I'm trying to get back in the groove. And I'm really tired of writing super long, super angsty, super absolutely going nowhere, absolutely making no sense fics, so I'm trying humor again! I don't really have a title yet, so I'm just going to call this Grocery Market AU for now. Please R&R!
1: Anakin, Padme, and Eggs
"And I need three cartons of eggs, five bags of Doritos, a box of that really nice Earl Grey tea-"
"Hold up. Go back to three cartons of eggs!" Anakin dumped the tub of cheese dip into the grocery cart, trying not to drop his phone.
On the other end of the line, Obi-Wan sighed exasperatedly. "Three cartons of eggs. Five bags of-"
"Wait wait wait!" Anakin picked up three cartons and stacked them precariously in his arms. "Five bags of Doritos, right?"
"Yes, Anakin."
"Okay." He was just about to place the eggs gently into the cart when something bumped into him from behind, making him drop all three cartons. Anakin watched in horror as thirty-six eggs splattered all over the items in his cart.
"Oh dang," he muttered. Obi-Wan was not going to be happy.
"Anakin? What happened?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!"
"Anakin turned around, filling to the brim with anger, and prepared to yell at the person who had just ruined his whole day.
"What the-" he stopped abruptly.
The person who had just ruined his whole day was an angel.
"Hi," he said.
"I'm so sorry," the angel said, face scrunched in concern.
"Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see," Anakin said.
The angel gave him a weird look. "Excuse me?"
"Anakin, did you just use a pickup line on me?" Obi-Wan demanded.
Anakin took his phone away from his ear, extending his arm out to the angel. "Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Anakin."
"Um... I'm Padme," the angel said, shaking his hand. Anakin decided he was never going to wash that hand again. "Again, I'm so sorry about that."
"About what?" Anakin asked, fixated on Padme tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Um," Padme pointed to a space behind him. "That?"
He spun around. There was a grocery cart covered in eggs. "Is that mine?" he asked.
"Yes?"
Anakin blinked. "Huh."
"ANAKIN SKYWALKER!" Obi-Wan's tinny voice yelled from his phone.
"What?" Anakin yelled right back, bringing his phone back up to his mouth. Padme jumped, startled.
"You better be done with grocery shopping! I need to make dinner, and you know how Ahsoka gets when she's hungry!"
"Oh, damn it," Anakin whined.
"I'll just- be going," Padme said awkwardly, wheeling her cart away.
"No! Wait! Are you an interior decorator?"
"Uh, no..."
"Because when I saw you, the entire room became beautiful."
"Thanks, I guess," Padme said, and walked away.
Anakin pouted. Damn it.
Please R&R! If you've got any ideas, comment! ~jedikhaleesi
