FOR THE NEXT PERSON

 

Obi-Wan: OH, SORRY

 

Maul: YEAH YOU’D BETTER BE

 

Quinlan: I’ve seen some great battles in my day, but that was by far the most intense duel Obi-Wan and Maul have had to this day.

 

Din: Can someone help me pull Anakin off the wall?

 

Wrecker: Sure, why not?

 

Din: Okay, so I’m gonna pour the glue remover on him, and then we both pull.

 

Din: I got as much duct tape off as possible, but they used some sort of extra-strength glue as well.

 

Fennec: FLEX SEAL

 

Cara: OUR SAVIOR

 

Anakin: help me

 

Din: I’m working on it.

 

Leia: whAT WAS THAT?

 

Poe: did anyone else just hear a crash

 

Rey: Mhmm

 

Quinlan: That was Anakin, wasn’t it?

 

Wrecker: SORRY GENERAL SKYWALKER

 

Din: sorry anakin

 

Din: won’t happen again

 

Din: unless you manage to get yourself glued to a fridge again

 

Anakin: ow

 

Fennec: ow...o?

 

Anakin: o w

 

Fennec: owo

 

Anakin: ow

 

Fennec: uwu

 

Finn: Fennec, are you okay?

 

Fennec: Absolutely not.

 

Anakin: i just fell off the refrigerator. and you’re asking her. if she’s okay.

 

Ezra: Well we already know you’re not okay.

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: just don’t glue me to the fridge ever again, please

 

Kaydel: Are you guys seriously still awake???

 

Din: Yes???

 

Kaydel: It’s almost midnight.

 

Din: im sorry it’s WHAT

 

Din: i will promptly be running upstairs and faceplanting in bed, good night to all of you heathens

 

Evaan: G’night Din!

 

Evaan: ok who here is willing to stay up past midnight to get their hair dyed?

 

Evaan: I can do a few more and then I’m going to sleep.

 

Fennec: Can you just do a pink streak in my hair?

 

Evaan: Yeah but you’re gonna have to unbraid it.

 

Fennec: Uh… that might take a while-

 

Cara: I can help!

 

Fennec: 🥰 thanks

 

Leia:

 

Ben: …

 

Leia: 😶

 

Hunter: I feel like I’m missing something.

 

Asajj: Some brain cells?

 

Hunter: No, I already know I’m missing those.

 

Leia: *whispers* she’s alderaanian

 

Hunter: *whispers back* fennec?

 

Leia: *still whispering* no, cara

 

Hunter: *slightly confused whisper* okay, so?

 

Rey: *munches popcorn* where is this even going

 

Poe: Where did you find popcorn?

 

Rey: It’s in the sandwich.

 

Poe: ...I miss not knowing that.

 

Leia: braids are important

 

Leia: especially if someone takes someone else’s braids out

 

Leia: it’s something very intimate

 

Fennec: aww cara 🥰

 

Cara: 😌

 

Rey:

 

Rey: …

 

Hunter: Well now I feel like I’m missing something else.

 

Rey: w h a t

 

Rose: ???

 

Rey: I have let you braid my hair

 

Rey: for MONTHS

 

Ben: I thought you knew!

 

Rey: No???

 

Rey: Is that why everyone kept giving me strange looks???

 

Padmé: *munches popcorn*

 

Padmé: *actual popcorn, not sandwich popcorn

 

Poe: thank the force

 

Ben: oh kriff is she angry

 

Ben: should i hide

 

Padmé: Hate to interrupt, but Din requested a lightsaber curfew, so you’re not allowed to ignite lightsabers from 10pm to 6am, so no lightsabers. No blasters, either.

 

Rose: she’s not gonna ignite a lightsaber

 

Rose: she’s just standing there

 

Fennec: Ok Evaan can you dye my hair real quick?

 

Fennec: i put my phone down for five minutes and now rey is crying and padme is eating popcorn

 

Fennec: Padmé I thought you hated popcorn

 

Padmé: I do, but it fits the scene.

 

Armitage: wait happy crying, sad crying, or angry crying

 

Rey: yes.

 

Armitage

 

Rey: confused crying but also happy crying maybe???

 

Cassian: We should put a sleeping curfew into place.

 

Padmé: Nobody would follow it, though.

 

Cassian: Okay, but an ‘everyone-in-bed-by-a-certain-time’ curfew couldn’t hurt

 

Leia: It would mostly just keep up the illusion of law, not actually do anything.

 

Cassian: i know but evaan is dyeing peoples’ hair, obi-wan and maul are still arguing over toilet paper, cara was just trying to be a nice girlfriend and it somehow sparked a not-quite-argument, and it’s midnight

 

Leia: Past midnight, actually.

 

Ahsoka: ALRIGHT LISTEN UP YOU LITTLE MISCREANTS

 

Ahsoka: YOU BETTER AT LEAST BE IN YOUR ROOMS IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES OR I’M LETTING MORAI LOOSE ON YOU

 

Ezra: I’m sorry, are you threatening us with a brid

 

Cara: b r i d

 

Padmé: I see you’re all still awake enough to make spelling jokes

 

Fennec: ma’am, are you threatening us with a brid

 

Ahsoka: indeed i am threatening you with a brid

 

Hunter: two can play this game, i see

 

Ahsoka: DON’T MAKE ME GET MY BRID HUNTER

 

Ahsoka: ALL OF YOU SLEEP NOW

 

Padmé: i have never seen a crowd of people scatter faster

 

Padmé: Ahsoka, can I borrow your bird trick sometime?

 

Ahsoka: Please do. I would love to see you bring a bird into the Senate chamber and threaten everyone with it.

Notes:

I have recently discovered the lovely mess that is Duolingo’s social media accounts... more specifically, a friend has acquainted me with the Duolingo TikTok. Would anyone be interested in seeing a field trip to the Duolingo headquarters to meet the Duolingo owl?

Also, if anyone has any requests (anything you want to see- characters, settings, situations, anything else you can think of), please let me know in the comments and I’ll see what I can do! (I may or may not be able to work in many more characters permanently, due to the sheer amount of characters already here, but they can definitely show up for a few chapters or a story arc)

Chapter 38: get in loser, we’re going to the duolingo headquarters

Chapter Text

Anakin: We’re going on a field trip today.

 

Asajj: Oh, because the field trip gods have declared it. Of course.

 

Ahsoka: Don’t give him any ideas…

 

Anakin: Like the excellent travel agent I am, I have planned out our trip already.

 

Anakin: mostly

 

Han: Wherever it is, I’m not going.

 

Fennec: Oh, just come with us. It can’t get worse than last time for you.

 

Han: that’s what i thought before the last trip

 

Fennec: What’s worse than learning your cause of death?

 

Armitage: wait does he still not know

 

Kaydel: not know what?

 

Armitage: who

 

Kaydel: who what?

 

Armitage: who his cause of death was

 

Kaydel: no

 

Armitage: …

 

Armitage: I mean we’re not even trying to keep it a secret. This is just embarrassing.

 

Kaydel: i think we all just introduced ourselves by our first name when we got here and nobody’s actually taken different last names into account ever since

 

Kaydel: with the exclusion of anakin and luke and leia, but when anakin’s involved he’s always the exception

 

Padmé: As riveting as this discussion is, I have to go to work. Enjoy your trip but don’t get us arrested because I’m not breaking you out.

 

Echo: That’s fair.

 

Din: ...So where are we going this time?

 

Cara: Why do you always act like we’re dragging you into these things unwillingly?

 

Din: Because you are. Somebody has to come with you to make sure nobody dies.

 

Din: This can be proven with the itinerary from our last trip, in which you nearly threw Rey off a moving bus, almost killed a government agent, and obviously the whole thing with Han.

 

Han: Who has not forgiven any of you.

 

Rey: We know.

 

Din: Seriously though, where are we going?

 

Anakin: Drumroll please…

 

Cassian:

 

Evaan:

 

Tech:

 

Anakin: wow ok complete silence alright then

 

Anakin: THE DUOLINGO HEADQUARTERS

 

Ezra:

 

Poe:

 

Leia: I’m sorry the what

 

Anakin: it’s this building overlorded by this huge green bird that teaches you languages

 

Rey: We’re going to learn language from a bird?

 

Ahsoka: yeah im heading to work

 

Ahsoka: dont sacrifice my bird to the language bird, thanks

 

Anakin: We’ll try not to, no promises.

 

Ahsoka: Yes promises.

 

Anakin: Well…

 

Ahsoka: (◣_◢)

 

Anakin: no sacrificing morai to the bird overlord

 

Fennec: SIN UP SHERTS AE IN THE KITHXEN

 

Din: …

 

Fennec: SIGN UP SHEETS ARE IN THE KITCHEN

 

Fennec: i swear im not usually this bad at spelling. you guys are demolishing my ability to spell.

 

Din: Well you’re demolishing my mental stability so we’re at a stalemate.

 

Poe: Oh no, our mental stability! It’s broken!

 

Cara: ...Kids these days and their ridiculous humor.

 

Zorii: Cara, you glued someone to the wall.

 

Poe: Oh no, our humor! It’s broken!

 

Zorii: Poe, you’re really not helping the situation.

 

Fennec: HEY YOU GUYS BETTER SIGN UP SOON, WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF BUS SPACE

 

Cara: Have you considered sitting people on the top?

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: no, but now i am

 

Fennec: HEY GUYS NO NEED TO SIGN UP, WE’RE SEATING PEOPLE ON TOP NOW

 

Leia: I’m almost afraid to ask, but is that safe?

 

Cara: Absolutely not.

 

Quinlan: Sounds great, I’m in

 

Fennec: Evaan, you’re in charge of packing snacks!

 

Evaan: o r a n g e s

 

Fennec: Cara, get the weapons!

 

Hunter: Wait, weapons?

 

Cara: Obviously.

 

Armitage: How long is this trip gonna take?

 

Anakin: About 2 days if we drive the whole time, and about four hours if we fly.

 

Hunter: Oh.

 

Hunter: I guess we can’t go then, if it’s gonna take 2 days. We have to be back by tonight, right?

 

Fennec: Okay, taking into consideration the power of the rocket boosters and the size of the vehicle, I think I could shave the time down to three hours?

 

Anakin: awesome

 

Hunter: wait, you guys have a ship?

 

Obi-Wan: Of course not. Where would we keep it?

 

Hunter: how are we supposed to fly then-

 

Obi-Wan: Fennec modified her bus.

 

Hunter:

 

Tech: That bus is definitely not suited for flight.

 

Ezra: Oh, we know.

 

Ezra: But Anakin will be in the bus-plane, so we don’t need to worry about natural law.

 

Ezra: If nobody from the future comes back to stop you, then how bad of a decision can it be?

 

Rey:

 

Rey: funny story about that

 

Han: NO

 

Han: NO MORE OF YOU FUTURE PEOPLE MAKING THINGS WORSE

 

Zorii: YOU ASKED FOR IT

 

Han: NOT ABOUT DYING JUST ABOUT HOW BAD THINGS GET

 

Zorii: DYING KIND OF TOPS THE LIST

 

Anakin: GUYS CAN YOU JUST SIGN UP FOR THE TRIP AND FINISH THIS ARGUMENT IN THE CAR

 

Anakin: BUS

 

Anakin: PLANE

 

Anakin: WHATEVER THAT NIGHTMARE VEHICLE IS

 

Leia: Are we actually putting people on the roof?

 

Fennec: I was, but then I realized it’s air travel and not land travel, and I’m still working out the kinks when it comes to air travel on top of a modified bus.

 

Cassian: Someone has the duct tape, right?

 

Jyn: Yeah, I put it next to the bag of sand.

 

Cara: SHOTGUN

 

Anakin: Aw, come on!

 

Cara: No, it’s mine now 😈

 

Kaydel: why the devil face???

 

Cassian: Evaan, you packed food other than oranges, right?

 

Evaan: There’s some macaroni in there somewhere.

 

Mitaka: Is everyone in the compounds coming?

 

Fennec: Everyone except for Han.

 

Ben: …

 

Han: No.

 

Han: I’m not coming.

 

Ben: ok good

 

Jyn: No, you’re coming with us.

 

Han: No.

 

Jyn: Too bad.

 

Ben: I don’t think this is a good idea.

 

Poe: could we make this any more obvious

 

Poe: how has nobody guessed

 

Rey: probably because all of us share one (1) brain cell

 

Fennec: GET IN THE BUS

 

Din: WE ARE IN THE BUS

 

Fennec: I WAS TALKING TO HAN

 

Han: NEVER

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: jyn

 

Jyn: On it.

 

Han: ???

 

Cassian: where did padmé put the popcorn

 

Han: nO

 

Han: I AM NOT COMING TO THE BIRD BUILDING WITH YOU

 

Han: JYN STOP

 

Jyn: no 🙂

 

Han: SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP HER

 

Tech: This is mildly entertaining. I like it here.

 

Cara: Good.

 

Han: JYN STOP DRAGGING ME

 

Jyn: DEAL WITH IT

 

Jyn: CASSIAN I NEED THE DUCT TAPE

 

Han: THIS CAN’T BE LEGAL

 

Anakin: NOTHING HERE IS LEGAL

 

Anakin: ALSO PADMÉ TOLD ME NOT TO LEAVE YOU HOME ALONE SO YOU HAVE NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER

 

Rey: Well. Somebody is going to die.

 

Mitaka: Of fun?

 

Rey: no, i think somebody is genuinely going to die.

 

Mitaka: Oh.

 

Din: im beginning to guess who han’s murderer is and this road trip is gonna be a mess

 

Fennec: QUIET, IM TRYING TO REMEMBER HOW TO TAKE OFF

 

Obi-Wan: Oh, we’re definitely going to die.

Notes:

Edit: I just want you guys to know that this chapter has forever turned me into “that person who knows the distance from area 51 to pittsburgh” socially. Also it’s probably terrified whatever government agent has to wrangle my search history, but it’s a bit late to save that one.

Chapter 39: according to all known laws of aviation...

Notes:

🎵On the upside of a downward spiral🎵 ...this chapter was created. Apologies for taking so long to finish this chapter, it’s been a busy month 😅 We’ll see what April has in store, but expect updates to come once a week-ish?

Chapter Text

Fennec: Can I just say that I’m genuinely surprised we’ve stayed in the air this long.

 

Maul: Please don’t.

 

Maul: It hasn’t even been fifteen minutes.

 

Fennec: Exactly! Much longer than I expected!

 

Din:

 

Din: i’m going to die surrounded by idiots

 

Din: they’re going to find my body and think i had the same amount of brain cells as all of you

 

Din: somebody save me

 

Ben: Not even the force can save us now.

 

Poe: Easy for you to say, you were always beyond saving.

 

Jyn: *whispers* shots fired-

 

Leia: OKAY how about we play a game before this gets too heated?

 

Leia: There’s not exactly room for a lightsaber fight.

 

Quinlan: What about another burrito duel?

 

Poe: ...i’m down for a burrito duel

 

Leia: That’s not what I meant-

 

Cara: GUYS I’VE GOT A GREAT GAME

 

Leia: ALSO NOT WHAT I MEANT-

 

Anakin: Hmmm...is this a chaotic game?

 

Cara: If we make it a chaotic game, it is.

 

Obi-Wan: ...So then it’s a chaotic game.

 

Cassian: Sounds like a horrible idea. I’m in.

 

Cara: Time for a thrilling game of…

 

Cara: WHOSE FAMILY IS THE MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Rey:

 

Hunter:

 

Anakin: Why is everybody looking at me?

 

Fennec: ...i wonder why.

 

Anakin: Fennec please stop staring at me.

 

Anakin: FENNEC EYES ON THE SKIES OR WE’RE GONNA DIES

 

Echo: See, and this is why we’re all looking at you.

 

Mitaka: He has a point.

 

Cara: I don’t want to brag but my parents died on Alderaan.

 

Jyn: *whispers* s h o t s   f i r e d

 

Cassian: Jyn get off the sidelines, you could 100% win this

 

Rey: Are we actually doing this???

 

Cara: Apparently.

 

Tech: The Bad Batch is modified and discarded clones.

 

Hunter: Dysfunctional family? You decide.

 

Cara: Absolutely that counts as a dysfunctional family.

 

Han: Do I even need to say it?

 

Anakin: Well no but at the same time please do.

 

Han: My child stabs me. I think my family wins for most dysfunctional.

 

Quinlan: Maybe you’re just like...a really bad parent.

 

Din: Can’t believe I’m joining in on this mess, but I have a dysfunctional family AND a dysfunctional found family. Beat that.

 

Rey: Well...I guess my parents left me on a desert planet when I was a kid?

 

Armitage: ...You guess.

 

Jyn: I’m just waiting for the perfect moment to unleash my sob story.

 

Asajj: All of my sisters are dead.

 

Cassian: my whole family and found family is dead

 

Fennec: Is the point of the game to have the most disturbing backstory or the worst current familial situation?

 

Cara: Great question.

 

Jyn: My mom was shot in front of me when I was seven and my father went to work for the Empire and build a planet-killing weapon immediately after she died.

 

Tech: This game escalated quickly.

 

Tech: Does anyone know where we can locate some tissues?

 

Fennec: Evaan was in charge of packing them.

 

Evaan: I was? I thought I was just in charge of snacks!

 

Fennec:

 

Poe: Don’t worry, I brought tissues

 

Poe: I figured someone would need them after everything that happened last time

 

Poe: also my mom is dead and most of my friends are dead but i actually have it pretty good, i have Finn and Rey and Rose and everyone

 

Maul: i don’t actually have a dysfunctional family but now that everyone’s talking about their families i really miss my brother :(

 

Obi-Wan: You have family?

 

Maul: I- yeah?

 

Obi-Wan: I HAD YOU PEGGED AS AN ONLY CHILD

 

Obi-Wan: AHSOKA AND I WERE BETTING ON IT

 

Anakin: YOU GUYS WERE BETTING WITHOUT ME

 

Obi-Wan: WE LEAVE YOU OUT OF A LOT MORE THAN YOU THINK

 

Anakin:

 

Rey: pass the tissues?

 

Ezra: yeah gimme a sec

 

Anakin: So should I share my family story, or…?

 

Din: I think we can all agree that the Skywalkers win this game.

 

Poe: Definitely.

 

Han: Yeah

 

Echo: Three different generations just agreed on something. Anakin really does defy all known laws of logic.

 

Luke: I’m a Skywalker and I can confirm this.

 

Ben: I’m a Skywalker and I can confirm this.

 

Anakin: I’m Anakin and I can confirm this.

 

Quinlan: I’m a person with at least half a brain cell and I can confirm this.

 

Cassian: I’m supposed to be dead because of Skywalkers and I can confirm this.

 

Obi-Wan: I’m sorry, you’re what now

 

Zorii: THE WALKING DEAD

 

Asajj: YES

 

Obi-Wan: WHY ARE THE DEAD WALKING

 

Ben: because the dead don’t go away

 

Ben: they follow you around for eternity

 

Obi-Wan: SOMEONE WHO ISN’T A GENERALLY SCARY PERSON, WHY ARE THE DEAD WALKING

 

Leia: Force ghosts?

 

Obi-Wan: I SAID SOMEONE WHO’S NOT SCARY

 

Leia:

 

Jyn: i sense a disturbance in the force

 

Jyn: someone’s about to die

 

Ezra: If this bus goes down, I just want you all to know that this was a horrible idea and I love it.

 

Fennec: Why is everyone crying or fighting?

 

Din: We definitely shouldn’t have played Cara’s game.

 

Cara: yeah everyone’s crying

 

Cara: i mean that’s usually what happens

 

Cara: but still, everyone’s crying

 

Evaan: Padmé is our singular emotional support source.

 

Evaan: or at least our single actually helpful emotional support source

 

Ezra: Yeah the rest of the time is everyone just crying and holding onto each other

 

Armitage: i think that’s just our collective fear of this bus plummeting a couple thousand meters and killing us all on impact

 

Ezra: Well that too

 

Tech: How exactly DID you secure the wings on?

 

Fennec: Bold of you to assume they’re even remotely secure.

 

Din:

 

Din: Well, it’s been nice knowing you guys.

Chapter 40: Another Happy Landing

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Cassian: Are we there yet?

 

Fennec: I thought you were some sort of master spy.

 

Cassian: I am.

 

Fennec: Then you think you’d know about PATIENCE

 

Cassian:

 

Jyn: Hey, I’m the only one who’s allowed to make fun of him >:(

 

Din: Fennec, don’t poke the rancor.

 

Anakin: Yeah Fennec don’t poke the rancor.

 

Din: You be quiet. You’re the reason we got into this mess in the first place.

 

Anakin: You guys agreed to the trip!!!

 

Din: Not the trip, the whole getting stuck in the compounds.

 

Anakin: I have no idea how we got to this planet Earth place.

 

Din: yes but you are related to most of the people here. meaning you are in part responsible for us being stuck here. if you didn’t have children or adopt clones or go around making sith enemies then none of us would be here.

 

Anakin: Okay, but is any of that MY fault?

 

Anakin: you want me to just sit around and let the sith take over?

 

Ben: I’m sorry but are you insinuating that it’s not your fault that you had children

 

Anakin: insinu-what now?

 

Zorii: this is hopeless

 

Jyn: Finally, one of you understands.

 

Fennec: HEY GUYS WE’RE LANDING SOON

 

Fennec: AND BY LANDING I MEAN WE’RE DESCENDING AND HOPING WE DON’T END UP SMEARED ON A ROAD OR IMPALED BY A BUILDING OR SOMETHING

 

Poe: Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

 

Ezra: Are you sure we’ll be walking away from this one?

 

Tech: The chances of us dying are unfortunately moderately high.

 

Tech: so yes we will probably end up a smear on a road but maybe we will get very lucky and survive

 

Fennec: ALL OF YOU QUIET, I NEED TO CONCENTRATE

 

Anakin: pass the duct tape

 

Rey: w-why?

 

Anakin: I want a seat belt

 

Rey:

 

Hunter: I say we sacrifice the travel agent!

 

Anakin: Hey wait, I’m the travel agent!

 

Han: Exactly.

 

Evaan: WE’RE GOING DOWN

 

Fennec: WE’RE NOT GOING DOWN, I HAVE EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL WE ARE PERFECTLY FINE

 

Din: PLEASE GET OFF YOUR DEVICE AND FLY THIS THING

 

Rey: we’regonnadiewe’regonnadiewe’regonnadie

 

Jyn: you know i’m starting to think dying on Scarif would’ve been a better idea

 

Fennec: GUYS IT’S FINE IT WAS A SHORT DROP

 

Fennec: I HAVE THINGS UNDER CONTROL NOW

 

Fennec: STOP ACTING LIKE IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD

 

Asajj: We just feel twenty meters

 

Quinlan: We just fell twenty meters because the wings almost tore off

 

Tech: This might not be the best time, but I’ve figured out a way to optimize the flight capabilities of the bus without compromising the safety of the passengers or the wings themselves.

 

Armitage: i say we let him modify the bus next time

 

Din: oh definitely

 

Wrecker: You should see what he’s done with our ship…

 

Fennec: CAN WE USE THE DUCT TAPE TO FIX THE SHIP

 

Jyn: WE’RE GONNA DIE

 

Fennec: SHHHHH

 

Poe: Everyone hold on to something!

 

Fennec: I have this under control. I have this under control. This is perfectly under control. We are not going to die.

 

Din: EVEN THE RAZOR CREST WASN’T THIS BAD

 

Cara: EXACTLY

 

Fennec: IT’S FINE THERE’S EMERGENCY ROCKET BOOSTERS

 

Quinlan: HOW DO WE KNOW THOSE AREN’T BROKEN???

 

Fennec:

 

Poe: hope is like the sun. if you only believe in it when you see it, you’ll never make it through the night.

 

Ben: What I’m getting from that is that Fennec’s rocket boosters are the sun, I don’t see them, and there’s no way we’re making it through this landing.

 

Poe: not what i meant but i can’t argue with any of that

 

Maul: Nothing demolishes the boundaries between the dark side and the light side like a good old fashioned bus-plane crash

 

Evaan: HOLY FORCE EVERYBODY BRACE YOURSELVES

 

Anakin: JHADSHGADSHDSGAHJGAGHADSGHSDJAJSD

 

Anakin: oh hey look we’re alive

 

Fennec: really?

 

Anakin: five fingers, ten toes… perfect condition

 

Leia: i’m sorry did you say five fingers-

 

Leia: i hate to break it to you, but

 

Leia: that’s not perfect condition

 

Anakin: I mean I didn’t count the robotic hand, so technically yes ten fingers, just five organic ones :)

 

Luke: You have a robot hand too?

 

Anakin: Yeah, you?

 

Luke: Yeah!

 

Anakin: I’m proud of you, my son.

 

Leia: Must be a Skywalker guys thing

 

Armitage:

 

Rey:

 

Rose:

 

Ben: oh

 

Anakin: Alright, if everyone's intact, everyone out of the bus! Time to begin our exploration of the Duolingo headquarters!

 

Cassian: We almost died

 

Anakin: But we didn’t!

 

Cassian: we almost died

 

Anakin : but we didn’t

 

Anakin: Come on, somebody back me up!

 

Obi-Wan: Anakin, my allegiance is to general safety, to sanity!

 

Anakin: …

 

Anakin: If you are not with me

 

Anakin: Then you are getting dragged along like Han, sorry master

 

Obi-Wan: okAY, EVERYONE OUT OF THE BUS

 

Asajj: Not much of a bus anymore, is it?

 

Tech: I’d like to stay behind to perform the necessary repairs to this bus-plane of yours.

 

Tech: Otherwise we will be stuck with no way back to the compounds.

 

Cara: Well there’s always stealing

 

Cara: *borrowing for an undetermined amount of time

 

Din: i thought we agreed to stop doing that

 

Cara: Really? Well I didn’t.

 

Anakin: Sure, Tech stay behind. Anyone else?

 

Rose: Sure, I’d like to get a look at the modifications Fennec made.

 

Mitaka: I can stay back and help.

 

Ezra: I can stay…I probably won’t be much help, but give me a job and I can do it.

 

Han: I’ll stay too

 

Anakin: No, you’re coming with us

 

Han: No way

 

Anakin: What if Ezra’s your son?

 

Han:

 

Ezra: um

 

Ezra: no thank you

 

Asajj: One of you needs to just stab him already and get this whole thing over with

 

Han:

 

Cara: Aaaaaaaand, time to go find the Duolingo headquarters!

 

Din: Anakin, you know where this thing is, right?

 

Anakin: About that

 

Din: R i g h t ?

 

Anakin: We’ll see.

 

Anakin: Just follow me.

 

Anakin: I can find a map somewhere.

 

Jyn: So… I guess we’re playing follow-the-idiot?

 

Zorii: Guess so.

 

Zorii: And Ben, please try not to lose a hand.

 

Zorii: This trip’s already cursed enough.

Notes:

Apparently “we’re gonna die” is Jyn’s catchphrase now. It is unclear whether that’s because she always assumes the worst so she isn’t let down or because she and her chaos squadron always seems to end up in life-threatening situations.

Chapter 41: “Which Direction is North?”, “How Many People Can We Fit in an Elevator?”, and other fun games to play with friends

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Din: I think we are officially completely lost.

 

Anakin: No, I know exactly where we are.

 

Anakin: Duolingo headquarters should be right over…there

 

Asajj: That is a clothing store.

 

Anakin: uh….there!

 

Obi-Wan: That’s a diner.

 

Anakin: There?

 

Rey: Oooh, flowers!

 

Anakin: um. there???

 

Cassian: Book store.

 

Cara: Keep going, eventually you have to get it right.

 

Din: How about we go find a map?

 

Anakin: Where’s the fun in that?

 

Zorii: In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s been raining for the past ten minutes, and we’ve been wandering around the city for the past twenty.

 

Fennec: yeah let’s grab a map before din starts rusting

 

Din:

 

Din: I am right here and I have working ears.

 

Fennec: Good for you.

 

Leia: Okay, according to the map that we should’ve picked up twenty minutes ago, it’s two streets over.

 

Jyn: Why didn’t we do this from the beginning?

 

Leia: Ask Anakin.

 

Jyn: With a weapon?

 

Leia: I mean… I won’t stop you.

 

Anakin: Please don’t ask Anakin with a weapon-

 

Din: well would you look at that, we’re here-

 

Anakin: WELCOME… TO THE DUOLINGO HEADQUARTERS!!!!

 

Wrecker: people are staring now

 

Quinlan: people were already staring

 

Cassian: We probably should’ve put more effort into blending in with Earth fashions.

 

Anakin: Where’s the fun in that?

 

Rey: Do we have to go inside? It’s raining out…

 

Din:

 

Echo:

 

Asajj:

 

Poe: Yes, that was a serious question

 

Poe: You get used to it after a while.

 

Anakin: No, you’re coming with us.

 

Rey: ok fine :(

 

Anakin: Din, I’m guessing that map doesn’t show the inside of the Duolingo headquarters?

 

Din: it’s…a street map…

 

Anakin: What?

 

Din: It’s not a building map…

 

Anakin: So… I guess no one knows where we’re going?

 

Obi-Wan: Then you are lost!

 

Obi-Wan: Seriously, we’re very lost. I don’t think we should be here.

 

Anakin: Of course we should be here.

 

Poe: Just smile and wave, everyone. Smile and wave.

 

Poe: Jyn, stop smiling. You look like someone is holding you at gunpoint.

 

Jyn: oh okay gimme a second

 

Poe: Jyn, I said stop. Now you look like you’re holding someone at gunpoint.

 

Jyn: alright im done

 

Poe: Thank you.

 

Anakin: ONWARDS, AS I LEAD US TO VICTORY!!!

 

Ben: i think we left victory behind a long time ago

 

Evaan: Any chance you could lead us to a bathroom?

 

Quinlan: Well now that you mention it…

 

Anakin: I REFUSE TO BE STOPPED BY SOMETHING AS TRIVIAL AS A BATHROOM BREAK

 

Quinlan: Divide and conquer?

 

Din: I’m not leaving a group of you alone unsupervised.

 

Anakin: …Fine. Quick bathroom break.

 

Evaan: Where’s the bathrooms?

 

Zorii: go ask the pretty lady over at the desk

 

Evaan: nooooo no talk to people

 

Zorii: pretty

 

Zorii: p r e t t y

 

Kaydel: ◕︵◕

 

Zorii: wdym “◕︵◕”, she’s obviously not as pretty as you <3

 

Din: Everyone here is so smooth and then there’s Anakin “I Hate Sand” Skywalker

 

Maul: What can you say? It’s Anakin.

 

Anakin: THE SAND WAS ONE TIME, CAN YOU GUYS JUST LET IT GO

 

Evaan: LET IT GO

 

Evaan: LET IT GOOOOOOOOOO

 

Jyn: CAN’T HOLD IT BACK ANYMOREEEE

 

Jyn: LET IT GO, LET IT GOOOOOOO

 

Jyn: TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR

 

Poe: did you really have to start singing out loud?

 

Jyn: Yes.

 

Cara: Bathrooms are on the fourth floor.

 

Anakin: EVERYONE

 

Anakin: TO THE ELEVATORS

 

Rey: oh not again

 

Din: last time i was in an elevator, i had a severed head with me

 

Maul: Is that a threat?

 

Din: No, it was a statement of fact. My life is a mess.

 

Cassian: *casually moves away from Din*

 

Obi-Wan: Please stop stepping on my feet.

 

Cassian: Sorry, there’s too many people in here.

 

Leia: Maybe we should make a rational decision for once and split up into multiple elevators…

 

Fennec: Where’s the fun in that?

 

Fennec: whoever just pulled my braid is going to die

 

Fennec: It’s fun being crammed in an elevator together!

 

Anakin: Come on, we still have to fit four more people. 

 

Cara: Everyone pretend you like each other!

 

Obi-Wan: This is most uncivilized.

 

Cara: Hmm…

 

Cara: Luke, get on Din’s shoulders.

 

Din: That’s not going to end well for either of us-

 

Cara: Fine, get on Din’s back.

 

Luke: I-

 

Cara: Stop pretending you guys aren’t head over heels already

 

Din: We’re not??? Where did that come from??

 

Cara: …just stop denying it and let luke get on your back.

 

Fennec: I think we can fit people on top…

 

Jyn: EVERYONE SUCK IN YOUR STOMACH AND DON’T BREATHE

 

Luke: Fennec’s braid is tickling my nose 😭

 

Fennec: i swear by the force, if you sneeze on me i will end you

 

Anakin: Okay, that’s everyone!

 

Anakin: …who can reach the buttons?

 

Poe: I SEE THE LIGHT

 

Poe: wait no i can only reach the top half

 

Poe: Who can get to four?

 

Jyn: one of you jedi people, do a jedi thing

 

Han: That’s not how the force works-

 

Maul:

 

Han: that…isn’t how the force works, right?

 

Maul: debatable.

 

Cassian: I GOT IT

 

Cassian: Kriff, wait. That’s floor 3.

 

Cara: JUST DEAL WITH IT

 

Cara: WE’LL FIND ANOTHER WAY TO THE FOURTH FLOOR, I’M DYING OVER HERE

 

Poe: Anyone else have a face full of Mandalorian armor right now?

 

Rey: i have…something

 

Zorii:

 

Rey: source of that something is debatable…possibly a blaster?

 

Din: sorry

 

Quinlan: NO DON’T MOVE YOU’RE GOING TO CRUSH ME

 

Din: SORRY

 

Obi-Wan: Stay strong, everyone. I think we’re on the second floor.

 

Ben: if this thing stops…

 

Armitage: NO

 

Armitage: WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY IT

 

Armitage: KRIFFING SKYWALKERS AND THEIR KRIFFING HORRIBLE LUCK

 

Leia: HOW DO YOU THINK WE FEEL???

 

Ben: just one more floor. just one more floor. just one more-

 

Maul: WE’RE HERE

 

Jyn: DON’T TALK ABOUT BRUNO

 

Maul: WHO

 

Jyn: FORGET IT

 

Cara: I CAN BREATHE AGAIN

 

Poe: I never thought I would be so happy to taste nice, fresh, recycled air.

 

Fennec: as good as it feels to breathe without inhaling someone else’s stink, how are we getting to the bathrooms?

 

Ben: stairways: the fourth floor awakens

 

Fennec: oh yeah, stairs

 

Anakin: Imagine completely forgetting stairs exist.

 

Fennec: Imagine getting so lost that you can’t tell the difference between a shoe store and the Duolingo headquarters.

 

Hunter: Imagine thinking this trip was a good idea.

 

Anakin: It WAS a good idea!

 

Hunter: no, it was an excellent idea

 

Hunter: i’m so glad we’re not still stuck at that orange nightmare

 

Quinlan: Guys, as fun as this is, BATHROOMS

 

Anakin: Ahh, yes

 

Anakin: ONWARDS!!!! TO…uh

 

Anakin: ONWARDS, TO TOILETRIES!!!!!

 

Din: here we go again…

Notes:

This has nothing to do with the chapter, but does anyone know when Reylo Week is/if it’s happening this year? All I’ve been able to find information for is Spring Into Reylo, just wondering if there’s any official week/theme this year.

Chapter 42: Exploring the Headquarters (aka wandering aimlessly and trying not to get thrown out)

Chapter Text

Anakin: So… where to?

 

Fennec: You said you had the whole trip planned out

 

Anakin: I didn’t say I know what we’re doing when we get here

 

Din: So what you’re saying is this is going to go downhill very fast

 

Asajj: What are we even supposed to do here?

 

Anakin: whatever we usually do?

 

Jyn: chaos?

 

Jyn: i don’t wanna make a mess of peoples’ work though

 

Din: why is it that you’ll respect that here but not at home

 

Jyn: every time i destroy that house i am destroying government property :)

 

Wrecker: Chaotic good

 

Din: why are you so anti-government

 

Jyn: says the criminal

 

Din:

 

Din: I can explain

 

Anakin: No you can’t, we’re leaving

 

Poe: Quinlan is still in the bathroom

 

Anakin: Survival of the fittest.

 

Obi-Wan: Can I just lock him in a closet?

 

Cara: Quinlan or Anakin?

 

Anakin: Are there different answers to those?

 

Cara: yes. definitely.

 

Anakin: Sure, let’s lock Quinlan in a closet.

 

Cara:

 

Han: Imagine being that oblivious.

 

Rey:

 

Zori: i don’t want to say it but i want to say it

 

Armitage: can i say it

 

Poe: NO

 

Ben: If you say it we will end you.

 

Poe: Exactly.

 

Zorii: this may be the reason the resistance and first order reach a truce

 

Rey: you may be right

 

Quinlan: Hey guys, what did I miss?

 

Anakin: INTO THE CLOSET

 

Poe: *war flashbacks*

 

Fennec: w h y

 

Fennec: *war flashbacks*

 

Rey: imagine coming out 😅

 

Zorii: what

 

Poe: Exactly.

 

Ben: she’s bi ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Poe: Pretty sure I found out by accident.

 

Rey: pretty sure i found out by accident

 

Fennec: *slow clap*

 

Jyn: So who are we locking in the closet?

 

Zorii: I’M NOT GOING BACK TO JAIL-

 

Quinlan: 💀

 

Quinlan: I’m beginning to think I missed a crucial detail.

 

Cara: You definitely did.

 

Echo: What are we doing here?

 

Anakin: I dunno, let’s explore.

 

Anakin: Welcome to the Duolingo headquarters. I will be your tour guide today, for your grand tour.

 

Anakin: everybody just play along and look official

 

Din: That’s going to be hard.

 

Echo: Nothing unprofessional about a group of idiots sneaking through a business building.

 

Din: Am I idiots?

 

Jyn: You’re that one brain cell we keep around for talking down the cops.

 

Anakin: I’m obviously not idiots.

 

Cassian: I hate to break it to you…

 

Asajj: No you don’t.

 

Cassian: You’re right, I take that back. I really don’t.

 

Cassian: You are definitely idiots, Anakin.

 

Maul: The seduction of the dark side 😈

 

Zorii: wait, if i turn to the dark side i get to be brutally honest all the time?

 

Maul: Pretty much.

 

Jyn:

 

Jyn: guys

 

Jyn: i think i might be on the dark side

 

Cara: Jyn sitting on top of the dark side.

 

Leia: Jyn, get off the dark side! Padmé says it’s my turn to sit on it!

 

Jyn: on the dark side, in the dark side, consumed by the dark side, whatever.

 

Asajj: consume the dark side

 

Armitage: consummate the dark side

 

Leia: leave

 

Armitage: With pleasure

 

Anakin: NO

 

Anakin: NO LEAVING

 

Din: is it too early to steal paper from the copier machines and make ‘send help’ signs?

 

Quinlan: At least wait a few more floors.

 

Han: How many more floors are there?

 

Ben: Too many.

 

Fennec: Which way to the food? I think all our snacks were destroyed in the crash.

 

Poe: SO YOU ADMIT IT THEN

 

Poe: YOU ADMIT IT WAS A CRASH

 

Fennec: NO I SAID NOTHING

 

Fennec: I THINK ALL OUR SNACK WERE DESTROYED IN THE CHAOTIC LANDING

 

Poe: CRASH

 

Poe: SHE SAID CRASH

 

Poe: BACK ME UP GUYS

 

Obi-Wan: We’re trying to stop Anakin from breaking the copying machine.

 

Din: I think we should take advantage of all this paper lying around and make some ‘save us’ signs

 

Wrecker: If Anakin doesn’t use it all for copying pictures of his metal hand.

 

Jannah: GUYS HELP

 

Fennec: WHAT NOW

 

Jannah: MY HAIR

 

Kaydel: IT LOOKS FINE, YOU NEED TO BE MORE CONFIDENT IN YOURSELF

 

Jannah:

 

Jannah: IT’S STUCK

 

Obi-Wan: IT’S WHAT

 

Jannah: IT’S STUCK IN THE COPY MACHINE

 

Anakin: COPY JANNAH’S HAIR

 

Obi-Wan: OKAY I’LL GO FIND SCISSORS

 

Anakin: nO GET BACK HERE-

 

Fennec: Wait this has happened to me before.

 

Han: You’ve broken into a building and gotten your hair stuck in a copy machine?

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: no but i got my braid stuck in a door while sneaking into an imperial base once

 

Jannah: that’s arguably cooler than this

 

Fennec: there was very little dignity or ‘cool’ involved

 

Fennec: Cara, help me out here

 

Cara: I’M BUSY HELPING ANAKIN CHASE OBI-WAN

 

Fennec:

 

Rey: I can be Cara

 

Rey: Minus the pulling weapons out of thin air.

 

Rey: I can pull weapons through the air though.

 

Fennec: Great, you’re acting Cara.

 

Rey: :)

 

Fennec: Help me get Jannah’s hair out of the copying machine

 

Rey: On it

 

Fennec: No, no, Cara would protest and suggest shooting something

 

Rey: oh

 

Rey: What if we shoot the copy machine instead? That’ll… get her hair unstuck?

 

Maul: wow

 

Maul: she almost sounds just like cara

 

Poe: she does, it’s scary

 

Fennec: No, we’re going to untangle it.

 

Jannah: phew

 

Rey: Fine 🙄

 

Evaan: Why are we all clustered around the copy machine?

 

Cassian: Would you rather gather around the stack of paper?

 

Evaan: No.

 

Cassian: Well this is the only other object in the room we can gather around ominously.

 

Leia: He has a point.

 

Jannah: I’M FREE

 

Jannah: THANK YOU FENNEC AND ACTING-CARA

 

Fennec: Yep

 

Rey: np

 

Rey: we should go shoot something now

 

Din: Okay you can stop being Cara now.

 

Din: One is enough.

 

Echo: More than enough.

 

Obi-Wan: I HAVE RETURNED WITH SCISSORS

 

Jyn: oh

 

Jyn: we don’t need those anymore

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Obi-Wan: WELL I’M USING THEM SO LET’S GO FIND SOMETHING TO CUT

 

Anakin: ONWARDS!!!!!

 

Fennec: Preferably towards some food?

 

Anakin: Sure, how hard can it be to find a mess hall?

 

Din:

 

Din: i don’t want to know the answer to that question

Chapter 43: Trading for Food… Any Takers?

Chapter Text

Anakin: WHERE IS EVERYONE

 

Wrecker: WE LOST ANAKIN

 

Din: FINALLY

 

Anakin: oh hey din

 

Din: NOOOOOOOOOO

 

Anakin: Where’s everyone else?

 

Din: SOMEBODY SAVE ME I’M LOST IN A BUILDING WITH ANAKIN

 

Din: AS IF BEING WITH ANAKIN WEREN’T ENOUGH

 

Fennec: Entertainment at its finest.

 

Quinlan: Being alone with Anakin isn’t something I’d wish on anyone.

 

Jyn: Except Padmé.

 

Quinlan: Yeah, except Padmé.

 

Rey: Window!!!

 

Din: as tempting as it is, i’m not using the window as an escape option just yet

 

Cara: No, she found a window.

 

Rey: GUYS IT’S STILL RAINING

 

Poe: Wait until we get back to the compounds!

 

Rey: but what if it’s not raining at the compounds

 

Poe: It has to rain sometime.

 

Rey: It’s a desert…

 

Din: How are you going to get past Anakin?

 

Rey:

 

Din: Exactly.

 

Fennec: Guys, food?

 

Din: Ask Anakin, he’s supposedly in charge.

 

Anakin: I HAVE FOUND THE FOOD!

 

Evaan: That’s a storage closet.

 

Anakin: That is indeed a storage closet.

 

Fennec: IT BURNS

 

Fennec: HELP ME, I CAN’T HANDLE THE PROXIMITY TO THE CLOSET

 

Fennec: IT’S TOO PAINFUL

 

Quinlan: W-what about all the closets at base?

 

Cara: We destroyed the doors to our closet and turned it into a storage area for random stuff

 

Zorii: destroy all the closets

 

Cara: louder

 

Zorii: DESTROY ALL THE CLOSETS

 

Cara: YEAH

 

Zorii: Are we actually going to destroy all the closets

 

Cara: Probably not

 

Din: NO YOU WILL NOT

 

Anakin: GUYS I ACTUALLY FOUND THE MESS HALL

 

Fennec: REALLY?

 

Jyn: IS IT POSSIBLE

 

Maul: I don’t believe it.

 

Maul: He actually found it.

 

Obi-Wan: Anakin??? Actually guiding us in the right direction????

 

Anakin: GREETINGS FELLOW HUMANS

 

Obi-Wan: I take that back. This is not going in the right direction at all.

 

Ben: Who’s explaining this to the FBI because I refuse.

 

Anakin: WE REQUIRE SUSTENANCE, AND THIS IS APPARENTLY THE PLACE TO FIND IT

 

Cassian: My life has become a badly written comedy holo

 

Din: i just wanted my kid and my ship and now i have all of these idiots

 

Din: And Padmé.

 

Maul: At least there’s Padmé.

