Behind the Jedi Temple, Ahsoka and Barriss were sitting under a tree, enjoying their picnic of cookies, sandwiches, and cookie sandwiches together. Ahsoka was eating awfully fast, and Barriss was growing a bit concerned at her pace.

"Slow down, Ahsoka," Barriss warned. "You're going to get hiccups eating that fast."

"No I won't," Ahsoka murmured, her mouth full. Taking large gulps, Ahsoka swallowed all her food at once. "See? I'm fine. HIC!" Blushing, she held a hand to her mouth. "HIC!"

"Told you," Barriss muttered. Searching the picnic basket, she found a water canister. "Here, drink from this."

"HIC!" Ahsoka quickly gulped down the water.

"No, not so fast! Drink slowly."

"HIC!" Again, she tipped her head back, letting the cool water flow into her mouth and down her mouth. "HIC!" It didn't work.

"Hmm..." digging through the picnic basket, she pulled out a small citrus fruit, and cut a small slice. "Try biting into this."

"Mmph!" Ahsoka's big blue eyes bugged. "Ugh, it's so sour!"

"Did it work, though?"

"HIC!"

"Alright, then...perhaps we should go find Master Skywalker."


"Hiccups, huh?" Anakin asked them. The three of them were standing in the hangar, preparing for a mission.

"HIC!" Ahsoka nodded.

"Gee, I wonder why," he smirked, eyes on the chocolate smear on the corner of Ahsoka's mouth. Letting out another hiccup, she wiped it away.

"We've tried water and fruit but it's not working. We were hoping you knew how to fix it?"

"Well, for me, holding my breath usually does the trick."

"HIC! Well, worth a try I guess."

Sucking in so much breath, Ahsoka turned into a balloon and floated towards the ceiling (apparently, that was still an ability she carried over from the Cookie Incident.) By the time she reached the top, she exhaled very loudly, making the room shake as she flew wildly around before landing on her feet back in front of Anakin and Barriss.

"...Hey, maybe that-"

"HIC!"

"No, never mind."

"Everything alright, sir?" Rex walked up to the group. "Heard a lot of ruckus coming from this direction."

"For the most part, we're good. Just trying to figure out how to get rid of Ahsoka's..."

"HIC!"

"...Hiccups."

"You try holding your nose while looking down at the ground and spinning around?"

"Let's, HIC, see if that works."

At first, Ahsoka started in small circles, which as she got dizzier, got bigger. So big in fact, she was spinning out of control.

"Snips, look out!"

Too late. She had already knocked down all of the cruise fighters like dominoes. Luckily, no one was hurt.

"Whoops! Sorry! HIC!"

"Er, sorry, General Skywalker." Rex rubbed a hand behind his head, embarrassed. "That one's on me."

"Happened here, what has?" Master Yoda entered the hangar.

"We're trying to fix General Tano's hiccups. Any ideas, sir?" Rex asked.

"Hmm...old Jedi Trick, there is."

"Really? What, HIC, is it?"

"Backwards, say your name."

"My name? HIC! Why?"

"Need to know, you don't. Just say it."

"Um, alright. Onat...Akos...ah."

"There. Cured, your hiccups are."

Ahsoka stood there in silence, her body no longer disturbed by the contractions in her diaphragm.

"Hey! It worked! Thanks, Master Yoda!"

"Anytime, Padawan Tano."

Commander Cody came in and told the group it was time to go. Everyone else left for the ships (which, surprisingly undamaged, were being set upright), but Anakin stayed behind.

"I don't mean to be skeptical, but is that really how you cure hiccups, Master Yoda?" he asked. Yoda simply laughed and shook his head.

"Only one real cure for hiccups, there is: go away, wait for them to. But humoring the young ones, it is fun to."
