Back in Anakin's quarters, Anakin sat on his bed with pieces of lined paper spread out all around him. He held a pencil between his teeth as he tried to concentrate.
"We need to think of something witty, something that no one has ever thought of before, something completely ingenious."
He stared at the pieces of paper. "Something clever, something... Something..."
He looked up to see Ahsoka spinning in the swivel chair next to his desk. "Weeeeeeee!"
"Ahsoka this is serious."
Ahsoka frowned and stopped spinning. She almost collapsed from being so dizzy, but she caught herself.
"Like I was saying, we need something-" Anakin started.
"Something like this?" Ahsoka asked, handing him a piece of folded up paper.
He unfolded it and read it.
The top read "To Asajji Ventress. From Obi-Wan Kenobi."
"Can u b my girlfriend please?" Was written right under it. Then there were three empty check boxes labeled "Yes, no, and maybe."
Anakin gasped. "Snips this is perfect! You're so smart!"
Ahsoka smiled. "I know. It's a scientifically proven fact that Togruta are way more intelligent than humans."
Anakin glared at his Padawan. "Is not!"
"Is to!"
"Is not!"
Ahsoka grabbed the piece of paper out of Anakin's hand and waved it in front of his face.
"You see this?! This is proof that humans are nothing but a bunch of dinguses! Could you ever think of something as smart as this?"
Anakin folded his arms over his chest. "Yes."
Ahsoka shook her head. "Tell the truth, Skyguy."
A single tear rolled down Anakin's cheek. "I could never have come up with something like that!" He cried.
The sad thing is, these two weren't being sarcastic.
Anakin wiped tears from his eyes.
"How do we give this note to her?" Ahsoka asked.
Anakin thought for a second. "Hmmm... We leave it on her doorstep, ring the doorbell, and run away."
Ahsoka smiled. "Perfect. But wait, where does Ventress live?"
They had never really thought about it before.
"Does she live at the landfill?" Ahsoka asked, intending to roast her, but failing miserably.
Anakin still laughed. "Got eem! Naw, I don't think she does, but do ya know that real scary house downtown?"
Ahsoka's eyes widened as she nodded. "Oh yeah! The haunted looking old house that always smells like squirrel brains!?"
Anakin nodded excitedly. "That must be where she lives!"
"Perfect!"
Anakin smiled. "Stay right here, Snips. I have a surprise for you."
Ahsoka smiled and waited. When Anakin returned a few minutes later, he was holding something behind his back.
"What's that?" Ahsoka asked.
Anakin handed her a vase of roses left over from Obi-Wan's quarters. She set it down on the desk and smiled.
"A present for helping me get those two lovebirds together."
Ahsoka stood up and threw her arms around her master. He hugged her back.
"Aww, thank you so much! And the best part is you got them for free!" She said happily.
Anakin nodded. "I'm such a cheesy cheapskate!"
••••••
Obi-Wan was working on cleaning out his quarters when he found a note on his coffee table in Ahsoka's handwriting saying, "Heyo Master Kenobi. Me and Anakin left to go to the spooky old house downtown. If we don't make it, give all of our money and belongings to our dear friends, R2D2 and R7A7 please. 3PO can have that floppy hat I stole from Barriss if he wants it. Sincerely Ahsoka Snips Tano and Anakin Skyguy
Skywalker."
Obi-Wan set down the note. He knew they were up to something. Obi-Wan decided to follow them to the spooky house and find out. He knew just the one they were talking about.
••••••
Anakin and Ahsoka were standing far away from the spooky house and staring at it. Anakin shoved the note into her arms. "You go."
He tried to move her forwards, but she shook her head. "No! I'm too young to die! You do it."
Anakin gasped. "And I'm old enough?"
She nodded.
"We're only four years apart, Snips." Anakin argued.
Ahsoka put the note into Anakin's arms. "I don't care."
Anakin stood still. No matter how much Ahsoka tried to push Anakin towards the scary house he wouldn't budge.
"What if there's ghosts?" Anakin asked.
Ahsoka smiled. "Then we get to call the Ghostbusters."
Anakin sprinted towards the house.
"Yaaa! Da na na na na!" He sang the thyme song as he approached the door.
Ahsoka laughed to herself. Anakin was so gullible. They didn't know the Ghostbusters' phone number!
She ran up behind him. They were about to knock on the creaky door, drop the letter on Ventress's haunted doorstep, and run for their lives, when they sensed something. "Shit." Anakin whispered.
"Obi-Wan."
"What's he doin' here?"
"I dunno."
"Better run." Ahsoka said.
"Better run." Anakin agreed.
They put their arms in the air and flailed them around, running and screaming.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
While they ran away from Obi-Wan, Anakin accidentally dropped the letter.
Obi-Wan watched as his childish friends ran around in circles screaming. "Dear heavens." He muttered, shaking his head in sheer disappointment.
He watched as Anakin dropped a piece of paper and they ran out of his sight.
"Now what might this be?" He asked himself, walking over to the paper and picking it off the ground.
He read it and sighed. So that was what they were up to. Shipping him and Ventress. Obi-Wan would need help if he wanted to stop them. And he knew just who to call.
Ghostbusters!
Nope. Wrong guess.
Satine Kryze.
••••••
Anakin and Ahsoka reached the entrance to the Jedi Temple and stopped to catch their breath. "The old man's on to us." Anakin panted.
Ahsoka nodded. "We'll have to be even more sneaky next time we go to her house. You still have the note right?"
Anakin nodded. "Of course I do."
He reached into his pocket. "It's right he-"
The note was not right there.
"Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no!" Ahsoka glared at him. "ANAKIN SKYGUY SKYWALKER ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"
He shook his head. "I may or may not have dropped the note while I was running away."
Ahsoka groaned.
"It's okay! Maybe Ventress will find it outside of her house." Anakin said.
Ahsoka looked up at him with a deep hatred in her eyes. It was a little scary. "What if Obi-Wan found it?!"
Anakin put a hand over his mouth and gasped. "Oh no! We are so screwed!"
"Double screwed."
••••••
"Stop prank calling me." Satine groaned on the phone.
Obi-Wan had just told her everything that had happened that morning.
"I'm not prank calling you! All of this is real!" Obi-Wan shouted.
Satine sighed on the other end. "If you want me to come see you you can just ask. You don't have to make a big elaborate story about your frien- You didn't mention their names. Which friends are you lying about?"
"Anakin and Ahsoka."
"Oh my god."
Satine started pacing.
"What?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I've met Anakin and Ahsoka. You aren't lying. I'll be there as fast as I can."
Satine hung up the phone.
Obi-Wan smiled evilly to himself. They were going to put an end to his friends' shenanigans.
I know this is kinda short. i just wanted to leave this chapter on a cliffhanger. :)