 

Maul: Not something I ever thought I’d say, but here we are in a completely different galaxy watching Anakin Skywalker deliver the worst speech I have ever heard.

 

Leia: At least public speaking skills don’t run in the family.

 

Ben: Should we get him out of here?

 

Echo: I know Anakin.

 

Echo: There’s no getting him out of this without destroying something.

 

Hunter: Potentially us.

 

Echo: Yeah, potentially us.

 

Anakin: SO YEAH, FOOD WOULD BE NICE

 

Anakin: OH AND IF YOU GUYS COULD MAKE SURE THE SHINY METAL GUY DOESN’T TRY TO SNEAK OUT, THAT WOULD BE NICE

 

Din:

 

Fennec: s h i n y   m e t a l   g u y

 

Din: rey, do you remember where that window is?

 

Rey: Yeah

 

Din: can you please direct me towards it

 

Din: i would like to leave the building

 

Anakin: NO

 

Anakin: ANYWAY, WE WOULD LIKE SOME FOOD AND CONVERSATION AND STUFF

 

Anakin: WE HAVE PAYMENT IN THE FORM OF A SHINY METAL GUY AND AN ANNOYING GUY WHO COMPLAINS ABOUT GETTING STABBED A LOT, AND IF WE NEED TO WE ALSO HAVE A SALTY LADY WHO LIKES WEAPONS A LITTLE TOO MUCH

 

Fennec: is that me

 

Jyn: is that me

 

Cara: i wouldn’t call myself THAT salty

 

Zorii: i would definitely call myself salty and in need of weapons

 

Asajj: this describes me on a personal level i never knew existed

 

Anakin: I MEANT JYN BUT WE CAN SACRIFICE ALL OF YOU IF NECESSARY

 

Asajj: HEY HOLD UP, SACRIFICE ?

 

Anakin: IF NECESSARY

 

Quinlan: did we leave the popcorn on the bus

 

Wrecker: unfortunately

 

Din: Can’t we just trade Anakin?

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: Wait.

 

Cara: OKAY LISTEN UP HOW ABOUT WE TRADE THE GUY YELLING FOR FOOD

 

Maul: EVERYONE IS YELLING, YOU HAVE TO SPECIFY

 

Cara: THE GUY WILLING TO TRADE ALL OF US FOR FOOD

 

Cara: WELL WE’VE TAKEN A VOTE AND WE’D RATHER TRADE HIM FOR FOOD

 

Evaan: Did I miss us taking a vote?

 

Cara: I’m just assuming we’d all agree to trade Anakin.

 

Quinlan: Can’t argue there.

 

Anakin: HEY WAIT NO

 

Anakin: YOU CAN’T TRADE ME, I’M THE ONE WHO ORGANIZED THIS WHOLE TRIP!

 

Din: WHAT PART OF THIS HAS BEEN ORGANIZED

 

Cara: Finally, he says something intelligent.

 

Din:

 

Cara: WHO’S WILLING TO TAKE ANAKIN FOR FOOD

 

Evaan: WE’RE EATING ANAKIN???

 

Cara: NO

 

Cara: WERE YOU EVEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE LAST FIVE MINUTES OF CONVERSATION

 

Evaan: NOT REALLY

 

Obi-Wan: WE’RE TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING TO USE THE SCISOSRS ON

 

Jyn: Scisosrs.

 

Cassian: Have you tried Han yet?

 

Han:

 

Poe: oh force

 

Ben:

 

Zorii: This has to violate some form of time-space continuity.

 

Jyn: We passed that a long time ago.

 

Jyn: I’m trying to get over the fact that Cassian isn’t choosing the rational decision for once.

 

Cassian: When have I been rational?

 

Jyn: fair

 

Obi-Wan: HAN COME OVER HERE FOR A MINUTE

 

Han: NO

 

Cara: ANY TAKERS??? ANAKIN FOR FOOD???

 

Poe: watch melinda show up

 

Echo: Watch Padmé show up.

 

Asajj: no. that’s too frightening to consider.

 

Din: Somebody please save me.

 

Rey: I know where the nearest window is!

 

Din:

 

Anakin: NOBODY IS LEAVING THIS BUILDING

 

Hunter: Do we even have a way to get back to the compounds?

 

Cassian: Probably not…

 

Fennec: Remember when we thought Anakin had everything under control?

 

Quinlan: Absolutely not.

Chapter 44: New Arrivals!

Chapter Text

Cara: COME ON, PLEASE?

 

Cara: ANY TAKERS???

 

Cara: ANAKIN FOR FOOD?

 

Quinlan: it’s anakin

 

Cara: They could take pity on us!

 

Quinlan: it’s anakin.

 

Cara: fine.

 

Asajj: Wait, I think you have a taker.

 

Asajj: nevermind

 

Poe: uh

 

Poe: guys?

 

Cara: Yeah?

 

Poe: someone’s coming towards us

 

Quinlan: holy force

 

Quinlan: tell me if i’m hallucinating

 

Din: i see a larger version of grogu and a tall angry man

 

Din: and a slightly less tall woman

 

Anakin: HEY I KNOW THOSE GUYS!!!

 

Quinlan: SO I’M NOT HALLUCINATING THEN

 

Cara: IT COULD BE A GROUP HALLUCINATION

 

Anakin: someone not from our timeline slap me

 

Anakin: i need to make sure i’m not hallucinating

 

Jyn: I’ve waited 32 years for this.

 

Cassian: jyn, you are 21

 

Jyn: I’ve waited 32 years for this.

 

Cassian: jyn, you just met him a couple weeks ago

 

Jyn: I’ve waited 32 years for this .

 

Cassian:

 

Cassian: fine.

 

Anakin: JUST SLAP ME ALREADY

 

Anakin: I NEED TO KNOW IF WE’RE IN TROUBLE OR NOT

 

Jyn: Okay.

 

Jyn: Remember, you told me to do this.

 

Han:

 

Armitage:

 

Evaan:

 

Obi-Wan: well

 

Obi-Wan: That echoed.

 

Anakin: ow

 

Anakin: i think she shot me

 

Jyn: You asked for it.

 

Fennec: Note to self, never anger Jyn Erso.

 

Cassian: look at my girlfriend go

 

Jyn: What?

 

Cassian: I said those people are coming up behind you.

 

Cara: Haven’t we established that you two are together?

 

Cassian: Have we?

 

Poe: Well now we have.

 

Jyn: cassian

 

Jyn: have we established that we’re together

 

Cassian: ┬┴┬┴┤(・_・)├┬┴┬┴

 

Cassian: ┬┴┬┴┤(・_├┬┴┬┴

 

Cassian: ┬┴┬┴┤├┬┴┬┴

 

Din: I guess we can add them to the list of people who will be having a Talk when we get home.

 

Ben: There’s a list?

 

Din: Not really

 

Din: Right now it’s just Jyn and Cassian.

 

Ben:

 

Din: Fennec and Tech will probably also be having a Talk about the bus-plane.

 

Din: I don’t know how that will turn out for our general safety.

 

Anakin: WAIT SO

 

Anakin: IF I CAN FEEL PAIN

 

Anakin: BECAUSE THAT WAS VERY PAINFUL

 

Anakin: THAT MEANS WE’RE NOT HALLUCINATING

 

Rey: Maybe you hallucinated Jyn slapping you.

 

Asajj: That’s kind of a weird thing to hallucinate

 

Rey: i’ve seen worse

 

Anakin: GUYS THE JEDI COUNCIL IS HERE

 

Anakin: I’M SCREWED

 

Zorii: And?

 

Han: Join the club

 

Obi-Wan: oh kriff

 

Obi-Wan: i’m screwed too

 

Zorii: oh

 

Zorii: Think there’s still time to use that window exit?

 

Anakin: So you’ll help HIM, but not me?

 

Maul: It’s fairly normal for you to be screwed.

 

Maul: Hey wait, am I screwed too?

 

Quinlan: You’re wanted by the Jedi Council, so probably.

 

Maul: rey where’s the window

 

Rey: Two lefts and a right and about halfway down the hallway

 

Rey: next to the poster with the giant green owl on it

 

Maul: thanks

 

Maul: see you guys back at the compounds

 

Anakin: NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE

 

Anakin: hey can someone add them to the chat

 

Anakin: it’s too crowded in here to talk about classified business out loud

 

Poe: Classified business? Are we dealing drugs?

 

Finn: Again, Poe?

 

Finn: We can’t escape…

 

Ben: I think he means us.

 

Ben: We’re living in a government base.

 

Ben: I don’t think that information is just available to the public.

 

Poe: True.

 

Finn: guys we have the legal status of drugs.

 

Poe: that sounds about right

 

Poe: cause whenever i’m with you i feel so high

 

Finn: I- 🥰

 

Din: EVERYONE

 

Din: EVERYONE IN THIS FORCE FORSAKEN CHAT IS SO SMOOTH

 

Din: E V E R Y O N E    B U T    A N A K I N

 

Anakin: don’t remind me

 

Fennec invited Larger Grogu

 

Fennec invited Tall Angry Man

 

Fennec invited Average-Sized Mildly Attractive Woman

 

Tall Angry Man: what

 

Tall Angry Man: this galaxy hates me.

 

Average-Sized Mildly Attractive Woman: I don’t know, mine isn’t that bad.

 

Larger Grogu: Grogu, who is?

 

Fennec: I don’t know any of your names so I put in random stuff for your contacts

 

Fennec: This is entirely off of first impressions.

 

Quinlan: I-

 

Quinlan: as someone who knows everyone you just added, i find that excellent

 

Quinlan: though as someone who works for everyone you just added, i’m not at liberty to tell you how much you got correct

 

Han: hey am i related to any of you?

 

Tall Angry Man: no, why?

 

Han: …no reason

 

Average-Sized Mildly Attractive Woman: Well my name is Depa, and it’s good to meet friends of Anakin and Obi-Wan and Quinlan’s.

 

Din: Friends of Anakin may be stretching it.

 

Tall Angry Man: Understandable.

 

Tall Angry Man: And my name is Mace Windu.

 

Larger Grogu: Yoda, I am.

 

Fennec: Got it. One second…

 

Depa: Testing?

 

Yoda: Worked, it has.

 

Mace Windows: Good. Now let’s get down to business: what are all of you doing here?

 

Mace Windows:

 

Maul:

 

Armitage: doth mine eyne deceive me

 

Ben: please speak basic

 

Armitage: window man

 

Mace Windows: Change this. Immediately.

 

Fennec: i couldn’t resist

 

Mace: Better?

 

Mace: Good.

 

Mace: Now what are all of you doing here?

 

Asajj:

 

Han:

 

Jyn: IT WAS ANAKIN’S IDEA

 

Anakin: …

 

Yoda: Surprised, why am I not?

Chapter 45: The Perfect Place to Have an Argument is in a Duolingo Cafeteria (at least according to Anakin)

Notes:

Huge thanks to 19BBY and Please leave your weapons at the door for suggesting the Jedi Council and Depa show up!!!

Chapter Text

Anakin: It wasn’t all my fault!

 

Anakin: Fennec crashed the bus!

 

Fennec: it is not a bus and that was not a crash

 

Poe: More of an aggressive landing.

 

Din: this is getting ridiculous

 

Mace: First of all, what are you doing on Earth?

 

Cara: Honestly? We don’t know either.

 

Depa: When did you get here?

 

Evaan: To the Duolingo building? Earlier today.

 

Mace: What about to Earth?

 

Din: Couple weeks to a month, give or take.

 

Quinlan: Did you guys just get here?

 

Obi-Wan: we’re in the prescience of jedi masters, and that’s what you’re going to say

 

Obi-Wan: so this is how quinlan dies…

 

Quinlan: …fine

 

Quinlan: Did you arrive on this planet recently?

 

Asajj: *laughs in i don’t have to follow jedi rules*

 

Yoda: Curious, I am, of why working with criminals you are.

 

Maul: anakin….

 

Anakin: what?

 

Maul: window…

 

Anakin: …maybe.

 

Leia: Bold of you to assume any of us are working together as a coherent group.

 

Depa: I don’t know if I’d like to hear this answer, but who are some of these people?

 

Obi-Wan: It’s… a long story, masters.

 

Anakin: They’re from the future!

 

Jyn: We come in relative peace.

 

Fennec: We really don’t.

 

Jyn: We come with no sense of peace except for Din.

 

Din: hi i’m din

 

Armitage: Din is our brain cell.

 

Armitage: Cassian is half a brain cell.

 

Cara: All together, we have only two brain cells.

 

Armitage: where did the other half come from???

 

Cara: what other half

 

Maul: See? Very low on brain cells.

 

Mace: Okay, but what are you all doing here? Where have you been staying?

 

Fennec: I’m surprised they didn’t find us yet. We had that whole Area 51 field trip…

 

Hunter: the orange one. thank the force you had the orange field trip. it was horrible. everything was orange.

 

Mace: Just answer the question.

 

Din: We live at Area 51 and Anakin decided to take a field trip here.

 

Yoda: Done well you have, young Skywalker.

 

Luke: what did i do

 

Din: wrong skywalker

 

Luke: oh

 

Anakin: What did I do?

 

Yoda: Brought your friends to us, you have.

 

Anakin: uh

 

Anakin: Of course! That was my plan all along!

 

Mace:

 

Mace: By show of hands, how many of you are from the future?

 

Han: Am I from the future?

 

Poe: Yes, but I’m even more from the future.

 

Cara: i’m somewhere in the middle here

 

Kaydel: heheh i’m the most from the future

 

Armitage: No??? How old are you?

 

Mace: Please just listen.

 

Mace: If you’re from a time after the current Republic-Seperatist war, raise your hand.

 

Fennec: What if I lived through it but I came here from a time after that?

 

Mace: raise your hand.

 

Depa: That’s a lot of hands.

 

Yoda: Deal with this, do we really have to?

 

Cara: Yes.

 

Cara: We need help escaping Anakin

 

Din: You understood that?

 

Cara: somewhat

 

Mace: You haven’t broken the first rule of time traveling, right?

 

Quinlan: the what

 

Jyn: din you know a lot of rules

 

Jyn: what does that mean

 

Din: i don’t know

 

Echo: I’ve begun to realize that you know you’re in trouble when Din doesn’t know a rule.

 

Mace: Those of you haven’t told anyone from the past what happens in the future, correct?

 

Ben:

 

Jyn:

 

Luke:

 

Maul: i think we passed that a long time ago

 

Mace: …What do they know?

 

Fennec: Giant murder planet

 

Fennec: Han gets stabbed

 

Fennec: 90% of the people here are related to Anakin in some way

 

Yoda: Tell those from the past about the future, you do not.

 

Yoda: Common sense that is!

 

Din: Yeah, we don’t have a lot of that here.

 

Cassian: So… you’re Jedi?

 

Quinlan: Yes.

 

Quinlan: Hardcore Jedi.

 

Quinlan: Like Obi-Wan, minus the spiders.

 

Evaan: Ahhhh.

 

Obi-Wan: can we just stop talking about the spiders

 

Fennec: Even the one on your head?

 

Obi-Wan: JHAFKHFSHJASDJASD WHERE

 

Fennec: heheheh

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Obi-Wan: Fennec why

 

Depa: We… have a lot to unpack here.

 

Cara: As great as that sounds, someone else is coming over here and I think they actually work here.

 

Yoda: Work here we do.

 

Cara: yeah but i think this is someone from earth

 

Evaan: Brace yourselves.

 

Evaan: We’re about to establish contact with an entirely new species.

 

Evaan: What we say here could go down in history.

 

Cara: What about Melinda?

 

Maul: Technically she doesn’t count cause we didn’t talk to her.

 

Maul: We just shot at each other a lot.

 

Asajj: Not to ruin the whole serious moment we’re having, but are you telling me the first official contact Ahsoka had with humans was “Hi, welcome to McDonalds”???

 

Din: there was nothing serious about this moment

 

Evaan: Remember, everyone. First contact with a foreign species.

 

Cara: Didn’t Anakin and I just…yell at all of them…

 

Anakin: HI PERSON

 

Anakin: I LIKE YOUR GREEN BIRD OVERLORD

 

Maul: It’s moments like this when I genuinely consider joining the light side.

 

Quinlan: nahhh cause then you get in trouble for it

 

Quinlan: at least you guys are mostly self-governed

 

Asajj: plus we get cooler outfits

 

Asajj: and cooler weapons

 

Obi-Wan: I beg to differ

 

Obi-Wan: At least I can survive in a desert without roasting.

 

Maul: Does your lightsaber have two blades?

 

Obi-Wan: Does your outfit have pockets?

 

Asajj:

 

Asajj: how dare you target my greatest weakness

 

Rey: Is this seriously why we’re still at war after decades?

 

Poe: i think so

 

Ben: You can’t deny that my lightsaber is better than yours

 

Rey: i dont even have mine

 

Rey: because SOMEBODY broke it

 

Ben: Part of that was your fault.

 

Zorii: I thought you fixed it?

 

Rey: If you count sealing it back together and hoping it works, then yes

 

Poe: are you telling me there was a possibility that thing imploded on itself for the last few months

 

Rey: ever since crait

 

Poe: *slowly edges away from rey*

 

Zorii: oooh exploding lightsaber

 

Fennec: This is the only light vs dark discourse i want to see on this planet

 

Jyn: you guys from the future, i swear if you don’t break the cycle i’m going to haunt you for all eternity

 

Din: She’ll keep that promise.

 

Armitage: We know.

 

Jyn: oooooOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOooooo imma ghost

 

Depa: don’t think that’s how it works, but alright

 

Anakin: YES WE’VE PULLED DEPA INTO THE CHAOS

 

Mace:

 

Anakin: sorry masters

 

Yoda: Deal with this, we need to.

 

Mace: Where do we even start…?

Chapter 46: BONUS CHAPTER/PREVIEW THING

Notes:

Finished a pretty big chapter of my life today… so here’s a celebratory bonus chapter with even more crack! This may or may not become part of the storyline later, depending on how many people end up inured or arrested
Oh, and happy Ace day! (at least according to the online pride calendar i found)

Chapter Text

Jyn: Who stole the sanitary products???

 

Anakin: The what???

 

Jyn: In the girls’ compound bathrooms

 

Jyn: You know, the sanitary products

 

Leia: The feminine hygiene products?

 

Rey: the what

 

Zorii: can we please just say pads

 

Rey: apparently not

 

Ezra: Where where they last seen?

 

Fennec: Girls’ compound bathroom, on the shelf

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: would you happen to be speaking of a green cardboard box?

 

Fennec: Yes…

 

Anakin: i might happen to know where they are

 

Jyn: Anakin, what did you do with them?

 

Anakin: i might be using them to clean up my failed attempt at making fuel for the bus

 

Jyn: …

 

Jyn: get the knives

 

Fennec: The throwing knives or the kitchen knives?

 

Jyn: any knives

 

Jyn: stab anakin for me

 

Fennec: Blood will be spilled

 

Rey: There’s…another box in the other bathroom…

 

Anakin: The purple cardboard box?

 

Rey:

 

Anakin: Yeah I’m using that one too.

 

Asajj: p e r i s h

 

Obi-Wan: For force’s sakes Anakin, what did you do now?

 

Cara: P E R I S H

 

Din: what happened i just woke up and there’s around twenty people stampeding by my room-

 

Leia: That seems pretty normal for you.

 

Din: It is, I’d just like to know what it’s about this time.

 

Jyn: i started my day in a pool of blood and that’s how i’m going to end anakin’s

 

Rey: Isn’t there a box in the guys’ compound bathroom?

 

Maul: if you’re talking about the yellow box, it may or may not have caught on fire

 

Zorii: i’m sorry, it what

 

Ben: he set it on fire

 

Ben: we’re not sure why

 

Obi-Wan: IS THAT WHAT WAS BURNING

 

Maul: YEAH

 

Obi-Wan: WE HAD TO DISMANTLE THE FIRE ALARMS SO NO ONE CAME TO ARREST US

 

Anakin: I WANTED TO SEE IF IT WAS FLAMMABLE

 

Anakin: PLUS THE HEATING SYSTEM BROKE

 

Leia: THERE ARE EASIER WAYS TO KEEP WARM

 

Din: hold up

 

Din: is leia a part of the stampede going after anakin

 

Fennec: Yep

 

Din: oh

 

Din: im not even going to try to break it up then

 

Din: jyn and fennec and cara and asajj AND leia… not worth the pain or time

 

Ezra: That’s fair

 

Anakin: HELP THEY’RE ALL TRYING TO BREAK DOWN THE DOOR

 

Anakin: AND THEY HAVE KNIVES

 

Anakin: H E L P   M E

 

Armitage: No, I don’t think I will.

 

Armitage: Who knows how to hide a body?

 

Ben: unfortunately me

 

Hunter: I’ll get the Bad Batch on it

 

Hunter: Kid, you and Echo go scout out a suitable burial spot.

 

Poe: ahh, the sweet, sweet sound of utter chaos and bloodthirsty threats

Chapter 47: Anakin Gets a Proposal… And Some Other Stuff Happens

Chapter Text

Din: So… all of you have just been working for a giant bird overlord this whole time?

 

Yoda:

 

Yoda: Have the wrong idea, I believe you do.

 

Depa: Bird… overlord…?

 

Jyn: Anakin told us you work for a giant green bird

 

Jyn: And he teaches you languages.

 

Anakin: I did not put it exactly that way-

 

Fennec: You did. You definitely did.

 

Yoda: Work for a bird, we do not.

 

Maul: Maybe that’s just what the bird wants you to think.

 

Jyn: i was about to say that but alright go ahead steal my line-

 

Depa: We don’t work for a bird. We work for a normal company, trying to fit in as normal people.

 

Cara: *stares pointedly at larger grogu*

 

Depa: Yes, that part is harder to disguise as normal.

 

Depa: Most people are just too tired to care.

 

Obi-Wan: Are there any more masters working here???

 

Yoda: Looking for Master Qui-Gon, you are.

 

Yoda: Regret to inform you, we do, that not here, he is.

 

Obi-Wan: I understand, Master.

 

Mace: However, there is one more master around here somewhere…

 

Depa: Plo Koon. He immediately adopted everyone in the building and he goes around checking in on his ‘children’. They haven’t fired him yet because he’s a huge morale booster.

 

Fennec: So he’s your guys’ version of Din

 

Din: im not sure whether that was an insult or a compliment

 

Fennec: it was a statement of fact. you’ve accidentally adopted everyone you come across.

 

Quinlan: Wait… Ahsoka’s master is here?

 

Anakin: i'm right here

 

Quinlan: Her other one

 

Anakin: yeah i guess he’s here too

 

Quinlan: She’s gonna flip

 

Quinlan: She missed out on meeting her master so she could work for a clown overlord.

 

Depa: Ahsoka is working for a WHAT

 

Din: She works for a clown overlord.

 

Din: It’s fine. That kind of thing is normal here.

 

Depa: Do we need to rescue her?

 

Poe: Nah she’s fine

 

Poe: Except when she has to deal with Karens, but aside from that she’s fine.

 

Mace: I’ve just finished talking to the Duolingo representative. They have… an interesting request.

 

Jyn: Does it involve murder because I can do that

 

Cassian: They’re probably kicking us out of the building.

 

Cara: Are they actually going to trade Anakin for food?

 

Cara: heheheh now he’s their problem

 

Mace: Anakin…

 

Armitage: Are they seriously taking Anakin for food?

 

Armitage: big mistake but alright

 

Mace: Duolingo would like to hire you.

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: wait what

 

Han: They want ANAKIN?

 

Anakin: Why me?

 

Mace: They’d like to discuss some things with you…

 

Mace: They have a new advertising pitch that involves you dressing up as the Duolingo owl and causing chaos.

 

Asajj: So you DO work for a bird overlord.

 

Zorii: Anakin’s going to become the bird overlord?

 

Cassian: I heard causing chaos and that’s definitely a job for Anakin.

 

Anakin: I’m getting a job?

 

Anakin: what are the rest of them going to do all day while i’m at work

 

Din: revel in the peace and quiet

 

Din: and stop fennec and cara from breaking any more laws

 

Jyn: what peace and quiet

 

Han: At least that’s one less person with a lightsaber…

 

Anakin: Do I look like I’m related to you?

 

Poe:

 

Anakin: do i look like i’d want to be

 

Leia:

 

Ben:

 

Ben: wait leia?

 

Ben: what does she know

 

Leia: about what

 

Poe: she knows some

 

Poe: nothing major

 

Anakin: do i look like somebody who wishes to be involved in whatever inside joke is going on over there?

 

Rey: you don’t. you really don’t.

 

Anakin: You’re right. I really do not.

 

Anakin: anyway i get to dress up and cause chaos… and get paid for it?

 

Mace: From what I understand, yes.

 

Anakin: And I get to spend all day with you guys?

 

Mace: Unfortunately.

 

Anakin: But…everyone else…

 

Jyn: I’LL HELP YOU CAUSE CHAOS IN A BIRD COSTUME

 

Anakin: NO. MY BIRD COSTUME.

 

Jyn: FINE CAN I JUST BE YOUR REPLACEMENT WHILE YOU’RE AT WORK THEN

 

Anakin: SURE

 

Din: Wait, what about the commute?

 

Han: communism?

 

Evaan: somebody get this man a dictionary

 

Din: We live across the country. How is Anakin going to get to work every day?

 

Yoda: Figure that out, we must

 

Obi-Wan: Does this mean I’ll finally be Anakin-free?

 

Fennec: does this mean we can’t torment anakin every waking moment of his life anymore?

 

Depa: You took a bus to get here, right?

 

Depa: we can just organize a bus route for him

 

Fennec: said bus may or may not have had wings

 

Fennec: and rocket boosters

 

Quinlan: She was a good bus. Scary, but good. A complete death trap, but good.

 

Asajj: Really sticking with the positives there, huh?

 

Depa: …or we can just use a spaceship instead

 

Fennec: it’s probably for the best. the bus is a little unusable at the moment.

 

Cassian: By which she means it’s a smoking pile in the middle of some park

 

Fennec: Only a little unusable!

 

Depa: Spaceship.

 

Fennec: Fine.

 

Yoda: Work with us you can. Locate any other remaining beings who have been displaced, we must.

 

Anakin: i still get to dress up as a green bird?

 

Yoda: Yes.

 

Anakin: i’m in.

 

Anakin: Padmé’s gonna be shocked

 

Mace: Senator Amidala is with you?

 

Anakin:

 

Obi-Wan: right. senator amidala.

 

Obi-Wan: who’s telling him

 

Anakin: nONE OF YOU

 

Rey: Should’ve thought about this before you went and told everyone my secret 👀

 

Anakin: THAT WAS PADMÉ

 

Rey: padmé… as in the padmé who…you know…

 

Anakin: rey no

 

Anakin: absolutely not

 

Din: Again with the lightsabers? Really?

 

Anakin: don’t you dare tell

 

Anakin: please?

 

Rey: …

 

Rey: okay fine. for now.

 

Anakin: T H A N K   Y O U

 

Din: Lightsaber. Away. Now.

 

Yoda: This Din… your caretaker, he is?

 

Cara: Pretty much, yeah

 

Din: Very reluctantly, yes

 

Yoda: Deal with the rest of your group while Anakin is at work, can you?

 

Maul: That’s funny

 

Maul: Did he just assume that Anakin had everything under control?

 

Quinlan: i think so

 

Yoda: Master Vos, disrespecting a Jedi Master are you?

 

Quinlan: No, Master!

 

Quinlan: I would never

 

Obi-Wan: We’ve been… slightly more lax with the rules lately, while trying to understand this planet.

 

Maul: yeah that’s an understatement

 

Obi-Wan: shut up i can end you

 

Maul: sure lemme just go find a spider

 

Obi-Wan: shut

 

Maul: no

 

Maul: go take your high ground and perish

 

Yoda: Master Obi-Wan…

 

Obi-Wan: Sorry, Master.

 

Anakin: guys shut up

 

Cara: says you…

 

Anakin: I’m calling Padmé and Ahsoka and telling them about the green owl job!

 

Cara: Okay, everybody quiet!

 

Cara:

 

Cara: SHUT IT HE’S ON A PHONE CALL

 

Maul:

 

Evaan:

 

Poe:

 

Din: has ahsoka picked up yet?

 

Cara:  yeah

 

Anakin: Hey Ahsoka, guess what?

 

Cassian: three…

 

Cassian: two…

 

Maul: Why are we counting?

 

Maul: should i be worried?

 

Obi-Wan: Definitely

 

Cassian: one…

 

Jyn: JANNAH HIDE THE DRUGS

 

Jannah: the  w h a t

 

Jyn: THE DRUGS HIDE THE DRUGS

 

Jannah: o-okay?

 

Anakin: JYN WHY

 

Anakin: NOW SHE’S YELLING AT ME NOT TO “LURE ALL OF YOU INTO DOING DRUGS CAUSE SHE’S NOT COMING ALL THE WAY OUT TO’ PITTSBURGH’, WHEREVER THAT IS, TO RESCUE ALL OF US”

 

Jyn: ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )

 

Anakin: JYN THIS IS NOT FUNNY

 

Mace: He doesn’t seem to be very in charge of his charges

 

Cassian: Bold of you to assume anyone can be in charge of Jyn…

 

Mace: Does this have to do with Skywalker’s bright pink hair as well?

 

Wrecker: Ohhhh yes

 

Wrecker: That was fun!

 

Armitage: It may have to do with the pink hair

 

Leia: And the sandwich.

 

Armitage: i don’t want to think about the sandwich

 

Rey: It was a good sandwich!

 

Armitage: NOBODY THINKS IT WAS GOOD

 

Rey: YES, YES I DO

 

Rey: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT

 

Armitage:

 

Armitage: that’s not what i meant but alright

 

Din: Look, I hate to break it to you, you all seem like tolerable enough people…

 

Depa: Was that supposed to be a compliment?

 

Cara: yes

 

Cara: We’re working on his people skills. It’s a slow process.

 

Din: I think you all deserve to know the truth.

 

Din: Anakin has less than no control over us. End of story.

 

Obi-Wan: It’s true.

 

Asajj: with the exception of padmé (¬‿¬)

 

Quinlan: Asajj no

 

Fennec: Asajj yes

 

Anakin: Guys Ahsoka doesn’t believe I have a job

 

Anakin: Somebody tell her

 

Ben: It’s true, they offered him a job.

 

Ben: We’re all terrified for the workers here.

 

Anakin: See, Ahsoka? I told you I have a job now!

 

Anakin: ok not technically, i have to agree to it and everything. but still.

 

Asajj: So… would you Jedi Master people happen to have a ship? Ours is… it’s not in the best condition right now

 

Fennec: She’ll be fine.

 

Armitage: I think we’ve collectively agreed she really won’t.

 

Fennec: She just needs some time and a good mechanic

 

Armitage: at this point she just needs a funeral

 

Depa: We do have a ship, but fitting you all would be… difficult, to say the least.

 

Cassian: …Trust me when I tell you that won’t be a problem for us.

Chapter 48: Return to Sender

Chapter Text

Depa: And you’re all sure you can fit in…that?

 

Ezra: Oh, believe me random lady I just met a few minutes ago.

 

Ezra: We’ll be fine.

 

Quinlan: Can’t be worse than the elevator!

 

Rey: …which one?

 

Rey: i’ve had some… interesting experiences

 

Din: oooh same

 

Din: One time i was in an elevator while holding a severed head

 

Maul: oh yeah you mentioned that earlier

 

Din: there was someone else in the elevator and they kept staring at me :)

 

Rey:

 

Rey: that’s nice

 

Din: So how about you?

 

Rey: …unimportant

 

Jyn: Before the Duolingo headquarters, the last time I was in an elevator was right before I ended up here.

 

Jyn: And we were only in that elevator because SOMEONE thought it was a good idea to go RIGHT BACK INTO THE WAR ZONE WE’D JUST ESCAPED

 

Jyn: IN WHICH WE ALMOST DIED

 

Cassian: I JUST SAID WE SHOULD GO BACK FOR OUR CREW

 

Jyn: OUR CREW, WHO WAS  D E A D

 

Cassian: WELL I’M SORRY, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW???

 

Asajj: They have some… unresolved issues.

 

Yoda: See that, I can.

 

Cara: We all can, and yet they insist on pretending not to have issues.

 

Cara: Like Obi-Wan and his unresolved arachnophobia!

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Obi-Wan: Din?

 

Din: Me?

 

Obi-Wan: When does the curfew on lightsaber ignition begin?

 

Din:

 

Din: i don’t think there’s a way for me to safely answer that, considering the looks i’m getting from both of you

 

Rose: I’m beginning to think I missed a lot while you guys were in that building

 

Asajj: You certainly did

 

Asajj: There was an ongoing threat of people jumping out the window to escape

 

Rose:

 

Asajj: Exactly.

 

Mace: Anakin, we expect you to bring this ship right back tomorrow morning.

 

Anakin: Yes, Master.

 

Anakin: fennec, no crashing

 

Fennec: IT WASN’T A CRASH

 

Obi-Wan: …Maybe I should pilot

 

Anakin: No way. You crash too much.

 

Poe: I can fly!

 

Zorii: Yeah, I don’t think this ship is equipped to fly us upside down.

 

Poe: I can fly normally, you know.

 

Finn: Can you?

 

Poe: even my boyfriend won’t back me up 😭

 

Finn: I’ll back you up, I just won’t lie to your face

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Obi-Wan: wow

 

Din: Okay, everybody in!

 

Fennec: Hey, I’m the pilot. I make the announcements.

 

Din: I don’t think you being the pilot is going to be good for our collective health.

 

Tech: All things considered, so far it hasn’t been good for our collective health. This will most likely continue.

 

Ezra: listen to him, he has logic

 

Quinlan: I don’t why I thought rejoining you guys would give us more brain cells because it obviously didn’t

 

Quinlan: Thought the bus is slightly less of a smoking wreck, so I guess that’s improvement?

 

Jyn: Is it?

 

Quinlan: i’m trying out this thing called optimism, jyn

 

Quinlan: you wouldn’t understand

 

Jyn: you’re right

 

Jyn: I prefer reality.

 

Depa: …

 

Anakin: Don’t worry, it’s normal.

 

Fennec: EVERYBODY WHO ISNT IN THE SHIP IN THE NEXT FIFTEEN SECONDS IS ROOMING WITH ANAKIN AND PADMÉ

 

Evaan: oh kriff no

 

Anakin: Wait, do I get a say in this?

 

Mace: You’ve been rooming with Senator Amidala, Anakin?

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: i can explain. after i kill fennec.

 

Mace: Excellent job. We hadn’t considered the possibility of more nighttime assassination attempts on this new planet.

 

Anakin:

 

Quinlan: just take it anakin

 

Quinlan: if someone accidentally throws you a life raft, take it anyway

 

Anakin: Yes Master, that was exactly my plan. Our first priority is keeping the Senator safe.

 

Cara: This is entertaining.

 

Cara: I want to ruin it.

 

Din: no.

 

Cara: please?

 

Din: No.

 

Cara: ugh okay fine

 

Fennec: TEN SECONDS ALL OF YOU

 

Din: oh kriff MOVE MOVE MOVE-

 

Ezra: MY SHOE FELL OFF

 

Depa: This shoe?

 

Fennec: FOUR SECONDS

 

Ezra: YEAH JUST THROW IT

 

Cassian: Someone is sitting on me-

 

Obi-Wan: Oh. Hello there.

 

Cassian: hi

 

Cassian: please get off

 

Maul: GUYS MAKE ROOM I NEED TO GET IN

 

Fennec: THE DOORS ARE CLOSING

 

Maul: M O V E

 

Anakin: I’m on the floor somehow, people are stepping on me

 

Evaan: you should’ve considered that before you ended up on the floor

 

Han: are we making seating arrangements or am i going to be standing on anakin this whole trip?

 

Fennec: Thanks for your help random Jedi people!

 

Fennec: And thanks for getting Anakin off our hands!

 

Mace: May the force be with you.

 

Fennec: Yep and you guys WHO PULLED MY HAIR YOU’RE SLEEPING WITH ANAKIN AND PADMÉ TONIGHT

 

Fennec: I DON'T CARE IF THERE’S ONLY ONE BED

 

Mace: there’s

 

Mace: what now

 

Quinlan: WELL, GOTTA GO

 

Quinlan: NICE SEEING YOU GUYS

 

Depa: …You as well?

 

Yoda: Expect you to keep this ship intact, we do

 

Fennec: Don’t worry about it. She’s in good hands.

 

Fennec: OKAY WHOEVER’S LAUGHING, I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW ROOMMATES

 

Jyn: noooooooo

 

Jyn: I don’t wanna be with them, Padmé follows rules too much

 

Jyn: She’s a bad influence!

 

Quinlan: This feels like an excellent time to leave, Fennec.

 

Fennec: Taking off now. Everybody brace yourselves!

 

Din: With what? The person sitting on me?

 

Maul removed Mace, Depa, Yoda

 

Maul: well that was eventful

 

Evaan: i can’t breathe

 

Fennec: OKAY I’M LEAVING SEATING ARRANGEMENTS UP TO YOU GUYS, DONT MAKE ME REGRET IT

 

Cara: i want to stand on anakin

 

Anakin: i’m going to murder fennec for exposing me

 

Fennec: I already regret this.

 

Fennec: Cara, go stand on Anakin so he can’t murder me.

 

Cara: 👍

 

Ezra: hey guys

 

Obi-Wan: Yes?

 

Ezra: do we have time to make a quick pit stop?

 

Fennec: …for what.

 

Ezra: i may need a quick bathroom break

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: Absolutely Not.

 

Rose: Ezra you had HOURS

 

Ezra: WELL I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THEN

 

Din: No way. We’re not stopping. Padmé and Ahsoka will kill us if we get home late.

 

Ezra: THIS CAN’T WAIT

 

Rey: not to interrupt but how long will we be flying?

 

Rey: i’ve already lost all circulation in my legs

 

Cassian: Same. Because SOMEBODY is sitting in my lap.

 

Asajj: 👀

 

Han: 👀

 

Jyn:

 

Jyn: how could you

 

Cassian: …

 

Cassian: I hate everyone on this ship.

 

Din: Hey, what did I do???

 

Cassian: Not you, you’re alright.

 

Cassian: *I hate most of the people on this ship.

 

Jyn: what about me???

 

Cassian: I guess you’ll just have to wonder.

 

Jyn:

 

Jyn: well i hate you

 

Cara: ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo

 

Ezra: 👀

 

Jyn: *all of you

 

Jyn: Even you, Din, Even you.

 

Din:

 

Din: i feel unnecessarily targeted

 

Ezra: Fennec, can we PLEASE pull over for a bathroom break?

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: fine, but only so i can buy some earplugs and block out your ridiculousness

 

Fennec: HEY CAN SOMEONE SEARCH FOR FREE BATHROOMS NEARBY

 

Anakin: ONCE EVERYONE STOPS STANDING ON ME

 

Cara: NO

 

Cara: but i will look up restrooms, yes

 

Fennec: thank

 

Cara: welcome

 

Poe: i don’t feel safe with her flying the ship

 

Quinlan: Hey, at least it’s not the bus.

Chapter 49: The Ladies’ Greatest Secret (and some other stuff)

Notes:

I’m sorry ahead of time… I’m telling everyone the darkest secret known to womankind… I had to do it 😭

Chapter Text

Fennec: OKAY GUYS RESTROOM BREAK IS OVER

 

Echo: but ezra’s still in there-

 

Fennec: I don’t care, there is one person I will not mess with and that is Padmé Amidala.

 

Fennec: She’s terrifying when she’s angry.

 

Anakin: oh yeah

 

Anakin: you do NOT mess with her

 

Echo: okay, but unless you’re planning on breaking into the bathrooms and dragging ezra out, there’s nothing you can do

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: Excellent idea.

 

Quinlan: FENNEC NO

 

Quinlan: YOU CANNOT JUST WALK INTO THE GUYS BATHROOM AND DRAG EZRA OUT

 

Fennec: WHY NOT?

 

Quinlan: uh…

 

Quinlan: Well for one thing, you’re not a guy

 

Din: …i think what he meant to say is that dragging people out of the bathroom is a horrible idea.

 

Fennec: wait why do i have to be a guy to go to into the restroom?

 

Jyn: It’s no use, Fennec. It’s too late.

 

Jyn: They know now.

 

Quinlan: know what?

 

Jyn: ladies have to use the restroom too

 

Asajj: JYN NO

 

Asajj: YOU TOLD THEM OUR MOST PRECIOUS SECRET

 

Zorii: Jyn, how could you do this?

 

Cara: You let us all down.

 

Maul: …we weren’t supposed to know?

 

Cara: WHO TOLD HIM

 

Asajj: IT WASN’T ME I SWEAR

 

Fennec: guys why can’t i go into the bathroom

 

Quinlan: It’s a guys bathroom!

 

Fennec: It’s a bathroom???

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: fennec.

 

Anakin: did you not know there were guys and girls bathrooms?

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: there’s  w h a t

 

Anakin: fennec have you just been using all the bathrooms your whole life

 

Fennec: they’re bathrooms i thought the only rule was no peeing on the seats 😭

 

Cassian: I mean she has a point-

 

Rey: now seems like a terrible time to admit that i have also been using all the refreshers at the resistance base with absolutely no regards for the little picture signs outside

 

Poe: oh no we don’t have guys and girls bathrooms, we barely have enough bathrooms for everyone to begin with

 

Rey: okay good

 

Rey: i’ll remember that for later

 

Jyn: If we ever get back.

 

Maul: Jyn?

 

Jyn: Yes?

 

Maul: Shut it.

 

Fennec: Ezra has five seconds and then I’m going in there regardless of your feeble attempts at barring me

 

Din: No chanting-

 

Cara: FIVE

 

Anakin: FOUR

 

Asajj: THREE

 

Ezra: hey guys, what did i miss?

 

Fennec:

 

Asajj: do it anyway

 

Fennec: Excellent idea

 

Ezra: wait seriously what happ- FENNEC STOP DRAGGING ME WHAT IS GOING ON

 

Anakin: Bathroom break is over.

 

Ezra: yeah i got that part, thanks

 

Fennec: EVERYONE BACK IN THE SHIP

 

Fennec: AND FIND SEATING ARRANGEMENTS THAT DON’T INCLUDE MURDER OR PADMÉ WILL KILL ME

 

Anakin: NOBODY STAND ON ME

 

Anakin: P L E A S E

 

Cara: hmmmm no thanks

 

Cara: everyone move, i’m standing on anakin if it’s the last thing i do.

 

Anakin: IT WILL BE

 

Han: who looks least likely to be related to me

 

Cara: probably me

 

Cara: come help me stand on anakin

 

Han:

 

Han: no thanks

 

Fennec: just pick someone who doesn’t look related to you, it’s not that hard

 

Han: …

 

Armitage: fingers crossed?

 

Poe: shhh

 

Poe: he’s choosing a seat

 

Poe: and i want to see what goes down

 

Han: …

 

Din: Why is everyone watching?

 

Din: half of you guys don’t even know what the right choice is

 

Din: …is there even a right choice?

 

Rey: well there’s a wrong choice

 

Poe: sjkdkjhkhj stop smiling you’re giving it away

 

Rey: what if i’m just happy to not have someone sitting on me

 

Zorii: I CAN FIX THAT

 

Rey:

 

Jannah: zorii please stop laying on me

 

Zorii: pillow.

 

Rey: no pillow.

 

Zorii: stop smiling then

 

Fennec: EVERYONE SHUT UP HE’S MAKING A CHOICE

 

Han: STOP STARING THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER

 

Cara: vErY sErIoUs MaTtEr

 

Han:

 

Han: OKAY FINE I’M SITTING DOWN JUST SO ALL OF YOU SHUT UP

 

Ben:

 

Poe: you’d think after everything that’s happened with our group he wouldn’t sit with us

 

Rey: ….there are no words

 

Zorii: I CAN THINK OF A FEW

 

Ben: nobody is allowed to say anything .

 

Fennec: Apparently this will be a fun ride home

 

Anakin: CARA STOP TRYING TO STAND ON ME

 

Armitage: ANAKIN COME SIT OVER HERE WITH ALL OF US AND HAN

 

Ben: no

 

Armitage: JUST IGNORE HIM

 

Jyn: are we all going to sit on the floor because i don’t think there’s enough room for that

 

Hunter: …and you think sitting in the six available chairs is a better idea?

Chapter 50: Padmé has entered the chat

Chapter Text

Din: GUYS PADMÉ IS TEXTING ME

 

Din: SHE WANTS TO KNOW WHERE THE KRIFF WE ARE

 

Fennec: ADD HER TO THE GROUP CHAT OR SOMETHING

 

Din added Padmé

 

Padmé: WHERE ARE YOU

 

Padmé: I’M NOT BAILING YOU IDIOTS OUT OF JAIL

 

Quinlan: Don’t worry, we’re not in jail!

 

Asajj: Yet.

