I got this idea from a friend. I've wanted to do this all summer. You write for a certain fandom while listening to a song. When the song is over you have to stop writing and you can't go back and change anything.
I decided to use some of my favorite songs from this summer for this. I also debated endlessly on whether or not to tell you the name of the song. Well, it's an author's note; I'm not using it in the story, so I figured I'd go ahead and tell you.
Song: The Boys of Summer, by Don Henley.
The Room of a Thousand Fountains was not a beach. It was a very nice garden.
Tahl didn't want a nice garden. She wanted a beach.
Beaches had warm sand and Sun and waves. Gardens had the music of fountains and flowers and warm stone paths, but it wasn't a beach.
That was just what the Temple needed, she decided. A beach.
But if she told the Council, they would turn it down.
Of course they would. An indoor beach was so expensive. And who would want to see Yoda in swim trunks?
