A/N: This is gonna be fun. Humor abound.
Alternatives/From a Certain Point of View
Vader confronts his son. "Who drops into a shaft?" He barks, seeming irritated.
Taken a back at first, Luke gapes. "Like I had an alternative." Says finally.
"There is always an alternative."
Luke snorts and mutters: "Not to you guys." Of course, he means Palpatine really.
"What!" Vader seems really annoyed at this point.
"Oh c'mon ….Sith mantra seems to be join me or die. No alternative there."
Vader says matter-of-factly: "I thought the die part was obvious"
"That's why I said there is no alterative!""
"Yet you chose that alternative nonetheless."
Luke pauses, seeming to realize this obvious point.
"I wasn't trying to kill myself!"
"Temper temper." He tuts.
"That's your fault."
"You can't blame me for everything." Vader states. "You sound like a child. Is it also my fault you decided to commit suicide?"
"I wasn't trying to die. I thought I made that clear."
"No. You made it clear that you'd rather die than join me." Points out. "Once again, you did choose the alternative."
"You're not listening. You made that my only alternative." Luke seems exasperated at this point.
Smiles cruelly beneath his mask.
"And wipe that smile off your face?"
"You can't possibly tell that."
"I don't have to, you're enjoying this and I know it."
Vader seems amused by this.
"I'm out of here. I'm tired of dealing with you now. It's not bad enough you chopped off my hand but I need to have argument of semantics about alternatives with you." Storms off, slamming the door behind him.
This is why some species kill their young.
A/N: That was awesome...This came from when I was watching the Empire Strikes Back. A friend of mine helped me flesh it out, and I owe the last line to her. Thanks, Tamyra.