 

Din: AND WE DON’T PLAN TO BE, SO NO ONE GET ANY IDEAS

 

Jyn: awwww

 

Zorii: awww

 

Maul: Din, you’re no fun

 

Din: I’M TRYING TO KEEP US FROM GETTING ARRESTED

 

Cara: BUT WHY?

 

Din:

 

Din: Padmé, tell them

 

Padmé: NO ONE IS GETTING ARRESTED ON MY WATCH

 

Padmé: OR DIN’S

 

Padmé: SO WHERE ARE YOU

 

Poe: Ask the navigator

 

Fennec: i have no idea ask someone responsible

 

Poe: DIN WHERE ARE WE

 

Din: SOMEWHERE VERY HIGH UP IN THE AIR

 

Poe: OKAY BUT WHERE

 

Din: I DON’T KNOW

 

Cara: I’VE GOT A MAP

 

Evaan: THAT’S A MAP OF THE DUOLINGO BUILDING

 

Evaan: hey wait where did you even get that?

 

Cara: great question

 

Cara: FENNEC USE THIS ONE

 

Fennec: I’M JUST FLYING THE OPPOSITE OF THE WAY WE CAME AND THAT’S GOING TO HAVE TO BE ENOUGH

 

Padmé: ALRIGHT THAT’S IT I’M USING FIND MY LOCATION

 

Anakin: YOU’RE WHAT

 

Padmé: I CAN TRACK ALL OF YOUR PHONES

 

Cara: THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE

 

Padmé: SO IS OVER HALF OF WHATEVER YOU GET UP TO

 

Padmé: and no, tracking your guys’ phones is quite possible

 

Din: I’d like to know how you managed to do this.

 

Padmé: the government put us all under the same phone plan. any of us can track everyone else using this find my phone thing as long as they all have phones.

 

Din: I’ll keep that one in mind…

 

Padmé: Alright, now that I know you guys aren’t somewhere in the next ocean over, want to hear a weird story from work?

 

Han: Can’t get much weirder than our Duolingo story…

 

Rey:

 

Rey: i am very uncomfortable with the energy we’ve created in this corner of the ship today

 

Padmé: i don’t want to know

 

Jyn: you don’t, but i do

 

Armitage: Jyn no

 

Jyn: Jyn yes

 

Cassian: Jyn…

 

Jyn: fine

 

Fennec: Why is this conversation between Cassian and Jyn a daily occurrence?

 

Cassian: she listens to pretty much no one else, and only me whenever she feels like it

 

Jyn: ༼ง◕_◕ ༽ง

 

Obi-Wan: I really don’t want to be a part of this conversation, but did you just…combine two of those lenny things everyone is addicted to…to make another one…?

 

Maul: you…want to fight someone…and hug them…at the same time?

 

Ben: mood

 

Cara: That pretty much seems to sum up Jyn and Cassian

 

Maul: Padmé are you ever gonna tell us what happened at work, or are you gonna let everyone talk over you?

 

Padmé: good point

 

Padmé: EVERYONE SHUT UP OR I’M COMING AFTER YOU WITH MY FINGER GUNS (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞

 

Cara: NO NOT THE FINGER GUNS

 

Padmé: QUIET

 

Asajj: anakin can i steal your girlfriend?

 

Quinlan: i’m right here…

 

Asajj: oh, i know. and so is padmé. and only one of you has finger guns.

 

Jannah: shots fired

 

Padmé: not yet.

 

Din: Alright, I can now confirm that pretty much everyone is listening, which is honestly better than usual.

 

Din: Keep it quick, you only have a minute.

 

Ezra: Wait, why does she only have a minute?

 

Padmé: none of you have attention spans longer than sixty seconds.

 

Ezra:

 

Padmé: Anyways, today I was at work.

 

Padmé: And a random guy I’ve only talked to a few times comes up to me, looking at me with a weird expression.

 

Din: ANAKIN, PUT THE LIGHTSABER AWAY

 

Anakin: NO

 

Din: JUST UNTIL THE END OF THE STORY

 

Fennec: somebody just steal it

 

Zorii: I’VE GOT IT

 

Armitage: that…was the most enthusiastic i’ve ever seen her

 

Evaan: You obviously missed the dino nuggets episode, then.

 

Armitage: *second most enthusiastic

 

Anakin: nO IT’S MY LIGHTSABER

 

Zorii: MINE NOW

 

Rey: zorii come back

 

Zorii: NO, I MUST LORD MY SUPERIORITY OVER ANAKIN

 

Rey: please? i need you to be a human blanket again 🥺

 

Zorii: …

 

Zorii: give me five seconds to celebrate

 

Rey: Of course

 

Padmé: Do… do I want to ask?

 

Ezra: At least thirteen people are using Rey as a pillow right now.

 

Rey: ┬┴┬┴┤(・_├┬┴┬┴ you want hugs?

 

Poe: unofficial pillow friend

 

Padmé: anakin, obi-wan, why don’t we ever do things like this?

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Obi-Wan: jedi code?

 

Rey: i feel like we left jedi code behind a long time ago

 

Maul: we also have left behind padmé’s story and I WANT TO HEAR THE ENDING SO EVERYONE SHUT IT

 

Padmé: Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

 

Padmé: The guy comes up to me, still looking at me oddly.

 

Padmé: Then he tells me I look a lot like this Earth lady.

 

Ezra: Earth lady?

 

Padmé: Yeah, her name is Natalie something-or-other

 

Luke: DO YOU HAVE A SECRET TWIN SIBLING TOO

 

Padmé: WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN

 

Leia: a lot of things

 

Leia: don’t kiss her just in case

 

Padmé: W H A T

 

Ben: yeah… just finish th story. you don’t want to know.

 

Padmé: That was pretty much the end of the story

 

Padmé: I was very confused and he walked off.

 

Padmé: Now I’m home alone at the compounds with only the red glow of the few security cameras we haven’t demolished yet to keep me company.

 

Obi-Wan: …how long have you been home alone?

 

Padmé: Too long.

 

Fennec: Don’t worry Padmé, we’re on our way.

 

Padmé: I can see that. I’ve been obsessively following your phone trackers.

 

Fennec:

 

Padmé: please get home soon, i’m so bored

Chapter 51: Jyn Tries DIY, Human Pillows, Breaking the Jedi Code as a Hobby, and more!

Chapter Text

Anakin: WE HAVE ARRIVED

 

Padmé: FINALLY

 

Padmé: AHSOKA IS SO LATE I’VE BEEN SO LONELY

 

Quinlan: EVERYONE LOOK AWAY

 

Cara: Why?

 

Quinlan: We’re about to experience some very affectionate PDA in 5…

 

Asajj: 4…

 

Fennec: 3…

 

Wrecker: 2…

 

Evaan: EVERYONE LOOK AWAY

 

Asajj: my what an interesting ceiling

 

Cassian: Is that… blood?

 

Asajj: my what an interesting ceiling

 

Cassian: i.. i’m gonna look at the floor now

 

Din: hi

 

Cassian: hello

 

Zorii: YOU GUYS DONE YET

 

Anakin: YEP

 

Zorii: GOOD OR I WAS GONNA STEAL YOUR LIGHTSABER AGAIN

 

Anakin: YOU WOULDN’T DARE

 

Jyn: She would. She definitely would.

 

Jyn: I would too.

 

Padmé: So Anakin actually has a job now?

 

Fennec: Hard to believe, I know.

 

Fennec: But it’s true, we finally found someone idiotic enough to hire him.

 

Hunter: that’s the jedi council you’re talking about-

 

Fennec: Yep. Never really cared about them. Still don’t!

 

Asajj: That’s a nice attitude, have you ever considered joining the dark side?

 

Fennec: nah cause then i’d lose seeing grogu privileges

 

Fennec: we’re not allowed to turn din’s son to the dark side

 

Asajj: ah well we can come up with something that finds a loophole

 

Fennec: maybe. i don’t do space wizard politics.

 

Asajj: yeah neither do i

 

Jyn: oh look, they’re cuddling again

 

Din: Who, Fennec and Asa- oh it’s anakin and padmé

 

Din: i’ve now seen things no mortal should ever see

 

Din: not that i hadn’t before, but you know how those two are

 

Obi-Wan: HEY ARE YOU GUYS DONE

 

Obi-Wan: I CAN ONLY WATCH PEOPLE BREAK THE JEDI CODE FOR SO LONG

 

Anakin: COME ON WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE RANDOM ONLINE DATING APP HOOKUPS YOU HAD

 

Obi-Wan: WELL THOSE WEREN’T RELATIONSHIPS WERE THEY

 

Anakin: …

 

Padmé: Yeah, we’re done.

 

Fennec: great, everybody out!

 

Evaan: ANAKIN’S GONNA TERRORIZE PEOPLE IN A BIRD SUIT

 

Padmé: he’s going to what

 

Anakin: It’ll be fun!

 

Jyn: I’m allowed to help!

 

Anakin: occasionally

 

Maul: So what are we doing now?

 

Fennec: Finding a new bus.

 

Cara: I want food.

 

Han: i’m locking myself in my room far away from all of you idiots.

 

Rey: from the looks everyone is giving me, i’m going to continue being the human pillow

 

Rey: no complaints here

 

Poe: I say we watch a bad romance holo and use Rey as a pillow

 

Jannah: All in favor!

 

Quinlan: It’s “All in favor say aye”

 

Jannah: no. all in favor. the decision has been made.

 

Din: Great, that’s a lot less people I have to worry about exploding things for the next three hours.

 

Din: As for the rest of you…

 

Jyn: No promises.

 

Jyn: Actually you’ve given me an excellent idea. Let’s see if the fuel in this ship is explosive.

 

Cassian: Jyn, it’s fuel.

 

Jyn: Exactly.

 

Padmé: …How about we wait for Ahsoka to get home before we do that?

 

Jyn: Okay, I’ll ask her if she wants to join us in blowing things up!

 

Fennec: Ask her if she would rather help us search for a new bus to modify instead

 

Jyn: Sure

 

Padmé: That’s not-

 

Padmé: You know what, fine. As long as Ahsoka is monitoring one of you.

 

Jyn: She said she wants to help with explosives

 

Padmé: Great. Wonderful. Spectacular. Have fun with that.

 

Jyn: Oh we will.

 

Luke:

 

Luke: i’m scared

 

Cassian: That’s Jyn for you.

 

Jyn: You wanna help blow things up?

 

Cassian: When have I not?

 

Jyn: …there has to be at least one time, but i can’t think of it

 

Cassian: usually i’m the one blowing up things you don’t want me blowing up

 

Din: That is not where I thought this conversation would go-

 

Din: and great, now i have to keep my eye on BOTH of them

 

Cara: JYN PUT THE TOASTER BACK

 

Cara: I NEED IT TO MAKE FLATCAKES

 

Din: CARA THAT’S NOT WHAT A TOASTER IS FOR

 

Cara: THEN WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH IT

 

Din: MAKE TOAST

 

Jyn: Or you can help us blow it up!

 

Padmé: Jyn, wait until Ahsoka gets home!!!

 

Jyn: ugh fine. but only if i don’t have to room with you and anakin tonight.

 

Padmé: i…what?

 

Padmé: You weren’t rooming with us anyway.

 

Poe:

 

Poe: wonder why

 

Ben: please stop talking

 

Ben: i’m related to these people

 

Ben: all of this is somewhat scarring

 

Poe: not as scarring as getting murderered by your own child on a death planet

 

Jannah: murderered?

 

Kaydel: murderered.

 

Ben: poe, you’re skating on some very thin ice

 

Poe: Hey, I’m just saying…

 

Rey: POE GET OVER HERE OR WE’RE STARTING THE HOLO WITHOUT YOU

 

Poe: ALRIGHT ALRIGHT I’M COMING-

 

Ben: thanks

 

Rey: yeah of course. now both of you get over here or we’re actually starting without you.

 

Zorii: JYN IF YOU’RE GOING TO STEAL THE TOASTER COULD YOU AT LEAST NOT RUN RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SCREEN WHILE WE’RE TRYING TO WATCH A MOVIE

 

Jyn: BUT ZORII, EXPLOSIONS

 

Padmé: Just wait until Ahsoka gets home, and no setting off the smoke alarm. That’s all I ask.

 

Jyn: every machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough

 

Din: for the love of mandalore jyn

 

Din: why

 

Jyn: WHO WANTS TO SEE MY DIY SMOKE MACHINE

 

Cara: ME

 

Cara: BUT ONLY IF YOU LET ME USE IT TO MAKE FLATCAKES

 

Ahsoka: WHAT’S UP IDIOTS I’M HOME FROM WORK

 

Padmé: oh perfect timing

 

Padmé: you’re on ‘making sure jyn doesn’t accidentally or purposefully kill everyone’ duty. she’s blowing up a toaster. good luck with that.

 

Ahsoka: and i thought anakin getting a job was the craziest thing i’d hear today

 

Anakin: i… i am very offended by this…

 

Ahsoka: yeah, you’re right. you getting hired without having to mind trick or bribe someone is still more shocking.

Chapter 52: Blood Has Been Spilled (and will continue to be spilled, if Jyn has her way)

Notes:

Extended version of the bonus chapter from a few chapters back! Because of course my brain is going to make this into an insane story arc… keep an eye out for a requested character as well!

I’m watching the LEGO summer vacation special now as well— there may be some potential chapters written based off of it, depending on how many cracky ideas it spawns :)

Chapter Text

Jyn: Who stole the sanitary products???

 

Anakin: The what???

 

Jyn: In the girls’ compound bathrooms

 

Jyn: You know, the sanitary products

 

Leia: The feminine hygiene products?

 

Rey: the what

 

Zorii: can we please just say pads

 

Rey: apparently not

 

Ezra: Where where they last seen?

 

Fennec: Girls’ compound bathroom, on the shelf

 

 Anakin:

 

Anakin: would you happen to be speaking of a green cardboard box?

 

 Fennec: Yes…

 

 Anakin: i might happen to know where they are

 

 Jyn: Anakin, what did you do with them?

 

 Anakin: i might be using them to clean up my failed attempt at making fuel for the bus

 

 Jyn: …

 

 Jyn: get the knives

 

 Fennec: The throwing knives or the kitchen knives?

 

 Jyn: any knives

 

 Jyn: stab anakin for me

 

 Fennec: Blood will be spilled

 

 Rey: There’s…another box in the other bathroom…

 

 Anakin: The purple cardboard box?

 

 Rey:

 

 Anakin: Yeah I’m using that one too.

 

 Asajj: p e r i s h

 

 Obi-Wan: For force’s sakes Anakin, what did you do now?

 

 Cara: P E R I S H

 

 Din: what happened i just woke up and there’s around twenty people stampeding by my room-

 

 Leia: That seems pretty normal for you.

 

 Din: It is, I’d just like to know what it’s about this time.

 

 Jyn: i started my day in a pool of blood and that’s how i’m going to end anakin’s

 

 Rey: Isn’t there a box in the guys’ compound bathroom?

 

 Maul: if you’re talking about the yellow box, it may or may not have caught on fire

 

 Zorii: i’m sorry, it what

 

 Ben: he set it on fire

 

 Ben: we’re not sure why

 

 Obi-Wan: IS THAT WHAT WAS BURNING

 

 Maul: YEAH

 

 Obi-Wan: WE HAD TO DISMANTLE THE FIRE ALARMS SO NO ONE CAME TO ARREST US

 

 Anakin: I WANTED TO SEE IF IT WAS FLAMMABLE

 

 Anakin: PLUS THE HEATING SYSTEM BROKE

 

 Leia: THERE ARE EASIER WAYS TO KEEP WARM

 

 Din: hold up

 

 Din: is leia a part of the stampede going after anakin

 

 Fennec: Yep

 

 Din: oh 

 

 Din: im not even going to try to break it up then

 

 Din: jyn and fennec and cara and asajj AND leia… not worth the pain or time

 

Ezra: That’s fair

 

Anakin: HELP THEY’RE ALL TRYING TO BREAK DOWN THE DOOR 

 

Anakin: AND THEY HAVE KNIVES

 

Anakin: H E L P   M E

 

Armitage: No, I don’t think I will.

 

Armitage: Who knows how to hide a body?

 

Ben: unfortunately me

 

Hunter: I’ll get the Bad Batch on it

 

Hunter: Kid, you and Echo go scout out a suitable burial spot.

 

Poe: ahh, the sweet, sweet sound of utter chaos and bloodthirsty threats

 

Padmé: I knew it was too quiet around here to last longer than twenty minutes

 

Din: I mean… at least they waited until a day after we got back from Duolingo land

 

Padmé: True, true.

 

Padmé: Now if you don’t mind, I have to go murder Anakin.

 

Asajj: THE QUEEN MOTHER HAS JOINED US

 

Asajj: YOU CAN’T RUN ANAKIN

 

Quinlan: You know it’s bad when Padmé is joining the fight.

 

Quinlan: Anakin, you really blew this one.

 

Evaan: Anakin, they’re mobilizing-

 

Fennec: DON’T GIVE AWAY OUR BATTLE PLAN

 

Anakin: WHAT’S GOING ON OUT THERE

 

Ahsoka: Yeah guys of course you can borrow Morai, no problem!

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: forget i asked

 

Jyn: We’re going to war!

 

Cara: Yes we are. Prepare yourself Anakin.

 

Padmé: One request again, no killing please.

 

Leia: that would definitely destroy the space-time continuity

 

Leia: i don’t even know what that is, it just sounds like it would

 

Jannah: This doesn’t seem like it’s gonna end safely.

 

Maul: I do not require the use of these feminine hygiene products you speak of, but I do feel somewhat guilty for letting Anakin burn the one box, so…anyone need a double-bladed lightsaber?

 

Jyn: DO WE EVER

 

Fennec: Is that even a question??? Of course we need a double bladed lightsaber.

 

Fennec: And pretty much any other lightsabers we can get our hands on.

 

Cassian: Anakin you really messed up.

 

Cassian: There is literally no way you could do worse than this.

 

Echo: Maybe if he stole Evaan’s oranges. She seems pretty attached to them.

 

Evaan: HEY I COULD STOP AT ANY TIME

 

Asajj: Could you really though?

 

Evaan: i mean…

 

Evaan: okay you’re right, no i couldn’t

 

Han: …i mean…if i give all the lightsabers to the girls…then my son can’t stab me

 

Poe: han logic makes no sense and yet it still makes sense, i love it

 

Poe: What if Maul’s your son?

 

Han:

 

Maul:

 

Han: yeah i don’t think so

 

Anakin: DIN I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE RESPONSIBLE ONE

 

Anakin: YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LETTING THEM MURDER ME

 

Din: anakin.

 

Din: you somehow managed to destroy every last sanitary product in not just one, but both compounds.

 

Din: not only is that the stupidest thing i have ever seen, which is saying a lot coming from me, but there is literally no hope for your survival.

 

Rey: guys can we please just call them pads

 

Jyn: Come on Rey, we’re professional!

 

Jyn: and very angry

 

Maul: You call this professional?

 

Maul: …I like it.

Chapter 53: Volunteered? More like Voluntold…

Notes:

can i just say that i spent way too long researching supermarkets in southern nevada while writing this chapter

Chapter Text

Anakin: really, is no one gonna help me?

 

Finn: a wise man once said, ‘don’t join’

 

Finn: actually no, he was kind of an idiot, and he did end up turning us over to the first order. but he did say ‘don’t join’.

 

Anakin: That’s not helpful.

 

Finn: No it is not.

 

Anakin: Anyone have anything helpful?

 

Obi-Wan: We’re not getting involved with…that.

 

Ben: Have they broken down the door yet?

 

Anakin: No.

 

Ben: there’s your answer

 

Maul: We’ve just dented it a lot.

 

Evaan: I’d be surprised it’s held this long, but it’s Anakin

 

Anakin: i am holding this door together with the force and also sheer terror

 

Fennec: I’M GOING TO BREAK THIS DOOR DOWN WITH FORCE AND ALSO SHEER ANGER

 

Anakin: WILL NOBODY HELP ME???

 

Din: Anakin, we’ve been over this.

 

Din: No one wants to mess with that many weapons just for you.

 

Din: plus they have padmé AND ahsoka’s bird

 

Tech: All of the neutral parties do seem to have turned against you, General Skywalker.

 

Anakin: WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS???? BAD BATCH??? A LITTLE HELP???

 

Wrecker: lol no

 

Echo: That doesn’t seem like a good idea

 

Hunter: My self preservation instinct kicked in a looong time ago

 

Anakin: IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET YOU ALL TO STOP TRYING TO KILL ME???

 

Fennec: PROBABLY NOT

 

Padmé: At this point, I doubt it

 

Rey: i mean

 

Asajj: NO

 

Rey: ok but

 

Jyn: REY DON’T DO IT

 

Jyn: NO MERCY

 

Rey: yes but wouldn’t it be easier to get more pads and then kill anakin?

 

Cara: I don’t need logic, I need bloodshed!

 

Cara: If I wanted logic we’d be using Din to break down the door.

 

Jyn: Hey wait a minute

 

Din: oh no

 

Din: it’s never good when they all turn to face you at once

 

Din: bye guys

 

Cara: OH NO YOU DON’T

 

Zorii: Off the record, because I never want to go on record as the sensible one, Rey’s idea could work.

 

Zorii: especially because jyn is basically bleeding everywhere

 

Jyn: BUT I WANNA MURDER ANAKIN

 

Rey: I’M NOT SAYING YOU CAN’T MURDER ANAKIN, I’M SAYING WE SHOULD GO BUY MORE PADS FIRST

 

Kaydel: you mean sanitary products

 

Rey: oh kaydel i forgot you were here

 

Rey: no, i do not mean sanitary products

 

Kaydel:

 

Kaydel: i’m not even sure which sentence to react to first

 

Jyn: Okay fine, let’s get more pads, and then we kill Anakin.

 

Padmé: That works!

 

Maul: I say we send Anakin to get them as a punishment.

 

Padmé: That works!

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: You’re supposed to be on my side.

 

Padmé: there’s literally no saving face this time, anakin. just go with it.

 

Fennec: WHO’S READY FOR A FIELD TRIP

 

Fennec: TIME TO BREAK IN THE NEW BUS

 

Din: Fennec that is not how buses work—

 

Maul: I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA

 

Anakin: Oh no

 

Jyn: oh yes

 

Maul: WE VOTE ON WHO’S GOING WITH ANAKIN

 

Ben: oh no

 

Ben: din was right. it’s never good when everyone turns to look at you at the same time.

 

Din: Good luck

 

Poe: I know exactly where this is going and I love it.

 

Rose: okay so who’s voting for him and who’s voting for han

 

Ben: I’m pretty sure Han’s sleeping

 

Zorii: Well that’s too bad for him, isn’t it?

 

Jannah: future people unite

 

Din: …I call not going. 

 

Cara: So who here is willing to vote for Din?

 

Din: This is supposed to be my day off!

 

Padmé: It is, yeah. I’m on chaperoning duty.

 

Fennec: Great, you get shotgun.

 

Ahsoka: I volunteer Ezra!

 

Ezra: i volunteer not to go

 

Fennec: Great, you’re on regulating Anakin duty.

 

Ezra: Aww, at least have Padmé do that!

 

Fennec: Too late, she’s on navigating duty

 

Leia: I volunteer Luke

 

Han: I volunteer Luke to go in my place!

 

Luke: Wait, why do I have to go?

 

Padmé: You’re one of the least likely to blow something up if we go to the supermarket.

 

Padmé: So where are we going to get these pads anyway?

 

Fennec: …uh

 

Fennec: Rey, it was your plan.

 

Rey: What???

 

Fennec: Wanna come with?

 

Rey: Not really

 

Fennec: Okay, well find us a supermarket to buy pads from

 

Rey: …okay…

 

Ezra: Let’s see, who else can we make miserable by dragging into this trip?

 

Quinlan: OBI-WAN I VOLUNTEER OBI-WAN

 

Obi-Wan: OH YEAH? WELL I VOLUNTEER QUINLAN!

 

Asajj: Gets both of them outta my hair 🤷

 

Obi-Wan: what hair? 😏

 

Poe: first of all, that is NOT how that emoji should be used-

 

Asajj: HEY I’VE BEEN GROWING IT OUT OKAY

 

Fennec: ALRIGHT IN THE BUS BOTH OF YOU

 

Fennec: Rey, any results?

 

Rey: uhhh… there’s this thing called ‘safeway’ nearby… but it sounds more like the name of a military bunker…

 

Padmé: …do they have pads?

 

Rey: Yep.

 

Padmé: To Safeway!

 

Fennec: So far I have… Padmé, Ezra, Han, Quinlan, Ben, Obi-Wan, Luke… and that’s about it

 

Fennec: Oh and Anakin

 

Maul: I volunteer myself.

 

Ahsoka: you don’t have to feel guilty about the fire thing, there’s no stopping anakin when he wants to burn something

 

Maul: Oh no I just want to see this go down.

 

Ahsoka: Fair.

 

Ben: …None of you are going to come with me?

 

Jannah: Lol nope

 

Armitage: I’m gonna go wake up Han and tell him he’s been volunteered to go to Safeway.

 

Rey: i would but i need to make sure jyn doesn’t murder anyone else

 

Rey: padmé hired me as her and din’s replacement

 

Zorii: Rey stop feeling emotions.

 

Zorii: We want them to suffer.

 

Rey:

 

Ben:

 

Zorii: Hi.

 

Ben: Hello.

 

Zorii: Have fun at Safeway.

 

Ben: I really don’t like you.

 

Zorii: Aw come on, we know that’s a lie!

 

Kaydel: Who wants to learn how to make my special chicken nuggies while everyone’s out?

 

Jyn: DO I EVER

 

Rey: …duty calls

 

Zorii: OH BOY CRACK NUGGIES

 

Padmé: …

 

Padmé: Yeah let’s get out of here

 

Fennec: EVERYONE IN THE BUS

 

Cara: Hey should I invite Melinda? We kind of ditched her after the double date failed.

 

Fennec: Please invite Melinda. We need someone to show us the ways of the Safeway.

 

Quinlan: ONWARDS, TO SAFEWAY!!!!

 

Cara: none of them know what they’re doing, do they?

 

Jyn: Help me, Padmé Amidala. You’re my only hope.

 

Padmé: That’s nice and all but I expect texts every ten minutes just so I know you aren’t dead, dying, or committing a felony.

Chapter 54: Everyone is severely lacking brain cells, what else is new?

Notes:

fun game: take a drink of water every time i make a joke about horrible menstruation education

believe me, by the time these next few chapters are through you’ll be plenty hydrated.

Chapter Text

Padmé: guys we have a problem

 

Padmé: Jyn stopped sending her 10 minute check in texts

 

Fennec: Well that’s a problem Din’s just gonna have to deal with.

 

Padmé: …great.

 

Quinlan: Hey how far away is this Safeway thing anyway?

 

Fennec: Great question

 

Fennec: There’s definitely an answer, but you’re not getting it from me

 

Quinlan: Why is she the one always driving us if she never has any idea where she’s going?

 

Fennec: Hey, I’m more qualified than all of you put together!

 

Fennec: if you don’t count padmé

 

Ben: guys rey just texted

 

Padmé: oh no

 

Padmé: who died

 

Ben: she says cara demands we buy tampons as well as pads

 

Fennec: Great, add those to the list!

 

Han: What list?

 

Fennec: …you’re on list duty

 

Han: I don’t want to be on list duty!

 

Fennec: well that’s too bad, isn’t it?

 

Quinlan: Hey, when’s Melinda joining us?

 

Fennec: Well she hasn’t texted back yet, so I’m assuming she’s busy preventing the end of the world or something

 

Quinlan: Ohhh, so that’s why Jyn stopped sending her 10 minute check in texts!

 

Padmé: oh please no

 

Maul: Awww, I’m gonna miss the latest Jyn Erso Destructive Episode

 

Quinlan: Well you volunteered for this.

 

Quinlan: I don’t know why, but you did.

 

Obi-Wan: i can’t believe we’re trusting fennec to help us get sanitary products

 

Obi-Wan: couldn’t we have gotten someone responsible to come along???

 

Ezra: You mean Padmé?

 

Obi-Wan: she’s busy trying to stop jyn from earning us a government visit

 

Ezra: True, true

 

Ezra: Quinlan?

 

Quinlan: Bold of you to assume I have ever been or will ever be responsible.

 

Ezra: You?

 

Obi-Wan: …someone responsible who actually knows what sanitary products are

 

Luke: aaaaaand we’re back to padmé

 

Luke: …this trip is doomed.

 

Ben: Why do you think everyone volunteered each other for it?

 

Maul: Anakin, you’re dating Padmé.

 

Fennec: feels like we’ve been over this already

 

Anakin: leave me alone

 

Maul: No.

 

Maul: You’re dating Padmé. Padmé is smart and responsible and knows how sanitary products work.

 

Maul: Some of that had to rub off on you, right?

 

Ben: definitely not the smart or the responsible

 

Quinlan: You’re asking Anakin if he knows anything about sanitary products.

 

Quinlan: Anakin. Who once asked if you were supposed to put the sticky part of pads on your skin.

 

Maul: you WHAT

 

Luke: wait

 

Luke: that’s not how it works?

 

Maul: oh for force’s sakes

 

Ben: come to the dark side, we have good health education

 

Anakin: HEY IT WAS ONE TIME OKAY

 

Quinlan: YOU THOUGHT AHSOKA’S TAMPONS WERE WEAPONS

 

Anakin: THEY WERE SHAPED LIKE BULLETS

 

Maul: come to the dark side, we have better health education than whatever anakin’s got

 

Obi-Wan: Fine, then you tell us what to do when we get to Safeway!

 

Maul: NO

 

Maul: I VOLUNTEERED FOR THIS TRIP BUT I’M NOT PARTICIPATING IN IT

 

Obi-Wan: You’re sure you learned nothing from Padmé?

 

Anakin: nope

 

Anakin: and i wouldn’t help you if i did, since you’ve all threatened to murder me

 

Han: Technically that was the girls

 

Han: and maul

 

Maul: In my defense, I was bored.

 

Anakin: YOU GAVE THEM THE DOUBLE-BLADED LIGHTSABER

 

Maul: I DIDN'T THINK THEY WOULD TRY TO USE IT

 

Maul: okay that’s a lie, i did

 

Maul: I’m a Sith, it’s my job!

 

Obi-Wan: Does anyone else here have experience with people who use sanitary products?

 

Maul: well i’ve killed quite a few

 

Obi-Wan: Non-fatal experience?

 

Han: I think you’re asking for too much.

 

Obi-Wan: ok who has a girlfriend

 

Fennec: Me!

 

Obi-Wan: we’re not that desperate yet

 

Luke: I have a sister?

 

Obi-Wan: That’s helpful!

 

Luke: but we just met

 

Obi-Wan: …or not

 

Ben: Hey Padmé, Rey says Jyn stopped sending her texts because Morai stole her phone

 

Ben: And they’re all afraid to mess with Ahsoka and her bird

 

Obi-Wan: …

 

Maul: …

 

Han: …

 

Ben: why is everyone looking at me again

 

Padmé: Tell Rey that she’s now in charge of sending texts every 10 minutes!

 

Ben: Sure

 

Ben: …what are the rest of you plotting?

 

Ezra: tell us what you know

 

Ben: what

 

Obi-Wan: You have a girlfriend and dark-side-level health education. Tell us what you know.

 

Ben: …this was a mistake

 

Fennec: What was?

 

Ben: everything

 

Fennec: I have no idea what just happened

 

Fennec: i’m not reading through all of those texts you guys sent before you all went quiet

 

Luke: Please don’t, we kind of need you to drive this thing

 

Ezra: Kind of

 

Fennec: Yeah, only kind of

 

Padmé: TURN TURN TURN TURN

 

Fennec: LEFT OR RIGHT

 

Padmé: THERE’S ONLY A LEFT TURN HERE

 

Fennec: well with that attitude, there is

 

Quinlan: Fennec, please, for the safety of everyone involved, just take the turn that doesn’t involve us flying off the road and into a cactus

 

Fennec: Fine, but for the record you guys are boring

 

Fennec: Anyways…

 

Fennec: Welcome to Safeway, idiots

Chapter 55: The Rise of Safeway (and Melinda!)

Notes:

So it looks like my life schedule is going to get a lot busier, potentially until the new year, but my update schedule is likely going to remain at roughly one chapter per week (or at least try to).
I also have a few WIPs for Andor and the Mandalorian that could throw things off, but again, this fic will probably still keep up with weekly updates.
May the force be with you!

Chapter Text

Fennec: Oh hey, Melinda texted back!

 

Ezra: That might be the first productive thing that’s happened so far.

 

Fennec: Hey, we got here, didn’t we?

 

Maul: Barely.

 

Fennec: What do you mean “barely”?

 

Maul: You tried to create a turn that would’ve destroyed the second bus even faster than the first.

 

Fennec: …I beg to differ.

 

Maul: then beg

 

Obi-Wan: HEY WE’RE LEAVING YOU TWO BEHIND IF YOU DON’T KEEP UP

 

Obi-Wan: ben ask your girlfriend where to go

 

Ben: she can read maps about as well as fennec can

 

Fennec: Fennec happens to be your ride home, so you’d better stop insulting her or she’s leaving you here.

 

Anakin: Can we just go back to the compounds?

 

Quinlan: Sure, if you wanna die.

 

Quinlan: I’m not stopping you.

 

Obi-Wan: WHO HERE CAN READ A MAP

 

Luke: Me!

 

Obi-Wan: Great, you’re reading the map.

 

Ben: …

 

Maul: I just know that if all your other future friends were hear you’d be making somewhat terrifying comments that none of the rest of us understand.

 

Ben: Well you’re not wrong.

 

Han: And you’d all be laughing at me.

 

Ezra: No, that’s something all of us do.

 

Han:

 

Ben: …well you’re not wrong

 

Padmé: Hey guys I don’t think Din and the others are okay

 

Quinlan: You’re surprised… why?

 

Padmé: Oh no I’m not, I just think we need to speed things up.

 

Fennec: Melinda says she’s pulling up right now!

 

Padmé: Oh good, someone who knows their way around this store.

 

Padmé: Let’s hope she has more brain cells than the rest of you.

 

Maul: Padmé that’s basically everyone else on this planet.

 

Obi-Wan: I have brain cells, I just don’t feel like being glued to a wall like Din was.

 

Fennec added Melinda

 

Fennec: hey

 

Melinda: hey

 

Ezra: …

 

Ezra: So who’s gonna say it?

 

Quinlan: Can I say it?

 

Han: I wanna say it!

 

Luke: Say what?

 

Ezra: Okay that’s it, I’m saying it.

 

Ben: Are you guys… twins?

 

Ezra: I WANTED TO SAY IT

 

Ben: Sorry! They just look…identical.

 

Maul: Yep.

 

Luke: Ohhhhh, well I guess they do. If you squint.

 

Melinda: These are your friends?

 

Fennec: …

 

Fennec: Friends is such a strong word, isn’t it?

 

Fennec: some of them. not the one with the beard, he’s too much of a rule-follower.

 

Obi-Wan: Hey!

 

Obi-Wan: It’s not my fault you’re a criminal.

 

Fennec: i mean it kind of is but we’ll leave my tragic backstory for another day

 

Melinda: You’re all here for… what?

 

Padmé: Feminine hygiene products.

 

Quinlan: Pads and tampons and stuff.

 

Ben: and probably chocolate for jyn so she doesn’t kill anakin

 

Quinlan: Hate to break it to you but I don’t think chocolate will be enough.

 

Obi-Wan: Silence, Quinlan. He has experience.

 

Ben: No I really don- okay i guess that was from experience but still

 

Ben: i really do not want to be in charge of this

 

Obi-Wan: Too late, you’ve already been named leader of our expedition.

 

Melinda: Pads and tampons are down that aisle to your left, chocolate is…pretty much everywhere.

 

Fennec: I knew it.

 

Fennec: She’s got superpowers.

 

Melinda: …no.

 

Fennec: You work for the government, you survived an attack from our bus, and you can locate anything at Safeway. You’re like an Earth Jedi.

 

Maul: except she actually knows about sanitary products.

 

Anakin: Low blow.

 

Maul: Oh, I know.

 

Obi-Wan: Great, you’re in charge of our next TED Talk!

 

Maul: Our next what?

 

Obi-Wan: TED Talk. Like Fennec’s. Except yours will be a health class.

 

Maul: Wait no, I signed up for a shopping trip not a TED Talk!

 

Obi-Wan: Too late! You’re doing it now!

 

Maul: I DON’T WANT TO DO THIS

 

Obi-Wan: NOPE I’VE ALREADY WORKED IT INTO OUR SCHEDULE

 

Anakin: we have a schedule?

 

Maul: KEEEEENOOOOOBIIIIIIIII

 

Padmé: Well, there they go chasing each other down the aisles with lightsabers.

 

Padmé: I now understand why Din always passes out on the couch after you guys get back from doing something stupid.

 

Melinda: It’s fine, that’s not even the first time I’ve seen this happen.

 

Melinda: Though usually the lightsabers aren’t real.

 

Anakin: i’m coming here more often

 

Ezra: i know right

 

Ezra: Well, now that there’s no Obi-Wan to guide us…

 

Ben: if all of you never turn to look at me all at once ever again, i will die happy

 

Luke: Didn’t you say you’d already died?

 

Ben: it’s complicated.

 

Ezra: Lead us to the sanitary products.

 

Ben: No.

 

Quinlan: I don’t think you understand that you don’t get a say in this.

 

Ben: I don’t think you understand that I’m not doing this.

 

Ezra: …I think it’s time for some blackmail.

 

Han: I don’t know what’s going on, but I want to blackmail.

 

Ben: padmé has already told my greatest secret

 

Ben: you cannot hurt me in any way that matters

 

Ezra: Can we?

 

Quinlan: If you don’t take over this mission then when we get home without any useful sanitary products I’m telling Jyn that it’s all your fault

 

Quinlan: All of that Jyn Erso wrath turned on you all at once.

 

Quinlan: Get ready to die a second time.

 

Ben: …

 

Ben: onwards, to the sanitary products

 

Ezra: I knew you’d come around.

 

Melinda: So are we going to help them?

 

Fennec: Of course not.

 

Padmé: I…I’m sure they’ll be fine.

 

Padmé: I need to track down Maul and Obi-Wan

 

Melinda: I’d suggest you listen for the sound of utter destruction and follow that.

 

Padmé: Yep. Pretty much.

 

Padmé: Well this will make an interesting story to tell the kids and grandkids.

 

Fennec: Yea you should definitely tell them after the TED Talk

 

Melinda: …

 

Ben: Okay, here you go. We’ve arrived. Go… get Jyn some sanitary products or whatever.

 

Luke: Which ones?

 

Ben: …

 

Ben: am i seriously going to have to guide you all through every step of this process

 

Han: Absolutely.

 

Han: I say we get the lime flavored ones.

 

Ben: first of all, just because the package is green does not mean it’s lime flavored.

 

Han: Oh.

 

Han: So green apple then?

 

Ben: …

 

Ben: i’ll take death at the hands of jyn erso over this

 

Luke: Come on let’s get the orange ones, Evaan is addicted to oranges!

 

Fennec: This has to be one of the greatest things I’ve ever experienced.

 

Quinlan: If you’re just going to complain then can you at least text your girlfriend and ask which sizes they want?

 

Ben: fine

 

Ben: anakin, you better start looking for something to distract jyn with or she’ll burn you alive

 

Ezra: finally, a future joke that i understand

 

Melinda: And these people… are the ones everyone else picked to get the sanitary products?

 

Fennec: Yep.

 

Fennec: We have a somewhat sadistic voting pool.

 

Melinda: …

 

Melinda: You’d better send me a video of this TED Talk.

Chapter 56: Adventures in Anakin-Sitting (with a hint of actual productivity to keep the plot moving)

Chapter Text

Anakin: LOOK THEY HAVE SECRET AGENT PADS

 

Ben: do i want to know?

 

Quinlan: Nope.

 

Quinlan: You should go check it out.

 

Anakin: JUST LOOK AT IT AND TELL ME IT’S NOT A SECRET AGENT PAD

 

Luke: That says tampons…

 

Anakin: CLOSE ENOUGH

 

Anakin: JUST LOOK AT ALL THE COLORS AND THE LOGO

 

Ben: …Alright, Anakin.

 

Ben: Cara and Evaan want those anyways, so just…put them in the basket.

 

Anakin: OOOH WHAT ABOUT THESE

 

Anakin: IT GIVES YOU WIIIIIIIIIINGS

 

Ben: oh just kill me now

 

Ben: please, please stop pausing to point out every shiny, interesting thing in this aisle

 

Ezra: Guys I think Anakin is a bird in disguise

 

Luke: Explanation please?

 

Ezra: Well he goes around screaming and causing chaos, and he keeps picking up random things that catch his attention

 

Ezra: DUOLINGO HAS POSSESSED HIM

 

Quinlan: you know what

 

Quinlan: maybe we’re all just birds with internet access

 

Padmé: Okay guys, I finally stopped Obi-Wan and Maul from trying to kill each other!!!

 

Padmé: For now.

 

Padmé: But that’s better than nothing.

 

Obi-Wan: How fares the quest?

 

Ben: this is arguably the worst side quest i’ve ever been pulled into

 

Ben: and i’ve… seen some things

 

Ezra: Anakin’s a bird.

 

Obi-Wan: That would certainly explain some things.

 

Obi-Wan: Where are Fennec and Melinda?

 

Luke: Makeup aisle.

 

Maul: Fennec wears makeup?

 

Ezra: Oh, no.

 

Ezra: It’s all for Din.

 

Maul: Din wears makeup?

 

Ezra: Not yet.

 

Maul:

 

Maul: i’m off to the makeup aisle

 

Maul: HEY OBI-WAN, WHAT COLOR DO YOU THINK WOULD GO BEST WITH YOUR BLUE EYES

 

Maul: GOLD EYESHADOW OR RED

 

Obi-Wan: NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

 

Maul: I’LL ASK FENNEC

 

Obi-Wan: GOLD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

 

Maul: GREAT

 

Obi-Wan: …

 

Padmé: No way. Give me the lightsaber.

 

Padmé: I only trust about two of you with the lightsabers.

 

Padmé: And that’s only because your targets are at home. Normally I don’t trust any of you with lightsabers.

 

Quinlan: I mean… she’s not wrong.

 

Anakin: LOOK THERE’S SPORTY ONES

 

Padmé: …if we ever go back to our galaxy and times, i’m putting maul in charge of buying sanitary products

 

Padmé: I don’t care if we’re on different sides. I can’t trust any of you Jedi to do it.

 

Quinlan: From what Anakin’s been doing, I don’t either.

 

Ben: Just…put it in the basket, Anakin.

 

Ben: Those can be for emergencies.

 

Ben: Like you burning every other kriffing box in the compounds.

 

Anakin: WE NEEDED A HEAT SOURCE

 

Fennec: YOU COULD’VE JUST COME OVER TO THE GIRLS COMPOUND

 

Fennec: LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DID

 

Luke: oh i forgot she was here

 

Fennec: Really? I’m offended.

 

Fennec: I even picked out nice makeup for you.

 

Fennec: Well now you just get the cheap kind.

 

Fennec: HEY WHO WANTS LUKE’S MAKEUP

 

Ezra: do we have a choice

 

Melinda: No, but we will take requests.

 

Ezra: force it’s like she’s got a twin

 

Fennec: Nah, just a slightly less chaotic doppelgänger

 

Ben: got anything in black?

 

Han: You’re actually going along?

 

Ben: Do I have a choice?

 

Obi-Wan: Not really, when Fennec’s involved.

 

Ben: Might as well go out on my own terms

 

Fennec: Great, any other requests?

 

Anakin: Pick out something ridiculous for the Bad Batch. I’m getting my revenge.

 

Quinlan: What did they ever do to you?

 

Anakin: They didn’t help me when I was stuck to the fridge. Or when I was being attacked by Jyn and her army.

 

Melinda: Oh, I remember the fridge.

 

Melinda: That was a fever dream.

 

Anakin: what

 

Melinda: You missed the cameras in the kitchens during your camera destroying rampage.

 

Anakin: THERE’S CAMERAS IN THE KITCHENS????

 

Ben: So you can see what they’re doing in the kitchens right now?

 

Melinda: Yes and unfortunately yes.

 

Melinda: Well, I can’t see them right now . I left the equipment in the bus.

 

Melinda: But we’ve been able to keep tabs on you that way.

 

Obi-Wan: …

 

Obi-Wan: text your girlfriend. now.

 

Melinda: Me?

 

Obi-Wan: No, not you.

 

Obi-Wan: He knows who I’m talking to.

 

Ben: She says Cara’s getting her weapons now.

 

Ben: Cara says “Time to shoot out their eyes”

 

Melinda: Please don’t

 

Maul: Too bad, she’s very anti-government. You can’t stop her once she’s decided to destroy government property.

