Kanan Jarrus blearily opened his eyes and stared up at the blank white ceiling.
This was how his day always began - except that time, it would prove to be just a little bit different.
"Nghh..." Kanan moaned loudly, stretching out the gangly limbs that were too long for his bed. Then he rubbed his exhausted cyan eyes and glanced at the clock the holoprojector on his tiny nightstand was displaying.
6:59, it read.
Kanan's eyes widened and he let out a yelp. He'd forgotten to set the alarm!
Kanan half-scrambled, half-fell out of bed, becoming tangled in the sheets. Then he quickly scrabbled to his feet - or tried to. The unhelpful bedsheets caught at his legs and made moving very challenging. In a small, sleepy tantrum, Kanan thrashed them off, then finally rose up on his knees.
He abruptly hit his head on the edge of the nightstand. As he gripped at his cranium and swore in pain, the expensive holoprojector rattled off the nightstand and crashed to the floor, shattering into numerous pieces before Kanan's very eyes.
"Kriff!" Kanan shouted, gathering up the itty-bitty pieces. "Aargh!" He could probably put it back together again - being the jack-of-all-trades sort of Jedi that he was - but if he couldn't, he would probably have to ask one of his coworkers if he could borrow or rent a droid.
"Hmm." Gingerly avoiding the nightstand, Kanan sat up. Maybe that wasn't so bad, if he really thought about it. He knew that one of his coworkers owned an Astromech, and she was nice enough that she might allow Kanan to borrow the droid for free. Better yet, said coworker was hot, and he really had a thing for her. If he was lucky, maybe he could subtley connive this little favor into a long-daydreamed date!
Kanan smiled deviously. Yes, yes. This unfortunate morning was becoming quite the window of opportunity indeed.