 

Melinda: We’ve started betting on what stupid thing Anakin’s going to do next.

 

Melinda: This is our only source of entertainment.

 

Melinda: You guys are the funniest aliens we’ve had to deal with in quite a while.

 

Padmé: Hey guys…

 

Padmé: We’ve got a problem.

 

Ben: Anakin, whatever you just put in the basket, take it out.

 

Anakin: IT WASN’T ME

 

Padmé: It actually wasn’t him this time.

 

Anakin: Another Fennec lookalike?

 

Padmé: No.

 

Padmé: Hunter and Din just walked in.

Chapter 57: Toaster Hunting

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Din: GUYS I GOT A BASKET

 

Ezra: GREAT, WE ALREADY HAVE ONE

 

Din: WELL NOW YOU HAVE TO HELP US PICK OUT A TOASTER

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: a what

 

Din: A TOASTER

 

Ezra: w-why?

 

Hunter: Kaydel imploded a toaster with chicken nuggies!

 

Padmé: And…none of you decided to let us know?

 

Hunter: uh…

 

Hunter: Nope, not really

 

Padmé: I am never leaving you idiots home alone ever again.

 

Padmé: Except to go to work, obviously.

 

Din: So how’s the sanitary product hunt going?

 

Ben: it…it’s going.

 

Din: that’s nice

 

Din: i’m honestly only here to hide from jyn so you guys better fix this mess

 

Ben: We’re trying but Han and Anakin are idiots.

 

Fennec: What else is new.

 

Maul: OH YEAH DIN WHAT COLOR MAKEUP DO YOU WANT

 

Fennec: SHHHH YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TELL HIM

 

Din:

 

Din: maybe i’ll go back to dealing with jyn

 

Melinda: Oh, is this the responsible one?

 

Fennec: Yep.

 

Din: Do…do i want to know who that is?

 

Maul: That’s Melinda

 

Maul: FBI Agent Melinda

 

Melinda: Technically SHIELD Agent Melinda, but sure.

 

Din: Great, so you’re going to stop her from doing all this illegal stuff, right?

 

Melinda: Well technically she’s paying for all of the makeup, so the best I can do is give her a parking ticket.

 

Din: great

 

Han: DIN THEY HAVE SECRET AGENT PADS

 

Din: g r e a t

 

Din: hunter come on we’re going to the toaster aisle

 

Hunter: Where’s that?

 

Melinda: Just go four over to the right.

 

Hunter: oh okay thanks

 

Hunter: oh man she really does know everything

 

Melinda: What is it with you guys and thinking I’m all-knowing???

 

Fennec: Well you see.

 

Ben: Han if you put any more ‘flavored’ pads in the basket i’m leaving you here

 

Ben: you’ll just have to survive off of flavored pads for the rest of your life

 

Han: Well at least I’ll only have to last until I get stabbed.

 

Luke: HEY WAIT COME BACK WE NEED YOU

 

Quinlan: YEAH YOU’RE LITERALLY OUR ONLY BRAIN CELL

 

Quinlan: YOU AND MAUL AND HE LEFT TO GO PICK OUT MAKEUP

 

Ben: no i’m going to go help with the toaster

 

Ben: i don’t want any part in this any more

 

Obi-Wan: well then what are we supposed to do

 

Ben: text everyone back at the compounds or something

 

Obi-Wan: BUT YOU’RE OUR GUIDE

 

Ben: I have reached my limit for dealing with Han for today.

 

Hunter: Hey Din, this toaster looks like you!

 

Din: please stop saying that every time we pass a metal toaster

 

Ben: Or maybe I’ll go help Fennec and Maul in the makeup aisle

 

Hunter: All I’m saying is, it looks like it’s made out of beskar

 

Hunter: It has a stripe across the middle that looks like your visor

 

Hunter: And it—

 

Fennec: Hey what’s the last one

 

Fennec: I wanna hear why this toaster looks like Din

 

Padmé: Hey are you guys okay down there?

 

Maul: oh hey padmé

 

Maul: i forgot you were here

 

Padmé: I’m trying to get more food and make the most of our time here.

 

Padmé: Unlike the rest of you.

 

Quinlan: I beg to differ

 

Quinlan: I’m making some memories that will last quite a long time.

 

Quinlan: Like Anakin and his secret agent pads.

 

Padmé: …

 

Padmé: So anyways, should I be concerned that Din and Hunter just froze?

 

Fennec: Froze?

 

Fennec: HEY DIN DID YOU GET TOO RUSTY

 

Fennec: I’M NOT POURING OIL ALL OVER YOU

 

Fennec: ACTUALLY WAIT THAT WOULD BE FUN SO I PROBABLY WOULD

 

Fennec: oh wait. i know what this is.

 

Fennec: Padmé. Is there a child nearby?

 

Padmé: uhhhh

 

Padmé: Yes?

 

Fennec: Where are the child’s parents?

 

Padmé: I dunno???

 

Fennec: oh no. i know exactly what this is.

 

Fennec: Mandalorian Instant Dad Mode

 

Luke: Mandalorian…what?

 

Din: FOUNDLING

 

Hunter: FOUNDLING

 

Din: FOUNDLING

 

Hunter: FOUNDLINGGGGGG

 

Fennec: Brace yourselves.

 

Maul: well there goes our last brain cell.

Notes:

Credit for the Din-and-Hunter-and-their-foundlings idea goes to CT-9906! Thank you for this epically chaotic suggestion :)

Chapter 58: Mandalorian Instant Parent Mode

Notes:

I just realized that this draft didn’t post…oops

Oh well, here’s your new dose of Star Wars chaos… just a few days late, apologies!

Chapter Text

Padmé: Would…anyone like to explain what’s going on?

 

Fennec: I just did.

 

Padmé: that made no sense

 

Fennec: don’t worry, you’ll understand soon

 

Din: MY FOUNDLING

 

Hunter:

 

Hunter: i’m sorry

 

Hunter: what

 

Hunter: MY FOUNDLING

 

Din: NO

 

Din: MINE

 

Maul: None of us are going to stop this, right?

 

Ben: I’m done. You guys can.

 

Anakin: I conveniently remembered I have to get chocolate for Jyn

 

Fennec: Makeup

 

Obi-Wan: I… don’t want to be a part of whatever that is.

 

Padmé: …

 

Padmé: Well too bad.

 

Padmé: You owe me from earlier. I had to chase you through the entire store just to stop you from fighting.

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Obi-Wan: okay fine, i kind of deserve it

 

Hunter: I SAW IT FIRST

 

Din: NO I DID

 

Obi-Wan: Actually nevermind. 

 

Padmé: Nope, too late.

 

Padmé: EVERYONE BETTER BE AT THE CHECKOUT LINE BY THE TIME WE’RE DONE WITH THIS

 

Luke: can i go hide in the bus

 

Fennec: Nope

 

Luke: please?

 

Fennec: No

 

Maul: come on fennec, he’s literally the most innocent person here

 

Maul: just let him go back to the bus

 

Fennec: no you don’t understand

 

Fennec: he literally can’t go hide in the bus

 

Ezra: What did you do now?

 

Fennec: so i uh

 

Fennec: i might’ve left the keys in the bus

 

Ezra: YOU WHAT

 

Fennec: IT’S FINE I CAN JUST BREAK US IN

 

Fennec: PADMÉ JUST SAID I’M NOT ALLOWED TO TEACH HER KIDS ANYTHING ILLEGAL

 

Fennec: not that leia needs me to teach her anything illegal 👀 but luke is a cinnamon roll so

 

Luke: i’m gonna go hide in a wheelybox

 

Ezra: …You do that.

 

Han: i’m coming with you

 

Han: less chance of getting stabbed

 

Ezra: …

 

Ben: is he ever going to get over that

 

Maul: Nope.

 

Maul: getting stabbed is something you don’t really forget

 

Fennec: Mood

 

Melinda: Do I want to know the context for all of those?

 

Fennec: nope

 

Maul: I got cut in half by a teenager!

 

Melinda:

 

Melinda: have you ever considered becoming a secret agent?

 

Maul: Well I kind of am

 

Obi-Wan: He’s a secret agent for evil

 

Padmé: Guys, they’re not doing anything

 

Padmé: They’re just staring at this little kid and…nope that’s all they’re doing

 

Hunter: mine

 

Din: mine

 

Padmé: Oh and also that

 

Obi-Wan: What if…what if he’s BOTH of yours?

 

Luke: Is this how being a Jedi works?

 

Obi-Wan: Uh…

 

Obi-Wan: Sometimes, yeah.

 

Din: No. My foundling.

 

Hunter: YOU COULDN’T EVEN TAKE CARE OF YOUR FIRST ONE

 

Din:

 

Din: oh

 

Din: is that how this is going to go

 

Din: WELL AT LEAST MINE WASN’T CAPTURED BY FENNEC

 

Din: THE IDIOT WHO CAN’T EVEN DRIVE A BUS

 

Fennec: HEY

 

Fennec: I CAN DRIVE

 

Ben: i don’t want to be a part of this, but no, you cannot drive

 

Fennec: Alright that’s it, I’m leaving all of you here

 

Fennec: except for padmé and luke because i’m not allowed to be mean to them

 

Fennec: and maybe anakin cause i want to see jyn murder him

 

Padmé: GUYS YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW IF THE KID’S PARENTS WOULD BE OKAY WITH THIS

 

Padmé: YOU’RE GOING TO GET ARRESTED

 

Hunter: PADMÉ IT’S A FOUNDLING

 

Padmé: NO

 

Din: CAN WE KEEP IT

 

Padmé: ALSO NO

 

Padmé: even dealing with the senate wasn’t this bad

 

Quinlan: I don’t know, this is a lot more entertaining

 

Obi-Wan: quinlan i don’t think you ever showed up for a senate meeting

 

Quinlan: Yes but what Senate meeting ended with a custody battle in the toaster aisle?

 

Ezra: So is the kid also standing there or

 

Obi-Wan: Yep.

 

Obi-Wan: He probably knows exactly what’s about to happen.

 

Din: KID

 

Din: KID ARE YOU LOST

 

Melinda: What did he say?

 

Maul: It just occurred to me that we have a government agent here, and that she is at least a hundred times more qualified for this than a sad Mandalorian and an enhanced clone.

 

Melinda: no

 

Melinda: no way

 

Melinda: i’m not dealing with kids

 

Fennec: Great, welcome to the peanut gallery.

 

Han: the…what?

 

Fennec: Doesn’t matter, you’re a part of it.

 

Ezra: Hey guys where’s Anakin?

 

Quinlan: oh you’re right, he hasn’t sent anything stupid or whiny in a while

 

Quinlan: ANAKIN

 

Anakin: YEAH?

 

Quinlan: ARE YOU STILL ALIVE OVER THERE?

 

Anakin: YEAH

 

Quinlan: ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL

 

Anakin: NO

 

Maul: ….

 

Maul: i don’t trust that

 

Ezra: Yeah that’s fair

 

Luke: Someone should go check on him.

 

Melinda: Like I said, I’m not dealing with kids.

 

Maul:

 

Maul: we’re keeping her

 

Fennec: oh definitely

 

Fennec: So who’s checking on Anakin while our handful of brain cells are either freaking out over a youngling or trying to negotiate a deal between the first ones?

 

Quinlan: …

 

Quinlan: i might know someone

 

Ben: oh not again

 

Ben: please stop looking at me

 

Ben: …i’m never going one of these trips again

Chapter 59: Don’t Mess With Padmé Amidala

Chapter Text

Fennec: padmé i hear screaming

 

Fennec: what is going on down there

 

Padmé: They’re attempting to talk to the kid.

 

Padmé: I can’t even describe what’s going on here

 

Anakin: DIN DO YOU NEED SOME CHOCOLATE TOO

 

Quinlan: Chocolate may be enough to stop Jyn.

 

Quinlan: But I don’t think this situation can be salvaged at all.

 

Anakin: well i want more chocolate so i’m getting him some and if he doesn’t want it i’m eating it

 

Ben: Asajj is texting

 

Quinlan: oh no

 

Ben: She wants chocolate too. Preferably dark.

 

Anakin: Okay she can have chocolate too.

 

Han: can i have chocolate

 

Anakin: yeah sure

 

Din: Padmé, you can’t just make us leave this poor little foundling here.

 

Padmé: i’m not saying leave the kid i’m saying turn him over to the people who work here

 

Hunter: You want us to…get rid of…a foundling?

 

Ezra: Oh great. They’ve both adopted the kid.

 

Ezra: This really can’t get any worse.

 

Padmé: Guys, the kid’s parents are probably just around the corner looking for him…

 

Din: Hey kid, do you wanna learn how to use a jetpack

 

Fennec: Oh, this should be interesting

 

Ezra: This is usually when Padmé steps in

 

Ezra: And means business.

 

Hunter: NO I WANT TO TEACH HIM

 

Din: I’M THE MANDALORIAN IT’S MY DUTY

 

Hunter: HEY KID HOW ABOUT YOU LEARN CLONE FIGHTING TECHNIQUES

 

Din: YES TEACH HIM THE OUTDATED, EASILY BESTED WAYS OF THE CLONE TROOPERS

 

Hunter: EASILY BESTED? YOU WANNA TEST THAT?

 

Padmé: OH FOR FORCE’S SAKES STOP ARGUING IN FRONT OF THE KID

 

Din: sorry

 

Hunter: yeah sorry padmé

 

Din: So… you want to learn about jetpacks?

 

Padmé: Somebody responsible go find the kid’s parents.

 

Padmé: Obi-Wan, it’s your turn to be productive.

 

Obi-Wan: If I have to…

 

Obi-Wan: Who can connect me to the store’s overhead speaker system?

 

Fennec: ME

 

Obi-Wan: great

 

Obi-Wan: HELLO, WOULD THE PARENTS OF THE LOST YOUNGLING IN THE TOASTER AISLE PLEASE COME COLLECT THEIR CHILD

 

Obi-Wan: PREFERABLY BEFORE THE MANDALORIAN AND THE CLONE TROOPER START DUELING FOR WHO GETS TO ADOPT SAID YOUNGLING

 

Obi-Wan: ALSO IF YOU SEE A LOST ANAKIN PLEASE RETURN HIM TO US, HE’S IN THE CHOCOLATE AISLE AND WE CAN’T LEAVE HIM ALONE FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES OR HE’LL DO SOMETHING STUPID

 

Ben: it’s fine, i’ll go get anakin

 

Ben: i wouldn’t wish him on any of these people

 

Ben: except for all of you

 

Luke: Even me? 🥺

 

Ben:

 

Ben: I don’t even want to go there.

 

Anakin: Does this look like enough chocolate?

 

Padmé: Obi-Wan, can you repeat your announcement?

 

Obi-Wan: Sure

 

Ben: …That’s probably enough.

 

Padmé: Oh no.

 

Padmé: How bad is it?

 

Ezra: Not that bad, actually.

 

Fennec: That’s a first.

 

Anakin: i’d rather not die today, thanks

 

Quinlan: So we can get Anakin to act serious by threatening him with Jyn. Got it.

 

Melinda: Does this happen often?

 

Fennec: Jyn threatening people? Yeah.

 

Fennec: Jyn threatening Anakin? Also yeah.

 

Fennec: Anakin being responsible? You just experienced a once-in-a-lifetime event.

 

Padmé: LOOK GUYS THE KID’S PARENTS ARE HERE

 

Padmé: PLEASE TURN THE FOUNDLING OVER TO THE CHILD’S ACTUAL PARENTS

 

Din: please can we keep him

 

Hunter: pleeeeeeease

 

Padmé: i want to go home and pretend this never happened

 

Fennec: But it did.

 

Padmé: …Thanks Fennec.

 

Padmé: Look, go talk to the kid’s parents or something. I’m going to get more oranges for Evaan.

 

Padmé: Everyone else better be at checkout before I get there or you’re going to regret it.

 

Han:

 

Han: luke how is it that you’re related to her

 

Luke: i don’t know

 

Luke: is it possible that i got no genes from either of my parents?

 

Ezra: In the Skywalker family? Yes.

 

Hunter: GUYS GUESS WHAT

 

Hunter: WE MADE A DEAL

 

Din: WE GET TO BE THE KID’S UNCLES

 

Din: AND OCCASIONALLY TEACH HIM WEAPONS

 

Hunter: AS LONG AS IT’S SAFE

 

Maul: i honestly did not see that one coming

 

Maul: DOES HE WANT LIGHTSABER TRAINING

 

Melinda: yeah you’re definitely the best aliens we’ve dealt with

 

Melinda: at least you guys aren’t trying to take over the world

 

Quinlan: Nope, just Duolingo.

 

Obi-Wan: If we’re going to train the kid to use a lightsaber then I wouldn’t choose Maul to do it but ok

 

Obi-Wan: You know, since he was defeated by a teenager.

 

Maul:

 

Maul: that was a cheap move

 

Padmé: NO FIGHTING, I’M HEADING TO THE CHECKOUT

 

Anakin: oh no

 

Quinlan: RUN ANAKIN RUN

 

Anakin: I’M RUNNING

 

Luke: I’m in the checkout area

 

Luke: where is everyone

 

Maul: Literally the complete opposite end of the checkout area

 

Luke: oh

 

Quinlan: RUN LUKE RUN

 

Quinlan: hey maybe you did get some genes from your parents

 

Padmé: I CAN SEE THE CHECKOUT AREA, YOU ALL BETTER BE THERE

 

Din: uh oh

 

Din: Well, we’ll see you soon kid!

 

Din: For now, here’s your first lesson on jetpacks.

 

Hunter: HEY HE’S CHEATING

 

Melinda: isn’t he the responsible one?

 

Quinlan: i think we may have broken din

 

Ben: i think so

 

Din: I'M NOT LATE

 

Maul: No. No you aren’t.

 

Ben: time to get kicked out of yet another store

 

Hunter: I MADE IT

 

Hunter: JUST IN TIME

 

Padmé: Alright, who’s ready for checkout?

 

Padmé: …I don’t even want to know why half of what’s in that basket is in that basket.

Chapter 60: Checkout (ft. …Ezra’s ex???)

Notes:

Apologies for the late chapter! Had to write a couple of reports last week that threw off my writing schedule. Expect the next chapter Sunday or Monday!

Chapter Text

Padmé: ALL OF YOU MOVE

 

Padmé: there is not nearly enough room for all of us to fit in this checkout lane

 

Fennec: we’ve done worse

 

Padmé: That’s not reassuring.

 

Fennec: oh i know

 

Ezra: are you sure we need that many pads

 

Melinda: Think about it this way.

 

Melinda: The more you buy now, the longer it will be before you have to do this again.

 

Ben: in that case we should probably get more

 

Obi-Wan: Let’s just get out of here before Din and Hunter find another youngling

 

Din: f o u n d l i n g

 

Hunter: a n o t h e r    t i n y    r e c r u i t

 

Padmé: NO.

 

Padmé: at least wait a few days please

 

Quinlan: She’s learning to ask for the bare minimum.

 

Ezra: Does this mean we can get away with more stupid stuff?

 

Padmé: NO

 

Padmé: It means they get more leniency because they’re less likely to abuse it

 

Han: too many fancy words i’m not listening to that

 

Padmé: See this is exactly what I mean

 

Din: Hunter, you have the toaster right?

 

Hunter: i got the one that looks like you

 

Din:

 

Din: Excellent.

 

Padmé: Okay everyone move, I need to pay for this stuff

 

Fennec: We have another problem.

 

Obi-Wan: yeah ezra is just staring at the guy running the checkout

 

Obi-Wan: i mean it’s probably not every day you see a blue person on earth but i feel like ezra should be used to this

 

Ezra: blue man

 

Ezra: he followed me

 

Quinlan: Do we want to know who ‘blue man’ is?

 

Anakin: BLUE MAN

 

Anakin: HI BLUE MAN

 

Anakin: ARE YOU EZRA’S FRIEND

 

Ben: i knew he’d been quiet for too long

 

Ezra: We… are NOT friends.

 

Anakin: OH

 

Anakin: ARE YOU EZRA’S EX?

 

Maul: that was definitely the next most logical answer

 

Fennec: Łôgïç

 

Quinlan: just out of curiosity, how many hours of sleep have you gotten in the past week?

 

Anakin: uhhhhh… you know what, too many numbers

 

Maul: A normal amount

 

Maul: probably

 

Maul: normal for me

 

Ezra: I was sleeping great until this guy decided to haunt my nightmares

 

Ben: imagine not being constantly haunted by the ghosts of your past

 

Fennec: imagine not just being the ghosts yourself 💅

 

Quinlan: Well I was asking Fennec but there’s my answer I guess-

 

Melinda: socks

 

Luke: w-what?

 

Melinda: *I need to get socks

 

Melinda: I’ll be right back

 

Melinda: Don’t burn the place down

 

Maul:

 

Anakin: What are you all looking at me for?

 

Maul: I wonder why.

 

Anakin: Exactly.

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: time for another ted talk

 

Fennec: intro to sarcasm

 

Quinlan: So Ezra are you going to introduce us to your ex or are you two just going to stare angrily at each other until Melinda gets back with her socks?

 

Ezra: he’s not my ex

 

Quinlan: Ahhh

 

Quinlan: Still dragging out the relationship then?

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: no- why-

 

Ezra: we’re not dating

 

Ben: so you’re still in the denial stage?

 

Ben: i’d offer you tips but honestly i’m not sure how we got past it

 

Obi-Wan: I can’t believe you’re our relationship expert

 

Ben: i can’t either

 

Ben: because i’m not

 

Maul: Just let him do it.

 

Maul: It’s better than putting Anakin in charge of being the relationship expert

 

Anakin: I’m not that bad at being in a relationship!

 

Din: “I don’t like sand”

 

Anakin: ONE TIME

 

Anakin: IT WAS ONE TIME

 

Anakin: CAN WE LET THAT GO

 

Luke: i hope i didn’t get my flirting skills from my dad

 

Obi-Wan: You’re not supposed to NEED flirting skills, Luke.

 

Obi-Wan: You’re a Jedi.

 

Quinlan: so what do you call 90% of what you say to ventress?

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Obi-Wan: occupational hazards?

 

Ben: Occupational hazards is losing a hand, not flirting

 

Quinlan: No, losing a hand is a weird Skywalker tradition you guys have.

 

Quinlan: Flirting is breaking the Jedi Code!

 

Obi-Wan: No, flirting is a distraction tactic!

 

Fennec: A distraction tactic is blowing up a building!

 

Din: Fennec, that’s  a r s o n

 

Din: That’s  i l l e g a l

 

Din: A distraction tactic is sending you and Cara to go beat up stormtroopers.

 

Fennec: No, that’s a hobby!

 

Maul: What’s a hobby?

 

Anakin: Breaking the Jedi Code.

 

Melinda: I got socks.

 

Melinda: …That’s a lot of lightsabers pointed in a lot of directions.

 

Luke: Why are you pointing one at me, I didn’t say anything!

 

Maul: yeah but i have two blades

 

Ben: Efficient. I like it.

 

Ezra: Does a blaster built into the lightsaber count as a second weapon?

 

Fennec: Ooh, two for one.

 

Padmé: …

 

Padmé: can we please just pay

 

Ezra: NO

 

Ezra: NOT UNTIL I VANQUiSH THRAWN

 

Ezra: AND FIND OUT WHY HE’S WORKING AT SAFEWAY

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: definitely exes

Chapter 61: Checking Out (of reality, at this point)

Notes:

sometimes i hesitate to call myself a writer, not because i believe fanfiction isn’t a real type of writing (it most definitely is!) but because saying yes inevitably leads to “oh, what do you write?” and honestly guys, how do i explain to a normal person that some of my most popular fics on ao3 are an over-100 chapter comedy with a subplot about nutella and a romance story with necromancy?

and, you know…

*this*

Chapter Text

Din: can we at least add him to prevent…whatever this is?

 

Ezra: no

 

Ezra: he cannot be trusted

 

Din: neither can half of us

 

Anakin added Ezra’s Ex

 

Anakin: Hey

 

Ezra’s Ex: Who are all of you?

 

Ezra’s Ex: More rebels???

 

Ezra’s Ez:

 

Ezra’s Ex: Change my name at once.

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: No, I don’t think I will

 

Anakin: So you guys are still dating then?

 

Ezra’s Ex: You told them we were dating?!

 

Ezra: NO

 

Ezra: THEY JUST DECIDED WE WERE

 

Ezra’s Ex: Good

 

Ezra’s Ex: You’d better not be going around telling people I’m your ex

 

Ezra: I wasn’t!

 

Ezra: Why would I ever date you in the first place???

 

Padmé: Unresolved romantic problems aside…

 

Padmé: Can you ring us up or are we going to have to get your boss involved?

 

Fennec:

 

Melinda:

 

Hunter:

 

Ezra: just do it man you don’t want to mess with her

 

Ezra: i wouldn’t wish that kind of wrath even on you

 

Ezra’s Ex: Change my name first.

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: i have dealt with too much today

 

Padmé: i have nearly been killed by fennec’s driving skills

 

Padmé: i have been forced to hear about secret agent pads

 

Padmé: i have had to prevent a mandalorian and a clone trooper from adopting a random child

 

Padmé: i have had to deal with all of these idiots

 

Padmé: and also melinda

 

Melinda: hey thanks

 

Padmé: just ring up the goods already and let me go home, for force’s sakes

 

Ezra’s Ex:

 

Quinlan: Seriously man, don’t mess with her

 

Ezra’s Ex: please just change my name i’ve been working retail for three weeks now i deserve a break

 

Din:

 

Din: Someone is going to die if I don’t step in, aren’t they?

 

Ben: That’s usually what happens, yes.

 

Din: What’s your name?

 

Ezra’s Ex: Thrawn.

 

Ezra: Don’t worry Din, I’ve got it

 

Ezra: You can text now

 

Thrawn (derogatory): Excellent

 

Thrawn (derogatory): …

 

Thrawn (derogatory): I don’t appreciate this childish humor, Bridger.

 

Din: …i’ll fix it.

 

Thrawn: Thank you.

 

Thrawn: I’ve decided I like the Mandalorian.

 

Thrawn: The rest of you, though…

 

Thrawn: Jury’s still out

 

Padmé: Are you ready to do your actual job now?

 

Fennec: Padmé is done putting up with us guys

 

Fennec: nobody’s allowed to do anything stupid on the way home

 

Maul: Guess that means you won’t be driving then.

 

Fennec:

 

Luke: ooooooooo

 

Luke: t o a s t e d

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: did you even pay attention to my ted talk

 

Fennec: It’s ROASTED, idiot

 

Quinlan: It’s fine, he’s Anakin’s kid.

 

Fennec: And Padmé’s!

 

Fennec: That has to give him SOME brain cells

 

Luke:

 

Thrawn: So…are you guys gonna give me that basket or am I supposed to charge you for air?

 

Thrawn: and also that pair of fuzzy socks

 

Melinda: Hey, I’m allowed to buy myself nice things occasionally.

 

Obi-Wan: Who has the basket?

 

Ben: here.

 

Thrawn: This is… a lot.

 

Maul: And?

 

Din: please no lightsabers

 

Din: we are packed in wayyyy too tightly to be using lightsabers

 

Din: especially if they have two blades

 

Thrawn: you guys know you can just bulk buy this stuff right

 

Quinlan: rey told us to go here

 

Quinlan: jyn was threatening us

 

Quinlan: we didn’t really have time to put together a better plan

 

Padmé: Please just ring us up, there’s more of us at home and I need to get back to make sure they haven’t blown anything up in the time they’ve been left unsupervised

 

Din: well they’ve been left unsupervised for a lot longer than ten seconds so i’d say there’s a pretty good chance that the only thing left untouched is Rose’s bedroom

 

Din: and that’s just because everyone gets along with her and also doesn’t want to risk her anger or disappointment

 

Ben: honestly i’m not sure which is worse

 

Anakin: Hey, Ezra’s Ex, do you wanna come back to live with us?

 

Ezra: NO

 

Ezra: ABSOLUTELY NOT

 

Thrawn: 

 

Thrawn: That depends

 

Thrawn: On one hand, it would make Ezra angry, and I like that

 

Thrawn: How many rebels do you have back at your house?

 

Thrawn: also bedrooms, because i’m not sharing with an idiot like bridger

 

Luke: I think we’re mostly rebels

 

Obi-Wan: We have a bunch of Jedi Order people.

 

Obi-Wan: A surprising amount of criminals, too.

 

Hunter: A couple clones

 

Maul: I’m a Sith

 

Ben: there’s a lot of resistance people

 

Ben: and skywalkers

 

Ben: so many skywalkers

 

Padmé: Not a lot of responsible people, though.

 

Padmé: Which is probably because there’s a lot of Skywalkers

 

Luke:

 

Fennec: Speaking of Skywalkers, where’s Anakin?

 

Anakin: Hey

 

Fennec: oh hey

 

Fennec: what were you doing on the floor?

 

Anakin: they have candy

 

Anakin: and i think we should get some for jyn

 

Ben: we…definitely have enough to stop her from killing you

 

Maul: we have enough to put half the compounds in a sugar coma

 

Fennec: No way

 

Fennec: Have you seen how much stupid stuff we can survive?

 

Fennec: A little sugar doesn’t stand a chance

 

Hunter: also i think you underestimate the amount of people in the compounds

 

Hunter: that could put maybe three people in a sugar coma

 

Hunter: four if they were tiny like luke

 

Luke:

 

Luke: why is everyone insulting me

 

Maul: You’re just so innocent and insult-able!

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: thrawn please check out faster

Chapter 62: Checking Out (for good this time)

Notes:

Yes, I know, three ‘check out’ puns in a row, not exactly smooth… xD

Chapter Text

Thrawn: Alright, now pay and get out of here before you get me fired!

 

Padmé: Believe me, all I want to do is get out of here.

 

Anakin: So you’ll at least come visit us, right?

 

Thrawn: …

 

Din: All visitors have been officially banned from bringing lightsabers to the compounds, by the way.

 

Hunter: Like that will stop them.

 

Din: You’re supposed to be on my side!

 

Hunter: i am but this is just common knowledge

 

Fennec: Alright, everyone back to the bus!

 

Anakin: You should visit on Tuesdays, that’s my day off!

 

Thrawn: We shall…keep in touch.

 

Obi-Wan: Anakin, you have his number now

 

Obi-Wan: You can invite him anytime you want.

 

Din: Okay, not ANY time you want—

 

Fennec: TO THE BUS OR WE’RE LEAVING WITHOUT YOU 

 

Luke: what if i’d rather go back with someone who won’t insult me the whole time???

 

Ben: too bad

 

Ben: you’re a skywalker

 

Ben: you just have to deal with it

 

Maul: Plus we need someone to carry all this

 

Ezra: So is Melinda coming with us or…

 

Melinda: Oh, no. I have to get back to work.

 

Melinda: My boss did have something for you guys, though.

 

Melinda: I’ll go grab it from the bus.

 

Thrawn: Ma’am? As an employee of this business I have to inform you that you’re not allowed to trade illegal goods on the premises.

 

Han:

 

Han: guys

 

Han: he changed

 

Quinlan: It’s called Customer Service Mode.

 

Quinlan: it’s too late to stop it

 

Quinlan: thrawn’s already been corrupted

 

Obi-Wan: Excellent. Is this one more or less destructive than Mandalorian Instant Parent Mode?

 

Quinlan: He’ll only attack when provoked, don’t worry.

 

Obi-Wan: Han, don’t provoke him!

 

Quinlan: oh, we’re talking about han? well then he’s definitely going to attack.

 

Maul: Hey Thrawn, would you happen to be related to that guy standing over there?

 

Maul: the clueless one in the vest

 

Ben: do we really need to bring this up again

 

Din: Can we appreciate that everyone knows exactly what’s going on here… except for Han?

 

Din: and, you know, the guy we just met

 

Din: but you think han would’ve figured it out by now

 

Maul: Nope. We’re just going to be locked in this painful cycle until we return to our timelines.

 

Ezra: Maybe he’s just in daniel?

 

Fennec:

 

Ezra: denial

 

Fennec:

 

Ezra: DENIAL I MEANT DENIAL JUST LEAVE ME ALONE

 

Ezra: HOW ABOUT I MAKE YOU FIGHT THE GUY YOU THOUGHT YOU’D GOTTEN RID OF FOR THE LAST TIME

 

Ben: been there, done that

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: i don’t even want to know

 

Quinlan: If it’s a future kid, you usually don’t.

 

Thrawn: can somebody remove me from this chat

 

Thrawn: i don’t need a play-by-play of you guys going home

 

Hunter: Oh yeah sure

 

Hunter removed Thrawn

 

Fennec: Perfect

 

Fennec: Now that he’s gone…

 

Fennec: What kind of illegal goods are we talking here, Melinda?

 

Melinda: I’m a government agent.

 

Melinda: I can’t give people in government custody illegal goods.

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: kriff i knew it sounded too good to be true

 

Melinda: Our boss was just cleaning out our home base and he thought you guys would like this thing.

 

Padmé: Fennec can you unlock the bus, I’m gonna go put this stuff away

 

Fennec: funny story about that

 

Fennec: i might’ve left the keys in the bus

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: you what

 

Fennec: It’s fine, I know how to kick down doors!

 

Padmé: …

 

Padmé: I’m going to go kick down the door and put this stuff away.

 

Obi-Wan: Let me just say that was not what I expected to hear.

 

Hunter: Are we doing it?? Are we corrupting Padmé Amidala?

 

Padmé: First rule of getting involved in dangerous politics?

 

Padmé: Always have an exit plan.

 

Ben: do you…need help carrying those…or…

 

Padmé: Nah I’ve got this.

 

Din: I would like to make an observation that will probably cause Anakin to try to kill me.

 

Din: Somebody please distract him for a minute.

 

Fennec: It’s fine, he’s helping Melinda find whatever she’s giving us.

 

Din: Excellent.

 

Obi-Wan: First of all, before Din says anything, now that Anakin’s  gone how is everyone else enjoying the high ground?

 

Quinlan: 👀

 

Ezra: It’s GREAT

 

Ezra: He doesn’t know what he’s missing out on.

 

Obi-Wan: Exactly!

 

Obi-Wan: Anyways, Din what were you saying?

 

Din: why are all the skywalker women so powerful and then the skywalker guys are…

 

Din: *gestures vaguely at anakin*

 

Luke: Hey!

 

Luke: I’m a Skywalker and I’m not…uh…*gestures vaguely at Anakin*

 

Ezra: I beg to differ—

 

Fennec: then beg.

 

Hunter:

 

Hunter: Fennec you weren’t even a part of this discussion.

 

Fennec: Yes I know.

 

Anakin: HEY GUYS LOOK WHAT MELINDA GOT US

 

Fennec: IS IT SPICE

 

Melinda:

 

Melinda: I think you’ll find it’s better than spice, but I’ve also never tried spice, so…

 

Hunter: it’s perfect 🥺

 

Han: You don’t even know what it is.

 

Hunter: Look at thing and tell me it’s not perfect.

 

Obi-Wan: It looks like somebody squashed Artoo

 

Quinlan: Can I stand on it?

 

Padmé: I… don’t even want to know what it is.

 

Maul: It’s a metal circle!

 

Melinda: It’s called a Roomba.

 

Melinda: Anyway, I have to get back to work.

 

Melinda: Enjoy the Roomba.

 

Melinda: Don’t crash the bus again, we just got a call from the junkyard owner complaining about a missing bus.

 

Fennec: Only one?

 

Melinda: …bye.

 

Fennec: Bye!

 

Fennec: Thanks for the Room Circle!

 

Luke: I’m naming him Walter!

 

Maul: absolutely not

Din: Can this wait until Padmé and Ahsoka come back from work?

 

Jyn: absolutely not

 

Jyn: I HAVE DISCOVERED A HOLIDAY

 

Cara: ooh

 

Hunter: I’m intrigued.

 

Jyn: You dress up in costumes and terrorize people!

 

Maul:

 

Maul: so like

 

Maul: anakin’s entire job?

 

Jyn: i mean when you put it that way, yeah

 

Anakin: I like this holiday already.

 

Cara: Hmm…what’s it called?

 

Jyn: Halloween!

 

Fennec: hall of what now

 

Cara: It’s a holiday where we get to steal Anakin’s job!

 

Fennec: I heard stealing, I’m in.

 

Evaan: Is it like Life Day?

 

Rey: please no

 

Rey: i just had the weirdest life day this past year

 

Finn: oh yeah that was… interesting

 

Jyn: You dress up in costumes and watch scary holos and go around asking people for candy!

 

Quinlan: I like this already.

 

Fennec: CAN I DRESS UP AS EZRA’S EX

 

Jyn: ABSOLUTELY

 

Ezra: NO

 

Ezra: ABSOLUTELY NOT

 

Anakin: So you admit it! He’s your ex!

 

Ezra: NO TO THAT AS WELL

 

Anakin: Too late :)

 

Jyn: Anakin can I borrow your bird costume?

 

Hunter: Din you should dress up as our toaster!

 

Poe: The one that blew up or the one you guys just got?

 

Din: Neither.

 

Hunter: Come on, you already mostly look like it!

 

Quinlan: I’m gonna be that evil clown overlord that ahsoka works for

 

Asajj: see, for a minute there i thought you were talking about anakin

 

Fennec:

 

Anakin:

 

Fennec: roasted

 

Ezra: i’m dressing as luke and walking around yelling “toasted” at people

 

Luke: Can we please stop talking about that?

 

Ezra: No way

 

Cara: I’ll be the pieces of the Razor Crest.

 

Din:

 

Din: wow cara real sensitive

 

Fennec: RIP the Razor Crest

 

Din: Aww thanks Fennec that’s really nice for you—

 

Fennec: may it rest in pieces over there, and over there

 

Din:

 

Fennec: and over there.

 

Din: i’m leaving

 

Asajj: I’m dressing as the Bad Batch, who’s with me?

 

Zorii: Absolutely.

 

Wrecker: wow i’m honored

 

Luke: I’ll do it!

 

Zorii: tech can i dress up as you

 

Tech: Uh

 

Tech: Sure?

 

Anakin: Maybe I’ll dress up as me…but evil!

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: you know, for some reason i don’t think that’s a good idea

 

Leia: I KNOW

 

Leia: I’M DRESSING UP AS A SEAGULL

 

Obi-Wan: it’s official, leia got some genes from anakin.

 

Luke: PLEASE NO NOT THE SEAGULLS

 

Leia: BEWARE LUKE

 

Luke: NOOO

 

Cara: I think I like this holiday very much.

Chapter Text

Din: So…half of us are going to trick-or-treat while the other half gives out treats??

 

Din: And then we switch?

 

Jyn: Yep.

 

Ezra: What are we supposed to give out?

 

Ezra: we have maybe a few bars of chocolate, some canned soup, mac n cheese mix, and some fruits Padmé bought the other day.

 

Jyn: uhh…

 

Rey: i found some cool rocks

 

Asajj:

 

Asajj: I like this idea.

 

Fennec: fennec approved ✅

 

Din: New plan: give out whatever you have on hand.

 

Fennec: I’m not saying Melinda gave me some old pairs of socks…

 

Maul: but we’re getting socks.

 

Cara: Excellent.

 

Anakin: most of you will be getting slices of bread and that is a sacrifice i am willing to make

 

Anakin: except for fennec

 

Fennec:

 

Anakin: you get soggy bread

 

Fennec: awesome

 

Fennec: prepare to find it again at a random time, probably squished into your lightsaber hilt

 

Poe: What are we supposed to dress up as?

 

Jyn: anything you want

 

Din: So you guys are going to dress up as whatever you want, and then give each other whatever you want?

 

Din: And you expect this to end well?

 

Asajj: Nope!

 

Asajj: it’ll be funny though

 

Fennec: GUYS

 

Fennec: WAIT

 

Fennec: WE CAN TRICK-OR-TREAT WHEREVER MELINDA LIVES

 

Din: please no field trips today

 

***

*timeskip of a few hours, I don’t know how else to write it*

 

Jyn: EVERYBODY READY?

 

Cassian: for someone who basically causes destructive chaos for a living, you never fail to surprise me with how quickly you can actually put things together

 

Quinlan: Are we sure she can actually put things together?

 

Ezra: yeah jyn seems like someone who couldn’t even put together an ikea table

 

Cassian: a what

 

Ezra: haha i know more about earth than you

 

Cassian: …

 

Cassian: stop bullying my girlfriend

 

Fennec: oh yeah? well stop bullying thrawn’s ex!

 

Cassian: i…wasn’t?

 

Ezra: HE’S NOT MY EX

 

Jyn: GUYS

 

Jyn: TRICK-OR-TREAT

 

Fennec: OH YEAH CANDY

 

Cara: everyone to your stations

 

Fennec: WHO WANTS SOCKS

 

Quinlan: I have… uh… individual playing cars and some envelopes

 

Poe: stop by me and finn if you want toilet paper

 

Obi-Wan: I’m so confused

 

Obi-Wan: Are you selling things or giving us treats?

 

Quinlan: It’s called ✨advertising✨

 

Anakin: OBI-WAN COME ON LET’S GET SOCKS

 

Obi-Wan: HEY WAIT I THOUGHT WE AGREED YOU’RE ON THE BOTTOM

 

Anakin: WE AGREED YOU’RE ON THE BOTTOM REMEMBER

 

Obi-Wan: NO

 

Fennec: What… what are you two even supposed to be?

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: oh right we only have three weapons

 

Anakin: rey give me your lightsaber

 

Rey: uhh… okay?

 

Anakin: We’re General Grievous,

 

Quinlan: OH SO THAT’S WHY YOU’RE RIDING AROUND ON OBI-WAN

 

Quinlan: THAT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE

 

Obi-Wan: What did you think we were?

 

Quinlan: uh…unimportant.

 

Anakin: THANKS FOR THE SOCKS FENNEC

 

Fennec: YEP

 

Hunter: Quinlan, the Bad Batch and I would like some playing cards.

 

Wrecker: actually i want an envelope

 

Hunter: The Bad Batch and I would like some playing cards and an envelope for Wrecker.

 

Quinlan: You guys are…blue and red dudes?

 

Tech: I told you this costume was most undignified.

 

Hunter: But you like it?

 

Tech: But I like it.

 

Echo: We’re the Spider-Man Pointing Meme.

 

Quinlan: i feel like i should’ve known that from the amount of memes anakin’s been showing me

 

Anakin: It’s an important part of Earth culture!

 

Ezra: Like Chipotle was?

 

Anakin: Exactly.

 

Cara: DO YOU GUYS LIKE MY COSTUME

 

Din: cara you duct taped spoons to yourself

 

Cara: I’m the pieces of the Razor Crest, remember?

 

Din:

 

Ezra: toasted

 

Luke: please stop.

Notes:

Expect more trick-or-treat chaos next chapter…any guesses for the others’ costumes?

Chapter 65: Halloween Special! (pt. 3)

Notes:

Are we still doing Halloween chapters over a week after Halloween? Looks like it.
Does the author even like Halloween? Honestly I’m pretty indifferent.
So am I just dragging out Halloween for no reason? Yes, pretty much.
Should I have made smarter decisions and started the Halloween special a lot earlier? And then planned it so it ended on actual Halloween? Definitely.

The good news is that next chapter will be the last Halloween chapter… and after that you all get to see what happens when Star Wars characters acquire a Roomba!

Chapter Text

Leia: GUYS LOOK I GOT CHOCOLATE

 

Leia: THAT’S THE FIRST PERSON WHO’S ACTUALLY GIVEN OUT CANDY

 

Padmé: oh no

 

Padmé: I’m only giving them out to the people with the best costumes!

Luke: LEAVE ME ALONE

 

Leia: MOM SAYS MY COSTUME LOOKS FINE

 

Padmé: LEIA STOP TRAUMATIZING YOUR BROTHER

 

Anakin: she takes after her father 🥹

Armitage: Roasted.

 

Ben: What?

 

Poe: scroll up

 

Poe: it’s brutal

 

Ben: oh

 

Padmé: Not emo then?

 

Poe: Well it makes more sense if you see the rest of us, but SOMEONE decided to run ahead…

 

Rey: Hey, you were all too scared to go past Leia and Luke!

 

Zorii: It’s called a self-preservation instinct.

 

Zorii: it’s not something i have, but kaydel does so it balances out

 

Padmé: Ohhhh so all of you are couples costumes!!

 

Padmé: Ok this will be fun, I want to guess them all.

 

Fennec: QUINLAN GIVE ME MY LEAF BACK

 

Quinlan: PLEASE FENNEC JUST TRADE WITH ME

 

Fennec: NO

 

Quinlan: I HAVE A RED LEAF, YOU CAN HAVE MY RED LEAF!!!

 

Fennec: NO I WANT MINE

 

Jyn: Who’s giving out leaves?

 

Hunter: That would be me.

 

Jyn: SAVE ONE FOR ME

Padmé: please just hold off on the chaos for five seconds i really want to try to guess these

 

Padmé: give me this small bit of happiness

 

Din: HEY GUYS NO MURDER FOR FIVE SECONDS OR PADMÉ WILL ANNIHILATE YOU

Zorii: Guess 😊

 

Padmé: OH IT’S KAYDEL ISN’T IT wait but…she’s a box???

 

Kaydel: She’s Tech and I’m a gonk droid!

 

Armitage: I told you stealing the laundry bins and tying them to yourself was a bad idea.

 

Kaydel: Hey, I got chocolate didn’t I?

 

Padmé: Poe… Road Work Ahe— THE MEME, YOU AND FINN ARE THAT ROAD WORK AHEAD MEME ANAKIN WON’T STOP SHOWING ME

 

Poe: Road work ahead???

 

Finn: Yeah, I sure hope it does!

 

Padmé: Rose is… a taco?

 

Rose: Yep!

 

Padmé: Who’s your partner?

 

Rose: well it was supposed to be armitage but he changed last minute

 

Rose: i can’t really be mad…just look at it…

 

Ben: …

Padmé: Jedi?

 

Padmé: OH I GOT IT

 

Padmé: Ben is a Jedi and Rey’s a Sith?

 

Ben: Yeah

 

Ben: Like she said, 5 minutes.

 

Rey: i’m just using this as an excuse to wear this sweater

 

Poe: They wouldn’t let me come up with a meme costume for them 😒

 

Zorii: That’s because your ideas were worse than Din’s sense of humor

 

Din: Hey!

 

Zorii: look me in the eye and tell me the last time you actually had fun

 

Din: …

 

Zorii: Exactly.

 

Ezra: HEY GUYS MURDER TIME

 

Quinlan: YESSSS FINALLY

 

Padmé: heY WAIT NO—

Chapter 66: Halloween Special! (pt. 4)

Notes:

This is officially going to be the second-to-last part of the Halloween Special… all apologies for dragging out spooky season over halfway into November… after next chapter we will be back to the regularly scheduled crack show!

On another note…. Execute Chapter 66…

Chapter Text

Fennec: OKAY EVERYBODY TO THE BUS

 

Fennec: NOW

 

Padmé: Hey wait I did not sanction any field trips for tonight!

 

Fennec: too bad

 

Cara: Well you didn’t sanction any of the other ones either!

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: True.

 

Din: Padmé, this field trip is happening whether or not you like it.

 

Din: if there’s one thing i’ve learned, it’s that there’s no stopping field trips.

 

Padmé: Also true.

 

Padmé: Alright fine, but EVERYBODY BETTER COME BACK IN ONE PIECE

 

Obi-Wan: I’m not carrying Anakin around for that long!

 

Padmé: …Fine, you guys can do two pieces.

 

Ezra: Is anyone going to ask where we’re going?

 

Cara: oh yeah i forgot about that

 

Zorii: Apparently not!

 

Ezra: ok well

 

Ezra: where are we going

 

Fennec: TO MELINDA’S HOUSE!!!

 

Fennec: WHICH IS ACTUALLY JUST ANOTHER GOVERNMENT BASE

 

Quinlan: MORE GOVERNMENT CHAOS

 

Padmé: NO MORE CHAOS

 

Padmé: I just had to watch Fennec Shand dressed as…honestly I don’t even know what she is… chase Quinlan dressed as Ahsoka’s clown boss with a knife.

 

Padmé: a BLOODY knife.

 

Padmé: Looking at you, Jyn.

 

Jyn: it’s not real blood, i promise

 

Din: somehow i find that hard to believe but ok

 

Fennec: I’m dressed as an agent of chaos.

 

Quinlan: I’m surprised you had to change anything about your normal clothes to achieve that.

 

Fennec: jyn i need the knife back

 

Jyn: NO I’M CUTTING A SANDWICH

 

Ezra: so are we going on a field trip or

 

Fennec: Oh yeah I forgot

 

Fennec: EVERYONE GET ON THE BUS IN FIVE MINUTES OR WE’RE DRAGGING YOU WITH US

 

Obi-Wan: What if I just… don’t go?

 

Fennec: oh no you don’t get a choice in the matter

 

Fennec: plus padmé says none of us are allowed to be left home alone after what happened at safeway *cough* anakin *cough*

 

Anakin: What happened at Safeway was entirely not my fault!

 

Jyn: hmmm whatever shall i use this knife for now that i’m done cutting this sandwich…

 

Anakin: on second thought, i’m just going to head out to the bus

 

Anakin: come on obi-wan let’s get on before all the seats are taken up

 

Obi-Wan: fine…

 

Poe: Hey the seating arrangement can’t be much worse than it was last time.

 

Ben: you had to bring it up?

 

Poe: Yes.

 

Armitage: Don’t worry I’ll fill in for Han.

 

Zorii:

 

Rose:

 

Mitaka: that doesn’t seem like the best idea considering what happened to han

 

Poe: So for safety reasons I will be collecting all of your weapons until trick-or-treat is over.

 

Rey: I don’t think that’s going to stop us but alright if it makes you feel better.

 

Poe: It does.

 

Din: Well…

 

Din: Looks like it’s time for Padmé’s second official field trip.

 

Padmé: Technically my first.

 

Cara: safeway was less of a field trip than a preventing-a-jyn-erso-induced-apocalypse mission

 

Ahsoka: YESSSS MY FIRST FIELD TRIP

 

Din: oh no

 

Din: how much chocolate has she had?

 

Anakin: A lot.

 

Din: …great.

 

Ahsoka: FINALLY I GET TO MEET THIS MYSTERIOUS MELINDA YOU ALL KEEP TALKING ABOUT

 

Fennec: And her coworkers!

 

Ahsoka: AND HER COWORKERS

 

Din: well

 

Din: maybe it’s a good thing only a few people handed out candy

Chapter 67: Halloween Special! (pt. 5)

Notes:

Finally, Halloween has ended!!! And happy Thanksgiving to anyone who celebrates!

Oh, and Daisy and Melinda are both from the Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but you don’t need to know anything about them aside from the fact that they’re government agents and live and work in a government base.

Chapter Text

Fennec: Okay everyone, remember what we say?

 

Luke: Thanks for the Roomba?

 

Fennec: No.

 

Jyn: TRICK OR TREAT

 

Fennec: Yes.

 

Padmé: Maybe without all the knife swinging.

 

Jyn: It adds character!

 

Padmé: And it subtracts limbs.

 

Padmé: No knife swinging.

 

Jyn: You’re no fun…

 

Fennec: SHHHHH

 

Fennec: WE’RE HERE

 

Din: does she know we’re coming—

 

Cara: Obviously not.

 

Din: they’re totally going to think we’re aliens attacking their base.

 

Cara:

 

Cara: HEY FENNEC

 

Fennec: YEAH

 

Cara: ARE WE GONNA DIE

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: MAYBE

 

Cara: AWESOME

 

Cara: Okay, who here has died before?

 

Cara: Show of hands.

 

Padmé: I’ve survived an assassination attempt, does that count?

 

Din: …Sure.

 

Maul: I’ve survived worse than a few government agents.

 

Quinlan: Oh…like a teenage government agent?

 

Obi-Wan: Hey, I’m not a government agent!

 

Maul:

 

Asajj: i beg to differ

 

Fennec: then beg.

 

Maul: Fennec. Every time. Why.

 

Fennec: it’s an instinct

 

Fennec: i can’t control it

 

Poe: So are we going in or are we staying in the bus all night?

 

Din: i’m all for staying in the bus

 

Cara: of course you are

 

Anakin: Let’s go before my costume is ruined.

 

Anakin: also known as obi-wan running off because he’s a coward

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Anakin: Maybe i should’ve just gone with my first idea

 

Quinlan: Which was?

 

Anakin: The top half of Maul.

 

Maul:

 

Maul: actually i’d like to see how you would have pulled that one off

 

Asajj: I’d be very eager to help

 

Anakin: Absolutely.

 

Asajj: Though my way of doing it might be more permanent.

 

Anakin: Absolutely Not.

 

Fennec: OKAY EVERYBODY READY

 

Jyn: YES

 

Padmé: Jyn Erso, you are very close to losing knife privileges.

 

Cassian: who gave her knife privileges?

 

Jyn: I did.

 

Fennec: 3…

 

Anakin: ooh countdown time

 

Anakin: 2…

 

Cara: 1…

 

Fennec: wait somebody ring the doorbell

 

Ezra: Who puts a doorbell on a secret government compound?

 

Fennec invited Melinda

 

Fennec: yo can you come out real quick

 

Melinda: Sure

 

Melinda: ETA 30 seconds

 

Din: so you guys aren’t doing anything now right

 

Melinda: Halloween is our off day

 

Melinda: Kind of hard to tell whether there’s actual aliens attacking or if it’s just people in costumes.

 

Anakin: So you’re telling me…

 

Leia: oh no

 

Anakin: I could go rob a bank right now…

 

Anakin: And NONE of you would be able to stop me?

 

Melinda:

 

Melinda: well there’s still the police

 

Melinda: but technically, yes

 

Anakin: guys i’ve got an excellent idea

 

Fennec: NO

 

Fennec: WE’RE GOING WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAN

 

Melinda: What plan?

 

Melinda: actually just tell me once i get this door open

 

Fennec: ready?

 

Anakin: yep?

 

Cassian: jyn. knife.

 

Jyn: ugh

 

Poe: guys everyone get with your partner or this will look stupid

 

Rose: says the meme to the taco

 

Fennec: GUYS

 

Fennec: SHH

 

Melinda: So we meet again.

 

Anakin: TRICK OR TREAT

 

Maul: the trickiest of treats to you

 

Ezra: What.

 

Ahsoka: The trickiest of treats indeed.

 

Melinda: …

 

Fennec: oh hello random other lady

 

Melinda invited Daisy

 

Daisy: 🥹 i’m so happy

 

Daisy: We never get trick-or-treaters.

 

Daisy: I’m getting the candy basket.

 

Melinda:

 

Melinda: daisy.

 

Daisy: Come on, you know we never get trick-or-treaters!

 

Melinda: …Fine.

 

Daisy: Yes!

 

Melinda: So why does the innocent one have frying pans duct-taped to his arms?

 

Luke: I’m a Mandalorian.

 

Luke: This is the way.

 

Din: i’m so proud

 

Daisy: Okay we have Snickers, Twix, and also some Gummi Bears.

 

Anakin: what

 

Zorii: s-snicker?

 

Zorii: i mean it sounds appealing but still

 

Melinda: Daisy they’re new to Earth.

 

Daisy: oh right

 

Daisy: Here just take one, I swear they’re not poisonous.

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: Seems legit.

 

Poe: can i try a bear

 

Daisy: Sure!

 

Daisy: i’m so happy, no one ever comes for candy

 

Melinda: please never tell coulson i let you do this

 

Din: Maybe this holiday isn’t that bad…

 

Cara: I knew you’d come around!

 

Padmé: JYN YOU JUST LOST KNIFE PRIVILEGES

 

Jyn: THAT WAS CASSIAN

 

Cassian: NO IT WASN’T

 

Jyn: YOU’RE A HORRIBLE LIAR

 

Cassian: LYING IS LITERALLY MY JOB

 

Jyn: well you’re bad at lying to me.

 

Cassian:

 

Cassian: kriff.

 

Daisy:

 

Daisy: Can we hang out with them more often?

 

Melinda: Absolutely.

Chapter 68: Meet Walter

Notes:

Finally back to the regular plot… this next storyline is something you don’t think would be inspired by real life, but here we are—

Chapter Text

Fennec: HONEY I’M HOME

 

Cara: Hi!

 

Padmé: Oh wow, the building’s still intact this time.

 

Rey: Is that…sarcasm?

 

Rey: what did you guys do

 

Quinlan: What didn’t we do?

 

Jyn: We blew up a toaster!

 

Anakin: does that mean she doesn’t want to kill me anymore?

 

Cassian: oh no she definitely still wants to kill you

 

Obi-Wan: We come bearing gifts!

 

Padmé: And more food, we were running low.

 

Poe: Oh good.

 

Anakin: jyn please don’t kill me

 

Anakin: i even brought you chocolate

 

Jyn:

 

Jyn: I’ll consider it.

 

Anakin: …

 

Quinlan: I know this is supposed to be some dramatic moment but I would actually kill for a sandwich right now so I’m gonna go make lunch.

 

Poe: Yeah same, now that we have food to make a sandwich with.

 

Poe: and not…whatever rey does with food

 

Rey: it’s perfectly edible!

 

Rey: Anyway, you’ll be surprised to hear that Jyn didn’t destroy everything in the compounds.

 

Padmé: Really?

 

Padmé: Wow Jyn, I didn’t know you had it in you

 

Cassian: the power of rose tico

 

Rose: All I did was suggest healthy alternatives to killing Anakin!

 

Cassian: Yes and that’s more than anyone here has the capacity to do.

 

Padmé: Okay so Jyn didn’t destroy everything, that’s one less thing I have to worry about

 

Rey: kaydel on the other hand…

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: are you serious.

 

Rey: yea unfortunately

 

Padmé: Din can you do that thing with the google real quick?

 

Din: Google something?

 

Padmé: Yeah.

 

Din: What?

 

Padmé: Can you put an adult in time out?

 

Din: …

 

Din: Most of these say yes but they’re about marriages.

 

Kaydel:

 

Padmé: close enough. kaydel, you’re in time out.

 

Kaydel: What??

 

Padmé: I don’t know what else to do

 

Tech: Honestly all she did was blow up a toaster.

 

Rose: And antagonize people.

 

Rose: but then again, when don’t we antagonize each other?

 

Cassian: I can’t believe I’m defending Kaydel but Leia was antagonizing people too

 

Din: Can I really not leave you home alone for more than two minutes?

 

Echo: I’d say anything over five is too much.

 

Padmé: Leia, you’re in time out too!

 

Leia: I WASN’T ANTAGONIZING PEOPLE THAT MUCH

 

Padmé: OK WELL wait i wasn’t even here

 

Padmé: People who were here, do I put Leia in time out or no?

 

Wrecker: Nah, she was fine

 

Leia: Thank you!

 

Anakin: Oh yeah, before she puts anyone else in time out

 

Anakin: WE GOT A FLOOR CIRCLE!!!

 

Cara:

 

Cara: I’m intrigued.

 

Asajj: A…floor circle.

 

Asajj: A carpet?

 

Quinlan: Well it has a name but it’s basically a floor circle.

 

Luke: Its name is Walter!

 

Fennec: NO IT IS NOT

 

Luke: YES IT IS

 

Luke: WATCH THIS

 

Luke: Anakin can you put the floor circle on the floor?

 

Anakin: sure

 

Luke: Walter, come here!!! Over here!!!

 

Jyn: IT MOVED

 

Jyn: IT’S ALIVE

 

Jyn: HOLY FORCE THEY HAVE DROIDS ON EARTH TOO

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: this feels like a fever dream

 

Luke: See, he knows his name!

 

Asajj: Oh for force’s sakes.

 

Asajj: Don’t tell me we’re actually naming it—

 

Cara: WALTER OVER HERE

 

Cara: HERE BOY

 

Asajj: we are. we are actually naming this floor circle walter.

 

Cassian: You didn’t steal this from the government, right?

 

Fennec: Technically the government gave it to us

 

Cassian: …

 

Anakin: It was a gift from Melinda!

 

Poe: but what is it

 

Poe: seriously guys, i’m not even in the same room as you. can someone describe it?

 

Cara: It’s… a circle. And it moves. And its name is Walter.

 

Zorii: she’s joking but that’s actually everything you need to know

 

Fennec: Oh also it’s called a Roomba.

 

Cara: I like it.

 

Jyn: i…feel somewhat threatened by this small moving circle

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: ok hear me out

 

Ezra: what do you think would happen if i pet it?

 

Poe: …

 

Poe: i need a drink

 

Padmé: NO ALCOHOL IN THE COMPOUNDS

 

Padmé: NOT BECAUSE I’M AFRAID YOU’LL DRINK, BUT BECAUSE ONE OF YOU WILL INEVITABLY SET IT ON FIRE

 

Poe: no i meant i need a drink to go with my sandwich

 

Padmé: oh

 

Padmé: well we did just stock up on juice boxes so you can have one of those if you’d like

Chapter 69: Let the Roomba War Begin.

Notes:

No Christmas special this time, probably for the best considering how long the Halloween one ended up… maybe a New Year’s one, though…
Anyways, Merry (one day late) Christmas, for those of you who celebrate!!!

Chapter Text

Jyn: IT’S COMING TOWARDS ME

 

Luke: GOOD BOY WALTER

 

Jyn: GET HIM AWAY

 

Quinlan: are we just going to ignore the fact that he’s only moving a few centimeters a minute

 

Quinlan: just…walk away jyn

 

Fennec: I mean I could make him go faster…

 

Anakin: And we could give him weapons!

 

Luke: NO

 

Luke: WALTER IS NOT A WEAPON

 

Cara:

 

Cara: yet.

 

Jyn: I will not back down to this tiny metal cirHE’S GONNA EAT MY FEET

 

Cassian: so this is new

 

Anakin: that looks uncomfortable

 

Poe: What happened?

 

Cara: Bring your sandwich in here and find out for yourself

 

Poe: no i’m busy

 

Anakin: Jyn just jumped onto Cassian

 

Poe:

 

Poe: yeah i didn’t need to know that

 

Asajj: Not…not like that…

 

Asajj: She’s scared of the Roomba.

 

Jyn: I’m not afraid of that thing!

 

Jyn: i just

 

Jyn: don’t need my feet eaten today

 

Poe: …

 

Poe: not what i was expecting but alright

 

Quinlan: I’m not afraid of it

 

Quinlan: I’m just… going to sit on a table. So it doesn’t eat my feet.

 

Asajj:

 

Asajj: i’m going to fight it

 

Din: I’m beginning to think bringing him home was a mistake.

 

Ahsoka: It took you long enough.

 

Anakin: AHSOKA

 

Anakin: I FORGOT YOU EXISTED

 

Ahsoka: wow thanks

 

Ahsoka: anyways can i pet walter

 

Luke: Absolutely!

 

Quinlan: DON’T GO TOO CLOSE

 

Ahsoka: I’ll be fine

 

Ahsoka: See, he likes me!!

 

Rey: aww he’s just a little earth droid

 

Arm: i am not going within ten feet of that thing.

 

Zorii: i wanna stand on it

 

Asajj: Let me fight it first before you stand on it and break it.

 

Luke: Nobody is standing on Walter!!!

 

Din: oh no

 

Din: i know exactly where this is going

 

Evaan: If you’re going to fight him at least give him a knife so he has a chance.

 

Din: …maybe i don’t know where this is going

 

Asajj: POE CAN YOU GET A KNIFE

 

Poe:

 

Asajj: PLEASE

 

Poe: yeah sure

 

Poe: this should be interesting

 

Luke: NOBODY IS FIGHTING WALTER

 

Luke: WALTER IS A GOOD BOY AND DESERVES TO BE TREATED AS SUCH

 

Din: yeah i know exactly where this is going

 

Fennec: i call fighting him after asajj

 

Jyn: i’M FIGHTING HIM FIRST

 

Anakin: You’d have to get off Cassian to fight him

 

Jyn: …

 

Jyn: AVENGE ME ASAJJ

 

Asajj: I WILL

 

Zorii: WE ALL WILL

 

Maul: Me too!

 

Obi-Wan: Not you too???

 

Maul: yes

 

Maul: i want to fight walter

 

Obi-Wan: …fine. but only because he keeps trying to EAT MY TOES WALTER WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME

 

Rey: do you really have to fight it-

 

Maul: Yes

 

Zorii: rey just look at him

 

Zorii: do you not want to lightsaber him?

 

Rey: no??

 

Zorii: oh

 

Zorii: well i do

 

Zorii: and that’s exactly what i’m going to do

 

Luke: why are you all like this.

 

Anakin: this is getting out of hand

 

Anakin: i love it

 

Poe: So you’re telling me… some of you guys want to fight the floor circle?

 

Jyn: Very much so.

 

Poe: And some of you think he’s going to eat your feet?

 

Obi-Wan: i don’t just think so

 

Obi-Wan: walter is chasing me around trying to eat your feet

 

Din: Google says Roombas clean things. You probably have dirty feet.

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Anakin: can we not talk about obi-wan’s feet

 

Ahsoka: yeah i don’t need that mental image

 

Poe: And some of you want to pet him??

 

Luke: He’s cute!!

 

Poe: And Jyn is a combination of all three?

 

Jyn: …yes actually

 

Poe: guys

 

Poe: The Roomba Wars have begun

 

Din: i knew we’d end up fighting somehow…

 

Ezra: The…what?

 

Poe: The Roomba War.

 

Ezra: …

 

Ezra: WE SHOULD ADOPT WALTER NOT FIGHT HIM

 

Asajj: HE’S OBVIOUSLY A THREAT

 

Quinlan: DIN CAN YOU GOOGLE “ARE ROOMBAS POSSESSED”

 

Din: poe

 

Din: what have you done

 

Anakin: and would you consider being my chaos apprentice?

Chapter 70: possessed roomba go brr

Notes:

First chapter of 2023… new year, same amount of chaos :)

Chapter Text

Quinlan: I think Melinda gave us a possessed Roomba.

 

Ezra: But she works for the government!

 

Asajj: Exactly.

 

Ezra:

 

Poe: Aren’t you from the Imperial times?

 

Ezra: yes but that doesn’t mean i need to be cynical

 

Zorii: oh

 

Zorii: Well I’m a future kid and let me tell you

 

Zorii: you’re gonna need to be cynical cause it doesn’t get much better from where you are

 

Ezra: wow thanks for the reassurance

 

Armitage: There’s no reassurance where you’re going.

 

Armitage: just a whole lot of depressing politics

 

Rose: And Armitage’s cat!

 

Armitage: oh yeah and my cat too

 

Poe: are we just really cynical or do the past people just bully us about being cynical because of the thing with han

 

Asajj: The thing with Han is arguably the funniest thing since tiny Boba Fett tried to pull off a bounty hunting mission

 

Han: not for han

 

Poe: and not for han’s son either which makes it even funnier

 

Rose: han’s son is borrowing my phone and would like you all to know that this is not funny

 

Anakin: Quick someone go find Rose

 

Cara: it’s more fun not knowing

 

Cara: because then we get to antagonize han by pretending to be his son

 

Anakin: True

 

Anakin: Let’s see… um *spins wheel* Evaan you get to be Han’s son today

 

Evaan: Awesome

 

Evaan: Someone give me a knife

 

Han: Hey NO—

 

Rey:

 

Rey: he’s gonna hate me for saying this but

 

Rey: this is really entertaining

 

Han: You’re right, I do hate you for saying that

 

Rey: Oh not you

 

Rose: …

 

Rose: you’re right. i do hate you for saying that.

 

Rey: You problem  ʅ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʃ

 

Rose: Ok it’s actually Rose now and honestly I have to agree with you on this one…

 

Quinlan: This is great and all but can we please un-possess the Roomba?

 

Anakin: WHO KNOWS HOW TO UNPOSSESS THINGS?

 

Din: not it

 

Quinlan: …

 

Quinlan: i might know someone

 

Asajj: NO

 

Asajj: I’M NOT GOING NEAR THAT THING WITHOUT A KNIFE

 

Quinlan: YOU’RE THE ONLY WITCH WE HAVE

 

Asajj: NO

 

Quinlan: I’LL LET YOU FIGHT IT IF YOU UNPOSSESS IT

 

Asajj: I REFUSE

 

Cara: Hey Din can you google how to unpossess things?

 

Din: You all are fully capable of Googling things for yourselves.

 

Cara: Yes but it makes you feel important.

 

Din:

 

Din: i hate that a literal chaos demon knows me so well

 

Cara: What are friends for?

 

Fennec: nothing

 

Fennec: all your friends will eventually betray you and leave you alone for dead

 

Maul:

 

Maul: well

 

Maul: after that rousing burst of optimism

 

Maul: which i completely agree with but that’s not important

 

Maul: how about we google how to unpossess this thing before it eats someone’s feet

 

Cassian: Namely, Obi-Wan

 

Din: He’s still clinging to the ceiling?

 

Maul: He’s still clinging to the ceiling.

 

Din: Do you really want me to Google it?

 

Maul: YES

 

Asajj: YES

 

Rose: YES

 

Rose: it’s actually me now btw

 

Armitage: Welcome back

 

Ahsoka: LET’S UNPOSSESS THE ROOMBA!!!!!

 

Din: Okay, I found out how we can do it, and we have everything we need…

 

Fennec: three dots

 

Fennec: he did the three dots

 

Fennec: that means there’s a but

 

Jyn: a butt?

 

Fennec: …

 

Fennec: are you a child

 

Jyn: my childhood was a blur of violence and also farming

 

Anakin: …so we’re not gonna question that

 

Fennec: din you walking hunk of metal just tell us the but

 

Din: We have everything we need… but…

 

Din: We’re gonna need to catch the Roomba first.

 

Anakin: …

 

Anakin: FIRST ONE TO CATCH WALTER GETS OUT OF BEING THE UNPOSSESSING SACRIFICE

 

Han: THE WHAT

 

Din: oh no

 

Anakin: THE ROOMBA HUNT HAS BEGUN

Chapter 71: Roomba Hunting (it’s harder than it looks!)

Chapter Text

Erza: So.

 

Ezra: Who here knows how to set traps for small round objects?

 

Din: I have experience hunting with small round objects?

 

Cara: Bounty pucks don’t count

 

Poe: I have a droid that’s a rounder version of a Roomba?

 

Rey: yeah something tells me bb-8 is more cooperative than walter

 

Fennec: hmm…

 

Fennec: cara?

 

Cara: yes dear?

 

Din: i’m sorry what—

 

Fennec: get the knives.

 

Cara: ooooh this is about to get fun

 

Din: Hey I don’t want to ruin what is obviously a disturbing romantic moment between you two but WALTER IS TRYING TO EAT MY FEET

 

Cassian:

 

Cassian: don’t look at me only jyn is allowed to randomly jump on my back

 

Jyn: I am?

 

Cassian: no.

 

Cassian: i’m making an exception just this once

 

Jyn: Works for me

 

Poe: Wow Finn why don’t you ever do that for me?

 

Finn: Because I know you wouldn’t run from the Roomba

 

Finn: You’d either befriend it and introduce it to BB-8 or you’d fight it and lose.

 

Poe: …

 

Finn: Valiantly, but you’d still lose

 

Finn: just look at that thing, not even palpatine could survive a fight with that thing

 

Rey: …

 

Rey: hmmm i have an idea

 

Ben: no

 

Rey: …

 

Rey: it would be funny

 

Ben: do you remember what happened the last time we tried to fight something that we thought would take five minutes or less

 

Rey: Ok fair.

 

Fennec: I HAVE KNIVES

 

Anakin: …

 

Anakin: HEY GUYS WHERE DID WE PUT THOSE PLASTIC BAGS

 

Evaan: THE ONES FROM SAFEWAY???

 

Anakin: YEAH

 

Evaan: WE HAD TO LOCK THEM IN THE BUS

 

Evaan: MORAI KEPT TRYING TO PLAY WITH THEM

 

Anakin: THANKS

 

Asajj: Evaan.

 

Evaan: Yes?

 

Asajj: What have you done.

 

Anakin: FENNEC WE NEED TO CORNER IT

 

Cara: LUKE GET OVER HERE

 

Luke: STOP ABUSING WALTER

 

Cara: HE’LL BE FINE

 

Anakin: YEAH WE’RE JUST TRYING TO UNPOSSESS HIM

 

Luke: jUST LEAVE HIM ALONE

 

Obi-Wan: LUKE HE’S TRYING TO EAT OUR FEET

 

Luke:

 

Luke: well maybe he wouldn’t eat your feet if you were nice to him

 

Quinlan: i never thought i’d say this, but

 

Quinlan: toasted

 

Ezra: Kenobi, you just got toasted by LUKE.

 

Ezra: That’s a new low.

 

Obi-Wan: Believe me, I’ve seen lower.

 

Obi-Wan: like maul after i cut off his legs

 

Maul: WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THAT

 

Maul: I HAVE DONE NOTHING

 

Zorii: Maybe you should have thought about that before you went and had legs.

 

Maul: WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN

 

Asajj: I think the Roomba is possessing other people now.

 

Asajj: Kenobi and Skywalker just toasted people.

 

Asajj: That’s not natural.

 

Asajj: I should know.

 

Anakin: YOU TAKE THE LEFT I TAKE THE RIGHT

 

Fennec: NO IT’S GONNA RUN OVER OBI-WAN

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: IT’S A WORTHY SACRIFICE

 

Obi-Wan: HEY WAIT NO

 

Zorii: BLOOD FOR THE ROOMBA GOD

 

Obi-Wan: STOP ENCOURAGING THIS

 

Zorii: NO

 

Zorii: YOU’RE NOT MY DAD

 

Quinlan: …

 

Zorii: you’re right, how would i know

 

Zorii: my dad left to get some blue milk 12 years ago

 

Rey:

 

Rey: welcome to the club.

 

Ezra: Wow you future people are not okay.

 

Zorii: No we are not! :D

 

Poe: especially not with a Mystery Stabber in our ranks

 

Armitage: shhh don’t remind them

 

Ezra: At this point I think we all know who it is but we’re ignoring it in favor of watching Han fail at guessing who it is.

 

Anakin: Speak for yourself

 

Anakin: I still think it’s Zorii

 

Zorii: i wish i could claim such a feat

 

Han: …

 

Zorii: no offense han

 

Zorii: but if i’m going to get paid to stab people i’d like to at least make sure it’s someone interesting

 

Zorii: again, no offense

 

Han: Too bad.

 

Han: I am very offended.

 

Armitage: If Zorii stabs him does that end all of our problems?

 

Ben: well

 

Ben: let’s maybe not stab han

 

Ben: on the off chance we do go back to our normal times

 

Ezra: Yep, not even trying anymore.

 

Quinlan: Hey wait where’d Fennec and Anakin go?

 

Quinlan: they’ve stopped screaming

 

Fennec: shhhh don’t let it hear where we are

 

Anakin: sneak attack

 

Quinlan: …

 

Quinlan: This is why nobody lets you make the battle plans, Skywalker

 

Cara: Everyone in position?

 

Fennec: yep

 

Anakin: yeah

 

Cara: I’ve got the Roomba in my sights.

 

Cara: Just keep standing there Luke

 

Cara: You make a great bait

 

Luke: Thanks?

 

Cara: Attack in 3…

 

Cara: 2…

 

Cara: 1…

Chapter 72: There’s A Hostage Situation???

Chapter Text

Quinlan: hey so should luke really be standing between two idiots with weapons—

 

Fennec: ATTACK

 

Luke: WAIT LET ME GET OUT OF THE

 

Quinlan: oh!

 

Luke: …way

 

Fennec: oops?

 

Anakin: *nods* oops.

 

Luke: help me.

 

Quinlan: So… who here is good with healing people?

 

Asajj: watch the future kids all do that thing where they look at each other like they’re all in on some joke we don’t know about

 

Zorii: .,.

 

Poe: …

 

Armitage:

 

Asajj: oh for force’s sakes I WAS KIDDING

 

Rey: …about that.

 

Din: Not that I want to get involved with another future kids inside joke

 

Din: But why is it that whenever something happens

 

Din: It is always you

 

Din: And him

 

Ben: i’ve been asking myself that question a lot, actually

 

Rey: i’m just here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Din: i can’t believe only one of you is a skywalker

 

Armitage: *cough* for now *cough*

 

Rey: HEY

 

Rey: GET BACK HERE AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE

 

Armitage: fennec i need to borrow the bus

 

Fennec: Well I’m a little busy at the moment

 

Padmé: NO LIGHTSABERS

 

Padmé: THANKS

 

Armitage: thank you padmé 😭

 

Rey: I CAN STILL FIGHT YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS

 

Padmé: I mean… hand to hand combat isn’t technically banned… so really all I can do is strongly recommend you not murder him

 

Rey: Yeah I can do that

 

Din: …why do i even open my mouth sometimes?

 

Cara: Eat food.

 

Din: Yeah I guess

 

Luke: ANAKIN GET OFF ME

 

Anakin: I NÉED TO GET TO WALTER

 

Cara: TAKE HIM HOSTAGE

 

Anakin: 

 

Anakin: You know

 

Anakin: That isn’t such a bad idea

 

Asajj: Sometimes I wonder if it was a good thing that I didn’t have a dad

 

Leia: if your dad was anakin, yeah

 

Armitage: no no i’m pretty sure it’s universal

 

Cara: …

 

Cara: future kids are no longer allowed to text until walter has been captured

 

Armitage: WHAT DID I DO NOW

 

Cara: NONE OF YOU ARE OKAY

 

Cara: AND THATS COMING FROM ME

 

Cara: WHICH IS SAYING SOMETHING

 

Maul: oh no

 

Maul: she’s becoming self-aware

 

Zorii: MAYBE NONE OF US ARE OKAY BECAUSE ALL OF YOU SCREWED UP THE GALAXY AND NOW WE JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT BY MAKING DUMB JOKES ABOUT IT

 

Maul:

 

Maul: they’re all becoming self-aware

 

Poe: that’s about the most logical thing i’ve ever heard her say

 

Poe: and i’ve known her for a long time

 

Zorii: what about the time i accidentally took spice and said all that weird philosophical stuff

 

Poe: that doesn’t count, it wasn’t natural wisdom

 

Cara: THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN

 

Cara: NO MORE FUTURE KIDS UNTIL WALTER IS CAPTURED

 

Luke: YEAH GUYS STOP TALKING

 

Luke: BEING HELD HOSTAGE IS NOT FUN

 

Luke: I JUST WANT TO GET THIS OVER WITH

 

Ezra: so you’re not gonna try to escape???

 

Cara: It’s Anakin, why try?

 

Fennec: …

 

Cara: And Fennec too

 

Cara: i didn’t forget about you babe <3

 

Fennec: 😁

 

Din: maybe i should start hoping we don’t go back home

 

Din: i really don’t want to deal with these two being love while also having to do bounty hunting stuff

 

Cara: and face off those imperials you ticked off

 

Din: oh force that too

 

Anakin: ALRIGHT WALTER

 

Anakin: I DIDN’T WANT TO DO THIS

 

Anakin: BUT YOU GIVE US NO CHOICE

 

Fennec: What he said.

 

Din: fennec what are you doing

 

Anakin: She’s standing menacingly beside me and looking threatening to scare Walter into giving in.

 

Fennec: Pretty much

 

Anakin: Anyways, back to it?

 

Fennec: Let’s do it

 

Anakin: YOU HAVE ONE OPTION LEFT, WALTER

 

Anakin: THERE’S NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN

 

Anakin: Quinlan I know you’re trying to video this but can you come a little closer to block off the hallway so Walter can’t leave?

 

Quinlan: no way

 

Quinlan: he’s going to eat my toes

 

Anakin: Uh…

 

Fennec: Asajj, Jyn, you wanted an excuse to use knives?

 

Jyn: ALWAYS

 

Asajj: Is that even a question?

 

Fennec: i know right

 

Fennec: PROTECT QUINLAN

 

Asajj: YES SIR

 

Jyn: KNIFE TIME HAHAHSHAHAHA

 

Quinlan: Thanks? I guess?

 

Anakin: YOU HAVE NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE

 

Anakin: WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING

 

Anakin: ok so apparently there is somewhere left to hide

 

Fennec: Can someone move that potted plant?

 

Maul: Sure

 

Anakin: OK NOW THERE’S NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE

 

Anakin: WE HAVE LUKE

 

Anakin: SURRENDER OR HE DIES

 

Luke: WAIT WHAT

 

Fennec: bro have you never been used as a hostage before???

 

Luke: NO?????

 

Fennec: either the person being threatened gives in, or you die

 

Fennec: simple logic, really

 

Luke: I DID NOT AGREE TO THIS

 

Fennec: well that’s why you’re a hostage, luke

 

Jyn: Not to break character of being the hired gunwoman but you should give a TED Talk about how to be a hostage

 

Fennec: …

 

Fennec: not to break character of being the menacing weapons lady but that sounds like an excellent idea

 

Anakin: Not to break character of being the hostage-taking evil dude but can we go back to threatening the Roomba into handing itself over?

 

Fennec: oh yeah

 

Fennec: DO WHAT HE SAYS OR THE CINNAMON ROLL DIES

 

Jyn: *brandishes knives*

 

Asajj: *whatever jyn just said*

 

Anakin: Excellent job you guys, keep up the good work

 

Quinlan: i’m keeping the video of this forever

Chapter 73: is this basically the wikihow version of un-possession? yes.

Chapter Text

Anakin: OK IT’S STOPPED

 

Anakin: STRIKE TEAM GO

 

Cara: MY TIME HAS COME

 

Quinlan: Wait the what team—

 

Luke: LEAVE WALTER ALONE

 

Luke: HE’S DONE NOTHING TO YOU

 

Padmé: Have they set anything on fire yet?

 

Quinlan: Nope, they’re just covering Walter in plastic bags from Safeway

 

Cara:

 

Cara: Guys there’s a whole two tubes of eyeliner in here

 

Zorii: i know future kids aren’t allowed to talk right now but

 

Zorii: why is the roomba equipped with eyeliner

 

Leia: Mood.

 

Padmé: 

 

Padmé: Which one of you taught my daughter slang.

 

Poe: oh no

 

Padmé: …

 

Poe: IT WASN’T ME I SWEAR

 

Poe: I’M JUST MENTALLY PREPARING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE

 

Cara: See and this is why future kids aren’t allowed to talk

 

Fennec: oh wait that was my eyeliner

 

Fennec: well not mine

 

Fennec: i bought it for ben and luke

 

Armitage:

 

Leia:

 

Ben: in my defense i had no say in the matter

 

Jyn:  can i have it?

 

Ben: Sure

 

Jyn: CASSIAN LET’S GO MAKE EXPLOSIVES WITH EYELINER

 

Jyn: EVERYONE ELSE I GUESS YOU’RE INVITED TOO BUT ONLY BECAUSE PADMÉ SAYS I NEED TO TRY HARDER TO MAKE FRIENDS

 

Ben: never mind

 

Leia: i think luke would love to have yours if you’re not using it

 

Luke: So apparently it can get worse than being held hostage by your own father

 

Armitage:

 

Armitage: i don’t wanna be that guy but things get a lot worse for you family-wise

 

Ahsoka: ALRIGHT THAT’S IT 

 

Ahsoka: FUTURE KIDS BETTER SHUT IT UNTIL WALTER IS UNPOSSESSED

 

Leia: Wait I need to work out a trade for the eyeliner

 

Ben: just take it

 

Luke: NO NO DON’T LET HER TAKE IT

 

Zorii: You’re doing this entirely out of spite, aren’t you?

 

Ben: That and the knowledge that Armitage would probably do the same to me if I keep it

 

Rose: Welcome to having a sibling, Luke

 

Rose: not that i can relate

 

Rose: i was the wild demon one

 

Asajj: but you’re too sweet to be the wild demon sibling

 

Finn:

 

Finn: None of you have ever had to deal with angry Rose and for that you should be thankful

 

Ahsoka: Ok and we’re back into future kids shut up territory

 

Cara: Unless one of you wants to help me wrestle this Roomba?

 

Zorii: Nah looks like you’ve got it pretty much handled

 

Cara: I do but you looked like you want in

 

Zorii: oh i totally do but my girlfriend would kill me

 

Asajj: Kaydel can get angry too???

 

Poe: they can all get angry and it’s terrifying

 

Jannah: like that time rey tried to fight her evil self

 

Ahsoka:

 

Ahsoka: I’m locking all of you in a room until this is over

 

Rose: Can it be Cara’s room? I like the colors

 

Anakin: Cara are you done fighting the Roomba yet?

 

Cara: Oh yeah I’m just showing off now

 

Anakin: Excellent

 

Anakin: UNPOSSESSING TEAM GO

 

Asajj: how is it a team it’s just me

 

Maul: you heard the man, go

 

Quinlan: well i wouldn’t go that far and call him a man

 

Quinlan: perhaps ‘very tall child’ would be more appropriate

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: How would you like to be my next hostage?

 

Quinlan: Walter doesn’t care about me tho

 

Anakin: motivation for asajj

 

Asajj: Joke’s on you, you can take him hostage as long as you want

 

Maul: how is this a healthy relationship again

 

Quinlan: she’s all bark and no bite

 

Quinlan: mostly

 

Jyn: Dog. You meant dog.

 

Jyn: Why did I think you meant tree.

 

Asajj: I’m a tree?

 

Anakin: Please just unpossess the Roomba

 

Asajj: Come on, aren’t you Jedi supposed to be patient?

 

Quinlan: Yeah but I’m running out of battery life to video this

 

Asajj: Alright, alright

 

Asajj: …

 

Asajj: actually, i’m gonna need that eyeliner

Chapter 74: Actual Productivity vs Every Character In This Story At Once

Notes:

The entire plot of this fic has turned into a tug-of-war match: myself and the various people who have suggested story arcs in the comments vs the characters, who are all very determined to take things in wildly different directions

who will win? that remains to be seen…

Chapter Text

Asajj: Ok, and then you add this symbol, that’s to protect yourself from being possessed by the spirit once you remove it from the possessed thing

 

Rey: Cool cool

 

Asajj: And then this one is optional but it’s just reinforcement

 

Rey: got it

 

Asajj: so why do you want to know all this again

 

Rey:

 

Rey: i have my reasons

 

Asajj: …nice

 

Maul: I thought future kids weren’t allowed to talk..

 

Rey: SHE’S TEACHING ME SOMETHING

 

Asajj: I’M HOSTING A ROOMBA UNPOSSESSING TED TALK

 

Asajj: ANYONE WHO CAN USE THE FORCE AND ISN’T OBI-WAN KENOBI IS WELCOME TO JOIN

 

Obi-Wan: WHAT DID I DO

 

Obi-Wan: not that i want to be anywhere near what’s going on but still

 

Din: So are you done unpossessing it yet?

 

Asajj: Almost

 

Asajj: basically we just need to seal it with some force stuff

 

Asajj: it’s hard to explain

 

Asajj: just watch

 

Ezra: oooh force magic

 

Rey: sometimes i wonder if having formal training would’ve helped but then i see you guys and think maybe it’s better that i taught myself everything from a book and a lot of trial and error

 

Din: sometimes i wonder who thought laser swords would be a good idea

 

Cara: Don’t you have a laser sword?

 

Din: Technically yes, and it’s done nothing but confirm my suspicions

 

Asajj: Alright, and that’s how you unpossess a Roomba!

 

Asajj: actually that was fun

 

Asajj: you guys need to let government people give us possessed stuff more often

 

Din:

 

Din: how about no

 

Anakin: Does that mean we can let Walter free?

 

Luke: does that mean i can stop being a hostage?

 

Fennec: no

 

Luke: but…she unpossessed walter…

 

Fennec: yeah but holding people hostage is fun

 

Luke: Hold the future kids hostage, they’re the ones causing problems!

 

Armitage:

 

Armitage: this is why

 

Armitage: we are still

 

Armitage: fighting a galactic war

 

Armitage: everyone is dumping the blame on our generation

 

Armitage: and then we take it out on each other

 

Ezra: You guys are what

 

Armitage: uhh

 

Armitage: nothing?

 

Ben: time-space continuity aside, that might be the most intelligent thing i’ve ever heard you say

 

Armitage: wow thank you

 

Armitage: guys i think i’m dying, he just complimented me

 

Poe: you might die, cara looks annoyed that you’re still talking

 

Armitage: oh right

 

Anakin: Alright, time to find out if Walter’s still possessed!

 

Anakin: Jyn get ready

 

Jyn: 

 

Jyn: cassian get ready

 

Cassian: not again

 

Jyn: too bad

 

Fennec: it’s…not moving…

 

Luke: ASAJJ YOU KILLED HIM

 

Asajj: you know what i might’ve

 

Asajj: i probably should’ve double-checked all the symbols

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: Well that was fun while it lasted

 

Jyn: Alright looks like we now have a nice table for girls night sabaaAASFDHSGHJDFSKHH

 

Fennec: oh look it’s alive

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: WAIT IT’S ALIVE

 

Luke: WALTER YOU’RE ALIVE

 

Luke: YES

 

Asajj: See, I know what I’m doing!

 

Quinlan: Asajj?

 

Asajj: Yes?

 

Quinlan: never

 

Quinlan: and i mean never

 

Quinlan: become a medic

 

Asajj: why not?

 

Quinlan: …

 

Asajj: Eh I like my job, I get to annoy Skywalker

 

Asajj: And now there’s two Skywalkers to annoy!

 

Asajj: Three if you count Leia, but I’m not gonna mess with Leia

 

Din: That might be the smartest thing anyone here has ever said

 

Jyn: HE’S COMING FOR MY FEET

 

Cassian: Again???

 

Asajj: Oh

 

Asajj: Well then he’s not possessed

 

Asajj: I guess that’s just how he is

 

Cara: *nods* Some people really do be like that

 

Din: w

 

Din: what

 

Zorii:

 

Rose: zorii please no

 

Rose: whatever you’re about to say, just no

 

Zorii:

 

Zorii: maybe he’s just got a thing for feet

 

Cara:

 

Han:

 

Maul: i physically cannot believe you just said that

 

Rose: it’s moments like this when i rethink my life choices

 

Zorii: hey someone had to say it

 

Fennec: she’s not…wrong…

 

Obi-Wan: yes. yes she is.

 

Obi-Wan: no one had to say that.

 

Jyn: I feel like we have more important things to deal with

 

Jyn: Because

 

Jyn: Walter is trying to eat my feet again

 

Jyn: And it’s getting annoying

 

Cassian: jyn i can’t carry you around for longer than like

 

Cassian: five minutes tops

 

Ezra: Well Din says Roombas clean things

 

Ezra: So obviously we can solve this

 

Ezra: We just have to make the floors too clean for Walter to be angry and clean things!

 

Cara: That logic is literally worse than the time Din accidentally became the Mand’alor and couldn’t get rid of it without dying

 

Fennec: What do you mean “that one time” it’s still going on

 

Fennec: We have like five people here who are royalty and Din is one of them

 

Anakin: he

 

Anakin: he’s what

 

Cara: The Mand’alor!

 

Din: Reluctantly. Very reluctantly.

 

Poe:

 

Poe: And the future kids are the weird ones.

 

Cara: Did anyone tell you you could talk?

 

Jyn: You guys are just easier to blame!

 

Jyn: though i would like to hear about din becoming the mand’alor by accident

 

Din: Well Din would not like to hear the story again

 

Din: So let’s focus on the Roomba situation

 

Anakin: Roomba clean

 

Anakin: Roomba chase Jyn

 

Anakin: Solution simple

 

Anakin: Jyn, go wash your feet

Chapter 75: Earth Culture Lessons

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Quinlan: So… what are we supposed to do now that everyone’s just accepted that Walter is just really determined to eat people’s feet and not actually possessed?

 

Anakin: Funny you should ask…

 

Quinlan: NEVER MIND

 

Anakin: It’ll be fun!!!

 

Din: is it going to cause the destruction of property?

 

Anakin: No

 

Din: is someone going to die?

 

Anakin: not any of us

 

Din:

 

Din: i don’t think i like that answer

 

Anakin: But they’re not real people!

 

Din: i’m not sure i like that answer

 

Anakin: Listen

 

Anakin: We’ve been stuck on Earth for a while now

 

Anakin: And all we’ve experienced is Chipotle, Home Depot, and Duolingo.

 

Fennec: So really, all the highlights

 

Anakin: And I think if we’re going to be here for a long time, we might as well learn more about Earth culture

 

Cara: road trip?

 

Fennec: road trip.

 

Anakin: Not a road trip

 

Anakin: at least this time

 

Cara: aww

 

Anakin: I’ve developed a foolproof plan to experience the best of Earth culture!

 

Anakin: Actually I made several, but this is the only one Din will approve of

 

Quinlan: does this earth culture happen to include meme culture

 

Anakin: No, but now that you mention it that should be the next part of our learning about Earth plan

 

Anakin: You see, Earth humans have these things they call movies!

 

Rose: how

 

Rose: how do you pronounce that

 

Zorii: Mahv-ees

 

Jyn: Mow-vees

 

Din: is this a type of weapon

 

Anakin: They’re like holofilms, but Earth version!

 

Anakin: also they’re pronounce move-ees

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: So we’re going to experience the highlights of Earth culture

 

Ezra: By watching Earth holofilms?

 

Anakin: Pretty much!

 

Ezra: that sounds like an excellent idea

 

Anakin: I know, right?

 

Anakin: And Earth people made it even easier too

 

Anakin: They separate them by these things called genres

 

Anakin: So I’ve put together a list of genres, and then a list of the best movies from that genre

 

Maul: Hold up, how do you know they’re the best?

 

Anakin: the internet told me so

 

Anakin: some dude named buzz feed

 

Maul:

 

Maul: sounds valid

 

Anakin: Everyone find a group and pick a genre!

 

Anakin: hey din can i borrow your helmet

 

Din: no

 

Anakin: hey zorii can i borrow your helmet

 

Zorii: only if it’s for something stupid

 

Anakin: it’s absolutely for something stupid

 

Zorii: take it

 

Anakin: ALRIGHT I WROTE EVERYTHING DOWN ON SLIPS OF FLIMSI, EVERYONE PICK THEIR MOVIE GENRE OUT OF ZORII’S HELMET

 

Zorii: that’s not stupid that’s perfect

 

Leia: anyone wanna do a skywalker group

 

Luke: no

 

Luke: you’re just gonna bully me the whole time

 

Poe: Future kids unite?

 

Armitage: Yeah sure, why not

 

Anakin: You guys don’t get to pick, you get horror because that’s what you bring to the compounds

 

Jyn: This is the first and last time I agree with Anakin Skywalker

 

Cassian: Hey Jyn do you wanna be in a group?

 

Jyn: Sure

 

Cassian: Who else wants in?

 

Ezra: Guess I don’t really have anyone else

 

Ezra: Hey Obi-Wan, need a group?

 

Obi-Wan: Does it really have to be with her

 

Obi-Wan: she’s scary

 

Jyn: she can hear you

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Jyn: she’s flattered

 

Cassian: Are we letting anyone else in?

 

Fennec: Hey Cara and Din you wanna watch Earth holofilms together?

 

Cara: Not like we didn’t already do that back home

 

Din: well someone needs to keep you two under control

 

Maul: Asajj, Quinlan, you are the only two people here I can stand and trust not to talk through the movie.

 

Quinlan: aw thanks

 

Maul: Want to watch together?

 

Asajj: Sure

 

Asajj: ANAKIN WHERE’S THE HELMET

 

Anakin: HOLD ON A MINUTE

 

Asajj: It says… “Teen”

 

Quinlan: can we pick a new one

 

Anakin: Nope!

 

Anakin: Bad Batch, who’s picking?

 

Echo: Guess it’s me

 

Echo: We got “Musicals”

 

Hunter: What’s a musical?

 

Anakin: No idea but here’s your list

 

Fennec: DIN CARA WE GOT WESTERN

 

Cara: AWESOME

 

Cara: WHAT’S WESTERN

 

Fennec: GREAT QUESTION

 

Anakin: Luke, who are you picking for?

 

Luke: Me, Han, Evaan… and leia

 

Luke: We got “Mystery”

 

Anakin: hey so padmé and ahsoka are we watching together or

 

Ahsoka: Only if Morai can come

 

Anakin: absolutely

 

Ahsoka: Awesome

 

Ahsoka: “Family”

 

Ahsoka: imagine having one of those

 

Padmé:

 

Ahsoka: sorry mom

 

Padmé: we don’t self deprecate in this family

 

Anakin: Yeah, leave it to the rest of your family to put you down!

 

Padmé: anakin no—

 

Anakin: Alright, who’s left?

 

Jyn: Me and Cassian and Obi-Wan and Ezra, only Obi-Wan doesn’t want to be here so he’s been trying to convince the Bad Batch to let him into their group

 

Anakin: ok well there’s only one genre left so it’s going to you four

 

Jyn: …Romance???

 

Jyn: Really????

 

Jannah: ew kissing

 

Poe: real mature j

 

Jannah: you dressed as a meme for halloween

 

Poe: and i loved every minute of it, thank you very much

 

Anakin: Alright

 

Anakin: Let the Earth Culture Lessons begin!!!!

Notes:

If I missed any characters when forming the groups, please let me know!

Also, if anyone has any movie requests to go with the genres chosen, feel free to leave them in the comments and I’ll try to work them into the story!

Chapter 76: Musicals (Pt. 1)

Notes:

The first round of movies are out! I tried to find a mix of musicals from all over the world, just because Earth has so many different cultures and languages and movies… a concept that is probably really weird to characters who come from planets that are typically characterized by one environment or culture (Kamino = cloning, Tatooine = sand, etc).

Also… two of these are completely self-indulgent ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So I will 100% take any self-indulgent movie requests that you have!

A huge thank you to CrystalBorf for recommending The Greatest Showman, this one was especially fun to write their reactions to!

Chapter Text

Hunter: So.

 

Hunter: Musicals, huh?

 

Echo: Looks like it.

 

Hunter: Any idea what those are?

 

Tech: Nope.

 

Wrecker: What did Anakin put on the list?

 

Hunter: Uhh…

 

Hunter: Something called “The Greatest Showman”

 

Hunter: “Singing Lovebirds”???

 

Echo: Shouldn’t that be under romance?

 

Hunter: “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham”

 

Tech: that

 

Tech: that’s not English

 

Echo: what’s english

 

Tech: it’s what earth people here call basic

 

Echo: oh

 

Tech: Earth must be a planet with two main languages, then

 

Wrecker: just use that google thing

 

Tech: isn’t that din’s job?

 

Wrecker: technically but it’s only so he feels like he’s doing something productive when anakin starts causing chaos

 

Tech: ahh ok

 

Tech: Alright Google, how many languages are there on Earth?

 

Echo: Must be one of those weird planets with three main languages

 

Echo: This Singing Lovebirds movie doesn’t look like Basic either

 

Tech:

 

Tech: well.

 

Hunter: What now?

 

Tech: It would seem the number of languages on this Earth is around 7,106

 

Hunter: That can’t be right

 

Hunter: Maybe it’s like Coruscant. where there’s too many different species to have a main language

 

Tech: Nope

 

Tech: Only humans

 

Hunter:

 

Hunter: we need to show this to the others

 

Echo: 7000….languages…..

 

Hunter: Also we have two more 

 

Hunter: “That Bloody Woman”

 

Echo: anakin

 

Echo: what

 

Hunter: and “The Book of Life”

 

Wrecker: Are those characters made of…wood?

 

Hunter: Looks like it.

 

Hunter: Alright, Anakin

 

Hunter: Let’s see what kind of Earth culture you’ve got for us

 

The Greatest Showman

 

Hunter: Oh cool, who made that giant heading thing?

 

Tech: Me

 

Tech: I’m sending it to the others so they can document their movies as well

 

Hunter: Great

 

Hunter: Ok, The Greatest Showman

 

Wrecker: oh look a song

 

Wrecker: guess that’s why they call them musicals

 

Echo: woah

 

Echo: Earth people do some weird tricks

 

Hunter: wait no go back where did all the colors go

 

Tech: I think that’s supposed to be him as a youngling

 

Echo: Are we sure this one isn’t supposed to be for the romance people too?

 

Wrecker: Are you all thinking what I’m thinking

 

Hunter: Earth people age really fast?

 

Echo: hunter that’s supposed to be sped up. they’re showing them getting older so they can get to the good stuff.

 

Hunter: oh

 

Tech: We should make one of those lanterns

 

Wrecker: that is exactly what i’m thinking

 

Hunter: Ok, so Earth people work jobs at desks like they do back home

 

Hunter: Except if they get fired, they make a weird museum!

 

Echo: Well now he’s doing something different

 

Wrecker: I bet we could work in a circus

 

Hunter: You probably could

 

Hunter: So could Din

 

Hunter: He could be Tin Can Man

 

Wrecker: These are some cool shows

 

Wrecker: Omega would’ve liked these

 

Hunter:

 

Hunter: too soon

 

Echo: Guys look, they have cantinas here too!

 

Echo: why are they dancing in the cantina

 

Hunter: I think it’s just because it’s a musical

 

Hunter: none of the government agents have started singing whenever we see them

 

Echo: Ohhhh, they have a Queen here too!

 

Tech: Didn’t Anakin say a president assigned them to stay in the compounds though?

 

Echo: oh

 

Echo: but…there’s a lady named queen victoria?

 

Echo: are you telling me they have more than one planetary leader too

 

Hunter: first languages, now this

 

Hunter: earth seems like an entire galaxy in one small planet

 

Wrecker: Oooh I like this song, what’s it called?

 

Hunter: Uhhhh

 

Hunter: “This Is Me”

 

Tech: I don’t get it, why don’t the parents like Anne?

 

Hunter: I dunno

 

Hunter: Maybe cause she’s in the circus???

 

Tech: But…they’re fine with their son being in the circus…

 

Echo: Are Anne and Phillip just Anakin and Padmé

 

Hunter:

 

Hunter: wait you’re right

 

Wrecker: Ooh another song

 

Wrecker: what’s a tightrope

 

Hunter: Probably just a really taught piece of rope

 

Wrecker: but why is she singing about walking on it

 

Echo: She kissed him????

 

Echo: Again, are we sure this isn’t a romance?

 

Hunter: Ooh a brawl

 

Hunter: Ok, so Earth people fight a lot

 

Hunter: Good to know, I can do that pretty well

 

Hunter: Not so much the singing

 

Echo: Oh look everything’s falling apart!

 

Echo: good to see that happens here too

 

Hunter: Ok that was a good ending

 

Tech: That was a very good ending

 

Wrecker: You know, I think I like Earth movies

Chapter 77: April Fool’s Shenanakins

Notes:

Happy April Fool’s day, y’all!

i most definitely did not consider making this a blank chapter as an april fool’s prank. not at all.

Chapter Text

Ahsoka has started a chat room

 

Ahsoka invited Fennec, Cara, Maul, Asajj

 

Ahsoka: I have discovered an important new piece of Earth Culture that must be shared with Anakin immediately

 

Asajj: then…share it…with anakin

 

Ahsoka: Let’s just say it’s not that simple

 

Fennec: So…what is this Earth Culture thing?

 

Ahsoka: It’s called April Fool’s Day

 

Maul: A day for fools?

 

Maul: I can see why you immediately thought of Anakin.

 

Cara:

 

Cara: well i can see why she chose to tell us first

 

Ahsoka: Basically, it’s a day where you have to prank as many people as possible!

 

Fennec: And you want us to… introduce this to Anakin?

 

Ahsoka: Yes, you could certainly say that

 

Asajj:

 

Asajj: who’s got sand?

 

Ahsoka: i knew i could count on you guys

 

Maul: eh

 

Maul: Just so you know, I’m very likely to backstab you in the middle of this

 

Ahsoka: Obviously

 

Ahsoka: Makes it more interesting for me

 

Fennec: How are we going to rig a sand trap in the middle of a movie?

 

Maul: …

 

Maul: We need a bucket

 

Cara: I just went to check, the door is slightly propped open

 

Fennec: How are we gonna get the sand bucket on top of the door without them noticing?

 

Asajj: Force stuff

 

Fennec: oh yeah levitation magic

 

Ahsoka: I GOT THE SAND

 

Cara: We’re on our way

 

Maul: i needed an excuse to stop watching that movie anyway

 

Asajj: same

 

Cara: It can’t be THAT bad

 

Maul: there’s something called “high school” and they go around singing a lot

 

Cara: high

 

Cara: school?

 

Asajj: THAT’S WHAT I SAID

 

Ahsoka: Guys help me pour the sand into Fennec’s bucket

 

Ahsoka: If I get any on the floor Anakin’s gonna kill me

 

Cara: what if

 

Cara: we left a trail of sand around his room

 

Asajj: Nah he shares with Padmé

 

Asajj: Do you really wanna mess with Padmé?

 

Cara: good point

 

Ahsoka: Bucket is ready

 

Ahsoka: Maul, Asajj… go levítate things

 

Maul: Why not you?

 

Ahsoka: Only I know the best way to summon Anakin

 

Asajj: Maul go left

 

Asajj: LEFT

 

Maul: THAT IS LEFT

 

Asajj: MAKE AN L WITH YOUR HANDS

 

Maul: WHY

 

Asajj: JUST DO IT

 

Maul: OK FINE

 

Asajj: NOW WHICH WAY IS THE L FACING THE RIGHT WAY

 

Maul: THIS HAND

 

Asajj: EXACTLY

 

Asajj: THAT'S YOUR LEFT

 

Maul: oh

 

Fennec: You’ve made it this far without knowing which side is the left?

 

Cara: did you think you were right-handed your whole life

 

Maul:

 

Maul: ASAJJ I’M LEFT-HANDED

 

Asajj:

 

Asajj: see sometimes i wonder how you got your legs chopped off by a teenage obi-wan

 

Asajj: but then there’s times like this where i completely understand

 

Ahsoka: please just put the bucket on the door before someone hears

 

Fennec: Mission accomplished

 

Cara: so how are you gonna get only anakin to come out?

 

Ahsoka: Watch and learn

 

Ahsoka invited Anakin

 

Ahsoka: SKYGUY

 

Anakin: AHSOKA I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT

 

Anakin: SKYGUY SKYGUY SKYGUY

 

Anakin: ALRIGHT THAT’S IT

 

Anakin: AHSOKA YOU BETTER GET OVER HERE RIGHTDJAKACKSNAMAKAOC

 

Cara: Now it’s a mission accomplished

 

Ahsoka: April Fool’s!

Chapter 78: Musicals (Pt. 2)

Notes:

Apologies for the shorter chapter! My keyboard broke down and things have been kind of hectic lately, next chapter will be back to normal length!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Singing Lovebirds

 

Hunter: Thanks Tech

 

Tech: Yep

 

Wrecker: And we’re sure this one doesn’t go in the romance category?

 

Echo: Well

 

Echo: We did kind of miss the first twenty minutes because Anakin was trying to murder Ahsoka for dumping sand on his head

 

Echo: So I’m not entirely sure what this one’s about

 

Hunter: did we break the movie

 

Wrecker: what?

 

Hunter: there’s no colors

 

Hunter: the last one had so many colors, where did they all go?

 

Echo:

 

Echo: Let’s just hope it’s supposed to be like that

 

Wrecker: ooooooh those umbrellas are nicer than ours

 

Tech: stop texting i wanna listen to the songs

 

Wrecker: This

 

Wrecker: This is basically a romance movie

 

Tech: but with music

 

Wrecker: Fair

 

Hunter: So people like to buy old relics and have dramatic love situations

 

Hunter: It’s like we never left home

 

Echo: I don’t know

 

Echo: At least these people can actually sing

 

Wrecker 

 

Wrecker: i-

 

Tech: Well he’s not wrong.

 

Wrecker: hmm

 

Wrecker: i don’t like romance holos

 

Wrecker: but maybe romance movies are not bad

 

Hunter: Alright, so what did we learn from Singing Lovebirds?

 

Tech: Earth people are basically Obi-Wan and Anakin and Padmé

 

Tech: Same drama

 

Tech: Same weird romance problems

 

Tech: Same habits of buying useless things and thinking they’re a good purchase

 

Hunter: *cough* obi-wan *cough*

 

Echo: And they have cooler umbrellas than we do

 

Hunter: Excellent

 

Hunter: On to… Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham?

Notes:

Edit:
to the absolutely *lovely* people/bots who are leaving spam comments claiming i have written this with ai:
1. this fic started long before ai existed in the greater public, so i’m going to assume that means you think i’m a time traveler and am extremely flattered by this. now if you don’t mind, i’m going to travel back in time to go meet the dinosaurs.
2. bold of you to assume i know anything about using ai. i’m actually quite honored, considering i only recently found out how to loop youtube videos.
3. i am very amused that y’all think i’ve used multiple ai platforms to create a single chapter because i am way too lazy for that. i’m also starting to think you’re making these ai names up.

May the force be with y’all!

Chapter 79: Musicals (Pt.3)

Notes:

Sorry I’ve been dead lately! Mandalorian s3 has left me with so many ideas, and things have been as chaotic as… *gestures vaguely at all these characters* On the bright side, this chapter is about the length of two, so you’re basically getting two for the price of one. Maybe that makes it worth the wait? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

not gonna lie, i only included this one as an excuse to blast the soundtrack while writing
(100/10 would recommend to you and everyone within a five kilometer radius of you. same goes for the actual movie. it’s long, but it’s also free on youtube, so…)

Chapter Text

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

 

Tech: Are we sure this one is a movie?

 

Hunter: It was on the list Anakin gave us

 

Tech: But…it just looks like those holovids families take?

 

Hunter: Trust me, it was on the list Anakin gave us

 

Echo: Are we considering the fact that Anakin is the one who made this list

 

Hunter: See look, it’s a sports movie

 

Wrecker: Didn’t the summary say it was a family movie?

 

Wrecker: Oh never mind, he’s talking about his parents now???

 

Echo: So people here enjoy sports too!

 

Hunter: why are the grandmothers arguing

 

Tech: Hunter just read the subtitles

 

Hunter: I CAN’T READ THAT FAST

 

Echo: So the grandmothers are married, right?

 

Wrecker: no???

 

Wrecker: they’re always fighting, why would you think that

 

Echo: I mean all the couples here fight all the time

 

Wrecker: ok yeah fair

 

Hunter: Wait I missed something

 

Hunter: Did we go back in time?

 

Tech: Yes, Hunter…

 

Tech: They’re telling Rohan about his brother

 

Hunter: He has a brother???

 

Tech: Yes..

 

Echo: To be fair, Rohan didn’t know either

 

Wrecker: oooh a celebration

 

Echo: Is this

 

Echo: did we get tricked into another romance movie

 

Echo: This Naina person seems a little too much like a romantic interest

 

Tech: wow that little kid is annoying

 

Wrecker: you just don’t like kids

 

Tech: i like omega??

 

Wrecker: but she’s impossible not to like

 

Hunter: Weird family

 

Hunter: Good to know some things never change

 

Echo: Wait, new characters?

 

Wrecker: MORE MUSIC

 

Hunter: Wrecker, they’re musicals

 

Wrecker: BUT THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD

 

Echo: My Earth-comm is dying, I’m gonna go find a charger

 

Tech: They’re called Phones here

 

Echo: well it’s still dying so

 

Hunter: Yeah mine’s getting low on power, I’m gonna turn it off

 

Hunter: This is a long movie anyway

 

*ABOUT TWO HOURS LATER (yes, this is a long movie)*

 

Echo: Why are the brothers staring at each other?

 

Hunter: Ok, so brothers are still weird on Earth too

 

Wrecker: I fell asleep, what happened?

 

Hunter: Rahul married Anjali and his father kicked them out and now the brother is trying to fix things

 

Wrecker:

 

Wrecker: and that took two hours?

 

Hunter: it was a wild ride

 

Echo: Hunter cried

 

Hunter: I DID NOT

 

Echo: HUNTER CRIED I SAW IT I WAS THERE

 

Hunter: I STARTED TEARING UP BECAUSE TECH KICKED ME IN THE STOMACH

 

Tech: It was an accident!

 

Echo: Also, the little sister from earlier grew up and now she’s very sassy

 

Echo: We’re betting on whether or not she’s flirting with Rohan

 

Echo: or just being… weird

 

Echo: Oh and she’s working with Rohan to fix the family

 

Wrecker: what’s going on now

 

Tech: They seem to be singing and falling in love

 

Wrecker: and this is…

 

Tech: Rohan and Pooja

 

Tech: The kid from earlier and the other kid from earlier, except as adults

 

Wrecker: …n-now what’s going on

 

Tech: i have…no idea

 

Wrecker: Hunter, do a google thing

 

Wrecker: what’s a prom?

 

Hunter: Google says it’s a dance thingy for kids in academy

 

Hunter: Apparently you go as a couple

 

Hunter: I think she’s trying to get Rohan to go with her

 

Wrecker: But aren’t they supposed to be fixing their family?

 

Echo: …there’s a reason it took us two hours to get to this point

 

Echo: Oh this looks like the nightclub Obi-Wan says Anakin dragged him into once

 

Tech: i’m sorry the what that what

 

Echo: You’ve never heard?

 

Echo: Actually, I’m not surprised

 

Echo: It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you

 

Hunter: so did anakin and obi-wan also flirt while singing and dancing or

 

Echo:

 

Echo: we can only imagine

 

Hunter: Wait why are they crying and calling the mother-in-law?

 

Tech: Google says that it’s a holiday where the mother-in-law gets the daughter-in-law gifts

 

Tech: She doesn’t actually know it’s her real mother-in-law

 

Hunter: wait that’s actually nice

 

Echo: Can you do a Google for why they’re fasting?

 

Tech: Google says it’s part of the holiday for women to fast for their husbands

 

Echo: But…they’re not married…

 

Tech: I believe this is what as known as foreshadowing

 

Wrecker: Ok, this is the new best song

 

Hunter: You say that every song

 

Wrecker: shhh

 

Hunter: WAIT THE PARENTS ARE THERE

 

Hunter: THE PARENTS SHOWED UP

 

Wrecker: What?

 

Hunter: THEY KICKED RAHUL AND ANJALI OUT AND NOW THEY’RE BACK 🥹

 

Echo: HUNTER’S CRYING AGAIN

 

Hunter: I AM NOT

 

Hunter: oh it was just a dream

 

Echo: wait really

 

Hunter: NOW ECHO’S CRYING

 

Echo: I—

 

Echo: yes i’m crying just look at that how do you not cry

 

Echo: look their mom is waiting for them at home too, look me in the eye and tell me you’re not crying at that

 

Hunter: ok yeah now i’m crying

 

Wrecker: Ok so now Daijann and Anjali know it’s Rohan?

 

Tech: Yeah

 

Echo: HUNTER’S CRYING AGAIN

 

Hunter: I’M FINE

 

Tech: You’re both crying

 

Tech: Oh look now Wrecker’s crying

 

Tech: the kids are just singing, why are you—

 

Wrecker: …

 

Tech: it was dust in my eye!

 

Wrecker: This scene is so happy, why am I crying

 

Hunter: earth humans

 

Hunter: earth humans are very good at emotions

 

Echo: OH NO ALL THE FAMILIES ARE COMING TOGETHER

 

Echo: ANAKIN DID NOT PREPARE US FOR THIS

 

Echo: I NEED TISSUES

 

Hunter: Speaking of Anakin, this story is very Skywalkers

 

Hunter: Rohan and Anjali weren’t supposed to be in love, and neither are Anakin and Padmé

 

Wrecker: Does this mean Obi-Wan is the father?

 

Tech: Who’s the brother?

 

Echo: Cody’s the mom

 

Hunter: I bet Luke and Leia are the brother

 

Echo: They’re his kids…

 

Hunter: yeah, but they’ve done more to get obi-wan to accept anakin and padmé being in a relationship than anyone else here

 

Hunter: except maybe the sequel kids, and that’s only because they’re so cynical that anakin and padmé being in a relationship is the least they have to worry about

 

Echo: At least this family hasn’t caused as much chaos as the Skywalkers…

 

Echo: oh wait no now the father knows, this can’t be good

 

Hunter: None of you are allowed to tell Anakin I cried this much

 

Tech: none of you are allowed to tell anakin i cried at all

 

Echo: nO NOT AGAIN

 

Echo: DOES THIS MOVIE HAVE NO LIMITS TO HOW SAD IT CAN GET

 

Wrecker: noooooo she was so funny

 

Wrecker: i was going to say we should make anakin watch this to get a taste of his own medicine but this crossed a line

 

Wrecker: it’s too sad, i can’t even force it on anakin

 

Hunter: FINALLY SOMETHING HAPPY

 

Tech: I don’t think I’ve ever smiled this much

 

Wrecker: I can confirm, you have not

 

Tech: I never want to watch this movie again but I want to watch it over and over

 

Echo: that

 

Echo: that was an excellent ending

 

Wrecker: that was better than excellent

 

Wrecker: …Let’s make Anakin watch it

 

Hunter: Do we give him tissues?

 

Echo: hmm…

 

Echo: nah

Chapter 80: Musicals (Pt. 4)

Notes:

A/N: For my mental health and so y’all don’t have to read through 30+ chapters of the movie thing, the rest of the categories will be 1-2 chapters of general reactions instead of 30 full, in-depth reactions.

also, this chapter is brought to you by the two guys i overheard talking the other day:
guy 1: what’s the worst possible way to die?
guy 2 (who knows as much about star wars as din djarin): being killed by your own kid!!
instantly reminded me of rise of chaos. thanks, random guys, for motivating me to write a new chapter of this.

Chapter Text

Echo: So… my Earth datapad is running out of battery.

 

Tech: Earth people call them phones, Echo.

 

Echo: Right.

 

Echo: it’s still running out of battery though.

 

Hunter: So is mine

 

Hunter: Let’s just go charge them and then watch the last two movies.

 

Hunter: I can write down the notes on flimsi for later and we can show Anakin

 

Tech: …

 

Hunter: what he’ll be fine with it

 

Tech:

 

Hunter: OH i did it again didn’t i?

 

Hunter: Earth people are weird, why would you call flimsi “paper”?

 

Hunter: It’s flimsy and feels like film, so call it flimsi.

 

Hunter: not…paper.

 

Echo: Yeah well Anakin says we should adapt to Earth customs if we’re going to be here a while

 

Hunter: Yes I know that but why should we adopt the stupid customs?

 

Echo: i don’t know hunter i think paper is stupid too

 

Echo: i’m just telling you what anakin said

 

Wrecker: …I’ll go charge the datapads

 

Wrecker: phones

 

Wrecker: i meant phones

 

Tech: …

 

Echo: Someone should tell Anakin we’re taking flimsi notes

 

Echo: but not me, i don’t feel like moving

 

Hunter:

 

Hunter: fine i’ll do it

 

Tech: I’ll start putting the movie on

 

*SOMETHING-OR-OTHER HOURS LATER*

 

Hunter: So… what did we learn?

 

Echo: Women… couldn’t vote???

 

Wrecker: Someone should make a second “That Bloody Woman” about Padmé in the Senate

 

Hunter: oh definitely

 

Hunter: Especially when she got the petition to pass

 

Tech: Well that was only one country

 

Tech: Countries here are the Earth equivalent of planets, correct?

 

Tech: The country in That Bloody Woman  is probably the equivalent of that one odd planet who won’t let certain groups vote

 

Echo: …

 

Echo: I’m gonna google it

 

Hunter: we should tell jyn about this

 

Hunter: she would start a riot over not being able to vote

 

Tech: I… don’t think Jyn can legally vote in our galaxy because of her status as an intergalactic criminal

 

Hunter: oh yeah i forgot about that

 

Echo: oh

 

Wrecker: Oh what?

 

Wrecker: Is that a good oh or a bad oh?

 

Echo: well apparently a most places didn’t allow women to vote

 

Echo: but it also says things have mostly changed

 

Hunter: well that’s… better

 

Wrecker: Well I learned that Earth snakes are terrifying

 

Tech: The Book of Life was certainly an interesting movie

 

Echo: Hands down had the best music

 

Wrecker: No way, Greatest Showman’s music was much better

 

Tech: I found the music of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham to be quite… moving

 

Wrecker: you cried so hard

 

Tech: it was only a few tears

 

Wrecker: yeah but for you that’s like

 

Wrecker: a complete breakdown

 

Hunter: He has a point, you know

 

Hunter: And That Bloody Woman’s soundtrack was by far the best, if we’re arguing over those

 

Wrecker: RIP Singing Lovebirds

 

Hunter: It was good… I just spaced out for most of it

 

Echo: Well Book of Life taught me that Earth has puffer pigs except smaller, rounder, and pink

 

Echo: And I think the pig from Book of Life is officially my new favorite part of Earth

 

Hunter: Book of Life taught me that there is someone on this planet who sounds almost exactly like Cassian, except he can sing really really well

 

Wrecker: …

 

Wrecker: you know what that means?

 

Echo: The guy in the movie is a good singer?

 

Hunter: We should get Cassian to sing.

 

Wrecker: Absolutely.

 

Tech: I do not think he will respond to you trying to get him to sing

 

Hunter: Hmm, you’re right…

 

Echo: get jyn to do it

 

Wrecker: yES LET’S

 

Hunter: …

 

Hunter: After I turn in our notes to Anakin

 

Hunter: Anything else to add?

 

Tech: The people here do not seem to understand the Force

 

Tech: There were many different entities they believed in, though

 

Echo: They have these things called “guitars” and they play amazing music

 

Echo: they’re like halliksets but wider and less of a circle at the bottom

 

Wrecker: I think we’re all forgetting something very important about Book of Life

 

Hunter: They died and then came back to life?

 

Wrecker: no that happens in our galaxy too

 

Wrecker: The whole family fought giant Earth-reeks

 

Wrecker: and won

 

Hunter: Oh yeah, those

 

Hunter: What were they called?

 

Tech: Bulls.

 

Tech: The whole family fought bulls

 

Tech: Except for the one who sounded like Cassian

 

Wrecker: Yeah except for him

 

Hunter: This seems like a good amount of notes to share with the group.

 

Hunter: I wonder if Anakin will try to fight a bull after this

 

Echo: Knowing Anakin?

 

Echo: Definitely.

Chapter 81: Mysteries (Pt. 1)

Notes:

Part 1 of 2 of the Mystery Crew. Huge thanks to Polara-426 for recommending National Treasure, and to 19BBY for recommending Clue!

Chapter Text

Evaan has started a chat room

 

Evaan invited Luke

 

Evaan invited Leia

 

Evaan invited Han

 

Evaan: Mystery crew.

 

Evaan: We have been tasked with watching “National Treasure,” “Murder on the Orient Express,” “Knives Out,” and “Clue”

 

Leia: So…where did Anakin find all these movies?

 

Evaan: he just sent me four links and each one is one of the movies

 

Evaan: i don’t think we’re supposed to question where they’re coming from

 

Leia: …great.

 

Luke: Why did we agree to this again?

 

Han: We didn’t.

 

Han: I’m only here because you all are from my time.

 

Evaan: oh…right

 

Evaan: that

 

Leia: Let’s just watch each one and write down our Earth Culture observations after

 

Evaan: Works for me

 

Luke: Sure

 

Han: Yeah, I don’t care

 

Evaan: Great… let’s start with National Treasure

 

About 2 hours later

 

Leia: …

 

Leia: So can we all agree that leaving the Constitution out of our notes would be a good idea, since Anakin would probably also try to steal it?

 

Evaan: Oh, definitely.

 

Han: Earth people like stealing things just like people in our galaxy

 

Leia: Of course that’s the connection you would make

 

Luke: People steal important government documents here???

 

Leia: yeah no they did that back home too it just wasn’t as stupid

 

Evaan: At least they were stealing it to protect it

 

Evaan: People in our galaxy just… steal stuff

 

Han: Yeah

 

Leia: you would know

 

Han: Leave me alone!

 

Luke: …how are they in a relationship again?

 

Evaan: i’m starting to feel bad for their kid

 

Leia: Hey, hold on a minute

 

Leia: When did we ever decide it was my kid who’s going around murdering people?

 

Han: Yeah, I’ve been in plenty of relationships

 

Leia: hold on

 

Han: uh

 

Leia: …we’re going to be having a talk after this movie thing

 

Evaan:

 

Evaan: I feel somewhat to blame for this, but you know what?

 

Evaan: This is healthy. This is a good thing. You know?

 

Luke: …

 

Evaan: leave me alone i need to be delusional right now

 

Evaan: Ok, let’s get this back on track

 

Evaan: Earth people also have something called the Freemasons, except none of them are named Mason, so…

 

Luke: Yeah, that was disappointing.

 

Leia: What’s next?

 

Evaan: It’s called, uh… Murder on the Orient Express

 

Luke: Well it’s not a mystery if we know that someone is gonna be murdered…

 

Leia: Luke… the mystery is who murdered them

 

Han:

 

Han: i relate to this movie more than i should

 

2 hours later

 

Leia: That… that was a movie

 

Evaan: why did the one lady

 

Evaan: why did she look like rey

 

Leia: i mean…

 

Leia: no, rey doesn’t even know what a hairbrush is.

 

Leia: i see the similarities, but there are too many differences.

 

Luke: I dunno, I kinda see it.

 

Han: i think you’re all focusing on the wrong thing

 

Han: …why did they decide to murder a guy on a train???

 

Evaan: would you rather they murdered him somewhere else

 

Han: Good point

 

Luke: I liked this one

 

Luke: Earth mysteries are pretty cool

 

Evaan: Ok, so we’ve learned that Earth mysteries are cool, people here are really good at keeping secrets, don’t ride a train, and people don’t like doctors?

 

Han: They don’t like doctors?

 

Evaan: I don’t know, some people were rude to the doctor

 

Han: Oh yeah, maybe they don’t like doctors.

 

Leia: Well that’s stupid.

 

Leia: Don’t forget to add “Don’t mess with detectives”

 

Evaan: Got it

 

Evaan: On to the next movie?

 

Luke: Sure

 

Evaan: Time for… “Knives Out”

 

Evaan: what was that noise

 

Leia: Well

 

Leia: It sounded like someone just got stabbed

 

Evaan:

 

Evaan: i manifested a murder

 

Evaan: we are nOT WATCHING THE REST OF THESE MOVIES

 

Han: Relax, I just went to check

 

Han: Ahsoka and a bunch of other people dumped a bucket of sand on Anakin

 

Evaan: oh

 

Evaan: On to Knives Out, then!

Chapter 82: Mysteries (Pt. 2)

Chapter Text

Luke: At least now I understand why it’s called Knives Out

 

Evaan: …what just happened

 

Leia: i don’t even know

 

Leia: but that

 

Leia: that was a good movie

 

Evaan: Yep!

 

Luke: Wait

 

Luke: So who killed the Harlan guy?

 

Leia: …

 

Luke: What?

 

Leia: the one who got arrested at the end

 

Luke: But… wasn’t the one who got arrested at the end…

 

Leia: Yes

 

Luke: Then how…

 

Leia:

 

Leia: I’ll tell you later

 

Evaan: not to be that person again

 

Leia: Evaan, the last time you said something like this we started fighting

 

Evaan: It’s healthy for people in a relationship to disagree!

 

Evaan: except when it’s you two apparently

 

Evaan: then it’s just mildly destructive

 

Luke: Only mildly?

 

Evaan: Shhhh

 

Evaan: anyways, not to be that person again…

 

Leia: Quick, somebody steal her phone—

 

Evaan: but this movie kind of reminded me of the skywalker family

 

Leia:

 

Leia: the door is that way, evaan.

 

Leia: now use it.

 

Evaan: Hey, I’m just making an evidence-based observation

 

Luke: I can see it a little?

 

Luke: We don’t have that much drama tho

 

Evaan:

 

Evaan: this is the part where all the future kids would start looking at each other

 

Leia: I really don’t want to think about that

 

Han: You guys have plenty of drama even without the future kids

 

Leia: Han you’re 90% of the drama

 

Han: That’s not true!

 

Luke: remember that time you chased a bunch of stormtroopers and more stormtroopers came and we all almost died

 

Han:

 

Leia: the time you almost got us eaten by a space slug

 

Han:

 

Evaan: three words

 

Evaan: battle of yavin.

 

Han:

 

Han: wait luke and leia have to take some credit for the battle of yavin

 

Luke: Yeah true

 

Han: The other times…

 

Han: give me five minutes to think of an excuse

 

Evaan: Nope!

 

Evaan: Time to watch Clue

 

About 1 hour and 40 minutes later

 

Evaan: Wait, I’m confused

 

Han: hi confused

 

Han: i’m han

 

Evaan: …

 

Evaan: now i really feel bad for your kid

 

Leia: Ok, wait, Evaan’s right

 

Han: Hey!

 

Leia: Not about that

 

Leia: I’m just…not getting involved in that mess

 

Leia: I am also confused about the movie ending

 

Leia: Endings???

 

Luke: Endings

 

Luke: I’m just confused about why all their names were colors

 

Evaan: Oh those were fake names

 

Han: so do all earth mystery movies involve murder or

 

Luke: National Treasure didn’t

 

Evaan: National Treasure was more of a puzzle solving movie than a mystery solving movie

 

Han: at least nobody died

 

Leia: han’s just being sensitive after the guy in murder on the orient express got stabbed 👀

 

Han: …

 

Han: Not you guys too

 

Han: You’re supposed to support me when the future kids do the thing where they all look at each other

 

Evaan: Jokes on you, I already know who your kid is

 

Evaan: Pretty sure most of the people in the compounds have also figured it out

 

Evaan: Anyways, movie. Ending.

 

Luke: Endings.

 

Evaan: Yeah, that

 

Leia: So… there were three endings?

 

Luke: I bet it was the first one, cause why would they show the real one in the middle or last

 

Evaan: True, they probably wouldn’t put the real ending in the middle

 

Leia: Or would they?

 

Leia: It could be a trick

 

Evaan: ugh you’re right

 

Han: The last one was the most chaotic

 

Han: So far Earth has been very chaotic

 

Han: So the last one is probably true

 

Leia: that

 

Leia: that might be the most logical thing i’ve heard anyone in this room say since we started

 

Evaan: It was definitely the wildest

 

Evaan: And Orient Express and Knives Out both had wild endings

 

Evaan: So it’s probably that one

 

Leia: Hmm I still think it’s the second one cause it’s right in the middle of the other two

 

Leia: It’s trying too hard to be perfectly average, which is suspicious

 

Leia: Like the guy in Knives Out

 

Luke: I still think it’s the first and the other two are just there to make it more interesting

 

Evaan: Anything else we need to write down to show the group?

 

Luke: …People on Earth dress weird?

 

Leia: They also blackmail each other, which happens in our galaxy too

 

Leia: Except we use different blackmail material

 

Evaan: well obviously not everyone is gonna have the same scandals

 

Evaan: but yeah i’ll write that down

 

Han: People on Earth apparently think it’s a good idea to go to a strange person’s house alone at night even though there’s a bunch of movies showing exactly why that’s a bad idea?

 

Evaan: …yeah, for people who go around solving mysteries, these mystery movie characters aren’t very smart

Chapter 83: Horror (Pt. 1)

Notes:

Thanks to Polara-426 for recommending Predator and Alien for this!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Poe has started a chat room

 

Poe invited Future Kids

 

Rose: Oh, so we’re going to embrace that nickname then?

 

Finn: Do we really have a choice?

 

Rose: good point

 

Poe: We’re supposed to watch… Scream, Black Swan, Alien, and Predator

 

Jannah: those are all such short titles why do they all sound so threatening

 

Jannah: if the titles are tiny the movies should be nice and sweet

 

Rey: well if i came up behind you and whispered scream in your ear it would be pretty threatening

 

Jannah: obviously

 

Rey: they’re just creepy words

 

Armitage: Am I allowed to ask why Rey’s coming up behind Jannah and whispering scream in her ear?

 

Zorii: Must be a Jedi thing

 

Armitage: Yea that checks out

 

Poe: We’re starting with Scream just because of this conversation

 

Jannah: wait but didn’t we just agree it sounded super threatening…

 

Kaydel: I guess we did get Horror as our category

 

About 2 hours later

 

Poe: I almost don’t want to ask

 

Poe: But what did we learn about Earth culture from that movie?

 

Rose:

 

Zorii: i am never sleeping again

 

Ben: I mean that seems a bit extreme…

 

Zorii: i am not sleeping until we leave this planet.

 

Ben: That’s a bit more reasonable

 

Armitage: I think we learned not to let Jannah watch horror movies because she screamed after the first two people died and now refuses to leave the closet

 

Poe: that’s nice but has nothing to do with earth culture

 

Poe: someone is working on getting her out of the closet right

 

Nimi: Kind of?

 

Rey: I think Poe shouldn’t be allowed to have the remote because if he keeps pausing the movie every time there’s an action scene and laughing at the blurry screen I’m locking him in the closet with Jannah

 

Mitaka: Don’t tell me you’re actually enjoying this

 

Rey: eh

 

Rey: it’s fine

 

Mitaka:

 

Poe: Guys we need to write something down or Anakin is gonna be mad

 

Poe: And they’re gonna ban the future kids from talking again

 

Zorii: Good point I want to keep talking

 

Finn: Never pick up the phone if you don’t know who’s calling because it might be a murderer

 

Poe: Got it. anyone else?

 

Kaydel: Earth has a lot of murder?

 

Poe: …sure, why not?

 

Armitage: I think Rose fell asleep

 

Poe: That has literally nothing to do with Earth

 

Poe: oh wait you’re right she is asleep

 

Zorii: how…

 

Rey: Earth people like being scared because apparently there’s 6 of these Sceam movies

 

Finn: that

 

Finn: that’s concerning

 

Rey: yep!

 

Poe: Maybe we should move on to Alien before this gets any more out of hand

 

Another 2 hours later

 

Kaydel: Space movie!

 

Armitage: that was certainly a movie that happened in space.

 

Zorii: i want to trade groups

 

Zorii: do you think padmé would let me watch family movies while she does this

 

Finn: the alien…just…exploded out of the guys chest…

 

Zorii: i don’t wanna talk about it

 

Rey: Well Earth people probably have access to some kind of space travel cause they were traveling in space

 

Rey: They also have droids I guess? Except the droids can pass as human.

 

Rey: Cyborgs???

 

Mitaka: how is she so casual about this

 

Jannah: Maybe it’s a Jedi thing

 

Finn: oh i forgot you were here

 

Jannah: i’m still in the closet

 

Jannah: except i can still hear the movie so it’s not really working

 

Ben: this… this is definitely not a jedi thing

 

Kaydel: jannah you should come watch with us, it’s not as scary

 

Jannah:

 

Jannah: are we forgetting the fact that two people died in the first ten minutes of the other movie

 

Kaydel: yea but me and zorii and nimi and rose are all huddled together so it’s a little less terrifying

 

Jannah:

 

Nimi: ok technically rose is asleep and we’re hiding our faces in her jacket during the scary parts but still

 

Jannah: fine. but i better not regret this.

 

Nimi: Oh if we’re still taking notes then I guess Earth people also not as good at space travel as us cause they have to go into stasis to fly to other planets and we have lightspeed so we don’t have to do that

 

Mitaka: they’re also bad at naming ships because who names their ship the “nostromo”

 

Nimi: yea that too

 

Armitage: We’re forgetting the most important thing

 

Armitage: Earth people have cats

 

Kaydel: OH YEA

 

Rey: The most important part of the movie, honestly

 

Ben: do you think anakin would let you get another cat

 

Ben: just so we could have a pet in the compounds

 

Rey: We could name it Jones!

 

Armitage: Are you suggesting we replace Millicent?

 

Armitage: are you suggesting millicent can be replaced

 

Ben: no that’s not what i meant

 

Ben: why have one cat when you can have two

 

Armitage:

 

Zorii: Hey, the logic is sound

Notes:

If anyone has any romance movie recommendations, especially ones with actors who have been in Star Wars, I would greatly appreciate them! (I’m not really a romance person so I have no idea where to start with that category 😅)

Chapter 84: Horror (Pt. 2)

Chapter Text

Poe: Take a vote guys

 

Poe: Raise your hand if you want to watch Black Swan next

 

Poe: well that seems pretty unanimous

 

Kaydel: that sounds slightly less threatening than the others

 

Jannah: still horror tho…

 

Kaydel: but look it’s got birds on it, that can’t be scary

 

Kaydel: birds are nice

 

Rey: Not porgs

 

Rey: Porgs are little terrors

 

Rose: They’re so sweet!

 

Zorii: oh hey you’re awake

 

Rose: yep

 

Zorii: …can we keep using you as a pillow?

 

Rose: can i stop you?

 

Zorii: Excellent point.

 

Armitage: The lady on the front kind of looks like Padmé

 

Finn: Ohh, is this the actress Padmé’s coworker told her she looked like a long time ago?

 

Armitage: Oh yea it is

 

Armitage: See, it’s Padmé’s secret twin!

 

Armitage: How can a movie with Padmé’s twin be scary?

 

About 2 hours later

 

Armitage: i take back what i said

 

Jannah: i

 

Jannah: i need to go hug padmé

 

Finn: tell her it’s from all of us

 

Kaydel: Rey was right

 

Kaydel: Birds are terrors

 

Nimi: Earth people have nice dances but not nice people who dance them

 

Mitaka: that about sums it up

 

Rey: Earth people also have a crippling fear of not being enough for the people around them and being easily replaceable!

 

Poe:

 

Poe: i feel like that’s something we should definitely discuss at some point but ok i’ll add it to the list

 

Ben: Earth people will also use each other to get what they want and let themselves be used but at the end of the day realize it only hurt themselves

 

Poe:

 

Poe: guys this is why people don’t let us talk

 

Zorii: Earth people also have fancy dances?

 

Poe: that’s more like it

 

Zorii: except they call it ballet and we call it

 

Zorii: uh

 

Zorii: idk i was never into that stuff

 

Kaydel: pretty sure we also call it ballet on some worlds

 

Zorii: oh then we both have ballet

 

Jannah: hey guys i’m back

 

Jannah: padmé said thanks for the hug

 

Jannah: she was very confused

 

Armitage: Well you did randomly walk into the room, give her a hug, and then leave

 

Jannah: it’s fine i told her it was important

 

Finn: It was very important

 

Finn: We don’t want Padmé turning into a bird and all that

 

Rose: Guys do we have to watch the last movie?

 

Rose: I mean… it’s literally called Predator

 

Rose: i don’t like that

 

Armitage: You’ve slept through every other movie already and you’ll probably do the same for this one

 

Rose: And?

 

Armitage: why do you care if we watch it or not???

 

Rose: eh

 

Rose: I might stay awake this time

 

Rose: I was just trying to make up for the sleep I lost because my roommates were up all night

 

Poe: Oh well in that case sleep all you want

 

Poe: We do have to watch the movie tho cause Anakin will definitely know if we don’t

 

Slightly less than 2 hours later

 

Rey: Earth people have forests!!!

 

Armitage: That’s your only takeaway? Really?

 

Rey: yep

 

Mitaka: Scientifically speaking, it was more of a jungle than a forest

 

Rey: trees :)

 

Zorii: All I’m getting from these movies is that we’re lucky to still be alive

 

Zorii: This planet is more dangerous than it looks

 

Finn: Maybe that’s why we’re at Area 51

 

Finn: Because the thing in the movie tried to kill them all

 

Finn: So they don’t trust the uhhh… what did they call it

 

Rose: Aliens?

 

Finn: Yea they don’t trust aliens

 

Poe: that actually makes a lot of sense

 

Poe: i just thought they put us here cause they knew letting fennec and cara and anakin into the public would be a bad idea

 

Finn: Well that’s probably part of it too

 

Zorii: Earth people also have lots of interesting weapons

 

Poe: you’re not allowed to have any of those weapons

 

Zorii: you’re no fun

 

Zorii: Cara gets weapons!

 

Poe: Cara is an uncontrollable force of chaos

 

Poe: I’m not messing with her

 

Rey: Wait does this mean we’re done

 

Poe: Oh yea that’s all we were supposed to watch

 

Rey: Great I’m gonna go make a sandwich

 

Poe: nEVER MIND REY GET BACK HERE

 

Jannah: oh no

 

Poe: Someone please stop her, I have to convince Zorii not to build Earth weapons

 

Rose: Is it really possible to stop her from making another horrifying sandwich?

 

Rose: that wasn’t me volunteering by the way, i’m taking a nap

 

Mitaka: good idea

 

Mitaka: maybe if we ignore the problem it’ll go away

 

Zorii: That never works

 

Mitaka: Proof?

 

Zorii: why do you think din tries to hide in his room all day?

 

Zorii: But we’re obviously all still here, so…

 

Zorii: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Chapter 85: Bonus: May the 4th

Notes:

It lives! Sort of. Here’s to trying to continue this story once again now that I’ll have a bit more free time to write.

May the Fourth Be With You!

Chapter Text

Anakin: guys

 

Anakin: it’s may 4th

 

Fennec: Congratulations, you can read a calendar

 

Anakin: fennec no you don’t understand

 

Anakin: it’s the 4th of may

 

Asajj: This seems like a useless conversation

 

Poe: Is it your birthday or something?

 

Anakin: No

 

Anakin: Guys

 

Anakin: May the fourth.

 

Asajj: Anakin, you do know that repeating a date in different ways is not helpful in the slightest?

 

Anakin: Just think about it!

 

Fennec: nope

 

Fennec: too tired

 

Zorii: Then sleep?

 

Fennec: nope

 

Fennec: too tired

 

Zorii:

 

Anakin: May the Fourth, guys

 

Anakin: Today is literally telling us May the Force be with you!

 

Poe: …

 

Poe: nah that seems like a stretch

 

Anakin: You don’t see it at all? May the Fourth be with you?

 

Fennec: i can see it but i don’t want to

 

Asajj: How was I supposed to know that?

 

Asajj: That’s a Jedi thing

 

Obi-Wan: Just more proof that the Jedi are better than you

 

Zorii: Oh

 

Zorii: This is not Obi-Wan awake time

 

Fennec: Yeah Obi-Wan go back to sleep

 

Obi-Wan: Gladly

 

Asajj: Why do you guys get a day and we don’t ☹️

 

Asajj: I want a Sith day

 

Poe: May 5th

 

Poe: May…Sith?

 

Asajj:

 

Fennec: im starting to understand why we don’t let future kids talk

 

Asajj: wait i kind of like it

 

Asajj: Revenge of the Sith/Fifth

 

Asajj: Because you Jedi wouldn’t give us a day 😒

 

Poe: See, future kids can be useful!

 

Zorii: wheb we feel like it

 

Anakin: you can be useful but you can’t spell

 

Zorii: shhhhhh im tired

 

Fennec: no excuses, zorii

 

Din: Guys, for Force’s sakes

 

Din: It’s 2am, go to sleep

 

Din has left the chat

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: Guess the Fourth wasn’t with him

Chapter 86: I See Dead People!

Notes:

I’m going to be honest, I physically cannot continue with the movie storyline. It’s been a year and even trying to write a few lines of it just saps my will to create. I’m sorry if anyone was invested in it in any way, and I might add a couple bonus episodes now and then with the various movie groups, but it was just ruining my will to continue writing this story.

This chapter is going to start maybe a week or two later, and credit for the idea goes to the wonderful 19BBY for coming up with a fun way to introduce this character :)

Chapter Text

Ben: Hey guys

 

Ben: We have a problem

 

Din: what else is new

 

Cassian: I’ve got a bad feeling about this

 

Jyn: that’s your anxiety speaking

 

Cassian:

 

Jyn: Am I wrong?

 

Cassian: i’m not sure, actually

 

Ben: Guys seriously

 

Ben: There’s a new ghost in the compounds

 

Din:

 

Din: Of course!

 

Din: Of course there’s ghosts.

 

Din: Because why not?

 

Din: Not like my life can go any further off the rails.

 

Fennec: He’s snapped

 

Fennec: He’s finally snapped

 

Din: I am getting close!

 

Ahsoka: Is it at least a nice ghost?

 

Armitage: do nice ghosts usually dress in black armor and stare ominously at you from the corner of the room?

 

Ahsoka: Oh you can see it too?

 

Armitage: Is that bad?

 

Armitage: It feels bad. I don’t like the way he’s staring at me.

 

Ben: He seems familiar and I don’t think that’s a good thing

 

Rey: Familiar how?

 

Ahsoka: Hold on I want to see this ghost too

 

Ahsoka: You guys always get to do interesting things while I’m at work, I’m not missing out on this

 

Rey: Well I don’t think I’ve ever seen him before

 

Cara: Did you guys try talking to him?

 

Armitage: Can you talk to ghosts?

 

Ben: yes

 

Ben: and unfortunately they can talk to you as well

 

Rey: i’m gonna be honest, he looks more like some weird nightmare creation than an actual person

 

Ben: oh

 

Ben: that’s where i’ve seen him

 

Ahsoka: Your nightmares???

 

Ben: yeah…

 

Ahsoka: Well that’s just great.

 

Fennec: Hold up I wanna see the nightmare fuel ghost

 

Obi-Wan: You’re not force-sensitive, you can’t see ghosts

 

Armitage: Then how can I see the ghost?

 

Din: this doesn’t sound good

 

Jyn: Let’s go see the ghost!

 

Cassian: let’s not

 

Jyn: Let’s!

 

Rey: guys how many people are we trying to fit into this room

 

Obi-Wan: Where are you?

 

Ben: closet

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Obi-Wan: why?

 

Ben: play sabaac

 

Obi-Wan: That’s… surprisingly innocent for a future kid

 

Rey: what did you think we were doing, summoning demons?

 

Din: Let’s just say that none of us would be surprised if that’s what you were actually doing

 

Armitage: Hey, neither would we

 

Ahsoka: hey guys bad news

 

Ahsoka: the future kids weren’t exaggerating, we have a problem

 

Din: Oh no

 

Ahsoka: That’s not just a ghost

 

Ahsoka: That’s the ghost of Darth Vader.

Chapter 87: A Wild Darth Vader Appears!

Chapter Text

Anakin:

 

Anakin: So who’s Darth Vader?

 

Ahsoka:

 

Ahsoka: i don’t get paid enough for this

 

Armitage: THIS is the guy we built a government to copy?

 

Rey: he’s taller than i expected

 

Armitage: you’re just short

 

Rey: :(

 

Rey: Well at least I have self-respect

 

Armitage: You’re dating Ben, you clearly don’t

 

Ben: i

 

Ben: do i get a say in this or

 

Ahsoka: Guys stop arguing and help me deal with this ghost

 

Ahsoka: You’re future kids, you know why we need to deal with this quickly

 

Rey: True

 

Jyn: Can we see the ghost?

 

Ahsoka: Sure

 

Cassian: Oh he’s tall

 

Rey: See! It’s not just me!

 

Armitage: You’re still short

 

Cassian: Have you tried talking to him?

 

Ben: What are we even supposed to say?

 

Rey: He’s your family, you should talk to him

 

Cassian: I think I would know if I was related to… that

 

Rey: no not you

 

Ahsoka: you

 

Ahsoka: you’re related to darth vader???

 

Ben: Yeah??

 

Ahsoka:

 

Ahsoka: Darth Vader had KIDS???

 

Ahsoka:

 

Ahsoka: DARTH VADER’S KIDS HAD KIDS???

 

Ben: well kid singular but yes

 

Obi-Wan: Can you please explain to those of us who aren’t from the future who Darth Vader is?

 

Jyn: Technically we’re not from the future, you’re just from the past

 

Din: Please not this argument again

 

Leia: Did somebody say Darth Vader?

 

Din: Oh hey Leia

 

Din: oh

 

Din: oh that’s a knife

 

Leia: Where did you guys say he was?

 

Jyn: Are we going to kill a ghost?

 

Cassian: i don’t think that’s how it works…

 

Leia: We’re killing a ghost.

 

Cassian: he’s…already dead…

 

Leia: Get out of the way, Cassian.

 

Cassian: yes ma’am

 

Armitage: I think we should try talking to it before stabbing it but that’s just my personal opinion

 

Leia: Well you’re entitled to that opinion

 

Leia: And I’m entitled to murdering this ghost.

 

Armitage:

 

Armitage: would it be unprofessional to say she’s kind of my hero

 

Ben: Yeah???

 

Rey: Come to the light side ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Rey: We’ve got the better Skywalkers

 

Ben:

 

Ben: did you just

 

Ahsoka: Maybe we all need to be a little more levelheaded about this

 

Cassian: I agree with you, but if that’s your way of saying we need to take the knife from Leia then I will not be doing that

 

Cassian: Unlike most of the people in this closet, I value my life

 

Jyn: oh really

 

Cassian: oh no

 

Jyn: Where was this sense of self-preservation when we were ABOUT TO EXPLODE ON SCARIF

 

Leia: Ahsoka, kindly step aside so I can stab this ghost

 

Ahsoka:

 

Ahsoka: yeah ok sure, how bad can it be?

 

Ahsoka: it’s a ghost

 

Ahsoka: she can’t actually stab him

 

Ahsoka: …right?

Chapter 88: The Ghost of Darth Vader (Probably)

Chapter Text

Rey: So do you think he’s actually a ghost?

 

Din: I’m not sure I like what that’s implying

 

Rey: I’m just saying, it could also be a really messed up vision

 

Ben: Or a force projection

 

Obi-Wan: Or Anakin dressed up in a costume trying to bother us

 

Armitage:

 

Ahsoka:

 

Din:

 

Rey: what does he know

 

Obi-Wan: What did I do???

 

Armitage: he’s too dangerous to be kept alive

 

Obi-Wan: Ahsoka what did I do???

 

Ahsoka: …He’s too dangerous to be kept alive

 

Obi-Wan: AHSOKA

 

Ahsoka: Sorry Obi-Wan you know too much

 

Rey: We uh

 

Rey: We probably should figure out what the ghost actually is though

 

Ahsoka: Oh right

 

Ahsoka: jyn give it your phone

 

Jyn: don’t wanna

 

Ahsoka: you misunderstand

 

Ahsoka: that was not a request young lady.

 

Jyn: I am going to give him my phone now

 

Ahsoka: Yeah, that’s what I thought.

 

Jyn changed their name to Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost

 

Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: WHAT IS HAPPENING

 

Ahsoka: YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE TELLING US

 

Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: Well I refuse to continue speaking until you change my name to something more respectable.

 

Armitage:

 

Armitage: this is an out of body experience

 

Rey: Well for him, yeah

 

Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: Excuse me?

 

Armitage: …i should’ve seen that one coming

 

Rey: oh come on, are we just supposed to ignore the fact that he’s a ghost?

 

Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: It’s rather rude, actually

 

Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: But yeah, thanks for reminding me that I can’t hold a corporeal form. I would have never remembered if it weren’t for you mentioning it very loudly and obviously.

 

Armitage: well

 

Armitage: turning to the dark side sure made him salty

 

Ahsoka: At least we know he’s actually a ghost

 

Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: …

 

Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: Actually no, I expect this from you Ahsoka.

 

Din: You two know each other?

 

Ahsoka: …I’m honestly surprised you know who Darth Vader is

 

Din: He’s Luke’s dad, right?

 

Ahsoka:

 

Ahsoka: yeah sure that’s close enough

 

Ahsoka renamed Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost to Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost

 

Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: ok ahsoka

Chapter 89: Anakin, meet… uh, Evil Anakin

Chapter Text

Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: So which one of you summoned me here?

 

Cassian:

 

Din:

 

Ahsoka: 

 

Ben: why are you all looking at me

 

Rey: Who else would summon Darth Vader??

 

Leia:

 

Leia: you .

 

Ahsoka: maybe we should take that knife from her

 

Leia: WHAT DID YOU DO

 

Ben: I DON’T KNOW

 

Ahsoka: this seems like a good time to meditate

 

Cassian: Why would you—

 

Ahsoka: don’t wanna deal with this

 

Cassian: Ah

 

Armitage: Technically we were playing sabaac the whole time so it would’ve been pretty hard for Ben to summon Darth Vader

 

Ben: Thank you!

 

Ben: I don’t even know how to summon people

 

Ben: Usually they just decide to appear and I have no say in it

 

Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: I don’t even know who that is

 

Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: It definitely wasn’t him

 

Ben: that’s slightly hurtful but thank you

 

Cassian: Well no one from our time would willingly summon him

 

Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: I don’t know who he is either

 

Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: I know Ahsoka and the princess

 

Armitage: Princess?

 

Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost, You know, the one with the knife

 

Armitage: …She’s a princess???

 

Armitage: And I’m just learning this now??

 

Rey: honestly even i knew that

 

Leia: Doesn’t Asajj know how to summon ghosts?

 

Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: Asajj Ventress? Didn’t she die years ago?

 

Ahsoka: Uh

 

Ahsoka: Someone go make sure she doesn’t see that

 

Ahsoka: Thanks Jyn

 

Anakin: If someone’s leaving the closet does that mean there’s enough room for me to join?

 

Ahsoka: ABSOLUTELY NOT

 

Anakin: hmm

 

Anakin: Sorry Ahsoka can’t hear you my phone is glitching, did you say absolutely?

 

Ahsoka: IT’S A TEXT YOU DON’T NEED TO BE ABLE TO HEAR ME TO KNOW WHAT IT SAYS

 

Ahsoka: he’s not responding

 

Ahsoka: why is he not responding

 

Din: I tried to stop him Ahsoka, I really did

 

Ahsoka: oh no

 

Ahsoka: VADER IF YOU SAY A SINGLE THING

 

Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: I might be bribed to stay quiet if someone changes my name back to normal

 

Ahsoka: …

 

Ahsoka: it’s a necessary sacrifice.

 

Ahsoka renamed Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost to Vader

 

Vader: Thank you

 

Anakin: I HAVE ARRIVED oh this guy is not what i was expecting

 

Anakin: You guys said he would be scary!

 

Vader: Excuse me???

 

Vader: I’ve made children cry before

 

Anakin: So has Obi-Wan you’re not special

 

Obi-Wan: WE AGREED NOT TO TALK ABOUT THAT ANAKIN

 

Anakin: SORRY

 

Anakin: Why does your chest light up

 

Anakin: Can I press the buttons

 

Vader: let’s just say that would not end well

 

Rey: of all the skywalker drama i’ve experienced in the past year this is definitely the weirdest

 

Armitage: Are we not going to talk about the force projection Luke Skywalker?

 

Rey: i wasn’t really there that doesn’t count

 

Ben: Rey you literally died because our grandparents wouldn’t settle their drama

 

Rey:

 

Rey: i wasn’t really there that doesn’t count

 

Armitage: unfortunately a valid argument

 

Ben: No???

 

Cassian: So… should we try to stop Anakin and Vader from talking?

 

Ben: I mean

 

Ben: What’s the worst that could happen?

 

Anakin: Hey, what are your opinions on younglings?

 

Vader:

 

Vader: well

 

Ben: Never mind Leia get the knife

Chapter 90: Leia Takes Charge

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Leia: ASAJJ WE NEED YOUR EXORCISM POWERS

 

Leia: also if you could just

 

Leia: not scroll up to the part where vader talks about you dying that would be wonderful

 

Asajj:

 

Asajj: WHAT

 

Cassian: We have a ghost

 

Cassian: The ghost is Darth Vader

 

Cassian: Anakin is talking to the ghost

 

Asajj: ok so what

 

Leia: oh you’re from the past past

 

Leia: i’m going to private message you something that you absolutely cannot tell anyone

 

Asajj: …Sure why not

 

Leia: Sent

 

Asajj:

 

Asajj: well i can honestly say i did not see that one coming

 

Asajj: Am I alive for this?

 

Leia: Don’t think so

 

Asajj: As long as I don’t have to deal with it

 

Asajj: But uh you can’t exorcize a force ghost since it’s not really possessing anything

 

Leia: So we just have to put up with him?

 

Asajj: We could always kick him out

 

Vader: I can hear you, you know

 

Asajj: yeah i don’t really care though

 

Asajj: you can’t hurt me you’re a ghost

 

Ben: that actually isn’t true

 

Armitage: Yeah he could probably roast you if he wanted

 

Armitage: psychological damage

 

Ben: …sure. we’ll go with that.

 

Leia: yeah it makes sense that vader is the one doing the roasting

 

Ahsoka:

 

Ahsoka: did she just 

 

Leia: Oh sorry did I interrupt your meditation

 

Ahsoka: yeah but i kinda want to stick around now

 

Vader: I want you all to know that I found that very offensive

 

Leia: listen, if you can’t take the heat that’s your problem

 

Vader: …

 

Rey: i think i can die happy now

 

Ben: i think it’s a little late for that

 

Armitage: i think you two need to stop referencing your deaths like anakin references memes

 

Leia: I actually have a few burning questions for you, Vader

 

Leia: Did you smoke? You know, back in he day?

 

Vader:

 

Leia: I’d apologize for burning the bridge between us but that was kind of your thing

 

Ahsoka: i’ve never seen her this full of glee

 

Ahsoka: she really is anakin’s child

 

Vader: She’s WHAT

 

Ahsoka: oops

 

Cassian: Should we… stop her?

 

Leia: No I’m on a hot streak

 

Armitage:

 

Armitage: she’s on fire

Notes:

the only thing i regret about this chapter is not finding more terrible puns.

Chapter 91: The Devil’s Advocate (and other things to call your significant other)

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Rey: So do you just live here now?

 

Vader: I hope not

 

Din: Yeah that would be helpful if you didn’t move in, it’s getting a bit crowded in here

 

Din: even if you are a ghost

 

Anakin: Does that mean he technically wouldn’t take up any space?

 

Vader:

 

Armitage: bet you’re wishing force ghosts could use the force right now

 

Vader: don’t test me.

 

Ahsoka: I think Leia’s already done that enough for all of us

 

Ahsoka: But, you know, Anakin’s always managed to exceed expectations

 

Vader: When I said “I hate myself” I never meant it like this

 

Rey: It’s okay

 

Rey: No matter how much you hate yourself, just remember

 

Vader: oh she’s nice i like her

 

Rey: Leia will always hate you more.

 

Vader:

 

Vader: i take that back

 

Leia: At least she’s honest!

 

Rey: Thanks!

 

Rey: I try to only lie to myself!

 

Leia:

 

Leia: yeah ok now i remember why i don’t associate with future kids

 

Ben: What about that time you lied to yourself so hard about your bloodline that you internalized the lie and started lying to everyone else about it too

 

Rey: why do you have a counter example for everything

 

Ben: no?

 

Armitage: No no wait

 

Armitage: She makes a good point

 

Armitage: Why are you always the devil’s advocate?

 

Ben: I mean I wouldn’t say always—

 

Rey: Failed at being the devil, settled for the next best thing

 

Armitage: Yeah that checks out

 

Ben:

 

Ben: you know we’re dating right

 

Rey: yeah

 

Ben: and we’re in love and all

 

Rey: yeah

 

Ben: so don’t you think that maybe being nice to each other would be a part of that

 

Rey:

 

Rey: but you’re so easy to make fun of

 

Vader: Those two? Really?

 

Armitage: None of us understand it but yes

 

Armitage: The Force was involved in a way that not even the Force using people here understand

 

Ben: We don’t even understand it

 

Vader: …

 

Rey: I feel like you’re doing a lot of judging for a ghost

 

Leia: A deadbeat ghost, nonetheless

 

Anakin: Who may or may not be taking up the already cramped space in our compounds, depending on your definition of space

 

Din: So is anyone here actually on Vader’s side or are we all just making fun of him?

 

Armitage: Idk ask the devil’s advocate

 

Ben: leave me alone this is too many attacks coming from too many directions

 

Cassian: You probably should’ve thought of that one before doing the devil’s advocate thing

 

Ben: Really? You too???

 

Cassian: I need a reason to stay in this room and attacking you was the one that required the least effort

 

Ahsoka: Well now that you’ve done that you need a new reason, so could you maybe search up how to get rid of a ghost?

 

Cassian: Sure, why not

Notes:

So…should I do a chapter/section based on that new Star Wars Lego series once this bit is over…?

Chapter 92: What to do when the Chosen One won’t leave your house

Chapter Text

Vader: So you’re just going to send me back to the ghost realm now?

 

Ahsoka: I mean what else are we supposed to do

 

Vader: I’m actually not sure

 

Vader: This is unprecedented

 

Ahsoka: You think???

 

Ahsoka: Half the people here want to stab you, the other half wants to make fun of you

 

Ahsoka: And then there’s Anakin

 

Anakin: Hi

 

Anakin: What did I do now?

 

Anakin: Usually I know what I did whenever I cause chaos but this just seems to be Happening

 

Ahsoka: just trust me when i say you being in this room is causing more chaos than you can imagine

 

Anakin: I don’t know, I can imagine a lot

 

Ahsoka: I am well aware of that!

 

Ahsoka: Both fortunately and unfortunately

 

Cassian: The internet says we need to talk to the ghost

 

Leia: ugh

 

Cassian: We have to acknowledge the ghost, ask it if it knows it’s dead, and then open the windows and cleanse the space to give it room to leave

 

Anakin: Is there a way of getting the ghost to leave that doesn’t involve cleaning my room?

 

Armitage: Hey Vader’s ghost, do you know you’re dead?

 

Vader:

 

Vader: i don’t like those three

 

Rey: it’s okay, nobody else likes us either

 

Armitage: i don’t even like these two

 

Rey:

 

Rey: you what

 

Armitage: I said what I said.

 

Ahsoka: If we open the windows will you leave?

 

Vader: Why should I leave?

 

Ahsoka: Scare people idk

 

Ahsoka: You won’t have to deal with your family from the future any more

 

Vader: …tempting

 

Anakin: But you can still visit if you want!

 

Din: no

 

Anakin: ☹️

 

Din: Just no

 

Ahsoka: Actually

 

Ahsoka: The Jedi Council is on this planet too

 

Obi-Wan: ahsoka what are you doing

 

Ahsoka: You should go make yourself their problem!

 

Obi-Wan: ahsoka

 

Ahsoka: I’m sure Master Windu would be happy to see you

 

Vader:

 

Vader: Let’s just say the two of us didn’t exactly part on good terms

 

Ahsoka: Then you’ll annoy him even more than you usually do

 

Vader: …it could be fun

 

Vader: Apparently part of the whole Force Ghost thing is making amends, so I was gonna have to talk to him eventually

 

Ahsoka: Perfect timing!

 

Ahsoka: Now shoo.

 

Vader: you don’t have to be so mean about it snips…

 

Cassian: Oh so he just

 

Cassian: Passed through a wall

 

Ben: They do that a lot

 

Ben: You get used to it

 

Cassian: I really hope I don’t, actually

 

Obi-Wan: And that just… worked?

 

Ahsoka: I’m sure he’ll be back eventually. But that’s a future Ahsoka problem

Chapter 93: Fun with an Alien Brick

Notes:

Thank you to the wonderful GhostGuest for giving me an excuse to write this Rebuild the Galaxy-inspired storyline!

Chapter Text

Fennec: HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT

 

Anakin: WHAT

 

Din: oh no

 

Din: What?

 

Fennec: Melinda came by and gave us some weird alien tech they found while they were cleaning out their base

 

Fennec: She said they couldn’t find a use for it but we could probably use it to do something stupid and funny

 

Quinlan: The perfect gift

 

Anakin: Don’t be shy Fennec, share the weird alien tech with us

 

Fennec: I’m getting to that

 

Fennec: Aren’t Jedi supposed to be patient?

 

Obi-Wan: that’s what i’ve been saying

 

Quinlan: Oh is that one of the rules we’re actually supposed to follow?

 

Obi-Wan: You

 

Obi-Wan: You’re supposed to follow all of them, Quinlan.

 

Quinlan: ok but does anyone really follow the no falling in love one

 

Obi-Wan: Everyone except you and Anakin

 

Anakin: what about satine

 

Quinlan: Yeah Obi-Wan what about Satine

 

Obi-Wan: Satine was… a lapse in judgment

 

Zorii: It’s ok, we like those!

 

Zorii: pretty sure that’s how i was born actually

 

Poe: that

 

Poe: ok then

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: So who wants to see this glowy blue alien thing!

 

Anakin: ME

 

Asajj: So what does it do?

 

Fennec: I dunno

 

Fennec: It’s just a glowy block

 

Padmé: Are we sure you should be playing with it

 

Fennec: Probably not

 

Poe: Melinda wouldn’t give us alien tech that could be dangerous, right?

 

Fennec:

 

Din:

 

Padmé:

 

Poe: Right. Walter.

 

Luke: Hey! Walter was a good boy!

 

Poe: i wouldn’t call eating feet a good boy

 

Zorii: depends on what you’re into

 

Poe:

 

Poe: You’re the reason future kids have a daily texting limit.

 

Zorii: oh come on it’s not like anyone actually enforces it

 

Cara: Padmé is paying me to enforce it

 

Zorii: im gonna shut up now

 

Din: You’re getting paid???

 

Padmé: she gets to keep the weapons she spawns out of thin air if she enforces it

 

Padmé: I’ll regret it later, but at least it fixes the immediate problem of the future kids

 

Fennec: So what should we do with the glowing blue brick?

 

Maul: Well now that you mention it

 

Maul: There is still a hole in the wall you “fixed” and it’s letting in the cold

 

Maul: You could do something productive and plug it

 

Anakin: Does that mean I can have my recorder back!

 

Maul: As long as it doesn’t let in more cold air

 

Anakin: Not if we plug it with the alien brick

 

Din: Sure, jam the alien brick into the wall

 

Din: What could go wrong

 

Anakin: Exactly!

 

Din: that was sarcasm.

 

Anakin: It’ll be fine

 

Anakin: See?

 

Rey: uh

 

Rey: guys

 

Rey: is this part of my dream or is the floor shaking

 

Din: Anakin…

 

Maul: oh no

 

Padmé: ANAKIN TAKE THE BRICK OUT

 

Anakin: I CAN’T IT’S STUCK

 

Quinlan: Well it’s been nice knowing you guys!

 

Quinlan: Most of you

Chapter 94: Rise and Shine!

Notes:

Filing this chapter away under “symptoms of sleep deprivation”

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Rise and shine everyone!

 

Darth Obi-Wan: it is entirely too early to be rising or shining

 

Din: At least the floor isn’t shaking anymore

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: the what what

 

Din: The floor started shaking??? Literally 2 seconds ago???

 

Din: hold up why are we rising and shining, it’s mid afternoon

 

Anakin: It’s morning, actually.

 

Din: oh finally someone with a normal name

 

Anakin: What?

 

Din: Obi-Wan and Maul changed their names for some reason

 

Anakin: But… that’s how they’ve always been.

 

Din:

 

Din: oh are you guys pulling a prank on me again

 

Anakin: Why would we ever prank you?

 

Poe: Yeah, you’re our friend!

 

Darth Obi-Wan: I don’t have friends.

 

Din:

 

Din: listen i expect this from the future kids but not from you

 

Darth Obi-Wan: wha

 

Poe: Hey, what’s wrong with us???

 

Din: You know what you did.

 

Padmé: Yeah, we like the future kids!

 

Poe: See, even Padmé likes us

 

Poe: Actually that’s probably not the best support but whatever

 

Din: i feel like she’d be the most trustworthy person to vouch for you but ok

 

Zorii: Padmé? Trustworthy?

 

Padmé: Hey, I can be trustworthy!

 

Padmé: It’s been 3 days since I’ve broken anything important

 

Darth Rey: does that include bones?

 

Padmé: This time!

 

Darth Rey:

 

Darth Rey: well at least i know it runs in the family now

 

Ben: Hey!

 

Din: wha

 

Din: what even

 

Din: Why are you not wearing black???

 

Ben: What?

 

Din: And why are you wearing black???

 

Darth Rey: is this not how i always dress

 

Din: No???

 

Din: Unless you’re borrowing clothes from Ben

 

Darth Rey:

 

Darth Rey: Me? Sharing with HIM?

 

Anakin: Din do you need to sit down for a minute?

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Maybe we kept him awake too late last night when we were doing karaoke

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Are you sleep deprived?

 

Din: Yes but that’s an entirely different issue

 

Din: Why are all of you… weird?

 

Din: Why are Obi-Wan and Rey emo and why is Anakin wearing a suit and why is Padmé breaking bones and why are Zorii and Poe getting along

 

Din: and why the FORCE is maul wearing a pink feather boa???

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Just because Mandalorians can’t appreciate fashion doesn’t mean I can’t!

 

Zorii: It’s almost like…we’re dating…

 

Anakin: I have to go to work in like five minutes

 

Anakin: Though maybe I should stay home today, because you clearly aren’t feeling well

 

Padmé: Hey, I didn’t break any bones this time!

 

Darth Obi-Wan: this time.

 

Din:

 

Din: This only gives me even more questions.

Notes:

Some things are consistent with the Rebuild the Galaxy series… and some of them I had some fun with. Requests for any “FlippedVerse” character personalities are always welcome :)

Chapter 95: Din Through the Looking Glass

Chapter Text

Poe: So you’re telling me

 

Poe: I’m supposed to have a boyfriend???

 

Zorii: but

 

Zorii: we’ve been dating since we were like 17

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Yeah Din I think you need some sleep

 

Poe: You know it’s bad when Maul has to tell you that

 

Poe: I’m convinced he hasn’t slept in a week

 

Zorii: But he has all that energy…

 

Din: yeah that’s concerning

 

Din: This is the most energy I’ve ever seen you have

 

Anakin: Din, I really do think something’s wrong.

 

Anakin: Maul’s always like that.

 

Din: well in the normal universe maul would be skulking in the corner and making sarcastic comments, not prancing around in a feather boa

 

Anakin: I don’t know how to break this to you but

 

Anakin: This is the normal universe

 

Ben: Maybe one of the darksiders was messing with him

 

Darth Rey: Why are you looking at me???

 

Ben: I don’t know, why do you think?

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: I mean it could’ve been Obi-Wan

 

Anakin: Nah

 

Anakin: Remember the last time obi-wan tried to mindtrick someone?

 

Darth Obi-Wan: We don’t need to bring that up.

 

Padmé: On the bright side, we all learned a valuable lesson about what happens when a mindtrick backfires!

 

Padmé: plus the explosions were cool

 

Poe: Well we definitely all gained a new understanding of the word “backfire”

 

Poe: And why Padmé isn’t allowed around fire

 

Din: Oh for Force’s sakes

 

Din: Where’s Ahsoka

 

Din: She can sort this all out

 

Anakin: You

 

Anakin: You think Snips can sort things out?

 

Din: oh no

 

Din: Don’t tell me this universe made Ahsoka weird too

 

Anakin: I mean

 

Anakin: I guess you could call her weird?

 

Din: what

 

Din: what does that mean anakin

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: That seems a bit rude

 

Darth Rey: yeah even i draw the line at insulting ahsoka

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵:

 

Anakin:

 

Padmé:

 

Darth Rey: mostly.

 

Din: Anakin

 

Din: What does that mean

 

Din: Why is Ahsoka “I guess” weird

 

Anakin: Well

 

Anakin: You know…

 

Anakin: What else would you expect from a 14 year old?

Chapter 96: Retracing the Steps

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Din: of course

 

Din: of Course ahsoka’s a teenager

 

Din: Of Course the only competent force user here is 14.

 

Padmé: What about Anakin?

 

Din:

 

Din: don’t make me go there.

 

Ahsoka: You called?

 

Din: Yeah but I didn’t want… this to be the answer

 

Ahsoka: oh alright

 

Anakin: For Force’s sakes Din she’s a teenager

 

Anakin: She already has a bad enough self image, don’t make it worse

 

Darth Obi-Wan: yeah din

 

Anakin: Don’t even start Obi-Wan.

 

Ahsoka: Yeah Anakin said I’m not allowed to talk to you after the spinach incident

 

Darth Obi-Wan: 

 

Darth Obi-Wan: you couldn’t at least ban her from talking to me for something i did intentionally?

 

Anakin: I still think it was intentional

 

Darth Obi-Wan: HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IT WOULD CATCH FIRE IN THE MICROWAVE

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: The more important question was why did you want to put microwaved spinach in mac n cheese

 

Darth Obi-Wan: I wouldn’t expect you to understand

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN

 

Darth Obi-Wan: It’s for true dark siders…

 

Darth Obi-Wan: Not dark siders who look like they just entered a fashion contest

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: (He’s just mad because he doesn’t look this fabulous 🤭)

 

Din: this is so messed up

 

Din: Okay, we can fix this. Where’s that glowing blue block?

 

Anakin: What glowing blue block?

 

Din: The one from Melinda that you tried to put in the wall

 

Anakin: We haven’t seen Melinda since she gave us Walter???

 

Din: Ok

 

Din: So that means the glowing blue thing has to be at her base

 

Din: We just need to find that, and then do… whatever it is you did last time

 

Din: Skywalker cursed it or whatever

 

Darth Rey: “Skywalker curse” sounds about right

 

Poe:

 

Poe: Listen, I’m a light sider and everything

 

Poe: But even I can’t argue with that

 

Ben: wow thanks

 

Din: ugh

 

Din: I never thought I’d say this, but…

 

Din: WHO WANTS TO GO ON A FIELD TRIP

Notes:

Apologies for the mostly transitional chapter— hopefully this horribly edited photo of Feather Boa Maul makes it up to you: https://i.postimg.cc/sDJTQT1t/76-A2370-D-2-BCD-4-D96-992-C-33-BA18518-EAC.jpg

Chapter 97: How (not) to teach your Padawan how to drive

Notes:

It wasn’t my intention for them to end up in the same place this Halloween as they did last Halloween but uh… here we are, so happy Halloween to anyone who celebrates!

Chapter Text

Anakin: I think maybe I should come along just to make sure Din is okay

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: I think we’ve passed that point but sure

 

Poe: yeah you don’t have to pretend you’re not coming with us to make sure padmé doesn’t do anything stupid

 

Padmé: I can look after myself!

 

Anakin: padmé i love you but no

 

Din: Please all of you just get in the bus before I lose my mind

 

Zorii: So who’s driving?

 

Darth Obi-Wan: If you’re asking because you want to drive, no

 

Zorii: :(

 

Darth Obi-Wan: The last time we let you drive, Poe yelled “ZORII, DEER”

 

Zorii: And?

 

Darth Obi-Wan: And then you said “Yes, honey?”

 

Zorii:

 

Zorii: in my defense

 

Darth Obi-Wan: No.

 

Ahsoka: I can drive!

 

Anakin: That sounds like a bad idea

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: You did promise to do more master-apprentice bonding now that you have the time

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: You know which one’s the gas and which is the brake, right?

 

Ahsoka: I think so!

 

Anakin: Great start kid

 

Anakin: Floor it.

 

Ahsoka: :D

 

Din: I’m regretting this already

 

Darth Rey: aren’t we all

 

Ben: Stop acting like this is my fault

 

Ben: You chose to sit here

 

Darth Rey: Oh so it’s not your fault that no one wanted to sit next to you to the point where this was the last seat available?

 

Ben: oh alright

 

Din:

 

Din: Yeah no Ahsoka floor it

 

Ahsoka: :D :D :D

 

Anakin: No texting while driving

 

Anakin: And if it sounds like something Padmé would do, don’t do it!

 

Padmé: Hey now

 

Padmé: Just because I’m the only one here without a license doesn’t mean you all can look down on me

 

Darth Obi-Wan: no but we can do it because you’re short

 

Padmé: 😦

 

Ahsoka: You guys have seatbelts on right?

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: This thing has seatbelts?

 

Ahsoka:

 

Ahsoka: You’ll be fine, probably

 

Anakin: That’s the spirit

 

some time later

 

Ahsoka: How do you park?

 

Anakin: oh boy

 

Padmé: This street is empty enough

 

Padmé: Just leave it here, it probably won’t bother anyone

 

Anakin: padmé no

 

Anakin: stop being a bad influence on our child

 

Padmé: It’s fine she’s not even legally ours

 

Anakin: But she’s emotionally ours!

 

Padmé: Well she needs at least one bad influence in her life

 

Anakin: That’s what Obi-Wan’s for

 

Darth Obi-Wan:

 

Darth Obi-Wan: As much as I want to disagree with you just to disagree with you

 

Darth Obi-Wan: It would be an honor to be Ahsoka’s bad influence

 

Darth Obi-Wan: The dark side is always recruiting Ahsoka!

 

Ahsoka: No

 

Ahsoka: Anakin says you’re weird and creepy and you keep pet spiders in your room :(

 

Darth Obi-Wan: that’s

 

Darth Obi-Wan: ok anakin

 

Anakin: Was I wrong?

 

Darth Obi-Wan: Mostly

 

Poe: I KNEW IT

 

Poe: I KNEW YOU WERE KEEPING SPIDERS

 

Darth Obi-Wan: I SAID MOSTLY

 

Zorii: ok but who else would be the cause of all those spiders in the vents

 

Darth Obi-Wan:

 

Darth Obi-Wan: Padmé?

 

Padmé: I don’t like spiders

 

Ben: guys people are staring out the window at us

 

Ben: we should probably get out of the bus

Chapter 98: Din’s Guide to Scientifically Investigating Alien Technology

Chapter Text

Ahsoka: I CALL RINGING THE DOORBELL

 

Poe: OKAY

 

Darth Obi-Wan:

 

Darth Obi-Wan: what if i…

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: I’m not losing Ahsoka privileges bc you gave all the dark siders a bad rep

 

Anakin: It’s ok Maul I trust you with my adoptive child

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Thank you 😇

 

Darth Obi-Wan: Oh, but *I’m* the one giving dark siders a bad rep

 

Din added Melinda

 

Din: Listen

 

Din: There’s been a terrible mistake

 

Melinda:

 

Din: Please tell me you’re normal

 

Melinda: I’d like to think so

 

Din: Close enough

 

Din: There’s a glowing blue brick somewhere in your base and you gave it to Anakin and he touched it and everything turned weird

 

Din: And I need the brick thing to go back to normal

 

Melinda:

 

Melinda: Let me get Daisy

 

Melinda: I need a drink before dealing with this

 

Din: I don’t blame you

 

Melinda invited Daisy

 

Daisy: Hey!

 

Melinda: That glowing blue thing

 

Melinda: Din thinks it messed with the fabric of time and space

 

Daisy: Oh ok I’ll go grab it

 

Din: NO

 

Din: let’s maybe

 

Din: not touch it

 

Din: Anakin touching it is what caused all this

 

Melinda: Well Skywalkers always mess things up

 

Melinda: Daisy is the least problematic person in her family

 

Daisy: Aww that sounded dangerously close to a compliment

 

Melinda: sure

 

Daisy: Ok, I got the thing

 

Daisy: What do we do now?

 

Din: Yeah uh

 

Din: I have no idea

 

Din: This is weird Jedi magic

 

Poe: Listen I still think Din is experiencing weird hallucinations but

 

Poe: If he says Anakin touching it caused all this why don’t we just make him touch it again?

 

Zorii:

 

Padmé:

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵:

 

Darth Obi-Wan: That’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard

 

Darth Rey: You should do it anyway

 

Daisy: Exactly!

 

Daisy: I’m with her

 

Darth Rey: Thanks

 

Darth Rey:

 

Darth Rey: cool name

 

Daisy: Thanks!

 

Daisy: Anyways whichever one of you is Anakin needs to touch this thing

 

Anakin: Uh

 

Anakin: …if it makes Din less stressed, then fine

 

Anakin:

 

Din:

 

Anakin: So is this what happened last time?

 

Din: Well the floor isn’t shaking so

 

Din: Not really, no

 

Darth Obi-Wan: Told you it was a dumb idea

 

Poe: Well I don’t see you having any better ones

 

Darth Obi-Wan: Well

 

Darth Obi-Wan: uh

 

Darth Obi-Wan: When Anakin was supposedly touching this thing last time, was he doing anything else with it?

 

Din: Well he was trying to shove it into the wall you guys broke

 

Darth Obi-Wan:

 

Darth Obi-Wan: So maybe it’s pressure activated and not Anakin activated?

 

Zorii: Anakin

 

Zorii: Throw the brick

 

Melinda: I should probably remind you that this is a government compound filled with expensive and delicate equipment

 

Melinda: But anyways, throw the brick

Chapter 99: also known as the number of problems din currently has

Chapter Text

Melinda: Alright

 

Melinda: We’ve tried throwing it, stomping on it, driving over it, throwing it against the wall several times, subjecting it to extreme high and low temperatures, blowing it up, using the Force on it, and the kid tried to eat it

 

Ahsoka: Hey!

 

Ahsoka: I’m 14!

 

Melinda: That does not help your case

 

Melinda: …So what do we do now?

 

Padmé: idk but i think it would be funny if ahsoka tried to bite it again

 

Anakin: You’re sure it was me touching it that made everything start shaking?

 

Anakin: I mean you know how Rose is with explosives

 

Din:

 

Din: I don’t actually, but it was definitely you touching it

 

Din: And Maul said something about fixing the hole in the wall that was letting in cold air

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Well that does sound like something I would do

 

Din: And then you tried to jam it into the wall and everything started shaking and I ended up here

 

Melinda: Into…the wall…?

 

Anakin: Yeah it’s that wall that Padmé broke when she was trying to bake cookies at a million degrees

 

Din: i don’t remember that being padmé—

 

Padmé: Nobody warned me that the oven would explode!

 

Poe: I’m 99% sure we did but we’ll take a rain check on that one

 

Padmé: Well you didn’t warn me loud enough

 

Darth Obi-Wan: No, I imagine our warnings weren’t loud enough to be heard over the screams of fear coming from everyone else

 

Ben: actually i think ahsoka was just screaming to scream

 

Ahsoka: That’s because I was

 

Daisy: Born to be a cicada, forced to be a teenager 😔

 

Daisy: I know how you feel

 

Ben:

 

Ben: what

 

Melinda: Wait

 

Melinda: What all did you guys use to fix this wall?

 

Din: uh

 

Din: weapons, mostly

 

Din: some random clothing items people left unattended

 

Din: i think there was a chicken nugget

 

Din: some angsty poetry that gets worse every time i read it

 

Din: oh and some of morai’s feathers

 

Melinda: Morai?

 

Anakin: Ahsoka’s Force bird

 

Anakin: Well not Ahsoka’s but it just started following her around one day and we haven’t really been able to get rid of it since

 

Anakin: We think she’s a personification of the Force

 

Ahsoka: I don’t think the Force would let me feed it cheese crackers

 

Zorii: Is THAT where all the cheese went???

 

Ahsoka:

 

Ahsoka: maybe.

 

Melinda: I’m having a thought

 

Daisy: oh good one of us here needed to

 

Melinda: Mystical Force bird

 

Anakin: Yes

 

Melinda: Mystical glowing brick

 

Din: I would say annoying over mystical, but yes

 

Melinda: Is it possible that they came into contact?

 

Din:

 

Din: Are you thinking what I’m thinking

 

Melinda: I’m thinking two Force-charged items came into contact and caused everything to be flipped

 

Din: ok so that’s not what i was thinking but close enough

 

Anakin: So… we need to go back to the base and make them come into contact again?

 

Melinda: eh

 

Melinda: Your guess is good as mine 🤷🏻‍♀️

Chapter 100: Adventures in Force Science

Notes:

We’ve made it to 100 chapters! And with *hides the repaired wall* minimal property damage or injury!

May everyone reading this have better luck than Din and as much amusement as Melinda

Chapter Text

Anakin: I think you’re getting better at this!

 

Poe: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

 

Darth Rey: don’t be mean to the child, poe

 

Poe: I’M ALLOWED TO BE MEAN TO THE CHILD IF SHE’S GOING TO GET US KILLED

 

Anakin: She’s doing great

 

Anakin: She just needs positive reinforcement instead of everyone screaming that we’re going to die

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Don’t you dare kill us Ahsoka

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: The library just hired me to read books to the kids

 

Padmé: Didn’t they also say they liked your costume?

 

Padmé: When you were just wearing your normal clothes?

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: we don’t talk about that

 

Padmé: Ahsoka sweetie make sure to use the right turn signal if you’re going to turn, ok?

 

Poe: this

 

Poe: this isn’t even the road anymore

 

Poe: she’s driving us ACROSS THE ROAD

 

Poe: IS NOBODY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: Nah

 

Melinda: This is even more entertaining than when I tried teaching Daisy how to pilot

 

Daisy: I’ll have you know that I’m a great pilot

 

Anakin: Ease up on the brakes Snips

 

Darth Obi-Wan: Yeah, you can always just stop the bus with the Force

 

Anakin: obi-wan no

 

Darth Obi-Wan: Just because the Jedi Code says you shouldn’t casually use the Force doesn’t mean you can’t do it

 

Darth Obi-Wan: It’s a lifesaving maneuver which means Jedi are allowed to do it

 

Ahsoka: Thanks Obi-Wan!

 

Anakin: why would you teach her that

 

Zorii: Oh good I can see the compounds

 

Zorii: We’re almost free

 

Anakin: Alright, everybody out!

 

Anakin: Let’s help Din stop stressing

 

Din: thank you

 

Din: actually your normal self is only going to stress me out even more

 

Din: but it’s the thought that counts

 

Anakin: Whatever you say!

 

Anakin: guys im getting really worried about din

 

Zorii: i think he snapped

 

Din: I can still read your messages even if you make them lowercase…

 

Melinda: Alright, where’s the feather wall?

 

Ben: Turn left at the pile of shoes

 

Melinda: why is there a

 

Melinda: Never mind I don’t want to know

 

Darth Rey: well there’s a lot of us and only a small amount of room for shoes so… shoe pile

 

Daisy: What about the people whose shoes are on the bottom?

 

Darth Rey: What about them.

 

Daisy: Understood

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: What I don’t understand is how mine always end up on the bottom even though I go out more than half of you

 

Melinda: Oh this is… definitely a wall

 

Padmé: Yep!

 

Daisy: Huh, it looks worse in person

 

Padmé: We made it ourselves

 

Darth Obi-Wan: Found the feathers

 

Melinda: Anakin, you’ve got the blue thing?

 

Anakin: Yeah

 

Melinda: Ready?

 

Anakin: Ready

 

Melinda: 3… 2… 1…

 

Melinda: Now!

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: i don’t think it did anyth

 

Darth Rey: WHY IS THE FLOOR SHAKING

 

Ben: oh this is like my nightmares all over again alright

 

Darth Rey: those are my nightmares idiot

 

Darth Rey: you’re just the one who keeps forgetting to close the kriffing force bond when you sleep

 

Din: Ok this is good

 

Anakin: Last time those two had a full on fight we almost lost our electricity for a week

 

Din: Oh not that

 

Din: The floor started shaking last time too

 

𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Have you considered the possibility that the “last time” was actually an earthquake and you got hit with the debris and forgot all your normal memories?

 

Din: Can’t say I have

 

Melinda: Well, it seems to be getting stronger

 

Melinda: See you on the other side

 

Melinda: Whatever side that may be

Chapter 101: The Rise of Din’s Blood Pressure

Notes:

aaaand we’re back in the normal universe! well. as normal as these guys get.

never thought i’d have to say this, but accidental light chemistry bashing? anyways, you’ve been warned and all.

Chapter Text

about 24 hours earlier

 

Fennec: So what should we do with the glowing blue brick?

 

Maul: Well now that you mention it

 

Maul: There is still a hole in the wall you “fixed” and it’s letting in the cold

 

Din: hold up

 

Maul: You could do something productive and plug it

 

Anakin: Does that mean I can have my recorder back!

 

Din: i remember this conversation

 

Maul: As long as it doesn’t let in more cold air

 

Anakin: Not if we plug it with the alien brick

 

Din: WAIT

 

Din: EVERYBODY FREEZE

 

Cara: What is this, a cop show?

 

Din: ANAKIN

 

Din: PUT THE ALIEN BRICK DOWN

 

Anakin: ok ok calm down din

 

Din: NO

 

Din: DO  N O T  PUT THAT THING IN THE WALL

 

Asajj:

 

Asajj: din are you ok

 

Din: NO

 

Din: I JUST HAD THE WORST 24 HOURS OF MY LIFE

 

Din: which is saying something

 

Din: ALL BECAUSE OF THAT BRICK

 

Din: WE ARE NOT PLAYING WITH THE BRICK

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: even i don’t wanna mess with him

 

Fennec: We’ve reached new lows

 

Asajj: And so has Din, apparently

 

Din: Put. The alien brick. Down.

 

Fennec: oh no Parent Voice

 

Anakin: yes sir

 

Din: SLOWLY

 

Din: DON’T LET IT TOUCH ANYTHING

 

Anakin: WHAT ABOUT THE FLOOR

 

Din:

 

Din: yeah that should be fine

 

Cara: do

 

Cara: do you think din actually thinks we’re in a cop show?

 

Fennec: I wouldn’t put it past him

 

Fennec: Maybe he’s finally lost it

 

Anakin: Well how do we find it?

 

Anakin: Because I’m not sure if I like paranoid cop show Din

 

Din: Guys I know we aren’t in a cop show

 

Din: Just trust me when I tell you something very, very bad will happen if you shove that brick into that wall

 

Anakin: hmmmm

 

Anakin: How bad?

 

Din: You become a responsible, well-adjusted adult

 

Anakin: oh so BAD bad

 

Din: And Poe and Zorii become…

 

Anakin: Chemists? Our new bus drivers? Also well-adjusted?

 

Poe: I’d like to think I’m already well adjusted but ok

 

Din: Worse than all of those.

 

Din: Straight.

 

Poe:

 

Poe: Anakin don’t you dare touch that brick.

 

Fennec: Think Melinda will give us a refund?

 

Maul: You paid her in the first place?

 

Fennec: Oh good point

 

Fennec: So should I call Melinda to come pick this thing up?

 

Maul: Guess so

 

Maul: Quick, before Officer Din has a breakdown

 

Din:

 

Din: i can’t even say it’s good to be home, can i?

Chapter 102: Din’s Day Off (Pt. 1)

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Jyn has started a chatroom

 

Jyn invited People I Barely Tolerate

 

Jyn invited Cassian

 

Jyn invited Padmé

 

Padmé: I’m honored

 

Maul: I’m not

 

Jyn: Listen up

 

Anakin: Oh she means business

 

Anakin: I don’t think I can help with that

 

Jyn: I’m having a rare compassionate moment and I’m starting to realize Din has been under a lot of stress recently

 

Fennec: When is he not?

 

Fennec: I don’t think the man’s had a full night of sleep since he was seven

 

Fennec: And he doesn’t even have the excuse of weird Jedi visions

 

Jyn: Exactly

 

Jyn: Which is why I think we need to give him a day off

 

Cassian:

 

Cassian: I knew there was a nice part of you in there somewhere

 

Jyn: Don’t test me

 

Quinlan: Yeah or you’ll have to join the rest of us commoners on the People I Barely Tolerate list

 

Cassian: You wouldn’t go that far

 

Cassian: would you

 

Jyn: I don’t know, would I?

 

Cassian: 😦

 

Jyn: Back to the plan

 

Jyn: We’re all going to have to make sacrifices

 

Asajj: It’s not going to be animals this time, right?

 

Asajj: i hate animal sacrifices.

 

Jyn: wh

 

Jyn: No???

 

Jyn: We just need to all agree not to cause chaos for maybe

 

Jyn: 24 hours???

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: i think i’ll take the animal sacrifices, thanks

 

Maul: It’s for Din

 

Maul: besides i think he’s on the verge of a mental breakdown

 

Maul: you saw how he was about that weird brick

 

Anakin: …True

 

Cara: I hate to say it, but Jyn’s right

 

Jyn: Thank you!

 

Jyn: wait

 

Cara: We can go a day without chaos

 

Cara: How hard can it be?

 

Padmé: I’m so proud of all of you for showing maturity

 

Padmé: But I’m still afraid to find out the answer to that question

 

Fennec: Everyone’s in agreement then?

 

Poe: On behalf of all the future kids, yes

 

Anakin: I’m in, but only because it’s Din.

 

Maul: The darksiders are in

 

Hunter: The Bad Batch will do it

 

Hunter: Not that we were a problem to begin with

 

Quinlan: Ig I’ll agree for all the Jedi?

 

Cara: Might as well agree for all the rebels

 

Fennec: Great

 

Fennec: Let’s go tell Din

Notes:

Wishing everyone reading this a wonderful new year and enjoyable celebrations to all who are waiting until midnight to ring it in! See you all in 2025!

Chapter 103: Din’s Day Off (Pt. 2)

Notes:

Aaaaand it’s 2025! Here’s to a nice, nonchaotic start to the new year.

 

for now.

Chapter Text

Din: You guys are going to What

 

Cara: It’s for your mental health!

 

Cara: Padmé says that’s important

 

Anakin: You clearly need it

 

Din: You’re really going to not cause any chaos for a whole day?

 

Jyn: We’ll even let you sleep through the night!

 

Zorii: isn’t din rooming next to anakin and padmé

 

Jyn: Oh right

 

Jyn: Never mind!

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: oh alright then

 

Fennec: Anyways

 

Fennec: You can have a full day of lying on the couch and questioning your life!

 

Fennec: And we won’t bother you at all!

 

Din: You’re sure about this??

 

Padmé: Everyone’s taken a no chaos vow

 

Padmé: Besides, I can handle these guys on my own for one day

 

Din: i really don’t think you want to test that

 

Padmé: i really don’t

 

Padmé: But I don’t have to! Because everyone is going to follow the no chaos vow.

 

Padmé: That is a threat.

 

Poe: yes ma’am 🫡

 

Din: So I can just

 

Din: Go???

 

Din: And lie on the couch???

 

Din: And sleep peacefully???

 

Cara: Yep!

 

Cara: Have fun buckethead

 

Din: this feels like a fever dream

 

Din: but then again so did the other universe

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: Maybe he really does need to sleep for a full day

 

Fennec: Ok now go

 

Fennec: I don’t think I can make it longer than 24 hours and you’re wasting time

 

Din: …love you too fennec

 

Jyn: Okay, Din’s gone

 

Jyn: Now what do normal people do to pass time?

 

Asajj: Board games?

 

Maul: Too violent

 

Evaan: Baking?

 

Asajj: Are you forgetting the Great Cookie Fire of Several Weeks Ago?

 

Evaan: oh right

 

Hunter: We could clean the compounds?

 

Cassian: I don’t trust anyone with a vacuum

 

Cassian:

 

Cassian: and after walter, i don’t trust vacuums either

 

Anakin: ugh

 

Anakin: This is gonna get boring really fast, isn’t it?

Chapter 104: How to Not Cause Chaos

Chapter Text

Padmé: Alright, I’ve got an idea

 

Evaan: Does it involve mac n cheese?

 

Cara: Or explosives?

 

Ezra: Or karaoke?

 

Padmé: None of those, actually

 

Padmé: It does involve that huge pile of cardboard boxes Ahsoka brought home from work though

 

Cara: sounds boring

 

Padmé: That sounds very small-minded of you, Cara

 

Cara:

 

Cara: You know usually people just guilt trip me with my crimes or something

 

Cara: You really didn’t have to choose something so effective

 

Padmé: Politics 🤗

 

Padmé: Anyways, I have a challenge for all of you

 

Padmé: Whoever can built the best cardboard fort WITHOUT CAUSING ANY CHAOS gets…

 

Padmé: Hmmm

 

Padmé: Gets first choice next group movie night

 

Ezra:

 

Zorii:

 

Maul:

 

Anakin:

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: oh, you’re so on

 

Poe: FUTURE KIDS UNITE

 

Armitage: have we just accepted being called the children of the group now

 

Fennec: I WANT CARA ON MY TEAM

 

Maul: KEEEENOBIIIIII

 

Obi-Wan: what

 

Maul: you’re on my team

 

Maul: you’re the only one here who understands the importance of the lego batman movie

 

Anakin: Quinlan. Asajj. You, me, and Legally Blonde when we win.

 

Quinlan: aw hell yeah

 

Padmé: REMEMBER

 

Padmé: NO CHAOS OR YOU’LL BE ELIMINATED

 

Cara: like with a gun, or

 

Padmé: *NO CHAOS OR YOU’LL BE DISQUALIFIED

 

Cara: ah

 

Cara: I’d hoped it would be the gun option

 

Din: I hear screaming

 

Din: Should I be worried?

 

Padmé: I have everything under control

 

Padmé: Go back to your day off 

 

Din: Oh alright thanks Padmé

 

Padmé: Yep

 

Padmé: ALRIGHT EVERYONE TO THE BASEMENT

 

Padmé: And if someone could help me carry these cardboard boxes that would be great

 

Rey: I’ve got it!

 

Quinlan: Hey, no sucking up to the judge. before the competition starts!

 

Padmé: It’s not sucking up if she’s one of the few people here who actually listens to me on a regular basis

 

Asajj: Hey, am I on that list?

 

Padmé: What do you think.

 

Asajj: yeah no i thought not

 

Padmé: Quinlan and Ezra usually are though

 

Ezra: 😏

 

Leia: ezra no that emoji doesn’t mean what you think it means

 

Leia: Also are there any teams who still need people?

 

Fennec: We’re just gonna be a duo

 

Maul: ONLY lego batman truthers are allowed on our team

 

Leia: Hmm

 

Leia: Are we that desperate yet?

 

Han: no.

 

Luke: No thanks

 

Hunter: We’d let you in, but there’s already 5 of us and 8 might be a tight fit

 

Poe: You can join Finn and Rey and I, but only if you agree to let us pick Shark Tale

 

Ben: are you serious

 

Ben: you ditched me over shark tale

 

Rey: they needed another person

 

Armitage: Well so do we!

 

Armitage: You seriously gave up The Lion King for Shark Tale?

 

Rey: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Finn: Stop trying to poach our teammate, Padmé never said no weapons

 

Padmé: I did say no chaos though!

 

Finn: ah. then i will very calmly and respectfully threaten you with a lightsaber.

 

Leia: You two need more people right?

 

Leia: Can Luke and Han and I join your team?

 

Ben: 

 

Armitage: ABSOLUTELY

 

Ben: do you hate me

 

Armitage: yes actually

 

Armitage: but i happen to like the lion king more than i hate you, so here we are

 

Padmé: Alright, raise your hand if your team is ready

 

Padmé: great

 

Padmé: Let the Cardboard Fort Challenge BEGIN!

Chapter 105: The Cardboard Box Fort Challenge

Chapter Text

Obi-Wan: wh

 

Obi-Wan: why do you have a couch?

 

Maul: It’s important

 

Obi-Wan: It’s also not made of cardboard

 

Maul: Well Padmé didn’t say the inside of our base had to be made with cardboard

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: New rule!

 

Maul: ☹️

 

Padmé: Forts can be made with cardboard and duct tape ONLY

 

Maul: Well then what am I supposed to do with this couch?

 

Fennec: That’s not exactly Padmé’s problem, is it?

 

Maul:

 

Maul: Keep building, Kenobi

 

Maul: I must deposit this couch… elsewhere

 

Din: WHAT WAS THAT CRASH

 

Maul: um

 

Padmé: NOTHING

 

Jyn: YEAH GO BACK TO SLEEP DIN

 

Din: ARE YOU SURE

 

Jyn: TOTALLY

 

Jyn: ok seriously what was that crash

 

Maul: Well it was definitely not me dropping the couch down a flight of stairs

 

Padmé:

 

Maul: ACCIDENTALLY

 

Padmé: Accidentally doesn’t unshatter our couch???

 

Maul: oh no she’s disappointed in me

 

Obi-Wan: It’s never fun

 

Maul: Like you would know

 

Poe: so

 

Poe: we should probably stop watching this and work on our fort

 

Finn: it’s entertaining though

 

Poe: come on finn

 

Poe: think about shark tale

 

Poe: Besides I don’t think Rey understands how structural integrity works

 

Rey: I made a house out of an AT-AT, I think I’m capable of understanding how to make a house out of a few cardboard boxes

 

Finn: rey sweetie

 

Finn: gravity doesn’t work like that

 

Rey: Yes it does!

 

Rey:

 

Rey: ah. no it does not.

 

Fennec: No fair, you can’t use Nightsister magic to build your fort!

 

Padmé: I mean I didn’t really ban use of the Force…

 

Fennec: She’s using magic to reanimate the cardboard and make the fort build itself for her.

 

Padmé: Oh she’s WHAT

 

Asajj: A gal’s gotta do what a gal’s’ gotta do

 

Cara: Zombie cardboard boxes, I like it

 

Padmé: I’d like to question the ethics of reanimating cardboard and whether it can feel pain because it’s basically just smashed tree

 

Padmé: But also I know how much help those three are going to need so I’ll allow it

 

Quinlan: YES

 

Quinlan: ZOMBIE CARDBOARD FOR THE WIN

 

Padmé: oh, i’m going to regret this

 

Fennec: Listen

 

Fennec: What if we put a sniper post on this thing

 

Cara: Fennec we don’t even have walls yet

 

Fennec: I’m planning ahead

 

Fennec: And we may need to defend ourselves from the other teams

 

Cara: Well then absolutely

 

Padmé: You guys realize this is just for fun, right?

 

Padmé: You’re not building cardboard forts to go to war in

 

Quinlan: True

 

Quinlan: But you never said we couldn’t go to war after the competition is over!

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: New rule!

 

Obi-Wan: Let’s make ours shaped like a duck

 

Maul: Why?

 

Obi-Wan: Why not?

 

Maul:

 

Maul: yeah ok let’s make a cardboard duck

 

Maul: But it must be black. Like Lego Batman.

 

Hunter: Oh no, they’re going to steal all the black paint

 

Hunter: WRECKER GO COLLECT ALL THE SPRAY PAINT

 

Poe: Hey should we be using that inside?

 

Hunter: No, but I refuse to lose to General Kenobi

 

Quinlan: What are you even building?

 

Tech: The Marauder!

 

Tech: Only much smaller, and with less firepower

 

Poe: ok i can respect that

 

Poe: Guys we need a plan

 

Finn: I think our plan is currently Four Walls That Stay Standing

 

Finn: And even that seems like a long shot

 

Cara: Do you think Padmé will let us build a balistraria

 

Padmé: A what

 

Cara: Those little holes in the side of a tower that you shoot arrows at your enemies through

 

Padmé: Does that sound like something I would approve of?

 

Cara: Well…

 

Padmé: No. The answer is no.

Chapter 106: Fort Building Chaos

Notes:

Oh hey, it’s IFD! Happy fanworks day y’all!

Chapter Text

Armitage: Listen if even Maul and Kenobi are managing to work together

 

Armitage: Could you four maybe consider being…

 

Armitage: oh i hate that i’m going to use this word

 

Armitage: A little more civil?

 

Ben: I’m being perfectly civil!

 

Armitage: you’re being less civil with them than you are with me

 

Armitage: i didn’t even know you could do that

 

Ben: well i don’t see you trying to foster a team environment

 

Armitage:

 

Armitage: …

 

Armitage: fine.

 

Armitage: but i’m only doing this for the lion king.

 

Maul: Listen

 

Maul: You couldn’t spare even ONE bottle of spray paint?

 

Obi-Wan: where did they even find that much spray paint

 

Hunter: Classified, and no

 

Maul: Please

 

Maul: Think of Batman Duck

 

Hunter: No

 

Maul: kenobi what else are we supposed to use to paint our duck black

 

Obi-Wan: We haven’t even finished him yet, that seems like a later problem

 

Maul: But what’s the point of Batman Duck if we can’t paint him Batman colors?

 

Obi-Wan: …Valid point

 

Jyn: not to help you guys but

 

Jyn: hair dye can also paint things

 

Maul: thank you jyn erso

 

Obi-Wan: Whose team is she even on?

 

Jyn: Oh no, I’m just here because Padmé says I’m not allowed out of her sight during Din’s day off

 

Jyn: But of course CASSIAN is trustworthy enough to be allowed upstairs unsupervised 😒

 

Obi-Wan: well. have you considered that he’s earned that trust.

 

Jyn:

 

Jyn: I’m about to dump every bottle of hair dye in this place down the drain.

 

Obi-Wan: Never mind! It’s a horrible injustice that Cassian can go upstairs but you can’t!

 

Jyn: That’s better

 

Poe: The second we figure how to build up instead of just out, it’s over for all of you

 

Finn: do we even have a plan

 

Poe: Idk but it’s gonna be good

 

Hunter: Tech, do you think you can work on building working bunks?

 

Tech: Absolutely. How is the control panel coming along?

 

Echo: We’re getting there

 

Echo: Wrecker is insisting on making all the buttons and switches himself

 

Wrecker: It’s gonna look great!

 

Echo: Yeah if we have the time to pull it off

 

Leia: I don’t think you need to worry

 

Leia: You’re the only group that’s actually started building instead of just yelling and stacking boxes

 

Anakin: Hey, we’ve started building ours!

 

Leia: Yours is

 

Leia: Too unsettling to count as a fort

 

Leia: Forts are supposed to be fun

 

Anakin: I think it’s fun ☹️

 

Jyn: is it just me or is it moving

 

Asajj: Don’t worry, that’s just the cardboard breathing

 

Jyn:

 

Jyn: the What

 

Ben: Luke where did you put the duct tape

 

Luke: uh

 

Luke: I’m working on it!

 

Ben: You’re what

 

Ben:

 

Ben: are you

 

Armitage: What now?

 

Ben: he’s duct taped to a box.

 

Armitage: How?

 

Han: Wasn’t me!

 

Luke: I tripped ☹️

 

Ben:

 

Leia: Oh that’s. That’s a lot of duct tape.

 

Leia: How did you even manage to…

 

Armitage: well at least you four are talking now.

 

Maul: So… what are ducks shaped like again?

 

Obi-Wan: just wing it, nobody else will know either

 

Maul: Was that… a duck pun?

 

Maul:

 

Maul: He can do that?

Chapter 107: who thought this was a good idea, anyway?

Chapter Text

Padmé: So how much more time are we thinking we’re going to need?

 

Hunter: Maybe 20 minutes?

 

Poe: rey no what did we say about gravity

 

Rey: that it’s boring, apparently 😒

 

Maul: OUR DUCK

 

Maul: IT’S GLORIOUS

 

Jyn: Its face is melting off

 

Obi-Wan: WELL HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW PUTTING LIQUID ON CARDBOARD WOULD MAKE IT FLOPPY

 

Maul: like i said

 

Maul: GLORIOUS

 

Arm: So have we just given up on getting Luke unstuck from the boxes?

 

Leia: He’s our structural support now

 

Arm:

 

Arm: ah.

 

Luke: This is fun!

 

Quinlan: Asajj I can hear our fort breathing

 

Quinlan: Should it be breathing that loudly?

 

Asajj: As long as it isn’t screaming it’s fine

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: Great, 20 more minutes it is!

 

Fennec: Wait wait wait make it 30

 

Fennec: I need to attach this cannon to the side wall

 

Padmé: You need to what

 

Fennec: It’s made entirely of cardboard, I promise!

 

Padmé: Fennec that’s not the problem here

 

Finn: poe what are we going to do

 

Poe:

 

Poe: Yeah there’s no saving this

 

Poe: Rey go sit in that box

 

Poe: That’s our base now

 

Rey: Ok

 

Poe: Finn, get some blankets

 

Finn: On it

 

Poe: We definitely can’t salvage this, but at least we can fill it with fluffy things

 

Ben: so just

 

Ben: stand there i guess??

 

Ben: and leia will

 

Ben: uh

 

Leia: I’m going to tape these other boxes to the boxes you’re already taped to

 

Ben: sure

 

Ben: and then han is just going to pile more boxes on top

 

Luke: Sounds like a great plan!

 

Han:

 

Han: Well he’s got spirit, but absolutely no self-preservation

 

Obi-Wan: You know, the melting face kind of builds character

 

Maul: Very NONE SHALL PASS

 

Jyn: that’s

 

Jyn: that’s a massive cube with wings

 

Maul: You have to use your IMAGINATION, Jyn

 

Maul: You wouldn’t understand 😒

 

Cassian: It’s… extremely concerning to see those two getting along

 

Padmé: We’ll deal with that fallout later

 

Padmé: How do I stop Cara from attaching a trebuchet to her fort

 

Cassian: That’s a trick question, right?

 

Jyn: You don’t.

 

Jyn: HEY CARA CAN YOU LAUNCH ME OUT OF YOUR TREBUCHET

 

Cara: AFTER WE WIN THIS SURE

 

Din: Hey guys

 

Din: I’m getting that sense you get when Cara is about to destroy something

 

Din: Are you guys sure you’re alright down there?

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: Everything is Fine.

 

Jyn: You should go back to sleep

 

Jyn: If you hear anything crashing it’s probably just someone dropping something in the kitchen, and definitely not Cara launching me in a trebuchet 🥰

 

Din: Oh alright

 

Din: Bye guys

 

Padmé: alright that seems like a good place to end things

 

Padmé: TIME’S UP

 

Cara: but…my trebuchet…

Chapter 108: Judging

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Cassian: So

 

Cassian: Are we supposed to judge these now?

 

Jyn: I’ve been judging them the whole time

 

Poe: thanks, jyn.

 

Padmé: So um

 

Padmé: I guess you all can introduce them? And then we’ll judge?

 

Asajj: Who’s we?

 

Padmé: hmm

 

Padmé: Me, Jyn, Cassian, and Ezra

 

Padmé: That seems…mostly fair?

 

Ezra: So who’s up first?

 

Jyn: let’s go most tragic to least tragic

 

Cassian:

 

Cassian: so we can all agree which one’s first right

 

Finn: Oh you’re just

 

Finn: You’re just heading right over here.

 

Rey: Hi guys!

 

Padmé: In our defense you don’t even have a structure

 

Padmé: It’s just a circle of cardboard boxes filled with pillows

 

Rey: But can you honestly say you’d rather choose a fort with nothing comfortable to sit in?

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: listen i don’t wanna say it but she’s got a point

 

Rey: :)

 

Poe: i knew there was a reason we chose you for our team

 

Padmé: You guys do know this is like

 

Padmé: The bare minimum of fort

 

Rey: It’s tragically beautiful!

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: what does that even mean

 

Jyn: Like Cassian

 

Cassian: 

 

Ezra: ohh

 

Cassian: why am i…tragically beautiful…

 

Jyn: Well you’re depressing but nice to look at

 

Cassian: So… like you?

 

Quinlan: Nah, that’s beautifully tragic

 

Jyn:

 

Jyn: Well now I know who’s ranking last on my list.

 

Poe: Oh thank the force

 

Poe: We’re not in dead last guys!

 

Finn: i’ll believe it when i see it

 

Ezra: So who wants to get Quin and Asajj and Anakin’s over with before it gains sentience and starts taking revenge on us?

 

Padmé: Yeah that

 

Padmé: That seems like a good idea

 

Asajj: For the last time, there’s only a 60% chance that it will do that!

 

Cassian:

 

Cassian: Only???

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: nobody wake din up.

 

Padmé: he doesn’t need to know about this.  

Notes:

…so can you tell i watched the new wicked movie recently? props if you caught the reference lmao

Chapter 109: which is deteriorating faster: these forts’ structural integrity or padmé’s sanity?

Chapter Text

Ezra: I think we should do… that one …next

 

Ben: well you don’t have to say it like that 😒

 

Ezra: Oh I do. I absolutely do.

 

Leia: Hold still Luke

 

Leia: You’re the only thing keeping this standing

 

Luke: My arms arr getting tired ☹️

 

Luke: Snd it’s hard to text like tjis

 

Han: Just a few more minutes

 

Armitage: Something tells me it’s going to take more than a few minutes to get all this tape off of him

 

Padmé: Did you guys seriously just…

 

Ben: …Have Luke stand with his arms out and tape cardboard boxes to him?

 

Ben: Yes.

 

Jyn: This seems like it should be against the rules

 

Jyn: Luke isn’t cardboard

 

Padmé: It also feels very unethical

 

Jyn: Well that too, but who cares about ethics?

 

Armitage: Hey, if the zombie cardboard group can have a living fort, we should be allowed to have one too!

 

Padmé: ah…

 

Padmé: I can’t really argue against that one

 

Leia: Besides, Luke likes standing there!

 

Leia: It’s perfectly ethical!

 

Luke: i csn’t feel my arns

 

Leia: keep smiling, skyguy.

 

Luke: 😀

 

Anakin: sorry, skywhat

 

Luke: guys

 

Luke: guys i haev to snez

 

Han: He what

 

Cassian: I think he said he has to—

 

Cassian:

 

Han:

 

Padmé:

 

Cassian: Sneeze.

 

Ben: Well, there goes our fort

 

Armitage: And our Lion King…

 

Jyn: Smh

 

Jyn: Anyways, I wanna go see the Batman duck!

 

Obi-Wan: Padmé, Ezra, and Jyn

 

Maul: what are you doing

 

Obi-Wan: It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you

 

Maul: alright sure let’s do a dramatic introduction then

 

Obi-Wan: As Maul and I proudly present:

 

Maul: maybe warn me next time but sure

 

Obi-Wan: Batman Duck.

 

Ezra: Oh, he’s glorious

 

Maul: You, sir, appreciate art.

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: yeah if you two could maybe tone down the creepy art curator energy that would be nice

 

Jyn: Can we go inside the Batman Duck?

 

Maul:

 

Maul: So unfortunately he doesn’t just Look like he’s melting, he is Actually Melting

 

Maul: I wouldn’t recommend going inside if you value having, you know

 

Maul: Lungs.

 

Obi-Wan: And maybe your outer layer of skin.

 

Maul: Yeah that too

 

Jyn:

 

Jyn: Oh.

Chapter 110: The Cardboard Kings

Chapter Text

Padmé: So since I’m not interested in dying young

 

Poe:

 

Ben:

 

Padmé: WE’RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT

 

Padmé: Anyways I don’t want to be around Obi-Wan and Maul’s lung-melter duck any longer than I need to

 

Padmé: So let’s please move on to Cara and Fennec’s fort

 

Fennec: Welcome to our castle

 

Fennec: Just pretend the Swedish Fish on the ground are actual fish in our actual moat

 

Ezra: Oh is that what those things are?

 

Ezra: Can I eat them?

 

Cara: i mean we got them from melinda so there’s a 40% chance they’re radioactive or cursed

 

Cara: or they make din start freaking out and yelling about parallel universes

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: Can’t be worse than the zombie fort!

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: how does din do this full time

 

Cara: We helped him practice!

 

Padmé:

 

Jyn: So where are all the weapons?

 

Cara: Well Padmé said no weapons

 

Jyn:

 

Cara:

 

Jyn:

 

Cara: but yeah we keep them in that box over there

 

Jyn: YAY

 

Fennec: BUT DON’T TOUCH MY CANNON

 

Jyn: UGH FINE

 

Ezra: Ooooh, cardboard nunchucks

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: Is there anything else you’d like to show us? Maybe something that’s a legal part of this competition?

 

Fennec: Oh right

 

Fennec: We’ve got a cardboard couch over there

 

Fennec: And impenetrable cardboard walls obviously, since this is a fortress

 

Fennec: And a doormat

 

Ezra: that’s just a square of cardboard

 

Cara: Are you kidding me Ezra it literally says welcome on it

 

Ezra: it does????

 

Cara: yeah if you use your IMAGINATION

 

Ezra:

 

Padmé: Aaaaaand, it’s Bad Batch time!

 

Hunter: We present to you…

 

Hunter: Our ship, but made out of cardboard!

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: You did THIS with CARDBOARD??

 

Wrecker: It was mostly Tech’s plan

 

Echo: It was entirely Tech’s plan

 

Echo: But we all pitched in on building

 

Padmé: I think we have a clear winner

 

Padmé: Unless anyone wants to argue?

 

Maul:

 

Quinlan:

 

Finn:

 

Cara:

 

Anakin:

 

Padmé: Yeah, that’s what I thought

 

Padmé: Congratulations, Bad Batch

 

Padmé: You’re officially the cardboard fort kings

 

Padmé: oh and also get to choose next movie night 

 

Hunter:

 

Hunter: Lads

 

Hunter: It’s Barbie time.

Chapter 111: Yet Another Ill-Advised Field Trip

Chapter Text

Poe: So this has been fun and all but uh

 

Poe: What are we going to do about the couch?

 

Poe: Or rather, the pile of wood splinters and fluff that used to be the couch?

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: hmm

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: oh i’m going to regret this so much

 

Padmé: WHO WANTS TO GO ON A FIELD TRIP

 

Anakin: mEEEEEE

 

Fennec: MEEEEEEE

 

Cara: SHOTGUN

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: What have I done

 

Padmé: I need no less than THREE RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE TO COME WITH ME

 

Padmé: We need to balance them out somehow

 

Quinlan: what if

 

Quinlan: what if we all come with

 

Padmé: Does the bus have enough seats?

 

Fennec: It’s got the space!

 

Padmé: Seats, Fennec. Does it have seats.

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: It’s got the space!

 

Padmé: fine.

 

Padmé: All aboard the bus!

 

Poe: Rey come on get out of the box

 

Rey: i don’t want to

 

Poe: rey

 

Poe: you’re twenty years old

 

Rey: and?

 

Poe: that’s like five years too old to be cramming yourself into a cardboard box for fun

 

Rey: ok well i’m making up for lost time

 

Poe: …

 

Poe: Finn are you going to back me up here?

 

Finn:

 

Finn: I have an idea

 

Rey: wait what are you doing

 

Rey: WHAT ARE Y

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: I’m not going to ask why you two are dragging Rey in a cardboard box, but only if you promise to be on the bus in five minutes or less

 

Finn: Yeah we can do five minutes

Asajj: I’m calling the backseat because I am Not dealing with all of you for the next

 

Asajj: uh

 

Asajj: Hey Padmé, how long is this trip going to take anyway?

 

Padmé: …Good question

 

Padmé: Somebody consult Google about where we can get furniture fast

 

Ezra: There’s this place called… IKEA?

 

Padmé: Great. Fennec, we’re headed to IKEA.

 

Fennec: Aye aye, captain

 

Fennec: ALRIGHT, BUCKLE UP

 

Fennec: UNLESS YOU’RE ON THE FLOOR

 

Fennec: THEN JUST uhhhhh

 

Fennec: GRAB SOMEONE AND HOLD ON TIGHT

Chapter 112: Impending IKEA

Chapter Text

Padmé: So Fennec

 

Padmé: It would be nice if you could um

 

Padmé: KEEP THE BUS ON THE ROAD

 

Fennec: Do I have to?

 

Padmé: I can and will take away your mac n cheese privileges.

 

Fennec: Yes ma’am 🫡

 

Fennec: T minus 5 minutes until we reach IKEA

 

Poe: So are you going to get out of the cardboard box when we get there or

 

Rey:

 

Rey: Hmm

 

Poe: Guys what if we tried to mail her somewhere

 

Rey: hey so let’s not

 

Cara: Mail her to Melinda

 

Rey: guys let’s Not

 

Maul: Hey Padmé

 

Padmé: Yes?

 

Maul: if we brought, say, spending money with us

 

Maul: could we use that here

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: I have no idea where you found yourself spending money, but I can’t exactly stop you

 

Maul: Excellent.

 

Maul: KEEEEENOBIIIII

 

Asajj: Can you please stop doing that indoors?

 

Evaan: Yeah come on it’s a small space, you’re killing my eardrums

 

Maul: Apologies.

 

Maul: Kenobi

 

Obi-Wan: Yes?

 

Maul: We must purchase ourselves a

 

Maul: wait what are they called again

 

Maul: Ah yes

 

Maul: A Blåhaj

 

Obi-Wan: A what

 

Maul: Trust me, it’s important

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Maul: And unfortunately somewhat expensive, which is why we need to share our pocket money

 

Obi-Wan: …Fine. But only if we get joint custody over Blåhaj.

 

Maul: Deal

 

Anakin:

 

Anakin: why are they getting along now

 

Quinlan: I’m not sure, but it can’t be a good thing for either of us

 

Fennec: T minus 2 minutes

 

Fennec: Let’s see if I remember how to park this thing

 

Padmé: Fennec…

 

Fennec: It’s fine, I’ve done this several times before!

 

Fennec: Mostly successfully

 

Padmé: As long as we park Beside the building and not Through the building

 

Fennec: Oh yeah that I can do

 

Fennec: This is the part where all of you try really hard not to scream

 

Fennec:

 

Fennec: Guys I said try NOT to scream

 

Fennec: Why does nobody ever listen to me?

 

Quinlan: Probably cause they’re too busy screaming

 

Quinlan: Which, now that I think about it, I should probably get back to

Chapter Text

Padmé: Alright, once we get inside we’re going to need a plan.

 

Jyn: a what

 

Fennec: is this like when din tells us all the things we’re not supposed to do but then we go do them anyway?

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: We’re going to get in quick, and then get out quicker.

 

Padmé: And NOT because we’re getting kicked out, Cara.

 

Cara: you never let me have any fun ☹️

 

Padmé: Nope, because then we’d all be dead or in jail

 

Padmé: Moving on! The first team to find us a nice couch gets to be the first team to use it at movie night

 

Luke: Can we choose what to watch too?

 

Padmé: We’ll still be watching the Bad Batch’s choice, but you’ll get the couch

 

Armitage:

 

Luke:

 

Ben: yeah that’s enough of an incentive for me, let’s go

 

Poe: REY GET OUT OF THE BOX WE GOTTA RUN

 

Rey: IM TRYING

 

Poe: TRY HARDER

 

Poe: I’M NOT GETTING STUCK USING ZORII AS A PILLOW AGAIN

 

Zorii:

 

Zorii: well then how about i let you lie on the floor next time?

 

Poe: no please i take back everything i said

 

Obi-Wan: Maul

 

Obi-Wan: Maul what do we do

 

Maul:

 

Maul: It’s a worthy sacrifice, Kenobi

 

Maul: Think of our child. Think of Blåhaj.

 

Maul: A couch is nothing compared to his stuffed shark glory.

 

Obi-Wan:

 

Obi-Wan: You’re right. We have to.

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: Am I hallucinating this

 

Cassian: It certainly feels like it

 

Cassian: So are you just letting everyone run free in IKEA?

 

Padmé: I guess so

 

Padmé: It’s like dealing with small children. You need to let them run wild every so often so they don’t implode your house.

 

Cassian: Ah

 

Cassian:

 

Cassian: On that note, Jyn will you team up with me to get first dibs on the new couch?

 

Jyn: Absolutely.

 

Jyn: Onwards, into the endless abyss!

 

Ezra: Hey, that almost makes the acronym IKEA

 

Jyn:

 

Jyn: Onwards, Into Khe Endless Abyss!

 

Ezra: or you can just do that i guess

 

Padmé: the sweet sound of silence.

 

Padmé: oh how i missed you.

 

Anakin: Hey, there’s a way out of this place, right?

 

Padmé: Yeah?

 

Anakin: Oh, good.

 

Anakin: My team’s been lost in the land of throw pillows for almost an hour now

 

Padmé: It’s been… two minutes?

 

Asajj:

 

Asajj: I think there’s something wrong with your clock

 

Asajj: It’s clearly been an hour

 

Hunter: Something’s wrong with both of your clocks. My watch says it’s been 27 minutes.

 

Poe: There’s a clock on the desk here that says it’s 3 in the morning if that helps!

 

Han: Well it’s just after noon in the kitchen room

 

Jyn: how did all of you manage to make it through the room of endless office chairs

 

Jyn: this feels like my worst nightmare but with less generational trauma

 

Obi-Wan: the room of What

 

Ezra: Yeah can we go back to the endless office chairs

 

Ezra: I’m stuck in a sea of child-size closets

 

Fennec: Hey maybe you’ll find my younger self 

 

Fennec: she certainly spent enough time in there.

 

Ezra:

 

Ezra: I’m not going to address that because I don’t know how!

 

Ezra: Oh and it’s 10am here

 

Padmé:

 

Padmé: Well that’s going to make things interesting

What’s a trip to IKEA without losing all sense of time?
